She dreamt about everything that happened before she turned 19 . The memories that she thought she had lost returned to her .
She realized that the Xia Xinghe of the past was no pushover; she wouldn't have ended up in such a miserable state .
She was once the pride of her family… but now…
Reflecting on the adversity that she had been forced to endure, tears of sadness rolled down her face .
"The patient is still unconscious but her condition has pretty much stabilized . She suffered from a minor concussion to the head, but one or two weeks of rest should be enough to put her back on her feet . However, she will need some supplements due to an extended period of malnourishment…"
Inside the hospital room, the doctor explained in detail Xinghe's physical condition to Mubai .
The statuesque man frowned slightly .
AdvertisementHow could Xinghe be suffering from prolonged malnourishment?
Mubai turned his head to look at Xinghe, just in time to notice the tear that was gliding down his ex-wife weathered face…
His eyes shook slightly as a cocktail of emotions surged in his heart .
Xia Xinghe, what kind of life have you been living after our divorce?
Simultaneously, Tianxin, who stood beside Mubai, also stared at Xinghe while nurturing her own thoughts .
She looked at the woman who once had Mubai, but was ultimately chased away by her; she was overjoyed . Her heart soared witnessing the wretched state Xinghe had fallen into .
Xia Xinghe, you lost to me once… you'll fare worse now that you're old and ugly . I can barely summon the energy to deal with you . I'm sure you'll just waste away like the trash that you've become .
After all, even for an idiot, the choice between a gorgeous woman and an old beggar would be exceptionally easy .
Tianxin might have reservations against a young, beautiful Xinghe, but now…
These thoughts buoyed Tianxin's mood so greatly that she was feeling gracious for her ex-rival .
She nudged Mubai and said softly, "Mubai, don't worry . I'm sure Xinghe will be fine . How about we find her a personal nurse or better yet, leave her some money . I believe that's what she needs the most now . "
Mubai looked at his fiancé and nodded slightly .
"Mubai, it's already quite late . We still have a family dinner to attend later tonight to discuss our upcoming nuptials . Shouldn't we be going?" Tianxin asked to test the waters .
Mubai then only realized such an event was indeed in his itinerary .
Ever since his divorce, he hadn't been looking for a new spouse but as the only male heir to the Xi Family, he had to marry to ensure the Xi Name lived on .
Tianxin was his childhood friend . The entire Xi Family was in love with her; her good looks and intellect were definite pluses as well . Therefore, after Mubai's divorce was finalized, the two families had been trying to match the two of them together .
Mubai was warm towards Tianxin but he wasn't in love with her . Then again, there was not a single woman that he was in love with .
Even his marriage to Xinghe wasn't out of love since it was an arranged marriage .
For him, as long as the wife was biologically female, he was fine with anyone filling the post .
His indifference only deepened after the failed marriage to Xinghe . He shrugged and agreed nonchalantly when his family brought up the idea of marrying Tianxin . And tonight was a dinner between the two families to discuss their wedding .
In fact, that morning, they were out to look for a restaurant to host their wedding reception, and dress shopping…
Who knew they would stumble into Xia Xinghe .
The ex-wife he hadn't met for 3 years .
Truth be told, Mubai had once wondered under what circumstances would they meet again . but none of the scenarios in his mind could have fitted the bizarre happenstance today .
Wasn't she the Xia Family's young mistress, how could she have landed in such a deplorable state?
