976 In his eyes, her flattery was just a joke

Xia rushuang's heart skipped a beat, and her face instantly turned pale. Her lips trembled, and she looked at Xia Anlan with an aggrieved and sad expression. " Brother LAN ... You ... What's wrong? "

Xia rushuang's eyes reddened as she said, " I ... Yes, I admit that I did tell uncle about the Yue family, but I did it for qingsi's own good. She's a young lady and there are many things that she can't see clearly. However, marriage is the most important thing in a woman's life. If she takes one wrong step in marriage, her life ... Might be over. I just want qingsi to be happy. I also want to do my part. I really don't have any other intentions ..."

Xia Anlan did not show any expression when he saw Xia rushuang's miserable appearance. On the contrary, his eyes became more and more cold and impatient.

"Oh, really? Is qingsi your only goal? I don’t think so."

"Brother LAN, I ... I really don't know what other motives I have." Xia rushuang looked at Xia Anlan with a little panic in her eyes. Her face was full of grievances.

"When you came to my house decades ago, Xiao' AI was only two or three years old," Xia Anlan said calmly."My father's favorite Hwamei suddenly disappeared one day. The servants said that they saw you take Xiao' AI to see it. What did you say at the time?"

Mrs. You's face turned pale. Decades ago ... At that time, she had just arrived at the Xia family home. She ...

"Tell my father that Xiao' AI insisted on looking at it, so you took it off and gave it to her."

Mrs. You's hands trembled. She tried her best to smile, but she couldn 't. "I ... I can't remember. It happened decades ago. Brother LAN, why would you suddenly bring it up? although I can't remember clearly, but ... We all know that Xiao' AI loved to play when she was young. She wanted to see it, so I took it down for her. It's ... Very normal."

Xia Anlan smiled sarcastically. His smile was very faint, very shallow, and did not even last a second.

But...That was like a thorn that stabbed into Mrs. You's heart. Her hands and feet were cold and her heart was uneasy. Xia Anlan was someone who would never say useless things.

What was he trying to do by suddenly bringing up those things?

"I can't remember," Xia Anlan said coldly,"hehe ... But why do I remember it so clearly? you probably didn't know that when you opened the cage and let out that Hua Mei, I was standing behind and watching."

Mrs. You instantly felt as if her entire body had fallen into an ice cave. A bone-chilling coldness seeped into her body, causing her to shiver.

It turned out that he had never liked her since then. All these years, he had always known about it. He had even seen it with his own eyes back then, but he had never said anything.

For so many years, she had been trying to please him and had always been very careful with her words. In his eyes, she was just a joke.

By the time Mrs. You regained her senses, Xia Anlan had already left.

Xia Anlan knew that the children from the orphanage matured early, but Xia rushuang was still a child when she could, so he didn't hold it against her. However, he also knew that one's selfishness could not be changed.

After Xiao' AI was gone, she had been obedient, sensible, and obedient. She had even imitated Xiao' AI, intentionally or otherwise. Xia Anlan felt disgusted by her.

If it were Xia Anlan himself, he would have sent Xia rushuang away a long time ago. However, Xiao' AI 's' death 'had brought too much pain to the family. Xia rushuang could help his parents ease the pain of their daughter's death, so he had tolerated her.
