Provocative Fiery Wife: My Superior is an Affectionate Spitfire - Chapter 700
Chapter 700: When the stepmother is so strong, the birth father is now a stepfather.
“Dad, that woman’s child isn’t yours! She lied to us! She’s a terrible woman!”
This shout resonated in the quiet VIP ward.
Shocked by Qin Qitong’s words, the expressions of the few people in the room turned awful.
Ge Qing, who was in her husband’s arms, froze a little, but tears quickly welled up in her eyes.
“Hubby, I-I…” She sobbed helplessly, and as if she had suffered great injustice, her words broke and drifted.
“Tongtong must be misunderstanding me,” she said finally, her expression indignant.
Pei Ge was shocked by her actions.
She did not expect her to be this patient.
She could keep up the pretense even when her stepdaughter spoke to her in such a manner.
Compared to her perfect response, the girl’s reaction was just lacking.
“This woman, why are you still pretending? You dare to say that the child is my dad’s? Don’t think that no one knows about what you’ve done! I’m telling you! My—” Cousin is already looking into you!
She did not get to voice out everything as her father cut the rest of it off.
“Shut it, you evil girl! You killed your younger brother even before he was born. Your auntie doesn’t blame you, yet you dare come and speak ill of her like this?”
Pei Ge sighed to herself when she saw the anger on the girl’s father’s face.
Sigh… I now understand what people mean by ‘with a stepmother comes a stepfather’.
It was not that the father did not love his daughter any longer; rather, the stepmother was too evil, so the birth father was now more like a stepfather!
At least, that was the situation of this innocent girl.
“Dad, that child isn’t my younger brother! This promiscuous woman cheated on you!”
The girl cried, feeling much indignation for being reprimanded. Her eyes were wide with disgust for her stepmom.
Alas, not only did her father refuse to believe her words, he even became more incensed.
“Shut up! I’ve really spoiled you all these years! Just listen to what you’re saying!”
“Dad, I…”
She looked at her father indignantly; there were fresh tears in her eyes.
Before she could speak her mind, she was cut off by her brother.
A man in a black suit stepped into the VIP ward with a tired face.
“Qitong, why are you making a fuss again? Auntie Qing needs to rest now; you should get back home.” Qin Xiujin looked at her with deeply furrowed brows. His eyes were full of disappointment.
Looking at the man who had just entered the ward, Pei Ge quietly marveled at the genes of the Qin and Ji families.
All they produced were good-looking children.
This young man looked rather similar to his sister. At least, based on their eyes alone, it was clear that they were a pair of siblings.
However, because his features were quite angular, his beautiful eyes only looked charming and not feminine.
The mature and reliable aura of an individual in a position of power added to his looks.
Seeing this outstanding man before her, she was unable to believe that he would fall for a woman like Li Yumeng.
And be successfully deceived by her to boot! It didn’t make sense!
“Brother, you don’t believe me either?” Qin Qitong was made exasperated by her father. Now, her brother was reprimanding her the moment he walked in; she felt so wronged and very indignant.
Although he was still upset that his girlfriend was still recuperating in bed because of his sister, he still doted on this only sister of his.
Thus, when he saw that her eyes were swollen from crying, he was angry and pained.
His heart ached for how much his sister had cried, but at the same time, he was angry at her for her willfulness.
“Sigh…” he sighed, his gaze softening. “Tongtong, be a good girl and return home. If there’s anything, we can talk about it in a few days.”
“No, I refuse! None of you believe me; what kind of family are you? I never did anything. This woman and that other one fell down the stairs by themselves. Why are you all blaming it on me? Am I that bad in your eyes?”
Agitated by her two kin, she sobbed uncontrollably.
If it were before, the two men would be pained the moment she shed a tear and would rush to comfort her.
Now, the two, who had been brainwashed by their women, frowned with reproach at her nearly hysterical behavior.
They reflected on how much they had spoiled her over the years, which resulted in her becoming willful and arrogant.
Qin Qitong, whose eyes were flooded with tears, did not catch their expression, but Pei Ge, who was noncommittally standing next to her, saw everything clearly.
When she saw their censuring gazes, she pursed her lips, a light flashing in her clear eyes.
“Sobs… Why won’t you all believe me…”
Seeing this lass sob in despair next to her, she gently held her palm and raised her head to look at the two men.
“Uncle and big brother, hello; I’m Pei Ge, Qitong’s close friend.” She smiled at the two politely.
Only then did the two men take notice of her.
The moment they did, their expressions turned uglier.
Nobody liked washing their dirty linen in public, so when the girl’s father noticed her, he became upset. “Miss Pei, we’re dealing with a family matter now. You’re an outsider, so…”
She coldly curled up her lips when she heard that.
“Oh? Uncle, are you dealing with a family matter? I thought that you don’t regard her as your daughter anymore.”
Her sarcastic remark was not lost on the man, so his expression turned for the worse.
Alas, the two men did not expect her to be even more daring and brazenly say whatever was on her mind.
“Miss, there are things you can and cannot say!” The girl’s father stared coldly at her. Already in a bad mood because of what had happened at home, he lashed out at her.
“He he! Uncle, I’ve never said things that I can’t say.” She might be laughing, but her gaze had not once warmed.
“Just ask yourselves; have you both really treated Qitong as your family in this matter? I’m afraid that your thoughts have been taken over by the two evil women around you. How would you still have your family in mind?”
