CHAPTER 835: CHAPTER 835: MAJOR NEWS

Pain! This is a kind of pain so intense it makes you reflexively want to vomit. Blood spurts out from the cut, splattering across Wei Ji’s cheek.

It’s so hot it feels like it could burn the skin.

There was a brief silence in the living room, followed by Wei Ji’s painful wails.

"Are you fucking insane? Are you fucking really crazy? He’s your son! Don’t you love him dearly? How could you strike him like this?" Wei Lai was in disbelief, as if he no longer recognized his wife. He spoke while pulling Wei Ji behind him protectively.

"Didn’t you think he was useless, that he ruined you? I’m solving him for you now, isn’t that good? Don’t worry, once he’s dead, I won’t live alone either. Our family will reunite underground." Wei Mother said seriously.

It was precisely her seriousness that made it terrifying. At this moment, Wei Lai believed his wife was truly capable of killing him.

"I was just saying it, I didn’t really blame him. I only have one son, and I can find another job, right? So hurry and put the knife down, let’s take our son to the hospital." Wei Lai reached out towards Wei Mother, trying to take the knife from her hand, speaking in the gentlest tone he could manage, hoping to calm her down.

Tears streamed down Wei Mother’s face, but she gripped the knife even tighter instead of letting go.

"No, you’re wrong. You’re entirely wrong. You lost your job, and those we once looked down on, those we offended, they’ll all come for us. They’ll come to mock us; our family will become the laughing stock of all Shangjing. If you can’t return to your old position, we’ll become like drowned rats, hounded by everyone, do you understand, husband?" Wei Mother said in a trembling, tearful voice.

"Things might not be as bad as you imagine, and didn’t you want to solve this problem before? Didn’t you love your son the most? Didn’t you love me the most? How could you bear to harm us? Leave this to me, I’ll handle it. Give me the knife, and I’ll take our son to the hospital." Wei Lai coaxed softly.

"You two are the men I love the most, so I can’t let you bear such grievances. Men of the Wei Family are proud. How could they lower their heads and be laughed at? Stop lying to me. If Wei Ji hadn’t sent out that message, we’d still have a chance to turn things around. But he sent that message, nailing us down; we are doomed to never regain our former glory." Wei Mother’s eyes blinked, and a tear slipped down her cheek.

Previously, when Wei Lai was angry, she stood in front of Wei Ji, shielding him from Wei Lai’s wrath because she hadn’t realized the severity of the problem then, and partly due to an instinct nurtured over twenty years of parenting. But once reality hit, she couldn’t accept such an outcome.

She was proud, destined to stand at the top of the pyramid. She couldn’t accept herself falling from grace to be trampled by anyone. This was not the life she wanted.

But to die alone was too terrifying; she knew her husband and son couldn’t endure such a life. So, she might as well be the villain and let the family reunite underground.

Wei Mother’s lips curled into a stiff smile, and as Wei Lai approached again, she swung the kitchen knife once more, aiming this time for Wei Lai’s neck.

She could love Wei Lai deeply, placing him first above all else, but that deep love also gave her the strength to act brutally.

Wei Lai never expected that his once-loving wife would really swing a knife at him. He couldn’t dodge in time and instinctively raised his arm to block the sharp blade.

Wei Ji, still hiding behind Wei Lai, was in so much pain that he couldn’t even scream. If it weren’t for the fear of his mother rushing at him again, he might have passed out already.

This precarious awareness allowed him to vaguely hear the sound of a knife as if it were stuck on bone.

Wei Ji found it difficult to describe what kind of sound it was, but subconsciously, he categorized it as that.

Wei Ji cautiously lifted his head to look at his parents.

It turned out not to be an illusion, Wei Ji thought with a pale face.

The sharp knife that had just cut him was now stuck in his father’s arm.

Wei Mother gritted her teeth and pulled the knife out, Wei Lai’s reaction nearly identical to Wei Ji’s, except he didn’t scream as loudly but still let out a muffled groan, drastically different from his usual self.

Wei Ji had never seen his father so vulnerable before.

Wei Mother looked disapprovingly at Wei Lai, "Why did you block it? That strike was enough to kill you. Now you’re just suffering. Be good, promise me you won’t block it again. I love you, I won’t harm you." Wei Mother tearfully pulled the knife from Wei Lai’s body, speaking affectionately, and the next moment, the knife swung again at Wei Lai’s neck, which he continued to block.

But a person only has two arms—how long can you block? That knife, which had sliced him multiple times, finally landed on his neck, gushing blood like a red fountain.

"Husband, don’t go first. Wait for me, our family of three will reunite soon." As Wei Mother spoke, she looked at her son, Wei Ji, who was already pale from loss of blood.

He had barely dodged and hadn’t even managed to plead much before he died under his mother’s knife.

Looking at the two men she loved most lying in a pool of blood, an expression of satisfaction appeared on Wei Mother’s face, and she placed the knife on her own neck.

As blood spurted out in that instant, Wei Mother seemed to see Wei Lai and Wei Ji smiling brightly, reaching out to her.

With a satisfied smile, Wei Mother closed her eyes.

No one could ever have the chance to trample on them. They will always be superior, always!

After Xu Ke targeted the Wei Family, he no longer concerned himself with their matters. Their fate, after all, was orchestrated by him, the playwright. Knowing the ending made it unnecessary to waste time paying further attention.

So when Xu Ke heard about the Wei Family again, it was through the television news.

Watching the news of the family’s tragic death, Xu Ke slightly raised his eyebrows in surprise. This outcome was unexpected, and he hadn’t anticipated that this family would choose such a final, death-laden resolution.
