“You are now my wife in name. If the Bai family wants to hurt you, you can fight back.”

“Fight back…?”

“Yes, because the only person who can bully you is me.”

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 Qiangwei’s eyes, a woman like Wan Xiaosu should live in squalor.

To her, she was a dirty country bumpkin.

“Young Master Qin, no matter what, I am Wan Xiaosu’s biological mother. Aren’t you going a little too far?” Madam Bai felt like they were all uneducated. She still felt like she was in the right.

However, the words “a little too far” sounded harsh to Qin Fu.

Was this too much?

“Too far, Madam Bai? Compared to your inhumane behavior, I’m behaving like a saint. If you want me to behave myself, that’s fine too. Please allow Bai Qiangwei to pay with her life then.”

“You…” 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. “It was an accident. Young Master Qin, only the butler died. Why can’t you let it go?”

“Then why didn’t 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.”

Qin Fu picked Wan Xiaosu up and left without turning back.

Bai Qiangwei stomped her foot angrily. “Mom, look at how arrogant Qin Fu is. Now that Wan Xiaosu has someone to rely on, he thinks he can treat us badly.”

“How 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.” 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.

“Mom, I’m so happy to be your daughter.” Bai Qiangwei happily grabbed Madam Bai’s hand. Madam Bai looked at Bai Qiangwei with a tender and motherly expression.

At this moment, Wan Xiaosu was in Qin Fu’s 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. “Wan 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?”

“Yes.” She had always known that the Bai residence was not her home. “Young Master Qin, can you let me go home for a little while? I want to see Grandma…”

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 Xiaosu’s chin with his slender fingers.

He pinched her hard. “Why? Why should I bring you to your grandmother when my grandmother is lying in the hospital?”

“I’m sorry…” 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. “Young Master Qin, I just want to check on her. When I come back, you can punish me however you want. Please.”

Qin Fu looked at Wan Xiaosu’s 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. “You’re not allowed to cry!”

“I…”

“Hmm?” Qin Fu put his finger over her lips. Wan Xiaosu swallowed her words.

Seeing that she had quieted down, he said, “Remember, 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?”

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.

“Young madam, have some!” 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.

“Eat 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 she’s not here, I’ll do my best to make sure nothing bad happens to you!” 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.

“Thank you…Thank you, madam!”

“Just call me Mrs. Landis. Young madam, don’t blame the young master. He’s just anxious. He’ll be fine in a little while.” Mrs. Landis couldn’t 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 Xiaosu’s abdomen gradually started to hurt. It was so painful that she curled into a fetal position.

“Ah…” Her forehead was covered in sweat. It was agonizing.

“Wan Xiaosu!”

In a daze, she looked up at Qin Fu, the man who hated her the most.

She stretched out her hand and frowned. “Qin Fu… Save me…”

She did not know that her fair hands were covered in blood.

Qin Fu was shocked. He picked her up and said, “Wan Xiaosu, who gave you food? Did you eat it all? Are you out of your mind?”

“It hurts…” Wan Xiaosu was in so much pain that she was barely conscious. All she knew was the agony.

‘Grandma…’

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.

“Wan Xiaosu, if you dare to fall asleep, I won’t let you off! Even if I have to chase you to the underworld. I won’t let you off!”

“Qin Fu…” This man was acting more domineering than usual.

That overbearing voice did not stop, “Wan Xiaosu, your sins have not been forgiven. Don’t you dare close your eyes!”
