Exposing Her True Colors

The next morning, Qu Yue was woken up by Butler Zhao's door knocking.

"What is it?" Qu Yue frowned and said unhappily.

Upon hearing her displeased voice, Butler Zhao broke out in cold sweat. Did she disturb the Second Young Mistress?

It was obvious that the Second Young Mistress was someone who had a temper when she woke up.

Oh no, would she be lectured by Second Young Madam?

At the thought of Second Young Madam's physical agility, Butler Zhao's legs trembled in fear. After a while, she said, "Second Young Madam, Old Master Shen has invited you to the study room."

"I got it. I'll go down later." Qu Yue covered her head with the blanket and said in a muffled voice. She sat up unwillingly and looked at the time on her phone. It was only seven o'clock.

Qu Yue stood up and walked to the washroom. The Shen family was really wealthy. Every bedroom had its own washroom.

She looked at her fair and flawless face in the mirror and silently put on the mask that was covered with pustules.

After packing up, Qu Yue went straight to the study on the second floor. Coincidentally, she also had something to tell Old Master Shen.

"Yueyue, take a seat!" Old Master Shen beamed brightly when he saw Qu Yue, gesturing at the sofa by the side.

"No need, I'll just stand." Qu Yue stood there expressionless, staring straight into Old Master Shen's eyes.

Last night, when Old Shen was angry, his eyes were filled with red blood vessels. Furthermore, those red blood vessels would appear and disappear as they pleased. When she returned to her room last night, she had checked up on the related poison.

This poison was known as the Red Blood Powder and would not normally flare up. However, when one was enraged, the poison would act extremely quickly and gradually corrode the victim's internal organs. Moreover, it would make it difficult for the victim to control their emotions.

"Yueyue." Old Master Shen thought that Qu Yue was still angry, so his voice softened. "Dad was too anxious yesterday and misunderstood you."

"I can understand." Qu Yue studied Old Master Shen's face and saw that his expression was normal, but there were still traces of blood in his eyes. She was right. Old Master Shen had been poisoned.

If she had not guessed wrongly, Old Master Shen usually had a good temper, so he was not deeply poisoned.

"That's good, that's good. You're such a good child!" Old Master Shen smiled affectionately. Although Qu Yue was a little ugly, she was still a good child. He hesitated before saying, "Yueyue, why don't I acknowledge you as my goddaughter?"

Old Master Shen did not sleep for the entire night. Shen Ting was the child that he was most proud of. How could he let Shen Ting marry such an ugly woman? Hence, he decided to let Qu Yue be his goddaughter. This was the best solution he could think of. Not only could he repay Qu Yue for saving Shen Ting, he would also not make Qu Yue unhappy.

Qu Yue calmly looked at Old Master Shen. Just as she was about to agree, the study room door was pushed open.

The wheelchair-bound Shen Ting looked at Old Master Shen coldly. "Yueyue is my wife. She won't be your goddaughter!"

Qu Yue frowned. She did not want to be the daughter-in-law of the Shen family. It was better to be an adopted daughter. It would save her from trouble.

Hearing Shen Ting's words, Old Master Shen said anxiously. "Nonsense, do you know what you're talking about? She..."

"Come here!" Shen Ting's deep eyes were fixed on Qu Yue as he said softly. "Come here..."

Old Master Shen looked at the two helplessly. Seeing that Qu Yue and Shen Ting had left together, the smile on his face disappeared again.

If there was really no other way, he could only send Qu Yue for plastic surgery. Oh right, he still had to find a good university for Qu Yue to attend. Qu Yue was so tanned. If she could not be fair, then she could only remain tanned...

At this moment, Qu Yue was pushing Shen Ting's wheelchair towards the lift. She did not speak on the way. When the lift reached the fifth floor, she wheeled Shen Ting towards his room.

"Actually, Shen's suggestion is very good. If you wake up now, I..."

"We have a marriage certificate, so just give up that thought!" Shen Ting had already contacted his subordinates last night and had investigated the happenings of the past seven years. His gaze landed on Qu Yue's face, and he raised his hand slightly to caress her face.

Qu Yue immediately took a step back and looked at Shen Ting warily. She frowned slightly and said unhappily, "What do you want?"

Shen Ting narrowed his eyes and smiled. "When will you take off your mask?"

Qu Yue turned her head to the side. She wanted to say that she would take it off after leaving the Shen family, but when she met Shen Ting's bright eyes, she could not bring herself to say what she meant.

"Yueyue," Shen Ting called softly.

His deep, magnetizing voice made her heart skip a beat. Qu Yue quickly cast the weird feeling she felt to the back of her mind.

"I'm your husband." As Shen Ting spoke, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms before she could react in time, forcing her to sit on his lap.
