Xia Yanxi felt heavy and complicated, and followed the housekeeper upstairs with a hint of anxiety.
The housekeeper knocked on the study door, and a majestic female voice came from inside, "Come in."
The housekeeper opened the door and said respectfully, "Madam, Miss Xia is here."
The woman said a cold 'hmm'.
After Xia Yanxi entered the study, the housekeeper closed the door.
The study room was mainly decorated in black and white, luxurious but cold. Xia Yanxi looked at the woman sitting on the leather swivel chair, smoking, and walked over with heavy steps.
Zhou Liu looked at Xia Yanxi who came in. She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at her calmly. At the same time, Xia Yanxi was also looking at Zhou Liu. She must have had plastic surgery, and her appearance was very different from before. She looked more delicate now, but her aura was strong and cold, so despite her delicate appearance , but it also gives people a sharp and mean feeling.
The mother in my memory is not like this at all. She would not look at her with such cold eyes, like a stranger.
After the two looked at each other for a few seconds, Zhou Liu blew out smoke and said calmly to Xia Yanxi, "Sit down!"
Xia Yanxi pulled out the chair and sat across from Zhou Liu. Her hands on her knees could not stop trembling. Although she tried her best to suppress the sadness and discomfort in her heart, her eyes were still flushed, "I came here just because I want an explanation."
Zhou Liu's enchantingly manicured nails flicked the cigarette ashes, and the corners of her mouth bent down with a half-smile, "What explanation do you need? If you can come here, Qiao Yanli must have told you everything, right?"
Xia Yanxi's little hand on her knee suddenly tightened, "So, you did kill his mother and sister, and took away everything that originally belonged to her mother, right?"
Zhou Liu could not deny it.
Crystal tears instantly welled up in Xia Yanxi's eyes, and her lips trembled as she said, "In my impression, you are not that kind of person! Why did you do that? Did someone force you?"
Compared to Xia Yanxi's excitement, Zhou Liu's reaction was quite calm and indifferent. She took a puff of cigarette and blew out the smoke. Her eyes became deep and cold, "So, you came here to plead for Qiao Yanli." Is it fair? I have never regretted what happened back then."
Hearing her own admission, Xia Yanxi trembled all over, like a thunderbolt hitting her. It split her heart into pieces and caused severe pain.
Although she got confirmation from Huo Changsheng when she was in Li City, she still held on to a subtle hope. I hope my mother is not the bloodthirsty devil that others say. I hope everything in the past was just a misunderstanding. Or, I hope my mother has her own reasons for suffering.
But she never expected that all of this was true.
Mengyao, Huo Changsheng, and grandma didn't lie to her.
Yanli's dearest person was really killed by her.
Xia Yanxi's eyes showed deep pain and anger. She glared hatefully at the strange and outrageous woman in front of her, and tears of pain poured out in a steady stream.
"Why? Why are you so cruel?"
Zhou Liu put out the cigarette that was about to burn to her fingertips, and then lit another cigarette. Xia Yanxi noticed that there were many cigarette butts piled in the ashtray on the desk.
"Because I'm jealous of Cheng Qing." Zhou Liu narrowed his eyes, "How could I let Cheng Qing take away everything that should belong to me? My family, lover, and family background can only belong to me."
