However, it was already too late. Xu Zhenwei pressed the delete button and deleted the video. “Xu Anran, you’d better stop. Don’t use such methods to harm people anymore. Otherwise, I won’t be polite to you!” Xu Zhenwei pointed at her and threw the phone back.

Xu Anran was disheartened and smiled coldly. How could she be so naïve? Even though the evidence was right in front of him, he still chose to believe in Xu Anning. At this moment, her stepmother, Liu Li, walked out. The moment she saw her, she scolded her, “How could you do such a thing?! Aren’t you embarrassed enough?”

Xu Anran choked and asked, “What did I do?”

“You’re a b*stard. It’s one thing for you to ruin your reputation by doing that kind of live broadcast, but you even implicated the Xu Corporation and your sister. You even shamelessly asked what you did? You know very well what you did!” Her stepmother pinned all the blame on her.

“Can’t you see that I was forced to do that?” Xu Anran looked at her so-called family member in despair.

When her father heard this, not only did he not feel sorry for her, he even reprimanded her with even harsher words. “Vile spawn, you’re still pretending in front of me? If you weren’t willing, who would bring you to such a place to be played by a man? Who did you offend?!”

Xu Anran suddenly felt tired. What was the meaning of her return? She knew that they and Xu Anning were family, while she was just an outsider, a b*stard. She took her phone and prepared to leave.

“Stop her, don’t let her leave the Xu family!” Just as Liu Li finished speaking, four or five bodyguards rushed in and surrounded Xu Anran.

Xu Anran turned around and looked at Liu Li. “What are you trying to do?!”

“You’ve made a fool of us outside. Now you want to leave? How can it be that easy?” Xu Anning looked at her expression and mocked her. She used her hands to cover her mouth and used her lips to tell her, “Don’t even think about fighting me for the rest of your life!”

“Let go of me! Let go of me!” Xu Anran roared. “Don’t you know that it’s illegal to imprison others? Aren’t you afraid of going to jail?”

“My own daughter is disobedient. How could she become a prisoner after being locked up at home for a few days?” Xu Zhenwei said coldly.

Xu Anning gave her a cold smile and turned around. She said in a very sensible manner, “Mom, Dad, she’s yelling at home. What if the neighbors hear it? Why don’t we send her back to the old house and let her reflect on herself in the old house?”

The old house was desolate. That was the true imprisonment. When the time came, no one would know even if she screamed. Xu Anran kept struggling. No, she couldn’t go to the old house. Once she went to the old house, it would be difficult for her to escape. But how could she, a woman, fight against the bodyguards? She was gagged, pushed into the car, sent to the old house, and locked in a small dark room.

She thought that they were just locking her in the old house, but who knew that the bodyguards had even nailed the doors and windows shut? The place she was in was a small dark room, and only a faint light could enter. There was no blanket in the old house, and the food that the old house guard gave her seemed to have been left out for a long time, and it was already rancid.

Xu Anran could only endure the rancid smell and swallow the food. Every time she took a bite, she had to resist the urge to spit it out. She knew that once she spat it out, there would be no food left to eat. It was even worse at night. There was no blanket in the house, so she could only hide in a small corner and resign herself to fate.

When she heard the commotion at the door, Xu Anran choked with sobs and begged the caretaker to let her out. The caretaker saw that she was hiding inside and could not bear it, so she gave Xu Anning a call. “Miss Xu, there aren’t even any sheets or covers here. Why don’t I prepare a blanket for her?

“What blanket?” Xu Anning’s cold voice came from the other end of the phone. “It’s better if she freezes to death inside.”
