Chapter 59 - Bai Xiaoyun had nothing to say
An Yaoluo’s face was etched with pain.
He had always held Bai Xiaoyun in high esteem, thinking that when she came to this family, she truly sought nothing for herself.
Just a moment ago, when Dad said she’d poked Old Xiao’s leg with a broomstick, causing him to almost roll down the stairs with Dad on his back, he had wondered, Could Dad have been mistaken?
Upon confirming that they had taken Mom’s jewelry and gold nuggets, he thought that as long as the items weren’t lost and could be retrieved, there was no need to pursue their responsibility, so as to avoid rendering them homeless and tarnishing their reputations as thieves.
Now, he just felt like an enormous fool!
He had been used and betrayed, yet he had been foolishly considering their welfare!
A project worth several billion, he and his subordinates had labored sleeplessly for months, and this woman betrayed him over a kickback of one hundred million.
He thought of the question An Yan had specifically asked when he was sending her to school:
"Are you sure it’s *you* who insists on taking me?"
She had emphasized the word "you."
Because at that time, she had already seen that Bai Xiaoyun was deliberately preventing him from going to the bidding site.
And he, several years her senior, hadn’t noticed a thing!
