Whispers to the Soul: Surrendering to Love Snare

Chapter 1256: Chapter 1275: Disciplining the An Family Mother and Daughter (21)

The more Xi Xilan thought about it, the more furious she became. She couldn’t understand why the son she carried for ten months and gave birth to showed no affection for her, yet treated the bastard born of a wretched woman so well.

At the same time, this thought fortified her heart, and she started to remind herself incessantly: "Don’t think about irrelevant matters. Achieving my goal is the most important thing right now. In the future, if her son still acknowledges her as his mom, he won’t be shortchanged. Otherwise, she will act as if she never had this son."

Once her heart was resolute, the words she spoke were like a sharp blade, capable of piercing through the heart.

"An Liyang, my purpose for finding you today is very simple. I want you to return to the company to help me. Are you willing or not? Give me a straightforward answer. If you are unwilling, I can provide you with a reason you can’t refuse."

"Let’s hear it." The handsome face, initially wearing a half-smile, now broke into a more flamboyant grin, tinged with a strong, seductive beauty that left the three women at the scene staring at him wide-eyed.

Even Xi Xilan, as the motherly woman, looked at him in disbelief.

But An Liyang seemed oblivious to the commotion he caused. As he got no answer he wanted, a hint of impatience started to show in his eyes: "If you’re here to daydream, then go ahead. I don’t have time for this."

When he once again made a move to leave, Xi Xilan got flustered, hurriedly reaching out to tug at his clothes, only to have him forcefully brush her off the next moment: "If you have something to say, just say it. There’s no need for all the grabbing."

Xi Xilan looked at her hands in disbelief after being brushed aside, then yelled anxiously at the person before her: "An Liyang, don’t forget I am your mom. Can I not even touch the hem of your clothes?"

Such heart-wrenching words did nothing to soften An Liyang’s expression. Instead, his impatience grew: "Will you speak or not? I’m giving you one last chance."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xi Xilan panicked and hurriedly blurted out the reason for her visit: "I want you to come back and help me."

An Liyang merely raised an eyebrow after hearing her out: "Help you? With what?"

"This development project, help me get through this crisis. From now on, I’ll never hinder whatever you wish to do."

An Liyang smirked disdainfully and retorted: "Hinder? Can you even hinder me?"

Regarding this, Xi Xilan had no confidence, but since she had already said it, there was no turning back. She could only grit her teeth and persist: "Even if I can’t hinder you, I will. If necessary, I don’t mind finding the sister you care about the most."

As expected, his expression changed instantly: "Xi Xilan, don’t you dare."

Realizing she had finally hit the mark, Xi Xilan became smug: "Why wouldn’t I dare? If the company is gone, I’ve got nothing left to lose. So what do I have to fear? So, will you agree or not? Just one word." She was not at all worried that this evil son would refuse her.
