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

Tang Xia was so angry that she laughed instead.

"Satisfied? What could I possibly be dissatisfied with? I'm extremely satisfied!"

Upon seeing Aunt Ruan arrive, she immediately took the child and left him, leaving behind the words: "Qiao Zhiyu, you selfish and heartless person. I thought you became like this later, but I never imagined it was something you were born with."

"Tang Xia! Tang Xia!!"

Qiao Zhiyu wanted to continue, but Aunt Ruan stopped him.

"How can you be so shameless? You've been divorced for so long, why are you still harassing your ex-wife? What, is your young wife at home not satisfying you?"

"I--"

"What do you mean, 'you'? I'm warning you, stay away from Xia Xia. Whether now or in the past, she's someone you can't possibly be close to!"

After uttering those harsh words, Aunt Ruan even spat at him before leaving.

She wasn't usually a hot-tempered person, but unfortunately, Qiao Zhiyu was the worst man she had ever met. Plus, she felt sorry for Tang Xia and the child, so her behavior was inevitably a bit crude.

After catching up with Tang Xia, Aunt Ruan cursed Qiao Zhiyu the whole way.

They kept scolding Tang Xia until she smiled again, and then they stopped.

"Alright, Aunt Ruan, I know you're worried about me, but a man like that isn't worth your breath. Sigh, let's go to a different hospital next time I get vaccinated."

"That's fine. There are plenty of good children's hospitals in S City. It would be bad luck to run into him again."

With each autumn rain, S City officially entered winter.

On the way, everyone was wrapped in thick down jackets, and people became lazy.

There is still no news from Jin Xinghan.

I heard that a new CEO has been parachuted into the Huanyu Group.

He was originally in charge of the overseas branch, but now he has been suddenly transferred back, which is obviously to take over Jin Xinghan's work.

Although the CEO is young, his ruthless methods are very much like Jin Xinghan's.

It's like a replica of him.

It's obvious that this person was personally trained by Jin Xinghan.

This also calmed the restless hearts of many people.

Tang Xia had also seen him at a banquet.

I originally intended to go up and say hello.

Unexpectedly, this man, known as the Smiling Yama, fled in panic upon seeing her.

This left Tang Xia both amused and exasperated.

That day, Jin Yao had nothing to do, so she went to the studio to ask her for a cup of tea.

As they chatted, the conversation turned to the Song family, who had recently been making headlines.

It wasn't because of Tang Xia, but because Song Ziling was getting married.

Tang Xia was also somewhat surprised when she heard the news.

That day at the old lady's birthday banquet, Song Ziling used some dirty tricks to try and make her look bad. She thought this was just the beginning, but she never expected that Song Ziling would completely disappear after that.

Not only could he not see her outside, but even when he returned to the Song family, it was difficult to find her.

"Sister-in-law, have you heard any rumors at the Song family? This is too sudden. How could a woman who used to pester my brother so much marry a bald old man over fifty?"

Tang Xia shook her head, indicating that she didn't know either.

She had also asked Madam Song, but the other party's answer was overly perfunctory.

They simply said that Song Ziling had grown up, had come to her senses, and wanted to do more for her family.

The "bald old man" Jin Yao mentioned is said to be someone of considerable importance.

I heard that his ancestors were relatives of the emperor, and in his generation, he also held a high-ranking official position.

If we were to form a marriage alliance with the Song family, it would also provide them with assistance in the business world.

But Tang Xia always felt that this reason was not very convincing.

Song Ziling's personality makes it hard to believe she's the type to compromise herself.

As they were talking, Tang Xia suddenly received a call from Song Zhiruo.

Upon hearing this, Tang Xia's expression changed drastically.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong? What happened?"

"Zhiruo just told me that Grandma fell at home and it seems to be quite serious. I need to go back and check on her right away."

"That's a big deal! You'd better hurry and get my car!"

Tang Xia's car was sent for maintenance; she took a taxi here this morning.

She took the keys Jin Yao tossed to her and thanked her.

Jin Yao leaned against the window and told her to be careful on the way.

But she always felt that something was wrong.

Song Zhiruo is currently studying abroad. Logically speaking, she shouldn't be the one informing Tang Xia about such an important matter.

But after thinking for a long time, she still couldn't figure it out.

So she lay back down and wrapped herself in the warm blanket.

On the other side, Tang Xia had just arrived at the Song family's house when she saw Liu Ma sitting at the door crying.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she could barely stand.

"Aunt Liu, is Grandma alright?"

When Liu Ma saw her return, she didn't say anything, only telling her to go inside quickly.

Tang Xia didn't think much of it and quickly went up to the second floor.

Pushing open the door, I found the house empty.

She immediately realized something was wrong and was about to leave when the person outside locked the door.

Tang Xia pounded on the door, shouting, "Who are you? Why are you locking me up? Where's Grandma? Is Grandma alright?"

"Don't worry, Grandma is doing very well. She's currently in the countryside preparing for the New Year."

That voice... is it Madam Song?

"Then why did you lock me up? Madam Song, I don't think I've offended you in any way, have I?"

"Ha, what an ungrateful wretch!" Madam Song said coldly, "For so many days, I've been bringing you food and drinks, and I've even agreed to let you return to the Song family, but what have you done? You haven't even called me 'Mom' after all this time."

Tang Xia finally understood where her strange feelings had come from.

The purpose behind everything the Song family did was all too obvious.

I also blame myself. I haven't felt the warmth of family affection for so many years. I was blinded for a moment and didn't realize it immediately.

Thankfully, Grandma is alright.

Tang Xia's anxiety eased slightly.

She needed to calm herself down before she could negotiate with Mrs. Song.

"So, what exactly do you want me to do for you? We can talk again. Maybe we don't need to get to this tense point."

Madam Song remained completely unmoved.

"Don't even think about it. I know you're smart and quick-witted, but this matter will never change."

As Tang Xia heard the footsteps gradually fading away, she couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

"Madam Song! Madam Song!"

There was no further response.

Tang Xia took her phone out of her pocket.

Sure enough, there was no signal.

The windows were also sealed shut, not even a crack.

She should have noticed earlier that if her grandmother had really fallen and injured herself, there would be more people in the house than if no one was home.

She was too hasty and overlooked all of this.

Having Song Zhiruo pass on messages to her was probably to lower her guard.

Who says they don't look like a family?

In just a few days, he has figured her out completely.

Tang Xia is only worried about her daughter now.

Although she has Aunt Ruan to take care of her, Aunt Ruan is already quite old. If she really runs into the Song family, she probably won't be a match for them.
