Chapter 856: Kneeling

Xiao Zhi looked rather haggard. It would be far-fetched to say that she was Aunt Lan’s twin sister. She looked much older than Auntie Lan.

She and Auntie Lan were both born beautiful. However, Xiao Zhi looked like a normal fifty-something-year-old woman now.

The former president and Miss Angel standing behind her had completely lost their former glory, and their faces were covered in dust.

It was really hard to predict the affairs of the world.

Jing Tian didn’t exchange pleasantries. He dragged me to the sofa and sat down, with Gao Da standing behind us.

Before Jing Tian could say anything, Xiao Zhi had already stepped forward to ingratiate herself with him. “Jing Tian, thank you for letting us in. Thank you for taking us in.”

Jing Tian said indifferently, “Lady An, you’ve misunderstood. I didn’t intend to take you in. It’s just that my subordinates said that you were an eyesore at the gate, so I let you in. Since you’re here, I’ll ask you what you’re here for.”

Xiao Zhi didn’t care about Jing Tian’s indifferent attitude, as if she hadn’t heard him. “Jing Tian, your mother and I are twins. How many lifetimes do you think we’re destined to be together?

“Your mother and I have been through a lot in our lives. It’s not easy. We’ve both done a lot of wrong things, but in this life, how can we not make mistakes? The most important thing is that we can correct our mistakes, don’t you think so?

“I came here to sincerely apologize to your mother. I really regret it. I really know that I was wrong. In this world, she is the only person who is related to me by blood. We must support each other so that we won’t be bullied by outsiders. Don’t you think so?”

Xiao Zhi was indeed good at avoiding the important points and playing the card of kinship.

Jing Tian glanced at her indifferently. “I don’t think so. My father and I won’t allow anyone to bully her. In this lifetime, she only needs to do what she likes according to her will. She doesn’t need to feel wronged.”

Xiao Zhi was at a loss for words. She hesitated for a moment. “Then, can you let us meet? In any case, let me apologize to her face to face.”

“What do you want to apologize for?” Jing Tian asked.

Xiao Zhi shrank back and mumbled, unable to say anything.

Jing Tian looked at her quietly and didn’t say anything.

Xiao Zhi stuttered and didn’t say anything for a long time.

The father and daughter of the An family behind her were a little anxious. Angel even stepped forward and tugged at the corner of her clothes.

Xiao Zhi pushed away Angel’s hand and puffed up her chest, pleading, “Jing Tian, let me see your mother. I have something I want to say to her face to face. I beg you.”

As she spoke, her knees gave way, and she knelt down.

Jing Tian raised his eyebrows and stared at Xiao Zhi.

Under Jing Tian’s gaze, Xiao Zhi braced herself and said, “I know that I’ve committed a grave sin, so I want to see her face to face and apologize. I beg you.”

Jing Tian looked at them and said slowly, “You’re not here to see whether my mother is dead or not, are you?”

The three of them were shocked.

Xiao Zhi asked in surprise, “W-what did you say?”

Jing Tian looked at her. “Don’t you want to know if my mom was bitten by a snake, poisoned, and died?”

Xiao Zhi was extremely shocked. “You said that Xiao Lan was bitten by a snake? Poisoned? When did this happen?”

Jing Tian didn’t say anything.

Xiao Zhi knelt down and took a step forward. “When did this happen? How did she get bitten by a snake?”

I looked at Xiao Zhi in confusion, then at Jing Tian. It didn’t seem like Xiao Zhi was lying.

Jing Tian looked at Xiao Zhi with a profound gaze.
