I Really Don't Know
I Really Don't Know
Ming Ansheng used to say that she acted all high and mighty, but the truth was, she just chose to adopt a light-hearted perspective towards his comments and didn't allow them to affect her.
Even now, as she stood before Bright Vision's patriarch, her attitude was still cool and collected, showing no traces of humility or arrogance.
"Come over here and take a seat." Ming Zhongsheng beckoned Xuxu over, pointing to the seat beside him.
His voice carried a hint of exhaustion.
Xuxu could sense his extreme weariness as he spoke.
She sized him up as she walked towards him. There hadn't been any dramatic news about the Ming family lately.
So, what's going on with this old man? Being all grand and mysterious with this sudden visit.
"Chairman Ming, may I know the purpose of your visit?" Xuxu asked Ming Zhongsheng bluntly. She was worried about her grandfather who was alone at the shop yet curious at the same time and didn't want to be kept on tenterhooks.
She gave him a gracious smile, and her tone was gentle and courteous.
Ming Zhongsheng frowned and looked displeased. "Stupid lass. Given your intelligence, can't you guess the purpose of my visit today?
There was a sudden change in Ming Zhongsheng's temper, yet Xuxu still looked calm. She shook her head and spoke with tranquility in her voice, "I really don't know. If I had known, I wouldn't have asked."
"I came to look for you because of Wen Xinyi." At the mention of his granddaughter, Ming Zhongsheng's voice softened and sounded a little subdued.
When he looked at Xuxu, there were no more traces of the icy arrogance and contempt in his eyes. "I know that Xinyi went overboard this time and she doesn't deserve to be pardoned. But given the fact that she's still so young, I beg that you and Third Yan will choose to be magnanimous and let her off."
Upon hearing this, Xuxu was even more bewildered. "Chairman Ming, I don't understand what you're talking about. What happened to Wen Xinyi?"
"You…" Ming Zhongsheng paused in astonishment. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Xuxu with some doubt. "Don't you know?"
How is this possible? This is such a serious matter, so how could she not know?
Hmph. Ansheng was right. This stupid lass is full of pretense.
He humbled himself to go and look for her, yet she was taking advantage of the situation to feign ignorance. She was making a fool out of him!
"I really don't know what you're talking about." Xuxu sounded sincere and looked serious. "Please go straight to the point. I'm worried about my grandfather, he's injured and alone at home right now."
Ming Zhongsheng narrowed his turbid-looking eyes and stared suspiciously at Xuxu.
She didn't seem to be lying.
"You really don't know?" Without waiting for Xuxu to respond, he continued, "Xinyi feigned the car accident and knocked down Third Yan's grandmother by mistake. How can you not know about this?"
He still couldn't believe it.
Boom!
Wild thoughts blasted through Xuxu's mind, and the look on her face changed. Stunned, she stared blankly at Ming Zhongsheng's wrinkled face.
There was a lump in her throat, and she couldn't seem to find her voice.
Ming Zhongsheng was alarmed by Xuxu's reaction.
She didn't know! This stupid lass really had no idea what happened! How is this possible?
