Chapter 787 - Crawled Out Of Her Grave (1/2)
Seeing this Xiao Li's headache worsened and so did his anger. And noticing how he was emitting a dark aura, everyone around him took a step back.
Xiao Li clenched his jaw and closed his eyes. He took three deep breaths before he opened his eyes again. As if nothing happened, he said, ”Wake her up. I don't have time for her tantrums.”
”Yes, Master!”
Xiao Li left the room and was met with his father's inquisitive gaze. Being under his father's scrutinizing eyes was never a good experience.
”What nonsense were you talking about?” asked Xin Zimen with a perplexed look in his eyes.
”I didn't talk any nonsense,” replied Xiao Li and turned to someone. ”Prepare tea for my dad.”
That person replied politely, ”The tea is already served, Master Li. This way...”
Xiao Li nodded his head and followed that person. He knew his father would eventually follow him as well so he didn't say anything to him. Indeed, Xin Zimen silently followed him and came to a sitting area.
Seeing how Xiao Li just sat down languidly without giving him the real answer, Xin Zimen was irked but he wasn't an impatient person either. He masked his emotions and sat down. Taking a cup of tea, he even took a sip, feeling relaxed.
”I know you want her to confess but don't play with her emotions,” said Xin Zimen. Xiao Li lifted his eyes to look at his father. ”At this rate, she might have a mental breakdown.”
Xiao Li chuckled at his father's words, ”Dad, do you think I was lying to her?” Xin Zimen frowned slightly at his expressions. ”I'd never lie about such a thing. When I said Jinhai and Aunt Suyin doesn't love her, I was speaking the absolute truth.”
Xin Zimen straightened up, ”What do you mean?” He was really confused now. ”I know I have been staying away from any news regarding the Xin family, but I can't be that oblivious. Haven't Jinhai and Nuan loved each other since they were young?”
Xin Xiaoli snorted, ”No, they didn't. Because of that stupid verbal engagement between them, she ended up forcing him to marry her. Even when he had been in love with someone else.” He took a pause and went on, ”As for Aunt Suyin, I haven't been able to figure out what's going on with her.”
”What do you mean?”
Xiao Li leaned his head back as he went on, ”Aunt Suyin went to extreme limits to make sure Nuan gets what she wants in her life. It had always been like that. But lately, she had become distant from Liu Nuan. Almost like a stranger.” He shook his head and rephrased, ”No, it's right to say that Aunt Suyin treats Liu Nuan like a villain. She is so hostile whenever she looks at her own daughter. And just now, Liu Nuan confirmed my conjectures. Something did happen between this pair of mother-daughter. But the question is what?”
