The air in the study seemed to solidify in an instant.

Even Xia Yangyang seemed to be taken aback.

Liu Ruyan brought her head up, her hand covering her cheek, looking at Xia Liangdong incredulously.

All these years, Xia Liangdong had pampered her.

No matter how outrageous her actions were, even if she was on the verge of bankrupting Starlight, he never criticized her.

But all these years, the one thing they couldn’t talk about was Tan Zhen, Xia Yangyang’s biological mother.

Xia Liangdong seemed struck too.

He was always mild-mannered, despite being a major player in the entertainment circle, carrying a kind of refined air. Even in middle age, he was polite and cultured.

He must have really lost his temper just now to have raised his hand.

Xia Liangdong grabbed Liu Ruyan’s arm: “I’m sorry, Ruyan, I didn’t mean…”

Liu Ruyan tore Xia Liangdong’s hand away suddenly: “You’re doing it all for that woman again. Xia Liangdong, have you no conscience? She’s been dead for ten years. Ten years! But you still can’t forget her. As soon as she’s mentioned, you become a totally different person. If she’s your first wife, then what am I? I’ve devoted ten unnoticed years to you and your daughter. Does my dedication count for less than a dead person? Xia Liangdong, this matter is not over between us!”

With that, Liu Ruyan turned and left.

Xia Liangdong wanted to follow her, but after a couple of steps, he returned.

He sank into the couch, lighting a cigarette.

Xia Yangyang couldn’t come back to her senses for a moment.

It took quite some time before Xia Yangyang asked with a trembling voice, “What she said… it’s not true, right?”

Xia Yangyang hoped Xia Liangdong would deny it.

She absolutely refused to believe her mother committed suicide over scandalous deeds.

However, Xia Liangdong just sighed: “It’s all true. Your mother just got confused back then, and I couldn’t believe it myself at the time. But that’s what the police investigation found. In the end, it was deemed that your mother committed suicide out of guilt. It caused quite an uproar at the time. I’ve kept copies of the police reports and your mother’s statement in a safety deposit box. If you don’t believe me, I can let you see them.”

Xia Yangyang still couldn’t accept it.

How could this be? It just couldn’t be.

Xia Liangdong took a drag from his cigarette, then spoke gravely: “All along, I didn’t want to tarnish your mother’s image in your heart. But no matter what, it’s all in the past. She was your mother. You were the person she loved most.”

Xia Yangyang took steps back, “I won’t believe it. You are lying. You are all lying to me.”

With that, Xia Yangyang ran out.

When she reached the stairs, she ran into Xia Weiwei who had just returned.

Xia Weiwei deliberately bumped into her: “Xia Yangyang, don’t you watch where you’re going?”

Xia Yangyang’s eyes were red, but she didn’t even glance at Xia Weiwei. She just ran off.

Xia Weiwei was puzzled.

What could have caused Xia Yangyang to lose control and run off with red eyes?

She was always aloof and never easily shed tears.

Xia Weiwei felt a touch of schadenfreude, becoming even more curious about what happened to Xia Yangyang.

Did something go wrong between her and Qi Chen?

After running out of the villa, Xia Yangyang found herself aimlessly wandering the streets.

The weather was overcast and a drizzle was falling.

But Xia Yangyang seemed oblivious to it.

Xia Yangyang’s mood gradually calmed down but she felt lost.

She didn’t believe a single word Liu Ruyan had said.

Her mother was the kindest person in the world and would never do such a thing.

There must be something hidden behind all this.

Xia Yangyang resolved to investigate the matter thoroughly..
