At the scene, the faces of the three people turned ugly simultaneously after Xi Xilan finished speaking.
Was An Yuya frightened because she heard a shocking secret?
Xi Xilan's anger hadn't subsided yet.
As for An Liyang, his emotions were too complex, filled with heartache, struggle, and anger...
He felt heartache that his own mother would treat him this way.
He struggled, struggled with the facts in her words.
He was angry; if it weren't for this woman and her many manipulations, would things have ended up like this today? For her reputation and status, she sacrificed her son's happiness. Perhaps in her eyes, she only saw herself, and everyone else fell into two categories: those who could be used and those who couldn't.
Those who could be used, she'd tightly hold onto, while those who couldn't would become discarded pawns.
And as for what he meant to her, he already knew the answer.
Just someone she wanted to tightly hold onto, yet never could succeed.
