Xia Ning stopped her steps all of a sudden and turned around to see a man in a suit at the staircase. He was leaning against the banisters, staring at her.
She curled her lips a little. “My relations.h.i.+p with the Shen family is my business. I have no obligation to tell you.”
Qiao Yu looked at Xia Ning. “I heard Shen Weiran was in a car accident. Why are you here?”
Xia Ning shrugged. “Of course, to visit her. She is my idol after all.”
“But you are leaving before she wakes up.” Qiao Yu stared at her. “Didn’t you say she was your idol?”
Xia Ning curled her lips. “She’s not conscious yet, but I can’t wait for her here forever.”
“Your mother is the younger daughter of the Shen family! So Shen Weiran is your aunt! But the Shen family never acknowledged your mother in front of others.” Qiao Yu looked at Xia Ning. “Can you tell me why?”
Xia Ning looked at Qiao Yu with cold eyes and said with a ghostly smile. “Who are you to me? Why should I tell you? Mind your own business!” After she said that, she walked down towards the bottom of the stairs directly.
“16 years ago, Actress Shen Chuxia got into a car accident and died because of blood loss! She left a daughter behind, but that daughter did not go back to the Shen family and went into an orphanage.”
Qiao Yu’s words sounded from behind. “About a month after Shen Chuxia pa.s.sed away, that orphan daughter went missing! Even those reporters who were ready to use her to get the attention of the public could not find her through any means.”
Xia Ning walked to the landing of the staircase and turned around to look at Qiao Yu. “What do you want to ask? Why was I in England? Why am I still living?”
“Xia Ning, I want to know your stories with Shen Weiran.” Qiao Yu walked down. He stared at the girl who had her guard up and said in a low voice, “Was your mother’s accident related to Shen Weiran?”
“Heh…” Xia Ning smirked. “Since when did you start to be interested in other people’s business, President Qiao? I remember your own aunt is Shen Donglai’s wife. You are related to the Shen family. Are you afraid I might do something bad to the Shen family? If I am to turn against them, are you going to take action on me?”
Qiao Yu frowned a little and walked to Xia Ning. He stared at her with cold and sulky eyes. “I know which relative is closer to me.”
Xia Ning’s pupils contracted. She met Qiao Yu’s deep black eyes and all she could smell was his scent. She held her fists tight and turned her face to the side. “Of course, that’s your aunt’s family. You are much closer. I’m just a stranger,” she said ironically.
“Do you really have to twist my words?” Qiao Yu frowned.
Xia Ning moved the corner of her lips a little. She looked at Qiao Yu. “Qiao Yu, you don’t know anything and want to stand with me so arbitrarily. One day, you’ll find out that the person you know before was just an illusion. Then, you will be disappointed.”
Qiao Yu looked at her with deep eyes. “What if I won’t?”
“There are no what-ifs for many things!” Xia Ning said calmly. She darted a look at him and her gaze fell onto the plastic bags in his hand. She changed the topic. “If you are sick, go home early and rest.” As she spoke, she turned around and wanted to leave.
Suddenly, she felt something on her arm. A forceful hand grabbed her wrist and his deep voice sounded. “I’m not sick. Enoch is sick.”
