After Being Reborn, I Tortured The Vicious Sister-in-law Novel - Chapter 407

407 Wei Ting Was Wronged

“Ah!” After a scream, Wei Xue felt an aching pain in her nose, followed by a warm current. However, she was a little dazed from the fall and didn’t get up.

Because Wei Xue had made too much of a commotion, it had alarmed Mother Wei, who was playing mahjong. She came out with three other mahjong friends to take a look and saw Wei Xue sprawled on the ground without any care for her image while Wei Ting stood at the side and watched.

Mother Wei quickly went forward to help Wei Xue up. When she saw that Wei Xue’s nose was bleeding and that her face and clothes were all covered in blood, she wanted to help her. However, she didn’t know where to start when she saw the blood, so she quickly called the servants to get some tissue.

After giving her instructions, she turned to reprimand Wei Ting. “Didn’t you see your sister fall? Why didn’t you help her?”

!!
“She fell on her own,” Wei Ting said with a cold expression.

He didn’t seem to feel any heartache at all. Wei Ting meant that Wei Xue had fallen on purpose, but Mother Wei had clearly misunderstood and thought that Wei Xue had fallen accidentally, and Wei Ting had deliberately not helped her up.

She couldn’t help but glare at him. She wanted to say something, but there were a few outsiders standing next to her, so she couldn’t say anything harsh. Otherwise, she would be a joke.

“Aiya, I suddenly remembered that I’m going shopping with my sister. I almost forgot. What time is it now? Madam Wei, I’m sorry, but we’ll come and play mahjong with you again next time, okay?” one of the madams said in a hurry.

The other three madams also knew what to do. Seeing that the situation was not right, they quickly found an excuse to leave.

How could Mother Wei not know what these people meant? Seeing that they had such good judgment, she nodded her head in satisfaction and agreed.

She took the tissue from the servant and handed it to Wei Xue. After the other three madams left, she began to reprimand Wei Ting.

“It’s fine if you don’t come home usually, it’s fine if you don’t care about your mother going to prison, it’s fine if you help outsiders to lecture your family, I can turn a blind eye to all these things. But what’s with you bullying your sister?”

“What’s wrong? Have you been drugged by that wild girl, Su Meng? You suffered a loss at her hands and came home to vent your anger on your family?! Xiao Xue was so happy to hear that you were back. She came out to pick you up happily, and this is how you treat her? She fell down and you won’t even help her?”

“Mom, it’s all my fault for being careless. I was too happy to hear that Brother Wei Ting was back, so I didn’t pay attention to my feet and tripped. It has nothing to do with Brother Wei Ting. He was just about to help me up when you came out.” Wei Xue didn’t want Wei Ting to be lectured because of her, because she was afraid that Wei Ting would bear a grudge against her.

Even though she knew that Wei Ting had avoided her on purpose, she still had to speak up for him.

“You’re just too kind. You never know how to fight back when you’re being bullied, and you’re always speaking up for others. How can Mom be at ease when she marries you off in the future?”

Mother Wei raised her hand and wanted to touch Wei Xue’s face. However, when she saw the blood on Wei Xue’s face, her hand turned in the air and touched the top of her head instead. Her eyes were filled with kindness.

Wei Xue’s face immediately turned red when she heard her mother say that she was going to get married. She stole a glance at Wei Ting and whispered, “Mom, it’s still too early to do this. I haven’t spent enough time with you.”

Wei Xue and Mother Wei seemed to have a good relationship. Their caring and coquettish looks were no different from biological mother and daughter.

Wei Ting shifted his gaze to Wei Xue and sized her up. Of course, he also noticed that when Wei Xue was talking about her marriage, she was secretly looking at him with a red face.

After so many years, this was the first time he had seriously sized up Wei Xue.

If it was in the past, he would have taken Wei Xue’s actions as unintentional and would have reached out to support her. However, ever since he found out that she loved him, he realized that something was wrong when he looked at her actions.

The way Wei Xue looked at him was a lot more passionate than how a younger sister looked at her older brother. Thinking back, Wei Xue would always want to have physical contact with him, intentionally or otherwise. Previously, he had only thought that Wei Xue was insensible and had lectured her a lot about it.

Even though he dodged every time, Wei Xue’s actions were worth him thinking deeply about.

Also, what Wei Xue had just said to defend him, saying that she had fallen because she hadn’t been paying attention to her feet? He clearly saw that Wei Xue was standing very steadily before she fell. It was obvious that she had fallen on purpose.

Wei Xue began to feel nervous under Wei Ting’s constant gaze. Her heart beat faster and her face reddened.

Wei Xue hurriedly averted her gaze. She didn’t know if her actions just now had aroused Wei Ting’s suspicion, but thinking about it, her acting skills should be pretty good. Wei Ting shouldn’t be able to tell.
