668 Flesh & Blood (1/2)

Xin Suyin didn't know what reaction she had expected to see but Chen Xiu's reaction didn't bring any satisfaction to her. Xiu's brain had completely stopped working at this point. She always thought she was an illegitimate daughter but to know that Liu Nuan was her sister, broke something within her.

While Xiu's brain was lost between reality and unconsciousness, Xin Suyin's phone rang. Changing her tone, she picked up the call, ”Hello, elder brother, is everything alright?” She was silent as she listened to the other side before gasping in shock, ”What? How did this happen to sister Huan? Which hospital is she in? I'll be right there.”

As she hung up the call, her expressions changed again as she laughed out. ”Bloody hell! You young girls really are fun to play with. Here you are who easily got herself kidnapped and then there is another naive little girl who took my bait and drove her mother to death. Hahaha! This is exciting!”

Chen Xiu had no idea what she was saying. She neither had the energy nor did her brain had the awareness of anything else.

Getting no reaction from Xiu, Xin Suyin tapped the armrest of her chair for a minute before waving at her subordinates, ”She is not as fun as I thought she'd be. How about you bring the other one?”

Soon someone brought a table and a laptop. There was a call going on when it got connected, Xin Suyin smiled brightly at the woman on the screen, ”Who are you this fine day, Chen Hana?”

Yes, the woman on the screen was Chen Xiu's mother and manager, Chen Hana.

”You seem really bored,” was Chen Hana's indifferent response.

But it amused Xin Suyin who had her legs over the table and leaned back in her chair in a relaxed posture as she said, ”As expected, you still know me the best.”

”One should know one's enemies,” responded Chen Hana. ”Now, get to the point. Don't waste my time.”

”I should really not waste your time, you must be really busy looking for your daughter right now,” said Xin Suyin, suggestively.

Chen Hana's brows raised slightly, ”And why would I be doing that?”

Xin Suyin frowned at Chen Hana's calm and indifferent reaction, ”You don't even know that your daughter had not been home for the past four days?”

Chen Hana shrugged her shoulders, ”She always had the habit of running away without a word. It's no big deal.”

Xin Suyin's eyes narrowed as she sat up and turned the screen around, allowing Chen Hana to get the perfect view of Chen Xiu's state. She came before the screen to see the desperation and helplessness in Chen Hana's eyes that she had seen decades ago but to her dismay, the other woman was too nonchalant as she said, ”Oh. She's with you.”

”That's it? Don't you have anything else to say?”

”Well, I was hoping one of those reactions. But aren't you giving too bland of a reaction for your own flesh and blood?” Xin Suyin was feeling uneasy about Chen Hana's reaction. She didn't know why but she could feel it. Something was wrong in this situation.
