C11 Unable to Endure

Wei Dongcheng finally couldn't take it anymore. He grabbed the car keys from the table. "I have to find Wei Ya and bring her back. If I don't, she'll only stray further."

After speaking, he turned to Wei Tiantian. "Tiantian, do you know where Zitao lives? Take me there. We can't let your sister stay with him."

Wei Tiantian hesitated, unsure if she should lead Dongcheng to Zitao's place. Knowing Zitao's nature, she feared they might walk in on something inappropriate.

"Well, looks like we have to go," Tiantian resignedly nodded to Dongcheng and led him to Zitao's apartment.

During the drive, Tiantian began to see Dongcheng in a new light. He was a good father, always trying to guide his daughters on the right path, which explained his actions now.

Zitao lived in a rather upscale apartment. Perhaps the Ning family felt guilty about Zitao being an illegitimate child, or maybe they wanted to give him a chance to prove himself. Either way, they only provided him with a place to live, nothing more.

Tiantian looked at the apartment with disdain, remembering her own time there. The thought of what Wei Ya and Zitao might be doing made her feel sick.

Wei Tiantian had just discovered that Ning Zitao's mother and her adoptive mother were the same person. Ning Zitao's father was notorious for being unfaithful, constantly chasing after other women, and it eventually caught up with him.

This revelation meant that, biologically, Wei Ya and Ning Zitao were half-siblings, sharing the same father. This made Wei Tiantian even more excited; if she could create a scandal, it would be easier to dismantle Wei Ya's reputation.

"Make sure Ning Zitao's door is open so Wei Dongcheng can get in without any trouble," Wei Tiantian instructed the system in advance. The system promptly responded.

[Door is open, ready for entry, cost: 5 merit points]

Wei Tiantian watched as Wei Dongcheng approached Ning Zitao's house and effortlessly opened the door, further damaging his impression of Ning Zitao. Inside, Wei Dongcheng was greeted by the sight of two people in an intimate embrace, their clothes nearly off, suggesting something more was about to happen.

Although it seemed they hadn't gone too far, Wei Dongcheng was visibly pained and couldn't hide his anger. "Wei Ya! Come out here right now!" he demanded.

Wei Ya, startled by Wei Dongcheng's furious expression, quickly dressed, but the marks on her neck were all too visible to him.

Wei Dongcheng stormed into the room, grabbed Wei Ya, and pulled her out. "You're coming home with me now!"

Ning Zitao, witnessing the scene, didn't dare to intervene and could only watch as Wei Ya was forcibly taken away by Wei Dongcheng.

Standing at the door, Wei Tiantian chuckled at Ning Zitao's cowardice. Noticing her presence, Ning Zitao asked curiously, "Wei Tiantian, what are you doing here?"

"Oh, I'm just here to see your pathetic face. It's quite amusing," Wei Tiantian replied with disdain.

Her words infuriated Ning Zitao. By now, Wei Dongcheng and Wei Ya were already downstairs, unaware of the confrontation happening above.

Glaring at Wei Tiantian, Ning Zitao sneered, "Wei Ya's gone. How about you help me out instead? I know you'd love to."

"Do you really think I won't make you regret that?" Wei Tiantian's eyes narrowed, her whole demeanor exuding danger.

For a moment, Ning Zitao felt a flicker of fear under her gaze. Was he really as pathetic as she claimed? He refused to accept that. After a brief hesitation, he lunged toward Wei Tiantian, attempting to overpower her.

In the end, Tiantian closed her eyes, only hearing the system's response.

"[Zitao has successfully become a eunuch, costing 20 Karma Points]"

Honestly, those 20 Karma Points made Tiantian's heart ache. In her mind, Zitao was already a lost cause, and now making him even more so cost her so much. She decided she needed to find cheaper ways to punish people in the future.

Thinking about this, Tiantian sighed. What a pity.

Just as Zitao was about to reach Tiantian, a sharp pain below made him look down, only to see a crimson stain. Fear spread through him, and he no longer cared about Tiantian's feelings.

Tiantian left the apartment, unable to stand Zitao's wailing any longer. She didn't know when she left, but it was a reluctant decision. Otherwise, she would have liked to torment Zitao a bit more.

When she got downstairs, she found Dongcheng and Ya still waiting in the car. Ya looked at Tiantian with a mischievous glint in her eyes.

Judging by Ya's red and swollen eyes, Dongcheng must have given her a stern talking-to, which explained the way she was looking at Tiantian.

"What are you doing up there?" Wei Ya demanded angrily at Wei Tiantian.

Wei Tiantian raised an eyebrow. Compared to Wei Ya, she was more composed and confident from every angle. "I just went up to warn Zitao not to bother you anymore. What's wrong with that? He promised he wouldn't come looking for you unless you initiated it," Wei Tiantian explained to Wei Ya.

Wei Ya wanted to argue back, but under Wei Dongcheng's watchful eye, she couldn't muster a word.

Wei Tiantian didn't want Wei Ya to be so obedient. With all three of them in the car, she took the opportunity to show Wei Dongcheng the paternity test she had prepared. "Dad, I just found out that Zitao's mother is the same person as my adoptive mother. This clearly means something. I think you can figure it out without me spelling it out," Wei Tiantian said, handing the test results to Wei Dongcheng.

Already distressed, Wei Dongcheng became even more upset after seeing the results. He shouted at Wei Ya, "You are not to see Zitao again!"

Wei Ya was shocked. How could she possibly be Zitao's sister? The thought of what they had just done was utterly against all sense of propriety.

Wei Ya had always believed that all these troubles were caused by Tiantian: "Tiantian, everything is your fault. If it weren't for you showing up, I could still be the cherished daughter of the family. Because of you, why did you have to come here? You're not welcome!"

After saying this, she lunged at Tiantian, her hands wrapping around Tiantian's neck. Tiantian's face turned red from the lack of oxygen.
