473. Chapter 473 The down-to-earth prince
Han Xiaoxi didn't expect Lin Minrou to say this. It was exactly what she had guessed, and her whole heart ached.
She didn't understand why such a kind and gentle aunt would do such a thing.
"Aunt Lin, can you tell me more about what happened in the past? Why did she do this? It is said that there is no love without reason, and there is no hatred without reason. There is always a reason for her to do this.
.”
Han Xiaoxi couldn't help but ask Lin Minrou. She didn't believe that her aunt would do such a thing to hurt her biological sister for no reason.
Lin Minrou's expression froze when Han Xiaoxi asked her, and she couldn't help but not knowing what to say.
After a while, he sighed and said: "I can't explain what happened back then in one sentence or two. Anyway, it was just because of feelings. You must also know that my background is not good. At the beginning, my father was just
I'm just a gardener in the Xie family. And for me to marry your father, it's really like flying up a branch and becoming a phoenix. I think she must be jealous of my good luck, so she did this! But what did she think?
, only she knows this best. By the way, where is she now? Do you have any news about her? "
"No more. She disappeared as early as ten years ago. I don't know where she went. I heard my mother said that she met a good man and seemed to have left her life with that man. As for
I don't know where exactly I went." Han Xiaoxi shook her head, she didn't know where her aunt was.
However, she still had some doubts about Aunt Lin's words.
According to her understanding of her aunt, she should not be that kind of narrow-minded person. Not to mention that she is jealous of her sister because she likes Xie Zhaoyuan. If nothing else, just talk about Xie Zhaoyuan.
, she wouldn’t even feel that charming.
But she didn't ask again. Today's events made her even more curious about the past.
I am curious about the grudge between my aunt and my biological mother, and whether she is the daughter of the Xie family.
Because of this matter, they originally wanted to sit in this hut, but they were not in the mood at the moment. So they went down the mountain early. After going down the mountain, Han Xiaoxi did not go home with Lin Minrou, but went to the hospital to visit Zhou Yunfan.
.
Yesterday, Zhou Yunfan had surgery, but he didn't let her stay there, so today she had to go over to see how his surgery was going.
After Han Xiaoxi passed by, he saw Zhou Yunfan leaning on the bed and reading something.
Hearing the movement at the door, he quickly put down the materials in his hand and said, "Xiaoxi, you're here."
"Well, you're looking at documents again. Recuperate well! Can't you put things in the company aside for a while?" Han Xiaoxi frowned when she saw a pile of documents placed beside his bed.
Zhou Yunfan said with a smile: "It's okay here anyway. It's just that my leg is injured and my mind is fine. If I keep lying here, I'm really afraid that I will become a cripple."
"Please stop talking nonsense, okay? You are not a useless person. By the way, look at what delicious food I brought you."
Han Xiaoxi was unhappy when he heard him say that she was a useless person, and she quickly pouted and said dissatisfiedly.
As he spoke, he suddenly thought of the things he had brought, and quickly took them out of the bag with a smile.
"It smells so good." Zhou Yunfan couldn't help but admired when he smelled the fragrance.
Han Xiaoxi laughed and said, "I heard from Luffy that you like grilled corn very much, so I went to buy it. I heard that the taste here is good. You can try it."
"It smells very fragrant," Zhou Yunfan said with a smile, taking the roasted corn and taking a bite. After tasting it, he smiled and said to Han Xiaoxi: "The taste is not bad, very delicious."
"It's fine if you think it tastes good, but Yunfan, I didn't expect you to be such a down-to-earth person. I always thought you were quite a prince, but I didn't expect that you would also like to eat this!"
Han Xiaoxi couldn't help laughing when she saw Zhou Yunfan happily eating corn, and said jokingly with a smile.
To be honest, when she asked Luffy what Zhou Yunfan liked to eat, she really didn't expect that Luffy would say grilled corn.
"What's so strange about this? I heard that there was an emperor who liked to eat stinky tofu. So, as long as you are a mortal, you will always have some preferences of mortals. And, do you know why I like to eat roasted corn? It's because I follow you
It does matter." Zhou Yunfan smiled and said.
