âYou lied to me again.â As Nian Xiaomu stretched her legs calmly, she shot Xing Li a slightly chilly glance and said indifferently, âYou told Fan Yu last time that Xing Fang was the one who loved to follow me around, but now you said that the kids in black were other people instead. Do you think that I would still believe your nonsense?â
âXing Fang, itâs Xing Fang. That slut must have liked Young Master Fan too, and so she followed you around secretly all the time⦠No, she wasnât wearing black clothes, her dress was the same as mine. Mummy had bought the dress for me, but she said that she liked it and got another one for herselfâ¦â
Xing Liâs expression turned thoughtful.
It was as if she was starting to doubt herself too.
âIt was Xing Fang. No, it wasnât Xing Fang, that person did not look like Xing Fang⦠But Xing Fang was the one who followed youâ¦â
Xing Li seemed to have stopped at a magic barrier as she kept on repeating the same sentence.
Nian Xiaomu did not continue probing on the question when she saw that her expression didnât seem quite right.
âTell me first. What did the man and woman look like? Do you know their names?â
ââ¦â
Xing Li turned speechless instantly.
All of a sudden, she smiled at her with a playful expression in her eyes.
âYouâre a fool, I said that they were very good looking. This means that they must have looked very good, hahaha!â
ââ¦!!â
âWhatâs their name? Oh yes, whatâs their name?â As Xing Li struggled with her thoughts, she reached out and tried to pull her hair. When she realized that she couldnât move her hands, she was in such discomfort that she banged her head against the headboard.
Nian Xiaomu stopped her from doing so. Then, she took out her cell phone from her bag and opened up the photo gallery.
âIn that case, you should still remember Mr. Cardi, right? Heâs the Xing Familyâs benefactor.â
âHe isnât the Xing Familyâs benefactor, heâs a cheat!â
Unlike the others, it seemed that she did not like Mr. Cardi.
âWhy do you say that he was a cheat? He helped the Xing Family out for so many years.â
With a look of disdain, she scoffed, âHe wasnât the one who helped the Xing Family. The ones who helped the Xing Family were obviously the two very good looking people, heâs only a butler!â
ââ¦â
Nian Xiaomu stood up from the chair all of a sudden, and turned around to look at Yu Yuehan.
Yu Yuehanâs expression changed slightly too.
They had been guessing the identity of Mr. Cardi all along, as well as his reason for helping the Xing Family.
This sentence of Xing Liâs had answered all of their doubts.
Things had become very clear now.
Nian Xiaomu was neither an abandoned child, nor a child that the Xing Family had adopted. Instead, she had been placed in their care.
There were people who went over to visit her frequently too.
It seemed that her family members were the ones who had picked her up from the Xing Family residence 10 years ago.
As such, Shangxin was able to meet Nian Xiaomu in school.
In addition, as the Xing couple had once helped to raise Nian Xiaomu, Mr. Cardi appeared at the Xing Family and helped the remaining members of the family settle down after the Xing Family met with a mishapâ¦
Nian Xiaomu could no longer conceal the emotion in her eyes.
âWhat else do you know? If you donât remember the names of the two people, then you should at least remember their surname, right? Or rather, what was Mr. Cardiâs full name?â
âI donât remember, I donât remember anything.â
All of a sudden, Xing Li shrunk into a ball on the bed and shook her head with all her might.
âDaddy and mummy said that this was a secret that could not be told to others. They would not love me anymore if others knew about itâ¦â
âThey only loved Xing Xing the jinx and no longer loved meâ¦â
âXing Xing is a jinx. If not for her, my daddy and mummy would not have died. She is a jinx, I will never forgive her in my entire lifetimeâ¦â
