Chapter 1558: Chapter 1575: The Final Farewell 2
"Really?" He got up and walked to her.
"Xiaonuan, what exactly happened today?" He held her shoulder with one hand, patiently asking.
He could ignore which man she was with, as long as she returned safely. But, he hoped she would tell him the truth.
"What happened?" She gazed at him, playing dumb. The heavy smell of smoke on him even covered his own scent, she turned her head away, her gaze landing on the classical European-style coffee table, the ashtray filled with cigarette butts, and she couldn’t help but frown slightly.
"You know what I’m talking about, the incident at the hospital entrance." He stared intensely at her evasive face, his tone intensified.
He always knew his mother’s character, everyone usually pampered her, so she generally couldn’t bear any grievances.
But for her to lose her temper in public without caring about her image was a first.
If she wasn’t truly provoked to the point of meltdown by Xia Xiaonuan, she wouldn’t act like this.
Besides, in the picture, it indeed shows Xia Xiaonuan pushing Mrs. Nangong.
Nangong Yaoling wouldn’t favor either side because both are people he loves. He just wants to know what the truth is.
Xiaonuan looked at his profound gaze.
She forced a light smile, "You already know, so why ask me? I think someone already reported to you!"
"Xiaonuan." Nangong Yaoling was somewhat angry, "So, did you really push her?"
Xia Xiaonuan’s lips curled into a cold grin.
"So what if I did? Haven’t you already suspected me? Nangong Yaoling, if you had to choose between yourself and your mother, who would you choose?"
"Xia—Xiao—Nuan!" Nangong Yaoling roared through clenched teeth, his eyes ablaze with anger.
His expression seemed like he wished he could strangle her.
Xia Xiaonuan looked into his eyes, trying to suppress the turmoil inside her, maintaining a fa?ade of indifference.
"Nangong Yaoling, I know you love your mother dearly, but sometimes things may not be as they appear on the surface. One day you may discover that some people’s kindness and mercy are just superficial disguises, even the family you love might turn out to be someone you could never imagine being guilty of such deeds."
Xia Xiaonuan spoke plainly, yet Nangong Yaoling’s face turned pale from her words, and he suddenly laughed.
"Xiaonuan, are you saying my mom is a sinner, a villain? Just because she forced you to leave me, you say this about her?" His face looked terrible, though he was genuinely enraged.
Yet he also tried his best to suppress his anger. In his dark eyes, Xiaonuan saw a surge of dark tides.
She suddenly felt a bit regretful; she didn’t know why she said such things. Perhaps she just didn’t want Nangong Yaoling to be caught off guard or unable to accept it when he discovers the truth.
Perhaps, this was also her heartfelt voice.
But she almost forgot, after all, Mrs. Nangong raised Nangong Yaoling single-handedly.
Perhaps what a man cannot accept the most is his woman speaking ill of his mother.
Xiaonuan said nothing, avoiding his fiery gaze, turning her face away.
"Xiaonuan, let me ask you, since you don’t like her, since you hate her. Then why, when I took you on the boat to leave, and told you I could take you away, anywhere. Why did you have to answer me in such a cruel way?"
