Wei Qingwu looked at the pretty Wei Yiyi in front of him and felt that fate was unpredictable. He didn't expect this girl to come back after going around in circles.
"Perhaps this is fate." Wei Qingwu said indifferently," A person should be grateful. The Wei family raised you. Now that Mengning has been carried away by the paper figurines, you have the blood of the Wei family flowing in your veins. Naturally, you are a part of the Wei family. It is time for you to make a sacrifice."”
Wei Yiyi was confused.
She still didn't know what had happened. Her father had just called to ask about her birthday. When he found out the date of her birthday, he was ecstatic and pulled her into the reception room.
Now, Wei Qingwu, the head of the Wei family, was saying something that she did not understand.
She subconsciously looked at her father, only to find that his father, Wei Xingwu, was whispering excitedly to Huang Yanru. He didn't even look at her.
The gazes of the Wei family around her made her breathless.
Those eyes were filled with passion, jealousy, pity, regret, and other emotions, making her inexplicably flustered.
"May I ask what you want me to do?”There were too many people at the scene. Coupled with everyone's gazes, she felt that something was wrong. She spoke softly.
Although his voice was soft, Wei Qingwu still heard it.
Previously, Wei Qingwu felt that Wei Yiyi was extremely beautiful, but her personality was submissive and had no temperament. She was just a pretty vase that could not be put on stage, so he felt a little disgusted and sick of her.
But now, he realized that this personality was a good thing for the current situation. Because this meant that the girl in front of him would not resist.
Of course, this did not mean that he would tell Wei Yiyi about it.
"Little girl, the Wei family wants to use your life to exchange for Wei Mengning's life.”
Big Stone, who had been sitting silently on the sofa, heard Wei Yiyi's question. Wei Qingwu didn't say anything, but he told the truth.
When the Wei family heard this, they looked at Big Stone. Wei Qingwu frowned and looked at Big Stone with displeasure.
Big Stone didn't care about everyone's gazes. He looked at Wei Qingwu and smiled casually." Old Master Wei, this little sister doesn't look like someone who will resist. It's fine to say it. When a person is about to die, at least let this little sister be a ghost who knows."”
Wei Qingwu remained silent.
He said that there might be changes. If she didn't say anything, as long as she kept it a secret, with Wei Yiyi's personality, she might just exchange her life with Meng Ning.
Naturally, it was better not to say it. However, since Big Stone had already spoken, he had no intention of refuting him.
Seeing this, Big Stone told Wei Yiyi the conditions and effects of using the Life-Death Doll.
The more Wei Yiyi listened, the more uneasy and terrified she became.
She looked around and found that the Wei family was looking at her with pity in their eyes.
However, there was a deep indifference in his pity.
That was because no one had come out to speak up for her, and no one had come out to plead for her.
When she thought of the horrifying paper figurine carrying the palanquin, she felt a great sense of despair, and it was so heavy that she couldn't breathe.
Suddenly, she saw Wei Xingwu. Her dim eyes lit up and she called out with hope," Dad."”
However, when he heard Wei Yiyi's voice and felt the gloating gazes around him, Wei Xingwu flew into a rage out of humiliation.
He had originally thought that others would despise him for sacrificing his daughter's life. Now that Wei Yiyi was looking at him for help, if he did not say a word as a father, wouldn't others think that he was worse than a beast?
But at this moment, what could he say?
As he thought about it, Wei Xingwu also lost all his pride. He said coldly," Yiyi, I've raised you for eight years. You've been living in luxury every day. Just as the old man said, I gave birth to you and raised you. Now that the Wei family needs you, it's time for you to repay the Wei family.”
If Wei Yiyi was at the bottom of the cliff just now, climbing up the cliff by holding onto the rocks, then right now, she was about to climb up the cliff when she was pushed down by the person she thought was the closest to her.
The light in Wei Yiyi's eyes gradually dimmed. She smiled. It was a dim smile, a smile of despair, and a smile of lifeless.
Mom, did you see that? This is the man you love deeply.
Ever since her mother died of a terminal illness, Wei Yiyi had to wake up every day to study.
Music, chess, calligraphy and painting, dance, yoga, etiquette and physique. Basically, he spent more than 15 hours a day studying.
Eight years as a day.
No matter how bitter or tired she was, she never cried.
And what was the point of learning all this?
To put it nicely, she was a real socialite. To put it bluntly, in ancient times, she was no different from a thin horse in Yangzhou.
The ultimate fate was to give it away to please the high officials and nobles.
Did she know her fate?
Wei Yiyi actually knew. Although she was a yes-man, under her mother's guidance, she matured early from a young age. Just like how Wei Xingwu had asked her to seduce Yan Hongtian of the Yan family, although she resisted, she still accepted it silently in the end.
Before her mother died, she told her to listen to her father so that her life could be smooth. Therefore, even if she was feeling uncomfortable, she always remembered this advice.
However, now, she wanted to exchange her life for Wei Mengning's.
Why?
"Why?" Wei Yiyi's voice was very soft. She looked at Wei Xingwu, her eyes full of resistance and hatred." Why should I use my life to exchange for Wei Mengning's?"”
The girl in front of him seemed to have regained her soul at this moment of despair.
Between life and death, there was great terror.
Some people calmly accepted death; Some were hysterical, some were struggling, and some were desperate. Some people had a drastic change in personality, while others had a transformation from the inside out.
Wei Yiyi was the latter. When she was facing death, no one would help her. No one would plead for her, not even her father.
In fact, it was her father who caused her death.
At this moment, she realized that she could no longer be a marionette.
Unfortunately, it was too late.
Wei Xingwu saw the hatred in Wei Yiyi's eyes and was furious. He didn't expect that Wei Yiyi, who had always been submissive, would actually dare to resist at this moment.
However, with the old man around, he could only say angrily," Have you forgotten what your mother told you before?”
"My mother was blind back then to fall for a beast like you!”
"You…"
Wei Xingwu looked at Wei Yiyi's cold and hateful gaze, as if it was his first time meeting the girl in front of him. He almost couldn't help but reach out and slap her.
"Alright!"
Wei Qingwu stopped this farce. He didn't even look at Wei Yiyi. Instead, he turned to Big Stone and said," Mr. Big Stone, let's begin."”
"No rush." Big Stone had finally seen what was going on. He took out a golden bead from his pocket and smiled." I'm a kind-hearted person. I can't bear to see innocent people die. This is a golden bead that I happened to get. It might be able to save this little girl's life.”
If Xia Qingqiu was here, he would definitely recognize this golden pearl. It was exactly the same as the one her father, Xia Tianwei, had given her.
