Chapter 2

Leaving Without Reluctance

“Qiu Qiu, Shikui, we’re back! The snow outside is so heavy. Granny and I went to the Zhao family place for a while and then came back…”

At this moment, Su Li walked in with the old madam of the Geng family. She took the towel from the butler and brushed the snow off the old madam’s body. Her voice was filled with excitement.

Su Li poured a cup of hot tea for the elderly lady, then looked up to see Wen Xin standing in the living room wearing a pure white down jacket. She hadn’t even changed her shoes, standing directly on the expensive carpet.

Her excitement was replaced by anger. She walked angrily to Wen Xin’s side and pushed her hard. “How many times have I told you to change your shoes first when you get home? When will you be able to correct the bad habits you developed in the countryside? Can’t you be like your sister and act like a lady from a noble family?”

“Mom, don’t be mad at my sister. You and Grandma went to the Zhao family… How did things go at the Zhao family?” Geng Qiu walked over to Su Li’s side, linked arms with her, rested her head on Su Li’s shoulder, and acted coquettishly towards her.

Her long eyelashes fluttered like a fan, and her delicate little face was filled with the shyness of a little girl, like a delicate flower.

She knew why Su Li and Old Madam Geng had gone to the Zhao Family. Geng Qiu was more concerned about the outcome, so she was no longer in the mood to care about Wen Xin’s matters.

Su Li forcefully pushed and shoved Wen Xin to the staircase, her face devoid of any extra expression. In her heart, Wen Xin understood just how much Su Li struggled and wrestled with the decision to let her stay in this household.

Su Li could tolerate her existence because her precious daughter’s life required her liver. That was all there was to it.

Seeing how intimate the mother and daughter pair were, Wen Xin rolled her eyes without batting an eyelid. She wondered if Su Li would have treated Geng Qiu so well if it wasn’t for her status as the eldest daughter of the Geng family.

Wen Xin’s attitude was nonchalant, her whole demeanor lazy as she leaned against the handrail of the staircase. One leg was slightly bent, giving her a sophisticated yet untouchable appearance.

She looked coldly at the people in the living room. This matter was more or less related to her. She hated trouble, so she wanted to hear how the matter was resolved.

Turning to the matter of the Zhao Family, Su Li sighed awkwardly and pulled Geng Qiu aside to sit on the sofa.” Qiu Qiu, you know that the Zhao Family is run by Old Madam Zhao. Although Old Madam Zhao disagreed, she insisted on letting your sister…”

As Su Li spoke, she could not help but glance at Wen Xin, who was standing lazily at the staircase. Her eyes were filled with resentment.

“Mom! I’m the eldest daughter of the Geng family. Who is she? What right does she have to use the identity of the eldest daughter of the Geng family to marry into the Zhao family?”

“Alright, you’re the eldest daughter of the Geng family. How can outsiders look at you like this?”

Seeing Geng Qiu throwing a tantrum, Old Madam Geng spoke up to stop her.” I thought about it a lot when I came back. Old Madam Zhao has clearly misunderstood Wen Xin’s identity. Tomorrow, get your father to make an announcement that Wen Xin has nothing to do with the Geng family. You are the only eldest daughter of the Geng family! Not everyone is worthy of being the eldest daughter of the Geng family!”

After Old Madam Geng finished speaking, she cast a meaningful glance at Wen Xin, who was standing in the distance without a proper expression.

“Wen Xin, the Geng family has treated you well. Although you were brought back by your mother, your uncle has never mistreated you…”

Having obtained a satisfactory result, Wen Xin was in a rare good mood, and a smile appeared on his cold face.

“I will leave the Geng family today!”

With that, Wen Xin turned around and went upstairs to her room to pack up the things she had brought.
