Chapter 940 - 938: The Cruel Truth is Personally Unveiled

“She’s still alive, but this woman is quite a hassle—every day she wakes up causing trouble… The guys couldn’t handle it, so they roughed her up a bit,”

The man being questioned scratched his head awkwardly. They knew that hitting a woman wasn’t great, but this woman was no good either, so they didn’t hold back at all.

Listening to the man’s words, Xiao Mi didn’t show much surprise, just a faint smile as she tilted her head towards the man.

“Take us to see her,” said Xiao Mi, not caring about how miserable Geng Qiu’s situation was. What mattered to her was if Wen Xin could extract the information she wanted.

Wen Xin and Xiao Mi followed the man into the basement. Upon entering, they instinctively pinched their noses due to the unpleasant smell of the basement.

Xiao Mi kept an eye on Wen Xin’s actions and, seeing Wen Xin’s disgusted expression, spoke gently, “If you find the smell here offensive, we can head upstairs and have them bring her up.”

Her concerned voice made Wen Xin turn her head towards Xiao Mi, giving her a soft smile and a gentle shake of her head.

“No need for that trouble; just a few questions will suffice.”

Wen Xin didn’t have much time to waste with Geng Qiu; she had other matters to attend to. She just wanted to know who had instigated Geng Qiu.

Wen Xin walked to the room where Geng Qiu was held, gently pushing the door open. The figure inside, initially lying on the bed, suddenly jumped up in surprise and hid in a corner.

Seeing this scene, Wen Xin’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly—she found it quite amusing, not expecting that Geng Qiu would know fear.

“What? Scared now? Weren’t you quite arrogant before? I heard you wanted to ruin me at the banquet. Didn’t expect this, did you? It’s you who’s fallen so low.”

Wen Xin looked at the small bundle cowering in the corner and coldly smiled, finding Geng Qiu a very interesting person who seemed never to understand what fear meant. She hadn’t expected that just the sound of a door would scare her like this.

Hearing the familiar voice, the figure in the corner shook involuntarily, seemingly not expecting Wen Xin to be there.

In that moment, Geng Qiu suddenly stood up and lunged towards Wen Xin.

However, before his body could touch Wen Xin, he flew out like a rag and harshly hit the wall.

Just then, Geng Qiu coughed violently and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing Geng Qiu lying on the ground in a pathetic state, Xiao Mi’s beautiful brow involuntarily furrowed, and she looked somewhat awkwardly at Wen Xin.

“I might have used too much force… I didn’t know she was so frail…”

Listening to Xiao Mi’s somewhat embarrassed words, Wen Xin raised her hand and gently patted Xiao Mi on the head, giving a faint smile, “There’s no need to be lenient with someone like her.”

During her time living with the Geng family, Geng Qiu had already worn out all of Wen Xin’s good moods. She had never laid a hand on Geng Qiu, solely because of Old Master Su’s dying request—that she should provide some care for Su Li when she was alone and unsupported.

Wen Xin always remembered the life-saving grace of Old Master Su, so she never forgot his dying requests.

However, her family never knew when to stop, which ultimately pushed Wen Xin to her limits.

Geng Qiu lay on the ground, glaring at Wen Xin hatefully, unable to understand why Wen Xin always seemed to hold herself so high above everyone else.

Even in the Geng family, she had deliberately made the servants bully her, purposely damaged her phone and computer, starved her, feigned illness to make her give blood transfusions, and done many things intentionally, yet none of these had diminished Wen Xin’s pride.

She had seen Wen Xin at her most destitute, a pitiful figure clinging to a single breath, yet for some reason, she had managed to survive…

It was because Wen Xin was like an indestructible Iron Man, always proud, never submissive, and never learning to be humble. That’s why she had only one thought—to break Wen Xin’s spirit.

Yet, to her surprise, the person still standing was Wen Xin, while she… was in a pitiful and broken state.

“You… why? Why do all the advantages always go to you? You’re just a country girl, someone who came from the poor backwoods. Why do you get to live so well, with everyone favoring you? Why!”

“It must be because you stole my luck, just because we are both daughters of my mother, and because you were born before me…”

Geng Qiu lay there, her chest heaving violently, her mouth full of blood, her words intermittent as if she might stop breathing at any moment.

Seeing Geng Qiu like this, her face twisted in jealousy, Wen Xin felt a moment of pity for her, but that small feeling couldn’t cover up the disgusting things she had done. Wen Xin wouldn’t be soft-hearted because of it.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“You’re wrong, I’m not Su Li’s daughter at all… Su Li knows this too…”

Wen Xin walked over to Geng Qiu, slowly squatting down, her hand propped on her knee, looking down arrogantly at Geng Qiu who was extremely surprised by her words.

“You… how is that possible? Mom wouldn’t lie to me. When Mom brought you home, she told Dad and Grandma that you were her daughter, just that your father was too despicable, and my mother didn’t want to acknowledge her marriage to him!”

Geng Qiu looked at Wen Xin agitatedly; she disliked being looked down upon like this. She tried to rise from the ground, but the kick she had received from Xiao Mi was too painful, making it impossible for her to get up, so she helplessly lay back down.

Wen Xin looked at Geng Qiu’s actions and scoffed sarcastically, her eyes filled with scorn.

“Father despicable? You dare to call the primary researcher of the Capital Physics Research Institute despicable? That’s truly laughable. You should know, if Uncle Tan were alive, not just the Geng family, even the Zhao family of Ice City wouldn’t dare to say no to him!”

“Geng Qiu, do you know why I’ve been willing to forgive you over and over? It’s because Su Li has something left by Uncle Tan, which is why I was willing to give her a chance, but in the end, she didn’t know how to cherish it.”

Wen Xin looked at Geng Qiu with sympathy. In fact, Su Li could have used what she had to provide a bright future for Geng Qiu, but alas, they just didn’t know how to cherish what they had, and they ended up like this…

It’s just their own fault.

“I don’t understand what you’re talking about, and I don’t know any Uncle Tan. I don’t believe my mom would owe us anything. She said that what she brought back was her daughter, merely to provide a tool for a liver transplant. I don’t believe a word you’re saying—I don’t want to hear it!”
