“It’s cold… So cold…”
Yu Xue was jolted awake, finding herself lying on a freezing, hard concrete floor, her hands and feet tightly bound. A towel was stuffed in her mouth, preventing her from making a sound.
She struggled to recall the events of the day. This morning, she had gone to the hospital for a check-up, and as soon as she stepped out of the hospital, several strangers had forcibly shoved her into a car. After that, everything went black.
Who had kidnapped her?
At that moment, footsteps echoed through the silence, each step resonating sharply in the stillness. Yu Xue felt a surge of panic, her eyes fixed on the direction of the sound, filled with fear and unease.
The lights flickered on, blinding her with their intensity. Yu Xue squinted against the sudden brightness as a familiar shrill voice pierced through the air.
“Dear sister, we meet again.”
Yu Lingwei’s beautiful face appeared before her, but it looked grotesque, as if possessed by a demon. “Don’t glare at me; this is what your family owes me!”
“Mmm—” With the towel stuffed in her mouth, Yu Xue could only emit muffled sounds of anger and resentment.
Yu Lingwei removed the towel from her mouth. Yu Xue flexed her sore jaw and managed a mocking smile. “Aren’t you part of the Yu Family?”
“Of course not! When Yu Zhengtian raped my mother, she was already pregnant with me. That old fool actually thought I was his daughter—how ridiculous…” A cold smile crept across Yu Lingwei’s lips, filled with hatred and disdain.
Yu Xue stared in shock, her eyes wide. “You’re not Dad’s biological daughter?”
"Didn’t see this coming, did you?" Yu Lingwei let out a crisp laugh that echoed eerily in the empty space, making it sound particularly sinister. "The one he loved most in his life is actually someone else's daughter, while he completely ignores his own flesh and blood. How ridiculous!"
Yu Xue felt the sting of her words, anger bubbling up inside her as she gritted her teeth and spat out two words: "Shameless!"
"Am I shameless? Do you even know how my mother died? She was hit by a car, that vehicle ran right over her. Do you have any idea what that scene was like?"
Yu Lingwei's hands began to tremble slightly, her eyes filled with deep pain and hatred. "I was just a child then, all I could do was sit there and watch her lifeless body while I cried…"
A wave of nausea washed over Yu Xue, mixed with shock at the realization of how tragically her mother had died.
"Do you know who the killer was? It was your ever-so-elevated mother! She sent someone to run my mother down!" Yu Lingwei's voice turned sharp and terrifying, like a demon from hell roaring in fury.
"My mother has already passed away from cancer…"
"What does cancer matter?!" Yu Lingwei scoffed disdainfully. "Why should my mother die in a bloody mess on the street while yours passed away peacefully in a luxury care room…?"
"But even until my mother closed her eyes, my father never came to see her once…" Yu Xue felt a wave of sorrow wash over her and suddenly remembered something, asking nervously, "Where is Dad?"
Yu Lingwei paused for a moment before bursting into cruel laughter, filled with satisfaction. "If Yu Zhengtian saw you acting so filial right now, I wonder if he would care for you a bit more. Too bad—" She deliberately elongated the last word, relishing the terror in Yu Xue's eyes.
"What happened to him?"
Although her father had always been indifferent towards Yu Xue throughout her life, he had never been stingy when it came to providing for her needs.
"With age, one's hands and feet become less nimble. Just a few days ago, he seemed to have 'accidentally' rolled down the stairs..." Yu Lingwei said with a smile at the corner of her mouth, her tone dismissive. That smile was like the venom of a snake, sending chills down one's spine.
"You—" Yu Xue's heart was filled with a mix of sorrow and anger. "He cared for you so much; do you feel nothing for him?!"
"All I know is that he raped my mother and drove my father to his death. Now, I want him to experience the taste of losing everything!" The more Yu Lingwei spoke, the more agitated she became, her face contorting into a grotesque mask, her voice turning sinister and terrifying as if consumed entirely by hatred.
"No, please, spare my father!" Yu Xue's lips trembled slightly, her eyes filled with pleading and despair.
Yu Lingwei stepped in front of Yu Xue and kicked her hard in the abdomen with her high heels. The pain pierced through her like a blade, causing Yu Xue to involuntarily let out a muffled groan.
"Aren't you the one with the most backbone? Who would have thought you'd be begging me like a dog."
As the excruciating pain surged through her, Yu Xue's hands were bound, leaving her unable to resist. She could only grit her teeth and endure until she gradually succumbed to the darkness…
