The Mind-Read Heiress: From Impostor to Family Favorite

Chapter 118 - 118 117 Shen Jingxiu He Heard It

?Chapter 118: Chapter 117 Shen Jingxiu, He Heard It Chapter 118: Chapter 117 Shen Jingxiu, He Heard It “Holy shit!!”

Out of the blue, a ghostly female voice sounded from behind. Wenyan was so startled that her heart skipped a beat, and a curse slipped from her lips.

When she turned her head, it was Qiao Kexin, whom she hadn’t seen for months.

The moment she saw her, Wenyan immediately frowned.

“Why is it you?” she didn’t give Qiao Kexin any face, “If you came here specifically to greet me, then I’ll tell you now, you’re not welcome here, please leave.”

“Yanyan!” However, instead of leaving, Qiao Kexin took a few steps closer to Wenyan.

Wenyan gave Qiao Kexin a big eyeroll.

“Have you developed Alzheimer’s early or something? If I remember correctly, we had already broken off our friendship. So, please don’t call me by my name, it makes me sick.”

Wenyan really didn’t want to give Qiao Kexin another glance.

Since she had the nerve not to leave, Wenyan decided it was time for her to leave instead.

But just as Wenyan had put her shoes back on, Qiao Kexin suddenly stepped forward and half knelt before her.

She grabbed both of Wenyan’s arms, a worried expression on her face, and was even close to crying.

“Yanyan, I know I was wrong before, I gave you a lot of bad advice, but now I’ve realized my mistakes. Can you please forgive me?”

“Are you out of your mind!” Wenyan tried to shake off Qiao Kexin, but to her surprise, Qiao Kexin was quite strong, and Wenyan struggled several times without breaking free.

She laughed in irritation, “Do you think I’m a sucker, Miss Qiao! Going on about how you know your mistakes; I think you’re trying to deceive a ghost. I can tell just by looking at your mental state that your life is not going well, and you thought you could drag me down with you when you saw me today, right?

“Let me tell you, that’s absolutely not happening. You might as well get rid of that thought right now. Also, I warn you, you better let go of me, or I’ll really lose my patience with you.”

“I won’t let go!” Wenyan guessed right, Qiao Kexin was indeed at her wits’ end.

Because her stepfather wanted to ‘sell’ her.

Her stepfather thought she was of marriageable age, and he had been taking her to various parties frequently, all to showcase her to various men.

But to ‘sell’ her for a good price, her stepfather had his eyes on older men who were old enough to be her father, the kind she would marry and immediately become a stepmother to their children.

Qiao Kexin didn’t want to marry an old man, and having seen Wenyan today, she had followed her immediately.

She pleaded with Wenyan through tears, “Yanyan, for the sake of our past friendship, I beg you to help me, really, you’re the only one who can help me now.

“My stepfather wants to marry me off to an old man, but I’m still so young, just in my twenties, my life shouldn’t be like this.”

“……” Wenyan was speechless, “So? What does that have to do with me? Have you been blacklisted or what? Just take your ID and buy a plane or train ticket and leave here!”

Actually, what Wenyan suggested was not a bad idea, but it wasn’t Qiao Kexin’s first choice.

Because once she ran away from the Qiao Family, she would be completely cut off from the wealthy circles. Although the Qiao Family wasn’t a powerful and rich household, Qiao Kexin didn’t want to live a poor and destitute life.

Of course, she couldn’t possibly reveal these thoughts to Wenyan.

She was single-mindedly focused on achieving her goal.

“Yanyan, things aren’t as simple as you think. I don’t dare to ask for your eldest or second brother’s help, but I saw on the variety show that your fourth brother has returned. You had the best relationship with him when you were in school.

“Please, could you talk to your fourth brother and ask him to pretend to be in a relationship with me? Just pretend; I won’t really cling to him. It only needs to appear to my stepfather that I’m with the Shen Family’s Fourth Young Master so he won’t, and wouldn’t dare, force me to marry someone else.”

“Fuck!” In just a few minutes, Wenyan couldn’t help but curse out loud again.

“Are you freaking out of your mind? Psycho!”

Wenyan tried harder, and this time, she finally managed to shake off one of Qiao Kexin’s hands.

But Qiao Kexin clearly saw her as a lifeline, desperately clinging to her other arm without letting go.

Wenyan laughed in anger, “Qiao, you asked for this!”

With that, she pulled off her high heel and struck Qiao Kexin’s hand with the sharp eight-centimeter heel.

Qiao Kexin winced in pain and reflexively withdrew her hand.

She fell to the ground, looking up at Wenyan with tears in her eyes, “Are you really that heartless? As a woman, do you not have any compassion at all?”

“Sicko!” If Wenyan disliked Qiao Kexin before, now she felt disgusted, “So I’m the villain now, huh? Your schemes and manipulations have somehow become pure and innocent? Get lost!”

Seeing Wenyan’s utterly unyielding attitude of not wanting to help, Qiao Kexin suddenly laughed.

Then, she slowly stood up in front of Wenyan.

She stopped pretending to be pitiful and went back to her usual self.

Jealousy twisted her features into something fierce, and she stared at Wenyan with a cold laugh.

“Wenyan! Do you think you’re more noble than me? Or do you really believe I have no way to deal with you? Don’t forget what kind of trash you were in the past!

“You’re not planning to help me, huh? Then tell me, what if your eldest brother, Shen Jingxiu, finds out about your past plans to drug him, sleep with him, or even to take nude photos of him to blackmail him, how would he react to you?

“And how would the Shen Family treat you? Could you still maintain the affectionate sibling relationship with the brothers of the Shen Family once they know you’re such a vile person? Will your adopted parents continue keeping you around once they know, hmm?

“Your fate might end up worse than mine. Tsk tsk tsk, I would think you wouldn’t want to fall to such a state.

“So, Wenyan! Do you see what you should do now? If you obediently follow my orders, I can help you keep this secret, understand?”

“Ha!” Wenyan laughed, even clapping her hands in applause for Qiao Kexin.

“You don’t think you can scare me with that, do you? What do you count for? Do you think my eldest brother and the Shen Family would believe you or me?”

“Hahaha, Wenyan! You surely underestimate me too much. I have chat records, you know, and I’ve screenshotted everything. Even if you don’t want to admit to our past conversations, the chat logs will admit it for you, get it?”

“……” At the entrance of the balcony, Shen Jingxiu, who had been ‘sent’ by Feng Suyang to deliver a shawl to Wenyan, froze for a few seconds when he overheard this conversation.

His brows furrowed, and he stood there, stunned and unable to move for a moment.

It wasn’t until the phone in his pocket started vibrating that he snapped back to reality.

Turning, he bowed his head to answer the call and hurriedly left the place.
