Xia Lanlan was just about to say that she had given the money to Xu Yang for business, but her father's words made her feel like she was struck by lightning, and she was stunned for a moment.
"Lanlan, I saw Xu Yang this afternoon. He has come from another province."
In fact, Mrs. Xia deliberately framed Xia Lanlan just to see her reaction, because she knew Xu Yanggen would not come.
But she never expected that after Xia Lanlan heard these words, her face suddenly turned pale...
"Yes, really? He came so soon?" Xia Lanlan's voice trembled slightly.
She tried desperately to calm herself down, but found that she could not hide her inner uneasiness.
My mind is in a mess.
She didn't know how much the cousin knew, or maybe the cousin was just hearing it from hearsay and had no actual evidence...
In short, at this moment, countless questions were intertwined in Xia Lanlan's mind.
Especially when he thought about being caught lying by his relative, a feeling of suffocation swept over his whole body.
Xia Lanlan looked at Xia Li in panic, her lips slightly parted, wanting to explain, "Mom, I actually gave the money to... gave it to..."
"Xia Lanlan!"
When Mrs. Xia saw that Xia Lanlan was still trying to find excuses to put her off even after she had said so much, she got so angry that she slammed the coffee table.
She glared at Xia Lanlan angrily, her tone even sharper than before, "How did I teach you? I raised you with great difficulty, paid for your education, and sent you to learn talents, all in the hope that you could marry into a good family and get married in the future..."
"How dare you lie to me now! You've read so many books for so many years, but have you lost everything?"
Xia Li's voice was full of sadness and blame.
She suddenly felt that all her hard work over the years had been wasted!
Although Xia Lanlan was not conceived by her, after she decided to bring Xia Lanlan home to raise her, she treated her as her own daughter.
Over the years, she and Lao Xia have always held Lan Lan in their hands, giving her whatever she wants and never treating her badly.
But now, her daughter is unwilling to have a heart-to-heart talk with her.
How could she not be angry? How can I not be annoyed?
“I…I…”
Xia Lanlan's voice was stuttering badly. She clearly wanted to find an excuse to cover it up, but her thoughts were in a mess and she couldn't organize a complete sentence.
Especially when she saw that her mother's eyes were getting colder and colder, as if she was disappointed in her, and her eyes were full of coldness and anger.
Suddenly, a panic came over me.
Xia Lanlan panicked and threw herself into Madam Xia's arms, crying and admitting her mistake, "Mom, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong, I shouldn't have lied to you!"
"Since you know it's wrong to lie to me, then just tell me honestly, where is the 20,000 yuan?" Mrs. Xia was obviously not easy to deceive. She stared at her daughter closely, as if she wanted to see the truth through Xia Lanlan's eyes.
Then, she pulled Xia Lanlan up from her arms, put her hands on her shoulders and asked tightly, "Lanlan, I want to hear the truth!"
Instead of telling her another lie!
Hearing this, Xia Lanlan's body suddenly stiffened and her voice began to stutter again.
"Money...money was given by me..."
