Indeed, Xia Xiao had no idea that Xia Yong could be so foolish, but she still wanted to see how things would unfold.
Li Jin reported back, and Boss Wang’s and Lin Xiang’s information had also been laid out before Gao Jiaxing and Xia Xiao, thoroughly investigated.
It’s just that Lin Xiang wasn’t lucky with people, having been defrauded by her boyfriend, but fortunately, she had run into Xia Yong.
At the nightclub, all these women wore makeup. Once they washed their faces, it wouldn’t be easy for others to recognize them.
Lin Xiang indeed intended to marry Xia Yong, but other than his obedience to her, he had no money or capabilities, and also lacked the financial resources to fulfill Lin Xiang’s material desires.
Moreover, the old Xia Family house was Xia Yong’s, gifted by his parents, but even if Lin Xiang married into the family, she wouldn’t have a share in the house.
Although Lin Xiang did hope for a land requisition, at her family’s side, there had been talks for years with no action taken, and she was running out of patience.
She wished for a more glamorous wedding, but Xia Yong couldn’t provide that, and with the Xia Family still living in an old house, Lin Xiang felt it would be disgraceful for her to marry him, concerned that her colleagues and close girlfriends would look down on her.
Now working as a salesgirl at Boss Wang’s real estate company, Boss Wang had just developed a new property, and Lin Xiang had eyes on this new housing project. Her plan was to sell the Xia Family’s old house and buy a new one.
Being new, she had average sales achievements, and after being sabotaged by a flamboyant female colleague, all of Lin Xiang’s clients were snatched away, leaving her frustrated. Although she could hustle, she lacked work experience and had heard that the company’s top saleswoman, who had stolen her clients, was involved with the chairman.
Lin Xiang watched this flamboyant colleague driving her flashy BMW, decked in designer clothes and bags, and heard she even had a mansion—this fuelled Lin Xiang’s jealousy.
So, the moment she saw Boss Wang, Lin Xiang naturally gravitated toward him, and with the chairman being single, this alone made her covet what he could offer.
At this point, Lin Xiang had completely pushed Xia Yong to the back of her mind. Although marrying an honest man had its benefits, such men lacked capability. Faced with a better option, Lin Xiang couldn’t see herself settling for Xia Yong.
Not to mention that the old Xia Family apartment could now be swapped for two eighty-square-meter three-bedroom flats—this made it too easy for her to secure a duplex.
Lin Xiang therefore became even more motivated. Whenever Xia Yong looked for her, she brushed him off with various excuses.
But doing so was contingent on pleasing Boss Wang, as those who offended him did not end up well.
Gao Jiaxing’s fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop. A cancer like Boss Wang naturally needed to be eliminated.
Yet having taken root here for so many years, Boss Wang must have involved many people.
To move against Boss Wang, it was necessary to clarify these connections, although Boss Wang had not offended Gao Jiaxing.
"This city is under Li Yu’s jurisdiction, right?" Gao Jiaxing said.
Xia Xiao thought for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, I seem to recall Ning Hui mentioning last year that she was transferred here."
"Then we’ll speak to Li Yu’s side," Gao Jiaxing said.
Gao Jiaxing and Xia Xiao continued to stay there, as Xia Xiao wanted to know what would become of the Xia Family’s house and how Lin Xiang would eventually handle it.
On Xia Yong’s end, he brought back no proof, driving Old Xia and He Fang nearly insane. And when Xia Yong said he’d exchanged the old house for two new apartments, one for his parents and one for him and Lin Xiang, it only made Old Xia and He Fang realize the true value of their old home even more.
Furthermore, Xia Yong handed everything over to Lin Xiang. How could Old Xia and He Fang feel secure? So, when Xia Yong didn’t go to find Lin Xiang, Old Xia and He Fang went to seek her out themselves.
At the real estate company, Lin Xiang was absent, and her female colleague, upon hearing she had visitors, looked shifty and took it upon herself to greet Old Xia and He Fang.
"Fiancée, pregnant?" The moment Lin Xiang’s colleague heard these two keywords, her mood became agitated.
Heaven knows that once Lin Xiang became the favorite of Boss Wang, this colleague lost favor. Coupled with Lin Xiang’s sabotaging, she truly loathed Lin Xiang to the core.
"Lin Xiang? Your son’s fiancée and she’s pregnant? That’s impossible. Lin Xiang is clearly our boss’s... ah," the colleague hesitated, then stopped as if careful of something, and refused to speak further.
