章 3156: Innocence 71

"Dongyu, let her be!"

My mother said unhappily, "She has a home and doesn't come back. Who knows where she's gone fooling around! She's only in her teens and she's already so worrisome. She probably thinks she's grown up! The exams are just round the corner, we'll see how she manages it! If she can't get into senior high school, she's on her own!"

I paled furhter when I heard that.

Dongyu retorted unhappily, "Mom, stop it. Xiachun is old enough to have her own opinions."

My mother said nothing more.

Dongyu pulled me by my arm into the study and shut the door behind us. He lowered his head and studied my face carefully before asking in a muted voice, "Where have you been these past few days?"

"I… I was at Han Xiao's house."

"You're lying."

Dongyu instantly saw through my lie. "You may be able to pull a fast one on others, but you can't fool me. Look me in the eyes and tell me!"
