Huo Yueshan looked at the pendant on Xie Xianyue's neck, which looked very familiar. She then looked at Xie Xianyue and said with a trembling voice, "What's wrong with the pendant on your neck? Let me see it."
Xie Xianyue's eyes revealed a trace of a triumphant smile when she heard this. However, the moment she threw her head back, her expression once again returned to a delicate and pitiful look. There was even a trace of confusion in her eyes.
Huo Yueshan stared at Xie Xianyue's pendant and said in a deep voice, "Come here."
When Xie Yiran saw this scene, she knew that the development of the matter was no longer under her control. She immediately gnashed her teeth so hard that they were about to shatter. She wished that she could go up and give Xie Xianyue a few big slaps and then tell Huo Yueshan that all of this was actually Xie Xianyue's act!
Xie Xianyue took off the pendant and handed it to Huo Yueshan. Then, she lowered her head and cried, "This was left to me by my mother before she died. When she was alive, I saw that my mother loved this pendant very much. It seems that someone gave it to her.
"Before she died, she gave this pendant to me. She said that she would let it replace her to protect me from now on..."
Huo Yueshan looked at the pendant carefully, and Xie Yiran's eyebrows twitched. She knew what would happen next. She wanted to stop it, but it seemed that this matter would continue as before.
As expected, Huo Yueshan looked at Xie Xianyue and asked excitedly, "What's your mother's name?"
Xie Xianyue looked confused when she heard that. Then, she looked at Huo Yueshan and said, "My mother's name is Pan Yu."
"Yes, yes." Huo Yueshan looked a little sad. "I didn't expect your mother to be gone..."
Xie Xianyue looked at Huo Yueshan's surprised look and said, "Do you know my mother?"
"I don't just know her. We used to be close. I gave her this thing. Unfortunately, there was a famine back then, so my parents took me away from my hometown. We haven't seen each other since then."
Huo Yueshan's eyes were a little wet as she spoke. "I didn't expect that when I heard about her again, she was already dead..."
Xie Yiran looked at Huo Yueshan and said, "Mom, don't worry. Since she's Aunt Pan's daughter, we can't treat her unfairly.
"Since that's the case, we can't let her work in our house anymore. Listening to her words, it seems like it is a little difficult for her to study now. Why don't we subsidize her tuition so that she won't have to worry about the future? What do you think?"
Xie Yiran felt that this was the best solution. Huo Yueshan thought that she was being generous. In order to prevent Xie Xianyue from living in her own house in the future, she could only give Xie Xianyue some money to get rid of her.
Those words were beautiful. As long as Xie Xianyue really did not have any ill intentions, she should take the money and leave.
Huo Yueshan wiped her tears. She felt that what Xie Yiran said made sense. She nodded and said, "That's right. You're right. Since she's the daughter of an old friend, then she shouldn't be working in our house.
"Child, don't work here anymore. As for the tuition fees you mentioned, you don't have to worry. We can subsidize you..."
When Xie Xianyue heard these words, a hint of unwillingness flashed in her eyes, but it disappeared in a second.
She had spent a lot of effort to come here. How could she just take some money and be sent away?
Therefore, before Huo Yueshan could finish her words, Xie Xianyue fell to her knees again with a plop. She looked at Huo Yueshan and cried, "Madam, no, Auntie, can I call you that?
"Before my mother died, she always told me about you. She also told me that if I saw you one day, I should treat you as her. Now, she has passed away.
"I also regret not being able to be filial to her. In that case, I should treat you as her. Please let me stay by your side and respect you!
"Yue'er didn't ask for anything. All she wanted was for me to treat you like her. It can be considered as consoling her mother's soul in heaven!"
When Xie Yiran heard this, she gnashed her teeth in hatred. This Xie Xianyue really did not have any good ideas from the start.
One had to know that Xie Yiran did not want to give her a single cent. She even wanted to kick her out. However, Xie Xianyue was not satisfied after receiving the money. She actually wanted to stay and live!
This was too much!
If Xie Yiran did not know what kind of person Xie Xianyue was, she would have been tricked by Xie Xianyue. However, it was impossible now!
