Boss Wang, the real estate company owner with an arcade and a cinema, wasn’t that the exact man her mother had mentioned in a previous life?
Xia Xiao couldn’t help but widen her eyes with surprise. Gao Jiaxing asked, "What’s wrong?"
Xia Xiao quickly masked her emotions, slowly shaking her head, murmuring softly, "That man gives off the vibes of the underworld."
Gao Jiaxing nodded in agreement. It was clear-cut, black and white. Moreover, looking at Boss Wang and the men in black behind him, each wearing sunglasses, they all seemed like underworld figures straight out of a movie.
Xia Xiao frowned. Why would the owner of a real estate company take an interest in the old Xia Family house?
A thought flashed through Xia Xiao’s mind, and she instantly understood; Boss Wang must have his eyes on this place and wanted to buy it.
And Xia Yong was willing to sell the house, which of course, was more than ideal.
"The house isn’t yours to worry about. I only deal with the person on the property deed," Boss Wang said with a grunt, and his men blocked Old Xia and He Fang from approaching.
In broad daylight, even though Boss Wang didn’t do anything wrong per se, the display was still quite ostentatious.
Xia Yong left with Boss Wang just like that. He Fang cried helplessly behind him, Old Xia was so angry he stomped his feet, then he clutched his chest and crouched down, obviously infuriated to the extreme.
After everyone had dispersed, Xia Xiao approached Old Xia and He Fang and asked, "Your son has obviously been spoiled by you. Do you regret not raising him properly?"
Old Xia and He Fang looked up at Xia Xiao and fell silent, then He Fang lashed out at Xia Xiao, "What’s it to you? My son is naturally the best in the world."
Heh, Xia Xiao let out a cold laugh.
She wasn’t trying to compete with Xia Yong, she just wanted to know if Old Xia and He Fang had any regrets about their way of raising him.
And having just seen Boss Wang, Xia Xiao felt a chill. She thought if she had not died in her previous life and had caught the attention of Boss Wang, would she have been able to escape him?
Xia Xiao didn’t bother with Old Xia and He Fang any longer and said to Gao Jiaxing, "Let’s go."
Gao Jiaxing grunted in agreement, his gaze coldly sweeping over Old Xia and He Fang as he left with Xia Xiao.
Once they were a good distance away, Xia Xiao said to Gao Jiaxing, "Look into this Boss Wang."
"Should we follow them?" Gao Jiaxing suggested.
So Xia Xiao and Gao Jiaxing followed in the direction of Boss Wang and Xia Yong.
Boss Wang and Xia Yong sat down in a restaurant beside a new apartment complex. Gao Jiaxing and Xia Xiao also found a seat, not too far and not too close to Boss Wang and Xia Yong.
Xia Yong wore a sycophantic smile, treating Boss Wang with the utmost respect. Before long, a woman wearing a pink blouse and a black pencil skirt walked in.
Xia Xiao recognized her future sister-in-law from her past life – true, she was quite attractive and had a very good figure; no wonder Xia Yong was so attentive.
As soon as Xiang entered, Xia Yong waved her over, but her eyes lit up at the sight of Boss Wang, and she hurried over, exclaiming with a smile, "Chairman, I am Xiao Lin from the sales department. I didn’t expect to see the Chairman here..."
"Xiang, you know the Chairman too?" A smile spread across Xia Yong’s face.
"Yes, this is our Chairman," Lin Xiang replied with delight, then turned to Xia Yong and said, "So you know our Chairman as well."
"You were the one who advised me to sell the family house and buy a new one from the apartment complex, right? Now it’s Boss Wang who wants to buy it."
After Xia Yong said this, Boss Wang already started smiling pleasantly, "That’s good, it seems you are acquaintances. In that case, sell your family’s house to me, and I’ll give you two three-bedroom, one-living room apartments in return."
One for two, and trading old for new, sounded like a good deal. But Xia Yong turned to Lin Xiang, saying, "But there’s the matter of the 200,000 dowry."
Boss Wang just happened upon Xia Yong arguing with his parents about selling the house. Originally planning to leave, he became interested upon hearing about the sale, especially since it was a property in an area he had his eye on.
"What 200,000 dowry? Do I look like that sort of person?" Xiang gave Xia Yong a reproachful look and then poured tea for Boss Wang herself, acting flauntingly cheerful as she leaned forward, showing off the low neckline of her blouse, making a coy plea,
"I’m so happy to see the Chairman today. Although I’m new to the company, I have a strong sense of belonging to it. And the Chairman is a great boss; all of us employees like the Chairman very much. I must take this opportunity to express my profound admiration and gratitude for the Chairman."
As she spoke, Lin Xiang had a bottle of white wine brought over, all the while casting flirtatious glances at Boss Wang, completely sidelining Xia Yong, and this behavior was clearly more than that of a normal employee toward a boss.
Xia Yong hadn’t caught on yet and was gleefully agreeing with Lin Xiang’s words, "Of course, of course."
Idiot, Xia Xiao was speechless towards Xia Yong; couldn’t he see that Lin Xiang had set her sights on Boss Wang?
Under Lin Xiang’s persuasion, Boss Wang exchanged two unfinished apartments for the Xia Family’s house. Xia Yong readily handed over the property title and documents to Boss Wang, leaving the rest of the affairs to Lin Xiang.
Xia Yong left empty-handed and beaming, not realizing that Boss Wang and Lin Xiang had played him for a fool.
After Xia Yong had left, Boss Wang and Lin Xiang left together. As for what they planned to do, only they knew.
"Why keep an eye on them?" Gao Jiaxing was puzzled.
"Just curious," replied Xia Xiao.
Immediately, Gao Jiaxing instructed the bodyguard team leader, Li Long, to investigate, then said to Xia Xiao, "That man is foolish. His girlfriend is clearly up to no good. Plus, he’s handed over all the property documents and signed everything without keeping any proof for himself; he’s left it with his girlfriend. He’s definitely going to suffer for it."
