“What are you doing, Qin Fu? You’re handing the fate of the Qin family to a stranger? Don’t forget that she’s from the Bai family. She’s the murderer who harmed your grandmother.”

Zhao Min pointed at Wan Xiaosu and berated her. She was just short of swearing.

Wan Xiaosu had always been an outsider. She always had been!

Wan Xiaosu was lost in thought. There was no light in her eyes. She was like an empty shell.

Only her body remained.

“Wan Xiaosu is indeed from the Bai family, but she is also a member of the Qin family. What about you then, Auntie?” Qin Fu’s casual words shocked Zhao Min so much that she subconsciously backed away.

Qin Fu saw that Zhao Min was shaken and knew that she was smart enough to understand the logic behind his comment.

Wan Xiaosu married into the Qin family, but so did Zhao Min.

“Qin Fu… You’ll let this country bumpkin drive a wedge between us?” Zhao Min trembled in disbelief.

Qin Fu raised his eyebrows. “That’s not impossible. ”

“She…”

“Even if she was sent here to be punished, only I can make sure of that. The rest of you should mind yourselves.” Qin Fu pulled Wan Xiaosu upstairs.

Zhao Min sat on the sofa. Qin Fu’s words were clearly a warning to her.

He was warning her to stay away from Wan Xiaosu.

Was Wan Xiaosu, a country bumpkin, worthy of him?

She was not. Zhao Min had to think of a way to get Wan Xiaosu out of there because she had already noticed that Wan Xiaosu could threaten her position in the Qin Family.

Qin Fu dragged Wan Xiaosu into the room. She was still expressionless.

Qin Fu pinched her face. “Wan Xiaosu, look at me.”

Wan Xiaosu kept struggling. She was trying to break free from Qin Fu’s grip. He was hurting her.

He was disgusted.

“Wan Xiaosu, if you don’t want to be played, you’d better not appear so weak.” Qin Fu had never liked weak girls. He felt uncomfortable when he noticed that Wan Xiaosu was giving up on herself.

Wan Xiaosu frowned and found that funny. “Young Master Qin, is this your version of charity?”

“What did you say?” Qin Fu looked at Wan Xiaosu and could not help but frown.

Charity?

Wan Xiaosu sounded a little sarcastic. She thought he was giving her charity?

Wan Xiaosu relaxed her brows and smiled poignantly. “Yeah! Young Master Qin, is this your way of giving me charity? You appear to be protecting me. It’s disgusting. If you want to punish me, then punish me. Why do you have to torture me like this?”

Qin Fu pursed his lips and didn’t say anything. He just looked at her silently.

Tears fell from the corner of her eyes onto the back of his hand. Her tears were very warm. She kept speaking.

“I’ve never received parental love, not even when I was young. I only received endless beatings and scolding. I got belittled, humiliated, and bullied for being a girl.”

“In the past, I thought that my parents just preferred boys over girls. Fortunately, Grandma protected me, loved me, and taught me how to be a good person. My life was actually all right. My grandma was enough.”

“Later, Grandma got into a car accident. I couldn’t afford her medical bills. I could only beg my parents, but they were so cold that they were unwilling to pay for her treatment. Only when the Bai family approached us did I find out that I wasn’t my parents’ biological daughter. Perhaps…They already knew.”

“As you can see, I didn’t marry you because I wanted to. I just want Grandma to be safe, but… now she’s gone too! So why are you protecting me? Why do you want me to be brave? Everything I want is gone!”

“It’s all gone!”

Wan Xiaosu cried out. No one else would treat her well again. No one would care about how she felt.

Her grandmother, the one person in this world who loved her, had passed away.

At that moment, Qin Fu didn’t know how to comfort her. He just looked at her silently.

She did not know how long she spent crying, but eventually, Wan Xiaosu fell asleep on Qin Fu’s shoulder.

She looked peaceful when she was asleep.

Qin Fu carefully placed her on the bed and put the blanket over her. Perhaps her grandmother’s car accident was not a coincidence!

How could it be possible? It was too coincidental! Plus, it happened at the same time.

He picked up his phone and dialed Song Lianming’s number. “Ask Laowu to investigate Wan Xiaosu’s grandmother’s death.”

“Sure thing. That’s easy. Brother, are you sure you don’t have feelings for Wan Xiaosu? You’re clearly very concerned about her, maybe even too concerned!” Song Lianming teased him over the phone.

Qin Fu hung up the phone impatiently. He looked at Wan Xiaosu where she lay and massaged his temples.

What a weak woman…

That night, Wan Xiaosu had a dream. She dreamed of her grandmother.

Grandma told her that Qin Fu was the only person in the world who could protect her.

When she woke up, she realized that it was just a dream.

A maid dressed in white walked in and handed Wan Xiaosu clean clothes.

“Young madam, this is your set of clothes. Young master prepared it for you before he left. Rest assured that it’s safe.” The servant’s face was cold, and there was no sign of respect.

Wan Xiaosu got out of bed and avoided the servants. She walked around barefoot without even looking at them.

It was as if they had not been talking to her.

The servant followed her and continued, “Young madam, if you don’t wear it, I’m afraid young master will be unhappy. Have you forgotten that he had someone drug you in the dark room?”

She was drugged?

This new information got Wan Xiaosu’s attention. “What do you mean?”

The servant looked around to make sure no one else was here. Then she said, “Young master asked someone to poison your food. He wanted to teach you a lesson. He wanted to show you that he could use you to deal with the Bai family’s transgressions. I’m sure you’re well aware of the feud between the Bai family and the Qin family.”

So it was like this…

Wan Xiaosu knew it…

The man had his own child aborted. How kind could he be?

“Young madam, you’d better listen to young master! Otherwise, you’ll be the one who suffers.” The servant handed the clothes to Wan Xiaosu.

Wan Xiaosu touched the set of clothes lightly. “Okay! I’ll wear it. Young Master Qin likes to control people so much. If I don’t let him have his way, I’m afraid he won’t let me off so easily.”

“Madam, let me help you!”

“Thank you.”

Wan Xiaosu did not notice that this was another trap. The servant wore a sinister gaze now that her back was turned.

She changed into the pink spaghetti strap dress which made her look very delicate.

When she went downstairs, she ran into Qin Ya.

A trace of disbelief flashed past Qin Ya’s eyes, but she looked entertained. “This dress fits you so well. It looks good on you. ”

Wan Xiaosu did not respond; she just walked past her.

Seeing that Wan Xiaosu was ignoring her, Qin Ya rushed in front of her and blocked her way. “Wan Xiaosu, don’t you have manners? You should be honored that I came to find you. Don’t be ungrateful!”
