Whispers to the Soul: Surrendering to Love Snare

Chapter 1253: Chapter 1272: Disciplining the An Family Mother and Daughter (18)

"If I had nothing to say, why would I stay up all night without sleeping? I’d be sick!"

An Yuya was silenced by her mother’s words: "Mom, that’s not what I meant."

The other snorted coldly and continued, "Tonight, I’ll give you a heads-up: don’t think you can enjoy this wealthy life forever. If we can’t get through this time, everything will be over."

Hearing this, An Yuya’s eyes finally showed panic: "Mom, didn’t you invite the director of the Bureau of Commerce for dinner tonight? Did he refuse to help?"

The latter shook her head with a gloomy expression: "Things aren’t as simple as you think. From the hidden meaning in the Bureau director’s words, it’s clear someone is deliberately setting us up."

An Yuya immediately thought of someone’s existence: "Is it An Nan causing trouble?" Her words were filled with gritted teeth, as if she couldn’t wait to find that person and confront them.

However, her mother’s reaction this time was beyond her expectations: "Even if An Nan did it, what can you do about her? Are you going to create a scene again? If you’re not worried about embarrassment, I can’t afford to lose face like that. If you’re capable, retaliate openly and honestly. Don’t keep making me clean up your mess. You might not feel ashamed, but I can’t afford to lose face like that."

"Mom, it’s An Nan who is shameless. She’s old yet she seduces younger men, and she just grabs the company with one move. Now she’s opposing us everywhere, also..."

An Yuya’s passionate words were sharply interrupted by Xi Xilan: "Enough, before criticizing others, first think about whether what you did was right. I know you like the Lin family’s boy, but why doesn’t he like you? And with the company’s affairs, why do you repeatedly lose to that woman? Haven’t I given you opportunities?"

An Yuya was rendered speechless by the questioning: "I... I..."

"Enough, you don’t need to say anything more, nor make any excuses. I don’t want to listen. I’m giving you a few orders now, just fulfill them."

"Mom, go ahead."

"Okay, first, find someone to investigate and see if this time’s company issue is caused by An Nan. Second, as you mentioned at the company today, investigate where your brother is, tell him I want to see him, and make sure to give me an answer quickly. This concerns our life and death; it can’t be dealt with carelessly like you’ve done in the past, understand?"

"Got it, Mom, I’ll make the calls now and instruct people to find out where Brother is."

"Good, go ahead."

Returning to her room, despite her dissatisfaction, An Yuya picked up the phone and started contacting her social network.

The next day, while she was dozing, she received a call. Upon getting An Liyang’s location, the first thing she did was to get up and knock on Xi Xilan’s bedroom door: "Mom, found Brother’s whereabouts."

Xi Xilan almost didn’t sleep all night either, only faintly falling asleep at dawn. But upon hearing shouting from outside, she promptly got out of bed to open the door: "You’ve found your brother, that’s well done."

Everyone likes approval, and An Yuya is no exception: "Mom, it’s nothing, what do we do next?"

The latter thought for a moment and answered without hesitation: "Go find your brother."
