"I’m thanking you for saving my life."
A simple, matter-of-fact sentence caused both Chi Niannian and Xiyan to lift their eyes in shock.
Huh, what does Ou Jue an by that?
Xiyan bit lightly on her finger.
Am I like his lifeline?
Eh hehe...
Xiyan’s lips curved upward, and she began to giggle foolishly without realizing it.
"Ou Jue, why didn’t you co out sooner?" An Ran grumbled from the side, "We just ran into one of Xiyan’s old classmates from elentary school. That woman is insanely annoying; she’s always been obsessed with competing with Xiyan since we were kids. Just now, I told her that the entire shop had been reserved by Xiyan’s boyfriend, but she claid we were bragging."
Hearing this, Ou Jue turned to Xiyan, "Which elentary school classmate?"
Xiyan sighed and said helplessly, "I already forgot her na, but she seems to be with Luo Mingchuan now."
Suddenly, Xiyan’s phone rang.
Taking it out to check, she saw that the call was from the hospital!
Her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly answered, "Hello?"
"Miss Xia, good news! Your mother has woken up. Please co to the hospital imdiately!"
Boom—
Xiyan’s mouth slightly opened, her brain seed to blank out in an instant, and her phone slipped from her hand.
When a person is overwheld to the extre, it turns out they can’t react at all...
In her mind, the doctor’s words kept echoing: Your mother has woken up.
Your mother has woken up!
Xiyan turned and dashed out as if she had gone mad.
-
At Xia Mansion.
Xia Shiyi and Yang Shurong had just returned ho after shopping, carrying a pile of bags, their faces brimming with delight.
In the living room, Xia Zhengxiong was sitting on the sofa, smoking a cigarette. He glanced at the luxurious items the mother and daughter had bought and said, "Can’t you two spend money more responsibly?"
Their monthly expenses alone were enormous!
The company wasn’t doing well now, and the Xia Family’s nest egg was nearly depleted!
"Why? After suffering so much in the countryside for so many years, I finally get to enjoy a better life, and you won’t even let splurge a little?" Yang Shurong rolled her eyes.
"Exactly, Dad, what do you an by that? You earn money but won’t let Mom and spend it, as if you’d rather give it to Xia Xiyan and her vegetative mother?"
Xia Zhengxiong raised his hands to hold his head, "This house... doesn’t even truly belong to us."
For days, he had been haunted by nightmares of Xiyan’s deceased grandfather, ghostly and vengeful, demanding retribution.
Yang Shurong stepped forward, "Who says it’s not ours? It is ours! This Xia Mansion is what we built; it has nothing to do with Xia Xiyan!
Stop overthinking, husband. Xia Xiyan doesn’t know anything about what happened seventeen years ago. The Xia Family has always been a single-child lineage, and there’s no one else related. We’ve taken care of the people that needed handling.
Plus, Xia Xiyan’s mother is a vegetative state; she’ll never wake up. What are you even afraid of?
The secret from seventeen years ago—it’s impossible for anyone to find out!
Even if we took over the Xia Family’s assets, so what? Xia Xiyan’s mother deserved it for being filthy, getting pregnant with that illegitimate child before marriage. It’s all karma; those two won deserve their suffering!"
Seated on the side, Xia Shiyi toyed with her phone, waiting impatiently for a reply from the man she had sent to teach Xia Xiyan a lesson earlier.
Why couldn’t she get through? The call wouldn’t connect!
Hearing her mother’s words, she chid in gleefully, "Exactly, Xia Xiyan deserves it! She deserved even more to be tossed aside by Young Master Ou!"
The campus gossip—the post about Ou Jue breaking up with Xia Xiyan—was still online.
Xia Shiyi felt imnsely pleased with herself.
And just then, the doorbell suddenly rang—
