“I’m afraid that won’t do. Wouldn’t I get in trouble?”

“Young Master Song, I know you’re a good person.”

Wan Xiaosu saw him as a last resort. This might be her last chance.

Song Lianming saw how eager she was to leave and felt angry for Qin Fu. He had sacrificed a lot for Wan Xiaosu, and she had no idea.

She didn’t know anything about it and that made him feel sad. “Sister-in-law, I care more for Qin Fu than you think. Besides, life in the Qin residence isn’t that bad.”

“Young Master Song… I’m begging you.” Wan Xiaosu tightened her grip on his sleeve, tears streaming down her face. “I just want to see my grandmother, even if the unimaginable has happened. If not, then I need to know that Zhou Wei is safe. He suffered because of me. He shouldn’t have been hurt in the first place.”

Zhou Wei?

Song Lianming raised his eyebrows. This must be the man Qin Fu was afraid of!

“It seems that you still don’t understand men. A man’s possessive instinct is very strong. If you mention another man before your husband, things won’t go well.” This was a friendly reminder.

Wan Xiaosu’s hope was shattered once again. She bit her lip and took a few steps back.

She knew very well that Song Lianming would not help her.

Staying in the Qin residence wasn’t that bad?

But … The person who wanted her dead was Qin Fu.

After Song Lianming finished examining Wan Xiaosu, he realized that the stress was affecting her pregnancy.

He looked at the report and was a little worried. “Sister-in-law, you must take good care of yourself during this period of time.”

“It doesn’t matter. Will anyone care?” Wan Xiaosu closed her eyes. Nothing worked out for the people she cared about.

Grandma might be dead.

The same went for Zhou Wei.

Song Lianming felt a little melancholic as he looked at the dejectedWan Xiaosu. As an outsider, it was not good for him to interfere in other people’s family matters.

He gave Wan Xiaosu some injections to protect her fetus.

When they returned, Song Lianming looked at Qin Fu and sighed. “Brother, you’re not really planning to kill Wan Xiaosu, are you? I think she’s deeply misunderstood you. If this continues, I don’t think things will end well.”

Qin Fu picked up the report and frowned. “Is the situation that serious?”

Song Lianming explained the early stages of pregnancy to him since he clearly knew very little about them.

He had made notes of the important information. Every aspect was important because if they were not careful, she might have a miscarriage.

That was not a joke.

Qin Fu seemed to have realized that things were worse than he had thought. “Let’s hide it for now!”

“Brother, it clearly has nothing to do with you. Why are you taking the blame?” Song Lianming did not think that letting Wan Xiaosu know the truth was a bad thing.

However, Qin Fu had already made up his mind. “Wan Xiaosu hates me, so I’ll accept that! She can’t take much more. I don’t want to pile too much onto her plate.”

Seeing that Qin Fu had made up his mind, Song Lianming couldn’t say anything else.

Qin Fu was cold, but he was kind. He had always been like this.

Unbeknownst to him, Wan Xiaosu had received an invitation from Madam Bai. She wanted to meet her at a coffee shop.

She agreed.

She even arrived earlier than Madam Bai.

Slap!

A slap landed on Wan Xiaosu’s face and left no trace. Still, it was a hard slap.

The wound on her face had not completely healed, and now it was swollen again.

Wan Xiaosu was facing away from the force of the slap.

“Do you still have any humanity? That’s your adoptive mother, the person who raised you for more than ten years. How can you be so ruthless? Wan Xiaosu, why did I give birth to you?” Madam Bai was disgusted.

Wan Xiaosu was like a stain she couldn’t remove no matter how hard she tried.

Wan Xiaosu slowly raised her head, her expression blank. She just stared at Madam Bai in a daze.

Madam Bai looked at her. There was not a hint of love in her eyes. Instead, there was more disgust. “You’re disgusting! Wan Xiaosu!”

“Madam Bai, you called me here just to humiliate me?” Wan Xiaosu’s tone was very calm. It did not sound like she was speaking to her mother.

She was just a stranger to her, and she was only here for a formality.

Madam Bai’s heart sank. She had not expected this.

Wan Xiaosu…

“Madam, I’m very grateful that you gave birth to me and gave me life. But I never thought that these were reasons for you to belittle me. Really, Madam!” Other than giving her life, Madam Bai was nothing more than a stranger.

Bai Qiangwei was the daughter that she had taken care of for many years. She always treated her with the utmost care and consideration.

Sometimes, Bai Qiangwei’s perceived halo shone so brightly that it made Wan Xiaosu’s eyes hurt.

Everyone loved Bai Qiangwei, absolutely everyone.

“Wan Xiaosu, are you saying that I’ve let you down?” Madam Bai raised her chin, looking arrogant. She acted as if Wan Xiaosu had let her down.

Wan Xiaosu shook her head gently. “No, Madam. I’m grateful that you sent me to the Qin family in place of your daughter! I admire that you did something so against your conscience.”

“You…” Madam Bai raised her hand, but this time, she was stopped.

Wan Xiaosu clenched her fists tightly. This time, she would not let her do as she pleased.

She looked up at Madam Bai. At that moment, there was only endless disappointment in her eyes.

“Madam, do you know? Before, I simply thought that my parents valued boys over girls. After I found out that you were my mother, my nightmare began. You destroyed my hope.”

“My grandmother is the most important person to me. You said that as long as I marry Qin Fu, you will save her.”

“I believed you. Why did things end up like this? Madam Bai, isn’t your conscience suffering?”

Wan Xiaosu held tightly to Madam Bai’s hand and could not help but tremble. Her eyes were fixed on Madam Bai.

She kept berating Madam Bai.

How could the person who cared about her the most end up dead? Why?

Wan Xiaosu stared at Madam Bai with bloodshot eyes. Madam Bai started trembling. “Wan Xiaosu!”

“Madam! Was I not good enough? Tell me, why did you give birth to me and treat me like this? Who is your daughter? Me or Bai Qiangwei?” Wan Xiaosu gripped Madam Bai’s wrist tightly and questioned her loudly.

Who exactly was Madam Bai’s real daughter?

Why did she have to give up her life?

It should be her!
