nUnfortunately, Tianxin couldn't stop the rest of the world from talking.

n

"Who is that? How come we've not seen her before?

"

n

"She does look familiar though…

"

n

"You know… I think she's CEO Xi's ex-wife.

"

n

"No, you're right! Why else would Young Master Xi be holding her hand? That's his mom…

"

n

"So, it is CEO Xi's ex-wife!

"

n

"But didn't I hear the woman is a common housewife? How is it possible she turned out to be someone so extraordinary?

"

n

"It's CEO Xi's ex-wife, of course she isn't someone ordinary…

"

nTianxin's face got increasingly blanched as the comments of the people around her drifted into her ears.

nShe balled her fists angrily, her nails almost piercing through the ball of her palms.

nShe had to accept the truth. The woman who Xi Lin was leading slowly into the ballroom was Xia Xinghe.

nThe Xia Xinghe she had been hankering to humiliate all night. The Xia Xinghe she had been waiting to make an appearance.

nNow that she did, how come it was completely different from what she imagined?

nXia Xinghe, that b*tch, she shouldn't be able to present herself like this, so glamorous, in a million-dollar dress on top of that!

nThis is all wrong! This is not the spectacle I want to see!

nFor the past two days, Tianxin had been practicing her insults, even in her dreams she was throwing shade at Xinghe.

nAnd now? The reality was worse than her worst nightmare!

nXinghe was beautiful, graceful, calm and collected. More than that, she had Xi Lin that bastard son of hers leading her by the arm as they ambled into the ballroom. With Xi Lin at her side, she naturally had all the attention.

nEven Mubai was staring at her transfixed.

nWitnessing how absorbed Mubai was, Tianxin went several hues paler.

nThe abuse and insults she kept memorized in her mind gradually turned into misgivings…

nShe was struck by a sudden ominous feeling.

nShe could see it crumbling before her, her plans sifting through her grasp.

nXinghe had landed a crushing blow on her by just arriving there.

nThe tables would definitely turn if Xinghe was allowed to stay any longer. She would be the laughing stock instead of Xinghe.

nNo, she couldn't let that happen. The night's show was Xinghe's 'Humiliation Extravaganza', Tianxin wouldn't allow last minute changes! As they say, the show must go on!

nTianxin quickly collected herself, forced a smile and looked at Xi Lin with fake motherly kindness as she said with underlying accusation,

"Lin Lin, where did you go off to? Do you not know that your little irresponsible disappearing act has all of us here, especially your father and me, deeply worried?

"

nTianxin broke the silence, intending to use her words to pull everyone back onto Xi Lin's disappearance.

nShe purposely put herself in the sentence beside Mubai to let everyone know she was his chosen partner, the future Mrs. Xi.

nHowever, she forgot the 4-year-old Xi Lin never liked her to begin with.

nXi Lin disregarded her completely.

nThe little boy walked past her to Mubai's side and pushed his other hand into Mubai's grasp.

nBoth Mubai and Xinghe were startled by his action.

nSo was basically everyone else in the room.

nThe boy had in his one hand, his mother and in his another, his father… forming a picture-perfect family.

nXinghe's softer elegance complimented Mubai's rugged good looks and their son had the good qualities of both. The family of three looked so ideal together that one would be hard-pressed to find fault with the picture.

nIt was as if they were meant to be.

nLike a puzzle, they fitted together perfectly, missing anyone would be akin to a rainbow missing a color…

nThe craziest thing was even Tianxin herself was impressed by how suited they were for one another…

nThe thought was shoving her towards a mental breakdown.
