The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 406: Chapter 406: Catching someone with bare hands, the whole family was terrified

Shen Dongli was completely dumbfounded!

The Xu Family’s house was five stories tall, and if you counted the rooftop garden, it was six stories high. Jumping from such a height would make survival impossible!

Qingwu took out her phone and called Xu Xiaoru.

“Xiaoxiao, go up to your house’s rooftop and take a look.”

Hearing there was someone about to jump, Xu Xiaoru couldn’t stay calm either. She grabbed Shen Jishi and sprinted toward the rooftop terrace.

On the terrace stood a teenage girl, unmistakably the youngest daughter of the fourth branch of the family—Xu Xiaomiao.

“Miaomiao, are you crazy?! If you jump from here, you’ll really lose your life!”

Xu Xiaomiao shook her head, trembling as she opened her phone and started a live stream!

“I don’t want to live anymore. Why? Why is it that everything good is never mine? You all just know how to bully me!”

“No one in the Xu Family is a good person. Third Uncle even knocked on my door late at night. I don’t want to live anymore!”

The “Third Uncle” she mentioned was none other than Xu Xiaoru’s father!

Xu Xiaomiao was on the verge of breaking down, clutching her head as she stood on the edge of the terrace, looking like she could jump off at any moment!

“Xiaoxiao, I can’t stay in this house for even one more day! My life is already ruined! If I jump, then everything will finally be over!”

“Qinqin told me that once you jump, everything changes; nothing will matter anymore…”

Xu Xiaoru clenched her fists tightly.

Her voice trembled as she forced herself to stay calm.

“It’s not your fault. Come down. Everything you just talked about—I know, because I’ve been through it too! Come down, no matter what happens, I’ll help you!”

Shen Jishi’s pupils dilated, staring at Xu Xiaoru beside him with shock and disbelief!

Xu Xiaoru spoke calmly, “Come down, be good, with me here, no matter what it is, we’ll figure it out together.”

Xu Xiaomiao shook her head in pain.

“No, Xiaoxiao, you’ve had it tough too. This house… it’s not even a real home. If I don’t jump, my parents will just use me as a bargaining chip, giving me to those old men as a form of trade. I won’t do it.”

The Xu Family’s children were all far too precocious.

Shen Jishi suddenly broke the silence.

“You can leave, go abroad, escape this place. Don’t you want to see the people who hurt you end up in jail? I can help you! My law firm can help you achieve all your dreams!”

For a split second, a spark of light flashed through Xu Xiaomiao’s eyes.

Shen Jishi added quickly, “Even if you don’t trust Xiaoxiao, you can trust the Shen Family. You know, your grandfather bends over backward to curry favor with our family.”

“You should punish the people who did wrong, not yourself!”

Xu Xiaomiao opened her mouth, hesitating. “…What you said, is it true? Is there really someone who’ll help me?”

“It’s true. Look at Xiaoxiao, isn’t she doing so well now? You can be just like her.”

Xu Xiaoru was the thorn in the side of the parents of her generation in the Xu Family. All because they believed Xu Xiaoru took away everything that should have belonged to their children!

But in the eyes of the younger generation, no one was more capable than Xu Xiaoru!

Downstairs, Shen Dongli lowered his binoculars nervously. “Sweetheart, maybe call the police again? That kid looks really young. If she falls by accident, it’d be terrible!”

“I already did, the police are on their way.”

Qingwu lifted her gaze, staring at the figure standing on the rooftop terrace.

The girl looked about high school age, similar to how Xu Xiaoru had been when Qingwu first met her.

The Xu Family’s way of raising their children—it left very few of them with healthy mental states.

Xu Xiaoru had survived all these years thanks to Qingwu’s treatment, medication, and occasional matches at boxing arenas to release her pressure!

On the third-floor balcony, Xu Xiaoqin stood there in a fresh outfit.

Her tone was mocking.

“Miaomiao, are you really going to jump or not? You’ve been talking about it for ages. If you don’t have the guts, then who cares?”

“I knew you wouldn’t have the courage to leave the Xu Family. You deserve to be tangled up with the family’s perverts for life. Honestly, why bother jumping? You could just lay down next to Third Uncle and call it a day…”

Hearing Xu Xiaoqin’s cruel words, the light in Xu Xiaomiao’s eyes immediately vanished completely!

“Miaomiao, don’t believe anyone. Only death can punish those people. Once you’re gone, these pains will finally leave you. Otherwise, every second you live, someone will always be mocking you!”

“If you don’t believe me, just take a look at your phone.”

With trembling hands, Xu Xiaomiao opened the live-stream platform.

The comments were filled with people asking why she hadn’t jumped yet and when she planned to do so!

[Why would someone start a live-stream for jumping off a building? Clearly just trying to attract attention; don’t believe it, everyone.]

[Are they jumping or not? I’ve been waiting for half an hour!]

[If you don’t dare, forget it. These days people even use jumping to try and get famous? Let’s disperse, everyone.]

The cruel remarks roared in Xu Xiaomiao’s ears, her head filling with piercing noise!

Having lost all hope, the girl gave Xu Xiaoru a fleeting smile, silently mouthed the words “Goodbye,” and leapt off the edge!

“Miaomiao!”

Xu Xiaoru shrieked and lunged forward, her fingertips brushing against Xu Xiaomiao’s clothes—but she was still one step too late!

Downstairs, Shen Dongli and Zuo Wanjun cried out in horror!

A gust of wind swept through, and Qingwu, already waiting below, dove toward the point where Xu Xiaomiao was falling, catching her securely!

The force of the impact caused an audible crack in Qingwu’s arm bone.

Shen Dongli was so stunned his mind went blank, rushing forward in a panic! “Xiao Wu! Oh my god! My darling, why did you jump like that!”

Qingwu spoke calmly, “I’m fine, she’s fine too.”

She looked up, meeting Xu Xiaoru’s tear-soaked face above. Qingwu smiled faintly.

“It’s nothing. Stop crying. I’ve got everything under control!”

Tears streamed down Xu Xiaoru’s face.

She didn’t even notice Shen Jishi pulling her back downstairs.

At the curb, before the car had even stopped properly, the door was wrenched open violently, tires screeching on pavement. Pei Jue jumped out in a few strides and rushed to Qingwu’s side.

“Get to the hospital!”

Qingwu’s forehead was dotted with cold sweat, and her wrist radiated unbearable pain. Pale-faced, she shook her head at him.

“I’m fine; check on her first.”

Xu Xiaomiao was completely stunned!

Compared to Qingwu’s injuries—her misaligned arm and grazed back—the person who had jumped was completely unscathed!

Xu Xiaoru ran to Qingwu and, without hesitation, slapped Xu Xiaomiao hard!

“I told you not to act so recklessly! Wake up! You’ve been in this family for so many years, why should you leave it this way?!”

The slap brought Xu Xiaomiao back to her senses!

“Xiaoxiao, is Ms. Shen okay? Why did she save me? I’m sorry, I’m sorry—it’s all my fault for putting you through this!”

Pei Jue examined Qingwu’s injuries carefully, then bent down and picked her up.

“We’re going to the hospital. I won’t rest until you’re checked out.”

Qingwu turned her head to meet Xu Xiaomiao’s gaze.

With a pale smile, Qingwu spoke gently, “Because you’re just like Xiaoxiao from the past. From now on, you need to be like her and take control of your own fate.”

“Even as a girl, you should have boundless strength to keep moving forward.”
