“Dad, just throw her out of my sight! I get furious just looking at her!”
Qin Su Lian shrieked.
Qin Hai frowned at his daughter, his head pounding, then glanced at the person kneeling on the floor.
He suddenly spoke.
“Go home and pack your bags. You’ll fly abroad soon.”
Qin Su Lian’s face twisted, looking at Qin Hai with defiance. He gave her a reassuring look, then waved his hand, signaling the servants to help Qin Wu Shuang back to her room.
Once everything was quiet, Qin Hai spoke.
“Su Lian, don’t worry. After she goes abroad, I’ll ‘take care’ of her.”
Hearing this, her contorted face slowly relaxed.
She spoke arrogantly.
“Hmph! She’s just an orphan, what right does she have to control the family assets? It’d be better to just kill her quickly right here!”
As soon as Qin Su Lian’s words were out, she was met with Qin Hai’s stern gaze.
He snapped.
“Those are not words to be spoken, Su Lian.”
Bang! Qin Su Lian stormed out, filled with anger and resentment.
…..
After returning to her old, dilapidated room, Qin Wu Shuang’s eyes swept around.
“Ha! You think sending me abroad can kill me? Dream on.”
Haha.
The next morning, a servant handed her a plane ticket and said,
“Departure is tomorrow. Please prepare.”
With that, she walked out the door with an arrogant air. Was this truly the demeanor a servant should have?
Qin Wu Shuang was already used to this, so she didn't pay it any mind.
“Hey! Qin Wu Shuang.”
“You’re going abroad tomorrow, aren’t you?”
Haha.
Qin Su Lian’s mocking laughter lingered, making the other servants want to join in.
After sitting down at the dining table, Qin Wu Shuang only focused on her breakfast.
She was starving to death; she had no energy to care about them.
“Wu Shuang, go to the airport by yourself tomorrow morning. Everyone in our family is busy, so we can’t see you off.”
*Even if you all came to see me off, I wouldn’t be happy to leave anyway.*
Qin Wu Shuang thought to herself.
After finishing breakfast, Qin Wu Shuang intended to go to school, but Qin Hai stopped her.
“Stay home today and prepare for your trip abroad tomorrow. I’ve already requested leave for you, so don’t worry.”
Hearing this, Qin Wu Shuang froze, wanting to retort, but then she stopped herself. She laughed at herself, wondering how she could possibly fight against them.
She then went back to her room.
Ting-ting, her phone rang.
She looked at the screen; it was Cheng Xin, who had sent a message asking to meet her.
“Uncle, I want to go out.”
“You…”
Before he could finish, she replied,
“Just for a moment. Are you afraid I’ll run away?”
With that, she left.
At the cafe.
Cheng Xin ordered Qin Wu Shuang a cup of coffee, as she didn’t like sweets.
“Xin Xin, why aren’t you at school today?”
“Wu Shuang, what happened to you? I heard Pei Shi Cheng say you’re going abroad tomorrow…”
Qin Wu Shuang looked at Cheng Xin, who seemed reluctant to part, and immediately felt that something was amiss.
How did Xin Xin know about her going abroad?
“Xin, don’t worry about this.”
“How can I not worry? What if your uncle harms you? I can protect you here, but Country B is beyond my family’s control.”
She looked at Cheng Xin, and tears gently fell.
“Xin, thank you for caring about me. Now I have no other choice but to follow his arrangements.”
As she said this, Qin Wu Shuang’s face became colder than ever.
She hated Qin Hai to the bone!
