âYou are now my wife in name. If the Bai family wants to hurt you, you can fight back.â
âFight backâ¦?â
âYes, because the only person who can bully you is me.â
Wan Xiaosu hissed.
Qin Fu bit her neck. The pain in her neck almost made Wan Xiaosu faint.
Madam Bai looked at the happy couple, and an unfathomable emotion flashed across her eyes. Bai Qiangwei, on the other hand, felt unhappy when she saw Qin Fu protecting Wan Xiaosu.
In Bai Qiangweiâs eyes, a woman like Wan Xiaosu should live in squalor.
To her, she was a dirty country bumpkin.
âYoung Master Qin, no matter what, I am Wan Xiaosuâs biological mother. Arenât you going a little too far?â Madam Bai felt like they were all uneducated. She still felt like she was in the right.
However, the words âa little too farâ sounded harsh to Qin Fu.
Was this too much?
âToo far, Madam Bai? Compared to your inhumane behavior, Iâm behaving like a saint. If you want me to behave myself, thatâs fine too. Please allow Bai Qiangwei to pay with her life then.â
âYouâ¦â Bai Qiangwei stepped forward. She wanted to defend herself, but Madam Bai stopped her.
Madam Bai did not like Wan Xiaosu at all, and she disliked Qin Fu even more. âIt was an accident. Young Master Qin, only the butler died. Why canât you let it go?â
âThen why didnât you die, Madam Bai? If your family is willing to behave, Wan Xiaosu will suffer the punishment in your stead by joining my family. If your family is unwilling to be courteous, I have many other tricks up my sleeve. Try me, madam.â
Qin Fu picked Wan Xiaosu up and left without turning back.
Bai Qiangwei stomped her foot angrily. âMom, look at how arrogant Qin Fu is. Now that Wan Xiaosu has someone to rely on, he thinks he can treat us badly.â
âHow can a country bumpkin be welcomed into their family? I heard that he had her child aborted. Qin Fu was just putting on an act for us.â Madam Bai spoke as if the girl was a stranger instead of her daughter.
How could a biological mother be so cruel to her child?
Bai Qiangwei was happy because her mother thought of her as her only daughter.
This was a good thing.
âMom, Iâm so happy to be your daughter.â Bai Qiangwei happily grabbed Madam Baiâs hand. Madam Bai looked at Bai Qiangwei with a tender and motherly expression.
At this moment, Wan Xiaosu was in Qin Fuâs car.
She was holed up in a corner in a daze. She looked pitiful and sad.
Qin Fu glanced at her, and his expression turned cold. âWan Xiaosu, the most useless thing in this world is weakness. No one will sympathize with the weak. The Bai family sent you to atone for their sins. Do you understand?â
âYes.â She had always known that the Bai residence was not her home. âYoung Master Qin, can you let me go home for a little while? I want to see Grandmaâ¦â
Tears kept streaming down her face. She was lucky that her sad expression often inspired pity and made people love her more.
However, it had no effect on Qin Fu. He pinched Wan Xiaosuâs chin with his slender fingers.
He pinched her hard. âWhy? Why should I bring you to your grandmother when my grandmother is lying in the hospital?â
âIâm sorryâ¦â Wan Xiaosu choked out and closed her eyes.
However, she only wanted to make sure that her grandmother was safe. That would be enough.
She tried to kneel before Qin Fu and beg. âYoung Master Qin, I just want to check on her. When I come back, you can punish me however you want. Please.â
Qin Fu looked at Wan Xiaosuâs pitiful position and got a little annoyed. Was she stupid?
He had said so much, yet she did not understand.
He looked down at Wan Xiaosu. She had managed to kneel, and she was crying her eyes out. He swiped at her tears with his thumb. âYouâre not allowed to cry!â
âIâ¦â
âHmm?â Qin Fu put his finger over her lips. Wan Xiaosu swallowed her words.
Seeing that she had quieted down, he said, âRemember, Wan Xiaosu! The Qin family is not a charity organization. You have to suffer for what the Bai family has done. You have no right to resist, understand?â
Wan Xiaosu pursed her lips and did not respond.
When they arrived at the Qin residence, he locked her in a small and dark room.
She curled up in a corner.
Time passed slowly. Her lips became dry and cracked because she did not drink any water.
She was injured and very weak.
Creak!
The door opened. A middle-aged woman walked to Wan Xiaosu and set a basket on the floor.
It was full of food.
âYoung madam, have some!â The middle-aged woman passed her a pair of chopsticks.
Wan Xiaosu ate with her hands. A starved person could eat anything.
After being starved for a while, everything seemed delicious.
âEat slowly, eat slowly. Things have been hard on you, young madam. The old madam once asked me to take good care of you. Now that sheâs not here, Iâll do my best to make sure nothing bad happens to you!â The middle-aged woman consoled Wan Xiaosu earnestly.
Wan Xiaosu was grateful to Mrs. Qin, even though she knew that she was using her.
However, that love was something that no one else had ever given her.
âThank youâ¦Thank you, madam!â
âJust call me Mrs. Landis. Young madam, donât blame the young master. Heâs just anxious. Heâll be fine in a little while.â Mrs. Landis couldnât help but sigh. She might not have been telling the truth.
Wan Xiaosu shook her head. She did not blame anyone.
She would not blame anyone.
The Bai family owed the Qin family. She was here to atone for their sins. She owed the Bai family. She had Bai family blood in her veins.
Mrs. Landis left after chatting for a while.
Wan Xiaosuâs abdomen gradually started to hurt. It was so painful that she curled into a fetal position.
âAhâ¦â Her forehead was covered in sweat. It was agonizing.
âWan Xiaosu!â
In a daze, she looked up at Qin Fu, the man who hated her the most.
She stretched out her hand and frowned. âQin Fu⦠Save meâ¦â
She did not know that her fair hands were covered in blood.
Qin Fu was shocked. He picked her up and said, âWan Xiaosu, who gave you food? Did you eat it all? Are you out of your mind?â
âIt hurtsâ¦â Wan Xiaosu was in so much pain that she was barely conscious. All she knew was the agony.
âGrandmaâ¦â
She missed her grandmother.
Suddenly, her grandmother appeared and a white mist surrounded her. She looked at her kindly and stretched her hand out to her without saying a word.
Just as she was about to reach out to her, she heard a domineering voice by her ear.
âWan Xiaosu, if you dare to fall asleep, I wonât let you off! Even if I have to chase you to the underworld. I wonât let you off!â
âQin Fuâ¦â This man was acting more domineering than usual.
That overbearing voice did not stop, âWan Xiaosu, your sins have not been forgiven. Donât you dare close your eyes!â
