Chapter 284 Showdown

Shen Xinglan took A Miao to the cemetery.

“You should talk to her!” He touched A Miao’s head, as they walked toward her mother’s tombstone.

A Miao put down the lilies she bought on the way to the cemetery. “If my mother were still alive, I’m afraid she would feel hurt.”

The man she had been waiting for a lifetime, had not only forgotten her, but had also married another woman and had children. He was useless and lived a lousy life. However, in the end, it turned out that he was an innocent victim.

“It’s ironic.” A Miao looked at the photo on the tombstone, in which her mother was smiling like a flower in bloom.

Shen Xinglan gripped her hand. “Are you feeling helpless?”

Whose fault was it? Fate or life? Who was to blame?

“Fortunately, we don’t miss each other!” A Miao once again lamented.

“Yes!” Shen Xinglan squeezed her. “We are happier than them.”

While A Miao talked to her mother, Shen Xinglan stood far away, waiting for her. When it was dark, she came over and hugged him.

“I want him to wake up.”

“Then he will wake up.” Shen Xinglan held A Miao’s face gently. “You are not being selfish. You should not feel guilty.”

A Miao tried hard not to cry, “I don’t want my mom to be lonely beneath the earth. I want him, the man she loved, to tell her that her wait and persistence were not in vain.”

“I know, I know!” Shen Xinglan bent over. “Come on. I will bring you out.”

A Miao’s choice seemed very cruel to A Min. The man might not be able to face up to himself or continue with his life, after he woke up, but she still chose to wake him up. In A Miao’s heart, her mother was more important.

So… she had to be cruel to the other.

“Young Master.”

Yu Sihan leisurely lounged on a sofa, his finger flicking at the screen.

“What’s up?”

“Shen Xinglan is inviting you to have dinner at his home.”

Yu Sihan, “…”

“Is he crazy?”

Although the subordinate agreed with him, he dared not express his opinion.

“Just in time. I have a gift for Yaya!” Yu Sihan’s finger swept across the screen.

When A Miao learnt that Shen Xinglan had invited Yu Sihan to their home, she felt very puzzled.

“Are you going to confront him?” A Miao looked at him in dissatisfaction. “He won’t admit it.”

Yu Sihan didn’t say anything when they landed on the island, so he did not give them any explanation this time.

“That’s because we knew too little before.” Shen Xinglan comforted her, “From sending the fake Shanshan, planting the vermin, to leading us to the island to find treasure, he is not capable of doing all these things, at his age.”

What role was Yu Sihan playing in the conspiracy that had lasted for decades?

“I don’t think he will tell us.” A Miao knew him well. He was a completely abnormal person.

Shen Xinglan smiled and said, “This time, we took the initiative.”

“Ah?” A Miao did not understand.

“Wait and see tomorrow!”

On the weekend, Yu Sihan was on time for his appointment.

“Why were you so nice to invite me?” He looked around as he walked in, “Where is Yaya?”

Shen Xinglan glanced at the box in his hand. “Even if I did not invite you, you will still come.”

Yu Sihan kept visiting them once every three days, basically.

“You got me there.” The pretty boy sat down. “So are you suggesting that I am up to something?” Before that, first, tell me where Yaya is?”

Yu Sihan carried too many secrets, and they were related to the vermin in Yaya. If not because of these secrets, Shen Xinglan would not have been so polite to him, or given him any chance to get near Yaya.

“She is sleeping.” Shen Xinglan pointed at the box. “Don’t buy strange things for my daughter.”

The teddy bear had not been fixed yet.

“I don’t think you make a good father.” Yu Sihan said, while opening the box.

Inside was an adorable pink wooden horse—shaped like an elephant, with a circle of hair on the tail.

“Pfft…” Shen Xinglan stared at it with a contemptuous look. “It is too late. Yaya already has one.”

He Shishi and A Miao liked shopping on the Internet, and the toys they bought filled up Yaya’s room.

“I have modified this.” Yu Sihan put the elephant on the floor, “Can the one you buy run by itself?”

Shen Xinglan’s face darkened. “I told you don’t buy that strange thing for Yaya.”

“How could it be strange?” Yu Sihan pressed the button, and the elephant glided on the floor slowly and smoothly.

“See, how interesting!” The young boy showed off, “Yaya can run around the room with this elephant.”

Shen Xinglan said coldly, “She is still learning to walk. She doesn’t need this kind of thing yet.”

“You are not Yaya.” Yu Sihan said faintly.
