“What’s going on?!”

The moment Qin Mo saw his daughter entering the room, his figure, which was sitting on the sofa, suddenly jumped up. He threw the newspaper in his hand at her feet and roared.

“Are you truly asking me that, father?” Qin Youxuan bent down and picked up the newspaper which featured an article about a wedding. Her eyes narrowed.

Her kind father. She had disappeared for an entire night, but the first thing he voiced was his concern for the illegitimate son he had recently publicly acknowledged…

“Don’t tell me that you didn’t know?! The Meng family’s eldest daughter hasn’t even seen Ye’er; how could they register a marriage in secret? Once the media learns that, our whole family will be in trouble! Other than you, who would be so eager to destroy my son?!”

The middle-aged man did not notice his daughter’s thoughts as he vented his anger.

“Since you’ve already decided to pin this on me, why are you still asking? Just treat it as if I really did it!” Qin Youxuan tightly clenched the newspaper in her hand and raised her head arrogantly. She looked at her father with much disdain.

Slap!

The crisp sound of the slap reverberated in the living room, its strong impact causing her face to tilt to the side.

“Evil creature!”

Qin Mo felt slight numbness in his palm. After a while, he pressed it against his chest and panted heavily. “You’re really trying to anger me to death!”

“Mo, why are you getting so angry this early in the morning? If you hurt yourself for no reason, your son’s and my heart will ache. Are you still putting your hopes on this wild girl?”

A high-pitched voice, which was dripping with sarcasm, came from the staircase.

Qin Youxuan’s gaze instantly turned sharp as she fiercely glared at the woman who had made that scathing remark.

Jin Lan gracefully walked down the stairs. The woman was in her forties, yet she still looked as if she were in her early thirties.

With her elegant disposition, she resembled a lady from a distinguished family. One could tell from her pair of alluring phoenix eyes that she was extremely scheming.

Qin Youxuan maintained her fierce glare on the middle-aged woman as her hands clenched into fists.

It was this woman who kept pestering her father despite knowing that he already had a family and eventually drove her mother to an early grave!

Their illegitimate son was even older than her. How ridiculous was that?

She gritted her teeth.

“Mo…”

On the other hand, Jin Lan acted as if Qin Youxuan did not exist as she snuggled into Qin Mo’s embrace like a little bird. She comforted him. “The doctor warned you about your poor health, so you shouldn’t get angry easily. Who knows? Someone might be purposely angering you to death so that they could take all the family assets away!”

“Hmph! Unfilial daughter, if I die, you won’t get even a cent!” The middle-aged man gnashed his teeth.

“If I can’t, then no one else can!” Qin Youxuan suddenly declared as she pointedly looked at Jin Lan with highly provocative eyes.

“You…”

Qin Mo was agitated further by this. Just as he opened his mouth to speak, his face turned purple and his hand, which was pointing at his daughter, trembled.

“Butler, butler! Quickly help your old master to his room to rest. Get his medicine, too!” Jin Lan saw that something was really wrong with her husband and could not be bothered to bicker with her stepdaughter anymore. Hurriedly calling for help, she assisted him to his room.

Qin Youxuan stood there in the living room and watched the woman support up the stairs her father, who was currently like a lifeless puppet. Her hands tightened around the newspaper, which she had picked up from the floor earlier.

She went to her room.

Glancing at the newspaper in her hand, she snorted coldly and threw it in the rubbish bin. She then weakly collapsed on her bed and stared up at the ceiling.

She recalled the event last night.

Precisely because she had a big fight with Jin Lan, she had stormed out of the house to drink and sped on the highway. She did not expect to bump into someone and even get raped…
