88: Xia Yang's suitors

"I'm fine, I just wasn't paying attention. This barbecue is really delicious." Gao Ying continued to pick up food.

Xia Yang only felt relieved after seeing that she was truly okay.

"Fugui, what exactly is going on? Why did the boss's distant relatives take the child away?"

"Don't they know they cost a life because of it?" Gao Ying asked angrily.

[Those distant relatives of the boss left their hometown long ago to work elsewhere.]

[When they first returned, they were always strapped for cash. After all, they were uneducated and did manual labor in the big city.]

[But after just two years, they changed completely. They came home driving luxury cars and bought gifts for many people in the village.]

[This made all the villagers extremely envious, and they kept asking where they made their fortune.]

[But they just said there were great opportunities in the city, and because they saved a benefactor this time, their status rose accordingly.]

[In reality, these two had already become human traffickers. This time they returned to the village prepared to target the village's children.]

"How despicable. How many children did they kidnap back then?" Gao Ying asked, suppressing her anger.

[Three. One was the boss's daughter, and there were two boys.]

[It's just that only the boss persisted in continuing the search. The other two families didn't give up either, but they had children and elderly at home to care for, so they couldn't be like the boss.]

"Send the information on the children and women that gang trafficked directly to the police. Just tell me about the boss's daughter." Since she knew, Gao Ying certainly wouldn't sit idly by.

[Because the boss's daughter was sick back then, she wasn't chosen by a buyer. That couple thought she was their relative's child and they didn't have children of their own, so they raised her themselves.]

[She's currently in this university town as well. Her name is Li Shan, a sophomore at Qing University, studying fashion design.]

"Does Li Shan know she was trafficked? Did she participate in the trafficking operations later?" Gao Ying asked.

Fugui fell silent for a moment before speaking: "She knows, and she participated."

"Sister, why are you unhappy? Does the barbecue not suit your taste?" Xia Yang had been paying attention to her emotions and asked nervously when he saw her looking down.

"A Yang, I don't have much of an appetite. Walk with me." Looking at the busy boss, Gao Ying didn't know how he would feel if he knew his daughter had turned from a kidnapped victim into a perpetrator.

Xia Yang didn't ask further when he saw she didn't want to talk. He greeted the boss and pulled her to the campus playground to stroll.

"The boss's daughter should be found within the next couple of days." The two came to a lawn and sat down, and Gao Ying spoke first.

"Really? Sister, did you have someone help the boss find her?" Xia Yang asked happily.

Gao Ying sighed seeing him so happy: "A Yang, actually, not every reunion is something worth being happy about."

"Sister, is the boss's daughter no longer in this world?" Xia Yang guessed from her expression.

"She's living very well and is a sophomore in this university town, but she turned from a victim into a perpetrator." Gao Ying told him after all.

Xia Yang fell silent. He now preferred that the boss never find his daughter.

"A Yang, we can't control other people's thoughts. Let's leave everything to the boss's own choice." Gao Ying pulled him into her arms.

Xia Yang didn't say anything, just held her tightly.

"Xia Yang?"

Hearing the call, Xia Yang looked toward the sound. It was the people from his former dorm.

"Why are you guys here?" Xia Yang remembered these three seemed to have gone to companies for internships.

"Isn't it boring after work? So we agreed to come for a stroll at school together. Is this your girlfriend?" The three roommates looked at Gao Ying and asked.

"Yeah, my girlfriend." Xia Yang introduced Gao Ying with a happy face.

"Hello everyone. A Yang told me you helped him a lot at school." Gao Ying greeted them.

"We're roommates, helping each other is only right. Have you eaten? How about going out to grab something?" one of them asked.

"No need, we just finished eating. By the way, how's your work going?" Xia Yang asked.

"It's okay. We can get the certification anyway. By the way, how's your company?"

Gao Ying saw them chatting, and since her stomach was a bit uncomfortable, she whispered to him to ask for the location of the restroom.

"I'll go with you." Xia Yang was worried.

"How old am I? I still need you to accompany me." Gao Ying gave him a playful pat and left.

"Alright, so clingy in love, your eyes are glued to her." The roommates teased him.

"Xia Yang, your girlfriend is really beautiful. But what if that God-tier Tycoon who gave you tips wants to meet you?"

"Oh right, I heard rich people are very domineering. That God-tier Tycoon tipped you quite a lot."

The three roommates started worrying for him thinking about this.

"No, Sister is very easy to get along with." Xia Yang refuted the three.

"Sister!! You've met that God-tier Tycoon?" The three looked at him in shock.

Xia Yang nodded.

"And you even call her Sister!"

Xia Yang nodded again.

"No, brother, I know she's generous, but your girlfriend is so beautiful, you can't do anything stupid!" one of the roommates advised earnestly.

"Not necessarily, right? After all, that God-tier Tycoon spends so much money at once. Xia Yang could use the God-tier Tycoon's money to support his current girlfriend."

"What are you guys talking about? How could I do something like that?" Xia Yang didn't know how he had such an image in their minds.

"That God-tier Tycoon doesn't have any requirements for you? Just gives you money to spend for nothing?"

"That good? Why don't you introduce us?" The three roommates looked at him flatteringly.

"Haven't I already introduced you?" Xia Yang looked at them with a smile.

"Huh? Already introduced? Why didn't we see her!" The three just didn't expect it to be Gao Ying.

After all, in their view, even a Fugui young lady shouldn't be that lavish.

That Sister Ying didn't just tip Xia Yang alone.

Xia Yang looked in the direction Gao Ying had left.

"The God-tier Tycoon you're talking about couldn't be your girlfriend, could it!!" The three thought around and, thinking of Gao Ying just now, asked in unison.

"Yeah." Xia Yang gave them a definite answer.

"Xia Yang, what kind of dog-shit luck are you having? Your girlfriend is so beautiful and so rich. I won't even say who's jealous." After saying that, the three hugged each other and fake-cried.

"Are you Xia Yang's girlfriend?" Gao Ying had just come out of the restroom when her path was blocked by a man.

"Yes, are you A Yang's friend?" Gao Ying asked.

"Leave him. Xia Yang can only be mine." The man looked at her with eyes spitting fire.

Gao Ying blinked at the man. She had always thought it would be women treating her as a love rival.

She really hadn't expected a man to treat her as a love rival.

"Does Xia Yang know you?" Gao Ying hadn't heard Xia Yang mention any close male friends.

[Hahaha, Sister, Xia Yang has no idea he exists at all. This man likes men.]

[He saw Xia Yang once and fell in love at first sight. He lurks at the place where Xia Yang works part-time every day.]

[But he doesn't dare go up and talk. Seeing girls hit on Xia Yang makes him deathly angry.]