"Does it have anything to do with me? What does it have to do with me?" Han Xiaoxi asked in surprise.
Zhou Yunfan said: "Don't you remember, when we were in that cave, there was nothing to eat. Later, you walked a long way and found a wild corn field. So you brought back a lot of corn, and then
I baked it for me to eat. But the roasting taste was really bad at that time, and many of them were blackened. However, it made me like eating this thing from then on."
Zhou Yunfan said, looking at Han Xiaoxi with deep eyes. His eyes were actually gentle and affectionate.
Han Xiaoxi couldn't help but blush when he looked at her like this, she quickly lowered her head and pursed her lips.
After a while, Han Xiaoxi raised her head and murmured to Zhou Yunfan: "Yunfan, I can't remember the past things. Are you very sad? I don't know what happened, so I forgot all those things.
.”
"I'm not sad. As long as I can find you, I'll be happy. By the way, I heard yesterday was the engagement party between Xie Mingxuan and Jiang Mengying. Did you go to it?"
Zhou Yunfan saw her sad expression and couldn't help but comfort her quickly. In order to make her forget about it, he quickly changed the topic and asked.
Han Xiaoxi shook her head and said: "I didn't go to participate. How could I go? Jiang Mengying will hate me to death. If she sees me going, don't eat me!"
As Han Xiaoxi spoke, she suddenly thought of the relationship between Jiang Mengying and Zhou Yunfan. She couldn't help but stick out her tongue and said playfully: "I almost forgot that Jiang Mengying is a relative of yours."
"It doesn't matter. She and I are not close to you after all. Her mother is just a distant cousin of my father's. I don't know whether she is related to her or not. I heard that she is an illegitimate daughter, so she does not necessarily belong to the family.
A serious child. Therefore, they are not very close relatives. They are just dealing with the name of a relative and have some interests in the business."
Seeing her playful look, Zhou Yunfan suddenly felt warm in his heart. He was afraid that she would be burdened, so he quickly couldn't help but explain to her that she didn't have to worry about his and Jiang Mengying's identities.
However, Han Xiaoxi had no other thoughts after hearing his words, but suddenly thought of her own life experience again.
"Yunfan, there is something I want to tell you. I have been feeling uneasy because of this matter for the past two days. I heard some things today and I feel even more suspicious. But I am not that deep-minded. Please help me.
Is it good to analyze it?"
When Han Xiaoxi thought about this troubled matter, she really didn't know who to discuss it with. Not even with Xiao Wang. That guy was the one who kept talking about things and told the truth. So, it seemed that we could discuss it seriously.
The only person who knows is Zhou Yunfan.
That's why I couldn't help but say to Zhou Yunfan.
When Zhou Yunfan saw how serious she said it, he couldn't help but become serious, and said quickly: "If you have anything you can't figure out, you can tell me. As long as I can help you, I will do my best to help you."
"Actually, this is just a guess of mine. I don't know if it is true yet. It was just yesterday! Aunt Lin, oh, she is my biological mother. She suddenly told me that Xie Longchen and I are not brothers and sisters. But when I
I asked her again later, but she refused to admit that she said it, and said that she just said the wrong thing in a hurry. However, the more she explained like that, the more suspicious I became. Tell me, is what she said true?
?”
Han Xiaoxi told Zhou Yunfan some of what happened yesterday, but of course she did not tell him about Xie Longchen celebrating her birthday.
After saying this, he looked at Zhou Yunfan with a questioning look on his face, waiting for his answer.
Zhou Yunfan couldn't help but frowned after hearing her doubts.
Seeing Han Xiaoxi's expectant look, he suddenly didn't know how to answer.
Because after listening to what Han Xiaoxi described, he also felt that what Lin Minrou said was a bit suspicious. He also felt that Xie Zhaoyuan's attitude towards Han Xiaoxi was also a bit suspicious, and Xie Longchen's attitude was really not like that of a big brother.
However, he didn't want to say these words to Han Xiaoxi.
Because saying this is tantamount to telling her that maybe she and Xie Longchen really have no blood relationship, and they are really not brother and sister.
