"Coexistence is mutual, not something to demand from just one person. How can we blame you for acting accordingly when she's the one who started it all? As a father, I certainly hope for harmony in our family, but if the problems run too deep, striving to maintain a superficial appearance of unity is pointless."
Immediately after, Wei Mingting spoke earnestly to Wei Ruo, "You're my daughter, and it's my duty as your father to shelter you from harm. Clearly, I've been unfit for that role as I haven't been able to fulfill my duty. Now that someone wants to harm you, you're protecting yourself. Should I blame you for that? Is there any sense to that?"
A blow struck Wei Ruo's heart.
Afterwards, she turned her head away, unable to meet Wei Mingting's eyes.
After a moment, Wei Qingruo handed a letter to Wei Mingting: "Father, you can take this letter to the address written on it, where you may find something useful."
