Accompanied by her roar, Mr. Xia came over frowning and, after hearing Xia Xingcheng's words, reproached angrily, "You sinful daughter. I have raised you since your birth, yet not only have you stained our family’s reputation but now you even spout such thoroughly unpleasant and absurd words. You must contact Sheng Yeting right away, or there’s no way you’re getting out of this door!"

Xia Xingcheng's face was cold and she felt shocked that her once respected father would be so cruel to her. In recent days she never stopped thinking about running away, but she had failed several times. She was worried about Bao and could only say, "I have nothing to do with Sheng Yeting. We’re complete strangers. It's useless, even if you imprison here for a lifetime. Now let me go!"

Xia Xingyan immediately sneered at her, and the sarcasm in her eyes was clear. "I say, how can a person like Mr. Sheng fall for you?"

Xia Xingyan thought of the insults she and Xu Hao had suffered at the banquet that night and became even angrier. She sneered and then said, "At that time during the banquet, the reason he said something like that was only because he took pity on you and helped you out. You have nothing to rely on but still pretend that you do. Xia Xingcheng, you are really cheap!"

Xia Xingcheng looked angrily at her once-beloved sister. She bit her lip very hard, barely helping her to hold back the tears. As long as they could let her out, it didn’t matter if she was despised by them like this.

However, Xia Xingcheng had underestimated the cruelty of Mr. Xia and his family after all. Knowing what really happened between her and Sheng Yeting, aside from being angry, Mr. Xia had a back-up plan in his mind. He said coldly, "The little bastard better die outside. Should he come back, he would be nothing but a stain on my reputation. As for you, I'll marry you to the man named Qin and you’ll be set for life. And I don’t even expect you to thank me."

“Ha-ha!” Xia Xingcheng sneered and quivered all over. If she married that old man, would she have a single day of peace? They had really planned everything out for her and now only waited to see her become a laughing stock. No way!

“I won’t marry anybody! As you’ve already thrown me out. I have nothing to do with the Xia family anymore. How dare you use me like this! You are demons being reckless with greed! Let me out!” Xia Xingcheng tried her best to shake the iron gate. Looking at her father in front of her, she felt he was being very distant and cold.

She couldn’t wait to tear their faces up into pieces with her bare hands. She was tricked by Xia Xingyan which indeed stained the Xia family’s reputation, but Bao was innocent and they didn’t let a little child off. They were quite simply cold-blooded! If she wasn’t being locked up in the room, she would definitely do it, as she was so disappointed. The family she used to protect with her life and soul turned out to destroy her mercilessly in the end.

The sound of Xia Xingcheng shaking the iron gate made Mr. Xia frown and retreat several steps. He cast an impatient glance towards Xia Xingcheng, turned around and then left without a trace of emotion.

Xia Xingcheng lost her temper and hit the iron gate desperately. “Let me out. Let me out.”

Mr. Xia’s footsteps paused. He didn’t glance back at Xia Xingcheng behind him and talked by himself. “I’ve already promised to let Mr. Qin see you tomorrow. Stop your meaningless struggle, if you are the least bit sensible.”

With their footsteps dying away, Xia Xingcheng’s eyes were aflame with desperation. Her last effort and strength had been extracted from her soul and she collapsed on the floor. Thinking about Bao’s little childish face, she couldn’t help her tears. She swore that should anything happen to Bao, she would kill everyone involved in this and send them all to hell! For sure!

From the very beginning she should not have come back here! Every passing second was a torture to Xia Xingcheng. Nobody came to this room until the next morning.

Two huge guys came into the room and pulled her up without any pity and Xia Xingcheng hadn’t an ounce of strength to resist. She knew that she was going to see that Mr. Qin. Xia Xingcheng was looking over the situation and thinking that the moment she got the chance, she would run away.

Not long after, she was taken to a small banquet with people who were either rich or powerful scattered around her. Xia Xingcheng didn’t move but she was dragged by the two huge guys to see that Mr. Qin.

She was supposed to meet Mr. Qin so she had been changed and given a new hairstyle and makeup which made her originally pretty face even more charming and outstanding. Mr. Qin was charmed by her on the spot and praised her ceaselessly to Mr. Xia. “Mr. Xia, you are such a lucky father and two of young ladies are both so charming!”

While he was talking, his gaze never left Xia Xingcheng’s body and his vulgar looks made Xia Xingcheng start to feel sick. This man not only looked already in his late forties—being short, fat and his appearance very difficult to compliment—but his fierce looks showed that he was not a kind person. Xia Xingcheng turned away with a disgusted look but was then pressed down by the two bodyguards on the seat beside Mr. Qin.

Mr. Xia glared at Xia Xingcheng relentlessly and then smiled and flattered Mr. Qin hurriedly. “She’s spoiled, Sir. My elder daughter is nothing less than a willful little girl. It’s her honor to be selected by you.”

Mr. Qin was naturally very pleased by his words and even neglected to notice the trace of dislike in Xia Xingcheng’s gaze just now.

‘It is natural that women are coy, and all they need is a good lesson.’

Mr. Xia eyed Xia Xingcheng, seemingly warning her. “Don’t act dumb. Hurry up and make a toast to Mr. Qin.”

The server standing aside immediately filled Xia Xingcheng’s glass with wine but Xia Xingcheng seemed as though she were entering a state of meditation and didn’t even touch the wine.

Mr. Qin was on the edge of losing his composure. His eyes narrowed dangerously, and he said with a dry smile on his face, "Old Xia, I don't think Miss Xia is up for it."

Mr. Xia lost his smile for a moment. He secretly cursed that this sinful daughter was going to hinder his plan, however he could not let his rage out in front of Mr. Qin. He could merely put on another smile. "Please don’t mind my daughter’s behavior. She just recently returned home from abroad and is rather shy.”

Then Mr. Xia took up his glass and made a toast. “Mr. Qin. We’re family from now on and I’ll down this glass to show my respect.”

Mr. Qin’s composure was returning back to normal a little bit. He drank his wine to return the toast to Mr. Xia and then cast his gaze to Xia Xingcheng. His gaze seemed to say that he wouldn’t be satisfied unless he was stripping Xia Xingcheng right now. His stark looks made Xia Xingcheng disgusted in her heart.

Not far away sat Sheng Yeting who was discussing business with his friends and he happened to see this scene. Narrowing his eyes dangerously he thought what a coincidence it was to see this woman here, and it saved him the trouble of looking for her.
