Chapter 1: Just a Foster Daughter
Chapter 1: Just a Foster Daughter
The weather in Ice City in April was still cold. Large snowflakes fell from the sky. Wen Xin came out of the hospital and gently pulled on her scarf, burying her fair chin in it.
The phone in her pocket vibrated gently. Wen Xin frowned slightly and took out the phone from her pocket. She tapped it and a photo of a man and a woman together appeared on the screen.
She turned off the phone and a glint flashed across her cold and determined eyes. She put the phone back in her pocket and walked towards the bus stop by the roadside.
After getting off the bus, Wen Xin walked on the thick snow. There was a creaking sound under her feet, and the deserted street became even quieter.
Wen Xin walked into the Geng family manor villa and stood at the entrance. Before she could enter, she heard Geng Qiu's sarcastic voice in the living room.
"Father, Wen Xin is not your biological daughter. Mother had no choice but to bring her back. It's already a blessing for her to be raised in the Geng family. Why should you give her the chance to marry into the Zhao family!"
"I don't care. I grew up with Brother Yuzheng…"
"Dad, are you listening to me? Hurry up and chase her out. Anyway, I've already recovered. I don't need her at all!"
"You don't have to worry about Mommy. Mommy doesn't like her anyway. Mommy will definitely agree!"
Geng Qiu knew very well that if it weren't for Wen Xin being able to donate her liver, her mother wouldn't have brought Wen Xin back.
She disliked Wen Xin. Wen Xin was just too eye-catching in appearance. Every time she appeared, she would draw everyone's attention. Even if she had no other merits, her looks and temperament were enough to overshadow others.
Sitting silently on the sofa, Geng Shikui sighed softly. Geng Qiu's words had hit the nail on the head. He did not agree to the marriage between Wen Xin and the Zhao family, but for some reason, the old matriarch of the Zhao family had taken a liking to Wen Xin.
If Wen Xin were to leave now, it would indeed save him a lot of trouble.
"Alright, then let her leave when she comes back. Anyway, her attitude towards our family is neither warm nor cold. After all, she's not really close to us!"
Standing outside the door, Wen Xin, listened to the conversation between the father and daughter. Her beautiful thin lips curled up slightly, and a hint of mockery flashed in her cold eyes. It seemed that whatever she had prepared was unnecessary.
Wen Xin had been able to come to the Geng Family at the request of the Geng Family due to their begging and fawning. Their attitude wasn't like this when they wanted her to donate her liver.
As expected, when she had no more value to be exploited, they just wanted to kick her away.
Coincidentally, this was what she needed.
Gently pushing open the door, Wen Xin walked into the villa as if nothing had happened. She glanced at the father and daughter sitting on the sofa, then headed upstairs without looking back.
"Stop right there!"
"Wen Xin, where is your upbringing gone? Grandma praises you all day long for being obedient and sensible. Are you so obedient and sensible? Can't you see Daddy here? Aren't you going to greet him?"
Excitedly, Geng Qiu stood up from the sofa. The thought of being able to chase Wen Xin out of the house today and be with Brother Yuzheng made it hard for her to contain the excitement in her heart.
Wenxin halted her steps and lifted her hand to pull her down her puffy coat's hood. A fair and cool small face emerged, and her eyes, tinged with a chill, appeared even deeper and darker.
"Uncle!" Wen Xin stopped and looked sideways at the man sitting on the sofa with a cold expression. Her dark eyes were frighteningly cold.
If Geng Qiu hadn't mentioned her grandmother, Wen Xin could have lived in peace with these people. But Geng Qiu just had to mention her grandmother at this time. She couldn't suppress the impatience within her.
