Chapter 86: Awkward conversation
Cheng Yu continued, "She helped me get back to my feet. If she weren’t there for me, I would’ve gone mad at the very least.
Since then, I started to trust Xia Luna, and to thank her, I made a painting as a gift for her. That was how we became friends."
When Cheng Yu was done, Li Lanni snickered. "She made it sound so mysterious."
She then realized the main point. "I’m nowhere in that story."
Cheng Yu remembered something and looked awkward. "Well, when we became friends, I helped her set up a meeting with you. But when you first saw her and learned who she was, you hated her. You were so jealous of her that you almost hated me along with her."
"Jealous?" Li Lanni’s eyes went wide. Jealousy?
"Yes. Because she had always been with your dad while as for you... Since childhood, you spent so much effort trying to meet him at least once, but you couldn’t. Then as you grew, you started to believe that he was dead.
Li Lanni remained silent. If she had believed that her father was dead, both she and Cheng Yu knew who was the reason for that. But why would her mother make her misunderstand?
Her mother really seemed to hate the Xia family. From what she had said about them the previous night, Li Lanni had almost believed that Xia Luna was an example of an evil sister.
She would never have guessed that the evil twin was her.
Now, she really wanted to smash a brick against her head. Why was she so mean back then? How could she throw her temper around?
