บท 183: 179 courting death

Xia Yuzheng's dark brown pupils trembled at the words.

"Did she ask you, or does she already know?"

Xu He's expression was inscrutably deep, "She probably doesn't know yet... She's never mentioned it all these years, and just a couple of months after moving back to the old house... My sister would definitely not say it, she's even afraid that I would tell, so she certainly wouldn't tell her herself. Could it be that mom has said something to her?"

Xia Yuzheng said, "Mom probably doesn't know either. With her pride and vanity, if she knew who her real father was, she wouldn't have let us adopt her back then. Actually, I've always been quite puzzled, why was mom so adamant that the two of us had to adopt her back then?"

Xu He shook her head, laughed softly with her hand covering her lips, as if recalling something.

Xia Yuzheng was curious, "Xiaohe, what are you laughing at all of a sudden?"

Xu He glanced at him, "I just never thought you'd speak of mom like this one day."
