Xu Hao's face expression implied anger. He said: “Xingcheng, you betrayed me before, but I let it go. All these years, it is Xingyan who has been standing by my side. So stop hurting her, otherwise you will be sorry.”

“So today you wanna make things even for her?”

Xia Xingcheng sneered, eyes full of mockery.

Xu Hao looked at the mocking and indifferent expression on Xia Xingcheng's face, feeling like she had grown increasingly unfamiliar.

Xia Xingcheng was never like this in his memory. Xu Hao felt an acute heartache suddenly; he closed his eyes feeling helpless.

He had to remind himself that this woman cheated on him, and she was not the same person anymore.

“Xingcheng, I don't know why you turned into this. But Xingyan is a good woman. When you were abroad, she talked about you in front of your father all the time. Your father allowed you to come home this time, all because of Xingyan. Did you know that?”

As he was saying this, a glimpse of aversion appeared in Xu Hao’s eyes. “You cheated on me and slept with another man. It was Xingyan who tried to cover it up for you. Did you know how I get through those days? It was Xinyang who was by my side all the time.”

Hearing this, Xia Xingcheng found it ironic. It was Xia Xingyan who planted the cheating incident all along. And now she was blaming it all on Xia Xingcheng. How conniving!

Only a fool like Xu Hao would believe her. Thinking of this, Xia Xingcheng looked at Xu Hao with sympathy: “Have you finished? If you are, then piss off. You're not welcomed here.”

Xia Xingcheng thought there was no need to explain herself any more. Talking about the past would do her no good. She walked past him and went straight to the door.

But her apathy infuriated Xu Hao. He blocked her way coldly. He looked down at her and said: “Xia Xingcheng, I thought you had changed after all those years abroad. I didn't expect you to remain the same selfish and never consider other people. ”

“What did I see in you at the beginning? I’d must be blind.”

His words was like a fuse. The tension between them was gonna explode.

Xia Xingcheng lost all her patience and snorted in contempt: “You are still the same, still the brainwashed idiot I see. Piss off. You are polluting my air here.”

After saying this, Xia Xingcheng ignored Xu Hao and took Bao to enter the door.

Xu Hao blocked the door angrily, stopped her from entering: “Xia Xingcheng, you were the slut who did that disgusting thing. You cheated on me first. How come you're the one acting like a victim instead? You are really a bitch.”

Seeing her face change color, Xu Hao felt a great pleasure of revenge; he went on saying: “Unfortunate Xingyan, she always thought about you and introduced you to other men. Otherwise, you, a divorcee with a son, who would ever want you?”

“Get out! Get out!”

Xia Xingcheng became furious instantly, her eyes becoming bloody red. She forcibly pushed Xu Hao away from the door and slammed the door.

She was afraid if she continued to listen to what Xu Hao had to say, she would break. After all, there was a time she loved that man deeply.

Outside the door, Xu Hao was still not letting this go: “Xia Xingcheng, I suggest you take the deal. Otherwise, your family will force you to. And you would not enjoy that!”

“F**k off!” Xia Xingcheng screamed.

After a while, maybe Xu Hao was gone, finally there was silence. Xia Xingcheng leaned against the door with great sorrow on her face.

Her original good mood was destroyed by Xu Hao completely. She knew her family would not let her go easily. So she had to come up with a solution. At least she had to prevent Bao being taken away and used as a threat to her.

Bao couldn’t help saying it when he saw his mother looking so worried. “Mommy, daddy is powerful. Why don't you let daddy protect us. Let daddy protect us please. Mommy, I'm sure daddy will protect us.”

Bao lay beside Xia Xingcheng and repeated it several times to her ears, making Xia Xingcheng pull back her thoughts.

Sheng Yeting’s condescending face popped out in her mind. ‘Indeed, he could protect us, but… He is a great catch, it's impossible that he would accept a divorcee with a child.’

Xia Xingcheng laughed at herself inside. She couldn't help pulling Bao to her and explained patiently: “Bao. Stop being naughty. He is not your daddy. So we can't depend on him for everything from now on.”

Bao nodded his head still did not fully understand; he looked at his mother with his big eyes, looking hesitantly as if he got something to say.

‘Indeed he was my father.’ Bao could feel it. Why won't mommy believe him?

Xia Xingcheng had no way of knowing what Bao was thinking. After seeing Bao nod, she was relieved. Then she took Bao to shower.

Bao seemed to have something on his mind today, and he was obedient and silent. He showered quickly and left the bathroom. Xia Xingcheng had a long day. She was gonna go to bed with Bao after shower.

But Bao couldn't fall asleep lying on the bed alone. He was still scared of earlier Xu Hao making trouble here at their home.

He couldn't help taking out his mother's phone and secretly called Sheng Yeting.

Sheng Yeting just got home also. Before he could take off his suit, he heard his mother and father nagging in the living room.

“Yeting’s marriage is the top priority now...” His mother saw Sheng Yeting coming in as she was saying that, she hurriedly beckoned her son to come to her. “I was just talking to your father. Your grandpa and grandma selected some socialites for you to meet this weekend. I expect you to make the time.”

Sheng Yeting was unbuttoning his suit, when his hands stopped for a minute. He couldn't help but sigh but stayed silent.

He was used to this kind of advisement from Qin Pei. Growing up he respected his mother. Every time his mother brought up this topic, he would make up some excuse to get out of it.

But clearly he was not in a happy mood today. “I'm very busy these days, maybe another time.”

To be arranged to meet all kinds of women, he was fed up with that.

An idea popped into his head suddenly. ‘A marriage is just a marriage. Whomever I marry makes no difference. So I could just marry anyone.’

As he was thinking that, the image of Xia Xingcheng popped out in his head…

Just as his mother was about to nag him some more, Sheng Yeting’s phone rang.

Seeing the caller’s number, Sheng Yeting frowned unconsciously. She called while he was just thinking about her, what a coincidence!

Seeing it was Xia Xingcheng, Sheng Yeting did not want to pick it up. He didn't know why, but somehow he answered the call.
