Having been brutally beaten in the street, Sheng Qing's emotions were on the verge of collapse.
She tried to escape from Zhou Shao and sought other admirers to rescue her.
But for some reason, those who were willing to save her were either controlled by their families or came from families less well-off than Zhou Shao's.
Those who had the ability to save her either stood by indifferently or turned a blind eye to her tragic plight.
During the three months in the mental hospital, Sheng Qing still had the will to live and thought about escaping, always harboring the idea of turning the tables and taking revenge.
Having been in Zhou Shao's hands for only two short months, Sheng Qing was like a flower on the verge of withering away...
Her face was deathly pale, and her body was so thin and bony that she looked even more like Lin Daiyu than Lin Daiyu herself.
Upon seeing her parents again, Sheng Qing almost wept with joy...
She subconsciously took a step towards Mr. and Mrs. Sheng.
To her surprise, a clear look of disgust flashed across Sheng's father's eyes upon her arrival.
Madam Sheng avoided eye contact, while the man standing beside her looked at her with undisguised disgust.
The noblewoman standing next to Sheng's father looked at her with undisguised sarcasm and mockery.
"Oh, isn't this our Miss Sheng?"
"Wasn't the young lady receiving treatment in a mental hospital? When did she recover and get discharged? Why didn't anyone inform us?"
"Well, Qingqing, you are the eldest daughter of our Sheng family. You've finally been discharged from the hospital and are finally free. The family has to throw a grand banquet to welcome you back."
The noblewoman's sarcastic remarks intensified the dislike for Sheng Qing in Sheng's father's eyes.
There was a faint trace of sympathy and heartache in Sheng's mother's gaze as she looked at Sheng Qing, but it vanished in an instant.
Madam Sheng took the hand of the man beside her and turned her head away, no longer looking at Sheng Qing.
Faced with this scene, Sheng Qing found it hard to believe.
What exactly happened?
Why don't her parents want her anymore?
Didn't you say you would pamper and cherish her for the rest of your life?
It's only been a few months?
How could they be so cruel and heartless to her?
The more Sheng Qing thought about it, the more she hated it. Her large eyes on her thin face looked particularly striking and frightening, and the hatred in her eyes was even more astonishing.
Upon realizing that Sheng Qing was ungrateful, the noblewoman beside Sheng's father sneered and nudged him with her elbow.
"This is your beloved baby daughter?"
"You'd disown your own daughter just because of such a vicious person?"
"For this, they were willing to lose the Sheng family's right to speak?"
"I'm not trying to be mean, but what are you thinking? What kind of spell has this girl cast on you?"
"How could someone be so bewitched?"
The noblewoman's undisguised mocking smile made Sheng's father's face turn extremely ugly.
He glared impatiently at the lady and snapped, "Are you done?"
"That's all in the past. Is it really necessary to keep bringing up old grievances?"
"You don't find it annoying, but I do!"
With that, Mr. Sheng turned and walked toward a corner of the banquet hall, not wanting to be watched by the crowd.
Seeing this, the noblewoman curled her lip, her eyes filled with undisguised disdain.
Meeting Sheng Qing's malicious gaze, the noblewoman chuckled and said, "Look at my memory, I forgot to introduce myself."
"Sheng Qing, is that right? You can just call me Madam Sheng. I'm your adoptive father's new wife." With that, the noblewoman turned and left, leaving Sheng Qing's hateful gaze behind.
"mom?"
Sheng Qing's father's ruthlessness left her with no choice but to place her last hope in her mother, who had always doted on her.
Unexpectedly, when faced with her gaze, Sheng's mother's first reaction was to look away.
"Don't just claim relatives randomly. Who's your mother?"
“We don’t have any relatives with such malicious intentions as you in our family.”
Before Sheng's mother could speak, the man beside her uttered malicious words.
Sheng Qing was filled with hatred, and her body trembled uncontrollably with rage.
But unfortunately, she couldn't get angry. Not only could she not do anything, she couldn't even argue back or yell back.
Thinking of this, Sheng Qing could only turn to her mother for help...
Unexpectedly, Sheng's mother's first reaction was to avoid her gaze and tighten her grip on the man's hand.
"Alright, stop talking. Let's go quickly, otherwise it will be bad for us if Young Master Pei and the others see us."
"It wouldn't be worth it if it implicated us."
Upon hearing these words from Sheng's mother, Sheng Qing felt as if her brain had exploded.
How could they treat her like this?
How could you do that?
"mom!!!"
Sheng Qing exclaimed in disbelief.
Faced with her shouts, Sheng's mother's eyes uncontrollably revealed her disgust and displeasure.
That's enough.
"I'm not your mother, can you please stop calling me that?"
"I've already done more than enough by raising you; can you please stop causing me trouble and dragging me into this mess?"
"Do you know you're a menace to society?"
"If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have ended up like this!"
You are the one who caused this situation!
After she finished speaking, Sheng's mother noticed two familiar figures at the entrance of the banquet hall out of the corner of her eye.
Mother Sheng's expression changed slightly, and she held the hand of the man beside her, urging him on.
"Let's go, Young Master Pei and the others are here."
"hurry up!"
After hearing Sheng's mother's reminder, the middle-aged man glanced in the direction where Pei Muzhi and Qin Wan were, and without lingering, turned and left.
Watching her mother's heartless departure, and then looking at Qin Wan and Pei Muzhi, who were being fawned over by everyone, Sheng Qing's malice and hatred reached their peak.
Qin Wan!!!
Qin Wan!!!
You bitch!!!
It's all your fault!!!
Thinking of this, a fleeting thought flashed through Sheng Qing's eyes as she stared intently at Qin Wan...
Upon entering the banquet hall, Qin Wan and Pei Muzhi immediately discovered Sheng Qing's miserable state.
"This young master Zhou really knows how to torture people," Qin Wan clicked her tongue in amazement.
“Sheng Qing is ruthless enough,” Pei Muzhi chuckled.
Zhou Shao tormented Sheng Qing, and Sheng Qing also tried every means to fight back.
Strangely enough, after being retaliated against by Sheng Qing, Zhou Shao not only did not hate her, but also felt that Sheng Qing was different and liked her even more.
Sure enough, he intensified his torment of Sheng Qing, who endured it while constantly fighting back.
These two just kept hurting each other...
Neither of them would let the other go...
The only difference is that Zhou Shao was enjoying it, while Sheng Qing was in extreme pain.
Watching Sheng Qing walk towards the food section, Qin Wan raised an eyebrow almost imperceptibly...
A flash of white light streaked across her eyes...
Hmm, does this person have a death wish?
Do you want to die together with her?
Based on her, Sheng Qing?
Thinking of this, Qin Wan curled her lips, a hint of sarcasm flashing across her eyes.
Pei Muzhi followed her gaze and only saw Sheng Qing, but not the others, so he didn't pay any attention to it.
Until a few minutes later...
The terrifying moment that happened!
Pei Muzhi's pupils contracted sharply!
