Xing Xing, who had just returned from shopping with her friend, was shocked as soon as she entered his house, as her mother was busy pacing back and forth.
Hearing her daughter's arrival, Chu Lingxi turned to Xing Xing with a smile, and she pulled her daughter to sit side by side. "Are you surprised to see my condition?"
"Yes." Even though she was shocked by that, Xing Xing also felt relieved to see that her mother, who had been ill for a long time, had fully recovered. Even so, she was also confused about Chu Lingxi's sudden recovery, especially since the doctor told her that her mother's condition was critical. "How can you suddenly become this healthy, Mom? I checked your condition before I left, but your condition still hasn't changed, so I'm truly shocked to see you this healthy."
Chu Lingxi shook her head at Xing Xing. "Honestly, I don't know what exactly happened to me, but I felt that my body was completely healthy when I opened my eyes not long ago, so I tried to do a light exercise to be certain, and the results are as you can see now."
'What actually happened here? Is my mother really completely healthy now? Or is this just temporary?' Xing Xing kept wondering in her heart, as her mother's recovery was an unexpected miracle. "Mom, how about we go to the hospital? You do look healthy, but I want to make sure that you are completely healthy, so I want to ask the doctor who usually treats you for advice."
"No need." Chu Lingxi refused while shaking her head. "I'm completely healthy, so we don't need to waste money checking my condition."
"But—"
Chu Lingxi covered her daughter's mouth with her hand. "I know you're worried about me, but I'm fine now, so we don't need to go see a doctor. Shall we go out to eat together? I've been sick for too long, and you're always busy working to pay for my treatment, so I want to spend time with you tonight."
Xing Xing inwardly sighed because her mother was too stubborn, but she then nodded while pulling Chu Lingxi's hand away. "We can go out to eat now, but I want to invite Grandpa Chen to join us, and he will be happy to see you."
"Yes, I haven't seen Uncle Chen for a long time, and he has helped us a lot over the years, so I want to thank him." Chu Lingxi then stood up from her seat and rushed to the bathroom to clean herself.
Xing Xing could only shake her head seeing her mother like that, but she kept thinking of a way to take Chu Lingxi to the hospital to have her condition checked. However, she suddenly heard someone calling her name from outside, so she hurriedly checked outside, but she was shocked to see the woman standing in front of her. "Big Sis Tang Yin? Is this really you?"
"Hehe." Tang Yin giggled and pushed Xing Xing into the house before answering her question. "It's really me, so you don't need to be shocked like this, and I came here to discuss something with you."
"Since when have you woken up from your coma?" Xing Xing asked again as she sat down in an empty chair, and Tang Yin immediately sat beside her. "How did you find this house? After all, we moved here not long after you fell into a coma, so you shouldn't know our address."
"I woke up from my coma a few days ago, but I didn't expect that I had been asleep for seven years, so I still have to adjust myself to the many things that have changed." Xing Xing wasn't surprised by that, especially since Tang Yin had been sleeping for too long, and a lot has changed in recent years. "By the way, you remember that Aunt Yuan is a lawyer, right? She also has a lot of connections, and she was the one who helped me find your address."
"I see." Xing Xing nodded in understanding and then asked her a question. "So, what do you want to discuss with me, Big Sis?"
"I would like to invite you to join the company that I will soon establish." Xing Xing looked at Tang Yin in surprise after hearing that. "Even though my company is not yet operational, I am very confident that my business will be successful, especially since all my products are of high quality, and their effects are more potent than those already circulating on the market. As for your salary, I will give you the best offer, and I will also provide a house for you. That way, you can take your mother to move from this slum, and you two can live better."
Even though Chu Lingxi had recovered now, Tang Yin's offer was quite tempting for Xing Xing, especially since she didn't have the money to move to another house, and she would provide one for them. Despite the tempting offer, she hesitated to accept it immediately because the company had not yet been established, and she was reluctant to give up her old job to join her. "What kind of products will you sell through your company?"
Tang Yin immediately explained everything to Xing Xing, especially about the types and benefits of each product. "All my products are ready to sell, and I've set up a website and a few other things to sell them online, but I still have to take care of their licenses and patents. Besides, I've asked Aunt Qing to buy a building for my office and first retail store, and I've also selected several other employees, so I'll immediately set up my company after everything is ready."
"Can I see the samples of the products?"
"You can try using them first, and I dare to guarantee that you won't regret joining me." Xing Xing immediately checked the three products she had just given her, and Tang Yin observed her with a faint smile. 'She is indeed pretty and just a little tomboyish, but the most important thing is that she loves Xiao'er wholeheartedly, and she also believes that he did not commit the crime, so I want her to become his girlfriend.'
After she finished checking the three, Xing Xing immediately said to Tang Yin. "All right, I will accept your offer to join your company, Big Sis."
"That's good." Tang Yin was satisfied with Xing Xing's answer. "In that case, you can go to my father's old company in three days to see Aunt Qing, and she will arrange everything."
Xing Xing then grabbed Tang Yin's hand. "Big Sis, I've heard about Tang Xiao, and I'm sorry that he's no longer in this world."
"Haha." Instead, Tang Yin laughed at that, and she asked Xing Xing back. "Do you believe that Xiao'er is dead?"
Xing Xing shook her head before answering. "Honestly, I hope that Tang Xiao is still alive, but I heard from the news that the ravine is too deep, and they couldn't find his body, so I don't dare hope too high."
"Do you want to know a secret?"
"What kind of secret is that?"
"Before I tell you, you have to promise me first not to tell anyone."
"En, I promise, I won't tell anyone else."
Tang Yin smiled and gently rubbed Xing Xing's hand. "Actually, Xiao'er is still alive, and—"
"Are... are you serious about that, Big Sis? Is... is Tang Xiao really still alive?" Xing Xing asked stammeringly, but her expression was filled with hope.
"Yes, Xiao'er is still alive, but he's in hiding now because there are many people who want him dead." Tears of joy instantly dripped from the corners of Xing Xing's eyes, and Tang Yin wiped them away while telling her another matter. "In fact, he was the one who asked me to recruit you, especially after he listened to your conversation with Grandpa Chen this afternoon."
"Huh?" Xing Xing was shocked to hear that. "How is that possible? That place was very quiet this afternoon, and no one went there."
Tang Yin sighed softly while embracing Xing Xing's shoulder. "I can't tell you anything right now, but I can ask him to meet you if you want it, and you can ask him many things yourself."
"Yes." Xing Xing nodded her head repeatedly. "Please tell Tang Xiao that I want to see him."
"I'll inform Xiao'er about it, but I don't know when he'll see you." Tang Yin then stood up from her seat. "I still have some work to do, so I have to go home now."
After she escorted Tang Yin out, Xing Xing leaned against her door while clasping her hands against her chest, and a beautiful smile appeared on her face. "I'm glad to hear that you're still alive, Tang Xiao."
"Who came just now, Xing'er?"
Chu Lingxi's question brought Xing Xing back to her senses. "Big Sister Tang Yin just came, but she's gone home now."
"Tang Yin?" Chu Lingxi was surprised to hear that. "Didn't she fall into a coma seven years ago?"
"She's awake now, and she came here to offer me a job." Chu Lingxi seemed relieved after hearing Xing Xing's words, as she knew the Tang family more or less. "Her offer was excellent, and she would provide a house for us, so I accepted it. Mother, can change clothes now, and we will go straight to Grandpa Chen's house before going out to eat together."
