Chapter 697 Why should I believe you?
After Luo Jingming and his wife passed away, Hilson had the idea of helping them find their daughter. However, the war was in a fierce stage at that time, and as the commander, he could not escape for a second. Han Nan's condition at that time also forced all the neighboring countries to close their connections and send people out to find investigations. It was even more impossible.
The war has subsided, but it has only happened recently. After everything is in trouble, the matter has become more busy, so this matter has gradually been delayed.
At this moment, the investigators who had just been sent out have not returned yet. Hilson knew almost nothing about the woman in front of him, except that she looked very similar to her master's "girl".
"Yes."
Xu Anning nodded, his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant.
"Let her sit down."
Hilson ordered the maid on the side, and the maid waved his hand. Several waiters who had already been outside the field immediately carried a chair in and placed it behind Xu Anning.
"Where did you come from? Why did you go to worship my master and wife?"
When Xu Anning sat down, Hilson looked at her with a look of her pupils that looked like a deep sky, and there was no sign of any emotional ups and downs on her face.
"I am from China. Your master and wife are my adoptive parents."
Xu Anning answered truthfully.
Hilson frowned.
Adoptional parents?
At that time, the master and his wife never mentioned that they had an adopted daughter. Why is the person in front of them so similar to the "girl" they mentioned?
"You're lying."
Hilson's eyes were cold, but the corners of his lips curled up slightly, making the smile even colder.
“There is no need to lie in this matter.”
Xu Anning's faint answer was not affected by Hilson's attitude at all.
"Is that true? There are people with ulterior motives everywhere, so tell me why my master and wife shouted out a completely different name to your photos."
Hilson raised his eyebrows, and the cold smile on the corners of his lips spread to the pupils.
"Is Luo Ningxi so? That's the pseudonym after I followed my adoptive parents. Xu Anning is my real name. As for the reason, it is my personal affairs of my family. Since I was ten years old, I have lived with my adoptive parents."
Xu Anning was ready for possible problems as early as the way to come.
But Hilson didn't buy it.
He curled the corners of his lips and sneered: "Why should I believe you? They are really your adoptive parents. Why are you not here when you were sent to the battlefield in Hannan? You only appeared after so long after something happened?"
Hilson paused, and his inner anger made his face darker: "Or it is because you are just adoptive parents, you have never treated them with care! Then why did you come to Han Nan at this time?"
He couldn't help but be angry. Luo Jingming and his wife looked lovingly at the photo. He could not forget the "girl" who was loved by them so much that they appeared after so long?
After hearing this, Xu Anning's eyes instantly dimmed.
Hilson's words were like a sharp knife, stabbing her heart accurately. She frowned slightly and slowly lowered her eyes, with unconcealed sadness in her eyes.
She stopped talking.
Hilson was originally ready, waiting for the other party's clever words and sophistry. He would expose any kind of high-sounding excuse on the spot. He almost believed that the woman in front of him must have come to Han Nan with a special purpose, but it was impossible for his master and wife. It has been two or three years since the accident happened, and anyone would doubt it.
But what he didn't expect was that Xu Anning did not make any defense.
The sadness between her eyebrows was so real that the person who saw it became nervous and couldn't help but feel sad.
"sorry……"
Xu Anning's inaudible voice came.
"What did you say?"
Hilson asked subconsciously.
Xu Anning suddenly raised his head, frowned, and tears filled his clear eyes. The shiny drops made people feel so distressed when they saw it.
She opened her red lips lightly and spoke slowly to Hilson: "Dad Luo likes to eat fish, and Mother Luo's steamed fish is the best; Mother Luo is a little allergic to avocado, so both of them never touch this fruit; Dad Luo likes to drink tea, Mother Luo likes to grow flowers; Mother Luo has a thin earthworm-shaped scar on the joint of the index finger of his left hand; they have a fixed little habit during surgery, that is, they must carry their own scalpel..."
Xu Anning told all the details and hobbies in Luo Jingming and Luo Nianwei's lives one by one. These things are not something that cannot be known if they live together all year round.
Hilson felt a little moved and began to believe the other person's words.
Xu Anning continued: "The purpose of my visit to Han Nan is to know about their real life in Han Nan, and how they came through the years when I was not around. It was me who missed all of that, but..."
Suddenly I couldn't continue talking.
She swallowed even more, biting her lip lightly, trying to suppress the upward sadness, not wanting to show her fragile emotions in front of strangers.
For some reason, Hilson suddenly couldn't bear to blame him anymore. For a moment, he regretted what he had said.
Sadness is obviously something that is not common.
This emotion made Hilson irritated. He didn't want to ask any more. He waved his hand impatiently and said in an unquestionable tone: "I'm tired, I'll talk about it tomorrow. The team will start to go back to the main urban area tomorrow. You will stay here tonight and must stay."
After saying that, regardless of Xu Anning's reaction, he stood up and left straight away.
A maid came forward and was about to lead her to rest as she was told.
Xu Anning looked at Hilson's back and fell into thought.
The purpose of her coming here was to understand her adoptive parents' real life in Han Nan. Before she knew it, she didn't want to leave.
Thinking of this, she got up from the seat and left with the maid.
——
The next day.
Hilson waited for news from investigators.
After the other party sorted out all the information, the person had not come back yet, so he called Hilson as soon as possible.
After the phone was answered, he greeted him respectfully, and then spoke up and told him everything he had investigated: "...I found out that Duke Luo's daughter Luo Ningxi was the wife of a man named Yan Liheng and had a boy. He died half a month before the incident with the Duke Luo and his wife. Two years later, Xu Anning, who looked very similar to Luo Ningxi, appeared..."
