Chapter 850: Chapter 847: Was it Really a Mistake Back Then?

Actually, she wanted to tell her that her days had never been peaceful; she had always been tossed about.

"You came to find my aunt, didn’t you? How did it go? Did you get snubbed?" Xia Shi couldn’t stand Ye Ranran’s indifferent attitude.

She didn’t understand how she could remain so calm at such a time.

"Just as you wished, we got snubbed. Are you happy now?" Ye Ranran’s brows and eyes lost their warmth.

Xia Shi laughed heartily, "Of course, seeing you get snubbed makes me so happy, Ye Ranran. All you’re trying to do is to curry favor with Huo Mother, to secure a foothold in the Huo Family. Am I right or not?"

The smug Xia Shi didn’t listen carefully to Ye Ranran’s words and naturally didn’t notice that she used ’we’ instead of ’I’.

"You’re right, I am doing this just to please people. What about you? Xia Shi, at least you call her ’Mom.’ What do you plan to do?"

Xia Shi’s smile disappeared and her expression struggled for a moment. Quickly, as if having made up her mind, she said, "Naturally, I hope my aunt marries into the Huo Family. By then, I’ll be your aunt. As for Huo Mother, even if I call her ’Mom’ ten times, she won’t become my real mother, will she?"

The importance of each should be clear after a slight weighing, and anyone slightly smart would know how to choose.

"What a pity, my mom has been so protective of you, and this is how you repay her?"

"Protect me?" Xia Shi had a somewhat ferocious look, "When our Xia Family ran into trouble, I went to beg her. Do you know what she said to me?"

Powerless to help!

That’s exactly what she said at that time.

"If you don’t want to help, just say so, don’t pretend to be ’powerless to help.’ Who are you trying to fool?" Xia Shi unleashed all her pent-up resentment.

"The heart is separated by a layer of skin, Mom, can you see this?" Ye Ranran slightly turned to the side, revealing Huo Mother behind her to Xia Shi.

Xia Shi’s face was full of panic and fear, "Huo Mother, I... you..."

"What about me? What about you? Xia Shi, I never knew you hated me so much." Huo Mother’s eyes were filled with disappointment and pain.

"I didn’t, Huo Mother, it’s all because she made me say that," Xia Shi pointed at Ye Ranran.

Ye Ranran slightly furrowed her brows, sitting quietly to one side, saying nothing.

"Enough, even now, are you still trying to deceive me? Xia Shi, I don’t even know which of your words back then were true and which were false anymore," Huo Mother said, holding her forehead, her face losing color.

She had protected someone who, it turned out, wished her downfall, while she had loathed someone who was trying hard to protect her.

Could it be that she was really wrong from the start?

"Huo Mother, you heard it just now. She deliberately provoked me to say those things. If it weren’t for her..."

"I actually think she asked a good question. If things weren’t like that, how would I know you truly hated me so much?"

"Xia Shi, when you came to me asking to save the Xia Family, it wasn’t that I didn’t want to help but that I really was powerless. The scandals involving you and your siblings were known to all, under the scrutinizing public eye, with tongues widespread, how could I silence them?"

The Huo Family’s power was enormous; even if they could cover the sky with one hand, was it worth taking such a big risk for her sake?

"If it wasn’t for the sentiment of old days, I could have completely kicked you while you were down. Did you really think it would be as simple as just your father and brother losing their positions?"

Had it not been for the past relationship between the Xia Family and the Huo Family, would those people have shown any mercy?

"That time, I didn’t avoid you. Xia Shi, have you ever thought about why?"
