Woman 30: I regained my life after divorce

Liu Ling just wanted to leave this place of trouble as soon as possible, thinking that if she left temporarily, everyone would probably gradually forget what had happened recently.

"I'd like to take a leave of absence, about a week..."

The old housekeeper gave Liu Ling a deep look but did not give a direct answer. After all, Liu Ling wanted to take a week off, which was not in line with the requirements of a live-in nanny.

"Liu Ling, do you know that as a nanny, your employer only gives you four days of leave per month?"

“You’ve been taking a lot of leave lately, and you’ve used up all your leave allowance for this month. If you want to continue taking leave, I need to wait until Madam comes back so she can make the decision.”

The old housekeeper currently suspects Wang Ma and Liu Ling the most, so how could he let anyone take leave so easily?

I can only feel at ease supervising suspects when they are placed close to me.

Upon hearing the old housekeeper's tactful words, Liu Ling's heart skipped a beat, realizing that this was going to be difficult.

"Alright, in that case, I guess I'll just have to let my child study at home on his own."

Shaking her head in apparent helplessness, Liu Ling secretly observed the expression on the old housekeeper's face.

The latter did not focus his attention on Liu Ling, but seriously made work arrangements for the two of them.

In the afternoon, accompanied by Bai Yunchuan, Zhou Xinyao returned home wrapped in a thick quilt.

The sleeping baby was held by the newly hired nanny, who followed closely behind the two of them.

Upon hearing the news that Zhou Xinyao was coming back, Liu Wanning arrived on the first floor early, impatiently waiting for her mother.

As soon as the door opened, Zhou Xinyao noticed Liu Wanning standing in the corner and happily called out to her.

"Wan Ning, come quickly, your little brother has been born."

The baby has been born for several days now, and she should continue to rest in the hospital, but Zhou Xinyao insists on being discharged, believing that her body has recovered very well.

Moreover, with a top-notch postpartum nanny by her side, Zhou Xinyao doesn't need to handle much about the baby's needs.

Left with no other choice, Bai Yunchuan had to agree to Zhou Xinyao's request and take the child home.

Liu Wanning, who was singled out by Zhou Xinyao, stepped forward a few steps in dissatisfaction, pretending to be well-behaved.

"Mother."

At Zhou Xinyao's suggestion, the nanny showed the baby to Liu Wanning so that she could see the baby's appearance up close.

"Wan Ning, this is your younger brother, his name is Bai Yuechen. From now on, you will be the big sister."

Immersed in joy, Zhou Xinyao was completely unaware of the fleeting jealousy in Liu Wanning's eyes.

The other people in the room had smiles on their faces and treated the baby boy in the nanny's arms with great respect.

Liu Wanning is not Bai Yunchuan's biological child after all, so the only person who can inherit the Bai family business in the future is Bai Yuechen.

Liu Wanning is not old, but she understands all these principles.

A sense of resentment spread through her heart, and a voice kept whispering in her ear: Once Bai Yuechen is around, everything around her will no longer be hers!

Jealousy, insane jealousy.

Looking at the baby with its eyes closed, Liu Wanning felt no affection for the child, no matter how cute it was.

"Wan Ning? Do you like your younger brother?"

Liu Wanning, who was immersed in her own world, was awakened by Zhou Xinyao's voice.

Looking up at Zhou Xinyao, then at Bai Yuechen, Liu Wanning finally suppressed her jealousy and a smile bloomed on her face.

"I love my little brother! I will take good care of him from now on!"

With the return of Zhou Xinyao and the others, the other people in the old house became even busier.

Led by the old housekeeper, the nanny and the baby found their room, and Zhou Xinyao lay comfortably in bed.

Bai Yunchuan looked at Zhou Xinyao seriously and gave her some instructions.

"Xinyao, this is your postpartum confinement period, you must make sure to lie down and rest well."

Zhou Xinyao nodded in agreement and said with a smile.

"Okay, I'm already home. There are plenty of people taking care of me there. You should go back to work now!"

During the time Zhou Xinyao was giving birth, Bai Yunchuan never left her side.

As the president of the Bai Group, Bai Yunchuan must have a lot of work piling up on his plate.

Zhou Xinyao was not a woman who disregarded the bigger picture. After returning home and settling down, she immediately sent Bai Yunchuan away, urging him to return to the company to handle his affairs.

As she watched Bai Yunchuan leave, Zhou Xinyao's expression changed, instantly becoming serious.

"Old butler, come here for a moment, I need to talk to you about something!"

At Zhou Xinyao's command, the old butler, who was always on standby, quickly came to Zhou Xinyao's side.

"Madam, may I ask what brings you here?"

The old butler spoke politely, but in reality, he knew perfectly well why Zhou Xinyao had summoned him here.

As expected, under the old butler's watchful eye, Zhou Xinyao slowly opened her mouth and spoke earnestly.

“I’m back now, and the baby has been born. It’s time to deal with some things at home.”

Zhou Xinyao's eyes were fierce, and she didn't look like a woman who had just given birth at all.

"I must find the person who attacked me! I will make her get the punishment she deserves."

If it weren't for the sudden attack, Zhou Xinyao's baby wouldn't have been born so early.

It's important to understand that for babies in the later stages of pregnancy, every extra day they can stay in the womb is far better than being born prematurely.

The old housekeeper nodded, agreeing with Zhou Xinyao's point of view.

“Madam, the police have said they’ve sent people to investigate, and I’ve already installed miniature cameras in my home.”

"Also, of the items you specifically placed at home, five are missing after a count..."

The old butler answered truthfully.

Zhou Xinyao's differences.

Five? That many?

Zhou Xinyao knew a little about the quantity of those items; to be able to steal such a large quantity right under their noses was simply outrageous.

"This is absolutely outrageous!"

Zhou Xinyao suddenly remembered something and quickly asked the old butler.

"Before I was attacked, the assailant seemed to be looking for something. Old housekeeper, after you installed the cameras, did you take an inventory of the items?"

Just in case, Zhou Xinyao asked tentatively.

This made the old steward hesitate, but in the end he still reported the truth.

"Reporting to Madam, because of your and the young master's return, I haven't been able to take inventory of the items today."

Zhou Xinyao's lips curled up as she gave an order to the old butler.

"Hehe, then you can take your men and start taking inventory now."

"The items are all there, each one worth a fortune. I don't believe that thief wouldn't be tempted?"

Upon receiving Zhou Xinyao's instructions, the old butler nodded repeatedly.

"We've found Wang Ma and Liu Ling," the old housekeeper said in a deep voice.

"You two put down what you're doing and now recount the items with me."

Liu Ling's heart pounded, and she knew something was wrong!

If an inventory were actually taken, the oil painting I just stole would definitely be discovered.
