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

As evening approached, Lin An'an returned covered in mud.

Whether it was intentional or unintentional, the child grabbed a piece of clothing hanging on a hanger when entering the room.

As luck would have it, it was Tang Xia's clothes.

Lin Yiyue walked over, glanced at the muddy handprints on her clothes, and pretended not to see them.

"An'an, what did you do outside today? Go tell Grandpa and Grandma, they love to hear it."

"Okay." Lin An'an said as she took off her shoes, "By the way, Mom, I met an aunt downstairs today. Her child is about the same age as my sister. Why can she go out to play, but my sister can't?"

Lin Yiyue paused, glancing seemingly in Tang Xia's direction, before continuing, "Your sister is different from other children. She's sick!"

Lin Yiyue deliberately emphasized the word "sick," making it sound extremely jarring.

Tang Xia clenched her fists tightly.

But then, the sound of crying behind her pulled her back from the brink of anger.

She turned and went back into the house, slamming the door shut.

Lin Yiyue laughed disdainfully. In order to maintain her sweet and gentle image in front of her family, she only dared to mutter under her breath, "Stupid and cowardly bitch."

Even if their child is told to their face that they are "sick," they dare not stand up and say a word.

She straightened Lin An'an's clothes again: "An'an, Grandma and I are going out to buy groceries later. You and Grandpa will play chess at home. Remember to be good, okay?"

"Okay, Mom, An'an is the most obedient."

-

It started raining again outside.

Furthermore, this trend is growing.

Suddenly, Qiao's father banged on the bedroom door from the outside: "Tang Xia! Tang Xia, come out quickly!"

The piercing screams woke up the children who had just fallen asleep.

Tang Xia could only try to comfort the child while asking, "Dad, what happened?"

"Something happened to your mother!"

Fortunately, Niannian wasn't too awake, and after patting her a couple of times, she fell asleep again.

Tang Xia tiptoed over, opened the door, and whispered, "Dad, keep your voice down, Niannian is still sleeping."

"Your mother is dying, how can I keep my voice down?" Mr. Qiao's eyes were red with anxiety. "Xiaoyue just called and said that your mother was hit by someone at the entrance of the community, and that person wouldn't let her go to the hospital. Isn't that just watching her die?"

Tang Xia frowned: "There shouldn't be such an outrageous person in our neighborhood, right?"

Besides, even if it were true, would the people around not care?

She always felt there was something fishy about this.

But Mr. Qiao wouldn't listen to a word she said. He grabbed her and pulled her outside, crying, "You can't abandon your mother!"

Helpless, Tang Xia could only comfort her, "Okay, I'll go take a look now. You don't need to come with me. I'm worried about leaving Niannian home alone."

"Okay, okay, I won't go, you go right now!"

The only two umbrellas in the house were taken away by Lin Yiyue and Qiao's mother.

With no other option, Tang Xia had to go out in the rain.

Mr. Qiao was very emotional just now and didn't say a single useful piece of information.

It took Tang Xia asking several people before someone finally told her that an accident had indeed occurred at the East Gate, and a large crowd had gathered.

By the time she arrived at the East Gate, most of the people had already left.

The so-called "Mother Qiao" being hit by a car turned out to be a bicycle ridden by a little boy.

Moreover, judging from the injuries, it seems that the little boy was more seriously injured.

Tang Xia immediately went over, helped the little boy up, and asked, "Are you alright? Do you need to go to the hospital?"

When Qiao's mother saw her arrive, instead of comforting her immediately, she went to care about the little bastard. She was so angry that she stood up from the ground and said, "Tang Xia, look carefully, who is your mother!"

Tang Xia was utterly helpless: "Mom, that's not what I meant."

Fortunately, a kind person nearby said that they had already called an ambulance.

Tang Xia felt relieved and returned to Qiao's mother's side.

"Mom, are you okay?"

"How could I be alright! I was just walking along the road when this little brat suddenly bumped into me!"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than someone who couldn't stand it any longer stood up and said, "Don't lie through your teeth. It was clearly your own fault for not watching where you were going. The child fell and got hurt because of you. As for you, you didn't even get a scratch on your clothes. There are security cameras all around here. Don't take advantage of your age to bully people!"

Upon hearing that there was surveillance footage, Qiao's mother finally fell silent.

Tang Xia felt that this fact was simply too absurd.

But when I thought about how she was Qiao's mother, it seemed normal.

She glanced at Lin Yiyue, who was standing silently to the side, and couldn't help but say, "Miss Lin, do you really need to call me over to handle something like this?"

Lin Yiyue's eyes darted around before she smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you know I'm gentle and not good at arguing. I was just worried that Auntie would get hurt, so I thought I'd call you over."

"Alright, you two stop talking and hurry up and help me home. When Zhiyu gets back, I'll definitely make him teach that little bastard a lesson!"

When Tang Xia got home, she was completely soaked.

Qiao's mother lay on the ground and threw a tantrum, but she didn't get any better.

Lin Yiyue, on the other hand, was clean and dry, not getting wet at all.

"An An, Mom is back."

Lin Yiyue called out from the doorway.

Strangely, the child who usually comes running when called only glanced at the door today before hiding back inside.

Tang Xia vaguely felt that in that glance, he seemed to be looking at her.

Before she could think it through, Qiao Zhiyu was also called back by a phone call.

"Is Mom alright?"

Seeing him panting heavily, Qiao's mother felt sorry for him again and quickly waved her hand, saying, "It's nothing. I just thought that little brat was playing too wildly and wanted to teach him a lesson."

Tang Xia knew this would happen.

She was exhausted and prepared to go back to her room to change her clothes.

Just as I reached the door, a gust of wind blew it open.

Startled, she rushed inside!

Sure enough, the bedroom window was open!

But she made sure she locked it before she left!

Tang Xia didn't have time to think about who opened the window. When she saw her daughter on the bed, her face was flushed and she was having trouble breathing, she was already on the verge of collapse!

"Niannian! Niannian, are you alright? Don't scare your mother!"

People outside heard her cry and came in.

Qiao Zhiyu stepped forward and, upon seeing the child's condition, immediately determined that the child had likely caught a cold and had a fever.

"Quick! Zhiyu, get Niannian to the hospital! She has congenital heart disease; she can't afford to get sick!"

As she spoke, Tang Xia's tears were completely unstoppable.

Niannian is everything to her; if anything happens to the child, she won't want to live!

"Okay, my car is downstairs."

Tang Xia had just carried Niannian to the door when Lin Yiyue, who had been perfectly fine, suddenly fainted.

Qiao Zhiyu was about to go check on the situation when a cold hand grabbed hers.

I looked up and saw a face streaked with tears, a face filled with despair.

"No, Zhiyu, don't go... Please, please don't go..."

She was faking it...

"I'll just go take a look. Niannian only has a fever, she'll be fine."

As Qiao Zhiyu spoke, he withdrew his hand.

At this moment, Tang Xia felt utterly hopeless.
