Chapter 434: Passion and indifference! Snobbery and cold-heartedness!

In front of the apartment building.

The twilight deepened, and the streetlights lit up one by one, casting halos of warm yellow light.

Xia Xia Xia Mujun and Xia Muruli stood side by side at the entrance of a modern apartment building.

Xia Muruli looked up at the towering structure, then turned to her brother beside her, asking curiously in a soft voice:

"Brother, come to think of it, Ruli has never been to the Kondo home. Do they live here now?"

Xia Xia Xia Mujun nodded and replied calmly:

"Yes."

Since this visit had been arranged in advance, it was not a spur-of-the-moment decision like last time.

Xia Xia Xia Mujun had specifically bought a gift box from a well-regarded pastry shop and carried it in his hand to avoid the rudeness of arriving empty-handed.

As for his sister accompanying him, there was naturally no need to prepare a separate gift.

Xia Muruli vaguely remembered that after their father passed away, the two families had basically cut off contact.

Not a single person from the Kondo family had even appeared at their father's funeral.

Therefore, she did not hold much affection for this family in her heart.

However, Aunt Kondo Miyuki was an exception.

Xia Muruli knew that Aunt Kondo Miyuki had simply not known the news of their father's passing, which was why she hadn't been able to come.

Later, Aunt Miyuki had actually gone to the cemetery to pay her respects alone—Xia Muruli had seen it with her own eyes.

As for whether Kondo Miki, Aunt Miyuki's daughter, had gone with her, she didn't know.

It didn't matter if she came or not.

After all, as someone else's child, not visiting the grave of someone who was neither a relative nor a friend was a perfectly normal thing; it was not strange at all.

So she could choose not to care about Kondo Miki, nor did she mind whether the other party was cold-hearted.

But Kondo Masasuke was different.

That man definitely knew.

Since that was the case, the lack of any subsequent contact must have been intentional.

Their Xia family had indeed fallen on hard times.

Most people chose to distance themselves in such situations, fearing they would be burdened by trouble; it was human nature, and she wasn't surprised.

Knowing was one thing, and not caring was another.

But this matter must never be forgotten.

After all, in the past, their father had actually treated Kondo Masasuke quite well.

Yet after the Xia family went bankrupt, this man hadn't even offered a single greeting, let alone visited as he used to.

Furthermore, after their father passed away, he hadn't even visited the grave once; it was truly too snobbish and too cold-hearted.

Regarding these things, she and her brother were of the same mind; they would absolutely not forget.

Those who treat you well when you are successful are not necessarily sincere.

Those who still treat you well when you are down are the ones who are truly sincere.

Of course.

She wasn't plotting any "revenge" or anything of the sort; it hadn't reached that point.

After all, she knew many others like Kondo Masasuke.

Xia Muruli didn't actually have anything special she wanted to do about it.

Her only wish was to stay away from these people and live a peaceful, good life with her brother.

And coming here this time was purely because Aunt Miyuki was a truly kind person who had invited them several times, even coming to their home in person to extend the invitation, so she and her brother really couldn't decline again.

At this moment.

Kondo Miyuki walked to the door of Kondo Miki's room and raised her hand to knock gently on the door panel.

"Miki, Xia Xia Xia Mujun and his sister have already arrived downstairs. If you have time, could you go down and meet them?" ===== CHAPTER 435 =====
