Chapter 573: A murderer’s child (1)
"What do you mean by that?" Lanni’s heart raced. Ji Meiling must be making up things to scare her, right?
Alas, the woman’s expression was too realistic. She looked baffled by herself for letting out what she had just said and ended the call in a flash.
Lanni was left shocked and confused. Why would Xiehan kill her child? Was it something that happened accidentally?
She knew Xiehan well enough to be certain that he would never do such a thing on purpose but the point was, wasn’t Xiaoshi the only child of Ji Meiling? Since when did she have a child that Xiehan apparently killed?
It was dramatic to imagine that someone probably messed with Xiehan and he ended their life, and they later turned out to be Ji Meiling’s estranged child. It was no use speculating wildly on her own, so she decided to go upstairs and ask him.
The door of the study suddenly felt like it was made of thorns. She could ask him alright, but what would she do with the answer he gave her? If he really did kill Ji Meiling’s child, what would happen?
She took deep breaths and considered the possibility. Maybe Ji Meiling was making up some random crap to force them into an argument.
She softly knocked on the door and pushed it open slowly. Xiehan was behind his desk, fiddling with an almost empty wine glass and looking lost in thought. She walked over to him and pried the glass out of his hand. "Are you okay, honey?"
"Yeah." He looked up at her. "Did she tell you anything?"
She sat on his lap after placing the wineglass on the desk. "You look like you think there’s something specific she should tell me."
He supported her back with his arm. "From your reaction, she did. Some secrets are meant to be kept forever, while some are merely waiting for a moment to erupt."
