Xia Lanlan felt her father's scrutinizing gaze and suddenly became flustered and uneasy.
She tried to hide her uneasiness with a smile, but the panic that flashed across her eyes was still keenly caught by Mrs. Xia.
Mrs. Xia's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.
Could it be that Lanlan was really hiding something from her?
As soon as this thought came to her mind, it was like a seed of doubt that took root in her heart, making her feel even heavier.
Xia Lanlan quickly asked: "Mom, what happened that made you so angry?"
Her face showed her concern for Xia Li, but she couldn't help but feel nervous deep down.
She didn't know why, but her eyelids kept twitching that day, as if something big was about to happen, which made her feel very uneasy.
I have never felt this uneasy before.
However, after she cheated Xia's father and Xia Xi and took the 20,000 yuan from them, she could no longer calm down.
"Lanlan, tell your mother the truth, are you hiding anything from us?" Mrs. Xia thought about it and finally decided to give her daughter a chance to confess.
In fact, what Mrs. Xia really cared about was not the 20,000 yuan, but her daughter's lie to her for money, which made her angry and disappointed.
Hearing Xia Li's question suddenly, Xia Lanlan's face froze and the smile on her face became a little unnatural, but she quickly recovered.
She smiled at Xia Li, trying to use her smile to cover up her nervousness, "How, how could it be? What could I hide from you? Mom, you brought me up, don't you and Dad understand my personality?"

This time, her tone was obviously sharper than before.
This made Xia Lanlan's heart beat half a beat faster.
"Yes, I am sure!"
Xia Lanlan quickly responded with a smile and a nod, trying to make her smile look as natural as possible, but her tongue was a little tied and even her eyes became evasive.
She was suddenly in a panic, and quickly shook Xia Li's arm and said coquettishly, "Mom, what's wrong with you? Did someone gossip about me in front of you?"
After she finished speaking, her face was instantly filled with grievance, tears flashed in her eyes, and she looked as if she had been wronged.
Mrs. Xia's heart softened when she saw her daughter's aggrieved look, and the sharpness in her eyes unconsciously diminished a little. But when she thought about what her father had heard outside, her anger returned instantly.
As the saying goes, there is no wind without waves!
Since the other party dared to say it in front of so many people, it means that this matter is most likely true.
Whenever Mrs. Xia wanted to tell her daughter that she was hiding something from her, her attitude became tough again. She asked Xia Lanlan directly, "Lanlan, since you said you didn't hide anything from us."
"Well, then let me ask you, what did you do with the 20,000 yuan you took from me a few days ago?"
"I......"
