Xiao Zhi looked rather haggard. It would be far-fetched to say that she was Aunt Lanâs twin sister. She looked much older than Auntie Lan.
She and Auntie Lan were both born beautiful. However, Xiao Zhi looked like a normal fifty-something-year-old woman now.
The former president and Miss Angel standing behind her had completely lost their former glory, and their faces were covered in dust.
It was really hard to predict the affairs of the world.
Jing Tian didnât exchange pleasantries. He dragged me to the sofa and sat down, with Gao Da standing behind us.
Before Jing Tian could say anything, Xiao Zhi had already stepped forward to ingratiate herself with him. âJing Tian, thank you for letting us in. Thank you for taking us in.â
Jing Tian said indifferently, âLady An, youâve misunderstood. I didnât intend to take you in. Itâs just that my subordinates said that you were an eyesore at the gate, so I let you in. Since youâre here, Iâll ask you what youâre here for.â
Xiao Zhi didnât care about Jing Tianâs indifferent attitude, as if she hadnât heard him. âJing Tian, your mother and I are twins. How many lifetimes do you think weâre destined to be together?
âYour mother and I have been through a lot in our lives. Itâs not easy. Weâve both done a lot of wrong things, but in this life, how can we not make mistakes? The most important thing is that we can correct our mistakes, donât you think so?
âI came here to sincerely apologize to your mother. I really regret it. I really know that I was wrong. In this world, she is the only person who is related to me by blood. We must support each other so that we wonât be bullied by outsiders. Donât you think so?â
Xiao Zhi was indeed good at avoiding the important points and playing the card of kinship.
Jing Tian glanced at her indifferently. âI donât think so. My father and I wonât allow anyone to bully her. In this lifetime, she only needs to do what she likes according to her will. She doesnât need to feel wronged.â
Xiao Zhi was at a loss for words. She hesitated for a moment. âThen, can you let us meet? In any case, let me apologize to her face to face.â
âWhat do you want to apologize for?â Jing Tian asked.
Xiao Zhi shrank back and mumbled, unable to say anything.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Jing Tian looked at her quietly and didnât say anything.
Xiao Zhi stuttered and didnât say anything for a long time.
The father and daughter of the An family behind her were a little anxious. Angel even stepped forward and tugged at the corner of her clothes.
Xiao Zhi pushed away Angelâs hand and puffed up her chest, pleading, âJing Tian, let me see your mother. I have something I want to say to her face to face. I beg you.â
As she spoke, her knees gave way, and she knelt down.
Jing Tian raised his eyebrows and stared at Xiao Zhi.
Under Jing Tianâs gaze, Xiao Zhi braced herself and said, âI know that Iâve committed a grave sin, so I want to see her face to face and apologize. I beg you.â
Jing Tian looked at them and said slowly, âYouâre not here to see whether my mother is dead or not, are you?â
The three of them were shocked.
Xiao Zhi asked in surprise, âW-what did you say?â
Jing Tian looked at her. âDonât you want to know if my mom was bitten by a snake, poisoned, and died?â
Xiao Zhi was extremely shocked. âYou said that Xiao Lan was bitten by a snake? Poisoned? When did this happen?â
Jing Tian didnât say anything.
Xiao Zhi knelt down and took a step forward. âWhen did this happen? How did she get bitten by a snake?â
I looked at Xiao Zhi in confusion, then at Jing Tian. It didnât seem like Xiao Zhi was lying.
Jing Tian looked at Xiao Zhi with a profound gaze.
