Mr. CEO, Spoil Me All Time novel Chapter 9

Tianxin said with a smile in her voice, "That's good to know. It's late. Mubai, do retire to bed soon."

"Okay."

"Good night," Tianxin concluded warmly.

Mubai kept his phone, stopped his car by the roadside, and lit a cigarette.

As throngs of cars rushed him by, he chuckled to himself.

So what if Xia Xinghe had disappeared, why was it his responsibility to find her?

She was a grown woman, she could find her way home.

Mubai turned his car back home but as a safety measure, ordered some men to investigate Xinghe's present situation. At least that way he would know she was still alive and finally have an idea what had happened to her in the past few years.

He was interested to find out how a woman with such a sizeable amount of alimony could end up in her state.

...

Early the next morning, Mubai received updates on Xinghe for the past 3 years.

After the divorce, she was taken in by her uncle.

Through family connections, he understood her uncle had a son and the three of them had been keeping each other afloat. Their life took a turn for the worse when Xia Chengwu was diagnosed with kidney disease.

To earn money, Xinghe had to take on multiple odd jobs.

Cleaner, dishwasher, waitress She spent her times doing all sorts of menial labor.

However, she was bullied and isolated at every single workplace due to her reticence and reluctance to socialize. This meant that none of her work lasted longer than a month.

Three years of bouncing from one harsh working environment to another had taken a toll on her.

Mubai was still surprised when he thought back to their encounter yesterday. It seemed like she had aged tremendously since their divorce.

He could barely recognize her anymore.
