6 Six Palm Prints

"Wen Xiaoya, why are you rebelling against us? This is the Wen Family you're going against!"

Qu Jiali sat up from the sofa and held on to her son who had just been slapped so hard he began seeing stars. Then, as retaliation, she reached out to grab Wen Xiaoya's hair.

Slap!

Wen Xiaoya did not hesitate at all. She turned sideways and gave the shrew — who had never done her duty as a mother — two hearty slaps.

Out of self-defense, the impact was much lighter, and it had only left a faint pink hand mark. Qu Jiali had never heard a single harsh word in her entire life, let alone receive a slap as such. This gave her quite a scare, so she sat on the ground and began to desperately weep.

"You... How can you treat the family who had raised you like this? Has your heart been bitten by a poisonous snake?"

Wen Mimi covered her face with both hands. She did not dare to speak loudly or provoke Wen Xiaoya. At that moment, Wen Xiaoya had something to say, and her words were intentional — which was to remind Wen Mimi of one thing. "Didn't you give me half a pill of venom? Don't you know how poisonous my heart is now?"

"What venom? What are you talking about? I don't understand a single word." Wen Mimi thought that Wen Xiaoya had long forgotten about this matter. She did not expect that she could even say the name of the poison. Her eyes darted around in panic. She thought that since there was no evidence anyway, as long as she refused to admit it, Xiaoya would not be able to do anything to her.

"Mai Geng? Why are you here?"

"Mai-?"

Wen Xiaoya had created a diversion to distract Wen Mimi. When Mimi opened her mouth in shock, Xiaoya threw the small white pill from her pocket into Wen Mimi's mouth.

"You! What did you put in my mouth?" Wen Mimi covered her mouth, shocked by the sudden movement. Before she could react, Wen Xiaoya slapped her twice, hard.

Slap!

Slap!

"Mimi, you owe me. This, it's not over yet." This time, Wen Xiaoya's palms began to feel numb. It was clear how much strength she had used.

Within a short time, Wen Mimi's face not only had markings on it, but began to swell from the forceful impact. Soon enough, her face began to resemble a pig from the bloatedness of her face!

Qu Jiali saw her own children being beaten to such a miserable state and was so angry that her eyes went red. She did not hesitate and pressed the alarm on the coffee table. In less than 3 minutes, the security guards outside would rush in.

Wen Xiaoya was in no hurry. She picked up her phone and started recording the people in the living room. "If you dare call someone to attack me, I would not hesitate to post this video on the Internet. Doesn't the Wen family really value their image and their status the most? Then I should show the whole Grace City how you bully the weak with numbers!"

Right after she spoke, the security guards had already rushed in. Qu Jiali had no choice but to stop them. No matter how much resentment she harbored, she could only swallow it all down. The Wen family could not lose their reputation.

However, the sound of the alarm had already alerted the Master of the Wen family — Wen Hengzi — who had just entered the living room with his guest.

"What happened?! Honey, Jinli, Mimi, what happened to your faces?"

Qu Jiali's eyes were red and swollen from crying. Not only that, she was angry and aggrieved. She wailed and clung on to Wen Hengzi's neck as she complained. "This is the child we raised. She dared to hit me and even hit our biological children!" 

Wen Xiaoya replied coldly, "I was just defending myself. It was Wen Jinli and Qu Jiali who attacked me first. If you don't believe me, you can check the surveillance cameras."

"You were the one who attacked me first, how could you call that was self-defense. Are you seriously making excuses right now?" Qu Jiali cried and complained, but what she had said was the truth. The surveillance footage might not be able to show the full truth.

Wen Xiaoya was raised by herself, so grew up to be a st*pid person. Qu Jiali thought she understood her. Now, she did not seem like a 23-year-old girl no matter how shrewd she was.

"Our Mimi is obedient and timid. Why did you hit her so hard!?" Wen Jinli had recovered from the slap just now. After he heard the conversation, he could not help but question Xiaoya.

"I dare say, can you believe it? Hehe, you, a father, a mother, and a big brother, have been together for 23 years, but which one of you really treated Wen Xiaoya as family, or even as a decent human being?"

Cang Lan gave Wen Xiaoya great courage and finally said the words that Xiaoya had hidden in her heart for so many years. The Wen family members were completely avoidant of the huge psychological damage that they had given Wen Xiaoya over the years.

Suddenly, Wen Hengzi slammed the table heavily. At this moment, he made a decision.

"Shut up! After so many years, it's better to have a dog than to raise someone like you!

"To think that you were capable of adapting to the situation and to stop causing trouble was my fault, I've overestimated you. You're a beast!

"From now on, we'll no longer have anything to do with each other. We shall sever all ties, this would include your bank card!

"Pack your bags as soon as possible and get out of my family. You are never allowed to step through this household ever again!"
