Wen Yan crouched down, her gaze gentle as she looked at Shao Ning. "Little Ningning, would you be willing to take off your shoes?"
Shao Ning knew what Wen Yan intended to do; they had already discussed it at the hospital. She nodded meekly.
Wen Yan gently patted her head. "Such a good girl."
Wen Yan removed the shoe and sock from Shao Ning's left foot.
Shao Ning's foot was slender, pale, and quite lovely.
However, the flaw was that she had six toes.
Shao Weiliang's brows immediately furrowed tightly. "Shao Ning, how long are you going to keep making a spectacle of yourself? Hurry up and put your shoes and socks back on!"
In today's society, having six toes is something to be ridiculed for.
Shao Weiliang had once been looked down upon by his first love because of his six toes.
Later, he met his current wife, Chu Mei. Not only did she not disdain his six toes, she actually liked them. Sometimes during intimate moments, she would even kiss them.
This was one of the reasons he had doted on Madam Shao all these years.
If he, a man, feared being mocked for having six toes, shouldn't Shao Ning, a young woman, be even more afraid?
She was truly disgracing the entire Shao family!
"Mr. Shao, surely you don't still think Little Ningning's six toes bring shame to your family, do you? Think about it—wasn't your father also born with six toes? No, and your grandfather too—"
"The Shao family line carries this genetic trait of six toes. But tell me, does Shao Xue have six toes?"
Upon hearing this, Shao Weiliang's face darkened abruptly.
Thinking carefully, it was true that everyone in the Shao family had six toes.
His father had mentioned this to him before, saying it was a family inheritance.
When the twin sisters Shao Xue and Shao Ning were born, Shao Xue's feet were normal. He had thought heaven was favoring him, finally granting him a normal child.
He hadn't pondered it more deeply.
"Husband, don't listen to her nonsense! Both Shao Xue and Shao Ning came from my womb. Xuexue was blessed by our ancestors, that's why her feet are normal. You can't suspect her just because she doesn't have six toes!"
Shao Weiliang nodded thoughtfully.
Wen Yan gave a light laugh. "Having you do a DNA test now would take some time. By then, Madam Shao might try to pass off Shao Ning's hair as Shao Xue's to fake the results, or perhaps she'd run off with Shao Xue and her lover. After all, you've already transferred quite a bit of Mr. Shao's assets."
Madam Shao's eyelids twitched violently.
Who exactly was this woman?
How did she know her situation so thoroughly?
Looking at Wen Yan, who spoke with such conviction and detail, a terrifying thought suddenly flashed through Shao Weiliang's mind.
Could it be that Shao Xue really wasn't his child?
Seeing the doubt in Shao Weiliang's eyes, Shao Xue threw herself into his arms. "Dad, I am your daughter! You and Mom have loved each other for over twenty years. You mustn't be fooled by some little vixen. She's a vicious woman Shao Ning hired to drive a wedge between our family!"
"If you don't believe me, ask the Wen family. Not a single person in her family has a good impression of her, no one likes her!"
Shao Weiliang caught a whiff of the rotten egg smell on Shao Xue and felt a wave of nausea.
He pushed Shao Xue away and looked coldly at Wen Yan. "My wife conceived the twins on our wedding night. On our wedding day, aside from me, everyone around her was a woman."
"Even if Shao Xue isn't my child, then tell me, who could she have been with? Could it be that a woman could get her pregnant?"
Wen Yan smiled. "It was indeed a woman."
The air fell into a deathly silence.
Shao Weiliang was almost amused by the absurdity.
He had just started to find this woman's words somewhat credible, but now it seemed she was simply spouting utter nonsense!
A woman getting a woman pregnant?
What a bizarre tale!
"Wen Yan, that's enough! This crazy talk, aren't you ashamed of disgracing our Wen family?" Madam Wen glared angrily at Wen Yan.
Wen Yan completely ignored Madam Wen as if she were air. She raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at Shao Weiliang. "It was a woman, that's correct, but not a real woman. It was a half-man, half-woman... a ladyboy."
As soon as Wen Yan's words left her mouth, the surroundings erupted in murmurs.
Madam Shao's face instantly turned extremely ugly.
She pointed angrily at Wen Yan's nose. "You little bitch! You were born but not raised by a mother! How dare you spout such lies!"
Wen Yan curled her lip. "It's true I was born but not raised by a mother. So what? I'm actually quite proud of it. At least I wasn't raised to be twisted."
Madam Wen nearly fainted from rage.
Si Jingyi walked over and directly swatted away Madam Shao's hand pointing at Wen Yan's nose. "You were raised by a mother, but why didn't she teach you that pointing at someone's nose invites a thunderbolt strike!"
Madam Shao, "..."
Wen Yan gave Si Jingyi a thumbs-up. "Not bad, second brother."
[After seeing through Song Fei'er's true nature, this lovesick fool has really become sharp-witted.]
A smile appeared in Si Jingyi's peach-blossom eyes.
So happy.
Elder sister-in-law praised him.
Wen Yan glanced at the well-preserved Madam Shao, who looked to be in her thirties, then at the female secretary standing behind Shao Weiliang.
The female secretary had an extremely hot figure, with a large bust and a slender waist.
Seeing that ample bosom, Wen Yan couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
[Tsk tsk tsk, such terrifying weapons. This must be the big-breasted girl Iceberg Si dreams of. Pity they're so impressive only because they're implants.]
Si Jingyi glanced at the female secretary.
Damn, no way!
His elder brother couldn't have such a heavy taste as to like this obviously fake chest, could he?
But now wasn't the time to worry about his brother; digging into the gossip was most important.
A sudden flash of insight struck Si Jingyi.
Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap—
Could it be that Shao Xue is the bastard child of Madam Shao and the female secretary?
That would be way too explosive!
"Elder sister-in-law, the ladyboy is her?" Si Jingyi pointed at the female secretary.
Wen Yan snapped her fingers. "Smart!"
Bam!
Elder sister-in-law called him smart.
Shao Weiliang looked at the female secretary in shock.
The female secretary was Madam Shao's best friend. Madam Shao had introduced her to work at his company years ago.
She usually seemed more feminine than most women. How could she possibly be a ladyboy?
But Shao Weiliang quickly remembered: when he and Madam Shao got married, while Madam Shao was in the dressing room putting on makeup and changing into her wedding dress, only the female secretary was with her.
He had pushed the door open then and found Madam Shao's wedding dress somewhat disheveled. Madam Shao had said she had just used the restroom. At the time, he hadn't thought anything of it.
Could it be that she had been with the female secretary before the wedding ceremony, and then spent the wedding night with him after the ceremony?
"Ridiculous! Don't you know that ladyboys are incapable of reproduction?" The female secretary stepped forward to refute, thrusting out her chest. "You're just jealous that my figure is hotter than yours, aren't you?"
Wen Yan looked at that pair of silicone weapons, so fake they seemed ready to burst, and gave a faint smile. "Strictly speaking, you aren't a true ladyboy, because you haven't undergone sex reassignment surgery. You only had breast implants and don't take estrogen drugs long-term."
"You should be called a 'cross-dresser.' Female from the waist up, male from the waist down. Tell me, am I right?"
Wen Yan's words caused both the female secretary and Madam Shao to change their expressions completely.
