The car stopped outside the Wen family's gate. Wen Shengsheng got out and said, "Thanks."
"Of course."
Suddenly, a strong grip appeared on Wen Shengsheng's arm as Wen Qinian's slap was about to land.
Frowning, Wen Shengsheng swiftly countered with a slap that landed on Wen Qinian's face!
Glaring at Wen Shengsheng with eyes about to burst with anger, Wen Qinian's face twitched as he struggled to control his emotions.
"You wretch, how dare you lay a hand on me," Wen Qinian's voice turned cold, his gaze sharp and sinister, sending a chill down one's spine.
Wen Shengsheng ignored him, smiling as she bid farewell to Shen Shu.
"Do you need any help?"
"It's a small matter, I can handle it." Brimming with confidence, Wen Shengsheng spoke. Shen Shu's deep gaze lingered on Wen Qinian before he drove away.
Without looking back, Wen Shengsheng stepped into the Wen household, while the slapped Wen Qinian wished he could strangle her slender neck.
Wen Qinian, with the mark of the slap still on his face, appeared in front of everyone. Wen mother and Meng Qiqi exploded on the spot!
"Qinian… your face?"
"Someone get some ice," Meng Qiqi urgently called for a servant. Holding the ice herself, she gently pressed it against Wen Qinian's face, her eyes full of concern. "Big brother, does it hurt?"
With Meng Qiqi's care, Wen Qinian's initially furious expression gradually softened. "With Qiqi taking care of me, my face doesn't hurt."
Sitting aside, Wen Shengsheng couldn't help but roll her eyes.
This scene happened to be seen by Wen mother, who was burning with anger as she questioned, "Wen Shengsheng, was it you who hit Qinian?"
"I did!"
She admitted frankly, which only made Wen mother angrier.
What followed were reprimands and scolding!
Not discerning right from wrong, completely blaming her. This was her so-called biological mother.
Wen Shengsheng felt sorrowful for the original owner.
"Sister, how could you hit big brother…" Meng Qiqi's eyes were full of accusation, seemingly extremely dissatisfied with her actions.
Wen Qinian's face darkened, his gaze fiercely menacing.
Wen Shengsheng, the person involved, remained indifferent. She glanced around, her lips curling into a mocking smile. "Not asking the reason, just scolding me. You really are my good family."
"Wen Shengsheng, regardless of the reason, you shouldn't have hit Qinian. He's your elder brother, and you're too disrespectful. How could our Wen family produce such a rebellious daughter? Why can't you be half as obedient as Qiqi!"
Facing Wen Shengsheng, Wen mother was particularly disappointed.
Praised, Meng Qiqi's eyes flashed with pride.
"I'm just born this way, maybe because I was born but not raised by my mother."
"You… unfilial child, unfilial child—" Wen mother was furious on the spot. Wen Qinian and his siblings further belittled her, threatening to teach her a lesson!
In this house, Wen Shengsheng had no status at all.
She disdainfully got up and went upstairs, ignoring the three people's scolding and reprimanding downstairs.
Back in her bedroom, Wen Shengsheng clenched her palm. If she had known it would turn out like this, she should have used even more force with that slap. She picked out a special wooden hairpin from the jewelry box. The original owner was quite clever.
It wasn't until Wen Shengsheng received a call from the hospital that her expression turned serious as she hurried downstairs.
"Sister, are you going to the hospital?" Meng Qiqi asked deliberately.
Wen Shengsheng's eyes darkened, her gaze sharp as she swept it across the three people present. Wen Qinian immediately scolded, "What are you looking at?"
"I'm warning you, don't get any ideas. If anything happens to grandma, I won't let you off."
She snorted coldly and left quickly.
Behind her, Wen Qinian instantly cursed, "Mom, did you hear that? She doesn't consider us family at all. In her heart, there's only that old woman. Such a daughter, we shouldn't have brought her back in the first place."
"Say less. If she didn't come back, would you have Qiqi marry Qin Hemen? What if he ends up causing her death?"
Wen mother was very protective of Meng Qiqi.
Leaning gently against Wen mother, Meng Qiqi expressed her worry, "Mom, what if sister gets harmed... what should we do?"
"She'll be fine. I consulted a master; Wen Shengsheng is equally strong-willed. Marrying Qin Hemen won't harm her."
"And even if something does happen, it's her own fault for not being competent. Qiqi, you are the one who matters most to us." Wen Qinian favored Meng Qiqi and didn't care about Wen Shengsheng's fate. After all, she was tough enough to handle it.
Meng Qiqi said sweetly, "Thank you, Mom, Big Brother. I'm so happy to have you both."
"Silly girl, you are the Wen family's treasure." Wen mother lovingly patted her back. The family seemed perfectly harmonious, but Wen Qinian, still bearing the slap mark, felt a constant dissatisfaction.
He left for the hospital.
Grandma Wen had severe lung issues. Her only chance of survival was a lung transplant, but the surgery costs over a million, not to mention the subsequent monitoring and care expenses.
Currently, Wen Shengsheng only had fifty thousand in her account. Grandma Wen's treatment depended entirely on the Wen family.
That was why the Wen family could manipulate the original Wen Shengsheng!
Grandma Wen had been resuscitated. Wen Shengsheng stayed by her bedside, her expression calm but her brow furrowed with worry.
She left the room and headed to the attending physician's office.
Just as she was about to knock, a young nurse emerged, her face flushed. After a brief eye contact with Wen Shengsheng, the nurse hurried away.
Then, a tall doctor in a white coat appeared. He was handsome, with delicate features and an enchanting gleam in his eyes.
When Wen Shengsheng met his gaze, she felt a bit flustered.
Focused solely on Grandma Wen's condition, Wen Shengsheng pushed aside other thoughts.
"Dr. Ji, how is my grandmother's condition now?"
Ji Wensheng stepped closer. "The old lady's condition is quite unstable; there could be danger at any time. I will do my utmost to save her."
"Thank you, Dr. Ji."
Her gratitude was sincere. After all, he was Grandma Wen's attending physician, and it was he who saved her today!
At that moment, someone came to fetch Dr. Ji for rounds. Wen Shengsheng said goodbye, and Ji Wensheng watched her slender figure walk away, his eyes flickering slightly.
Wen Shengsheng waited for Grandma Wen to wake up. Fetching water, she was suddenly pulled hard by the arm around a corner, crashing into a solid chest that hurt her face.
"Dr. Ji?"
Wen Shengsheng exclaimed in surprise.
She found herself in an intimate position, lying against his chest. As she struggled to get up, Ji Wensheng's hand tightened around her waist, leaving no gap between them.
"Miss Wen... you'd better not move."
His satisfied sigh sounded in her ear, making Wen Shengsheng shudder with shock.
He—
He actually—
A wolf in sheep's clothing!
"Dr. Ji, this is a hospital. Please show some respect," Wen Shengsheng's voice turned cold. Unexpectedly, the man holding her laughed softly. "Miss Wen, since you dare to seduce me, you should bear the consequences."
Wen Shengsheng's face darkened. What misunderstanding and narcissism was this?
Unbeknownst to her, her struggle seemed like a deliberate seduction to some.
Qin Hemen watched with dark eyes, radiating a powerful chill!
