Chapter 506: Give It a Try

Five million wasn’t a significant amount for Xu Wen, but she handed over the money reluctantly.

Especially seeing how Gu Chen defended Song Fan, she couldn’t help but feel resentful. Why did Song Fan return and instantly receive everyone’s love and support?

Even Song Yi, who had always forbidden his children from entering Song Corporation, made an exception for her. What was so special about Song Fan?

“Song Fan! One day, I’ll make sure you suffer terribly!” Xu Wen spat venomously.

As she approached the gates of the Xu family villa, she saw a man standing there, and she shivered.

“I don’t know if Song Fan will suffer, but if you keep disobeying, you’ll definitely be the first to die.” Xia Yu looked at her with disdain. “Get in the car. Don’t make me repeat myself.”

Xu Wen reluctantly obeyed, knowing she couldn’t avoid what was coming.

Xia Yu lived in a luxurious apartment complex, a place far beyond what a doctor could typically afford. But as a key informant for a powerful figure, he had such privileges. The apartment offered a beautiful view of the capital.

Despite the picturesque surroundings, Xu Wen felt a chill.

Xia Yu irritably tossed his tie aside. “Do I need to say it? Do it yourself!”

Trembling, Xu Wen undressed, leaving on only her underwear, and bound her wrists with Xia Yu’s tie.

“Smack!” The sound of the belt hitting her flesh was sharp. Xu Wen didn’t dare make a sound, knowing it would only provoke harsher punishment.

Xia Yu struck several times, each blow precise, leaving marks only on her back where they wouldn’t be visible.

“You’re lucky you’re still useful. Otherwise, you’d be dead by now,” Xia Yu said, lifting her chin with disdain.

“I—I am useful! Really!” Xu Wen pleaded. “I followed your instructions. The Lingdong brand launch is at our mall. I did everything you asked. Didn’t you promise me the antidote?”

“Antidote?” Xia Yu kicked her in the stomach. “I told you not to touch Song Fan. Why can’t you understand?”

Xu Wen bit her lip, saying nothing. She hated Song Fan and couldn’t miss any opportunity to hurt her. Now that she was the Xu family’s eldest daughter, everyone respected her. Why should she hold back?

Xia Yu knew exactly what she was thinking. They had chosen her for her deep-seated hatred. But Song Fan was off-limits.

He took out a delicate box from a drawer and smiled. “The antidote was meant for you, but you didn’t listen.”

Xu Wen regretted her actions. She shouldn’t have gone after Song Fan so soon. She should’ve secured the antidote first.

She crawled over, extending her hand. “I’ll listen. Really, I’ll follow your instructions. Please, give me the antidote.”

“No, you won’t listen.” Xia Yu knew her too well. “This is still poison, but it will temporarily suppress the toxins in your body, making you feel less miserable. However, you’ll need to take my medicine every week, or… you can give it a try.”

His smile grew more menacing, and Xu Wen quickly withdrew her hand. But Xia Yu gave her no choice, shoving the pill into her mouth.

“I said you could try it. I’m looking forward to the effects, which should be worse than what you’re experiencing now,” he said, untying her wrists and heading to the bedroom. “Are you coming? Get undressed and come in!”

Xu Wen endured his abuse until the early hours, only released after Mrs. Xu repeatedly called to check on her.

Crawling out of bed, Xu Wen kept her head down, hiding the hatred in her eyes from Xia Yu.

He grabbed her breast roughly. “You know what to say when you get back, right?”

“Yes, I know. I wasn’t feeling well, and you helped me with a check-up,” Xu Wen nodded quickly.

Satisfied, Xia Yu patted her butt, signaling she could leave.

But Xu Wen didn’t go straight home. Despite being accustomed to Xia Yu’s perverse behavior, it still disgusted her.

Why did she have to endure such torment while Song Fan thrived? She was unwilling to accept this.

Thinking of the upcoming Lingdong Jewelry launch, Xu Wen called Meng Xia.
