Chapter 162: It is Mom who failed you

"Please, tell me, where exactly is my daughter?"

Liu Wanxin grabbed Shi Yi's collar like a madwoman, saying half in pleading and half in threat.

"Let go of her!"

Qin Hao Bei's sword-like brows stood up, his large hand pulled away the claws Liu Wanxin had used to grab Shi Yi's chest, and he threw her aside fiercely.

"Don't you touch Xing'er!"

Shi Yi was caught off guard and couldn't help but cover her chest and cough a few times.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Seeing this, Liu Wanxin actually fell to her knees in front of Shi Yi with a "thump".

"I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean to hurt you, I just want to know where Xi'er is? She has... she has been missing for a month, she must be locked up somewhere, otherwise, it's impossible for her not to contact me for so long..."

"Then go find the police, why come here?!"

Qin Hao Bei stared fiercely at Liu Wanxin while patting Xing'er's chest to help her breathe.

"I've already looked!"

Liu Wanxin said with snot and tears:

"The police searched the entire Lanwan City and couldn't find her! I know, she must have been hidden by you, right? The only ones in all of Lanwan who could hide from the police and hide from Heng's search are you, the Qin family. Please, tell me where she is!"

Qin Hao Bei sighed silently.

"Madam, I really don't know where your daughter is."

He thought to himself, if the Qin family really wanted to get rid of Shi Xi, would they have waited until now?

If it weren't for Xing'er constantly stopping him from taking action, he would have already gotten rid of that woman, and would never have let her have the chance to hurt Xing'er again.

Liu Wanxin's body trembled; she seemed possessed, unable to hear Qin Hao Bei's words at all, and instead began kowtowing to Shi Yi, "thump, thump, thump."

"Xiao Yi, Mom apologizes to you, I'll kowtow to you, okay?! For so many years, it is Mom who failed you, it is our whole family who owes you! If you want to hate, hate me! If you want to punish, punish me, okay?! You can ask me to do anything, I can pay you back with my own life!"

"Just, please don't hurt Xi'er... no matter what, she is your own sister... Yi'er, I beg you!"

Hearing that long-lost "Mom," Shi Yi's heart suddenly felt a pang of soreness, followed by a bitter smile.

For so many years, to say she didn't have hatred would be a lie. Deep in her heart, she also longed for the day when Liu Wanxin could sincerely say sorry to her.

After all, she was also Liu Wanxin's biological daughter, and she also longed to receive her mother's love, even if it was just a little bit of concern.

But she hadn't expected Liu Wanxin to actually apologize to her.

What was ridiculous was that this "sorry" was still for the sake of Shi Xi.

Shi Yi's heart felt as if it were stuffed with a ball of cotton, and she couldn't say a word.

She could only stand there at a loss.

Just then, her cold hand was suddenly gripped tightly by a large hand.

Qin Hao Bei's voice was cold and sharp, like a dignified judge.

"Madam, please watch your language. The person standing in front of you is not Shi Yi, and certainly not your daughter. Her name is Shen Xingyao, and she is a member of my Qin family! You say you failed your daughter Shi Yi, then you should go to the Martyrs Cemetery, you should kneel before her tombstone and repent, and ask her if she should forgive you."

"As for your other daughter Shi Xi, I can tell you responsibly that I haven't touched her, and Xing'er certainly hasn't touched her. Heh, you overestimate that woman's value too much; in my eyes, she is worthless, and I wouldn't bother dirtying my hands for her."

Qin Hao Bei's brows tightened, his gaze like a sharp blade.

"Please leave here immediately. Otherwise... I will call the police!"

Hearing Qin Hao Bei's words, Liu Wanxin finally went limp and collapsed on the ground.

She seemed to have aged significantly in an instant, and the light in her eyes faded bit by bit.

Qin Hao Bei gripped Shi Yi's wrist, his voice finally softening.

"Xing'er, let's go."

At night, in Shi Yi's bedroom.

"Xing'er, nothing in the room has been moved, it's still as it was, though the servants cleaned it up this morning."

"Also, the sheets and quilt have been freshly changed, and my mom even sunned them specially, saying you like the smell of the sun..."

Qin Hao Bei said while moving the suitcase in:

"By the way, how about I help you unpack these things in the suitcase? I see many of them are books, they're too heavy... you can just direct me from the side."

Shi Yi smiled helplessly and said jokingly:

"Brother, how about... you just stay in my room..."

Qin Hao Bei laughed and said seriously:

"Sure, I wasn't at ease with you sleeping alone anyway! You wait, Brother will go get a quilt!"

After saying that, he actually turned around as if to leave.

"Brother, come back! I was joking!"

Shi Yi stomped her feet in anger.

"Qin Hao Bei, you did that on purpose, didn't you!"

Qin Hao Bei chuckled, "Why did you stop calling me Brother? What, once you get angry, you don't recognize me anymore?"

It was the first time Shi Yi discovered that Qin Hao Bei had this kind of rogue temperament, and she pursed her lips helplessly.

"Hmph, I can't be bothered with you!"

"You go back quickly, I'll tidy up the rest myself, you should go to sleep early too."

"Alright, then tidy up slowly... don't get tired."

"Oh my, I only have this little bit of luggage, I won't get tired, Brother, you go back quickly!"

Shi Yi pushed Qin Hao Bei out and then closed the door with a "bang."

Tick, tick...

The clock on the wall pointed to 10:00 PM, Shi Yi finally finished tidying up her luggage, she let out a long breath and fell backward onto the bed.

Truth be told, this work was indeed a bit tiring...

She took the pillow, intending to hold it for a while to be comfortable, but unexpectedly, she fell asleep just like that.

The night grew deeper bit by bit.

The light in the room dimmed at some point.

In the darkness, a woman's ferocious face appeared, and she was holding a long whip in her hand.

"Little bitch, where did you hide my Xi'er? Give her back to me!"

Shi Yi's body began to tremble, she held her head and retreated repeatedly, her glass-like transparent eyes filled with terror.

"Mom, I didn't hide Xi'er, and I didn't hurt her..."

"You still won't admit it?!"

With a "snap," the whip lashed across her snow-white skin, leaving a bright red bloodstain.

"Wasn't that eye of Xi'er blinded by you with a laser pointer? And you say you didn't hurt her! You stay here and reflect on yourself properly! If you don't find Xi'er, don't even think about coming out!"

With a "click," the iron lock fell, and the surroundings fell into silence.

Shi Yi knelt on the ground, pounding the door fiercely, screaming heart-wrenchingly:

"Let me out!"

"Help, help!"

"I'm scared! Someone save me..."

"Someone save me..." ===== CHAPTER 163 =====
