Assistant

Xing Xing shook her head at Grandpa Chen. "My parents were very poor back then, and our condition got worse after my father died in a work accident. Since then, my mother has worked hard to pay for my school, so I don't want to disappoint her, and that kind of thing would disturb my school. Moreover, Tang Xiao liked another girl at that time, and she was one of the prettiest girls in our school, so I didn't have the confidence to be close to him."

"I remember you telling me about that girl a long time ago, and her name was Jessica, right?"

"Yes." Xing Xing nodded to Grandpa Chen. "Even though they were never lovers, their relationship was so good and close, and they always spent their time together. However, I never imagined that Jessica would betray her good relationship with Tang Xiao, and she was one of the women who framed him seven years ago."

Grandpa Chen released a heavy sigh after hearing that, especially since Xing Xing clearly cared so much about Tang Xiao, and she was deeply saddened after she heard the news of his death. "What are your plans for the future? Are you going to continue like this?"

"What do you mean by your question, Grandpa Chen?"

Grandpa Chen immediately put down his tools and stood up, and he then grabbed Xing Xing's shoulders. "I've known you since you were little, and I always thought of you as my own granddaughter, so I want to see you happy. Honestly, I hope that Tang Xiao is still alive now, so you can meet him again and pursue your happiness by being with him. Unfortunately, the chance seems very small, and I think you should learn to forget him so you can move on with your life. After all, you are a grown woman now, so it's time for you to think about your future, and you can try to open your heart to accept other men."

"I know that you said it was for my own good, but I don't want to think about a man for now." Xing Xing decisively turned down Grandpa Chen's idea. "Moreover, you know that my mother has been seriously ill for the past two years, and I have to take care of her, so I don't have time to think about romantic matters."

"What did the doctor say after he checked Lingxi's condition yesterday?"

Xing Xing became even more sad because of that. "The doctor said that my mother's condition was getting worse, and she needed more intensive treatment. However, it was very expensive, and my savings wouldn't be enough for that, so I thought about finding a better job to pay for her medical expenses."

"In that case, you can wait here; I will take out my savings, and you can use it to pay for Lingxi's medical expenses.

"No!" Xing Xing exclaimed while grabbing his hand, and she shook her head firmly. "You've helped us too much over the past few years, and I don't want to continue burdening you, so you don't have to do it anymore. Moreover, you're already this old, and your children gave the money to you, so it would be better if you closed this repair shop and enjoyed your old age."

"Hahaha." Instead, Grandpa Chen laughed at that, and he patted Xing Xing's hand as he said. "You are indeed a good girl, and I want you to be my granddaughter, but it's a pity that I don't have a grandson. As for this repair shop, I opened it just to spend my free time, so I'll never close it, or I'll die of boredom."

"You're really stubborn!" Suddenly, Xing Xing's cell phone rang, so she hurriedly picked it up, and she spoke with the caller for some time before informing him. "Grandpa Chen, my friend just came back from another city, so I have to go home now to get ready, and I'll go see her after."

"All right, you can go home now, and you must tell me if you need my help with Lingxi's treatment."

"No! I already said I wouldn't burden you anymore, and I would look for another job to pay for my mother's treatment." After that, Xing Xing hurriedly packed her personal belongings before running out. "Grandpa Chen! I'll help you again tomorrow!"

Grandpa Chen could only sigh while watching Xing Xing leave. "She said that I was stubborn, but she herself was much more stubborn than me."

After Xing Xing left the repair shop, Tang Xiao decided to follow her, especially after he eavesdropped on their conversation. However, he never expected that she liked him so much, and she even knew so much about him.

Jessica was standing under the shower, but her expression was so desperate because of her circumstances, and she couldn't stop crying, remembering Tang Xiao's words. Moreover, she was sure that he had already sent her clone to her husband and son's side, and she couldn't do anything to stop him.

*Knock... Knock...*

"Jessica, my mistress has been waiting for you, so you better hurry up and finish your shower, or she will punish you." Xiao Ai, who had been waiting for her, spoke from outside.

