She observed the surrounding layout calmly and leisurely, wondering what she was thinking.

"Please sit down and have some tea." Xiao Jinglan ordered the servant to serve her tea, and then he sat down at the tea table first.

Upon hearing the voice, Wu Xiaoman withdrew her gaze and sat down leisurely.

"I wonder what Miss Wu has come here for today?"

Xiao Jinglan picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"It's about what happened before." Wu Xiaoman took a sip of tea and continued slowly.

"What I said to you last time was actually made up by me. My purpose was to deliberately sow discord between you and Asheng. In fact, nothing happened between him and me."

As soon as Wu Xiaoman opened her mouth, she spoke frankly without any reservation. The speed of her attitude change was like a sudden storm that caught people off guard.

Faced with this sudden frankness, Xiao Jinglan couldn't help but show a look of surprise, but she did not get angry immediately. Instead, she remained silent and waited quietly for the other party to continue speaking.

Time seemed to stand still, and the only sound in the entire hall was the two people's gentle breathing.

Soon, Wu Xiaoman broke the silence.

"I'm sorry, Miss Xiao." Her voice gradually became lowered, with a hint of sincerity and self-blame.

Xiao Jinglan looked at her quietly for two seconds, then calmly picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

After putting down the cup, he spoke slowly, "I already know about this matter, and I have received Miss Wu's apology. But why did you suddenly come to me and say this today?"

After saying all this, she never said the word "forgiveness".

When Wu Xiaoman heard her say that she knew about this, a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and said, "Nothing, I just suddenly felt that my previous behavior was too childish."

As she spoke, she seemed to realize the inappropriateness of her previous behavior and began to reflect sincerely.

“Before, I only knew that Ah Sheng was my fiancé, and I regarded him as my future partner, so I would not allow anyone to approach him and take him away.

But I didn't expect that he would fall in love with you and start a relationship with you, and even ended up breaking off the engagement for you, letting down our Wu family."

A look of loss appeared on Wu Xiaoman's face, and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

"After your wedding, I realized that he no longer belonged to me. I have known him since childhood, and I have been with him for so many years as his fiancée, but it is still not as good as the few years you have spent together. In the end, I lost."

Xiao Jinglan looked at the frustrated expression on her face and didn't know what to say for a moment. In the end, he could only hold the teacup and sip the tea.

Wu Xiaoman glanced at her and continued to smile bitterly at herself.

"Ms. Xiao, I really envy you. Even though your family has fallen on hard times, you still have Ah Sheng who cares about you and protects you, and the group of sisters around you never leave you.

Unlike me, I often stayed abroad when I was young. After returning to China, I was alone and had no one to confide in. My only fiancé became someone else’s husband. "

Xiao Jinglan listened to her words that seemed both self-deprecating and sarcastic, and a hint of vigilance flashed across his eyes.

Wu Xiaoman's words revealed her envy for her, as well as a hint of accusation.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know at first that he was engaged to you." Xiao Jinglan put down the teacup, lowered his head and apologized.

"It doesn't matter. Now that things have come to an end, I don't want to care about it anymore."
