Reborn as a True Heiress and Becomes a Boss

Chapter 20 Who sent it?
Yang Nianqing showed the scarecrow to Sun Yaqing, "Auntie, do you think this is Wang He's birth chart?"

Upon seeing this, Sun Yaqing exclaimed in a panic, "This is Xiao He's birth chart! Which damned bastard is trying to harm my son?" Sun Yaqing was somewhat out of control.

Wang Yong stood to the side, deep in thought with a dark expression.

Fan Ruichen frowned and asked, "Then who gave you this teddy bear?"

The Wang family fell silent. The bear was a gift from Zhao Wen to Wang Xiaolan three months ago. And now Zhao Wen was about to marry Wang Xiaolan.

Wang He, his face pale, said with difficulty, "He is my brother-in-law."

Yang Nianqing fiddled with the scarecrow and said, "This person is quite cunning." Yang Nianqing broke open the scarecrow and found a triangular talisman inside. Inside the talisman were a few strands of hair. He then took out three more talismans from the teddy bear. "This talisman is called the 'Gathering Misfortune Talisman.' As the name suggests, it gathers misfortune. When enough misfortune is gathered, it will cause someone to die a violent death. Everything will look like an accident, leaving no room for suspicion. Inside, there is only Wang He's hair and his birth date. He only wants to kill Wang He. He also put three concealment talismans in the teddy bear. Ordinary fortune tellers and feng shui masters can't see it. Even I almost misjudged it. The person he hired is very powerful. Wang He, how did you offend him?"

"I...I didn't, is there a mistake?"

"It should be correct. The person who can access your hair and birth chart is definitely someone close to you. Hair and birth chart are such private things. You probably don't even know your own birth chart. Moreover, this talisman only works within 100 meters of the target. If they can put the scarecrow inside the teddy bear, we can basically pinpoint who it is."

Sun Yaqing collapsed onto the sofa, utterly exhausted. She couldn't believe it. Xiao Lan was Wang He's sister; she couldn't possibly have harmed Xiao He. It could only be Zhao Wen. But how could Zhao Wen possibly harm Wang He? He was Xiao He's brother-in-law. Sun Yaqing kept muttering, "Impossible, impossible." How could she believe that Zhao Wen loved Wang Xiao Lan so much and treated Wang He so well? How could he be the one to harm Wang He?

Wang Yong was also shocked; how could his son-in-law be the one who wanted to harm his son?

"I heard that Sister Xiaolan is getting married?" Fan Ruichen asked.

Mr. and Mrs. Wang were stunned. Fan Ruichen continued, "If something happens to Wang He, who will benefit the most?"

The two suddenly realized what was happening. Sun Yaqing burst into tears, and Wang Yong was also furious. It was true that those involved were blinded by their own interests. His family only had one son and one daughter. His family's huge business would be inherited by his son and daughter in the future. His daughter liked fashion design and had started her own small company. She would definitely not inherit the family business in the future. That would be Wang He who would inherit it. If something happened to Wang He, then Wang Xiaolan's husband would inherit the company.

Unexpectedly, after living for decades, they were deceived by a young man. It was also because Zhao Wen acted too well. Zhao Wen and Wang Xiaolan were college classmates. Zhao Wen came from an ordinary family, but he was very outstanding. Because he was good friends with Qin Zixin, Zhao Wen met Wang Xiaolan through Qin Zixin after entering university and fell in love with her at first sight. Afterwards, Zhao Wen pursued Wang Xiaolan for a year without fail, and Wang Xiaolan was moved and got together with Zhao Wen.

Zhao Wen was always at the top of his class in school. During his university years, he even started his own business, building it from scratch. He frequently visited their home, and the two were already engaged, with a wedding date set. Zhao Wen treated Wang Xiaolan and them very well; a son-in-law is like half a son, and they genuinely considered him their son. That's why Wang He willingly called Zhao Wen "brother-in-law." They thought Zhao Wen was reliable and not greedy, since he hadn't relied on the Wang family for his business. Little did they know, Zhao Wen wanted their entire Wang family. They had truly let a wolf into their house; they had completely misjudged him.

Fan Ruichen and Yang Nianqing didn't know how to comfort the Wang family. All Yang Nianqing could do was help Wang He get through this ordeal. "The misfortune gathered by this talisman will not expire if it does not kill the target. When it gathers enough misfortune again, Wang He will encounter another accident."

Sun Yaqing asked anxiously, "Then what should we do?" Wang Yong also looked at Yang Nianqing with concern.

Yang Nianqing smiled and reassured the two, "Don't worry, everything's alright now." Yang Nianqing took out a talisman and continued, "This is a purification talisman, which can eliminate this kind of evil energy that hasn't yet taken shape." Yang Nianqing was about to take out a lighter to burn the purification talisman and the scarecrow evil-gathering talisman together when Wang Xiaolan returned.

