The real heiress's disguise has been exposed, making her the most beloved member of Beijing

"It's just a poison for which only I have the antidote. Don't worry, this poison won't kill you; it will just cause you excruciating pain when it takes effect," Jiang Youli said casually. "As long as you behave well and listen to me from now on, I can give you the antidote regularly. Otherwise, you'll just have to endure the pain of the poison taking effect all the time."

Hearing this, Jiang Xing didn't believe it. "I've never heard of such a potent poison..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Youli snapped her fingers, and his internal organs felt as if they were being torn apart, causing him excruciating pain.

After the pain subsided, Jiang Xing became utterly dejected.

He gritted his teeth, looking at Jiang Youli with anger but daring not to speak out.

It seemed that his life was truly in Jiang Youli's hands! Thinking of this, Jiang Xing closed his eyes in despair.

Jiang Youli clapped her hands. "Jiang Xing is seriously injured right now, so it's impossible to send him back to the Jiang family directly. Keep him with you for now, and I'll take him away tomorrow."

"can."

Qi Huan raised her hand, signaling Cheng Jing to move the person to the car.

Following instructions, Cheng Jing walked over to Jiang Xing, bent down, scooped him up, and carried him out of the abandoned factory.

As for the four bodyguards Jiang Xing brought, Cheng Jing also had them taken away.

The abandoned factory was now empty except for Jiang Youli and Qi Huan.

"Now that no one's bothering us, tell me about your situation." Jiang Youli was very interested in Qi Huan.

Qi Huan laughed and said, "Okay, but this place is a bit of a mood killer. Let me take you to a quieter place."

“Okay,” Jiang Youli readily agreed.

……

The quiet place Qi Huan mentioned was a remote suburb.

Nestled against the mountains and beside the water, with a babbling brook.

Not far from the stream, there is also a pavilion.

"You didn't build this pavilion too, did you?" Jiang Youli sat down against the stone pillar of the pavilion, enjoying the evening breeze, and stretched comfortably.

Qi Huan nodded, "Yes, sometimes when I'm in a bad mood, I come here to sit for a while."

"What could you possibly be upset about when your legs weren't crippled? You came from a wealthy family and lived a carefree life. You're probably just worried about having too much money and nowhere to spend it," Jiang Youli said, turning her head to tease the man beside the stone table.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the man's handsome face, casting a faint golden glow on his profile that was breathtaking.

Qi Huan was amused by her words, "Indeed, my life used to be smooth sailing, and I never experienced any setbacks. The only thing that bothered me was that my performance at the company did not meet my expectations."

At this point, he sighed slightly and said with a bitter smile, "Until this accident, when I broke both my legs, everything around me seemed to change."

"All the respect and care that used to surround me has vanished, replaced by schadenfreude and avoidance."

"When I see those people smiling at me now, it always feels so fake."

Jiang Youli shrugged. "It's normal. When a person falls from a high place to the bottom, all the kindness from before seems to disappear suddenly, and most of what remains is people kicking them when they're down. It's at this time that true friendship can be shown in times of trouble, which is truly precious."

Qi Huan turned to look at her, "For example, you? While others were avoiding me, you were willing to accept me."

Jiang Youli was taken aback. "Me?"

She chuckled, "I wouldn't say I'm offering help in your time of need, but rather that it's mutually beneficial. I'm attracted to your beauty, and you happen to be able to give me that."

At this point, she stood up, leaned closer to Qi Huan, and squatted down. "Let me see what's wrong with your leg."

Qi Huan joked, "I should be glad that I lost both legs instead of my face."

Jiang Youli rolled up his trouser legs and began to examine the injuries on his legs. "That makes sense."

Qi Huan chuckled softly and began to recount her experiences in detail.

From Qi Huan, Jiang Youli learned the reason why his legs were crippled.

The Qi family is large and prosperous.

His father alone had seven brothers and sisters.

His father, Qi Tianxiang, was the youngest and also the least successful in the Qi family, and was looked down upon by his other siblings from a young age.

It wasn't until Qi Huan grew older and her talent gradually became apparent, far surpassing her siblings of the same generation and gaining the old man's appreciation, that Qi Tianxiang's status in the family improved.

“I have a younger brother who is five years younger than me. Not long after he was born, a fortune teller told my grandfather that my brother would affect the fortune of the Qi family. My grandfather made a tough decision and sent my brother away against my mother’s wishes.”

"As for where to send him, no one except my grandfather and father knew. After my brother was sent away, my mother was depressed all day long and soon passed away from illness. I gained my grandfather's approval and appreciation through my abilities, so I took the opportunity to ask him to bring my brother back. My grandfather agreed and brought my brother Qi Yue back three years ago. With him, his sister Qi Yu, who was also in the orphanage, also came back to the Qi family."

"Although Qi Yu is not my biological sister, I think about how she has been by my brother's side all these years. I love her so much that I also treat her like my own sister. Last month, she was kidnapped, and the kidnappers only asked me to go and ransom her alone."

Hearing this, Jiang Youli's heart skipped a beat, and she raised an eyebrow, saying, "You can't be that stupid as to really go and redeem someone all by yourself, can you?"

Qi Huan nodded with a wry smile and said, "Yes, of course I wouldn't really go alone, so I had already arranged for people to follow me secretly, but I never expected that my plan would be discovered by the other party."

Jiang Youli frowned and asked, "Was the secret leaked?"

Qi Huan continued, "At that time, I didn't have time to think about whether someone had leaked the information. All I could think about was how to rescue Qi Yu, so I didn't care about anything else. In the end, I chose to go alone to ransom her. It was at that abandoned factory today. They didn't kill me right away. Instead, they broke both my legs and threw me aside. Fortunately, Cheng Jing arrived in time with his men, and that's how we were successfully rescued."

After hearing this, Jiang Youli was filled with doubts. She raised her question: "Judging from this, it seems that the other party came specifically for you. What were the results of the investigation?"

"At the time, I suspected that someone close to me had leaked the information, but I never expected that the person who orchestrated this whole thing might actually be my own brother, Qi Yue." At this point, Qi Huan's smile finally turned bitter. "At first, I really didn't know why Qi Yue would do this, but for the past month, I've locked myself in my room day and night and thought about it, and I think I've figured it out."

Jiang Youli guessed it, "Your younger brother Qi Yue is resentful, thinking, why can you live a life of luxury in the Qi family, while he has to grow up in an orphanage?"

"Hmm, perhaps he thinks all the suffering he's endured over the years is my fault." Qi Huan said, then looked down at her legs and smiled. "Tell me, should I take revenge on my own brother?"
