Mubai nodded back politely which surprised Chengwu. Heâd thought Mubai was hard to please like most Young Masters, but he didnât seem like thatâŠ
After they went inside the house, Mubai finally drove away. An onslaught of questions awaited Xinghe. She hadnât seen her uncle for a long time so she missed him a lot. Therefore, she answered all of his questions patiently.
After making sure she was indeed feeling better, Chengwu concluded happily, âItâs wonderful that youâre back. You have no idea how worried the whole family was. How could I face your father if something were to happen to you? Youâre his only daughter after all.â
Out of the blue, Xinghe asked, âUncle, do you know how my father and mother met?â
Chengwu smiled, reminiscing. âYour father told me about this before. When they met, we, the Xia family, hadnât made a name for ourselves yet. Your father was the manager of a small restaurant. One day, your mother appeared in front of your fatherâs shop and sat there for one whole day. Your father realized she probably hadnât eaten because she had been sitting there all day. Out of concern, he invited her in and offered her a job in exchange for food and housing. That was how they met.
âHowever, not long after that, your mother left but about two or three years later, she suddenly reappeared again. She came to your father saying she would like to cooperate with him to open a hotel. She provided most of the capital and your father agreed after a short consideration.
âThey eventually got together and gave birth to you. However, for who knows what reasons, your mother didnât seem to like your father. At the peak of their business, a few years after you were born, she asked for a divorce. In their settlement, the wealth was to be split half, and your father agreed after thinking it over for a few days.
âHe told me, your mother didnât belong to him so he had been preparing for that. He knew the divorce was inevitable/â
Xinghe was confused. âFather saw the divorce coming? But why?â
âNo idea, Iâm not very clear about the details of what happened between them. Your father didnât like to go into details but I know from spending time with her that your mother was someone incredibly unique. It was like she was some entity different from the rest of us.â1
Xinghe knew basically everything Chengwu told her. Sheâd thought she could get more information from him but it looked like it was useless. She continued chatting with her uncle for a few more minutes before retiring to her room. She hadnât slept the night before so she went out like a light the moment her head hit the pillow.
On the other side of city, someone was having trouble sleeping. Saohuang was informed that the Xi familyâs suspicion had completely been cleared.
He didnât expect that Mubai would find out about his plan beforehand and even manage to capture Zhou Jiaming.
Even though Jiaming wouldnât rat him out, the plan was undeniably an utter failure!
His plan was to crush the Xi family with one move and not give them any chance to recuperate. The plan had failed, revealing his plans to the Xi family meant it would be that much harder to come after the Xi family next rime!
Saohuang was furious. He was also given punishment by his superior due to his insolence towards the Xi family.
Saohuangâs face was drawn but he kept his anger in check until he got home.. The moment he got home, he blew up like a pent-up volcano! Things went flying all over the place!
