Chapter 927: Do You Resent Me?
He Xiyan frowned as she stared at the two women by the doorway. She watched as they slowly approached her.
She stood up and pulled Xi Xi to her side.
Han Xue’s face was cold as she wheeled Xia Jingshu over. She didn’t even want to keep up pretenses any longer. She found this woman who had reappeared from nowhere absolutely detestable.
Xia Jingshu’s lips curved upward slightly as she smiled at He Xiyan.
“Xiyan...” she said.
He Xiyan met her gaze and forced herself to paste a smile on her face. She didn’t like either of her her mothers-in-law but at least Ye Hao’s mother had never once bullied her, unlike Mo Yixuan’s mother, and she had once been kind to her.
“Aunty Xia,” He Xiyan nodded as she greeted Xia Jingshu.
“I can’t believe that you’re still alive. This is truly great news,” Xia Jingshu suddenly said with a sincere smile. She meant what she said because in spite of the issues she had with her ex-daughter-in-law, she knew that her ex-daughter-in-law was a kind person.
He Xiyan smiled but did not respond since Xia Jingshu was merely an ex-relative who had no biological relation to her and now that her marriage to Ye Hao was over, Xia Jingshu was not related to her at all. She was only a familiar stranger.
“He Xiyan...” a cold voice rang out and shattered the cordial atmosphere.
Han Xue who had been staring at He Xiyan for a long time finally spoke.
He Xiyan turned to look at Han Xue and they locked eyes with each other. He Xiyan’s gaze was devoid of emotion while Han Xue’s gaze was extremely cold.
“He Xiyan, since you’re alive and well, why did you not come visit Xi Xi all this time?” Han Xue said coldly and there was a derisive tone in her voice.
Then, she looked at Xi Xi and scoffed coldly to herself when she saw that the happy smile had vanished from that brat’s face.
Xi Xi turned to look at her mother and she was equally puzzled as to why her mother had suddenly appeared today. Why didn’t she come to visit earlier?
He Xiyan pursed her lips into a cold smile.
She glanced at Han Xue and decided that Han Xue was not one to be trifled with. She didn’t feel like she owed Han Xue an explanation but she had owed her daughter an explanation.
She turned to look at Xi Xi and gently patted her daughter’s shoulders.
“Xi Xi...” she said as she bent down to look at her. “I accidentally fell into the sea three years ago and lost my memories after I hit my head against a rock. This was why I didn’t come to visit earlier. Xi Xi, do you resent me for this?”
He Xiyan looked at her daughter who bore a slight resemblance to her. She remembered that her daughter didn’t look anything like her when she was a baby but now that she was slightly grown, she was surprised to find that there was some resemblance. Her daughter’s mouth and nose looked uncannily like hers.
Xi Xi bit her lips and her amber-colored eyes widened as she looked at her mother. She rubbed her head and thought for a moment before she finally shook her head.
“I don’t resent you,” she said. She had once hated her mother for jumping into the ocean but now that her mother said that she had accidentally fallen in, she guessed that her mother did not truly mean to abandon her.
He Xiyan stretched out her hand to touch her daughter’s soft cheeks. She was glad to see that Xi Xi had grown up to be a sensible child and that both Yuan Yuan and Xi Xi were both so clever and adorable.
She rose to her feet and looked at Han Xue and Xia Jingshu.
