The middle-aged woman was angry and annoyed. When she saw that her daughter was not in the living room, she frowned and immediately asked the nanny, "Auntie Zhang, where is the young lady? Isn't she home?"
Her face looked extremely ugly, and she was surrounded by raging anger because she realized that her daughter had lied to her.
A few days ago, Lanlan suddenly asked her for 20,000 yuan, saying that her future son-in-law wanted to start a business with a friend, and the money on hand was not enough, and he was still short of more than 20,000 yuan, so she asked her if she could lend 20,000 yuan to Xu Yang first.
She said that she would return the money to her once Xu Yang built up his business and had enough money to make ends meet.
She believed it!
I thought my daughter was really borrowing money for her future son-in-law, but who knew...
This afternoon, while playing mahjong with someone, she heard that her son-in-law had never done any business and didn't even have the idea of starting a business.
When she thought that her daughter had actually cheated on her, she was so angry that she had no intention of playing cards. She left the teahouse in a hurry and rushed back.
"Yes, the young lady is upstairs." Aunt Zhang responded immediately.
While speaking, she quickly and secretly observed the lady's face. Seeing that the lady looked a little unhappy, she stood quietly aside after saying this.
As a nanny, she dared not say anything about her master's affairs.
When she heard that Xia Lanlan was in the bedroom, Mrs. Xia immediately ordered Zhang Ma in a bad mood, "Go up and call her. Tell her to come down to the living room to see me immediately. Tell her to hurry up. I have something to ask her."
Aunt Zhang didn't dare to delay any longer. She responded hurriedly and went upstairs.
Within two minutes, a young woman in a yellow dress walked out of the bedroom and went downstairs happily.
"Mom, why did you finish playing cards so early today? I heard from Aunt Zhang that you had something to tell me. What is it?"
She walked downstairs quickly and smiled at Mrs. Xia who was sitting on the sofa. Her face was full of joy. She had no idea that her lie had been discovered by Mrs. Xia.
And at this moment, her mother is doubting herself.
"Well, it's over." Mrs. Xia responded indifferently. Her voice sounded a little stiff. She clenched her fists tightly and tried hard to control her inner emotional fluctuations.
She looked straight at Xia Lanlan, her eyes flashing with a complex and incomprehensible emotion.
Suddenly, she found herself feeling a sense of strangeness towards the daughter she had raised.
Mrs. Xia, who once thought she knew her daughter well, suddenly found that she could not see through Xia Lanlan.
Is it because I indulged Lanlan too much in the past that she learned to lie to her mother?
This thought kept circling in Mrs. Xia's mind, making her feel flustered, as if something was out of her control, making her feel vaguely uneasy.
Xia Lanlan also keenly caught the change in her mother's expression, and a trace of panic inexplicably surged in her heart.
She frowned and was stunned for a moment, then quickly walked to her mother's side and hugged Xia's mother's arm naturally and familiarly.
With concern, he asked, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so unhappy? Did you lose again? Or did someone make you angry while you were playing cards?"
There was a hint of concern and worry in her tone, but at the same time, it was also tentative.
"I did feel a little irritated, but not because of playing cards. Rather, I heard something that made me feel angry, even furious!"
Mrs. Xia spoke with a double meaning. While she was speaking, her eyes were always paying attention to the expression on Xia Lanlan's face, trying to catch some clues from her daughter's expression.