Now Han Xiaoxi stays with him, in addition to her sympathy and debt to him because his legs may be disabled, most of the other reasons are because of her despair for Xie Longchen. The two of them are brothers and sisters, no matter how much they loved each other and how much they liked each other before,
Now I can only stay away and use another sense of responsibility to curb that unethical love.
If he really said that they might not be siblings, he didn't know what Han Xiaoxi would do after hearing this.
Will feelings finally overcome the sense of responsibility, abandon him regardless of everything, and then return to Xie Longchen's arms?
He wasn't sure, not even sure.
At this moment, he sadly discovered that in his relationship with Han Xiaoxi, except for the past that he thought she had forgotten, he didn't even have anything to prove her feelings for him.
There is only responsibility, he became disabled because he saved her, and she feels guilty and responsible for him.
"Yunfan, why don't you speak? What do you mean by what she said?"
Han Xiaoxi waited for a while, but didn't wait for Zhou Yunfan to answer her question. Instead, she saw that his face turned pale and ugly, so she couldn't help but frown and ask.
Zhou Yunfan was shocked by her voice and came back to his senses. Looking at her face full of doubts and expectations, he couldn't help but smiled awkwardly and said: "Xiao Xi, I think you may be overthinking. Maybe she is really just casual.
Tell me, don’t think too much, how could you not be a child of the Xie family? If it was really not the case, how could the Xie family recognize you back in such a big way?"
"I also know this truth, but I always feel awkward in my heart, and I always feel that it's not like that. Also, I went to visit the graves of my adoptive parents today, and I also discovered that my adoptive mother's sister is not actually my adoptive mother's biological sister. I know me now
My mother's biological sister. Aunt Lin also said that she took me away because she was jealous of her marrying into a rich family, so she stole me away to retaliate against her. But I don't think so, my aunt is not that kind of person."
Han Xiaoxi frowned and couldn't help but sigh after hearing Zhou Yunfan's words. Although she thought what he said was reasonable, she still found it difficult to accept it.
Zhou Yunfan said: "Okay, you may be just too tired to think so wildly. It's my fault. It must be very hard for me to have you come to see me every day in the hospital. Go back now! Well done.
If you take a break, you won’t be so distracted.”
As Zhou Yunfan spoke, he couldn't help but reached out and touched her head lovingly, telling her not to think so much.
Han Xiaoxi's brows were still frowning, thinking that it wasn't because she was tired. She had a good rest yesterday, but since Zhou Yunfan said so, she couldn't continue talking.
Seeing that he insisted that she go back to rest, she had no choice but to listen to his words and nod. Then she asked him to take care of himself and left here first.
After Han Xiaoxi left, she didn't know where to go. She originally wanted to see Xiao Wang. But last time, Xiao Wang told her that he had recently met a girl and found her interesting, so they kept chatting.
Therefore, she thought it would be better not to disturb him. She finally got to know the girl, and she didn't want to become a prostitute because of her.
So after thinking about it, she finally decided to go home. Apart from Xie's house, it seemed that she had nowhere else to go.
"Miss, you are back."
As soon as Han Xiaoxi entered the house, the maid couldn't help but smile and greet her when she saw her.
Han Xiaoxi smiled awkwardly. She had lived here for so long, but she still wasn't used to being called Miss!
But she also knew that it was impossible to ask them to change it. So, she had no choice but to act awkwardly on her own.
"Where's the wife? Is she back?" Han Xiaoxi quickly asked the servant again.
"My wife came back, but left again. She said that when the eldest lady comes back, she asked me to tell you that she will not go home tonight and let you take care of yourself." The servant quickly replied to Han Xiaoxi.
Han Xiaoxi nodded. Although she didn't know why Lin Minrou wasn't staying at home today, she didn't ask any more questions because the servants couldn't know.
After finishing the meal, Han Xiaoxi unexpectedly found that she and Xie Zhaoyuan were alone.
Xie Mingxuan didn't come back, and Xie Longchen didn't come home tonight either. This made Han Xiaoxi feel uncomfortable, and she quickly sat face to face with Xie Zhaoyuan.
But that's it, Xie Zhaoyuan looked at her from time to time and said with an ambiguous smile: "Xiao Xi, we are the only two at home today. Since you came, dad has never had a good chat with you.
