Chapter 1209: Chapter 1228: Small Treasury

Huo Beijiang uneasily touched his nose, "Also... the secret stash!" His wife was too good to him, making him voluntarily surrender his hidden funds.

"Nice going, Huo Beijiang, you even dared to keep a secret stash."

"It’s all Tu Cheng’s idea," Huo Beijiang immediately shifted the blame, "Uncle Tu has always told us that a man must have a secret stash."

Nan Fei was both amused and annoyed, grabbing his shirt collar and asking, "So how many secret stashes do you have? How did you hide them?"

Mentioning the secret stash, Huo Beijiang furrowed his brow and hesitated before replying, "I’m not exactly sure how many, but I can show you."

The couple stood on the steps at the entrance of Xin Yuan, which offered a great view of the entire commercial district below. A valuable piece of property, bustling even at night.

"There, that building over there, and here..." Huo Beijiang gestured around, and finally pointed to the ground beneath their feet, casually adding, "All these lands belong to the Huo Family. There’s also some on the outskirts of the city; I’d have to go home and check the books to know exactly how many."

Nan Fei was shocked. This... was this really just a secret stash, and not a national treasury?

The rings were slipped on their fingers, marking their commitment. From then on, their ring fingers were not nameless; they each bore the other’s name.

Wei family’s residence—

That afternoon, the farce at the Huo family’s doorstep was not the end; when everyone had left, the real storm slowly began. Wei Fangyi had just arrived at his office when he urgently received a report and rushed back home. Upon entering, he saw his eldest son sitting expressionless in the living room.

Tang Qian, with a swollen cheek, sat opposite Wei Qin.

As for Wei An, he had been kicked hard by Fu Xinwu and was now hospitalized for observation at the clinic within the large residence courtyard.

Coincidentally, he was with Lu Dongxin.

The siblings, fortunately, had each other’s company, but even during hospitalization, they hadn’t forgotten to garner a wave of sympathy.

"When did you get home?" Wei Fangyi entered and first spoke to Wei Qin, "How are you feeling? Can you handle it? Do you need to go to the hospital to check?"

"No need!" Wei Qin’s voice was as cold as bone marrow, "I’m doing very well." Over the past twenty-plus years, he had never felt as good as he did today, never had such a strong desire to live on.

He was still alive!

He wasn’t dead yet! Some dared to exploit people’s sympathies to bully Jiang Yang, wishing to annihilate him completely. Once he died, how would others treat Jiang Yang?

Wei Qin dared not even imagine.

"That’s good!" Wei Fangyi sighed, his temples graying, appearing even older than before. His straight back seemed almost bent under the heavy burden. He turned his gaze to Tang Qian, feeling physically and emotionally drained.

"Why did you let Wei An go create trouble for Jiang Yang?" Wei Fangyi felt it was time to have a serious conversation with his wife. His previous affection and indulgence had cultivated her arrogant personality.

He knew his wife wasn’t inherently bad, but she had been manipulated time and again, causing irrevocable harm to others, which was truly unforgivable.

Tang Qian shivered, regret stirring in her heart.

She didn’t know what had come over her, regretting only after hitting someone. Later, she was beaten by Fu Xinwu, and neither her husband nor her son stood up for her, filling her heart with grievance.

She also resented her husband and son’s partiality.
