Old and Ugly Now

Now I dreamed of everything that happened before I was 19. Memories came back to me that I thought were gone.

I realized that the former me was not a pushover, I would never have ended up in this pitiful situation.

I used to be a genius and the pride of the family... but now… As I reflect on the suffering I had to endure, tears of sadness dripped down my face.

Mubai's POV

"The patient is still unconscious but her condition is getting better. She has a small concussion on her head, but a week or two of rest is enough for her to get well again. She will need some supplements because she has been suffering from malnourishment for a long time."

Inside the hospital room, the doctor explained Xinghe's physical condition in detail to me.

I frowned slightly.

How did that happen? I gave her a lot of money after our divorce. It's impossible for her to suffer malnourishment.

I turned my head to look at Xinghe, when I noticed the tears running down my ex-wife's face...

My eyes trembled slightly as various emotions stirred my heart.

Xia Xinghe, what kind of life do you have after our divorce?

Tiaxin's POV

I was standing next to Mubai, also staring at Xinghe.

The woman who once owned Mubai, but I cast her out from her throne, I was really overjoyed. My heart cried out with joy when I saw Xinghe's miserable condition.

Xia Xinghe, you lost to me once ... you're even more miserable now that you're an ugly old woman. I'm almost sick of how ugly you look. I'm sure you'll just rot like the garbage that stinks on the road.

I couldn't win with your appearance back then, but now...

I'm in a good mood now that I know how deep Xinghe, my former rival, has fallen.

I patted Mubai and said softly, "Mubai, don't worry. I'm sure Xinghe will be fine. How about we find her a personal nurse or maybe just give her some money. I'm sure that's what she needs most right now."

Mubai looked at me and nodded slightly.

"Mubai, we're a little late. We're going to have a family dinner tonight to talk about our upcoming wedding. Shouldn't we go?" I asked sweetly but slyly.

Mubai's POV

Right, I just remember it now.

Since Xinghe and I separated, I haven't looked for a new wife, but since I'm the only man and heir of the Xi Family, I have to get married for the Xi Family to continue.

Tianxin is my childhood friend. The whole family loves Tianxin, her beauty and talent are enough for the family to like her. In other words, after Xinghe and I divorced, the two families tried to match the two of us.

I treat Tianxin warmly, but I don't love her. And one more thing, no woman has ever made me love them.

Even my marriage with Xinghe was not because of love, it was just an arranged marriage.

For me, as long as my wife is biologically female, it's okay for anyone to take the post.

I lost even more interest after my failed marriage with Xinghe. I shrugged my shoulders and carelessly agreed when my family came up with the idea of marrying Tianxin. And tonight, there was a family dinner between the two families to discuss our wedding.

In fact, this morning, we were looking for a restaurant to host our wedding, and shopping for clothes…

Who would have thought we would meet Xia Xinghe.

My ex-wife I haven't seen in three years.

Honestly, I once thought in what situation would we meet again, but this event was beyond my expectation, I didn't think this would happen to her.

She's the young mistress of the Xia Family, isn't she? How did she end up in such a pitiful state?
