Video #183: Who exactly are you?
Gu Mingxia stood up, venting her resentment and pain with emotion.
If all the suspicions are true, how can she accept a mother like that?
Her mother has always been the most important person in her life, but now she has suddenly become someone who wants her dead at any moment. If she is not mistaken, the person behind Ah Xin is very likely to be her.
How many heartless mothers in this world would treat their own daughters like this?
Gu Mingxia felt she couldn't bear to think about such things; every time she did, her heart ached so much she could barely breathe.
For so long, she had been running away, running away from the truth of all the doubts. Now, facing such a direct result, Gu Mingxia felt that she no longer had any reason to run away.
Faced with Gu Mingxia's loss of control, Xiao Yan remained silent.
Indeed, if everything she said was true, then Nan Lan was truly the most ruthless and cold-blooded mother he had ever met. Xiao Yan really didn't know what to say. The Nan Lan that Gu Mingxia described was completely different from the gentle woman in his memory who always had a warm smile on her lips. How could he believe it?
"Xiaxia, maybe we should investigate everything thoroughly, we...we..."
"Are you speechless now? Do you also feel that a mother like this doesn't deserve forgiveness at all? Do you...?"
"Xiaxia!"
Before Gu Mingxia could finish speaking, she fell straight backward. Xiao Yan quickly walked over and caught her as she collapsed unconscious, his anxious expression clearly visible on his face.
Her face was pale, clearly unable to withstand such a blow. Xiao Yan lovingly carried her to the bed and sighed helplessly. Things seemed to be getting more and more complicated. If Aunt Nan Lan did all of this, then what were her purpose and motive?
Xiao Yan was also a little confused. It seemed that everything was beyond the most basic understanding of ordinary people, but such a thing happened right in front of him, and it happened to the woman he loved most.
"Xiaxia, don't worry, I will definitely help you find out the whole truth. Don't worry, if Aunt Nanlan is really the kind of person you say she is, I will definitely stand by your side and support you!"
He knew that Gu Mingxia's biggest weakness was her mother and younger brother, and now he was shocked to discover that everything was orchestrated by her beloved mother. Xiao Yan felt that it was already quite remarkable that she hadn't broken down.
The nights in South Africa are always particularly dark. A woman in a black dress sat by the window, the long black veil of her hat slightly lifted so she could smoke.
Slender fingers deftly brought the cigarette to her lips, took a deep drag, and exhaled a thick cloud of smoke. Beneath the hazy, ethereal smoke, everything seemed so unreal.
On a dark night, a woman with a slender figure sits on the balcony, smoking and exhaling smoke into the empty night sky. She always looks so illusory and unreal, yet this unreality is undeniably real.
For many years, she had grown accustomed to living with her face covered, everything hidden beneath this long veil, just as no one could see her true face, and she was unwilling to look at this dirty world.
That girl has accumulated so much cash; it seems she must have a considerable amount of fixed assets. Judging from that, Gu Huaikun must treat her quite well!
But so what? The most untrustworthy people in this world are men. If you trust a man, all that awaits you in the end is heartbreak and helplessness, just like she did back then!
Those beautiful years were wasted on men. She gave her whole heart, only to be left heartbroken for the rest of her life. She even developed heart palpitations from the grief. But what could she do?
Even if she died, she couldn't earn a single glance from that man. In his heart, she would never be as good as his family, his business, his money, or even his many mistresses!
How ironic this is! Thinking of this, the woman in the black dress chuckled softly, her laughter laced with mockery.
If she had a choice, she felt she would never choose to fall in love with a man, because once she did, she would inevitably be left heartbroken forever!
After stubbing out her cigarette, the woman in the black dress got up and went into the bedroom. She casually lay down on the bed, and her slender figure exuded a captivating allure and beauty.
One can imagine how beautiful and alluring her face must have been under the veil. Indeed, the long veil completely covered her face, leaving no gaps to see it.
She picked up the laptop from beside her pillow, turned it on deftly, and then sat up against the headboard, staring blankly at the boot screen.
After a while, she opened the website and checked her bank card balance again. Sure enough, the girl had transferred the money back.
How could she forget that girl who was able to scheme against people's hearts since she was eight years old?
While other wealthy heiresses flitted among countless handsome men like butterflies, that girl was studying hard at school. There's a saying...
