His eyes stayed firmly fixed on Xing Li’s reaction.
From the moment he began to speak, Xing Li’s face swished and turned pale.
Her body trembled lightly and she kept backing up ……
“It’s all because of Xing Xing, if it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t be like this …… I didn’t mean to, I robbed my mum and dad, it was so hard to leave, I just wanted to wipe away all the traces she left behind, wipe it clean! I didn’t know how the fire got going and by the time I found out, it was too late ……”
Xing Li recalled the fire from ten years ago and crouched down with her hands on her head.
Fan Yu took a step forward, “What happened after that? Since the fire was already burning, why didn’t you run?”
“I ran!” Xing Li oohed and aahed, her eyes red, “I ran back to my room, grabbed my bedside family photo frame and tried to go downstairs when I found my parents rushing into Xing Xing Xing’s room!”
“……”
“The fire was so big that the moment the door opened, tongues of fire reached out from inside, I saw with my own eyes, those flames jumped onto my dad’s body and surrounded him at once, my mum tried to save her and desperately tried to put out the fire for him, and ended up catching fire herself ……”
Xing Li’s voice became choked as her hands gripped her hair hard.
“I shouted desperately, but they couldn’t hear me, and then, when my mother finally saw me, she wouldn’t let me come forward, yelling at me to run …… I was so dazed, I couldn’t walk, and I watched my mum and dad die from the fire… …”
The fire, it was like a nightmare.
Burning everything to the ground.
The love she wanted from her father and mother, her home.
It was all gone.
Xing Li suddenly stood up in agitation, her body tensed up, and in her eyes, there was a ruthless light.
“It’s all because of Xing Xing! It’s all because of that sweeper! If she hadn’t come to the Xing family, this wouldn’t have happened to the Xing family, it’s all because of her! She’s gone, but my parents still can’t let her go. They knew her room was on fire, but they still rushed in despite everything. …… They’re going to die because of Xing Xing Xing! I want Xing Xingxing to pay for their deaths!”
“You’re wrong, you’re the one who killed them!” An angry voice came from the dark part of the living room.
Nian Xiaomu walked out.
Meeting Xing Li’s shocked gaze, he stepped in front of her.
“You know very well yourself, the day the fire happened, I was already picked up, it was your mother and father who personally carried me to the car, how could they not know that I was no longer in the Xing family? When my room caught fire, they rushed in despite everything because they knew that you were the only one left in the Xing family, and the person they wanted to save despite their lives was you!”
Nian Xiaomu gritted her teeth fiercely.
How could she not have imagined that the fire ten years ago was really caused by Xing Li just as Yu Yuehan had guessed?
Xing Li clearly knew the cause of the fire, but in front of the reporters, she turned black and white right and wrong, putting all the blame on her.
It made everyone think that the Xing family couple’s death was because of her, the calamity.
“Because of me?” Xing Li opened her mouth to say something, but in the end, she just stared straight at Nian Xiaomu.
Returning to her senses, her emotions became broken.
“Because of me…… how could it be because of me……”
Xing Li oohed and aahed, rushing forward and grabbing Nian Xiaomu’s shoulders.
“You nonsense! It’s obviously because of you that the Xing family has become like this, I’m going to kill you!”
