Tang Xia had anticipated the other party's disdain.

It wasn't just Jin Xinghan's reminder, but also the lessons she learned in her previous life.

A new mother, without a job or relatives, would be seen as an easy target by anyone.

So, she turned on her phone to record audio before entering the coffee shop.

Unexpectedly, it really came in handy.

The arrogant lawyer finally slunk away.

However, I will have to spend time finding a new lawyer.

Tang Xia had a headache.

Looking up, I saw the girl who had just spoken up for me. Her face, with its light freckles, was puffed up with anger, and her white shirt, stained with coffee, made me want to look at her a few more times.

Remembering that she had clean clothes in her bag, Tang Xia suggested, "You can go to the restroom and change into my clothes. Thank you so much for earlier."

The girl waved her hand dismissively and said no, "It's not just for you. I don't want our profession to be tarnished by people like him."

Tang Xia's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing her words.

"You mean, you're a lawyer too?"

The girl was a little embarrassed: "Although I just passed the bar exam, I am indeed a lawyer."

"That's great! Can you help me with this case? Don't worry about the price," Tang Xia said, expressing her thoughts.

The girl was stunned for a moment, then pointed to herself, somewhat incredulous: "Me? But... I'm still just a newbie."

"It's okay, I believe you."

Tang Xia felt a strong liking for the girl who had helped him on their first meeting.

The girl first straightened her clothes, then solemnly extended her hand: "Hello Ms. Tang, I am Jin Yao. From now on, I will be your lawyer. Don't worry, I will do my best to help you!"

Tang Xia responded with a smile: "Hello, Attorney Jin, my name is Tang Xia."

It was almost noon when I came out of the coffee shop.

Tang Xia originally wanted to invite Jin Yao to a casual meal, but the other party said that she had to rush back to collect information, so the matter was dropped.

However, the name of this girl who was so decisive and efficient made her feel a little uneasy.

The surname Jin is not common in City S.

But she and that man don't look alike, so it's probably just a coincidence.

Tang Xia quickly forgot about the matter.

Because, finally, her beloved could leave the ICU.

Although she was only transferred from the intensive care unit to a regular ward, at least she and her daughter no longer had to be separated by thick glass windows.

Upon hearing the news, Tang Xia immediately rushed to the nursery.

Unexpectedly, Jin Xinghan was already there.

"Are you here to see Niannian?"

Jin Xinghan's eyes were indifferent, and his tone was as calm as ever.

This was in stark contrast to Tang Xia, who was so excited she almost cried.

Tang Xia nodded.

After receiving the nurse's message, she practically ran over.

At this moment, her hair was messy and two blushes appeared on her cheeks. Before coming, she was using a breast pump to prepare breast milk for Nian Nian and did not notice that the button on her clothes was fastened crookedly.

Jin Xinghan glanced at it only once before turning away as if she had been electrocuted.

"Your...clothes..."

Tang Xia immediately lowered her head.

After seeing that it was just a crooked button, I was actually relieved.

She thought that the embarrassing thing had happened again.

Tang Xia put her hand on the button and then remembered that there was another stranger in the ward.

Just as she was about to ask Jin Xinghan to leave, she saw that he had already turned away at some point.

This subconscious respect for women touched Tang Xia's heart.

"Alright, Mr. Jin, you can turn around now."

Jin Xinghan's movements seemed somewhat stiff.

But at that moment, Tang Xia's attention was entirely on the child, so she didn't notice.

Niannian inherited a large part of her appearance from her mother.

With fair skin and long eyelashes, the nurse said that when she opened her eyes, they were dark and bright, and she would definitely grow up to be a great beauty.

When Tang Xia first heard these words, she felt a little sad.

After all, in her previous life, she didn't get to see Niannian grow up.

But now, she can accept the praise from those around her without feeling guilty.

To paraphrase a line from a TV series, the past is dark and cannot be retrieved, but the future is bright and promising.

She will surely grow up safely.

"You cried."

A deep, magnetic voice sounded from behind.

Tang Xia no longer tried to hide it: "Yes, but it's because I was too happy. I'm sorry, I lost my composure in front of President Jin."

Jin Xinghan didn't say anything more.

But after a rustling sound, a clean, plain white handkerchief was handed to Tang Xia.

Tang Xia thanked her and accepted it.

After wiping away her tears, Tang Xia looked at the crumpled handkerchief and felt a little embarrassed to return it: "Mr. Jin, I'll return this handkerchief to you after I wash it."

"It's alright, don't worry about it."

Niannian was still asleep, so the two of them lowered their voices and couldn't help but move closer.

Jin Xinghan picked up his coat and thought for a moment: "You don't need to feel embarrassed in front of me because of anything, whether it's crying or something else, it doesn't matter."

Tang Xia was stunned. She looked up and saw Jin Xinghan nod at her with firm approval in his eyes before turning and leaving.

……

It wasn't until evening that Tang Xia received Qiao Zhiyu's reply.

I have something to do today, so I won't be able to visit the child. My parents aren't feeling well and it's not convenient for them to go out. We can see them after the child is discharged from the hospital and comes home.

Tang Xia knew perfectly well that the so-called "something to do" was simply helping Lin Yiyue and Lin An'an move their luggage.

Presumably, Lin Yiyue will be able to move into the Qiao family's house tonight as she wishes.

But she, the nominal mistress of the house, was "completely unaware" of this matter.

Just as Tang Xia was preparing to wash up and rest, her phone suddenly received a text message.

In addition to a bunch of photos, a voice message was also sent.

"Sister Tang Xia, this is terrible! That vixen actually moved all her things into your house while you were away!"

Those photos are evidence taken by Jin Yao today, after she had people follow Qiao Zhiyu all day.

However, these facts do not yet prove that he cheated.

Tang Xia wasn't in a hurry.

Based on his understanding of Qiao Zhiyu and Lin Yiyue, even if they were very reserved, it wouldn't last more than a month.

She tapped her phone and replied to Jin Yao: 【Thank you for your hard work.】

[What's so hard about me? It's you who's going through this right after giving birth! That man is utterly inhuman! And that vixen, knowing full well he's married, she still eagerly became his mistress! It's unbelievable!]

But Tang Xia didn't feel that she was miserable.

In her previous life, she was kept in the dark, acted like a fool for three years, and ultimately caused Niannian's death.

In this life, she saw through the true colors of the scumbag and his awful relatives beforehand, and it was already a stroke of luck that she was able to escape in time.

Before turning off her phone, Tang Xia thought for a moment and then replied to Qiao Zhiyu.

[Zhiyu, I remember there are still some things we haven't bought for the nursery. Why don't you go buy them tomorrow? Otherwise, the baby won't be comfortable when she comes back.]

She looked at the message interface; the other party was still typing but hadn't sent a single word.

She also has methods to keep people awake all night.
