nThe thought that both of them had something going on behind her back grated on Tianxin's nerves.

nShe was confident that the present Xinghe was no longer worthy competition but she still felt threatened.

nSince that hussy had decided to bow out of the competition, why didn't she move her *ss further away‽

nShe had to make an appearance when her marriage to Mubai was so close to fruition!

nShe'd better not stand in her way or Tianxin swore she would give her hell!

nHowever, very quickly, Tianxin realized her fears and worries were unfounded.

nThe place where Xinghe called home was… obviously meant for beggars.

nTianxin had never seen a worse residence.

nSuffocated with a disgusting smell, the place was grimy and dirty.

nShe kept a wide berth from its residents for fear of infection.

nThe anxiety that she felt in the car immediately turned into joy when she saw the place Xinghe lived. If not for Mubai's insistence, she wouldn't be caught dead in this area.

nShe was, however, willing to make an exception to shove her victory down Xinghe's throat.

nTianxin clutched Mubai's arms and said with exaggerated worry,

"Mubai, are you sure Xinghe lives here? How does she do it? If I was her, I would work extra hard to not end up here.

"

nShe meant, it was due to Xinghe's own degeneration that she still lived there.

nHer disdain towards Xinghe grew.

nShe found herself foolish for having reservations against Xinghe. The woman was definitely not worth her time.

nMubai frowned. He didn't expect Xinghe to live in such squalor either.

nHe would have to make sure she accepted his alimony this time. He couldn't let her continue living like this.

nThe pair was led, wordlessly, by Chang An to Xinghe's apartment.

n

"CEO Xi, this is Ms. Xia's place,

" Chang An said with a bow.

n

"Knock on it,

" ordered Mubai.

nChang An knocked on the door politely but there was no response.

nTianxin finally lost her patience, she didn't want to stay there anymore so she said,

"Mubai, maybe they're not home. No matter what you want to give Xinghe, I'm sure you can mail it to her.

"

n

"Who are you looking for?

" Suddenly, a man from a few doors away asked cautiously.

nChang An looked his away and enquired politely,

"I'm sorry, sir but do you know where the Xia family is? Why there is no one to answer the door?

"

n

"Oh, you're looking for them. Your timing is not so good, something happened so I suspect they're all at the hospital now.

"

nThe party was startled, Mubai asked,

"What happened?

"

nThe man proceeded to explain everything that had happened yesterday.

nMubai was shocked to discover that such a thing had happened. He knew Chengwu's health hadn't been good lately so this didn't bode well for him.

nFurthermore, it was likely that his family didn't have the money to pay his medical bills.

nIt was all the more reason for him to pass the alimony to Xinghe.

nMubai told Chang An immediately that they had to go to the hospital. Tianxin didn't have any comment this time, she followed obediently.

nNeedless to say, it was not compelled by the kindness of her heart. She could still remember clearly the last time they stumbled into Xia Xinghe.

nXinghe's shame-faced and flustered look when she noticed them before she ran away with her tail between her legs still brought her immense satisfaction.

nShe would smile every time she pulled up the image in her mind.

nNow that dumb woman had found herself in a worse condition, she definitely didn't want them to see her.

nHowever, Xinghe had no choice but swallow the little pride that she still had to accept their charity this time.

nTianxin almost laughed out loud envisioning the look of shame and defeat on Xia Xinghe's face. What she wouldn't give to join them at the hospital.
