âWomen from the countryside are promiscuous. Mom, how can you let such a woman marry Qin Fu?â
âThatâs right! Grandma, I also heard that Wan Xiaosu has returned to the Bai house and that she even seduced the servants! How could you let a woman like that get pregnant with my cousinâs child?â
âYes, yes, yes! Women in the countryside are so dirty and indecent. I heard that they like⦠they like to steal men!â
â¦
The butler said that he was going to take Wan Xiaosu to see the old madam, but when she reached the door, she was greeted with humiliation.
Those dirty words attacked Wan Xiaosuâs self-esteem. They were probably uttered because of how she looked.
She had always been bullied. However, she did not expect that such disputes would arise after marrying into the Qin family.
Their voices were very loud. It was as if they wanted everyone to hear them.
In the living room.
Wan Xiaosu saw a kind old man with white hair. A middle-aged woman and a young girl were seated next to him.
The butler explained to Wan Xiaosu that the middle-aged woman was Qin Fuâs older brotherâs wife, Zhao Min.
Beside her was Qin Ya, Qin Fuâs cousin.
Wan Xiaosu had heard of Qin Ya. She was a big star and always appeared on television.
Wan Xiaosuâs best friend was also a fan of Qin Ya.
âChild, come and sit with me.â The old lady waved at her kindly.
Wan Xiaosu walked over, taking small steps. Just as she was about to sit down, Zhao Min clicked her tongue and said sarcastically, âIf she were to sit on such an expensive sofa, it would probably need to be washed hundreds of times.â
âThatâs right. Isnât it obvious that you donât deserve to sit on this sofa?â Qin Ya crossed her arms, looking high and mighty.
Wan Xiaosu understood.
The Qin family did not want her here either.
She smiled politely at the old lady. âGrandma, Iâll just stand.â
âChild, Iâm sorry.â The old madam took her hand, looking heartbroken. She patted the back of her hand comfortingly.
Wan Xiaosu looked at the amiable Mrs. Qin and thought of her grandmother. She couldnât help but feel sad.
âGrandmaâ¦â she said from the bottom of her heart, unable to stop herself.
Qin Ya did not bother to keep up the act after seeing Wan Xiaosuâs aggrieved expression. âWhat are you pretending for? Wan Xiaosu, we didnât do anything to you, did we? Youâre making it seem like weâre bullying you. Youâre from the countryside. Youâre really uneducated.â
âEnough! Xiaosu has just moved in, and itâs fine if you donât wish her well, but you keep making sarcastic remarks. Are you looking down on her, or are you looking down on me?â Mrs. Qin slammed the table angrily.
Zhao Min quickly explained, âMom, Yaya didnât mean it that way. Itâs just that Wan Xiaosuâs family background isnât good. The countrysideâ¦â
âShut up! Do you think Iâm old and muddleheaded?â Mrs. Qin had also done her research beforehand. If she did not trust Wan Xiaosu, she would not have let Wan Xiaosu get pregnant with Qin Fuâs child.
Wan Xiaosu wrung her hands. At that moment, thousands of thoughts surged into her mind.
She really seemed like her grandmotherâ¦
âMom, youâll definitely regret this decision.â Zhao Min pulled Qin Ya away and glared at Wan Xiaosu before leaving.
After the mother and daughter left, the living room became much quieter.
Mrs. Qin held Wan Xiaosuâs hand and said guiltily, âYou must be having a hard time, child. Theyâre not bad people. I hope you donât hold a grudge.â
âI know, Grandma. Thank you for protecting me.â Wan Xiaosu was truly grateful.
She was the only one who was treating her with kindness.
Wan Xiaosu cherished it very much.
Mrs. Qin nodded in satisfaction. She reached toward her belly.
He caressed her belly gently. âXiaosu! If you deliver a Qin family child, you can have anything you want.â
Wan Xiaosu couldnât help but shiver. She seemed to understand what Old Madam Qin had doneâ¦
She wanted to make sure she stayed pregnant.
She walked out of the living room.
Slap!
She was caught off guard by the slap. Wan Xiaosu almost lost her balance. Qin Ya had slapped her.
Qin Ya had the air of a young miss. She crossed her arms and stared at her with disgust.
She sized her up from top to bottom.
âLittle vixen, I donât care how you won Grandma over. For however long youâre here, Iâll give you a hard time and hit you every time I see you.â
âRemember that. Do you hear me?â
âIâm talking to you. Little vixen⦠Ah-â
Before Qin Ya could finish, she screamed.
Wan Xiaosu had slapped her, and she was now tugging at Qin Yaâs hair.
Their insults made Wan Xiaosuâs eyes turn red. At that moment, she was done tolerating it.
âIâm not a vixen! Iâm not! Apologize! Apologize to me!â Wan Xiaosu cried.
Qin Ya was in so much pain that she couldnât open her eyes. She struggled and screamed, âCrazy, crazy-â
âApologize! Apologize!â Wan Xiaosuâs hands were tightly clenched, and she was very agitated.
In the end, the butler broke up their fight.
Qin Ya trembled as she stared at Wan Xiaosu.
Wan Xiaosu sat on the ground and cried. Her aggrieved emotions had reached their peak.
After she calmed down, the butler sent her to Qin Fuâs room.
She looked at the butler expressionlessly and spoke slowly through pale lips. âSir, am I really that terrible? Am I not welcome here?â
âYoung madam, youâre wonderful. Please donât let your imagination run wild.â The butler left.
She looked at Qin Fu and couldnât hold it in any longer. She lay on the side of his bed and burst into tears.
She told him about her troubles and everything she had experienced over the years. She did not know that his fingers were moving throughout her story.
Wan Xiaosu had been living in the Qin residence for half a month now, and she now had some obvious symptoms of pregnancy.
Her stomach churned.
She kept vomiting.
A low and hoarse voice came from behind. âWho are you?â
Wan Xiaosu suddenly turned around and met Qin Fuâs gloomy eyes. His eagle-like gaze often inspired fear.
âYou⦠Why are you awakeâ¦â Was he not a vegetable? What?
Why did he wake up?
Qin Fu found it ridiculous. Did this woman really hope that he wouldnât wake up? âGet out!â
âIâ¦â Wan Xiaosu wanted to explain, but Qin Fu suddenly fainted, falling forward.
Without thinking, she reached out to support Qin Fu.
She was very close to him and could see the pores on his delicate skin.
His nose was tall and straight, and his lips were thin. He smelled manly despite having been lying in bed for so long.
He smelled so good.
Old Madam Qin, who received the news, urged the butler to turn around. However, on the way back, an accident happened. A bright red Bentley lost control and crashed into them.
Bai Qiangwei did not have the chance to move out of the way and directly collided with it.
Bang!
The carâs hood was knocked off.
Blood flowed like a river in the car.
Bai Qiangweiâs fingers twitchedâ¦
