Chu Tianxin smiled. "That's good. Mubai, it's getting late. You should rest early. "
"Okay, I'll hang up then."
"Okay, good night." Chu Tianxin ended the call gently.
Xi Mubai put away his phone, parked his car by the side of the road and lit a cigarette.
Looking at the cars coming and going in the night, he felt a little amused.
Xia Xinghe was gone, so why did he have to look for her personally?
Besides, she was an adult, so nothing should have happened to her.
Xi Mubai decided to go home, but he still arranged for someone to look for Xia Xinghe and find out more about her situation.
He wanted to see how this woman ended up in such a poor state with such a huge amount of alimony.
Early the next morning, Xi Mubai received a message from Xia Xinghe for the past three years.
She had been living with her uncle after her divorce.
He knew that her uncle had a son, and the three of them had been depending on each other. Coupled with Xia Chengwu's poor health, their lives had become poorer and poorer.
Xia Xinghe had done many jobs to earn money.
Cleaner, dishwasher, waitress … She had done everything that could be exchanged for a salary.
However, because of her quiet personality, she was bullied and then ostracized, which led to her not being able to hold on to any job for long.
Over the past three years, the hard life had made her older and more haggard.
However, at the age of 25, she looked like a 35-year-old woman.
Thinking of how Xia Xinghe looked the day before, Xi Mubai had to admit that he was indeed shocked.
He had not expected that in just three years, she had changed so much that he could barely recognize her.
If it had not been for the coincidence yesterday, he would not have known that she had suffered so much …
However, he did not understand. Didn't she get alimony?
Even if she had squandered it, she should not have used it all up in one night.
Xi Mubai's face darkened. It seemed that there must be something he did not know …
…
When Xi Mubai went downstairs, his family was up and having breakfast.
Xiaolin had slept too early yesterday, so he was the first to wake up. He had already eaten when Xi Mubai sat down.
"Take the young master to school," Xi Mubai ordered a servant.
"Yes." The servant nodded and left with Xiaolin.
Mother Xi held a bone porcelain spoon and drank the coix rice porridge. She asked him doubtfully, "Why did you suddenly leave yesterday? You, the main character, have already left, leaving me and your dad in the hotel. How embarrassing. "
"Didn't I say that Xiao Lin isn't feeling well? Mom … "Xi Mubai looked at her and hesitated.
Mother Xi smiled and asked, "What's wrong? What do you want to say? "
Xi Mubai asked indifferently, "Did Xia Xinghe accept the alimony back then?"
Mother Xi's hand that was holding the spoon paused. Her expression was a little ugly …
From her reaction, Xi Mubai knew that Xia Xinghe had not received any alimony.
"Why didn't you tell me that you didn't pay her alimony?" He had thought that Xia Xinghe had been living well all these years.
After that, he had no qualms about paying attention to her situation.
If not for the chance encounter yesterday, he would still be in the dark.
Mother Xi's face turned cold. She said lightly, "It's not that I don't want to give it to her. It's that she doesn't want it."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"Why should I tell you? You've already divorced her. I don't want to see you two having any entanglements. It's none of our business if she doesn't want it. "
