After being reborn, the scumbag CEO begs me to remarry him every day.

Qiao Zhiyu doted on Lin Yiyue and naturally didn't want her to do the dishes.

"Yiyue, don't listen to Tang Xia's nonsense. You are a guest in my house. How can we make a guest wash dishes?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yiyue immediately began her performance.

Her previously hesitant pace immediately quickened, and she smiled sweetly.

"Mom and Dad, Brother Zhiyu, I'm also part of this family. My sister-in-law is right, it's only right that I wash the dishes for my family!"

A calculating glint flashed in Lin Yiyue's sweet eyes.

Her return to China this time was not just to be a guest of the Qiao family.

Mr. and Mrs. Qiao had no idea what she was thinking, and they liked her even more: "Yiyue is so obedient and well-behaved, unlike some people, I can't even be bothered to talk to them."

Tang Xia completely ignored their sarcastic remarks.

Lin Yiyue's actions were exactly what she had expected.

After all, in her previous life, Lin Yiyue had only been back in the country for a short time before she shamelessly moved in with her daughter.

The children's room originally prepared for Niannian was also forced to be vacated so that the mother and daughter could live there.

Now she couldn't wait to make a good impression on the Qiao family so that she could find a good match for this Lin An'an of unknown origin.

Tang Xia wasn't unaware of the situation, but after her past life, she no longer had the leisure to indulge Lin Yiyue and the Qiao family.

The doorbell rang suddenly.

Tang Xia, who was closest to the door, understood and went to open it.

The locksmith bowed to Tang Xia, a slender woman, and took off her tool bag.

"Miss, are you looking to change the locks?"

"Yes, my fingerprint lock seems to have suddenly stopped working."

She then confirmed Tang Xia's identity: "Are you sure you're the owner of this house?"

Tang Xia was prepared and took out her usual list of electricity and gas bills.

The account number matches.

Before heading home, Tang Xia passed by a utility pole covered in small advertisements, with "One-Hour Express Lock Replacement" prominently displayed.

Originally, she had only written down the number to prepare for her safety when leaving home in the future, but the Qiao family acted so quickly that she had no choice but to make the call before she met Qiao Zhinuan.

She didn't change the locks this early in her previous life, it seems that she made different choices after her rebirth, and her future changed accordingly.

Tang Xia gritted her teeth inwardly.

If things continue to develop this way, perhaps my daughter Niannian really can be saved.

However, the changes in the future will have both benefits and crises. For example, there is that strange man who claims to be Nian Nian's biological father. He knows too much. Even from the perspective of a reborn person, he is by no means an ordinary person.

Before they could think, Mr. and Mrs. Qiao, who had heard the noise, all came over and started cursing at Tang Xia.

"My son gave you too much money, didn't he? He even dared to have the locks changed right in front of us!"

"So what if I don't let you in? You don't work, you're disobedient, and you can't even give birth to a boy. You still have the nerve to eat my food? Bah!"

The old couple were very feudal; their anger towards Tang Xia was written all over their faces, and they made no attempt to hide it, their spittle flying directly to the doorway.

Tang Xia sneered, "When I gave birth, not only was no one by my side, but they also secretly changed the locks. And you still have the nerve to blame it on Niannian?"

Seeing this, Lin Yiyue shamelessly stepped forward, smiling broadly as she tried to smooth things over with the Qiao family:

“Sister-in-law, there must be some misunderstanding here. The fingerprint lock is broken, you can’t blame your uncle and aunt. You changed the lock without even discussing it with the family. If Nian Nian knew, she would probably be heartbroken. Of course, I don’t mean to blame you. I’m just an outsider and it’s not appropriate for me to interfere in your family affairs.”

His last words to her were that he felt wronged, and he wiped away two tears.

Tang Xia coldly observed her innocent, naive demeanor and narrowed her eyes.

Thinking back to her previous life, Lin Yiyue always spoke to her in this pitiful tone.

She genuinely believed that Lin Yiyue was nothing more than a pitiful woman betrayed by a scumbag, and even ignored her staying at home, making all sorts of provocations.

"When Niannian grows up, if she finds out that someone used her to argue when she couldn't speak, she'll definitely make that person regret it. Besides, by bringing Niannian up, it seems you know which child's surname is Qiao."

Lin Yiyue gently raised her eyes, her tearful eyes filled with calculation.

“Sister-in-law, even if An’an doesn’t have the surname Qiao, my brother Zhiyu and I are very close, so how can we not be considered family?”

Tang Xia looked at her quietly, forced a smile, and said, "Of course, we're just ordinary siblings. Miss Lin is gentle and kind, and she certainly wouldn't do something like destroying someone else's marriage, something that would be struck by lightning."

Lin Yiyue was startled by her words and couldn't help but tremble. A few tears streamed down her cheeks. The Qiao family members were furious when they saw this, and curses echoed throughout the corridor.

Qiao Zhiyu, who had just been helping Lin Yiyue with housework, rushed forward, put his arm around his dear sister's shoulder, and his misplaced sympathy began to overflow again. He pointed at Tang Xia's nose and roared.

"Tang Xia, can you please stop talking so sarcastically? You weren't like this before. Having a child has completely changed you."

"Just having a child?"

Tang Xia was so angry at his casual remark that her hands were trembling.

The room fell silent instantly, and everyone's eyes turned to Qiao Zhiyu.

Even Lin Yiyue and Qiao's mother couldn't help but glance at him.

A few nosy neighbors also poked their heads out and started cracking sunflower seeds.

Regardless of how painful the IVF process was, she had no one to take care of her during her pregnancy. Her in-laws deliberately fed her spoiled food, and Qiao Zhiyu was stingy and unwilling to pay for her daily expenses. She also had to rely on taking interior design jobs online from time to time. If it weren't for the help of her old classmates and friends, she probably would have starved to death long ago.

Unable to sit for long periods due to her large pregnant belly, she tossed and turned in bed with her laptop and electronic pen, trying to secure better nutrition for her baby.

In her past life, she thought it was ridiculous that Qiao Zhiyu trusted her abilities and let her shoulder all the burdens on her own.

Now that she has given birth, she should be in her postpartum period, but instead she has to stay here and watch this adulterous couple being lovey-dovey, while she is still bleeding from her body!

All the suffering and torment he endured were summed up in Qiao Zhiyu's words with just a single word: "that's all."

The locksmith, having finished changing the lock, couldn't bear to watch any longer and said...

“Sir, I can tell you’re a cultured man. Why don’t you see this guest and her son off? Everyone’s watching.”

Like an echoing insect, the old woman outside the door spat out a mouthful of sunflower seed shells.

Qiao Zhiyu seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing.

But he didn't want to lose face in front of Lin Yiyue, so he waved his hand irritably at Tang Xia and said, "I'll take Yiyue and An'an downstairs."

Tang Xia sneered. She couldn't care less about these people; she only had one goal.

This time, we must find a way to make Qiao Zhiyu leave with nothing, so that Nian Nian can have a good enough chance to survive!
