Chapter 1014: My Mom Would Never Like You!
Upon hearing the words "Zhuang Ning," Long Xiao’s eyes flickered, and he said, "I don’t know her."Mu Yan, anticipating that he might deny it, coldly said, "If I didn’t have solid evidence, do you think I would come to you?"
Long Xiao was at a loss for words. Because of her mom’s death, she hated him fiercely. Indeed, unless absolutely necessary, she wouldn’t come to him.
He thought that the secret would remain hidden until his death, but unexpectedly...
Well, debts always have to be repaid.
He closed his eyes briefly and asked, "What do you want to know?"
"Where did my mom meet you?"
"Upper City," Long Xiao replied.
Mu Yan’s face darkened, "Stop lying."
"I’m telling the truth. She doesn’t remember me," Long Xiao said, his tone somewhat bitter.
In fact, he had always been conflicted, both hoping she would remember him and hoping she never would.
Having stood for a while, his legs began to ache. These past few years in prison hadn’t been kind to him, and to be precise, he had given up on himself, and his legs suffered as a result.
He looked at Mu Yan and asked, "Can I sit and talk?"
"Whatever," Mu Yan turned her face away, not wanting to look at him.
Long Xiao sat down, and Lian Jun handed him a cup of hot tea.
"Thank you." He accepted the tea and thanked him.
Such polite and even slightly awkward behavior from him was hardly reminiscent of the once arrogant gang leader he had been.
In Mu Yan’s impression, four years ago, one could describe him as high-spirited. Even though he was already middle-aged, he exuded the dominance of a mature man, one appealing to young girls.
So, when he pursued her mom, she didn’t actually object.
Her mom had suffered too much and was in desperate need of a strong man to provide her with a warm harbor.
But who would have thought that her mom would die because of him, and he would be the cause of their difficult lives?
Recalling the past, Mu Yan’s face turned cold, "Can we continue?"
Long Xiao placed the teacup on the table and continued, "Ask away."
"What exactly is the story behind that photograph of you and my mom from seventeen or eighteen years ago?"
"Nothing ever happened between your mom and me."
"I already know," Mu Yan said sarcastically, "My mom wouldn’t be interested in you."
Long Xiao gave a bitter smile, "That’s true."
Years ago, when she was so prestigious, she didn’t care for him. And years later, when they met again, she was down on her luck and still didn’t regard him.
Mu Yan had no interest in hearing him express his feelings and asked, "So is the photograph edited?"
Was photo editing technology that advanced back then?
"No," Long Xiao shook his head, "That time, your mom had just finished a dinner party. She was drunk and booked a room outside to sleep. We took the opportunity to sneak in and took the photos."
Mu Yan glared, "Did you bully my mom?"
"No, no." Long Xiao hurriedly waved his hands.
The brothers who were with him at the time had suggested taking advantage of the situation, as Zhuang Ning was truly beautiful and quite famous in Beijing at the time.
He hadn’t expected the target of the task given by the boss to be her.
At that moment, he had a moment of struggle in his heart, but in the end, because of his dirty little personal reasons, he took those photos.
However, facing that face, he really couldn’t bring himself to do it, as if it would have been desecrating a deity.
Mu Yan asked again, "So who instructed you? Hotel room doors aren’t that flimsy. Was someone collaborating with you from the inside?"
Long Xiao collected his thoughts and answered, "At the time, I was just a small-time delinquent in Beijing, doing anything that came my way. The job was taken by the boss, and I don’t know who the financer was, but indeed, someone was cooperating with us."
"Who?"
