Compared to Xia Wan, Xia Xue's days were not so comfortable.
Xia Xue was a crafty and unreasonable young miss, she did not know how to endure hardships. But in order to live, she had to find a job.
But since she always treated people with a lofty attitude when applying for a job, she was still a jobless person.
If Fang Lan had not gone to the Grandma Xia to beg for money, they would probably still be wandering around the streets.
In the shabby rented house, Xia Xue was always meditating on the floor, which couldn't help but pique Fang Lan's curiosity.
Thinking that the other party was making plans for the future, she beamed with joy and asked: "Little Snow, what are you thinking about?"
"I was thinking about how to make an appointment with Xia Wan and I can't let the people around her know, what kind of excuse would I use when I'm troubled?" When he said that, Xia Xue's eyes flashed a trace of ruthlessness, obviously wanting to harm Xia Wan.
But even though she racked her brains, she was still at a loss. When she found out that Xia Wan was acting like a princess in a jar of honey, not only did she get spoiled by Tang Shaofeng, but even Tang Zhenhua, Grandma Xia and the others treated her with care, she felt that this matter was extremely difficult to deal with.
Ever since she and Ye Fu had reached an agreement at the bar and decided to go all out, she hadn't dared to contact her for many days.
Back then, she had promised that she would have a way to trick Xia Wan, but now, there was nothing she could do.
Knowing that Xia Xue was planning to take revenge on Xia Wan, not only did Fang Lan not feel shocked, she even felt gratified by the fact that she did not stop her. They even thought that Xia Xue was courageous, but was ruthless when it was time to do so.
"What do I think it is? So it's this! Just tell me earlier!" Mom supports you! For us to be in such a mess, isn't that exactly the responsibility of Xia Wan and Xia Wan?! "
Gritting his teeth, Fang Lan didn't think about her own mistakes at all. Instead, she just pushed all responsibility to others.
"That's right! Since I'm already in such dire straits, what is there to be afraid of! If they want to make things difficult for me, then don't blame me for dragging them into the water! " The sinister smile on Xia Xue's face looked like a broken tin can that was terrifying and terrifying.
Just like Xia Xue, Fang Lan didn't care much anymore. Since they couldn't return to their glorious days in the past, then at the very least, they had to make the ones they hated want to die like them.
She thought of an idea, "The matter that Xia Wan is most concerned about is the cause of death of her short-lived mother. If she could grasp on this point, it would be easy for her to be invited to come out!"
With his arms crossed, Fang Lan smiled confidently.
Seeing that, Xia Xue frowned: "Then what happened back then?"
She had no idea what the past entanglements were and how to make use of them.
"Why are you asking so much?" Unhappily glancing at Xia Xue, Fang Lan seemed to reject telling Xia Xue the truth.
The Xia Xue who was confused couldn't help but retort with a shameful and angry expression, "Didn't you ask me to use this reason to trick Xia Wan to come out? "Now you're not going to tell me what's going on. Mom, have you gone through too much trouble?"
Hearing that Xia Xue's tone was not good, Fang Lan did not make a fuss about it.
Sighing helplessly, she nodded at Xia Xue's head and said: "Did I say you could use this excuse to trick her out of it, then I told you to go and tell her the truth? "Kid, you usually look smart, but why are you so muddle-headed at critical moments?"
Xia Xue's eyebrows slowly relaxed as she finally understood what Fang Lan meant.
She looked at Fang Lan and gave an embarrassed smile. With her dark eyes, she silently thought to herself: That's right! I only need to trick Xia Wan out of it.
Seeing that Xia Xue had finally awakened, Fang Lan snappily snorted, "As long as you understand."
Then the two of them whispered to each other for a while, as if they were afraid that the plan might be leaked.
In the process, the two of them had cautious and solemn expressions, as though dealing with Xia Wan was an urgent matter …
On Sunday morning, Xiao Hui excitedly went downstairs to find Xia Wan, "Xiao Wan, do you want to go shopping?"
However, this time, her situation was special, and she was really unable to accompany Xiao Hui in battle. "Mom, it's my turn now, so I'm not feeling very well, can you go by yourself?"
Frowning, Xiao Hui stepped forward with a face full of concern. Or should I stay home and take care of you? Your grandmother went to play cards, your dad and Shaofeng were busy, and I was worried about leaving you alone at home. "
Not wanting to spoil Xiao Hui's mood, not to mention that she wasn't feeling too uncomfortable, Xia Wan laughed and said, "Mom, it's not as serious as you think. I'm just too lazy to move, so I don't need you to stay behind to accompany me. Hurry up and go shopping, and dress up so beautifully that my dad's eyes lit up! "Heh heh."
"Pfft, this child, you've been led astray by Shaofeng and now you dare to make fun of me!" Xiao Hui pretended to be angry, but her eyes were filled with gentleness.
