Chapter 680: Chapter 682: Would You Believe Me If I Said I Have Memories of My Past Life?

Old Xia and He Fang watched the odd expression on their female colleague’s face and their hearts suddenly skipped a beat, wondering if Lin Xiang had betrayed their son.

The female colleague then said, "It’s impossible for Lin Xiang to be pregnant. She hasn’t been at our company for very long, and we always do a physical examination before hiring. If she were pregnant, our company wouldn’t have hired her. Besides, she went out with our boss, so you’ll have to wait for her. However, I don’t know when Lin Xiang will be back."

Old Xia and He Fang immediately waited outside the real estate company for Lin Xiang, but even as it grew dark, they didn’t see Lin Xiang return.

The two of them were so hungry that they felt dizzy and faint as they supported each other and went home. Xia Yong was at home playing computer games so intensely that he didn’t even respond when his parents called him.

Old Xia immediately cut off the power, and Xia Yong burst out angrily, "What are you doing?"

"You’re still playing games? Why don’t you go see what Lin Xiang is doing? She’s been with your boss every day. I asked around, and they said she had a physical examination; she’s not pregnant at all."

Old Xia and He Fang were very angry in their hearts. If Lin Xiang wasn’t pregnant, that meant she had deceived them.

"She is with the boss all the time. Isn’t that normal?" Xia Yong didn’t see any problem with it. He even thought that Lin Xiang was handling affairs for him, and felt his parents were making a fuss over nothing.

As for the matter of not being pregnant, Xia Yong was even more at ease. "The pregnancy was just our speculation, and we’re still young. What’s there to worry about?"

Old Xia and He Fang looked at their son like this, feeling very frustrated in their hearts. Their son seemed more willing to trust Lin Xiang than them.

"Ah Yong, how could you have become like this?" He Fang’s eyes were filled with hurt. In her eyes, her son used to be so good.

When Old Xia heard He Fang’s analysis, he felt the same and hated Lin Xiang even more.

As for Lin Xiang, she actually took the initiative to find Xia Yong, and upon seeing her, Xia Yong immediately said, "Xiang, one apartment for my parents and make sure one is under your name. Have you managed that?"

"Are you really willing to put one under my name?" Lin Xiang had originally planned to break up with Xia Yong, but upon hearing his words, she felt a bit taken aback. She had always been with others with an ulterior motive.

Even though Xia Yong was naive, useless, didn’t earn money, loved to play cards, and was addicted to video games, apart from giving her his heart and his good looks, Lin Xiang didn’t see any other strengths in Xia Yong.

Although Lin Xiang had secured an apartment from Boss Wang, she was still touched by Xia Yong’s words and tested, "You won’t regret it?"

"How could I regret it? You’re my wife, what’s mine is yours." This statement could touch any woman’s heart.

Lin Xiang, who had intended to break things off, now hesitated. After all, her situation with Boss Wang might not last forever, and if she broke up with Xia Yong and couldn’t rely on Boss Wang anymore, it would all be for naught.

Right then, Lin Xiang steadied Xia Yong, and soon after they went back, she quickly arranged the paperwork for both apartments, but she didn’t follow Xia Yong’s instructions to write one under the names of Old Xia and He Fang; instead, she wrote Xia Yong’s name.

Naturally, the other apartment was put under Lin Xiang’s name.

Lin Xiang also explained to Xia Yong, "I thought about it and decided to write your name anyway. Your parents are getting old, and you’re their only son. After all, the apartment would be yours in the end, and transferring it later would be a hassle. I simply wrote your name directly. You can let them live there, and after we’re married, we can live in the one under my name."

Xia Yong was touched by this and felt Lin Xiang was really considerate and that everything about her was perfect.

Meanwhile, Old Xia and He Fang felt like they were going to faint from anger, and He Fang couldn’t take it anymore and ended up in the hospital from the stress. Old Xia also felt like he was having a heart attack.

Photos and videos of Lin Xiang getting cozy with Boss Wang ended up with Xia Xiao. Xia Xiao didn’t have much feeling for Old Xia, He Fang, or Xia Yong anymore, but seeing Lin Xiang’s deception still upset her somewhat.

"Xiaoxiao, you’re paying too much attention to this matter, and you seem somewhat agitated," said Gao Jiaxing, who had known Xia Xiao for decades and had been married to her for just as long. He could tell that something was off with Xia Xiao.

Xia Xiao was slightly taken aback; she thought she had been indifferent, considering that in this life she had no relation to her family from her past life and had learned to let go, but she couldn’t help being emotionally affected. She hadn’t realized that Gao Jiaxing would notice.

Xia Xiao’s silence was met with Gao Jiaxing’s own silence.

The momentary stillness made them both uncomfortable, and only then did Xia Xiao look up at Gao Jiaxing, offering a slight smile.

Gao Jiaxing’s heart harbored a bit of hope. He knew Xia Xiao had a secret but never asked, waiting for the day she might choose to share it with him.

Even if Xia Xiao never spoke about it in her lifetime, Gao Jiaxing wouldn’t force her, still respecting Xia Xiao.

"If you can’t speak about it, then don’t," Gao Jiaxing spoke up.

Xia Xiao slowly shook her head. "It’s not that I can’t speak of it, just that I don’t know how to put it into words, since it concerns matters as deep as the ocean."

Gao Jiaxing looked at Xia Xiao, his hand instinctively tightening around hers, feeling a bit conflicted, both wanting to know and fearing the impact it might have on Xia Xiao if she revealed it.

Gao Jiaxing’s expression grew serious.

"In my past life, I was Xia Yong’s sister, the eldest daughter of this family. One day on my way to work, I received a call from He Fang—Lin Xiang wanted a dowry of two hundred thousand. He Fang asked for my help, but I was just a fresh graduate starting out in the workforce; where could I find two hundred thousand?"

Xia Xiao’s eyes held a sense of resignation as she recalled the past. "I didn’t agree, and He Fang said there was a middle-aged boss, widowed, who owned gaming halls, internet cafes, dance halls, cinemas, as well as real estate and stuff like that. They showed my photo to this boss—a beautiful, highly educated woman—and he was interested. They were hoping I would marry the boss, who would offer a house and money and also arrange a job for Xia Yong."

As Xia Xiao spoke, Gao Jiaxing’s expression turned icy.

Although it was indeed a matter as deep as the ocean, hearing it directly from Xia Xiao made Gao Jiaxing believe it.
