A strange look flashed across Shu Youkang's eyes. He patted Shuxin's shoulder lightly and got up. "It's getting late. Go back to your room and sleep. Dad still has some documents to deal with."
This was not the first time Shuxin had asked about her mother, but Shu Youkang had never told her. Besides knowing that her mother's name was Jian Ruolan, Shuxin did not know anything else about her mother. She did not even know what her mother looked like. There was not a single photo of her mother in the house, nor was there anything she had left behind.
In the past, Shuxin thought that Shu Youkang was afraid that he would think of her when he looked at things, so he kept everything related to her mother. But now, Shui Xin felt that this was not the case. Every time she mentioned her mother, Shu Youkang's eyes would be especially intense. It was not sadness, but … resentment? Guilt? Hard to let go?
Shuxin did not understand, but she felt that Shu Youkang must be hiding something from her.
…
Shuxin came out of the office and saw Shu Mengling standing at the door.
After Jiang Tingrou's incident was exposed, Shu Mengling was chased out of the Shu family by Shu Youkang.
Now that both of them had fallen out, Shuxin could not understand why Shu Mengling was still looking for her.
Shuxin ignored Shu Mengling and walked past her.
Shu Mengling saw that Shuxin was treating her like air, and hatred flashed across her eyes. But when she thought of what she had told Shuxin when she met Jiang Tingrou today, she was very happy. Go ahead, you'll beg me later. Hmph!
"Your mother is not dead."
Shuxin heard Shu Mengling's words and stopped in her tracks. She was silent for two seconds before she turned around. "What are you trying to say?"
Shu Mengling's eyes were filled with a victorious smile. Don't look back if you dare. "My mother's case will be heard tomorrow. As long as you can get President Huo to withdraw the lawsuit, I will tell you about your mother."
Shuxin lowered her eyes as if she was thinking. When she lifted her eyes, she smiled. "You want to make up a story to trick me into letting Jiang Tingrou go? Dream on! "
After Shuxin finished speaking, she turned around and left without hesitation.
Shu Mengling panicked. Why was Shuxin's reaction completely different from what she had imagined?
She didn't ask where her mother was?
Instead, he felt that she was lying and completely disdained her.
Jiang Tingrou didn't say that this would happen. What should she do?
Seeing that Shuxin was about to disappear from her sight, Shu Mengling hurriedly chased after her. "I didn't lie to you. What I said is true. Your mother didn't bleed out, and she didn't die."
Shu Xin gave Shu Mengling a look that said, "Keep making up stories." The corners of her mouth curled up into a nonchalant smile, but the hands by her side slightly clenched.
"Your mother didn't die. She ran away with another man …"
"I dare you to say another word of nonsense." Shuxin suddenly turned around and glared at Shu Mengling.
Shu Mengling shuddered under Shuxin's glare. She never knew that Shuxin's gaze could be so sharp. However, in order to save Jiang Tingrou, Shu Mengling mustered up her courage and said, "What I said is true. Your mother abandoned her husband and children for another man, so Grandma didn't like you since you were young. Dad didn't want you to know, so he kept it from you. Also, my mother said that only she knows where your mother is. If you want to see your mother, ask President Huo to withdraw the lawsuit. "
Shuxin's hands clenched and relaxed. After a while, she smiled carelessly. "First of all, I won't fall for your trick. Second, even if what you said is true, I don't care. As for your mother, she can wait to go to jail."
