Chapter 215: Chapter 215 Mom, What’s That Sound Outside?

"No matter how angry you are, wasn’t it enough for you that Dad withdrew Yunshen’s rescue team to appease you?"

"Don’t be so ungrateful!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yan licked the corner of her lips.

She still wore the hospital gown, retrieving her cell phone from the upper pocket and placing it on the table.

Qin Yan’s gaze was hollow, "Mom, there is a recording of Yunshen on the phone!"

"You better listen closely!"

"Dad punishing Yunshen wasn’t my idea, he naturally knows restraint!"

"And I... I’m sorry, I can’t plead for someone who wants mine and my daughter’s lives!"

A few people looked at each other in dismay.

It was Fang Weiwei who reacted first, taking the cell phone and finding the recording mentioned by Qin Yan.

In such a short time, Qin Yan had no chance to find someone to fabricate it, meaning, it was real!

Mrs. Bo’s face turned white, her body trembling with her heart.

"Qin Yan, don’t push your luck, aren’t you and Qin Yinyin just fine?"

"The Bo Family has never wronged you..."

Before Shen Ruyun could finish her words, Qin Yan suddenly stood up from the sofa.

Her expression was grave, "Mom, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go upstairs to check on Yinyin!"

"She’s been frightened and can’t be without me!"

Without looking at Mrs. Bo’s face, Qin Yan turned and went upstairs.

She simply couldn’t stay in the Bo Family’s living room any longer!

She feared that if she stayed any longer, she would be swayed by the thoughts of the Bo Family’s people!

Bo Yunshen loathed her deeply, and she really feared, feared he would take his anger out on Yinyin again if she didn’t teach him a lesson!

And she only had Yinyin.

As Qin Yan passed by the study, a glance through the slightly ajar door caught Bo Yunshen kneeling on the floor, back straight, with Bo Yuanshan holding a whip in his hand, his face pale.

Qin Yan averted her gaze and continued upstairs.

This time, it seemed Bo Yuanshan hadn’t held back, and even upstairs, the sound of the whip tearing through the air and striking flesh was unrelenting.

Qin Yinyin stayed in the children’s room, already changed into a set of pajamas when Qin Yan entered.

With a needle in the back of her hand, she was awake, her bright black eyes seemingly illuminated by the light.

"Mommy."

Qin Yan sat down by her bed.

Qin Yinyin’s stare was fixed on Qin Yan, and she asked softly, "Mommy, what’s that noise outside?"

"Is Grandpa hitting Daddy again?"

"Mommy, why does Grandpa beat Daddy?"

"Could it be true that Daddy wanted to kill Yinyin?"

Qin Yinyin’s questions bombarded her one after another, making Qin Yan’s heartbeat fluctuate wildly, that familiar pain creeping into her heart bit by bit.

Suddenly, Qin Yan’s eyes reddened.

Before seeing Yinyin again, she had even thought she could no longer feel pain...

But with just a few questions from Yinyin, she once again experienced that heart-wrenching sensation.

She pressed her eyelashes down, hiding the tears in her eyes, her thoughts drifting momentarily as she pondered how to explain to Qin Yinyin.

The little one glanced at her timidly, then asked cautiously, "Mommy, is what Uncle Big Beard said true, that Yinyin isn’t Daddy’s child?"

This question seemed to cut off Qin Yan’s breath.

She blinked her eyes, everything was shrouded in a foggy haze.

"Yinyin, do you believe Mommy?"

Qin Yinyin nodded her head.

She was a good girl, only three years old, with an IV needle in the back of her hand. Even when no one was watching, that little hand remained perfectly still.

Qin Yan’s heart grew even more obscure.

"Mommy, if Daddy isn’t Yinyin’s daddy, then who is Yinyin’s daddy?"

"Yinyin, Bo Yunshen is your daddy!" Qin Yan reached out to wipe away a tear, "Mommy hasn’t lied to you!"

"It’s just that Daddy might not love you as much as you think he does!"

Qin Yan’s eyes looked empty.

Speaking those words seemed not as difficult as she had expected.

Qin Yinyin’s lips moved slightly, unsure of what she heard. Her eyes brightened, and with a faint smile at the corners of her mouth, she whispered softly, "I knew it, Daddy is my daddy!"

Qin Yan wanted to say something, but Qin Yinyin had just been frightened, and Qin Yan worried that saying anything more might upset her. Her lips moved but, in the end, not a single word came out.

The little one was severely depleted in energy. She had barely spoken a few words to Qin Yan when she became drowsy, sinking into a state between sleep and wakefulness.

Downstairs, the sound of a whip cracking through the silent night was unusually clear.

Suddenly, Qin Yinyin’s eyes flew open, "Mommy, can you stop Grandpa from beating Daddy?!"

Qin Yan paused.

Qin Yinyin had always liked Bo Yunshen very much, so much that even after hearing the kidnappers say that Bo Yunshen wanted to kill her, she still thought of pleading for him.

At that moment, Qin Yan began to regret.

Regretting that she had cultivated such a perfect illusion of a family for Qin Yinyin, making it so easy for her daughter to forgive!

Qin Yan closed her eyes, not responding to Qin Yinyin’s plea.

There was only one vial left of the IV drip that the doctor had set up for Qin Yinyin. As soon as it was finished, Qin Yan immediately removed the needle.

Then she lifted the child from the bed.

Qin Yinyin, looking bewildered, asked, "Mommy, where are we going?"

Qin Yan licked her lips and said in a low voice, "Mommy is taking you home."

"Is Daddy coming with us?"

Keeping her composure, Qin Yan replied, "Daddy has done something wrong, and your Grandpa is reasoning with him! Let’s go home alone!"

Qin Yinyin did not quite understand, but when she knew that Bo Yunshen wouldn’t be coming back with them, the brightness in her eyes dimmed slightly.

As soon as Qin Yan walked downstairs, she was stopped by Mrs. Zhang.

"Fourth Young Madam, Fourth Young Master and the old Master have already been in the study for more than ten minutes now..."

Her face had a look of difficulty, "Fourth Young Madam, Fourth Young Master has many injuries, and if the old Master doesn’t stop soon, something really bad might happen!"

"You’re the only one in the Bo Family who can persuade the old Master..."

Qin Yan hesitated, then said softly, "Mrs. Zhang, Dad knows what he’s doing. At most, he is just making Yunshen suffer a bit more, he won’t really take Yunshen’s life!"

"Yinyin is not feeling well and wants to go home, so I’ll take her back first!"

Their conversation was overheard by Shen Ruyun as she happened to pass by.

She raised her eyebrows and raised her voice, "Fourth Sister, you got it wrong. Listen to the sound of that whip; it hasn’t stopped even now!"

"Dad is furious; who knows what might happen accidentally?"

"Your daughter was kidnapped, and the Bo Family, without a second thought, put up fifty million for her ransom. Now all it takes is for you to say a word, why is it so difficult?"

"What, do you really want to stand by and watch as your brother is beaten to death before you would be satisfied?"

Qin Yan glanced sideways at Shen Ruyun.

Qin Yan had her own measure of what life was like in the lavish household of the Bo Family. She had never seen Shen Ruyun have any particularly close bond with Bo Yunshen in normal times!

Speaking out for Bo Yunshen at this moment, how much of it was sincere and heartfelt, probably only she knew!
