Qi Siran sat in the room with a gloomy face. She wanted to reach out and smash the lamp beside her.
But now she didn't even have the courage to do so.
She knew that in Mrs. Qi's heart, she had completely disappointed her.
Her status in this family had become extremely precarious.
Qi Siran couldn't figure out which step had gone wrong.
And kneeling in front of her was Wen Zhi, trembling like a sieve.
There were bruises of various sizes on Wen Zhi's body. She couldn't help but lower her head, covering the slightly venomous look in her eyes.
What on earth had this woman gone crazy about! Why did she call her over again today to torture her!
She had helped Qi Siran find the real daughter just a few days ago. Wasn't that a meritorious deed?
Why was Qi Siran treating her like this now?!
"Do you know Li Lezhen's real identity?"
Qi Siran said coldly.
Wen Zhi couldn't help but look a bit confused when she heard this name.
"Didn't we find out a few days ago that she's your mother's biological daughter?"
Hearing this, Qi Siran flew into a rage and rushed up to slap her.
"Slap—"
Qi Siran used all her strength in this slap. Wen Zhi lost her balance and fell to the ground. A trace of bright red blood oozed from the corner of her mouth.
Wen Zhi covered her mouth in disbelief.
"You! What on earth do you want!"
"Didn't I help you find Mrs. Qi's biological daughter? Even if I didn't have any merits, I've put in a lot of effort, right? If you treat me like this now, aren't you afraid of being punished by God!"
Hearing her words, the sarcastic smile on Qi Siran's lips grew wider and wider.
She reached out and grabbed Wen Zhi's hair while she was still lying on the ground.
"You even have the nerve to mention this!"
"Li Lezhen is not my mother's biological daughter at all. She's just an ordinary passer - by!"
"You stupid fool dared to say so without finding enough evidence first! Who gave you the guts!"
When Qi Siran let go, Wen Zhi let out a pained groan. Qi Siran had a handful of Wen Zhi's hair in her hand. She disdainfully shook her hand and threw the hair into the trash can like garbage.
Wen Zhi covered the painful spot on her head, looking shocked.
What did Qi Siran just say?
Li Lezhen wasn't Mrs. Qi's biological daughter!?
Stupid as she was, she realized that she might have been deceived by Mrs. Qi this time!
Wen Zhi knelt on the ground trembling.
"Siran, this has nothing to do with me! I just said that she might be your mother's biological daughter, but I didn't expect you to act without further investigation..."
In a single sentence, Wen Zhi shifted all the blame onto Qi Siran.
Hearing this, Qi Siran was so angry that she laughed instead.
A cold smile appeared on Qi Siran's lips. She wanted to slap her again, but she almost choked on her breath.
"So you think it's all my fault?"
In front of Qi Siran, Wen Zhi was in a complete mess. Her hair was no longer as delicate as before. There was still blood at the corner of her mouth, and her body was covered in injuries of various sizes.
She gritted her teeth and thought in her heart.
If it weren't for the large amount of money Qi Siran gave her, she wouldn't have endured this suffering!
Qi Siran walked over, grabbed her hair, and forced Wen Zhi to raise her head and look at her.
She was about to slap her again, but before her hand could fall, Wen Zhi firmly grabbed her wrist.
A look of humiliation flashed across Wen Zhi's eyes.
She easily broke free from Qi Siran's grip on her hair, then stood up while holding Qi Siran's wrist.
"Qi Siran, you've treated me like a plaything for so long. Shouldn't you be satisfied?"
Wen Zhi angrily threw Qi Siran's wrist aside. She had already endured one slap from her, but unexpectedly, this woman wanted to go even further!
"Making me your free punching bag for so long. Aren't you satisfied yet?"
After shaking off Qi Siran, Wen Zhi took a few cautious steps back, keeping a safe distance from her.
Just in case this woman went crazy again and rushed over.
"Moreover, that day I just guessed that she might be your mother's biological daughter.
It's your own fault that you didn't conduct further investigations and just rushed to find her. What does it have to do with me?"
Thinking about her recent achievements, Wen Zhi impatiently said to her.
"Besides, this is your own business, not mine. Why should I take the blame for you?"
"If you want to shift the blame, you've really come to the wrong person!"
Seeing Wen Zhi suddenly stand up for herself, Qi Siran couldn't help but curl her lips.
"What? Have you found a new backer and are ready to get rid of me, so you're saying these things?"
Qi Siran was really good at sizing people up. Her words hit Wen Zhi's weak spot, making her angrily retort.
"Qi Siran, don't pick a fight with me for no reason!"
It was the first time Wen Zhi had spoken to Qi Siran so assertively. For a moment, she even felt a bit unaccustomed.
After all, she had been a sycophant in front of Qi Siran for so long. There was still a bit of a conditioned reflex.
Qi Siran coldly glanced at her and didn't try to hit her again. Instead, she sat down on the chair.
Although Qi Siran was the one sitting, her aura was still overwhelming.
"Do you think I don't know what you've been up to recently and what schemes you've been hatching?
Do you think you're qualified to make money from the men in the nightclub? You're not.
I've said before, right? I won't waste money on a useless person. You've spent so much of my money. If I just let you go like this, wouldn't all that money be wasted?
A cruel smile appeared on Qi Siran's lips.
"You'll only ever be my dog for the rest of your life."
Qi Siran spoke word by word, trampling on Wen Zhi's self - esteem.
Wen Zhi couldn't stand her mocking and disdainful tone.
She used to be a high - ranking young lady. It was just that she had fallen from grace and ended up like this.
"Qi Siran, are you threatening me?"
"I'm telling you, if you dare to treat me like this, I'll expose all the dirty things you've done. Then we'll just go down together!"
As Wen Zhi said this, a crazy smile appeared on her lips.
"I don't care, but you're different. You're the young lady of a top - tier wealthy family. Oh... I forgot. You've now become a fake daughter, right?
If a fake daughter is exposed with such explosive news, wouldn't your world fall apart all at once?"
A low laugh came from Wen Zhi's throat.
"Anyway, I'm just a worthless person now. Why don't you take a gamble with me?"
"You!"
Qi Siran took a step forward, wanting to slap Wen Zhi, but unexpectedly, Wen Zhi grabbed her wrist.
This time, Wen Zhi didn't tolerate her anymore.
"Slap—"
A clear sound of a slap echoed in the room.
Qi Siran covered her face and looked at Wen Zhi in disbelief.
Qi Siran never thought that Wen Zhi would actually dare to resist her!
Wen Zhi angrily threw her wrist aside and said coldly.
"Do you think I let you hit me before because I really couldn't fight back?
Qi Siran, you'd better remember what I've said to you.
Otherwise, we'll just go down together!"