"Do you really not need me to boil a brown sugar water for you?"
Xia Wan pursed her lips and smiled, then shook her head, "Mom, don't worry, I'm not a child anymore, I will take good care of myself!"
Seeing that Xia Wan was alright, Xiao Hui confirmed repeatedly that she was fine. Only when Xia Wan pushed her out of the house did she finally leave, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Unexpectedly, not long after Xiao Hui left, the phone at home rang.
Thinking that it was Tang Shaofeng, Xia Wan quickly picked up, "Hubby?"
"Yo, my dear older sister, you're living quite well these days …"
just realised that the other party was not Tang Shaofeng, but Xia Xue.
"Well, I think I'm having a good time, too, and it would be even better if you didn't make the call." He didn't hide his disgust towards Xia Xue at all as Xia Wan also secretly ridiculed his opponent's bad luck.
After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone without even thinking. She was too lazy to argue with someone like Xia Xue.
It was probably because he never thought that Xia Wan's movements would be so quick, that Xia Xue came attacking again, the moment he opened his mouth, he immediately went into the main topic, and no longer beat around the bush, "It's still me! Don't hang up! Let me tell you something! Do you want to know how your mother died? "
Xia Wan was startled, and her emotions fluctuated.
She had a deep understanding of Xia Xue's personality, so she rationally warned herself that this was probably just a scam, but her fingers seemed to be glued to the phone, unable to get rid of her no matter what.
After considering for a long time, she finally spoke with a solemn gaze. "What kind of trick are you playing now?"
With a strange smile, Xia Xue indifferently replied after hearing what Xia Wan had done, "Aren't you being a little too cautious? "I know your mother's death has something to do with my mother, so I'll put it simply: I'm short on money now, and I just happen to know the inside story, so you know …"
Hearing that, Xia Wan did not reply for a long time.
One said: A person like Xia Xue would be willing to do any kind of trade for money, how could he sell his mother out?
The other one said: Don't be naive, Xia Wan. If Xia Xue knew about this earlier, why did she have to wait until now to contact her.
In the end, Xia Wan helplessly lowered her eyes, and her lips slightly parted with a defeated expression: "How much do you want?"
"Five hundred thousand in cash!" Xia Xue answered unusually quickly, with a trace of happiness mixed in her tone, as though she was afraid that Xia Wan would refuse.
However, how could she know that Xia Wan cared so much about her mother's death?
Maybe cold-blooded animals like Xia Xue would never be like Xia Wan, who would have the zeal of a pure child when it came to family and love, making it impossible for her to understand Xia Wan's persistence.
Lu Shuang was the only person in the world other than the Grandma Xia that loved her. Even though she passed away early, her death was extremely strange, so it had become a sore point that Xia Wan had buried for a long time.
Now that the opportunity had arrived, even if there was something fishy, even if he was extorted, Xia Wan still wanted to find out.
"Cash? How can I give it to you? Could it be that you want to take it yourself? I don't want Grandmother to see you again, so that she won't be mad again! "
"Of course it's your delivery! Do you think I want to see that old fart? "
Twisting his brows, when she heard how Xia Xue was unfilial and unfilial, Xia Wan could not help but scold: "Xia Xue, clean my mouth! "Otherwise, I wouldn't have such a good temper like Grandmother!"
With a disdainful tsk, after Xia Xue figured out the reason behind Lu Shuang's death, she took the initiative and became arrogant, "What? I can't complain? It's not like I'm talking about you, what are you getting so excited about? If you don't want to, then just don't make this deal! "
Xia Wan, who was filled with hatred, unconsciously clenched his fists tightly, and even his fingertips turned slightly white.
As long as she was a little more open-minded and did not have to worry about the past anymore, she would not be angry at Xia Xue, but she could not.
"How do I send you off? "Where and when?"
"That's more like it! Tomorrow at 2 PM on the shore of the Red Sea. "
Breathing out a heavy breath, Xia Wan didn't want to say another word to Xia Xue;
"Is there anything else? I'll be hanging up if there's none! " Xia Wan whose tone was filled with impatience had the same arrogant attitude as Xia Xue.
To deal with someone like Xia Xue, she really could not be at ease.
"Ai!" Wait! When the time comes, you come by yourself. Otherwise, if Tang Shaofeng finds out that I don't care about your money, maybe he will think of some way to get it back! "Also, Grandmother, you better not let her know. Otherwise, she'll be angry at me for being unfilial and won't be able to die!"
If it were not for the fact that he wanted to do business with Xia Xue, Xia Wan really wished that she could yell at her head to head. She wanted to scold Xia Xue until she did not dare to be rude again.
As if guessing that Xia Wan was going to go berserk, without waiting for her response, Xia Xue laughed sinisterly and comforted her: "Alright, that's all, but you have to remember one thing: it's not too late!"
