They werenât used to entertaining guests so his interest was piqued.
He opened the door to find a young man in a sharp business suit.
âExcuse me, does Miss Xia Xinghe live here?â the man asked politely.
Xia Zhi nodded, âShe does but who are you, why are you looking for my sister?â
The man smiled, âIâm Mr. Xi Mubaiâs personal assistant, my name is Chang An. CEO Xi wants me to send something over to Miss Xia. May I know if sheâs home?â
The moment Chang An revealed he worked for the Xi Family, Xia Zhiâs expression dimmed.
However, his good manners still compelled him to say, âMy sister is not feeling so well at the moment, but please come in.â
âThank you.â
The horrible sound proofing of their apartmentâs walls and the apartmentâs cramped overall space meant that Xinghe could hear their exchange even though she was inside her bedroom.
Their apartment only had two rooms and one living area. The living area was barely big enough to fit the little furniture they had.
Xia Zhi led Chang An into Xingheâs bedroom where a sickly Xinghe laid slumped against her bedâs headboard.
Chang Anâs measured expression slipped for a moment to reveal his shock.
He couldnât believe the fragile looking woman in the room was the same woman he once served as his bossâ wife and the young masterâs motherâŠ
His temporary shock was quickly covered up by his good training, and he deferentially presented a cheque to Xinghe.
âNice to meet you again, Miss Xia. CEO Xi wants me to present this to you. He said this originally belongs to you so please accept it.â
Even before Xinghe laid her eyes on it, she knew it was a cheque for one hundred million RMB.
She guessed correctly that Mubai had just found out the alimony cheque given to her three years ago was rejected.
She rejected it three years ago and she was going to reject it again.
âTell your boss Iâm thankful but I canât accept this. He doesnât owe me anything so I wonât take this from him,â Xinghe said nonchalantly.
Chang An was surprised. Confused, he added, âMiss Xia, arenât you going to check how much money is on it first?â
âItâs one hundred million, right?â
âYesâŠâ Chang Anâs shock only deepened. Since she knew how much money was on it, why would she reject it outright?
Xinghe noticed his confusion so she answered, âI didnât take the money three years ago and the thought to claim it hadnât even crossed my mind, so I wonât accept it now. Go back and tell Mubai the only thing he owes me is to give our son a good life.â
âButâŠâ
âXia Zhi, please help me show Mr. Chang out. Iâm tired.â
âMr. Chang, you heard my sister. We wonât accept your money,â Xia Zhi echoed as he moved to lead Chang An out.
Before Chang An left their home, he tried to persuade Xia Zhi to accept the cheque on his sisterâs behalf but his offer was firmly rejected.
Staring at the closed wooden door, Chang An couldnât help but be intrigued by this family.
It was obvious that they were in need of money so why wouldnât they just accept his offer?
It was one hundred million RMB! Is it possible that their integrity couldnât be bought or they felt the amount offered was too little?
Chang An couldnât figure out an answer.

He rushed back to the company and reported everything to Mubai.
Mubai was not surprised by Xingheâs response. He added, âThatâs all she said?â
âYes. Miss Xia said she wonât accept anything and her only request is that CEO Xi takes good care of the young master.â
Mubai chuckled, âLin Lin is my son, I will take good care of him without her telling me to. Since she doesnât want the cheque, then leave it be.â
âAlright, CEO Xi. If thereâs nothing else, I shall take my leave now.â Just as Chang An turned to leave his office, Mubai suddenly said, âWaitâŠâ
