Chapter 829 - 822: Unrepentant to the End
Is Qi Hui just a tool for having children?
Facing Old Qi’s questioning, Leng Liewei had no rebuttal. Initially, he never thought he would have any involvement with Qi Hui, a woman similar in age to his son.
Afterward, he did investigate. But at that time, the matter involved Leng Yichen and Luna, and indeed he did sleep with Qi Hui, which he couldn’t deny. To prevent a bigger scandal and give Old Qi an explanation, he only reluctantly allowed Qi Hui to stay with the Leng Family. The subsequent developments were unforeseen to him.
Later, Qi Hui had his child. He wanted that child, and he was willing to give Qi Hui everything she wanted for the sake of the child, except for status.
However, no one can satisfy a woman who is endlessly greedy. Leng Liewei had done everything he could to satisfy Qi Hui, even giving her a significant portion of his shares, something even Luna never had. If Leng Liewei only regarded her as a tool for having children, it would be unfair to him. He genuinely considered many future paths for Qi Hui, but none were what she wanted.
"Uncle Qi, if Dad only regarded Qi Hui as a tool for having children, why would he let stepmom suffer so much? And why would he directly give her so many shares?" Bai Yiran looked at Old Qi, "Uncle Qi, you should know that due to those shares, Huamei Country almost became Qi Hui’s! Isn’t her current state due to her own greed and her own fault? Today is my dad’s discharge day, and you came to the hospital just to say these things? To plead for your criminal daughter? We’ve never forced Qi Hui to embezzle funds; it’s all her own doing!"
Bai Yiran was really fed up with the Qi Family members, the daughter’s unrepentance, and the father’s grievances and complaints.
Old Qi gave Bai Yiran a desolate look, and then his gaze fell on Leng Liewei. He took a step forward, and Wang Hai immediately stepped forward too, blocking Leng Liewei in advance, worried that Old Qi might impulsively harm Leng Liewei.
Seeing Wang Hai’s actions, Old Qi was stunned, a hint of sarcasm flashing in his eyes.
"Wang Hai, it’s okay." Leng Liewei said calmly to Wang Hai, who then stepped aside.
Old Qi stepped forward again and suddenly knelt down in front of Leng Liewei.
No one expected Old Qi to make such a move. Leng Liewei wanted to reach out and help him up, but being in a wheelchair rendered him powerless, so he called Wang Hai to assist Old Qi instead.
But Old Qi firmly refused to get up, tightly clutching Leng Liewei’s wheelchair, "Old Leng, listen to me, hear me out!"
Leng Liewei nodded to Wang Hai, and he didn’t try to help Old Qi anymore, stepping aside again.
Old Qi, with red-rimmed eyes, looked at Leng Liewei, "Old Leng, I know everything Xiao Hui did was her own responsibility; it’s her own fault. But could you help her considering she once bore a child for you?"
Hearing Old Qi’s words, Bai Yiran and Luna both frowned, and Leng Liewei showed signs of struggle.
"The police arrested her, and the judge sentences her. How can I help her?"
Old Qi, holding Leng Liewei’s wheelchair, asked urgently, "As long as you go to plead with the judge, or if Huamei International unilaterally forgives her, won’t the judge reduce her sentence by a few years?"
Upon hearing Old Qi’s words, Leng Liewei fell silent, his expression turning complex.
"Uncle Qi—"
Bai Yiran wanted to speak up to help Leng Liewei out of the situation but was stopped by Leng Liewei’s raised hand.
