Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Make Him Spit it Out_1 Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Make Him Spit it Out_1 Xia Jianren looked down at the foolish woman in his arms, feeling smug deep down.
Because he had deceitfully gotten his hands on so money, Xia Jianren felt guilty and restless at ho. That’s why he actually took off in his car on the afternoon of the first day of the new lunar month.
Normally, he would have stayed until at least the third or fourth day.
Even though Ningxing had her suspicions, she didn’t really care—she was actually glad he had left.
Mrs. Xia couldn’t help but sigh, feeling a sourness in her heart, but then she thought about how her husband was out doing business, not ssing around, and she imdiately felt better.
It was not until the sixth day, when they were supposed to visit their grandmother, that Ningxing found out all the money in the house was gone.
The reason for this discovery was that Ningxing suddenly recalled an important mory from the original owner of the body.
When the original owner was three years old, she had pneumonia. At that ti, Mrs. Xia had tried to borrow money from everyone, only to be turned away. Even her malicious grandmother had bluntly said that there was no point in treating a money-losing good-for-nothing, and that it would be better off thrown away.
In the end, it was their grandmother who had sold her gold chain to pay for the original owner’s treatnt; otherwise, the original owner might have long since passed away.
Although the original owner was no longer alive, Ningxing, having taken over her body, felt obligated to show filial piety.
And for their family now, replacing a gold chain weighing a few dozen grams was no big deal.
So, as they prepared to set off for their grandmother’s house, Ningxing, with her short legs, ca to Mrs. Xia, gently grasped the hem of her clothes, and blinked her large eyes, “Mom, you rember the ti when Grandmother sold her gold chain to treat my pneumonia, don’t you? Let’s go buy a new one and give it to Grandma today!”
Upon hearing this, her brothers imdiately also expressed their emotions, “If it wasn’t for Grandma, our sister might not be with us today.”
“Yes…”
“So, Mom, let’s go buy the gold chain first, then go to Grandma’s house!”
Her five brothers were also very sensible and knew to repay kindness with gratitude.
“This… this… Of course, I haven’t forgotten about it, it’s just that…” But Mrs. Xia was hemming and hawing, avoiding eye contact, looking guilty, before finally mustering the courage to say to Ningxing, “Bao’er, why don’t we buy it for your Grandma after so ti?”
“Why?” Ningxing asked, puzzled, frowning.
A few hundred dollars for a gold chain, why wait?
“The family is almost out of money…” Mrs. Xia bit her lip and said outright.
Ningxing and her five brothers were stunned, their eyes wide as they asked in unison, “How is that possible!”
Just a few days ago, she had told them they had eighty thousand, and they had even discussed building a house. How could they be out of money so soon?
Even if it was put into a shredder, it wouldn’t go this fast!
Mrs. Xia decided to lay it all out and told them everything, “I… I… I gave it all to your dad.”
“What!?” Ningxing staggered, feeling waves of darkness before her eyes, her teeth chattering in anger, “How could you give all the money to him!”
Ningxing was truly vexed!
Although she could predict many things others couldn’t based on novels she had read before, many details weren’t explicitly written, especially for a minor character like Xia Jianren. If she had known, she would have kept a tighter grip on the money.
She had been too careless!
She had greatly overestimated Scum Daddy’s bottom line!
Mrs. Xia, seeing her nearly collapse in anger, hurried forward to support her, her face apologetic as she coaxed, “Bao’er, don’t be angry, don’t be angry. Your dad is an honorable man. He took the money to open a factory, not to squander it. Plus, your dad said once he makes money, he’ll buy a house in the city and move us all there to enjoy life!”
“How great it would be to live in the city! We’ll be city folks then, living in a room with a kitchen and bathroom, attending the best schools!”
Her eyes glead with happiness and anticipation while she spoke.
Ningxing really wanted to spit blood in her face.
What damn good fortune!
What probably awaited her was a divorce!
She rembered very clearly, in the novel, Xia Jianren’s wife was not Lin Lan but a woman nad ii. As for them, they never even appeared in the book.
So evidently, after Xia Jianren rose to success, he abandoned his wife and children and ford a new, sweet life with his lover.
