Chapter 202 - She’s Not Even Your Daughter (2)
Wang Peilan was taken aback, while Xi Qian's father's expression was darkened by Su Xiaofei's words. They had never thought that someone would criticize them and would point out their plans in broad daylight.
Listening to Su Xiaofei's words, Headmistress Yan could conclude that Xi Qian's parents were a pair of shameless couple who only remembered Xi Qian's existence because of money and that they had essentially abandoned her, especially when she needed help.
Headmistress Yan scowled as she thought about it. Indeed, she knew that Xi Qian was close to Su Xiaofei, and it had been a surprise to her when she found out that these two really get along despite the contrast in their attitudes.
One was a gentle mannered child, while the other was an ill-tempered young miss who sought trouble left, right and centre. However, as Su Xiaofei called out Xi Qian's parents for their irresponsible behavior, the old woman was willing to let Su Xiaofei off the hook this time, as long as she didn't go overboard.
"Xi Qian has indeed sold her place, so what? What does it have anything to do with you? The property was under her name and her grandmother left it to her because neither of her parents even bothered to check on her to see if she was still alive, let alone her welfare."
Su Xiaofei was really annoyed with Xi Qian's parents. Even when she had met them in the past, they looked at Xi Qian as if she was a stain and a mistake they had made in their lives. Xi Qian never asked them to give birth to her.
Why was it that a child had to suffer just because their parents had them without even seriously considering if they were ready to raise a child and to be responsible for them? As for Xi Qian, why did she have to endure the sufferings while her parents were living leisurely somewhere else?
"As for you, Mr. Xi, you should be thankful that Xi Qian isn't suing you for neglecting her. What would the Dragon Emissary do if we file a complaint against you?" Su Xiaofei's whole body was trembling from rage.
"Feifei…" Xi Qian looked at her best friend with worry. Her eyes stung with tears as she remembered the hardships she had to endure in the past and how she felt betrayed by her own parents.
"Do you know that abandoning a minor is punishable by law? Then to even put her in harm's way by paying a stranger to harass her… Madam, you really have the guts to dare to harm our Qian."
Wang Peilan panicked when she heard those words.
Impossible! How did this young woman find out it was her?!
"Su Xiaofei, what are you trying to say?" Headmistress Yan narrowed her eyes dangerously. "Are you aware that this is a serious accusation?"
"E-en! You have to be lying! I have no idea what the hell are you talking about! It's understandable that you are still young, but you can't slander anyone like this!" Wang Peilan stuttered, although her heartbeat had already picked up and sweat started to form at the side of her face, despite the room being air-conditioned.
Su Xiaofei chuckled darkly and sighed. Did Wang Peilan think she could easily threaten her with empty words? She, who had experienced a harsher verbal war against other people in her past life?
"If Madam feels like she's being wronged, please, do sue me for libel." She patted her chest lightly, giving the other woman a mocking smile. "In return, we will also file cases against you and your husband. Do you think Su Xiaofei, the granddaughter of the esteemed General Yun, would turn a blind eye while Xi Qian is being bullied by her stepmother?"
Wang Peilan's face turned ashen. Did this young woman say that she was the granddaughter of a military general? Since when did this pathetic stepdaughter of hers gain such a strong backing like this? She had seen Su xiaofei in the past, and although she knew that this young woman was an heiress, she never thought that she had such an outstanding background.
Su Xiaofei wasn't really planning to drag the Yun family in this, however, as the villainess everyone deemed her to be, how can she not take advantage of the resources she had at her disposal?
Even when Xi Qian was working as a private nurse in Su Xiaofei's previous life, this pair of shameless couples continued to bother her, asking her for money.
"You are such a shameless girl! Why are you slandering us like this? We only came to see Xi Qian and to find out where she currently lives. She moved out from her place without informing anyone." Wang Peilan countered. She refused to back down in front of Su Xiaofei.
It didn't matter what this young woman said, so long as they would be able to persuade Xi Qian to give them the money they wanted. Xi Qian obviously hated arguing with anyone, especially with her parents, so in order to avoid trouble, she would always give in to her elders.
It was just that Wang Peilan hadn't expected that Xi Qian would refuse them today.
"I troubled Headmistress Yan today. I'm deeply sorry." Xi Qian gave Headmistress Yan a polite bow before turning to her father and stepmother.
"Sorry, Dad. It's true, I already sold the place, and I've moved out to give way for the company to start their preparation. As for the money, it's mine alone. You can contest it in court, however, don't expect that I will back down. I will sue you and Mom for neglecting my needs over the years." She said in a cold voice.
If she didn't make a stand today, she knew this would happen again.
"I will also sue Aunt Peilan for instigating to harm me. We have collected the evidence to prove this accusation.. I hope Aunt Peilan is also ready to serve jail time, away from my little brother and sister in the future."