Jessica sighed heavily after hearing that, and she immediately came out after finishing her shower. "Who are you really? And who is your mistress?"

"My name is Xiao Ai." She introduced herself as she handed over a set of office suits to Jessica, who accepted them with a raised eyebrow. "You can wear them, and I will take you to my mistress's place."

After she finished dressing, Xiao Ai led Jessica to leave the prison, but she was shocked when she saw the flying car. 'What kind of place is this actually? How can there be a flying car here? Even though I've never been to a prison before, I know that prisons on earth are not that advanced.'

"Hop on."

Jessica just nodded and followed her onto the flying car, and Xiao Ai took her to go see Tang Yin, but she became more and more shocked after she passed other areas in the ark. 'Unbelievable! Where did Tang Xiao get such a place and technology? Moreover, he's been imprisoned for the past seven years, so it's impossible for him to make all this, and everything in this place is probably several hundred years more advanced than our world.'

Before long, they arrived at the dining area, and Xiao Ai told Jessica to go in alone, especially since Tang Yin gave her another task.

However, Jessica was shocked when she saw the woman sitting at the dining table, and she certainly recognized her. "Tang Yin? Are you the mistress?"

"Sit down and eat with me." Tang Yin said as she pointed to an empty chair at the side.

Jessica nodded and immediately sat there, especially since she herself was quite hungry. However, when she wanted to ask Tang Yin, Yu Xiaoling's appearance in a maid outfit startled her, and she also pushed a food shelf with several dishes on it. "Teacher Yu?"

"She is also our prisoner like you, and you guys will forever be our servants." Even though Jessica had anticipated that, Tang Yin's words still shocked her, and Yu Xiaoling set the dishes on the table without saying anything to them. "You can sit and eat with us, and we'll talk later."

"Yes."

After she sat beside her former student, they then ate together in silence, but Jessica kept glancing at Yu Xiaoling with a look full of questions. 'When did Tang Xiao capture her? How long has she been in this place? Moreover, she was our former teacher, but they actually treated her as a maid.'

Even so, they didn't eat for long, and Yu Xiaoling immediately cleaned the table before leaving them. After that, Tang Yin spoke to Jessica directly. "As you might expect, I am indeed the mistress, and I am Xiao'er's wife."

"What?" Tang Yin's confession completely shocked Jessica, who exclaimed loudly as she stood up from her seat. "Are you kidding me? Are you really in an incestuous relationship with Tang Xiao? Moreover, he is your little brother, so there is no way you can marry him."

"Don't you work in the technology field? Do you think genetic disorders due to incest will be a problem for us?" Tang Yin asked that as she smiled casually. "As you can see, all the technology in this place is far more advanced than our world, and Xiao Ai can even create a clone of you. So that kind of thing is just a trivial matter for us because she can help us give birth to healthy children in the future."

Jessica was speechless enough to refute Tang Yin, especially after everything she saw inside the ark. As someone who works in the technology field, she certainly knew that her words were true. They had a flying car that didn't exist on earth, and they could even clone her perfectly, so she couldn't help but believe that they could also eliminate the genetic disorder resulting from their incestuous relationship.

"So, what do you want from me?" Jessica asked with a heavy sigh, and she no longer hoped that they would release her, especially since she was sure that it would never happen.

Tang Yin smiled at her and threw a white mask in front of Jessica. "You will be my personal assistant, but you don't need to think about running away from me because I can find you very easily."

"Do you want me to wear a mask while I work as your personal assistant?" Jessica asked confusedly as she accepted the mask.

"Try it first."

Jessica nodded and put on the white mask straight away, but her face changed to someone else's face, and Tang Yin handed her a mirror, which shocked her greatly after she saw her reflection.

"It's really amazing! My face turns into someone else just by using this mask." Jessica exclaimed in awe as she rubbed her new face. "Where exactly does all the technology in this place come from?"

"You will figure everything out slowly." Tang Yin then got up and walked out, and she also called Yu Xiaoling to go with them. "Follow me! Anyway, I'll treat you well as long as you understand your position, but vice versa."
