Chapter 69: The Past

When Xia Wanwan left Lawyer Zhan's office, her mood was completely different from when she came.

Under the scorching sun, Xia Wanwan drove to Xishan Cemetery.

The scorching sun scorched the earth, and people seemed to be locked in a huge steamer, oppressive and dull.

Xia Wanwan stood in front of Xia Jing's tombstone sweating, without saying a word, but her mood was difficult to calm down.

On the tombstone is a photo of Xia Jing when she was young, and Xia Jing is smiling in the photo, like a gorgeous petal in spring, beautiful and fragile.

She clenched her fists as she thought back to what had happened over the years.

She has the same surname as her mother, and her father, Ling Tian, the chairman of Qingfeng Group, is the son-in-law of the family.

The original name of Qingfeng Group was the Xia Group, which was founded by her grandfather, but her grandfather Xia Lao Ye only had her mother Xia Jing's only daughter, and her biological father Ling Tian was a college classmate of her mother Xia Jing, and he was also the school grass of their school back then.

The two fell in love in college, although Ling Tian was good-looking and talented, but at first her grandfather didn't approve of it, because Ling Tian was an out-and-out phoenix man, and he was quite ambitious, and Old Man Xia was afraid that Xia Jing wouldn't be able to control him after he left.

But Xia Jing has been pampered since she was a child, and her stubborn personality has to be with Ling Tian, and Old Man Xia has no choice but to rely on Xia Jing.

After Xia Jing and Ling Tian got married, they still spent a period of sweetness, and she was born soon, but Xia Jing's health was not good, and she couldn't get pregnant again for a long time after giving birth to her.

Her grandfather died when she was six years old, leaving her and her mother a large inheritance, and the share she gave her was held in trust by a lawyer, which she could not inherit until she grew up and married.

After her grandfather's death, the Xia Group became the Qingfeng Group, and the inheritance in her mother's hand was also deceived by Ling Tian little by little, and Ling Tian's attitude towards their mother and daughter was not as good as day by day.

When she was ten years old, Ling Tian's junior, who is now Mrs. Ling, Huang Yunlian, came to the palace with two children, Xia Jing was deeply stimulated and fell down the stairs, and Xia Jing's long-awaited second child died in this way.

Since then, Xia Jing has been lingering on the sickbed, at this time Huang Yunlian has already lived in the house with her children, Xia Jing did not survive that winter, and left her in this world with resentment and unwillingness.

With a stepmother, she has a stepfather, and from then on she is like a marginal person in the Ling family, she lives carefully every day, but fortunately, she still has a marriage contract with the Rong family, which was set by her grandfather and the old man in the second room of the Rong family, because of this reason, the Ling family did not dare to treat her too harshly.

She knew that the Ling family was unreliable since she was a child, so she redoubled her efforts to learn all aspects of knowledge, and she had to hide in front of the Ling family, and finally reached the age of twenty.

However, when she was about to fulfill her marriage contract with Rong Junyan at the age of twenty, she was designed to lose herself.

Her loss was known to her fiancé Rong Junyan, who asked to dissolve the marriage contract with her, and the marriage contract that originally belonged to her was operated by Ling Tian and them to Ling Tian's illegitimate daughter Ling Menghan, who was only a few months younger than her in marriage.

She couldn't stay in China anymore, so she went to country F to join one of her cousins.

As soon as she settled abroad, she found out that she was pregnant, and when she went to the hospital for a check-up, it was still a rare multiple birth.

Xia Wanwan gave birth to the children, and then devoted herself to her career and studies.

Although she went to the cousin, the cousin also studied art, and she often disappeared, so she was unreliable.

So now when she thinks back to that year, she will think about what kind of strength she survived back then, at that time she didn't shed tears no matter how hard and tired she was, and today, this is the second time she has cried.

Xia Wanwan wiped the tears that had fallen on her face, took a deep breath, and turned to leave.

On the way down, Stephen called.

"Wanwan, tomorrow is the weekend, I wonder if I will have the honor to invite you to dinner?" Stephen's words were full of excitement and anticipation.

"I should have asked you this, this meal should have been invited by me. Xia Wanwan said with a smile.

Stephen helped her introduce Master Meng, and helped her so much, not to mention how to repay, but at least she still had to invite someone to dinner.

"In that case, I'll decide the time and place for the meal, and I'll send you a message later. Stephen had a big smile on his face.

This scene fell in the eyes of Old Man Fu on the side, and he couldn't help but tease: "Which young lady can make our Pei Yi smile like this?"

"It's the girl I've always had a crush on. Stephen graciously admitted.

"Crush? We Pei Yi actually have a crush on a girl, shouldn't there be a lot of girls who have a crush on you?" asked Old Man Fu with some surprise.

His grandson is a mixed-race child, handsome, talented, graduated from a top international university with a master's degree in law at a young age, and the girl who wants to chase him must be able to line up a few streets, so he didn't expect that he was still secretly in love with a girl.

"Tell grandpa, what kind of girl is that?" Old Man Fu was very interested in the girl that Stephen said he had a crush on, and the girl who could make him have a crush on his grandson must also be an excellent person.

"She is a beautiful, generous, kind and strong girl, she has a character that never admits defeat, as if no matter how difficult it is, no matter how much pressure she can bear by herself. Stephen said that Xia Wanwan's eyes lit up, Xia Wanwan was as perfect as a goddess in his heart, and there were few people in this world who could compare with her.

"Then it seems that she is indeed an excellent girl, so when are you going to bring it back to your grandfather?" asked Old Man Fu tentatively.

"This ...... After I have her permission, I will bring her back to introduce her to my grandfather. Stephen said again.

In the past, he had been hesitant to take a step forward, until this time when she returned to China he figured it out, he wanted to be with her, no matter what was between them, he wanted to be with her.

"It seems that Pei Yi really likes this girl, by the way, I have already told your uncle that you will go to work in the company's legal department next Monday. Old Man Fu changed the topic and said to Stephen.

"Good. Stephen nodded.

The other descendants of the Fu family on the side were faintly unhappy, but they still felt much better when they just let Stephen enter the legal department instead of the management.

However, as far as Stephen is a stupid white sweet love brain, they feel that even if they enter the management, they can't achieve anything, and if the woman he likes is just an ordinary person with no family background, it will not pose any threat to them.
