She saw a white rag sitting by the side of a washing basin. The nanny must have been washing something here and hadn’t taken it away yet.
Yan Xin smiled, picked up the rag, and threw it at Yan Zhen’s crying face. “Haha, right, you said I was going to smash your leg. Come on, then.” In one fluid motion, she picked up the basin and poured dirty water on Yan Zhen.
“Ah, you crazy b*tch! I’ll call the cops on you! I’m going to…”Yan Zhen was stunned after being hit by the rag, and when the dirty water was about to hit her, she was going to avoid it, but for some reason, her body refused to move.
“Haha!” Yan Xin laughed, gleefully picking up the stone as she slowly headed upstairs, pushing Yan Zhen’s many curses to the back of her mind.
Besides, curses like those were nothing to her. She didn’t feel anything at all when she heard them.
Back in her bedroom, Yan Xin slowly took out the things in her big backpack. All of them were food items. After that, she held onto her cherry wood with both hands and quickly rotated it by the door and the window, then muttered some words before placing it by the door.
“Alright, now I can seal this room up properly.” She’d done this so that no one could disturb her anymore.
At the hospital.
“What are you doing? It’s not like I asked for you to be an illegitimate child. Even if you did kill me, do you think that would make you a legitimate child?” Liu Qingcang looked at Liu Ashe expressionlessly as the latter lay in bed, bandaged from head to toe.
Ashe let out a defiant humph in response, weak and unable to speak. There was a metal handcuff around the hand that didn’t have an I.V. inserted in it, firmly locking him to the bed and rendering him unable to escape.
Qingcang looked at the person in front of him and sighed. “Save your strength and take care of your body. Let’s see how many years you’ll be in there.” This was all that old man’s fault, and in the end, he had to bear the brunt of his mistakes.
“What kind of expression is that?” Ashe was on a ventilator and could not speak. He could only try his best to open his eyes and glare at Qingcang.
“Do you want to see Yan Xin?” Qingcang asked, but Ashe did not respond.
“Alright, then rest well. We’ll talk more when you’re better,” Qingcang said before leaving the room. He’d stayed behind to make sure that no one was pulling Ashe’s strings, but it seemed that this idiot was really stupid.
“Oh my God, that b*tch! You can’t let her go!” Yan Zhen howled back in their house. Yan Xin’s actions were akin to a slap in her face! Right now, she wanted nothing more than to chase her out.
“Shut up, that’s your sister.” It was at this moment that Father Yan happened to return to the house. The moment he entered the door, he heard Yan Zhen desperately throwing a fit.
“Dad, I’m your biological daughter, right? Why are you so biased? That b*tch is clearly here to break us apart! “Yan Zhen continued to shout.
“The Xie family has something to announce at the Pearl International Hotel in three days. Do you still want to participate?” Father Yan looked at his daughter, who was essentially just a pretty face, and frowned slightly.
“This…” Yan Zhen really wanted to participate, but her legs weren’t going to heal so quickly. Also, she had been humiliated not too long ago… To put it simply, she couldn’t imagine showing up in public now.
“If you don’t want to go, I’ll ask Yan Xin to go.” Father Yan clearly wanted Yan Xin to participate. The family’s resources were limited, so he could only support one person going. It would be too difficult for two to participate in the event.
Hearing that, Yan Yi shook her head. “No, Dad, I’ll go. I’m very familiar with Mingyu, so he should be happy if I show up,” she said confidently.
“Okay, then prepare well.”
Three days later, the Xie family’s banquet was scheduled to start at seven o’clock in the evening. Yan Xin woke up at seven in the morning.
“Ah, days like these are so cozy…” Her gaze drifted onto the black stone in front of her, and her eyes lit up at the sight.
For the past three days, using a small knife, she’d slowly been shaving off the outer shell of the stone, gradually revealing what it was supposed to look like. It was black like a zircon, but if she put it under the sunlight, she could clearly see how pure it was.
“I’ve succeeded. It seems that you’ve been preserved very well,” Yan Xin said as she smiled happily. In the process of shaving off the stone, she had also managed to cut out a few smaller pieces. This was because in her current state, she couldn’t absorb the stone’s magic energy in one go, so she could only absorb it in smaller fragments at a time.
Taking up a cloth, she covered up the big stone..
