Chapter 1909: What’s the Point of Living

So what if there was a pile of delicious food?
If that child was alive, he would definitely like more things than dragon whisker candy and fruit skin.
Those were just childhood memories.
But this memory belonged to this father who had lost his beloved son.
Even his son could only live in memory.
One wrong thought would lead to unknown consequences.
If Ji Qing’s parents weren’t so selfish back then and didn’t have ulterior motives, this child wouldn’t have died and they wouldn’t have died. Ji Qing would definitely have waited for a suitable heart.
After all, she had not changed her heart after all these years. She was still alive and well.
In order for their daughter to have a complete childhood and not have any regrets in her life, they cruelly took the life of another child and nearly destroyed their family.
Even she was unlucky enough to be involved.
Back then, he had almost lost his life to find her. Now…
She was afraid that she had really dug up the Ji family’s ancestral grave in her previous life.
This kind of unlucky thing happened twice.
She could tell how much Wang Chengwei doted on his son, but if it was any other time, she might be moved.
But now, the more he acted like this, the more uneasy she felt.
The deeper the love, the deeper the hatred. He was worried that if he got agitated, he would vent his anger on her.
“My good son, be good. Daddy won’t let you die in vain. I’ll get those people who harmed you to accompany you…”
Ji Fengmian’s scalp turned numb. “At your son’s age, he should be kind and innocent. I don’t think he will be willing to see what you want to do. And you… have you really not thought of a way out? He…”
Wang Chengwei sneered, “Retreat? I’m the only one left with my family. What kind of retreat do you think I should plan for myself? I only know that my son died unjustly and my wife died with regrets! I think they must have been glaring at me to accompany them… If not for you, they wouldn’t have waited for me for so many years!”
“I don’t support the idea of revenge. Even if you really kill Ji Qing, your wife and son won’t be able to survive. They’ll have to sacrifice their lives. Do you really think they would want you to do that?”
“Shut up! Don’t talk to me about this!” Wang Chengwei supported himself with his legs and stood up slowly. His eyes were bloodshot from crying, like a bloodthirsty demon.
Ji Fengmian couldn’t help but take a step back.
Wang Chengwei looked at her fiercely. “Everyone understands the logic and I understand it too. But…” He paused, and his bloodshot eyes trembled. He pointed at his son’s tombstone and said hatefully,” Have you ever lost your son? Has your son ever been killed? ”
Ji Fengmian was stunned. Her gaze swept across the tombstone that Wang Chengwei was pointing at. For some reason, the smiling boy on it pierced her heart.
She averted her gaze. Of course, her son had never died. That kind of thing would never happen.
“Why aren’t you saying anything? Do you still think that your reasoning is reasonable? Reason… Ha, my son won’t die even if he’s reasonable. The reason that exists in this world is for honest people to hear…”
Ji Fengmian didn’t say anything else.
Because she agreed with Wang Chengwei.
That was why she had never thought of herself as a good person.
She knew.
Since ancient times, the strong preyed on the weak.
Wang Chengwei didn’t give himself a chance to turn back. The sky gradually darkened, and the entire cemetery looked eerie.
However, he was no longer as nervous as before.
Perhaps he felt at ease guarding his son and wife. Perhaps he felt that there was no point in being afraid anymore.
Ji Fengmian stood there quietly as he watched Wang Chengwei wipe his wife and son’s tomb repeatedly.
At this moment, she was still thinking that for the sake of her child’s happiness in the future, she might have to restrain her temper and stop fooling around with Chu Boyang.
All these years, she admitted that she had a bad temper. The fact that Chu Boyang could bear the burden until now was a sign of his sincerity.
Although she couldn’t cut ties with Ji Qing, she wondered if she could take a step back and trust Chu Boyang again.
Although she was still a little unhappy, for the sake of her child and to give him a complete family, she could make some concessions.
When Chu Boyang came to save her, she really wouldn’t argue with him anymore.
“You’re quite calm.”
Seeing how quiet she was, there was no fear on Wang Chengwei’s face. Instead, there was hope.
Ji Fengmian retracted the faint expression on his face. “Will you let me off if I’m agitated?”
Wang Chengwei laughed. “Do you think… that man surnamed Chu will bring the Ji family’s woman here?”
Ji Fengmian paused. “I don’t know…”
“When I called him just now, his voice sounded quite cold. What’s your relationship with him? To be honest, his attitude makes me a little uncertain. Do you think you’re worth it for him to use the Ji family’s girl to exchange for you? Do you think he will?”
