Standing in front of the sprawling villa, Xia Zhi was slightly at awe . Chengwu, though, was beside himself with shock because he knew this villa, wasn't this the Xia Family's old home?
Why did Xinghe bring them here?
Did she take a wrong turn somewhere?
Noticing their expressions, Xinghe explained the situation, "Uncle, this villa has always been mine . Now that I've recovered my memory, naturally, I took it back . "
"Wu Rong was willing to let you have it?" That was the bigger surprise for Chengwu .
"The ownership certificate has my name on it so she had to even though she didn't want to . I've chased her out . So, from today onwards, this shall be our home . Come on, let's go in," Xinghe explained .
Xinghe pushed open the front door and walked in .
Chengwu leant on Xia Zhi for support and the father-son pair shuffled into the villa stiffly . They still needed some time to process the bomb Xinghe just dropped . Advertisement
Xinghe managed to chase Wu Rong away and this villa is to be our home from now on?
Am I dreaming?
They felt absolutely out of place standing in the lavishly decorated living room . They felt like they were visiting someone else's house .
Xia Zhi's mouth opened in shock as he took in everything . He asked hesitantly, "Sis, you said everything here is yours?"
Xinghe replied in a serious tone, "No, everything here, including the house is ours, not mine . We can live here for the rest of our lives . "
Xia Zhi was touched . He felt tears pricking his eyes .
Chengwu too felt warmed but he was more realistic, he started to worry .
"Xinghe, you've chased Wu Rong away, I worry she won't let it go that easily . "
Xia Zhi replied instantly, "If she comes to cause trouble, I'll personally chase her away!"
He had a lot of grievances against that old woman . If she hadn't forcefully claimed everything that was originally theirs, they wouldn't have suffered for so many years .
Just chasing her away would be letting her go lightly .
Xinghe replied with a slight smile, "Don't worry, I'll reclaim everything that is ours sooner or later . "
"Sis, remember to bring me along, I want to be there to see it personally!" Xia Zhi said excitedly . Inexplicably, he truly believed what Xinghe said, believed she could help them reclaim everything .
"You have my word," Xinghe promised . Then, she changed the topic, "Uncle, you're still a recovering patient so please retire to your room and rest . I've settled you downstairs temporarily to save you the trouble of climbing . "
"Everything's settled?" a surprised Chengwu asked .
Xinghe took his hand and guided him to his room, adding with a nod, "Yes, I've asked for help to come clean up the place, our luggage is already here as well . "
"Thank you…" Chengwu nodded gratifyingly, emotions rendering him speechless .
Chengwu's room was well-lit and well-furnished .
Xinghe settled him on the soft mattress . He looked around the spacious room and a bouquet of emotions once again swept his heart .
Ever since their fall from grace, they hadn't had the chance to sleep in such a luxurious room anymore .
Now that they were back at their family's old home, he felt joy intermingling with melancholy .
Melancholy because they truly had suffered a lot under the dictates of fate, and joy because fate had finally decided to allow them to turn their lives around .
Both Xia Zhi and Xinghe accompanied him in his room to reminisce and chat . They left when his eyelids started drooping .
Xia Zhi took the chance to carefully tour the villa . He was the place's constant visitor when he was young, but he really didn't expect he would be living there one day .
He sighed with emotion .
"Sis, I thought we will never be able to leave that dirty apartment in our lives but now, we're living in a villa . Tell me I'm dreaming…"
