"Don't be nervous. Everything will be fine soon."
Song Lianming's gentle and delicate voice sounded. Wan Xiaosu's vigilant gaze made him subconsciously pull away.
She clearly didn't trust him.
"Don't worry. I'm Young Master Qin's friend. I won't hurt you."
"You're all in cahoots. Why are you doing this to me?" Wan Xiaosu's big tears fell as she looked at Song Lianming with anguish.
Song Lianming sighed helplessly. It seemed that his friend had a long way to go when it came to wooing his wife.
In Wan Xiaosu's eyes, they were all the same. They killed her child.
"Wan Xiaosu, don't be so emotional. You're not doing well physically. You should focus on your recovery! You're so young."
"But… My child is gone." At that moment, her heart broke into pieces. She hugged her knees and bowed her head to cry.
Song Lianming could not help but shake his head. He turned and left. She'd understand in time...
Ever since she lost her child, Wan Xiaosu's expression had been completely blank. The only person she wanted to see was her grandmother.
After leaving the hospital, she hailed a taxi back to the Bai residence.
The dark clouds outside the car window reflected how she felt.
When she entered, she saw Bai Qiangwei and Madam Bai sitting in the courtyard drinking tea. Bai Qiangwei's face did not show the slightest bit of shame for colliding with the car that day.
Wan Xiaosu bit her lip. The bandage on her forehead was a stark contrast to how Bai Qiangwei looked now.
Madam Bai's expression darkened the moment she entered the room. "Why are you here?"
"Why can't I? How's my grandmother? I promised you that I'd join the Qin family and I did. Shouldn't you fulfill your promise?" Wan Xiaosu only wanted her grandmother to be okay.
Bai Qiangwei weighed her arrogance and could not help but get angry when she mentioned the Qin family.
If it wasn't for the Qin family, she wouldn't have had to suffer. Nothing good came from dealing with the Qin family.
"Wan Xiaosu, you still have the cheek to mention the Qin family? You didn't help us get anywhere with them. What right do you have to ask the Bai family to help you take care of some stranger?" Bai Qiangwei looked high and mighty. She seemed disgusted.
The word "stranger" made Wan Xiaosu give up on suppressing her emotions. At that moment, she did not want to endure it anymore.
Slap! Slap! Slap!
She went up and slapped Bai Qiangwei three times in a row, stunning her.
Madam Bai didn't even have time to react.
Wan Xiaosu grabbed her wrist and kept going. "Are you even human? She's your biological grandmother, and her blood flows in your veins. How dare you say that she's a stranger? Where did your nine years of compulsory education go?"
"Do you think that you can cut ties with me just because you've changed your identity and family?"
"Impossible, it's never possible. All of this was stolen from me!"
Bai Qiangwei could not help but tremble. Wan Xiaosu had destroyed the last trace of pride she had.
How could a country bumpkin say that she stole her life?
Bai Qiangwei shook off Wan Xiaosu's hand forcefully. Wan Xiaosu almost lost her balance, and Madam Bai pushed her away.
Wan Xiaosu fell to the ground.
Madam Bai examined Bai Qiangwei worriedly. "Weiwei, are you alright? Let Mommy take a look. Did she leave a mark on your face?"
"Mom, will you abandon me because I'm not your biological daughter?" Bai Qiangwei stared at Madam Bai worriedly. Ever since she found out that she was not her biological daughter, she had been very afraid.
Madam Bai shook her head. "No, I will never leave you. You are my only daughter. "
Watching this hurt Wan Xiaosu deeply.
The woman in front of her was her biological mother, but she was worried about someone else. How could she not care about her biological daughter?
Maybe... It was like this from the beginning...
She was just someone they used for the marriage.
"I just want to know how my grandmother is doing. Tell me!" Wan Xiaosu cried. She did not want to be part of their family. She only wanted her grandmother.
However, who would have thought that Madam Bai's next cold words would send Wan Xiaosu over the edge? "Your grandmother died before you were sent to the Qin residence."
She felt like she had been struck by lightning.
Wan Xiaosu's jaw dropped, and she looked at Madam Bai in disbelief.
Bai Qiangwei rubbed her face and said sinisterly, "She was in such a serious car accident. You can't possibly expect a woman over fifty years of age to come back alive, right?"
"No, no, no. No…" Impossible. How could her grandma leave her? Grandma had promised her.
She would definitely live to see her get married, have children, and have a happy family.
Grandma... How could her grandma have left just like that?
As she watched the pain ripple across Wan Xiaosu's face, Bai Qiangwei suddenly felt better. Her cheek no longer hurt.
Because Wan Xiaosu was in even more pain…
Suddenly, someone draped something over Wan Xiaosu's shoulders and pulled her into an embrace. She looked up and met Qin Fu's eyes.
At this moment, she actually felt that the man who had aborted her child was more humane than the Bai family.
Panic flashed across Madam Bai and Bai Qiangwei's faces.
"Since you all sent Wan Xiaosu to my family so she could atone for her sins, then her life is in our hands. Do you want to offend the Qin family? Or do you want to send Miss Bai to pay with her life?" Qin Fu's sharp gaze swept over Bai Qiangwei.
Bai Qiangwei was the reason for the butler's death. She should have been punished.
However, someone had stopped him from making sure she got punished.
Otherwise…
Bai Qiangwei subconsciously hid behind Madam Bai.
Madam Bai protected Bai Qiangwei, treating her like her biological daughter. "Young Master Qin, it was an accident. Please don't keep hurting my daughter."
Please?
Accident?
The corners of Qin Fu's lips curled up slightly, revealing an unfathomable smile. "Madam Bai, who exactly is your daughter? As far as I know, Bai Qiangwei is just a country bumpkin. The person you sent to atone for her sins is your biological daughter, Wan Xiaosu, right?"
Bai Qiangwei could not help but clench her fists. Why did they have to step on her?
It was all because of Wan Xiaosu…
'D*mn Wan Xiaosu. Why can't she just die?'
Madam Bai held Bai Qiangwei's hand and comforted her. "Both our hands have flesh and bone. I raised Weiwei since she was young, so I obviously consider her my daughter. Wan Xiaosu is my biological daughter. She should understand where I'm coming from and be considerate."
His biological daughter…
Be considerate…
As she heard Madam Bai's words, Wan Xiaosu only felt heartache. It hurt so much…
Perhaps she was born to be ostracized. At this moment, Qin Fu's voice sounded above her head. "Madam Bai, you're really self-righteous. Those who don't know better would think that Wan Xiaosu was picked off the streets. Really, her life was stolen from her. In the end, the person who stole her life sent her to another family to be punished. She really should be considerate!"
"Young Master Qin…"
