Chapter 955 Her Flattery Was Just a Joke in His Eyes

Xia Rushuang's heart skipped a beat, her face turned pale instantly, her lips trembled, and she looked at Xia Anlan with a wronged and sad look, "Brother Lan...what's wrong with you?"

Xia Rushuang's eyes were red and she said, "I...yes, I admit that I did tell my uncle about some things about the Yue family, but I was also doing it for Qingsi's good. She is a young girl and can't see many things clearly, but marriage is a major event in a woman's life. If the marriage goes wrong, her life...may be over. I just want Qingsi to be happy, and I also want to do my part. I really don't mean anything else..."

Facing Xia Rushuang's miserable appearance, Xia Anlan did not have any expression, but his eyes became more indifferent and impatient.

"Really? Your purpose is just for Qingsi? Not necessarily."

"Brother Lan, I...really don't know what my purpose is." Xia Rushuang looked at Xia Anlan with a little panic, and her full of grievances were revealed on her face.

Xia Anlan said calmly: "When you came to my house decades ago, Xiao Ai was still very young, only two or three years old. The thrush my father liked suddenly disappeared one day. The servants said they saw you taking Xiao Ai to see it. What did you say at that time?"

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

"You told my father that Xiao Ai insisted on seeing it, so you took it down and gave it to her."

Mrs. You's hands trembled a little. She tried to laugh, but couldn't: "I... can't remember it. It happened decades ago. Brother Lan, why did you suddenly bring it up? Although I don't remember it very clearly, but... we all know that Xiao Ai loved to play when she was a child. She wanted to see it, and I took it down for her, which was also... normal."

Xia Anlan smiled sarcastically. The smile was very light, very shallow, and even less than a second.

But... it was like a thorn that pierced Mrs. You's heart fiercely. Her hands and feet were cold, and her heart was uneasy. Xia Anlan never said useless words.

He suddenly talked about those things. What on earth was he trying to do?

Xia Anlan said coldly: "I can't remember, huh...but why do I remember it so clearly? Maybe you never knew that when you opened the cage and released the thrush, I was standing behind and watching."

Mrs. You suddenly felt that she had fallen into an ice cave, and the bone-piercing coldness penetrated her body, shivering all over.

It turned out that he didn't like her since that time. For so many years, he had always known about that incident. He even witnessed it with his own eyes, but never said it.

For so many years, she had been trying to please him and was always careful to please him, but in his eyes, it was all a joke.

When Mrs. You recovered, Xia Anlan had left without knowing when.

Xia Anlan knew that the children from the orphanage were precocious, but Xia Rushuang was still a child at that time, so he didn't care, but he also knew that a person's selfishness could not be changed.

After Xiao Ai was gone, she showed obedience, sensibility, obedience, and even intentional or unintentional imitation of Xiao Ai, which made Xia Anlan feel disgusted.

If it were Xia Anlan himself, he would have sent Xia Rushuang away long ago. However, Xiao Ai's "death" brought too much pain to this family. Xia Rushuang could help his parents ease the pain of losing their daughter, so he kept tolerating her.
