377. Chapter 377: The Truth Comes Out 1

When I finished speaking, I didn't expect Liu Xi to be even more excited than me, shaking me as he said: "Older sister, you must never listen to whatever Ahao says; the two of us together aren't suitable. You're just trying to sow discord, so you must absolutely not fall for his scheme, or you'll regret it later."

"Is that so? But I think he's not that kind of person, and he basically has no interest in me. Do you think I'm some kind of popular girl?" I said disdainfully.

"A Xi, A Xi..." At that moment, Lao Ma's voice came from outside.

"Here, here, what are you doing?" Liu Xi hurriedly stood up, opened the door, and said.

At that moment, Lao Ma came in holding Liu Xi's pants, scolding him: "You kid, all you know is wasting money; you don't realize how hard it is for me and your father to earn money."

"Mom, what did I do?" Liu Xi looked at Lao Ma, bewildered from the scolding; actually I was also bewildered—what had Liu Xi done?

"Look at this—what is this? You even sent your clothes to the shop to be washed, and one wash costs twenty-something bucks; twenty-something dollars could buy a packet of laundry detergent. Doesn't anyone at home help you wash your clothes? Or do you think I don't wash them clean enough?" Lao Ma threw the laundry list at Liu Xi as she said.

I quickly picked up the slip and looked at it—the date was indeed correct, the time matched; it really was Shangguan Yun's, Shangguan Yun really hadn't lied to me, I had wrongly blamed him. My eyes lit up, my heart swelled with joy, I felt as if my illness had vanished instantly—my previously painful, heavy head felt better.

"Xuanxuan, why are you grinning foolishly at the slip?" Lao Ma looked at me, bewildered; hearing her voice, I realized I had acted strangely, lost my composure.

I stole a glance at Liu Xi and said: "No, I'm just happy to hear Liu Xi being scolded." I deliberately put on a gloating expression. But the corners of my mouth couldn't help turning up, while Liu Xi sat beside me, head lowered, giving me a look of contempt.

"I really can't do anything with you two; I'll deduct your living expenses—from now on you'll get eighty per week, so you won't have money to waste." Lao Ma said fiercely to Liu Xi.

"Good, good deduction. You don't know how hard it is for Mom and Dad to earn money." I continued to gloat.
