Xia Xingcheng's head was covered with a shroud, so she could see nothing but darkness, and all she knew was that she seemed to have been taken to some remote place. The more time elapsed, the more anxious she became in her heart. She desperately kicked the door with her unbound feet, but nothing happened. She had been struggling for a long time and the door finally made a sound as several big men, looking like bodyguards, came in. What covered her head was lifted off and when Xia Xingcheng’s eyes adapted to the light, she stared at the person in front of her.

"Xia Xingyan, let go of me. If something happens to Bao, I will not go easy on you!" As she said this, she tried to break away from the shackles, and her face turned red.

Xia Xingyan snorted at Xia Xingcheng’s worry and looked scornfully at her. “It's useless for you to struggle. There are people all over here. You can't run away. I think you’d better wait for Sheng Yeting to rescue you. You and Sheng Yeting are husband and wife, aren’t you? If he likes you, he won’t just let you be. Am I right?" In saying this, Xia Xingyan's eyes flashed with jealousy, and suddenly she didn't want to see Sheng Yeting come to save this woman. How could a slut like Xia Xingcheng deserve such a great man!

Xia Xingcheng frowned, recalling his angry looks from yesterday. Even if he was not furious, and despite helping her so many times without any relation with her, why would he come for her again?

Without the faintest idea of where Bao was going and with no means of getting out of here, Xia Xingcheng looked paler and paler.

Xia Xingyan noticed her complexion changing, giving a snort and smirking dryly. “Wait! Xia Xingcheng, look at the way you’re behaving. Don’t tell me the whole thing of you and Sheng Yeting being together was just a show which you put on for us?”

Looking at Xia Xingyan’s face, no one could possibly tell that the elegant lady with a pretty face from before was now the one with a face distorted in jealousy.

“Humph, of course we’re together,” Xia Xingcheng sneered. Judging by Xia Xingyan’s gradually gloomier looks, Xia Xingcheng tried to sound confident, “He just doesn’t bother to deal with you. If he gets to be serious, you can’t afford the consequences.”

As Xia Xingcheng expected, Xia Xingyan believed what she said without further doubt. “Okay, sister, let’s wait and see.”

She then waved her hands behind her and two giant men appeared and dragged Xia Xingcheng into the car.

Xia Xingcheng’s mind was in a whirl. She shouted at Xia Xingyan, outraged, “Xia Xingyan, where are you taking me? Bao has gone missing, so release me first and we can settle our other business later as soon as I find Bao.”

Xia Xingcheng was worried about Bao so much that she had not cared about anything else since her Bao went missing. Although that little thing was smart, they had just come back from abroad and they had no other friends around. Should anything have happened to her son, what was she going to do? Facing such an emergency, Xia Xingcheng even began to soften her tone to Xia Xingyan, who was the last person she would want to turn to.

But Xia Xingyan remained unmoved. On the contrary, Xia Xingyan felt more and more satisfied seeing Xia Xingcheng being softened. She didn’t say another word other than to directly ask her men to put Xia Xingcheng in the car.

The car stopped at the rear gate of the Xia’s villa and Xia Xingcheng could not imagine in her wildest dreams that she would come back again to the Xia’s in this way.

At that moment, Mr. Xia walked over, taking no notice of Xia Xingcheng but turned to Xia Xingyan directly. “What’s going on?”

Xia Xingyan was afraid of her father after all, lowering her head and told him the while story including Bao’s disappearance.

Mr. Xia nodded and didn’t display much emotion, but warned his men anxiously, “Keep a close eye on her. Don’t let her spoil our plan.”

As for what happened to Bao, Mr. Xia didn’t mention it at all, and whether Bao was alive or dead didn’t interest him in any case.

At that moment, Xia Xingcheng watched the whole family’s ugliness, feeling like her heart was crumbling. She didn’t hold any hope for them originally but still her heart suffered a burst of dull pain.

They said that blood is thicker than water but they were completely indifferent when Bao went missing. All that they cared about was whether their company could survive or not, and even locked her up, not letting her look for her own child. Was there any other family as cruel as hers?

Her hatred was overwhelming. Xia Xingcheng suddenly became fierce and made full use of her strength to knock herself against the two men and actually created a chance of escape. Unfortunately, her strength was not enough and she was held back by the two men again. Mr. Xia and others heard the noise and turned to Xia Xingcheng with confusion.

“Bao is missing now and all you care about is yourselves! I tell you what, should anything happen to Bao, I’ll die with you!” Xia Xingcheng howled desperately but even so, nothing could shake this family’s indifferent heart.

“Go head, keep crying; whatever you want. You don’t imagine you'll get out of here unless Sheng Yeting has agreed to our arrangement, do you.” Mr. Xia snorted coldly and then ignored Xia Xingcheng, turning around and leaving without any emotion in his eyes.

Xia Xingcheng was imprisoned in a closed room and there was no way to escape. She was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Outside, Xia Xingyan's mother heard the noise and came over. Her face lit up the moment she saw that Xia Xingcheng locked up.

Seeing the Lord of their manor standing there with a gloomy face, she hurriedly went to pacify him. "Old Xia, don't be angry. That brat was howling like that yet the Sheng guy didn’t come here at all. Maybe they aren’t what they claimed they are. I say it was all made up by the brat. That one from the family Qin seems nice, though he’s not so young and has been divorced, but he’s quite wealthy. If we marry her to him, it’ll be helpful to our family."

Mr. Xia nodded and as his eyebrows stretched out, Xia Xingyan immediately echoed, "Yes, Dad, how can a man in a position like Sheng Yeting fall for Xingcheng? Maybe we misunderstood it."

Xia Xingyan was secretly happy to see that her father's face had become gloomier again. She just wanted her father to dislike that woman totally. Anyway, she thought that it was impossible for Xia Xingcheng to climb up the social ladder to Sheng Yeting, and Xia Xingcheng should feel grateful to marry even an old man. Moreover, everyone knew that the old man Qin was a very nasty person and his two ex-wives divorced him because of domestic abuse.

On this morning, gossip had been spread over the whole Yanjing’s upper class that the Sheng Group’s CEO, Sheng Yeting, had appeared in a hotel with a young child, and many guessed that the kid was President Sheng’s illegitimate son.
