The Young Master's Escaping Bride Who Lost Memories

Chapter 1063: Chapter 1082: What Happened Last Night

Since Young Master has already intervened, he won’t end it so easily.

So, we must be prepared before that contract comes into effect.”

”Dad, do we really have to do this? If you do this... won’t our family... be homeless again?” Xia Xinmei exclaimed in shock.

They had just reunited as a family and enjoyed a few days of good life, and now such a thing has occurred.

”If it were truly so, that would already be the best outcome.” Xia Zhennan said with a worried expression.

Xia Xinmei was stunned.

”Dad, what do you mean? Right... you also mentioned prison earlier. Could it be...” Xia Xinmei thought of something and couldn’t help but grab Xia Zhennan’s arm, eyes wide as she asked, ”Could Mrs. Xia’s death really be related to you?”

Xia Zhennan didn’t speak. Instead, he turned to walk to his desk, supporting himself with one hand on the table.

She discovered the affair between your mother and me and also knew about your identity.

If I didn’t act, she would have told Xiaonuan and the Crown Prince about it... Do you think Xiaonuan and the Crown Prince would spare your mother and me if they knew about this?

Xia Xinmei was utterly dumbfounded.

She stumbled back several steps.

”No wonder... Young Master must have suspected something, otherwise... he wouldn’t have investigated this matter thoroughly...”

Xia Zhennan sighed, turned back, and said, ”Xin’er, everything I did was for you and your mother. Now, we must unite as a family to find a way out!”

Xia Xinmei’s lips curled into a cold smile.

”Yes... now, we can only give it one last try. Because... Dad, you’ve blocked our family’s path completely! Why were you so impatient? Grandpa had just died, and you couldn’t wait...”

”Xin’er, wasn’t I doing this for you and your mother? How can you say that to your father?” Xia Zhennan retorted angrily.

”Dad, even if you were in a hurry to take over the company, you should have ensured everything was in place first! Now, look at what you’ve done? You haven’t secured the contract, nor have you taken over the company, yet you’ve managed to get someone killed first! Right...” Xia Xinmei pondered, ”How did she find out about your affair with my mother?”

”That day... the day of your grandfather’s funeral... when I was with your mother, she returned and found out...”

Xia Xinmei slapped her forehead with her hand.

How could these two, at their age, still be so passionate?

”Alright, I understand.” Xia Xinmei shook her head and turned to walk out.

”Xin’er, where are you going?”

”To clean up your mess!” Xia Xinmei said through gritted teeth.

Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains onto a large bed.

The man lying on the bed turned over and slowly opened his eyes.

However, when he saw the woman in front of him, his expression changed.

He suddenly sat up on the bed, threw off the sheets, and looked at his own body.

Nangong Zhongli opened her eyes, reached out, and wrapped her arm around Liang Shaochen’s.

”Shaochen, you’re awake...” She nuzzled her head against his neck, and as she bent over, the blanket slipped down, revealing the alluring skin of her chest, faintly visible.

Liang Shaochen abruptly pulled his hand back.

He averted his gaze, looking at her incredulously, ”What are you doing here?” he asked, somewhat angrily.

Nangong Zhongli was pained by his gaze but showed a hint of grievance and said, ”Shaochen, have you forgotten? You got drunk last night and insisted on holding onto me, not letting me leave.”
