After being reborn, the scumbag CEO begs me to remarry him every day.
Chapter 17 Lawyer
The call with Jin Xinghan lasted only a minute.
Tang Xia seemed reassured and turned to the nurse with a smile, saying, "Okay, I'll pack my things right away and move out of the ward today. Thank you for taking care of me these past few days."
"It should."
Back in her room, Tang Xia called Qiao Zhiyu.
Unexpectedly, it was Lin Yiyue who answered the phone.
A slightly strained, grating voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, who are you looking for?"
"Heh." Tang Xia couldn't help but sneer.
This is Qiao Zhiyu's phone; how could it not have her name saved in his contacts?
Lin Yiyue did this on purpose.
However, this gave Tang Xia a new idea.
She deliberately ignored Lin Yiyue's voice and asked, "Isn't this Zhiyu's phone? May I ask who you are?"
Before Lin Yiyue could answer, Tang Xia continued, "You must be his colleague, right? Could you tell Zhiyu that the inpatient department won't let me stay here any longer and that I should go home? Have him pick me up after work."
The person on the other end paused for a moment before replying, "Okay, I will definitely pass it on to Dr. Qiao."
Tang Xia's lips curved into a smile.
Lin Yiyue was indeed fooled.
In her previous life, it was Lin Yiyue who told Qiao Zhiyu to go to a postpartum care center, saying that the staff there would be more considerate and wouldn't tire his parents out.
At first, Tang Xia thought the other party meant well.
But when she came out of the postpartum care center, she found that Lin Yiyue had taken advantage of the time to openly move into the Qiao family home with Lin An'an. She didn't know what methods she used to coax the whole family into submission and even took over the children's room that was prepared for Niannian.
With such a great opportunity now, she'll definitely be eager to seize it.
After packing her things, Tang Xia waited quietly in the room.
Less than half an hour later, Qiao Zhiyu called back.
"Hey honey, I heard you're going home?"
"Yes, the inpatient department said there are a shortage of beds and asked me to give up my place for another pregnant woman. Please come and pick me up to take me home." Tang Xia said expressionlessly, as if she were reciting lines.
Qiao Zhiyu hesitated for a long time on the other end of the phone before saying, "Honey, Niannian is still in the hospital, and Mom and Dad haven't been feeling well lately. There's no one to take care of you if you go home. How about I book a postpartum care center for you?"
"But booking a postpartum care center is so expensive."
"It's alright, you're my wife. No matter how expensive it is, as long as you're well taken care of, it's all worth it."
"Well... okay." Tang Xia finally smiled. "Then just transfer the money to me directly, and I'll order it myself. That way, you won't have to make a trip."
"……Row."
Even over the phone, Tang Xia could almost see Qiao Zhiyu gritting his teeth.
Sure enough, only Lin Yiyue could make him willingly hand over the money.
Not long after, Tang Xia received a transfer of 50,000 yuan into her bank account.
Looking at this money, and then thinking about the gifts Qiao Zhiyu had given Lin Yiyue in both her past and present lives.
ridiculous.
Tang Xia arrived at the postpartum care center and used Qiao Zhiyu's identity to get a pretty big discount. Besides, she didn't plan to stay for that long. She would go back after Nian Nian came out of the intensive care unit.
After paying, there was still a considerable amount left in my bank card.
Tang Xia used the money to hire a lawyer who specializes in divorce cases.
After accepting each other's friend requests, the two agreed to meet at a coffee shop near the hospital the next day.
Tang Xia gripped her phone tightly and fell into a deep sleep.
She's taking every step carefully now, all for her own and Niannian's future.
There can be absolutely no mistakes.
The environment in postpartum care centers is actually better than that in hospital wards.
Not only did she have a professional nursing team to massage her legs and feet to help reduce swelling, but she also had a psychologist who was always concerned about her emotions.
This money was well spent.
When the time arrived for her appointment with the lawyer, Tang Xia got dressed and walked to the coffee shop.
As soon as she entered, she saw the man sitting by the window.
Dressed in a suit and tie, with a laptop bag in hand, he looked like he stepped out of a TV drama.
Tang Xia walked over and asked, "Excuse me, are you Attorney Pan?"
The man nodded: "Hello, Ms. Tang, I am your lawyer, Pan Wei. Please have a seat. Let's talk about the situation you are in."
Tang Xia nodded, impressed by their professional attitude.
She first explained her current situation, and then gave her demands.
Unexpectedly, the elite lawyer in front of her looked at her with a mocking gaze.
"So, Miss Tang, you want your husband to leave with nothing when he hasn't done anything wrong? Isn't that going too far?"
"I..." Tang Xia couldn't find the right words to refute for a moment.
It was several months later that Qiao Zhiyu had an affair with Lin Yiyue.
So far, neither of them has actually done anything wrong.
Pan Wei shook his head and clicked his tongue, his gaze towards Tang Xia filled with malice: "Miss Tang, you've only just given birth, and you're already eager to get a divorce. I'm afraid you already have someone else outside, aren't you? Forgive my bluntness, but our company generally won't serve a woman like you."
"Attorney Pan!" Tang Xia frowned deeply. "This is slander!"
Pan Wei sneered and said, "I'm a lawyer, I know better than you what slander is. You said that after you gave birth, your husband and his family ignored you. Didn't you ever think that this might be your own problem? If you were a good wife and a good daughter-in-law, why would they treat you like this?"
What a victim-blaming argument!
Tang Xia clenched her fists in anger, afraid that she would pour the coffee on his head at any moment.
However, before she could make a move, a cup of coffee from the next table was spilled over her.
As luck would have it, it all spilled onto Pan Wei.
Pan Wei jumped up when he saw his expensive suit was stained: "What happened to you? Can you afford to pay for my suit?"
The person who spilled his coffee was a young-looking girl.
She had clearly overheard their conversation and was so angry she was practically ready to grab the man's hair: "Someone like you doesn't even deserve to be a lawyer! You don't know anything about the cause and effect, and you're even trying to smear your clients! Lawyers' reputation is being ruined by people like you!"
Pan Wei dared not accept such a huge accusation and hurriedly explained, "Miss Tang, that's not what I meant. Don't listen to this crazy woman's nonsense."
Tang Xia raised her hand, interrupting him.
She smiled slightly, her every gesture exuding elegance: "I understand."
Pan Wei breathed a sigh of relief.
But the next second, a cold female voice rang out again: "Attorney Pan, I don't think you meet my requirements. You can get your deposit back. Also, I've recorded our conversation just now, and this recording will be sent to your company's email address along with the complaint letter."
The once-imposing elite lawyer now resembles a stray dog.
He really underestimated this woman.
