“Shikui, do you know what you’re talking about? Wen Xin is nothing. She only managed to get close to those people in the capital. When those people have had enough of her, what benefits will she get?”
Su Li shouted emotionally at Geng Shikui. Geng Qiu was not the only one who was shocked today; she was too. She had never thought that the man standing beside Wen Xin would be able to suppress Madam Zhao, and she had never thought that Lapor would publicly announce that Tan Xingyue was her direct disciple.
This made all her plans go up in smoke. How could she accept such a reality?
Su Li’s words angered Geng Shikui. The veins on Geng Shikui’s hand that was holding the armrest of the wheelchair were bulging. “How can you say that about your daughter? Although she’s your adopted daughter in the eyes of outsiders, you know very well that she was born from ten months of your pregnancy. Go, beg her for forgiveness now and invite her back to the Geng family!”
Before this, Geng Shikui had thought a lot. If he could invite Wen Xin back, then Wen Xin’s powerful and terrifying connections would be useful to him. Now that Geng Qiu was crippled, the Zhao Family had already called him before Geng Qiu’s accident, wanting to reconsider the engagement between her and Zhao Yuzheng.
Although Wen Xin was not his biological daughter, the memory of Wen Xin’s once docile and manipulable demeanor in his family, combined with her filial piety to her grandmother, made him believe that she would obediently listen to him.
“Bringing her back to the Geng family, Geng Shikui, what do you think? Do you know what she did to Qiuqiu? She made Qiu Qiu lose face in the socialite circle! How will Qiuqiu survive in the socialite circle in the future?”
Su Li couldn’t understand how Geng Shikui could say such things. Since she had given him the projects from her notebook, Geng Shikui seemed to have reverted to the person he was before, focused solely on developing the Geng Group.
She had initially thought that sharing her work would motivate him, but now she realized she was wrong. Instead of fostering collaboration, it had only fueled his ambition, and now he was considering abandoning Geng Qiu.

“If she can’t survive, she’ll move to another place. I’ll arrange for her to attend an elite school abroad. After a few years, these people will forget what happened in the past. She can come back again. At that time, they will all be people who admire her!”
Listening to Geng Shikui’s wishful thinking, Su Li could no longer remain calm. She roared at Geng Shikui in a heart-wrenching manner, “So vou really want to abandon Qiuqiu? You’re willing to send her overseas? She’s a princess that I’ve raised with my hands!”
“If the Geng family is gone, the princess will be left without support. If you truly want the best for the Geng family, send Geng Qiao away and bring back Wen Xin. Though the relationship between you and your daughter may be strained, the bond of mother and daughter runs deep and can be resolved!”
Geng Shikui did not look at the shocked Geng Qiu who was sitting on the bed. He did not want to look at Geng Qiu’s delicate and pitiful appearance. He had originally thought that Geng Qiu could help him win over the Zhao Family, but now it seemed useless.
“Geng Shikui, you’re thinking too much. Wen Xin was indeed raised by my mother, but she wasn’t born by me. The child I gave birth to died in the hospital. In order to get Tan Mingyao to divorce me, I bought a child. Wen Xin already knows the truth. She won’t return to the Geng family!”
At this moment, Su Li was smiling like an old witch. She would not let the Geng family abandon Geng Qiu. She wanted to protect Geng Qiu’s position as the little princess.
As he listened to Geng Shikui and Su Li’s messy matters, Geng Shicheng gently tugged at his wife and gave her a look before leaving the ward with her.
There were only three people left in the ward. One of them was Geng Shikui, who had a pale face. All his plans had turned into bubbles because of Su Li’s words.
One of them was Su Li, whose eyes were bloodshot. She never expected Geng Shikui to give up on her precious daughter. She suddenly felt that Geng Shikui had become a stranger.
The other was Geng Qiu, sitting on the hospital bed in a daze.
She could not care less about the fact that there was an IV needle in her arm. Her mind was now filled with thoughts of how to salvage her image, salvage Zhao Yuzheng, and salvage Geng Shikui’s respect for her.
The ward was silent for a long time before Geng Qiu’s hoarse voice slowly sounded. “I’ve decided. I’ll practice hard and participate in the piano competition. Tan Xingyue’s arm is fractured, and she can’t participate in the piano competition anymore. I’ll win the championship and make those who look down on me regret it!”
Upon hearing Geng Qiu’s words, Su Li slowly regained her awareness. She walked to Geng Qiu’s bedside, hugged her, and gently patted her back.
“My little princess is the best. There’s still one more week. Your piano skills are so good. You’ll definitely succeed.”
“Mom, don’t quarrel with Dad. Dad has just recovered. Go home with Dad first. I want to be alone for a while!”
Geng Qiu pulled the blanket and covered her head. She had mixed feelings. She wanted to amaze everyone at the piano competition and make those who had abandoned her regret it.
Wen Xin sat in Mu Chengxi’s car, eating corn with a smile. Her face was filled with satisfaction.
Looking at her easily satisfied expression, Mu Chengxi suddenly felt that she was like a little sister next door.
He slowly inched closer to Wen Xin and gently kissed her cheek. He leaned into her ear and asked in a gentle voice, “Is it delicious?”
Wen Xin raised the black corn in front of Mu Chengxi and gestured for him to have a taste. “Have a bite. It tastes pretty good!” I used to secretly bring Tan Xingyue to the fields to roast corn, and we would always get caught at
Grandma’s house.”
Wen Xin thought of the past, and a gentle smile appeared on her face. That was when she was at her most bitter. All of her career was at a new stage. The only thing she could do was to accompany Tan Xingyue to steal corn and roast it. Then, she disappeared for a few months and returned to the Ancient Market Town to recuperate.
Grandma and Grandpa had seen everything about her, but they never asked about it. Whenever they talked about her, they would say in a heartbroken tone, “She’s someone who does great things. We can’t become her shackles. All we can do is support and take care of her so that she doesn’t have to worry about anything.”
Mu Chengxi looked at Wen Xin’s beautiful eyes and his eyes became misty. He took a bite of the black corn in Wen Xin’s hand and said gently, “Delicious!”
Mu Chengxi’s word of ‘yummy’ scared Wen Xin so much that she immediately took back the roasted corn and looked at Mu Chengxi nervously.
“I asked you if you wanted to eat it just now, and you were very disgusted. You said you didn’t want to eat it. Now, you say it’s delicious. Let me tell you, I won’t share it with you!”
Seeing Wen Xin protecting her food for the first time, the smile on Mu Chengxi’s face deepened. A pleasant laugh spilled out from the corner of his lips. “How you protect your food is exactly the same as how Huahua beat Melons for canned food in the morning..”
