Three-and-a-half-year-old little girl, also known as Ann, lived a life of scarcity and hardship in an orphanage, where even a single steamed bun could lead to beatings and scoldings from the headma...
Qin Niexun reached out and gently pinched his sister Ann’s arm.
Her arm was slender and soft, with hardly any flesh, let alone muscles.
Ann’s strength was incredibly unreasonable.
The strength of a three-and-a-half-year-old child couldn’t possibly be strong enough to knock down someone much taller, bigger, and heavier than her.
Qin Niexun took the wall target from his fifth brother’s hand and stood in front of Ann.
"Ann, come, hit it."
Even though he had witnessed it with his own eyes, he still wanted to personally verify it.
Qin Sui’an raised her hand and pushed the helmet on her head, puzzled as to why her brothers were lining up for her to hit the wall target.
Although she couldn’t figure it out for the moment, she obediently nodded her little head.
"Okay."
Qin Niexun was mentally prepared, firmly holding the wall target in his hand, slightly lowering his body, and stabilizing his stance.
"Come on, Ann."
Qin Sui’an jumped in place again, focusing her attention and launching a punch with her tiny fist.
With a "bang", Qin Niexun forcefully caught the recoil of this punch, his body trembling slightly.
Fortunately, he was prepared in advance; otherwise, he might have been sent flying like his fifth brother.
Indeed, Ann’s strength was almost comparable to the members of their Criminal Investigation Brigade.
She was truly a rare talent.
Qin Niexun’s eyes sparkled.
"Ann, if you’re interested in criminal investigation..."
"Fourth Brother, Ann is still young," Qin Fujia coldly glanced over, interrupting his words.
Qin Niexun immediately swallowed the rest of his words, so as not to be chased away by his Eldest Brother.
Qin Qianyi wasted no time, putting the wall target aside and taking Ann to punch the sandbag.
The sandbag had more weight, allowing them to strike it from different angles, and Qin Qianyi’s sandbag had human organ drawings on it.
He taught Ann where to exert force and where to be careful, so as not to accidentally hurt someone.
Qin Sui’an listened attentively, combining the movements and postures she had learned from her brothers’ competition earlier, and practiced them one by one on the sandbag.
Qin Qianyi and Qin Niexun dared not leave, each securing one side of the sandbag to prevent it from rebounding and injuring Ann.
The others focused intently on watching Ann practice boxing, occasionally applauding and praising, "Ann, that punch was amazing!"
After nearly an hour of training, the siblings finally finished their boxing practice.
Qin Sui’an’s little face was flushed, her helmet removed, and her soft hair dampened with sweat.
She looked exhausted, but her round eyes were incredibly bright, and she smiled happily.
"It was fun."
Qin Qianyi collected her dedicated protective gear and indulgently said, "It was fun? Then we’ll play again next time."
Qin Fujia embraced Ann in his arms.
Qin Yanyi carefully inspected Ann’s hands and feet.
Qin Lvzheng took out a small handkerchief and wiped the sweat off Ann’s face.
Qin Niexun handed her a bottle, ensuring Ann timely replenished her energy.
The brothers worked together, fulfilling their dad’s instructions, and taking good care of Ann.
Returning to the living room on the first floor, they sat with Ann, relaxed, and watched cartoons.
**
Since being publicly thrown out by the Qin family’s bodyguards last night, Shao Xinxin had been feeling down, even skipping kindergarten.
Shen Shuwen carried a bowl of freshly cooked sweet soup and gently knocked on her daughter Xinxin’s tightly closed bedroom door.
"Xinxin, are you still sleeping?"
A faint response came from inside the room.
Shen Shuwen sighed and turned the doorknob, pushing the door open.
"Xinxin, have some sweet soup. You didn’t eat much for lunch, don’t let your stomach suffer."
Inside the room, the curtains were tightly drawn, leaving no trace of light.
Feeling her way in the dark, Shen Shuwen carefully walked to the bedside based on her memory and placed the sweet soup on the nightstand.
Then she turned around and opened the curtains.
When she turned back, she saw her precious daughter curled up in the blanket, with her head even buried in it.
Shen Shuwen looked at her with deep sympathy, sitting by the bedside and soothing her gently, "Xinxin, don’t be sad. What happened last night was not your fault. It was the Qin family’s unreasonable behavior, taking advantage of their numbers and bullying a young child like you."
When Shen Shuwen went to Bay Villa last night to pick up Xinxin, she saw her drenched from head to toe, her elegant and beautiful appearance completely ruined, resembling a destitute beggar.
At that moment, Shen Shuwen wanted to rush into the Qin family’s residence and demand justice for her daughter.
Unfortunately, they were unable to even enter the gate, blocked by the bodyguards.
Helplessly, they had to return to the Shao family first.
Upon arriving home, Shao Xinxin locked herself in her room and hasn’t stepped out since.
From this, it is evident that the Qin family has treated her precious daughter Xinxin with extreme cruelty!
It has even left her with psychological trauma!
The hatred in Shen Shuwen’s eyes gradually intensified.
"Xinxin, rest assured, Mother will definitely help you seek justice for the grievances you suffered last night!"
Shao Xinxin slowly emerged from under the covers.
Her face still bore traces of tears, her eyes swollen and pitiful, her voice hoarse.
"Mother..."
"Be good, Xinxin."
Shen Shuwen embraced her tenderly, gently patting her body.
"Don’t cry, don’t cry, okay?"
Shao Xinxin sobbed softly, leaning against her mother’s embrace.
"Mother, I hate Qin Sui’an!"
Shen Shuwen gritted her teeth.
"Mother hates her too! No one will like her! Such a young age, yet so scheming. She even dared to publicly let the bodyguards drive you away! They don’t regard the Shao family with any respect! The Qin family has no manners at all! They can’t even fulfill the most basic rules of hospitality, yet they still dare to host a banquet!"
"Mother, I’m sure everyone is mocking me. Many people saw what happened last night."
Shao Xinxin revealed a frightened expression, tears shimmering in her eyes.
"Mother, what am I going to do in the future?"
"Don’t be afraid, Xinxin. I have already ensured that the news is sealed. If anyone dares to spread this matter, I will make sure they regret it!"
Shen Shuwen initially wanted to find a paparazzo and expose the Qin family’s mistreatment of Xinxin in the newspapers, letting everyone see how excessive the Qin family’s children could be!
But then she thought about how much Xinxin cares about others’ opinions.
If this matter were to spread, it would have a negative impact on Xinxin as well.
She deeply regretted it now.
She should have sneaked into the Qin family’s banquet last night, at least to prevent them from bullying Xinxin.
"Xinxin, don’t be sad either. Your grandma and your daddy have already gone to the Qin family to demand an explanation."
When Old Madam Shao saw her beloved granddaughter happily setting off for the banquet but returning in such a pitiful state, she was also heartbroken.
She had been clamoring to go to the Qin family last night but was stopped.
In the morning, she heard that Qin Huo and Lan Jin had left and only returned to Bay Villa in the afternoon.
Old Madam Shao set off for the Qin family not long ago, accompanied by her son, Shao Yongkang.
Shen Shuwen glanced at the time.
"By now, they should have arrived at the Qin family."
