Chapter 15: Threatening Her

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Grandpa, it’s time for lunch.” Qin Yue quickly reminded her grandfather when she saw his gentle attitude.

What if Shi Tao pretended to be pitiful and made Grandpa sympathize with her so that she could get up? She did not want this woman to get away with the punishment so easily.

Old Master Qin’s three meals were all on time. In order to wait for Shi Tao, not only did he not eat breakfast, but he also missed lunch. Thinking of this, Old Master Qin’s expression turned ugly again.

Shi Tao looked up at the beautiful woman who was laughing secretly in the corner. She clenched his fists tightly. This woman did it on purpose.

“Grandpa, I’m sorry to have made you wait for so long. Go and eat first.”

Old Master Qin ignored her and walked out of the house.

When She heard the sound of the wheelchair behind her getting further and further away, Shi Tao looked confused. Men were indeed unreliable.

Shi Tao was wearing a simple and elegant white dress. She had specially chosen it to impress Grandpa Qin. It was dignified and elegant, but now that she was kneeling on the floor covered with a layer of fluffy carpet, Shi Tao felt that she had miscalculated.

It was so painful. If she had known that this would happen today, she would have worn a knee brace. Even though she felt unbearable pain after kneeling for a while, Shi Tao did not dare to move. Who knew if there were surveillance cameras in this place? If she made any more mistakes, she would really be done for.

Just as Shi Tao was thinking about what to do next, a pair of stilettos appeared in her line of sight. This pair of shoes was one of the most popular luxury items of the season. Shi Tao also had one, but something had happened to her family before she could wear it at home, so she could only sell it at a low price for her emergency services.

Clap clap clap.

Shi Tao was about to raise her head when someone threw a handful of melon seeds at her head. It did not hurt, but it was insulting. Shi Tao clenched her fists tightly and looked up with a pained expression. In front of her was Second Miss Qin, who was standing high above her.

“Shi Tao, Shi Tao, you’re really capable. Your family has already gone bankrupt, yet you still managed to marry into our Qin family. However, that’s all you’ve done. It’s only your first day in the family, yet you made Grandfather wait so long for you.” Qin Yue placed her hands on her hips and mocked Shi Tao.

She was wearing the latest orange dress from an international brand and had exquisite makeup on her face. She looked extremely bright and lively, a stark contrast to Shi Tao, who was kneeling on the ground in misery.

“It’s indeed my fault for making Grandfather wait for so long, but I definitely didn’t do it on purpose. There’s a reason for this.” Shi Tao did not retort at the top of her voice. Instead, she straightened her back and said those words in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.

However, it was precisely this type of little white flower that floated in the cold wind, tenaciously living, that made Qin Yue even more angry. This woman never forgets to put on an act.

“Shi Tao, stop pretending. Hmph, you must be unhappy with Grandpa and are scolding him in your heart. That’s why you humiliated him on the first day. Let me tell you, do you think you can save the Shi family by marrying into the Qin family? You’re delusional.”

Shi Tao shuddered when she heard that. Ever since she married into the Qin family, she had only met three members of the Qin family, but all of them threatened her with contracts.

It was only the first day. Were they really going to break the agreement? The Shi family was in dire straits now. Even the Qin family, which had helped the Shi family back then, wanted to step on them? Shi Tao’s body was trembling. She raised her hand to cover her chest. It was a little uncomfortable and painful.

It was really just a little, but she had never felt so unfamiliar before.
