Ning Tangxi and Zhang Yuan were not aware that Gu Yanwei had overheard their argument, and they parted on bad terms. Gu Yanwei sneaked towards Zhou Yunxi's room.
Zhou Yunxi had just returned from the mall and wanted to show Gu Yanwei the dress she had bought for her. However, Gu Yanwei entered her room sobbing.
"Mother, Ning Tangxi wants to chase me away."
"What? Who does she think she is!" Zhou Yunxi gritted her teeth in anger when she heard Ning Tangxi's name. "Little slut, what right does she have to chase you away? She's getting arrogant, isn't she? What does she think she is!"
If it wasn't for Zhou Yunxi, would Ning Tangxi have the life she had now?
"Mother, now that her biological daughter has come knocking on my door, Madam Ning will be forced to chase me out. Gu Ruochu will never let me off!"
Gu Yanwei knelt and continued sobbing. "Tell me, why did Madam Ning take me in as her goddaughter?"
"Yanwei!"
Zhou Yunxi's heart ached as she helped her daughter up. "Don't be sad, I will help you."
"Mother..." Gu Yanwei pretended to cry a few times. She had achieved her goal.
Zhou Yunxi thought about it and decided that she would use Gu Ruochu to settle the matter. She was Gu Ruochu's biological mother, and her daughter would not dare to disrespect her.
After making up her mind, Zhou Yunxi drove out of the house. Zhang Yuan had bought a car for Gu Yanwei after she passed her driver's license test.
There wasn't much traffic on the highway. Suddenly, the car behind Zhou Yunxi rammed into her, and the car veered off the road.
Zhou Yunxi's head hit the steering wheel, and she grimaced in pain. Blood flowed from her head seamlessly, and she began to panic.
The driver behind her did not let up. Instead, he backed up and rammed into her car again, causing a violent collision. Zhou Yunxi was so scared that she could not stop screaming.
Her car flipped over and hit the guardrails on the side of the highway. Zhou Yunxi was stuck inside the wreckage.
A man opened the car door and squatted next to her.
"Who... Who are you? Let go of me! I'm the foster mother of the eldest daughter of the Ning family! I can give you any sum of money you want. If you dare to touch me, the Ning family will not let you go!"
Xu Yichen remained unmoved as Zhou Yunxi continued screaming at the top of her lungs.
"You don't need to worry about whether the Ning family will let me off. What you need to worry about is whether you'll have the chance to climb out of this car."
Xu Yichen moved slightly, and Zhou Yunxi was completely pinned down by the car. Her arm was pinned down, and her bones and tendons hurt from being in an unnatural position. Zhou Yunxi screamed even more miserably.
Zhou Yunxi recognized Xu Yichen's face. She had seen him with Gu Ruochu several times.
She instantly regretted mistreating her daughter. Zhou Yunxi still had decades left to enjoy her life and did not want to die in that place.
"Please help me get out of here. I won't cause any more trouble for Gu Ruochu! I won't cause any more trouble for her!"
Xu Yichen did not even look at her face. His expression was no different from before as he dragged her out of the car with one hand. He then punched her in the face, making Zhou Yunxi shriek in pain.
Zhou Yunxi had never been hit by a man's fist. One of her eyes was immediately swollen.
"You... How dare you hit me?"
Another fist came at her. Zhou Yunxi felt dizzy, and her vision became blurry.
"If you hit me again, I will..."
Xu Yichen's third punch hit her face with brutal force.
