“Women from the countryside are promiscuous. Mom, how can you let such a woman marry Qin Fu?”

“That’s right! Grandma, I also heard that Wan Xiaosu has returned to the Bai house and that she even seduced the servants! How could you let a woman like that get pregnant with my cousin’s child?”

“Yes, yes, yes! Women in the countryside are so dirty and indecent. I heard that they like… they like to steal men!”

…

The butler said that he was going to take Wan Xiaosu to see the old madam, but when she reached the door, she was greeted with humiliation.

Those dirty words attacked Wan Xiaosu’s self-esteem. They were probably uttered because of how she looked.

She had always been bullied. However, she did not expect that such disputes would arise after marrying into the Qin family.

Their voices were very loud. It was as if they wanted everyone to hear them.

In the living room.

Wan Xiaosu saw a kind old man with white hair. A middle-aged woman and a young girl were seated next to him.

The butler explained to Wan Xiaosu that the middle-aged woman was Qin Fu’s older brother’s wife, Zhao Min.

Beside her was Qin Ya, Qin Fu’s cousin.

Wan Xiaosu had heard of Qin Ya. She was a big star and always appeared on television.

Wan Xiaosu’s best friend was also a fan of Qin Ya.

“Child, come and sit with me.” The old lady waved at her kindly.

Wan Xiaosu walked over, taking small steps. Just as she was about to sit down, Zhao Min clicked her tongue and said sarcastically, “If she were to sit on such an expensive sofa, it would probably need to be washed hundreds of times.”

“That’s right. Isn’t it obvious that you don’t deserve to sit on this sofa?” Qin Ya crossed her arms, looking high and mighty.

Wan Xiaosu understood.

The Qin family did not want her here either.

She smiled politely at the old lady. “Grandma, I’ll just stand.”

“Child, I’m sorry.” The old madam took her hand, looking heartbroken. She patted the back of her hand comfortingly.

Wan Xiaosu looked at the amiable Mrs. Qin and thought of her grandmother. She couldn’t help but feel sad.

“Grandma…” she said from the bottom of her heart, unable to stop herself.

Qin Ya did not bother to keep up the act after seeing Wan Xiaosu’s aggrieved expression. “What are you pretending for? Wan Xiaosu, we didn’t do anything to you, did we? You’re making it seem like we’re bullying you. You’re from the countryside. You’re really uneducated.”

“Enough! Xiaosu has just moved in, and it’s fine if you don’t wish her well, but you keep making sarcastic remarks. Are you looking down on her, or are you looking down on me?” Mrs. Qin slammed the table angrily.

Zhao Min quickly explained, “Mom, Yaya didn’t mean it that way. It’s just that Wan Xiaosu’s family background isn’t good. The countryside…”

“Shut up! Do you think I’m old and muddleheaded?” Mrs. Qin had also done her research beforehand. If she did not trust Wan Xiaosu, she would not have let Wan Xiaosu get pregnant with Qin Fu’s child.

Wan Xiaosu wrung her hands. At that moment, thousands of thoughts surged into her mind.

She really seemed like her grandmother…

“Mom, you’ll definitely regret this decision.” Zhao Min pulled Qin Ya away and glared at Wan Xiaosu before leaving.

After the mother and daughter left, the living room became much quieter.

Mrs. Qin held Wan Xiaosu’s hand and said guiltily, “You must be having a hard time, child. They’re not bad people. I hope you don’t hold a grudge.”

“I know, Grandma. Thank you for protecting me.” Wan Xiaosu was truly grateful.

She was the only one who was treating her with kindness.

Wan Xiaosu cherished it very much.

Mrs. Qin nodded in satisfaction. She reached toward her belly.

He caressed her belly gently. “Xiaosu! If you deliver a Qin family child, you can have anything you want.”

Wan Xiaosu couldn’t help but shiver. She seemed to understand what Old Madam Qin had done…

She wanted to make sure she stayed pregnant.

She walked out of the living room.

Slap!

She was caught off guard by the slap. Wan Xiaosu almost lost her balance. Qin Ya had slapped her.

Qin Ya had the air of a young miss. She crossed her arms and stared at her with disgust.

She sized her up from top to bottom.

“Little vixen, I don’t care how you won Grandma over. For however long you’re here, I’ll give you a hard time and hit you every time I see you.”

“Remember that. Do you hear me?”

“I’m talking to you. Little vixen… Ah-”

Before Qin Ya could finish, she screamed.

Wan Xiaosu had slapped her, and she was now tugging at Qin Ya’s hair.

Their insults made Wan Xiaosu’s eyes turn red. At that moment, she was done tolerating it.

“I’m not a vixen! I’m not! Apologize! Apologize to me!” Wan Xiaosu cried.

Qin Ya was in so much pain that she couldn’t open her eyes. She struggled and screamed, “Crazy, crazy-”

“Apologize! Apologize!” Wan Xiaosu’s hands were tightly clenched, and she was very agitated.

In the end, the butler broke up their fight.

Qin Ya trembled as she stared at Wan Xiaosu.

Wan Xiaosu sat on the ground and cried. Her aggrieved emotions had reached their peak.

After she calmed down, the butler sent her to Qin Fu’s room.

She looked at the butler expressionlessly and spoke slowly through pale lips. “Sir, am I really that terrible? Am I not welcome here?”

“Young madam, you’re wonderful. Please don’t let your imagination run wild.” The butler left.

She looked at Qin Fu and couldn’t hold it in any longer. She lay on the side of his bed and burst into tears.

She told him about her troubles and everything she had experienced over the years. She did not know that his fingers were moving throughout her story.

Wan Xiaosu had been living in the Qin residence for half a month now, and she now had some obvious symptoms of pregnancy.

Her stomach churned.

She kept vomiting.

A low and hoarse voice came from behind. “Who are you?”

Wan Xiaosu suddenly turned around and met Qin Fu’s gloomy eyes. His eagle-like gaze often inspired fear.

“You… Why are you awake…” Was he not a vegetable? What?

Why did he wake up?

Qin Fu found it ridiculous. Did this woman really hope that he wouldn’t wake up? “Get out!”

“I…” Wan Xiaosu wanted to explain, but Qin Fu suddenly fainted, falling forward.

Without thinking, she reached out to support Qin Fu.

She was very close to him and could see the pores on his delicate skin.

His nose was tall and straight, and his lips were thin. He smelled manly despite having been lying in bed for so long.

He smelled so good.

Old Madam Qin, who received the news, urged the butler to turn around. However, on the way back, an accident happened. A bright red Bentley lost control and crashed into them.

Bai Qiangwei did not have the chance to move out of the way and directly collided with it.

Bang!

The car’s hood was knocked off.

Blood flowed like a river in the car.

Bai Qiangwei’s fingers twitched…
