Wei Jinyi, who was engrossed in writing at a desk, amiably set down his brush at the sound of an entrance, then motioned for Wei Mingting to take a seat across from him at a table set with tea.
Upon glance, Wei Mingting sat down face to face with Wei Jinyi.
"Madam Wei handled this matter unfairly," Wei Jinyi addressed Wei Mingting. "She may have had Wei Qingwan's familial bond in mind when making her decision, but did she ever consider her bond with Ruoruo?" Wei Jinyi chimed in with a counter-question.
Wei Mingting sighed in response, "Indeed, she favors Wanwan and mishandled the recent incident. However, your actions tonight were just as bad -- she is, after all, your mother in name."
"Given her senior status, if she takes it into account in every decision, Ruoruo would struggle in this household. Better I play the villain than have Ruoruo suffer," Wei Jinyi replied.
Wei Jinyi's words took Wei Mingting by surprise: "Your concern for Ruoruo is unexpected."
