From her mother's words, Xue Lier realized that they had long known that she had married Rashid. This indirectly confirmed what An Jinli had said.
"Mom..." Xue Li'er's eyes suddenly turned cold. "Did you and my dad already know that I was captured by Rashid?"
Zhang Man realized that she had said something wrong, her eyes flickered, and she didn't dare to look into Xue Li'er's eyes.
"No... no..." Zhang Man was a little panicked, "We didn't..."
"Don't lie to me anymore!" Xue Li'er roared, "You've already said it just now, why don't you admit it?"
Zhang Man was very flustered by Xue Li'er's questioning. She knew her daughter was not as weak as she seemed.
"Li'er... listen to me..." Zhang Man struggled to form her words. "Your father and I are at our wit's end. When you disappeared, your father and I secretly searched for you, fearing something might ruin your reputation. But after three days of searching, An Jinli showed up and said you'd been in Amman with a Middle Eastern man named Rashid."
"Then...then a week later, An Jinli sent photos of you and Rashid's wedding to your father and told us that you had married Rashid. He reassured us."
"Who should reassure you about, my safety or Rashid's huge sum of money?" Xue Li'er raised her eyebrows and glared at Zhang Man.
"That money...that money..." Zhang Man began to speak incoherently. "An Jinli said that the money was a betrothal gift from Rashid, so...that's why your father and I accepted it."
"Don't you find it strange?" Xue Li'er said coldly, looking at Zhang Man's bewildered expression. "I was clearly in a relationship with Nan Xun, so how could I go to Amman and marry an old Middle Eastern man without saying a word?"
"That's...that's...An Jinli said it was because you saw Nanxun's parents pass away, and Nanyu lost such a big business deal, and you thought Nanyu would go bankrupt. So you married his partner. He said...that Rashid has a huge influence in the Middle East. It's enough to make you live comfortably for the rest of your life..."
"An Jinli! An Jinli! An Jinli!" Xue Li'er yelled frantically, "Do you trust An Jinli so much? You didn't even find out how your daughter got to Anman, and you accepted his money?"
"Li'er... Mom doesn't know... It's your dad. He said he's already contacted Rashid and said he's a good candidate for son-in-law. With his abilities, he'll be very helpful to our Xue family in the future... He said, he said Rashid is much more reliable than Nanxun..."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Hearing Zhang Man's words, Xue Li'er couldn't help but burst out laughing. But for some reason, her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife, and the pain was unbearable.
"An Jinli is right." Xue Li'er smiled with tears in her eyes. "As long as it benefits the Xue family, you will do whatever it takes, even if it means selling me out..."
"Li'er, it's not like that. Mom... Mom was against it too. But you know, you've always been the one who has the final say in the family." Zhang Man looked pitiful. "I'm getting older, and your dad has become increasingly disdainful of me. Whenever I have an opinion, he speaks harshly to me. And... and at that time, the Nan couple died unexpectedly, and Nanyu was really on the verge of collapse. That's why your dad and I thought it would be good to have a son-in-law like Rashid... But who could have imagined that Nanxun was so capable. In just a few years, he not only brought Nanyu back to life, but also made it bigger and bigger... Sigh... To be honest, we were wrong..."
