Lou Xi composed her emotions before answering Shen Youran's call.
Actually, she had somewhat guessed that Shen Youran wanted her to reconcile with Lin Qianqian, to let the past be the past. Lou Xi intended to do just that, as long as no one brought it up again. Once Qin Mobai withdrew the lawsuit, the matter would be over.
However, now that Shen Youran was making this call, Lou Xi's heart sank.
"Mom, what's up?" Lou Xi returned to the villa, to the study on the second floor. It was quiet there, with only her.
"Xixi, um... do you have time now?" Shen Youran began, her tone carrying a hint of uncertainty and probing.
"I do. What do you need to say?"
"It's about... Lin Qianqian..." Shen Youran paused, "I didn't know before that I had another daughter, Qianqian, who returned to Nancheng by a twist of fate. She might have done something wrong to you, but Xixi, could you forgive her, for Mom's sake?"
