"Sir, I'm sorry."
Xia Anan murmured in a low voice. She promised that this was the only thing she was hiding from him. Even if she approached him with ulterior motives, she definitely did not have the slightest bad intention towards him. After this matter was over, she would definitely treat him well wholeheartedly.
"Why are you apologizing to me?"
Si Lijue asked.
Xia An 'an was stunned. She reacted quickly and forced a smile. "I shouldn't have asked you about this. I'm sorry for bringing up such sad memories."
"Actually, it's not a big deal. It's all in the past. Speaking of which, I should be thanking that woman. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have been able to climb so high so quickly."
Si Lijue said lightly.
"Oh …"
Xia An 'an replied absent-mindedly.
Suddenly, Si Lijue reached out and grabbed Xia An 'an's hand. Xia An' an was shocked and looked at him in surprise. Si Lijue's expression didn't change as he said, "You don't have to pity me because of that woman. Anyway, I have you now."
Thump.
These words hit the nail on the head.
Xia Anan suddenly felt as if her heart was overturning the seas and rivers. Her chest felt extremely stuffy. These words were simply too heavy for her.
If the matter with her adoptive mother hadn't happened, she would have been very happy. But when she thought about how she had promised her adoptive mother to let her see Si Lijue, and how much Si Lijue trusted her, Xia An 'an almost suffocated from the strong sense of guilt.
Should she tell him about it?
Her relationship with her adoptive mother would be exposed sooner or later. Rather than let Si Lijue find out, she might as well come clean first.
She lowered her eyes and there was a hint of pain in them. "Sir …"
"What is it?"
Si Lijue asked.
Xia An 'an's eyes flashed. She pondered for a few seconds before asking tentatively, "If, and I'm saying if, I'm hiding something from you, will you be angry?"
"What did you do behind my back?"
Si Lijue raised his eyebrows. "According to the severity of the matter, I will consider how to punish you!" It was a very serious sentence, but Si Lijue made it sound so flirtatious. If it was in the past, Xia An 'an would have blushed. But now, her mind was filled with something else, so she couldn't think of anything else. She said, "If I find your mother, she wants to see you."
… "
"You don't have to pay attention to that woman."
Si Lijue immediately replied.
Xia An 'an's words were all blocked by Si Lijue. She laughed dryly and said, "You're right. Sorry, I said the wrong thing."
"Let's not talk about that woman anymore."
"Yes."
Xia An 'an agreed. She looked at Si Lijue and struggled for a long time. In the end, she gave up on telling him. At least, it wouldn't be too late to tell him when their relationship was better. Xia An' an thought.
…
"An An, it's been a week. When will we see Ah Jue?"
When the adoptive mother saw Xia An 'an, she grabbed her arm and asked anxiously.
Xia An 'an comforted her, "Mother, these things need some time to prepare. Don't worry, I will …"
"But it's already been a week. I know this is very difficult for you, but I really just need to see him. Just one look is enough. I definitely won't cause you any trouble. An 'an, I beg you …" The adoptive mother was about to cry as she spoke.
Xia An 'an couldn't handle it. She hurriedly said, "Mother, don't cry. Alright, alright. Don't worry, I will find a way to let you see Ah Jue. Tomorrow, is tomorrow okay?"
"Really?"
The adoptive mother quickly stopped crying and said happily, "An An, you said it yourself. You can really see Ah Jue tomorrow, right?"
Seeing the expectant look on her adoptive mother's face, even if Xia An 'an wanted to go back on her word, it was too late. She nodded and said, "Yes, tomorrow."
"That's great, that's great. I can finally see Ah Jue with my own eyes. After waiting for so long, finally, finally …"
As she spoke, she was on the verge of crying again.
Xia An 'an quickly took a tissue and wiped her tears. She said helplessly, "Mother, didn't I already promise to find a way for you to see Ah Jue? Why are you still crying? "
"Haha, I'm sorry, but I really can't help it. I'm just too happy."
The adoptive mother took a tissue and wiped her tears, chuckling.
Seeing her like this, Xia An 'an couldn't help but think of the past that Si Lijue had told her. She pursed her lips and said calmly, "Ah Jue told me about the past a few days ago."
The adoptive mother was stunned.
Xia An 'an looked at her and said, "Ah Jue said that you took five million dollars and abandoned him. He also said that you gave birth to him because you wanted more money from the Si family."
The smile on the adoptive mother's face gradually faded. Her expression was a little stiff as she said, "Oh, it seems like your relationship with Ah Jue is really good. He even told you these things?" This time, Xia An 'an wouldn't let her adoptive mother off so easily. She held her hand and said, "Mother, I've lived with you for more than ten years. I know what kind of person you are. I don't think you're a materialistic person. Did you have some difficulties in the past? You clearly cared about Ah Jue so much.
Why would you only see him as a money-making tool? "
"An 'an, it's all in the past. Don't talk about it."
The adoptive mother buried her head and said calmly.
Xia An 'an shook her head. She continued to persuade, "Mother, my relationship with Ah Jue now is … very good. If you have difficulties, I can talk to Ah Jue. Do you want to live in a place where Ah Jue doesn't know about you for the rest of your life? Do you only know about his whereabouts through television and magazines?"
"An 'an, I'm begging you. Don't talk about it anymore."
The adoptive mother's voice was much weaker and trembling. "This is my sin in the past. I did give birth to him for money. It was also because of money that I brought him back to the Si family. All of this is my fault. I know that I'm in the wrong. I don't have the face to see that child. Please don't talk about it anymore."
"Mother!"
"An 'an, if you still think of me as your mother, don't talk about this anymore!"
The adoptive mother said sternly. Xia An 'an looked at her adoptive mother's unyielding face. She was angry and annoyed, but there was nothing she could do. If the person involved had an indifferent attitude, then it would be useless no matter how hard they tried. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "I understand. I won't ask again in the future.
”
"An 'an, I'm sorry. Some things can't be explained in a few words. This is my sin …"
Xia An 'an heard this and became even more discouraged.
She sighed and said calmly, "Don't worry, I won't ask again."
"An 'an, I'm sorry."
"It's okay."
Xia An 'an smiled bitterly. "Speaking of which, I'm actually being a busybody. This kind of thing has nothing to do with an outsider like me."
The adoptive mother heard this and quickly shook her head. "An 'an, how can you think like that? I've always treated you like my child. I just don't want you to be involved in this matter! "
"Involved?"
Xia An 'an caught the key word.
The adoptive mother knew that she had said something wrong and quickly shut her mouth.
Xia An 'an knew that if her adoptive mother didn't want to talk about something, she wouldn't say it even if she pried her mouth open. She could only let it go. "Let's go eat first. Then, we'll think about how to let you see Ah Jue."
"Okay, okay."
The adoptive mother agreed.
Xia An 'an brought her out of the hotel.
