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 had 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 lied to her, she was so angry that she had no mind to play cards. She hurriedly left the teahouse 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?"
As she quickly walked downstairs, she smiled at Mrs. Xia who was sitting on the sofa, her face full of joy, completely unaware that her lie had already 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 parents?
This thought kept circling in Mrs. Xia's mind, making her feel panicked, as if something was out of control, making her feel vaguely uneasy.
Xia Lanlan also keenly caught the change in her mother's expression, and a sense 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 pissed off, but not because of playing cards. I heard something that made me 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 a clue from her daughter's expression.
Xia Lanlan felt her mother'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's mother, but deep down she couldn't help but feel nervous.
For some reason, her eyelids kept twitching today, as if something big was about to happen, making her feel very uneasy.
I've never felt this uneasy before.
However, after she cheated Xia's father and mother and got 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 the fact that her daughter lied to her for money, which made her angry and disappointed.
When Xia Lanlan suddenly heard Xia's mother ask this, her face froze and the smile on her face became a little unnatural, but she quickly recovered.
She smiled at Xia's mother, trying to hide her nervousness with a smile, "How, how could it be? What could I hide from you? Mom, you brought me up, don't you and Dad know my temper?"
"Yeah?"
Madam Xia looked straight at her, suppressed her anger and asked again, "Lanlan, are you sure you are not hiding anything from me and your father?"
This time, her tone was noticeably 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 panicked and quickly shook Mother Xia'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 of the words she 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.
Mrs. Xia's attitude became tough again when she thought of her daughter hiding something from her. She asked Xia Lanlan directly, "Lanlan, since you said you didn't hide anything from us."
"Well, let me ask you, what did you do with the 20,000 yuan you took from me a few days ago?"
"I......"
