Chapter 949 Preference
"Tongtong, Tongtong, is that you?" Wei Wushuang suddenly spoke, his hoarse voice seemed to have been polished by rough sandpaper, so rough and unpleasant that it made people's scalps numb.
Wei Yutong had already burst into tears. She walked forward tremblingly, choking and crying: "It's me, sister, it's me, I am Tongtong, I..."
She opened her arms and wanted to hug Wei Yutong, but her neck was pinched by a pair of shriveled hands. She suddenly stiffened all over, as if someone had taken the breath away.
"sister?"
Wei Wushuang's expression began to become ferocious, "Tongtong, I really miss you. Do you know how much pain I was in? That man cut my throat with a knife, and I watched my blood spurt out like a fountain. Do you know how hard it was, how helpless, and how desperate I was?
“I tried to cover my neck, but the blood kept pouring out and I couldn’t stop it. The hot, slippery blood flowed out from between my fingers, and I soon fell to the ground.
"The moment I lost consciousness, I asked myself, what did I do wrong in my life to have to face everything I have now? I regretted it at that time."
Wei Wushuang's expression looked ferocious and terrifying, but the words he said were strange and filled with endless sadness.
Wei Yutong just let her sister strangle her, because she remembered clearly what happened at that time. Her sister being alive was the biggest surprise, and it was also a redemption for her, giving her the courage to face what happened that year.
But Shen Congrong was worried that his wife would be hurt, because Wei Wushuang's nails were very long and sharp, and it would definitely be painful if they poked into the flesh.
"Sister, let go, let go of Tongtong!"
Shen Congrong held Wei Wushuang's wrist, which was surprisingly thin, with only skin and bones left, and it felt rough and dry. It was hard to imagine what she had experienced over the years. The once dazzling Wei Wushuang was like a fallen star, no longer shining.
Wei Wushuang really let go and looked at his sister with tears in his eyes.
In fact, she didn't use any strength in her hands just now. She even had difficulty holding a cup full of water, so how could she have the strength to strangle her sister's neck?
She was just too aggrieved, too hateful, too excited, too sad. Countless emotions intertwined together, making it hard for her to breathe. She wanted to indulge herself and release her emotions.
That's it.
However, Wei Yutong felt like she was pushed into an ice cellar because of her sister's words. Although she did not see it with her own eyes, she could imagine the tragic scene at that time. Seeing her sister's crazy appearance, she felt as if her heart was hollowed out. The severe pain almost suffocated her.
Guilt came rushing in like a tsunami, swallowing her whole in an instant. She covered her chest and gasped heavily, as if she was drowning. The harder she tried, the more difficult it was to breathe.
Madam Wei beside her hugged her daughter distressedly and cried uncontrollably, "Shuang'er, my dear Shuang'er, you have suffered so much over the years, and my heart is broken. How can I share your burden?"
Wei Zheng clenched his hands, his cloudy eyes were red from tears, he turned his face away, not wanting anyone to see his miserable appearance at the moment, but the indescribable feeling of heartache made him tremble uncontrollably.
He knew that he could not blame his youngest daughter, but he still transferred all his hatred onto Wei Yutong, especially since his youngest daughter had hardly experienced any hardships in these years. She was over fifty years old, but was still spoiled like a little princess. Then look at her Wushuang, 32 years of separation, 32 years of imprisonment, 32 years of torture worse than death, why were the life trajectories of the two daughters so different?
Why can the younger daughter be so happy while the older daughter has to go through all this hardship?
Wei Zheng gritted his teeth and pointed his trembling index finger at Wei Yutong, "You see, if it weren't for you, your sister wouldn't be like this today. Her life has been ruined by you. Why are you so happy?"
Wei Yutong cried and shook her head, her mind full of her sister's ferocious look just now, and she didn't hear what her father said at all.
Shen Congrong was shocked beyond words, looking at his father-in-law in disbelief. He never thought that a father could say such cold-blooded and heartless words!
The anger exploded instantly. He gritted his teeth, but still couldn't control his anger. He could only hold his wife tightly in his arms, and trembled in accusation because of grievance and anger, "Dad, have you considered Tongtong's feelings when you said these words? Why can't Tongtong be happy when I am not happy? Why should everything that happened to me be blamed on Tongtong?! Did she do something against the will of heaven and treason?!
"They are both your daughters. Why do you feel sorry for Sister Wushuang but not for Tongtong?"
Wei Zheng turned a deaf ear to it. Parents always wanted to treat their children equally, but that was simply impossible. He never denied that he favored his eldest daughter. Everyone who knew him knew this. He never thought he was wrong. Everyone likes to have their own preferences, and children are the same.
Seeing that his father-in-law did not respond, Shen Congrong became even more furious. He stopped using strength in his arms and only wanted to give his wife more strength and support.
Although it is not clear why Wei Zheng showed up at this time since Wei Wushuang had been there before, and why he asked his wife to come to this place to meet him, it doesn’t matter anymore. It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t have such a family member. It is enough for Tongtong to have him spoil her. He will protect Tongtong all her life!
"Tongtong, let's go!"
Shen Congrong almost squeezed out these words from between his teeth. As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Yutong collapsed and screamed, "Ah..."
Her body trembled violently and she spat out a large mouthful of blood. Then, as if all her strength had been drained away, she fell limply to the ground.
"Tongtong!" Shen Congrong was horrified. He immediately touched his wife's shaky body, looked at her with horror and asked, "What's wrong? Tell me, where do you feel uncomfortable?"
Wei Yutong's eyes went dark and she fainted.
Shen Congrong was horrified, and all the blood in his body seemed to have frozen into ice in an instant. Fear overwhelmed him. He was afraid of losing his wife, so he immediately picked her up.
Wei Zheng stopped him at this moment and looked at him sternly: "Where are you going?!"
Shen Congrong gritted his teeth, "Where else can we go? Of course, send Tongtong to the hospital. Didn't you see she fainted?! She is sick, she just vomited blood!"
Wei Zheng still turned a deaf ear to everything in front of him, not taking it seriously at all, "I can't leave!"
"Why can't I leave?! Why can't I leave? Are you Tongtong's biological father? She is very ill, you know? Get out of the way, I want to take Tongtong to the hospital!"
Shen Congrong growled angrily and tried to force his way out, but Wei Zheng wouldn't let him.
People in middle age are already physically weak. Even though Wei Yutong was slim and vigorous, Shen Congrong still had difficulty holding her up. In addition, Wei Zheng, who he was facing, was already old. He did not dare to confront him head-on, fearing that Wei Zheng would bump into something and cause irreversible consequences. So he could only glare at his father-in-law angrily.
"Dad, Tongtong's life is important!"
Shen Congrong suppressed his anger and roared.
At this moment, Madam Wei, who had been guarding Wei Wushuang, stood up and walked towards Shen Congrong.