When Wang Xiaolan returned home, she saw her parents, younger brother, Fan Ruichen, and an unfamiliar girl huddled together, seemingly discussing something. "Mom and Dad, what are you doing?" She went over and saw her beloved teddy bear had been cut open and thrown on the sofa, even the stuffing had been removed. A surge of anger welled up inside Wang Xiaolan. "Who did this?!" Seeing Yang Nianqing holding scissors, straw, and yellow paper in one hand only fueled her rage. Wang Xiaolan stepped forward, reaching out to push Yang Nianqing. "Did you do this? Who are you?!"

Fan Ruichen put his arm around Yang Nianqing's shoulder to block Yang Nianqing from slapping Wang Xiaolan's hand away.

"Ah!" Wang Xiaolan cried out in pain, "Fan Ruichen, what are you doing!"

Fan Ruichen took out a disposable wet wipe and slowly and methodically wiped his right hand, his eyes filled with undisguised disgust, as if he had touched something filthy. Seeing Fan Ruichen's actions, Wang Xiaolan was furious. Fan Ruichen said slowly and coldly, "Please show some respect. My girlfriend is not someone you can touch." Fan Ruichen retorted to Wang Xiaolan without any regard for her parents' presence. Wang Yong and Sun Yaqing were somewhat unsurprised, because Wang Xiaolan wasn't the first woman Fan Ruichen had treated this way, nor would she be the last. The Wang and Fan families were old friends, and they, as elders, knew that Fan Ruichen had a strong aversion to women. Sometimes even his sister wouldn't get a good look from him, let alone Wang Xiaolan. Moreover, Wang Xiaolan was indeed very rude, trying to push someone without even knowing what was going on.

"Xiaolan, you're so rude! Is this how I raised you?!" Wang Yong roared, his face grim. If Fan Ruichen hadn't stopped him, what if Wang Xiaolan had actually pushed Yang Nianqing? His Wang He was waiting for Yang Nianqing to save him; what if Yang Nianqing got angry? "Nianqing, I'm sorry, I didn't raise my daughter well. Please don't take it to heart."

"Dad!" Wang Xiaolan cried out unwillingly.

Wang Yong felt a surge of anger rising within him. His daughter had been incredibly unreasonable today. Wang Xiaolan was never like this before. It was all because of this teddy bear, all because of Zhao Wen! "Shut up! Do you want to kill your brother before you're satisfied?!"

"Dad?" Wang Xiaolan found it strange. How did this get to the point that she was going to kill her younger brother?

Seeing the heartbroken Wang Yong and the silently weeping Sun Yaqing, Yang Nianqing felt quite envious of Wang Xiaolan and Wang He. They had such good parents who truly loved and cared for them, unlike her own parents. What kind of people were they? Yang Nianqing said to Wang Yong, "It's alright, Uncle." She looked at Wang Xiaolan and said, "If I hadn't cut open that teddy bear, your brother Wang He would have been dead."

"Ha." Wang Xiaolan scoffed, "What a joke! How could my teddy bear be related to my little brother!"

Sun Yaqing wiped away her tears and choked back sobs, saying, "Let me tell you." Sun Yaqing told Wang Xiaoxiao everything, from Wang He's car accident to the things found in the teddy bear, making their stance clear: they would not allow Wang Xiaolan and Zhao Wen to marry.

Wang Xiaolan scoffed, "How could that be? My brother's car accident was just an accident. Dad, didn't you investigate? Zhao Wen loves me so much, he wouldn't harm my family! Mom! You're just being superstitious, all that talk about 'gathering evil spirits' is ridiculous!"

Seeing her daughter's attitude, Sun Yaqing couldn't hold back her tears again, heartbroken. "Why don't you believe me?" Sun Yaqing knew her daughter loved Zhao Wen too much to believe him; making her believe would be too painful. Her daughter had always been close to her son, and now her lover had suddenly become the one who killed her brother—how could she accept that? But if she didn't accept it, Sun Yaqing worried that she would be Zhao Wen's next target.

Wang Xiaolan shook her head and said, "That's impossible, he loves me..."

"Are you sure he loves you?" Yang Nianqing interrupted Wang Xiaolan.

Wang Xiaolan looked up. "What do you want to say?"

"We met yesterday, do you remember?"

Wang Xiaolan suddenly remembered that Yang Nianqing was the person she met at the restaurant, and she had even accidentally knocked Yang Nianqing's chopsticks out of her hand. "It's you!"

Yang Nianqing nodded: "It seems you still remember. I said something back then. Do you know why I said that?"

Wang Xiaolan shook her head blankly, a vague unease creeping into her heart for some reason. "I don't know."

Yang Nianqing could tell from her expression that she hadn't grasped her implication. "I told you that his sleeve was torn, and that you should pay attention and think about it carefully. Isn't it obvious? I was implying that he's gay, that he's a very bad gay man, that he likes men, and that he doesn't love you at all!"

Wang Xiaolan slumped onto the sofa, exclaiming, "Impossible! Impossible! I don't believe it!"
