A white cane tapped rhythmically.
Her figure was graceful. Even her coarse clothes could not hide her beauty. Despite her plain-looking face, she was still beautiful and stunning.
Unfortunately, she was blind.
"You must be Xie Ru. I am your second uncle and this is your second aunt. We are your relatives. If it weren't for my poor brother and sister-in-law, you wouldn't have been exiled for so many years."
This pretty boy must be her second uncle, Xie Zhen, and the person beside him must be her second aunt, Qin Zhen.
Xie Ru sneered in her thoughts, 'Isn't this what you wanted? My parents will probably never know they died such a violent death due to their identity as the people in charge of Xie Corporation. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to pretend to be blind.'
"Xie Ru, my poor child. You must have suffered a lot. Come over and let your second aunt have a good look at you."
Xie Ru raised the white cane in her hand and deliberately shook it in the air as she pointed it at her second uncle and aunt. The latter two were so shocked they jumped and screamed.
"Mom, isn't she blind? How will she go to the Gu family in my place?"
This was her second uncle's daughter, Xie Wutong, who was quite a good-looking person.
"Alright, alright, stop shouting. Are you trying to attract everyone's attention? Look at you. You're the eldest daughter of the Xie family and yet you had to despise the Gu family's young master just because he's become a cripple in a vegetative state. If you act up even more now, do you want to ruin the marriage between the Gu and Xie families?"
"I'm just worried. This blind girl won't be able to fool them. The Gu family are not fools. If they knew the truth, they would definitely not let me go. Mom, I don't want to be a widow. Please save me. You must save me."
Xie Wutong's plea might make people think she was going to die. But the marriage between the Gu and Xie families had been decided by the respective elders since they were young.
Back then, Xie Wutong had been very proud and arrogant.
"Little Ru, would you like to live in a big and bright room? Second Aunt will send you to live there in a few days, okay?"
Xie Ru finally found out that the young master of the Gu family had become a disabled vegetable. When Xie Wutong didn't want to go, this pair of husband and wife suddenly remembered that they had a niece out there somewhere in the world.
"Second Aunt, the marriage between the Gu and Xie families had been decided on by the second branch of the family. I'd better not overstep my boundaries and steal my sister's limelight," said Xie Ru in a dignified manner with a snort.
When Xie Wutong heard this, how could she still remain calm? This blind woman didn't appreciate such a favor presented to her. This was a gift from the heavens!
"You d*mn blind woman! How could you reject something so generously given to you? The young master of the Gu family may be a cripple but becoming the young lady of the Gu family is a matter of bringing honor to the ancestors. Even the wandering souls of your dead parents will never have such an opportunity."
Xie Ru held the white cane tightly in her hand. Xie Wutong really wanted to die to be spouting such rude words. Xie Ru's dear cousin was really pushing her buttons. Perhaps it was time to try out the dog-beating method.
Xie Ru instantly acted as if she had been provoked as she waved the white cane in her hand randomly and managed to hit Xie Wutong's body.
"Ah! Father, Mother, save me! I don't want to be beaten to death by this sl*t."
How could Qin Zhen bear to see her own daughter being humiliated like this? She immediately stepped forward to grab Xie Ru's white cane. Xie Ru narrowed her eyes slightly and turned her body sideways to avoid Qin Zhen's approach.
With a yelp, Qin Zhen fell on her back.
"Xie Ru, you shameless person. The madam of the Gu family is doing this for you because she thinks highly of you. Don't forget, when your dead parents are gone, I am your guardian now. Who knows? You might have ended up the bride of someone living in the mountains instead."
"How arrogant of you, Second Uncle. If you are asking for help, you should behave like someone who actually wants it. Fifty million or the deal is off."
Fifty million was not a small amount to Xie Zhen. According to what she knew, although Xie Zhen was doing well in Xie Corporation, such a large amount of money would only exist in the hands of the head of the Xie family.
Xie Zhen secretly cursed the sl*t before saying, "Fine, you'll have your fifty million. But I have to transfer it to you in three installments. You should also know that this is not a small amount. I won't be able to give it to you all at once."
"Second Uncle is indeed straightforward. I trust that he wouldn't betray his own niece."
"Don't worry. This money will definitely be transferred to your account."
Xie Ru smiled slightly. It would be best if that was the case.
