Chapter 40
How could Wen Xin not feel the malicious gazes directed at her from the crowd?
She turned her head and met Han Yuying's venomous eyes. Her gaze was calm and indifferent, as if it could pierce through Han Yuying's disguised beauty and expose her ugly and twisted soul.
With just one glance, Wen Xin looked away.
I wasn't scared, nor was I proud; I was simply indifferent.
Han Yuying was so indifferent that she seemed to be nothing more than a dirty rat hiding in a stinking ditch by the roadside, not worth even a second glance.
Such contemptuous disregard fueled Han Yuying's hatred, and her anger nearly destroyed her reason.
She knew she had already lost, and she knew she shouldn't provoke Wen Xin anymore, otherwise she would only lose more.
But she was unwilling to accept it!
How could a lowly commoner, who was once merely a puppet toy with and subject to her wanton bullying, suddenly rise above her and look down upon her from a superior position?
The more glamorous Wen Xin is, the more ridiculous Han Yuying seems!
She gritted her teeth, the malice surging in her eyes corroding her into a twisted monster.
"What's wrong?"
Madam Qin asked the somewhat absent-minded girl beside her in a gentle voice.
Wen Xin shook her head slightly and smiled indifferently, "No, I was just thinking about some fun things."
Madam Qin: "Hmm?"
Wen Xin tilted her head. "Madam, you said that once people get what they want, why should they still harbor resentment?"
Madam Qin raised an eyebrow, glancing indifferently at Madam Li and Han Yuying, understanding the situation.
She curled her lips into a smile, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. "Probably greed and stupidity!"
Wen Xin chuckled in agreement, not taking Han Yuying's malice to heart.
At this moment, Young Master Qin, whose girlfriend had been stolen, came over with a dark face and said coldly to Madam Qin, "She has just recovered and cannot be overworked. I will take her to rest first."
Madam Qin didn't give her unfilial son a kind look either, but thinking of how the little girl had been weak and bedridden for several days, she was worried that she might be exhausted, so she didn't object. "Take good care of her, and don't let anyone who doesn't know better bully her."
"Do you need to tell me?"
After Qin Zhan retorted rudely, he pulled Wen Xin away.
Madam Qin: "..."
This unfilial son should be sent back for a second round of re-education!
"I have long admired Madam Qin and I am very happy to finally meet you today."
Seeing Wen Xin being taken away by Qin Zhan, Madam Qin's expression was not very good. Han Yuying's eyes flickered, and she immediately went over to prepare to cause trouble.
In her view, Madam Qin was unhappy that her son was so close to Wen Xin.
Well, how should I put it?
The formula is correct, but the result is the opposite!
Upon hearing this, Madam Qin looked at Han Yuying with an elegant smile on her face, but her gaze was exceptionally sharp.
Having been immersed in the business world for many years, what kind of people hasn't she seen?
Han Yuying, with such a low skill level, dares to play against her?
Her tone was polite, but what she said...
"Miss Han, you flatter me. I have heard of your reputation."
Han Yuying has no achievements to speak of, except for her brainlessness in abandoning the luxurious life in China and eloping with a foreigner to a place overseas where the moon is brighter... This matter has caused quite a stir in the elite circles.
Han Yuying's face immediately froze like a stone.
Madam Qin said slowly, "I heard that Miss Han is getting married soon. Congratulations! However, Miss Han's taste in relationships is always so peculiar."
They either elope or become the other woman—isn't that strange?
"Xiaoxin is my most valued heir. Anyone who dares to insult her is slapping me in the face. Miss Han should keep her underhanded thoughts and methods to herself, lest she continue to embarrass herself."
After speaking, Madam Qin ignored Han Yuying's expression, her cold gaze sweeping over Madam Li and Li Qingchen before turning around to exchange pleasantries with the other noble ladies, showing no politeness whatsoever in their faces.
The three members of the Li family looked extremely pleased.
Others didn't hold back in laughing at them.
Anyone who still hasn't figured out that Madam Qin invited the Li family to avenge Wen Xin is a fool.
They had long heard that Madam Qin treated Wen Xin like her own daughter, even better than her own son, and today they witnessed it firsthand.
That's right, the Li family has become a laughing stock yet again.
Unable to bear the mocking looks, the three of them could only slink away.
Of course, their misfortune wasn't over yet. After returning to the Li family home, Chairman Li slapped Madam Li across the face again and then beat Li Qingchen half to death with a golf club.
This stupid mother and son have completely disgraced the Li family!
Li Nan leisurely added fuel to the fire, and Chairman Li, in a fit of anger, directly suspended their cards, forbidding them from going out and making a fool of themselves again.
If it weren't for the numerous business collaborations between the Li family and Madam Li's family, Chairman Li would have considered simply getting a divorce.
Madam Li was filled with grief and indignation, crying and making a scene. However, her husband's heart was as cold as ice. He didn't even glance at her and went straight to his mistress.
Madam Li could only hold her son and cry even more heartbreakingly.
Although Han Yuying wasn't beaten, she was scolded by her father and given the cold shoulder by other family members, making her life increasingly difficult.
Qin Zhan was indifferent to this.
Ah Xin wouldn't let him kill Li Qingchen, but he had plenty of ways to make them wish they were dead.
He prepared so many "gifts" just to slowly "thank" them for their "care" of Ah Xin over the past two years!
I hope they will like it.
"Brother, have some grapes."
Wen Xin stuffed a grape into the mouth of her childhood sweetheart brother, whose face was full of a perverted expression, pulling him back from his dark side and preventing him from wanting to do anything "real torture" again.
The sweet juice of the grapes burst in his mouth, and Qin Zhan's brows furrowed slightly.
He's clearly a cool guy who doesn't like sweets!
However, since his girlfriend fed him, he still ate it.
Suddenly, someone looked at the girl next to him with a crazy expression and said, "Ah Xin, Li Qingchen and Han Yuying should be getting married soon."
Wen Xin ate grapes, her clear eyes looking at him as if asking: So what?
Qin Zhan chuckled softly, his arrogant features surprisingly refined and elegant, and asked with amusement, "I was wondering if we should give a gift of money?"
Wen Xin was speechless: "Brother, even if you have money to burn, you don't have to act like this, do you?"
How could she be so foolish as to give money as a wedding gift to a scumbag ex-boyfriend?
The older brother, who was childhood friends, was in an even better mood. "Sending my blessings, I hope they will be together forever."
Wen Xin: "..."
Is this really a blessing?
Qin Zhan looked back at her with his deep, captivating dark eyes, appearing utterly innocent.
That's really what he thought!
A toad and a turtle are destined to be together forever!
Wen Xin watched him silently, then quietly picked up a savory pastry and fed it to him.
Well, her childhood sweetheart was having an episode, so she figured she should just go along with him.
Enjoying his girlfriend's hospitality, the man was like a lion being stroked, lazy and content.
Of course, there was no need for his girlfriend to know how he was secretly plotting to kill Li Qingchen.
Ah Xin is timid, so we can't scare her!
Little Jin, who is often photographed looking like a butterfly specimen: Uh...
I don't know where to even begin complaining.
