"Mom, I'm sorry. I can't do anything about this."
Xia An 'an said apologetically.
"Forget it. It's fine."
Her adoptive mother said, "I believe in my son's charm. Miss He must be someone with good taste. She won't throw a tantrum just because of a moment of neglect."
Xia An 'an continued to agree.
Hearing her adoptive mother's words, although she was upset, there was nothing she could do about it. Since she had already taken advantage of someone else, it didn't seem like a big deal to listen to some heart-wrenching words. After all, her adoptive mother didn't know the real situation.
Xia An 'an was already a bit desperate.
Who knew that her adoptive mother's next sentence would shock her half to death.
"An 'an. Since you're so close to Ah Jue, then I have something I need your help with."
Xia An 'an said, "Mom, just tell me what you need. As long as it's something I can do, I'll definitely help you."
"An 'an, my good daughter. I knew I didn't dote on you for nothing."
Her adoptive mother said with tears in her eyes, "I really want to see Ah Jue and see if he's doing well with my own eyes. I've only seen him in magazines before. I always feel like there's a layer between us. I know I'm being greedy, but I really want to see my son."
Her adoptive mother was about to cry as she spoke. Xia An 'an was shocked beyond words. After a while, she asked with difficulty, "Mom, you want to see Ah Jue?"
"Yes, I know it's hard for you, but I … sob sob sob …"
"Ah, don't cry."
Xia An 'an was the most helpless when it came to her adoptive mother's tears. Whenever she cried, her heart would soften.
"When you come to see Ah Jue, it's not impossible. But I'm not sure how Ah Jue feels about you, so it's probably impossible for you to see him in close proximity. It's basically impossible for you to meet him face to face."
Some things must be said clearly in advance. Otherwise, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.
Her adoptive mother said, "I know, I know. I don't expect to meet Ah Jue face to face. I just want to see him from afar."
"Then, it shouldn't be a problem …"
Xia An 'an said.
"Really?"
Her adoptive mother said happily, "An 'an' an, can you really let me see Ah Jue?"
"… Yeah."
Xia An 'an also understood his adoptive mother's feelings. She hadn't seen her biological son for more than ten years. For a parent, it must be very sad.
The hearts of parents in the world were pitiful.
Xia An 'an knew that it was risky, but he was still willing to take the risk for his adoptive mother.
"Then I'll book a ticket for you. We can talk about it when we meet."
"Alright, alright."
The foster mother said, "An An, thank you so much this time."
"There's no need to be so polite between us."
Xia An 'an booked a ticket for his adoptive mother, but he still felt a little uneasy.
It was time to eat.
Xia An 'an chewed on her rice without tasting it. She stole a glance at Si Lijue. The other party had an indescribable elegance when he ate. His silhouette reminded her of her foster mother. This was probably what they meant by' blood is thicker than water '.
"Why are you looking at me?"
Si Lijue noticed that Xia An 'an had been staring at him the entire night.
Xia An 'an immediately returned to her senses. She laughed dryly and said, "No, nothing."
As she spoke, she lowered her head and continued eating. But not long after, she stole a glance at Si Lijue again.
She really didn't realize how passionate her gaze was.
Si Lijue really couldn't eat under her gaze. He put down his chopsticks. Xia An 'an saw that there were still more than half of the dishes on the table and was stunned for a moment before asking, "Sir, why aren't you eating? Is the food not to your liking? "
"It has nothing to do with the food."
Si Lijue frowned and looked at Xia An 'an. He said, "Tell me, what happened?"
Xia An 'an still wanted to bluff her way out of this.
She avoided his gaze. "Ah, it's nothing."
"Nothing?"
Si Lijue narrowed his eyes and said, "If it's nothing, why do you keep staring at me today?"
"Because you're good-looking."
Xia An 'an muttered softly.
"An An 'an!"
Si Lijue's tone became heavier.
Xia An 'an shrank her neck. Si Lijue controlled his temper and said, "Tell me!"
Xia An 'an: "…"
She hesitated for a moment before finally making up her mind. She said, "Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that I accidentally heard that you used to live with your mother before returning to the Si family …"
Si Lijue's expression darkened as he continued to ask, "And then?"
"I was thinking, if … well, I'm saying if, if there was a chance for you to see your mother again, would you be happy?"
"Impossible!"
Si Lijue's reply was very firm.
Xia An 'an's heart skipped a beat. She asked blankly, "Wh … why?"
Si Lijue's gaze turned extremely cold. He said, "Why would I want to see a greedy and vain woman who abandoned me? Since she chose to disappear back then, then she should disappear for the rest of her life. There's no need to see her now. "
Xia An 'an was a little anxious.
"But, what if, what if your mother had her reasons?"
"What reasons?"
Si Lijue sneered. "Back then, you slept with my father for money. You gave birth to me so that you could get more money from the Si family. In the end, that was indeed the case. I was used as a bargaining chip and earned a huge sum of money. Who knows, maybe I'm still living a carefree life somewhere."
"It's not like that …"
Xia An 'an recalled the first time she met her foster mother. She was actually living a very poor life and didn't have much money on her. Otherwise, the two of them wouldn't have worked on a voyage ship for so many years. There must be a misunderstanding here.
Si Lijue misunderstood.
"Ah Jue, maybe …"
"I don't want to talk about this anymore!" Si Lijue suddenly stood up. His expression was gloomy and he emitted a vicious aura. It was obvious that she had touched his minefield. He looked at Xia An 'an and said word by word, "An, I don't know where you heard this from, but I have nothing to do with that woman anymore! And I don't want to.
If I hear another word about her, don't ever mention her in front of me again! It makes me sick! "
After speaking, Si Lijue went upstairs. Xia Anan sat in her seat in a daze. She had been with Si Lijue for so long, but she had never heard him talk about his mother. However, her cooking was similar to her adoptive mother's and Si Lijue liked to eat it. She thought that Si Lijue still had some attachment to his adoptive mother.
But now, it seemed like that wasn't the case.
He hated this mother so much that he didn't even want to talk about her.
Xia An 'an was a little uneasy.
Was it really the right decision to let her meet Si Lijue this time?
Her heart was beating very fast.
Xia An 'an pressed her chest, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.
What should she do?