Those who are prettier than her don't have her grades; those who have better grades aren't as rich; those who are richer don't have her family background; and those who have a better family background aren't as pretty!
That girl was a top student among wealthy socialites. Thinking about it, the woman in the black dress kept moving her fingers on the keyboard and finally found an MSN number. She hesitated for a moment before clicking on it.
In this world, success never comes without a reason. Just like how she became a computer expert after nearly ten years of hard work, and that girl? Everything she has achieved must also be inseparable from hard work!
But what's the use? Once some things start, there's no going back. Thinking this, the woman in the black dress started typing rapidly again, and soon a friend request was sent.
Sure enough, less than five minutes later, a message came that the request had been approved. The woman in the black dress chuckled, opened the chat interface, and sent a video request directly.
Xiao Yan sat at the table, looking at the flashing video request on Gu Mingxia's laptop. He checked her friend profile, which was blank except for a picture of her wearing a long veil.
He hesitated for a moment, but still decisively clicked "accept". Soon, the video call was connected. On the other end was a person whose face was covered by a long veil, leaning against the headboard. He frowned. Do people nowadays have to wear strange clothes to strike up a conversation?
"How could it be you?"
Before Xiao Yan could speak, the woman in the black dress spoke up, and Xiao Yan's brows furrowed even more deeply.
So it was a woman, but her voice sounded so familiar? Had he heard it before? But why couldn't he remember?
"You know me?"
"I don't know her! It's just strange that the information clearly says she's a woman, but the video shows a man!"
The woman in the black dress spoke in a serious and emotionless tone. Xiao Yan's brows remained furrowed. For some reason, he felt that he must know the woman opposite him. Just from her voice, he knew that she definitely knew him too!
"You know Xiaxia?"
"Xiaxia? I guess we know each other! I just don't know if she remembers me."
The woman in the black dress spoke with a hint of emotion, and a thought flashed through Xiao Yan's mind, but he didn't grasp it.
He stared intently at the woman in the video; the long black veil completely covered her face and neck, making it impossible for him to see what she actually looked like.
But this person knows Xiaxia. Could it be that she is the person Xiaxia saw in South Africa who looks just like Aunt Nanlan? Or is this person Aunt Nanlan herself?
Many things rushed into Xiao Yan's mind. His brows furrowed even more, and he stared at the woman in the black dress for a long time before speaking again.
"Are you Aunt Nanlan?"
"ah?"
The person on the other end of the video call was clearly taken aback by Xiao Yan's question, but quickly regained their serious tone.
"I am not the Aunt Nanlan you are talking about!"
This explanation left Xiao Yan puzzled, but he quickly smiled and didn't pursue the topic further.
"What do you need Xiaxia for?"
The woman in the black dress was also surprised by Xiao Yan's sudden change of topic. Although there was a veil between them, Xiao Yan still noticed her astonishment.
"It's nothing, I just wanted to see her... Is she alright now?"
He simply wanted to see if Xiaxia was alright. Was there anything else going on? Although Xiao Yan was puzzled, he didn't ask. He just went along with what the woman in the black dress was saying.
"Xiaxia is doing well and living a good life, so you can rest assured!"
Xiao Yan's words, though brief, were direct, and the woman in the black dress nodded slightly.
"Since she's doing well, I'm relieved as an old acquaintance. Goodbye!"
"Aunt Nanlan?"
"ah!"
Just as the woman in the black dress was about to turn off the video, Xiao Yan suddenly shouted, but after her initial surprise, she quickly regained her composure.
"I'm not the Aunt Nanlan you're talking about, you've mistaken me for someone else!"
"Then who exactly are you? You must know me, right?"
"I don't know what you're talking about, but I can assure you that I am not the Aunt Nanlan you're looking for, and I don't know you!"
After the woman in the black dress finished speaking, she turned off the video. Xiao Yan stared at the calm computer screen for a long time before a smile appeared on his lips.
This seems to be getting more and more interesting, even more interesting than what he's going to do when he comes back. But... what will Xiaxia do in the future?
"Xiaxia, if you knew what I was going to do, would you still love me and believe in me as much as you do now? Would you still stand by my marriage proposal? But Xiaxia, you have to believe me. No matter what I'm about to do, my heart for you and my love for you will never change. You are you, and what I want to do is what I want to do. It has nothing to do with you!"
