Chapter 5: The Scar on Her Face
The night was as dark as ink, seemingly concealing a terrifying beast.
Qin Xi was solely focused on Ning Bao's safety, her mind blank as she mechanically drove to the abandoned factory where Qin Madam had been.
She stumbled out of the car and opened the door, only to see Qin Madam sitting on a stool, flanked by two menacing figures.
"Where is Ning Bao? What have you done to him?" Qin Xi rushed forward, attempting to grab Qin Madam, but was violently kicked away by a bodyguard, pain flashing across her face.
Qin Madam wore a cruel and triumphant smile. "Don't worry, your and Mu Jinhang's little bastard is just fine. But if you don't behave and listen to me, I can't guarantee his safety!"
"What do you want? If you're seeking revenge for Qin Zhiruo, come at me! The child is innocent!" Qin Xi's emotions surged, her body trembling uncontrollably. Her nails dug into her palm, yet she felt no pain.
Ning Bao was her life; she could not let anything happen to him!
Seeing Qin Xi's anxious demeanor only made Qin Madam's smile more vicious. She slapped Qin Xi hard across the face. "Innocent? My daughter was innocent too! Why didn't you die in that earthquake? You come back and shamelessly seduce men, forcing the Mu Family and the Qin Family to break off the engagement! If it weren't for you, how could such a kind child as Qin Zhiruo have taken such risks and ended up in the police station?"
"I didn't seduce anyone..." Qin Xi collapsed onto the ground, her cheek swollen, her fair skin marred by alarming streaks of blood.
Qin Madam glared at her face with a dark and venomous gaze. "That face of yours looks just like your dead biological mother’s—it's ruined men!"
Crash!
Qin Madam threw a sharp knife in front of Qin Xi. “If you want me to spare that wretched child, you’d better make your face look presentable by cutting it until I’m satisfied, until you can no longer seduce any man!”
“Are you saying that if I disfigure my face, you will let Ning Bao go?”
“Yes!” Qin Madam's face twisted with madness. “I want to see how Mu Jinhang will marry you after you ruin your looks. Even if you have his child, he won’t look at you again. At that point, our Qin Family will take Qin Zhiruo out from within, and the Mu Family and Qin Family will still unite through marriage!”
Qin Xi bit her lip hard, trembling as she reached for the knife.
As the cold blade barely grazed her skin, Qin Xi instinctively shut her eyes and gritted her teeth, ready to make the cut!
“Stop!” A chill swept through the room, accompanied by a deep and urgent voice. The knife was suddenly wrenched from Qin Xi’s hand.
Mu Jinhang tightly embraced Qin Xi, his gaze fixed intensely on Qin Madam. “The engagement is mine to dissolve; it has nothing to do with Qin Xi.”
Seeing Mu Jinhang burst through the door, Qin Madam was momentarily taken aback but quickly became furious. “Mu Jinhang, you’ve betrayed my daughter and sent her to the police station; may you suffer for it!”
Consumed by hatred, she had forgotten her earlier intention of rescuing Qin Zhiruo from prison before marrying Mu Jinhang.
Now, watching how concerned Mu Jinhang was for Qin Xi while remembering her beloved daughter suffering in prison, Qin Madam’s teeth ground together in fury. “Very well! If you care so much for this wretched girl, then you can personally mar her face!”
“Impossible!” Mu Jinhang stood up, his tall figure imposing and radiating an aura of coldness that made others tremble.
A flicker of fear crept into Qin Madam’s heart, but recalling the two bodyguards beside her, she venomously declared, “It seems that for this wretched girl, you’re willing to forsake your own child. Hmph! Do you believe I can have someone chop off that wretched child's fingers one by one right now?”
