Xu Wan did not hear the rest of her aunt’s words. She tugged at her and asked in disbelief, “What did you just say? What did you mean by ‘adopted’?”

Her aunt sneered and shoved Xu Wan away. “I don’t know where you came from. You’re not even your parents’ child. Your dad was the one who picked you up from the roadside. You had a high fever back then. They were fools. They spent all their savings to treat your illness, then they painstakingly brought you up. Unfortunately, you’re a jinx. Not only did your biological parents not want you, you also jinxed your foster parents…”

Xu Wan’s face turned bloodless as she fell back. “Impossible, impossible! I don’t believe you. You’re lying to me!”

“Lying to you?” Her aunt scoffed. “Look at how similar you were to the two of them. You don’t even have any blood relations with them! Back then, they begged us not to tell you about your true identity. They were afraid that you would be upset and feel inferior if you found out that they adopted you. Now, it seems like there’s really no need for that. After all, you don’t have any sense of shame or conscience. Why would you mind these things?”

Her aunt’s mouth opened and closed, but Xu Wan felt dizzy from the ringing in her ears. She couldn’t bear to listen to her words.

She did not believe it.

How was that possible?

How could she have been adopted?

Her parents clearly loved her a lot, and her family was so warm…

Xu Wan was beside herself and trudged along the street until Judy pulled her back. Only then did she come to.

“Miss, why did you run about? I couldn’t find you when I went back. I was panic-stricken. What happened to you? Why do you look so horrible? Are you feeling unwell?” The sight of Xu Wan’s ghastly face shocked Judy. She quickly hailed a cab to send Xu Wan home.

When she reached home, Xu Wan locked herself in her room and did not come out. She did not talk to anyone or eat.

Judy was horror-struck. She was at a loss and tried to persuade Xu Wan for quite a while, but she received no response.

Judy guessed that Xu Wan had experienced some trauma.

Would she self-harm?

The terrified Judy frantically called Qiao Chen.

After Qiao Chen received news about Xu Wan’s suddenly going insane that afternoon, his tone became icier. “Tell me clearly, what exactly happened?”

“Third Master, I don’t know either. By the time I saw Miss, she was already like this. After I sent her home, she locked herself up and ignored everyone. Until now, she hasn’t taken a single bite of food. I’m afraid that she might… might…”

Judy didn’t dare to continue, but Qiao Chen’s expression had already changed.

After hanging up, Qiao Chen immediately stood up, took his jacket, and walked out.

“Boss Qiao, you still have two more meetings…” The secretary followed behind Qiao Chen in a flustered manner.

“We’ll talk about it tomorrow!” Qiao Chen ordered coldly, his tone slightly murderous. The secretary was so petrified that she didn’t dare say a word.

Qiao Chen rushed back home as fast as he could. As soon as he reached home, he realized the situation was exactly as Judy had said. Xu Wan’s door was locked and could not be opened at all.

“Xu Wan!” Qiao Chen slammed the door aggressively. “Are you crazy? Come out here!”

Qiao Chen suddenly felt fear creep through his heart.

Would anything happen to Xu Wan?

He did not dare to think further and knocked on the door desperately.

But there was no response.

“Master Qiao, what should we do!” Judy was so anxious that she broke into tears.

The doors in Qiao Chen’s house were specially made and were hard to break open. Therefore, after Qiao Chen calmed down, he pondered for a while, then got up and went downstairs to get a roll of hemp rope from the storeroom.

Qiao Chen then went up to the third floor and entered a room. He walked to the edge of the window and fixed one end of the rope there.

Then, Qiao Chen climbed onto the window ledge, grabbed the loose end of the rope, and leaned out.

Judy watched from the door, her heart beating violently. Qiao Chen had such noble status, how could he do such a dangerous thing!

“Master Qiao, be careful!” Judy’s voice trembled.

Qiao Chen pursed his thin lips and stuck his body out of the window. The chilly wind messed up his hair. He grabbed the rope with one hand and the window ledge with the other. After he got the hang of maintaining his balance, he started rappelling down.

Xu Wan’s room was below this room.

Qiao Chen slowly rappelled to Xu Wan’s window. However, the window was closed and the lights inside were switched off, so he could not see clearly.

Qiao Chen’s heart was racing, not because he was afraid of the height.

He was afraid that something would happen to her.

“Xu Wan!” Qiao Chen shouted.

Xu Wan was in a daze when she heard a shout.

Qiao Chen… Is that you?

Suddenly, the glass window shattered. After hearing the ear-piercing sound of the glass shards falling onto the ground, Qiao Chen jumped through the window to the floor of Xu Wan’s room.

The woman lying on the bed did not move. Qiao Chen felt breathless. He hurried to the bedside and suddenly carried Xu Wan..
