Chapter 151 - Sister, why must you frame me (child abuse) (2/2)

Ning Shuqian and Wen Yuya were thunder-struck. Wen Yuya’s lips parted as if she wanted to speak, but no words came out.

Old Mr. Wen smiled coldly. “You guys forgot about the security in the New Century Manor, didn’t you?”

Wen Yuya’s body weakened, and she slid onto the floor. All of the energy had been sucked out of her.

Ning Shuqian was tongue-tied, looking at Old Mr. Wen’s sneer. She felt as if an icy blast of air had entered her hard, causing her to have breathing difficulties. She pushed Wen Yuya into a kneeling position and berated her non-stop. “How could you do such a thing to your sister? Did you forget who brought you up? Who gave you food, clothes, and even allowed you to change your surname to Wen? How could I have raised such an ungrateful dog.”

“Mom, it hurts, don’t hit me anymore, it’s painful… I know I’m wrong, I really know my faults…” Wen Yuya crawled on the floor, her body shaking and trembling. Mourning and crying, the hatred in her heart only continued to stir, growing bigger, crushing her heart.

Ning Shuqian’s hands continued to land on her body, each one with a lot of force. Wen Yuya’s skin was already bruised all over. “I have always told you, you’re an adopted daughter of the Wen Family, you have to remember the kindness of the Wen Family. Did you not listen? Where have my teachings gone to? You’re so disappointing!”

Wen Xinya observed the self-directed play by the mother-daughter duo and broke into a cold smile. Seeing the scratches forming on Wen Yuya’s arm, she realized that Ning Shuqian must have hit her pretty hard as an act in front of Old Mr. Wen.

But so what?

She, the official Big Miss Wen of the Wen Family, still had to gain Grandpa’s recognition even after returning to the Wen Family. Meanwhile, Wen Yuya was the adopted daughter of the Wen Family who had never received acknowledgment. Did she think she would be forgiven with this small act?

Naive! Ignorant!

Ning Shuqian was hurting on the inside, her tears falling as she hit her daughter hard. She was acting like a crazy woman. “This is all my fault for spoiling you on a daily basis, raising you to be so arrogant. This is my fault too…” She slapped herself harshly in the face.

The sound of the slap rang, and the corner of Ning Shuqian’s mouth was stained with blood. She let the blood drip down from her mouth and onto the clean and shiny floor, blooming into an enchanting red flower.

She looked at the ball Wen Yuya had transformed into through her teary vision. Her body was covered in traces and scars of her scratching, grabbing, twisting, and hitting. Her heart felt like it was bitten by a cold demon. It hurt so much, but there was nothing she could do.

She raised her head to look at Wen Xinya, who was quietly observing them on the sofa. Her clear eyes looked straight her their pathetic states, as if she were a dazzling star from high above the ground, watching the living. As if she were born noble, as if she were made to despise them, making her feel like a humble local beneath her gaze.

A wave of maddening hatred swept through Ning Shuqian’s body. B*tch, I won’t let this go. Sooner or later, I will repay everything from today, including interests.