Ji Fengmian didn’t want to hear this question.
At Chu Boyang’s place, who would she and Ji Qing choose?
Was she worth Chu Boyang sacrificing Ji Qing in exchange for her?
She didn’t answer this question. She didn’t want to answer, and before she could, Chu Boyang’s appearance gave Wang Chengwei an answer.
“Although I don’t know if the two of you are lovers, you’re inferior to that Ji family’s girl.”
Wang Chengwei looked at the tall and slender figure walking towards them under the darkness and sneered. It was not difficult to hear the sympathy and pity in his voice.
Ji Fengmian looked at him. He came in the twilight with a cold aura. Behind him were his assistant and the two people who had been guarding Ji Qing’s ward.
Her eyes flickered slightly.
Wang Chengwei suddenly grabbed her and pulled her behind him.
“But it’s okay. You’re unlucky today. I can’t catch Ji Qing. It’s not bad to drag you along when I die. After all, you’re not absolutely innocent.”
As he spoke, he took out a knife from his waist and threw it away. The sharp blade was pressed against Ji Fengmian’s neck.
Ji Fengmian could only raise his neck to avoid being injured. He felt the blood in his body turn cold.
Without seeing Ji Qing, her neck could be cut off by Wang Chengwei at any time.
“Wang Chengwei… You’re from the Ji family, so you wouldn’t do something like that, right?”
Ji Fengmian’s voice trembled uncontrollably, and it was because he was afraid.
“Don’t mention them to me. They’re animals… Animals who kill without spilling blood…”
“I won’t deny it.” Ji Fengmian swallowed carefully. “But that man opposite us is innocent, right? He has nothing to do with your feud with the Ji family…”
Wang Chengwei’s voice trembled nervously. “You’re the one in danger now. How can you still care about others?”
“I’m pregnant. It’s his. You’re a father. You asked me if my son had died just now. I didn’t, and I can’t understand your feelings personally. But since you know, you shouldn’t let yourself be like the Ji family and let another innocent father suffer like you, right?”
“You hate the Ji family, so you won’t allow yourself to become someone like them, right?”
Wang Chengwei leaned against his son’s tombstone. When he heard Ji Fengmian’s words, surprise appeared on his face.
“What did you say? You…” He paused and his eyes turned fierce again. “You’re lying to me! If you’re really pregnant with his child, why wouldn’t he exchange the Ji family’s girl for you? Even if you’re really not that important and he doesn’t care about you, he should care about the child in your stomach… If what you said is true, I don’t think there’s a need for you to live anymore. You and the child combined aren’t as important as Ji Qing. Look at how much of a failure you’ve been!”
If she didn’t have a brain, she would have been disheartened by Wang Chengwei’s words.
“I still…”
“Shut up!” Seeing Chu Boyang approaching with his men, Wang Chengwei suddenly shouted and tightened his grip on Ji Fengmian’s shoulder.
Ji Fengmian took a deep breath.
She raised her chin and looked at Chu Boyang.
Seeing this, Chu Boyang’s expression changed and he quickened his pace.
“All of you, stop right there!” Wang Chengwei suddenly shouted and took two steps back with Ji Fengmian. His body staggered and as he swayed, the sharp blade sliced open the skin on Ji Fengmian’s neck, causing blood to flow out.
Chu Boyang’s eyes darkened and his cold gaze landed on Wang Chengwei. His voice was deep and clear.
“You’d better give her to me. Otherwise, I’ll make you die in front of your wife and children.”
Ji Fengmian had seen his usual casual appearance before. He had also seen him in a suit and leather shoes. He had an extraordinary bearing and was gentle.
She had never seen such ruthlessness and insolence under such appearances. It didn’t look like a storm. The depth and heaviness were the oppression and darkness before the storm. It made one’s heart skip a beat and guess how fierce the storm would be later.
How was he a gentleman? He was actually very dark and arrogant.
Wang Chengwei looked behind him to confirm that Ji Qing had no intention of appearing.
“You really didn’t bring that girl from the Ji family?”
Chu Boyang looked at him coldly. It was an absolute answer.
Wang Chengwei sneered and looked at Ji Fengmian sympathetically. “Look, that girl’s life is more important than your two lives. What’s the point of you living?”
Ji Fengmian’s face turned cold. “I think if you die, your wife will definitely live with your son.”
“Old Wang! Is this woman the person you’re looking for?”
