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

Mrs. Qiao was also somewhat embarrassed.

But the people in this room were either her son's bosses or colleagues, people she couldn't afford to offend.

She couldn't just stay silent, after all, her son was going through a critical period!

He then vented all his anger on his submissive daughter-in-law.

"Tang Xia, it's fine to order takeout at home normally, but even after having a baby, you still like to order takeout so much. It's not that I'm worried about the money, it's just that the food outside isn't clean."

That old man is really good at lying through his teeth.

Over the years, Tang Xia has hardly ever ordered takeout.

Qiao Zhinuan, on the other hand, would find fault even if she prepared a whole table of food, saying it didn't suit her taste. She would go back to her room and order a bunch of junk food, and then the old couple would accuse her of not taking good care of her.

Tang Xia looked at the white rice on the ground and sneered, "Yes, the postpartum meals Mom made had nothing in them, which was indeed cleaner than the takeout we ordered."

Qiao's mother immediately flew into a rage: "Tang Xia! Who are you being sarcastic to? Is that how you talk to your elders?"

Qiao Zhiyu broke out in a cold sweat.

He knew his mother's character all too well, and fearing she might say something she shouldn't, he pushed and shoved her out of the ward.

After closing the door, he lowered his voice and questioned, "Mom, didn't I tell you my boss was coming today and that you should prepare properly? Why did you bring only plain rice?"

How was I supposed to know she really wanted to eat it?

Mrs. Qiao rolled her eyes and began to complain to Qiao Zhiyu: "Your wife is something else! She deliberately changed the locks to prevent us from getting in! I told you long ago, she's not as innocent as she seems; she's cunning as she appears!"

Qiao Zhiyu frowned; he truly didn't know about this.

But Tang Xia probably isn't that kind of person.

"Alright, you can go back now. I'll ask her about this later."

After seeing off Qiao's mother, Qiao Zhiyu returned to his ward. The leader had already left, saying that there was another surgery waiting for him.

Everyone present knew in their hearts that this was just an excuse.

It seems unlikely that Qiao Zhiyu will be recognized for his outstanding performance this year.

A colleague came over, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Brother Qiao, don't be discouraged. You're still young, and you'll have plenty of opportunities in the future."

Qiao Zhiyu forced a smile.

After seeing his colleagues off, Qiao Zhiyu looked dejected.

Looking up, he saw Tang Xia silently sweeping up the trash on the ground.

"Honey, am I a complete failure?"

That sound seemed to transport Tang Xia back to the time when the two were deeply in love.

Qiao Zhiyu was a senior at the medical school next door, and the two met at a school event.

Back then, he would use all his scholarship money to buy himself birthday presents, and he would wait for her at the library entrance in the cold winter, just to give her a scarf and gloves.

But all of this changed after they got married.

Qiao Zhiyu failed to keep any of the vows she made at the wedding.

Tang Xia didn't even look up, her voice icy: "Don't think like that, your mother didn't do it on purpose."

Qiao Zhiyu suddenly stood up, walked behind her, and hugged her waist: "Wife, thank you."

Tang Xia suppressed her nausea and didn't push him away.

"no need thank me?"

"I guessed it all. You must have ordered those postpartum meals yourself, trying to make me look good. I didn't expect my mom to ruin it."

Tang Xia couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

So that's what he was thinking.

That's good, it saves me the trouble of finding excuses to hide it.

Perhaps, this is a good opportunity to find out where the family's property certificate and bankbook are located.

Tang Xia turned around, trying to make her disgust less obvious: "Zhiyu, are our family's property certificate and bankbook with you?"

She could clearly feel the stiffness in Qiao Zhiyu's facial expression after she asked that question.

He pushed up his glasses and gave a dry laugh: "Yeah, why are you asking this?"

Tang Xia pretended to be troubled and said, "We've spent so much money at home recently, and you probably won't be able to get the award now. I also want to know how much money we have left so I can make plans."

Tang Xia had never cared about these things before; she trusted Qiao Zhiyu.

But because she trusted her too much, that winter she couldn't even afford to buy Niannian a warmer down jacket.

Qiao Zhiyu clearly believed this reason.

He held Tang Xia's hand and said, "You don't need to worry about these things. I'm leaving now. You should get some rest."

As he walked behind the door, he suddenly stopped and pointed to the takeout box delivered by the postpartum care center, saying, "Don't order from here next time, it's quite expensive."

Tang Xia neither nodded nor shook her head, but simply smiled and watched him leave.

expensive?

Why didn't he say it was expensive when he bought Lin Yiyue a designer bag yesterday?

It seems unlikely that we can get the property certificate and bankbook location out of him now.

We need to find another way.

Unable to get an answer, Tang Xia gave up on continuing the charade and simply walked over and closed the door.

Ironically, Qiao Zhiyu stood at the door, thinking she was reluctant to part with him and wanted to say goodbye.

He even stretched out his hand.

I never imagined I was just being delusional.

A nurse passing by witnessed this scene and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

A look of embarrassment flashed across Qiao Zhiyu's face.

The ward was finally empty again.

Tang Xia could finally catch her breath.

Fortunately, the manager of the postpartum care center was very thorough in his considerations. Even though it's not particularly cold now, the meals delivered were all insulated.

Otherwise, she'd be eating cold food right now.

I sat down and was about to start eating when a message popped up on my phone.

What did you eat today?

It's Jin Xinghan.

Tang Xia thought for a moment, took a picture, and sent it over.

There was no further response from the other party.

She simply assumed that Jin Xinghan was checking the postpartum care center's service level, given the seemingly ambiguous greeting.

After all, it was he who paid for those tens of thousands of yuan.

With this in mind, Tang Xia decided that she would take a photo of every postpartum meal and send it to Jin Xinghan.

Leaving a record of one's actions is one of the skills she should learn before entering the workplace.

But Tang Xia didn't know that the person on the other end of the phone had their heart racing again after receiving her photo.

Tang Xia originally thought that this kind of life would continue until Niannian was discharged from the hospital, but she did not expect that she would receive a discharge notice the next day.

The nurse was also very apologetic: "Ms. Tang, I know it's more convenient for you to take care of your child in the hospital, but there's a shortage of beds right now, so we really can't let you stay any longer. I'm so sorry."

Tang Xia was indeed stunned for a moment when she heard the news.

After a while, she said, "Wait a moment, let me make a phone call and ask."

The nurse nodded.

Such an important matter should indeed be discussed with the husband.

But after answering the phone, Tang Xia called out softly, "President Jin."
