All-Mighty Girl Gets Spoiled by A Bigshot Chapter 1355 He's Just A B*Stard

"Mother and daughter?" Qin Churou erupted into a sharp, mocking laugh upon hearing the phrase. "I am merely an adopted child. Do not try to play the part of a loving mother here."

"If you truly considered me your daughter, why would you conceive that b*stard and force him to vie with me for the Qin family inheritance? I have sacrificed so much for this household. Why should I surrender its wealth to him?"

After delivering this line, Qin Churou felt she had finally pierced the veil of Lin Shuya's true intentions.

"Lin Shuya, you were obsessed with that child long before he was even conceived. Once he arrives, will you still cherish me, your adopted daughter?" she challenged. "I fear I will eventually meet the same fate as Qin Sheng. You treat Qin Sheng—your own flesh and blood—with such cruelty, so what chance do I, an intruder, have?"

Since childhood, Qin Churou had resided within the Qin household, greedily consuming every comfort that should have been rightfully Qin Sheng’s.

She long ago convinced herself that every single asset belonging to the Qin family was her own.

Consequently, she would not tolerate anyone encroaching upon her potential fortune. Hearing that Lin Shuya was pregnant, her immediate impulse was to eliminate the unborn child.

Lin Shuya’s complexion turned deathly white. She stared at Qin Churou, her entire frame trembling uncontrollably.

Perhaps this coldness had always existed within Qin Churou, but she had been too blind to recognize it.

Qin Churou gave a wicked laugh. "Lin Shuya, that is precisely why I must act first and end him early. By doing so, I ensure he can never steal what is mine. He is nothing but a b*stard; he should never have been brought into this world."

"Qin Churou!"

Lin Shuya, overcome with fury, lashed out with a stinging slap across her face.

Her body continued to shake as she cried out, "Qin Churou, I regret the day I chose to treat you as my own!"

The impact was heavy. Qin Churou’s head snapped to the side, and a red welt blossomed upon her skin with visible speed.

A trickle of blood escaped from the edge of her lips.

"Qin Churou, your heart is truly malicious and vile! Have you ever looked at me as your mother?" Lin Shuya’s voice came out raspy, her eyes filled with bloodshot rage.

With a careless motion, Qin Churou wiped the blood from her lip, looking at Lin Shuya with complete indifference.

She made no effort to deny it. "I have always been cold-hearted. You and Qin Hai were simply too dim-witted to see it. As for being a mother, there is no biological bond between us, so why should I treat you as one? If I hadn't been clever enough to flatter you, would I have received any favor if I possessed a temperament like Qin Sheng's?"

Lin Shuya clenched her fists until her knuckles whitened, her nails digging deep into the skin of her palms.

The realization that the child she had doted upon was so fundamentally wicked was impossible for her to process.

Qin Churou wore an expression of undisguised disdain.

"Honestly, Lin Shuya, you are incredibly foolish. You allowed me to keep you in the dark for all these years, easily manipulated by a few choice words. I recall leaves behind numerous clues, yet you were never once suspicious."

"You are the truly heartless one. Qin Sheng is your flesh and blood, yet you exploited her repeatedly. You never once viewed her as a daughter. I refuse to believe you were unaware of my schemes against her, yet you never lifted a finger to stop me. In terms of pure ruthlessness, Lin Shuya, I cannot compare to you. Even a vicious tiger spares its own cubs."

"Poor Qin Sheng. With a mother like you, it is no wonder she grew up with such a prickly personality—though you insist on viewing it as a lack of respect. Seeing us act as a devoted mother-daughter pair right in front of her... I imagine that must have been incredibly painful for her heart."
