2817 Heartache
Madam Xiao’s heart sank when she heard this. Her heart, which was so cold that there was no warmth at all, seemed to be pricked by thousands of steel needles.

He wanted to let her understand that no matter how much she tried to salvage the situation, she wouldn’t be able to hear him call her ‘Mom’.
She had already reached the door. She held the door frame with one hand and turned around, her tears continually flowing. Her weathered eyes looked at Xia Jinyuan deeply again. Seeing the calmness and coldness on his face, she closed her eyes.

‘I’m sorry… I’m sorry, I’m sorry… My child…’

She never thought that he would see such a dirty and ugly side of her. She never thought that the absurdity of her youth would end up with her being alone.

Why did she come to the old residence? Why?!

If she didn’t come, she could at least continue to deceive herself and stay in the capital city. She might even be able to see her son from afar occasionally.

Now, the last fig leaf was gone. In her son’s eyes, she was so ugly and dirty. How could she still have the face to see him?

But she just had to come!

Madam Xiao’s heart ached. She suddenly remembered why she came to the old residence. She had almost forgotten about the serious matter.

Xia Jinyuan had already walked to the door. She, who was about to open the door and leave, slowly turned around. He couldn’t help but frown. Did she have anything else to say?

“Ah Yuan, tell your father that… Li Chuhai is back. You might not know him, but your father and Old Master know him. Ah Yuan, tell your father and Old Master. They should know.”

After Madam Xiao finished speaking, she opened the door and walked out of the living room.

Xia Jinyuan narrowed his eyes and pursed his lips lightly. She specially came over to tell him an unfamiliar name.

Li Chuhai?

Her surname was Li too?

Recently, he seemed to have gotten to know too many people with the surname Li.

His cousin-in-law’s surname was also Li.

Suddenly, Madam Li’s surprised voice came from outside. “Shuman, Shuman!”

Madam Xiao, who walked out, only said, “Chenglan, let’s go.” Under Madam Li’s gaze, her knees buckled and she fell weakly…

If it wasn’t for the servant who was about to send them off, she would have fallen to the ground.

Madam Li couldn’t keep calm anymore.

She hurriedly went over to hold Madam Xiao, who was weak all over. She shouted at the servant, “Hurry up and help her to the chair! Is this how the Xia family treats guests? You frightened the guest who came to visit until her legs went weak!”

Her voice was very loud. If it was a commercial residence, everyone would hear her voice.

Fortunately, the Xia family’s old residence had thick walls, and there were no neighbors around. Even the scenic spots in Beihai were not near the Xia family, making the old residence the quietest residence in the city.

Madam Li wanted to make a fuss until everyone knew about it, but only the servants of the Xia family and Xia Jinyuan could hear her.

“I’m fine, Chenglan. I’m fine.” Madam Xiao, who couldn’t exert any strength in her body, spoke softly as if she would stop breathing at any moment. In addition, her expression wasn’t good. It was hard to believe that she was fine.

“You’re already in this state and you’re still saying that you’re fine! If I had accompanied you just now to embolden you, you wouldn’t have been so frightened! Sit down and don’t move! I want to ask Ah Yuan just what he’s doing!”
