The Counterattack of a Wealthy Family's Substitute

Xu Xinya was released from the detention center three days later.

He Qinfang came to pick her up. When she saw her, she immediately ran towards her, her eyes red, and hugged her: "Ya Ya, it's okay, it's okay, let's go home!"

"Go home?" Xu Xinya murmured the two words, sneered, pushed He Qinfang away, and walked expressionlessly to the car and got in.

He Qinfang noticed Xu Xinya's coldness, her smile froze, and she stood there somewhat at a loss.

Seeing He Qinfang standing motionless, Xu Xinya sneered and said, "Didn't you say you were going home?"

Upon hearing this, He Qinfang immediately smiled, said "Go home," and quickly got into the car.

Upon returning to the Xu family villa, Xu Xinya went straight to her room. He Qinfang followed behind, only to be turned away at the door.

Three days is enough time for Xu Xinya to calm down, think about her family, Yao Yingxi, and how to take revenge.

She stood in front of the bathroom mirror, looking at the scabbed wound on her forehead, and a smile tugged at the corner of her mouth.

Xu Xinya took a bath and came out of the bathroom looking much better.

She changed into her pajamas and lay in bed to sleep. He Qinfang woke her up when she knocked on the bedroom door. Xu Xinya opened the door with a cold face, and He Qinfang's face appeared before her.

He Qinfang forced a smile, but her eyes were red. When she spoke, her voice was choked with emotion: "Ya Ya, Mom wants to talk to you."

Xu Xinya looked at her, a sarcastic smile playing on her lips: "What are we talking about? How did you manage to get me into someone else's bed?"

"Mom?" Xu Xinya called out to He Qinfang, her voice hoarse and trembling with tears, "Are you even my real mother? You personally sent me to someone else's bed!"

For five whole days, from the night Xiang Rui raped her until now, Xu Xinya hadn't shed a single tear. But now, looking at He Qinfang, the woman who had always loved her so much, she could no longer hold back her tears.

He Qinfang started crying from the moment Xu Xinya uttered her first word, and even when she covered her mouth tightly with her hands, she couldn't stop the sobs from pouring out.

"Daughter, I'm sorry, Mom is so sorry!" He Qinfang cried, wanting to go forward and hug Xu Xinya, but Xu Xinya's extremely cold expression stopped her.

No mother can see her child hate her without feeling heartbroken. He Qinfang's voice was filled with pain as she looked at Xu Xinya and cried, "But you know, Mom had no choice."

“We can’t afford to offend Xi Yuanchen. Yao Yingxi hates our whole family. She has Xi Yuanchen backing her up. We have no other choice but to marry Xiang Rui. I know that your father and I drugged you. You will hate us. But Ya Ya, have you ever thought that if Yao Yingxi is determined to destroy our family, then marrying into the Xiang family is the only way you can be safe?”

From Xu Hengyuan's perspective, he married Xu Xinya to Xiang Rui for personal gain, but from He Qinfang's perspective, she genuinely wanted what was best for Xu Xinya.

The Xiang family's background is similar to that of the Xu family, but the Xiang family has better connections in Yuncheng. Therefore, even if the Xu family is destroyed, the Xiang family will protect Xu Xinya for Xiang Rui's sake.

“Daughter, believe your mother.” He Qinfang held Xu Xinya’s hand and used the other hand to wipe away her tears. “Maybe I did something wrong, but I really did it for your own good.”

Even knowing that He Qinfang did it for her sake, Xu Xinya couldn't accept the fact that He Qinfang had drugged her and herself. Besides, she knew in her heart that they did this mostly for Hengyuan's benefit.

He Qinfang gave birth to her, raised her, and provided her with the best food, clothing, and daily necessities from a young age. She even loved her more than she loved herself. Xu Xinya could not convince herself to forgive them.

The images of being assaulted and the past few days in prison kept replaying in Xu Xinya's mind, filling her heart and eyes with hatred.

Xu Xinya wiped away her tears, pulled her hand away from He Qinfang's grasp, took a step back, and looked at her coldly: "You can leave now. Let me be alone for a while."

Xu Xinya's indifference felt like a thousand needles piercing He Qinfang's heart, but she knew that the knot between her and her daughter could not be untied so easily.

He Qinfang took a deep breath, wiped away her tears, and controlled her emotions: "Okay, but Mom wants to tell you that your father will be off work soon. No matter how much you hate us, you must remember to be patient for now."

"The reason you were able to get out unharmed this time is because your father promised Xi Yuanchen that he would give Yao Yingxi 20% of the profits from Project A as compensation."

After He Qinfang finished speaking, she looked at Xu Xinya and turned to leave.

"Twenty percent profit..." Xu Xinya looked at the closed door, muttering He Qinfang's words, and then spoke with hatred in her eyes: "Yao Yingxi, Xi Yuanchen, you ruined my life!"

Xu Hengyuan usually appears gentle and refined, but once he drinks, his inherent violent desires come out.

When He Qinfang received the call from Xiao Li saying that Xu Hengyuan was drunk, a sense of fear welled up in her heart. However, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go downstairs to wait for Xu Hengyuan.

When He Qinfang took Xu Hengyuan from Xiao Li, he slapped her.

Xu Hengyuan stared at her with bloodshot eyes, raised his leg, and kicked He Qinfang in the stomach again, saying in a gloomy tone, "You two have squandered hundreds of millions of my money, mother and daughter. I'll beat you to death!"

"Ah!" He Qinfang was kicked several times in succession, and the last kick hit her ribs, causing her to cry out in pain.

When Xu Xinya came downstairs, this was the scene she saw.

He Qinfang curled up on the floor, and Xu Hengyuan kicked her mercilessly, one kick after another, as if kicking a stone.

Xu Xinya's eyes instantly reddened, and she stepped forward and shoved Xu Hengyuan away: "If you hit my mother again, I'll fight you to the death!"

Xu Hengyuan was drunk and already unsteady, so when Xu Xinya pushed him, he stumbled and fell to the floor.

“Yaya…”

When He Qinfang went to stop Xu Xinya, Xu Hengyuan had already been pushed down by her.

Xu Xinya squatted down and saw He Qinfang's swollen and red face. Her eyes instantly welled up with tears.

"Damn it! How dare you push me!" Xu Hengyuan snapped out of his daze, stood up from the floor, grabbed a vase, and angrily prepared to smash it over Xu Xinya's head.

He Qinfang's pupils contracted, she pushed Xu Xinya away, and tightly hugged Xu Hengyuan's hand holding the vase, crying, "Hengyuan, don't hit her, this is Xiaoya, our daughter."

How could you hit her so hard?

"That's what I'm going to do!" Xu Hengyuan tried to pull his hand away from He Qinfang's grasp, but couldn't. He then kicked her again, yelling, "You made me lose five hundred million for nothing!"

"If you kill me, it won't just be a loss of 500 million." Xu Xinya suddenly spoke, looking at Xu Hengyuan with a cold smile, and said, word by word, "Without me, how can you expect the Xiang family to survive?"
