An Mingyu subconsciously turned around and saw An Mingzhu standing behind him holding a large water jug, with a sly smile on her face after her success.
He tried to say something, but the next moment everything went black and he fainted.
An Mingzhu was still holding the large water bottle in her hand, smiling brightly. She said gently, "Mingyu, didn't I tell you before? In this world, the only thing that will never hurt you is yourself."
She put the kettle back in its place, then dragged An Mingyu to the corner, and took out a pair of hand scissors from the wardrobe.
—She had to thank Xie Jinya, because although Xie Jinya had cleared out all the other dangerous items from her room, she had forgotten to check her wardrobe.
She pressed the sword against An Mingyu's carotid artery and waited quietly for Xie Jinya and the others to arrive.
An Mingyu regained consciousness shortly afterward.
He stared at the scissors pressed against his neck, remaining silent.
There wasn't much water in the kettle, so An Mingyu's injuries weren't very serious. He had simply fainted due to dizziness caused by a sudden, strong impact to his head.
"You're awake? It's good that you're awake, otherwise I won't be able to move you later." She still wanted to use An Mingyu as a hostage to leave the An family.
If he stays unconscious, how will she get him downstairs later?
An Mingyu's eyes were cold and calm: "Why?"
"That's ridiculous. Why do you think that is? Your parents are trying to sell me off like merchandise. Why do you think that is?"
An Mingyu pursed her lips: "Your parents used to treat you very well. They loved you so much, they wouldn't really do that to you. They just wanted to scare you."
"Trying to scare me? If you really just wanted to scare me, then why did you chain me up? Heh, An Mingyu, only you would believe such nonsense to a three-year-old!" Anyway, she didn't believe it.
An Mingyu fell silent.
After a while, he spoke again in a hoarse voice: "Have you never considered us as real family?"
"Heh, what do you think?" An Mingzhu asked instead of answering.
"Why?" An Mingyu asked, her voice trembling with grief. "Your parents have always been very good to you. We've always considered you family... Why?"
An Mingyu never understood why she suddenly became so bad, so bad that he didn't recognize her at all.
"Why? Why do you think I am? An Mingyu, I'm not like you. I'm not a member of the An family. I originally wanted to treat you as real family, but if you hadn't broken my heart, would I have become like this?!"
When she was eight years old, it was revealed that she was not the daughter of the An family. Even though she tried to cover it up, it was still exposed.
After the affair was exposed, An Guosheng almost divorced Xie Jinya.
At that time, because Xie Jinya refused to divorce, she was beaten black and blue by An Guosheng, and the entire An family was in chaos.
And as the catalyst for all of this, how could she possibly fare any better? An Guosheng disliked her, and Xie Jinya vented all her anger on her.
They scolded her, beat her, kicked her, didn't give her enough to eat, and deliberately didn't call her during mealtimes, or even only gave her leftovers.
In the dead of winter, they ordered her to go out and throw out the trash, and then locked her outside, leaving her standing in the freezing cold yard all night!
