Chapter 1343: Xi Siyan’s Wound (3)

Liu Xiaoyu’s expression, Zhou Chengchen couldn’t see it, but from the cold tone, he could easily imagine that his face must look extremely unpleasant right now.

Although Liu Xiaoyu is slow and emotionally unintelligent, he has no issues with politeness in dealing with others.

Zhou Chengchen had never seen him speak to someone like this, clearly with disdain.

Zhang Yi seemed to be taken aback by Liu Xiaoyu’s attitude. After being stupefied for a moment, she said, "I am Xi Siyan’s mother, I want..."

She hadn’t finished speaking when Liu Xiaoyu interrupted with an even icier tone, "Mother? Liar, right? Our President Xi is an orphan."

These words almost made Zhou Chengchen choke, looking again at Zhang Yi’s equally displeased face.

Liu Xiaoyu couldn’t care less about her, without a word, he chased her out and locked the door.

Having done these swiftly and smoothly, Liu Xiaoyu returned to the desk; the look of discontent on his face yet to dissipate. Zhou Chengchen had already picked up his lunchbox, gesturing towards Xi Siyan’s office: "Eat inside?"

The two walked into the office, and Zhou Chengchen skipped the small talk, diving straight in: "You know that’s Si Yan’s mom, right? Why speak like that?"

Knowing Liu Xiaoyu for so many years, Zhou Chengchen had never seen him confront anyone like this, even the other time, he only got too upset and went to fight someone. Such sarcastic words today, Zhou Chengchen truly saw for the first time.

Liu Xiaoyu kept his head down, poking at the meal box with his chopsticks, silent for quite a moment before speaking: "You know the great person... you know about the bone marrow donation back then, right?"

Zhou Chengchen nodded, this is something that led to their three-year separation, she certainly knew.

"And you know that woman meddled in it, right?"

Zhou Chengchen kept nodding, she’d also heard Xi Siyan talk about it.

"Then you should know Xi Family gave a sum of money to the great person."

Zhou Chengchen was still nodding, Xi Siyan hadn’t hidden this from her either.

But what does this have to do with Zhang Yi?

"Three-quarters of that money was later taken by that woman."

"What?"

When Liu Xiaoyu spoke those words, the look of indignation reappeared on his face, while Zhou Chengchen was utterly shocked.

Xi Siyan had never mentioned this, she certainly didn’t know.

"She went to find the great person at that time, and I just happened to be there too. I overheard her saying something about her husband and needing money, claiming she’d raised the great person for so many years, so the money should be the great person’s filial piety. I don’t remember her exact words, but that was the gist, and I was incensed at the time."

Zhou Chengchen frowned listening, Liu Xiaoyu’s explanation was unclear, but she knew he wasn’t one to exaggerate. The fact that Liu Xiaoyu was so angry meant that Zhang Yi’s words were unquestionably harsh.

"So she comes to the great person now, definitely wanting money again. How can someone like this be a mother?"

Listening, Zhou Chengchen’s heart felt cold. She recalled Xi Siyan’s expression from the afternoon and understood further why Xi Siyan took his father’s call but hung up on his mother.

Back then, Zhang Yi must have wounded Xi Siyan to the core.

Suddenly, Zhou Chengchen’s heart throbbed. She had always enjoyed endless parental love and couldn’t theoretically empathize with Xi Siyan’s experience, yet now she felt she truly understood how deep and painful Xi Siyan’s wounds were.

During the time she was away, was he silently healing his wounds alone?
