Stepdaughter of a wealthy family? The little darling of a Beijing tycoon

The door slowly opened, and the scene before her eyes instantly felt like an icicle, piercing Xu Yun's heart.

In the entryway, two pairs of shoes were placed side by side. One pair was men's leather shoes that Gu Ze usually wore, while the other was a pair of silver high heels adorned with rhinestones, glamorous and dazzling.

Xu Yun was very familiar with these shoes.

She never wears such complicated and flashy styles; her shoe closet is full of sleek pointed-toe high heels or flat shoes.

These diamond-encrusted high heels were a gift she personally picked out for her best friend for her birthday last month.

How could it be her shoes?

Xu Yun felt her blood freeze instantly, and her mind went blank.

Even though she had repeatedly speculated and prepared herself for the worst that afternoon, and even though she had guessed that Gu Ze might cheat on her, she was still devastated when the truth was laid bare before her.

Gu Ze's social circle had always been clean, and he maintained a very high level of propriety with women, which had given her a strong sense of security over the years. She never imagined that the person he was having an affair with wasn't some random woman, but her most trusted and closest best friend!

This felt more absurd and disgusting to her than being betrayed by a stranger; it felt like a complete joke.

The live stream room fell silent for a moment, then erupted in an uproar more explosive than ever before:

"Oh my god! It's her best friend?! She's actually her best friend?!"

"This is so melodramatic! This is a double betrayal!"

"I knew this melon would be big, but it still exceeded my expectations!"

The barrage of comments from netizens flooded the screen, each one filled with shock and anger, all waiting quietly to see what would happen next.

Xu Yun abruptly closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and when she opened them again, all the panic on her face had vanished, leaving only a cold and resolute expression.

She spoke clearly and distinctly to the camera, her voice carrying throughout the live stream: "Today, let our viewers witness an extraordinary case of catching someone cheating! After all, being betrayed by both your fiancé and your best friend at the same time is a rare occurrence."

As soon as she finished speaking, she held up her phone and stepped into the house.

She drove here today, and had already changed out of her high heels when she entered. She was wearing a pair of comfortable flat shoes on the floor, and her movements were almost silent.

The living room in front of me was a complete mess—men's shirts and ties, women's stockings and skirts, were scattered all over the floor, like an absurd farce.

Following the messy trail, the door to the master bedroom was ajar, revealing a startling crack.

Whether they were too anxious or certain that she would never come back, they didn't even bother to close the door.

Inside the bedroom, the faint sound of a man's deep growl mingled with a woman's ambiguous moans—sounds that any adult could understand.

Every note felt like a relentless slap across Xu Yun's face.

The viewers in the live stream went completely crazy, with the chat flooded with excited urgings.

"Charge in! Take clear pictures! Let us see the scene!"

"Push the camera in! This is explosive news!"

Just as Xu Yun raised her hand, preparing to push open the bedroom door, Shen Jingshu's calm voice rang out, carrying a timely warning: "Don't be impulsive."

She paused, her tone helpless yet clear: "If I continue this live stream, my channel will be banned by the platform before the truth is revealed."

One sentence instantly sobered up all the excited netizens and made Xu Yun, who was holding up her phone, stop what she was doing.

Xu Yun composed herself and slowly lowered the live stream camera to ensure that the unsightly scene inside the house was not captured, while only keeping the audio clear.

The sounds in the bedroom gradually subsided, followed by a satisfied growl from the man, indicating that he had finished.

The two lay on the wedding bed that Xu Yun had personally chosen, covered with a silk quilt she had carefully selected. Their conversation was full of tender yet sordid exchanges, every word piercing Xu Yun's heart.

"Brother Ze, are you really going to marry Xu Yun?" Her best friend's sweet voice rang out, tinged with a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Of course, we had already discussed this beforehand."

Gu Ze's voice was languid yet sinister, "The Xu family only has one daughter, so the family fortune will be hers sooner or later. After I marry her, I'll slowly reveal that she's infertile. Then you'll show up with our son, and I'll persuade her to adopt our child. Then everything in the Xu family will be ours, right?"

Infertility?

Adopt their son?

Xu Yun stood frozen at the doorway, as if all the blood in her body had frozen.

She covered her mouth in disbelief, her fingertips icy cold. It turned out that her years of infertility were not a physical problem at all, but a trap set by the despicable couple in front of her!

She suppressed her overwhelming rage and didn't rush in immediately, wanting only to hear the whole truth.

"But I don't want to see you marry her..." her best friend said coquettishly, her tone full of resentment.

"Foolish woman, how am I supposed to seize the Xu family's fortune if I don't marry her?"

Gu Ze coaxed softly, his tone becoming increasingly smug, "I've given you everything except a wedding—my person, my heart, and our son. Besides, I stopped Xu Yun from getting pregnant a long time ago. I did it flawlessly. Once she adopts our son, the entire Xu family will be our son's."

After hearing these words, the viewers in the live stream were completely outraged, with the chat filled with comments expressing both anger and sympathy.

"My God! This man is so vicious! Not only did he cheat on me, but he also tried to seize the family fortune, and he even has a child with me!"

"He pretends to be deeply affectionate and devoted on the surface, but is so ruthless behind the scenes; he's a complete hypocrite!"

"This best friend is even more venomous. She acts like a sister to the other girl, but secretly she hooked up with her fiancé and even had a child with him!"

"I feel so sorry for Xu Yun. Ten years of her youth were wasted on such a heartless pair of bastards!"

After hearing all the conspiracies, Xu Yun calmed down completely, her eyes filled with a chilling coldness.

Ten years of deep affection, all a deception; all the tenderness and consideration were just a pretense to scheme for her family's wealth.

She could no longer hold back; she suddenly raised her foot and kicked the door hard.

With a loud bang, the door was kicked open.

Xu Yun's camera swayed slightly, briefly capturing the two disheveled figures on the bed, before she immediately turned the camera away and aimed it at the wall, afraid of capturing indecent images that might lead to Shen Jingshu's live stream being banned.

The two people on the bed were terrified by the sudden noise. They looked toward the door in a panic, their faces turning ashen.
