A Big Shot's Woman Is Wild and Fierce-Chapter 1018 - 114: The Cruel Truth Crushes a Father
Chapter 1018: Chapter 114: The Cruel Truth Crushes a Father
After Chu Yunxuan left, only Wen Xin and Mr. Bai remained in the hospital room, with Moore following Chu Yunxuan out.
“Grandfather, do you know who wants to kill me?” Wen Xin originally didn’t want to get the Bai Family involved, but since Mr. Bai was already aware of this matter, she felt there was no need to hide anything anymore.
Wen Xin’s question made Mr. Bai inadvertently frown, as he harbored an unsettling thought that the person who attacked Wen Xin seemed to be related to him.
But he was certain that nobody close to him would ever harm Wen Xin, it was impossible for them to hurt her.
“It’s Madam Meng, your eldest daughter!”
Wen Xin said with a light laugh, looking at Mr. Bai, whose face turned to shock, a stark contrast to Wen Xin’s expression.
“Are you referring to that failure of a daughter? What exactly does she want to do?”
When Mr. Bai spoke of his eldest daughter, he felt a rush of frustration. He thought she had learned to behave since she hadn’t made any moves for so many years, but unexpectedly, she was capable of doing such a thing.
Seeing the anxious fury on Mr. Bai’s face, Wen Xin suddenly felt sympathetic and hesitated to share the results of her investigation with him, fearing he might die of rage upon learning about the deeds of Madam Meng.
Mr. Bai’s shrewd eyes met Wen Xin’s bright black ones, and he knew that when she brought up this matter, it certainly wasn’t just to inform him of the news; there had to be some hidden details.
“Wen Xin, if you have something to say, just tell me directly. Don’t worry about whether I can handle it. I’ve lived through many years already; there’s nothing I can’t accept now,” Mr. Bai said, looking at Wen Xin with a sense of bad foreboding in his heart. He had a faint feeling that the death of Wen Xin’s mother was somehow linked to her.
“Are you telling me that your parents’ cause of death is related to her?” Mr. Bai said, his hand trembling involuntarily as he gripped the bed curtain, sensing that he might have guessed the truth of the matter.
Wen Xin reached out and took Mr. Bai’s aged hand, gently squeezing it in reassurance.
“Grandfather, the truth has always been quite evident. If you can guess it, it means you’ve already come to such a realization in your heart, so the truth itself is not that important.”
Wen Xin couldn’t conceal the truth from the elder but didn’t want to upset him either, so she tried to speak as euphemistically as possible to make it easier for him to accept the situation.
“No, I want to know the truth. I want to know just how outrageous that failure of a daughter can be! I’ve always known she was jealous of your mother, but I never imagined she would actually harm her own younger sister. How could she be so monstrously heartless!” Mr. Bai uttered, clutching his chest. When he learned of Wen Xin’s incident, he had a bad feeling, similar to the one he had when her mother’s incident occurred.
He had already lost a daughter and couldn’t let that wretched woman harm the daughter of his daughter. Now, even if it cost him his life, he would not let her go unpunished.
“Grandfather, you mustn’t get agitated now. You are my support in Independent State. With you here, I have the courage to confront those people. You mustn’t fall ill!”
Observing Mr. Bai’s pale complexion, Wen Xin placed her fingers on his wrist, checking the elderly man’s condition.
Only after confirming that his condition was still under control did Wen Xin slowly release a breath of relief. She certainly didn’t want the few family members she had left to suffer any more mishaps.
Wen Xin took the elder’s hand, asking him to calm his mind, before she extracted a document from beneath her pillow.
“Grandfather, this document contains information about all the things Madam Meng has done over the years. Her involvement with my parents’ death is undeniable; it was she who gave the research institute’s direction and materials to those people.”
Wen Xin had not yet discovered how Madam Meng had obtained those documents, but it was clear she played a significant role.
Mr. Bai’s trembling hands accepted the documents Wen Xin handed over. He had never imagined the truth to be so cruel.
For a moment, he couldn’t bring himself to open the document, fearing his moment of weakness might have caused his second daughter’s death.
Mr. Bai clutched the document tightly, his once sharp eyes now dull and tinged with redness.
“Xin girl, you might not have heard about the resentments between your mother and her sister, no, she should not be called a sister—the Madam Meng—between them.”
Wen Xin did not want the elder to recall those painful memories of the past. Holding Mr. Bai’s hand, she shook her head, “Grandfather, the past doesn’t matter anymore. What’s important is that I need your stance.”
Looking at the old man, Wen Xin suddenly felt a pang of cruelty. She did not want to force him to make such a decision at his age, but if she did nothing, she couldn’t face her parents.
“Don’t worry about me. Whatever you want to do, you should do it. She has done so many bad things, and she must give an explanation to those she has harmed.”
In that instant, Mr. Bai seemed to age considerably.
“Xin girl, after you’ve taken care of everything, let me see her. I just want to ask her why she hated your mother so much. Your mother was so kind; why did she conspire to lead her own sister to death?”
In the Meng Clan’s living room.
Wei Manqing and Mu Chengxu were brought in by several men in black, finally meeting the host of the place on their third day there.
“Madam Mu and Miss Mu, please wait here, our matriarch will be out shortly.”
Mu Chengxu gripped Wei Manqing’s hand tightly, shielding her behind him, poised to protect Madam Mu.
“Aunt, sister, it’s been such a long time since we last met…”
Just then, a clear voice came from upstairs. Mu Chengxu and Wei Manqing’s heads shot up at the sound, their eyes filled with astonishment upon seeing the person descending the stairs.
“Wei Shisheng, what are you doing here? And what is this place?”
The moment Wei Manqing saw Wei Shisheng, the surprise in her eyes quickly faded, replaced by joy. Encountering a familiar face here was a delightful surprise for her.

Seeing Wei Manqing’s excited demeanor, the corners of Wei Shisheng’s mouth turned up slightly in a mocking smile.
“Aunt, you don’t know where this is? This is the Independent State, a place beyond the reach of most. You didn’t expect it, did you? You never thought you’d have the chance to come here.”
The smile on Wei Shisheng’s lips gradually disappeared, replaced instead by a sinister grin.
