Woman 30: I regained my life after divorce

After dinner, Wang Ma, who was on good terms with Liu Wanning, delivered the food to Liu Wanning's room.

"I'm not eating, Aunt Wang, take the food away!"

Liu Wanning said angrily.

Liu Wanning felt a surge of resentment whenever she recalled what Liu Ling had said to her at dinner.

"Clearly, clearly I am Mom's real daughter!"

Upon hearing that Zhou Xinyao had finally given birth to her child, Liu Wanning's mind was completely filled with jealousy.

Although she had been mentally prepared, Liu Wanning still couldn't accept her newborn brother when she actually learned the news.

"I will never acknowledge my half-brother!"

Liu Wanning secretly vowed to win Zhou Xinyao's love by any means necessary.

The food was left untouched at the door, but Liu Wanning had no appetite for it whatsoever.

After delivering the food to the door, Wang Ma said a few words and then went up to the room on the second floor.

At this moment, the old housekeeper had already begun to guide Liu Ling through the next step of the inventory process.

"Wang Dan, you've finally arrived! Please help me quickly. Some of these oil paintings are just too big. Could you please help me with that?"

Liu Ling saw Wang Ma walking over and excitedly gave her instructions.

Wang Ma didn't say much. Whether Liu Ling asked her for help or not, these were things she should do.

The old butler observed their every move, but didn't say anything unnecessary.

A person's personality can be revealed not only through their words but also through their actions.

Between Wang Ma and Liu Ling, the old housekeeper still appreciated and liked Wang Ma a little more.

This was followed by suspicion towards Liu Ling.

"Liu Ling, move the oil painting next to you a little bit to the left."

The old butler skillfully directed the two men.

There aren't many oil paintings; they're just large in size and take up a lot of space.

With the help of the two people, the three of them quickly completed the inventory.

During the inventory process, Liu Ling unexpectedly discovered a medium-sized oil painting, the content of which was exactly the one Li Bing had specified.

Swallowing hard, Liu Ling stared greedily at the designated oil painting, her eyes never leaving it.

"Liu Ling, Liu Ling!"

The old housekeeper called Liu Ling twice before finally getting her attention back.

"What's going on? I told you and Wang Dan to pack things up together, hurry up!"

Wang Ma came to Liu Ling's side, looked at Liu Ling with a puzzled expression, and followed Liu Ling's gaze until it finally settled on the designated oil painting.

It was an oil painting filled with roses, and there were some people pruning them. Wang Ma noticed that the painting seemed to be called 'The Gardener'.

The memory was frozen on an oil painting called "The Gardener." Without much thought, Wang Ma glanced at the painting and began to talk to Liu Ling.

"Stop looking, these are all handicrafts, definitely not something ordinary people like us can look at."

Wang Ma had long suspected that the items displayed before her were of considerable value, and the events of the previous night only reinforced her suspicions.

Wang Ma felt a lingering fear, thankful that she hadn't been bewitched.

It's important to understand that whether a nanny steals from her employer's home depends entirely on her character.

Thinking of this, Wang Ma turned her gaze to Liu Ling.

As the two worked together, Wang Ma became increasingly suspicious of Liu Ling's character.

The two of them had only worked together briefly before, and their subsequent contact was entirely through chatting on their phones.

To truly know someone, you probably need to get to know them in person.

Wang Ma deeply regretted introducing Liu Ling to Zhou Xinyao and felt a profound aversion to Liu Ling herself.

Liu Ling felt Wang Ma's gaze, but pretended not to notice and continued with her work.

Wang Ma sighed softly. No matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't change the fact that Liu Ling had already started working.

The three of them quickly finished taking inventory, and the old butler concluded that five items were missing.

One of them was taken away and used as a weapon to deliberately attack Zhou Xinyao, which can be deduced from the fragments found on the ground.

The other four items that were nowhere to be found were a teapot, a pottery piece, a pen holder, and a small oil painting.

"The inventory is complete, everyone can disperse now."

The old butler disbanded the team and then relayed his findings to Bai Yunchuan and Zhou Xinyao, who were still in the hospital.

At the hospital, Bai Yunchuan answered a phone call from the old housekeeper in front of Zhou Xinyao.

After the call ended, Bai Yunchuan relayed the old butler's words directly.

"Aside from the ceramic object that attacked me, four other things have disappeared!"

Upon hearing the news, Zhou Xinyao immediately became angry.

The group had only moved to the old house a little over a month ago.

To dare steal something right under their noses is simply audacious!

Considering that the baby was sleeping next to her, Zhou Xinyao did not make a loud noise.

Bai Yunchuan understood Zhou Xinyao's feelings at this moment and spoke in a deep voice.

“I will arrange for the old housekeeper to handle this matter. Xinyao, please don’t be angry. Since the things have already been stolen, we will find them sooner or later.”

"Your health is the most important thing, so please don't get angry."

Zhou Xinyao began her postpartum confinement period after giving birth.

For a woman, postpartum confinement is a major event in her life, and there are many things to pay attention to, especially avoiding excessive emotional fluctuations.

Zhou Xinyao nodded, suppressing her displeasure.

Bai Yunchuan sat to one side, took out his phone, and dialed the old housekeeper again.

"You should immediately purchase some miniature cameras, and make sure no one sees them being installed."

"Yes, young master, I will be careful."

Only after receiving the old butler's approval did Bai Yunchuan feel relieved.

Originally, the Bai family's old house did not have many security cameras installed; the only one was installed at the main gate.

If there were cameras in other areas, the perpetrator who attacked Zhou Xinyao wouldn't have gone unpunished.

"Yun Chuan, call the police in a bit and have them come to your house to investigate the scene and check everything that is useful."

Ultimately, Zhou Xinyao wanted the police to use technology to extract useful clues—fingerprints—from the broken fragments.

Bai Yunchuan nodded, and without saying a word, took out his phone and dialed the police.

"Hello, I need to report a crime. Important items have been stolen from my home, and my wife has been attacked and seriously injured."

Bai Yunchuan carefully recounted everything he knew to the police officer on the other end of the phone.

Zhou Xinyao lay comfortably on the bed, listening attentively to Bai Yunchuan's report of the case, word by word.

With her eyes slightly lowered, Zhou Xinyao shifted her gaze, softening as it fell upon the sleeping baby.

My baby, your mom will never let you get into any danger!
