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

Jin Xinghan's words can be considered as resolving a knot in Tang Xia's heart.

At least, she won't be so timid and insecure when facing Liang Jingfang anymore.

"Let's go, let's take you home."

"Mr. Jin, I...I don't want to go back."

Tang Xia no longer referred to that place as "home".

The thought of those two people rolling around in her bed, and of the silk pajamas she saw that day clinging to other people's bodies, made her feel nauseous.

"Then... why don't you go stay with Jin Yao? She was just complaining to me that she's a little scared living alone and wants you to come and keep her company."

Actually, what Jin Xinghan originally wanted to say was that he wanted Jin Xinghan to come and stay at his place.

But he was worried that he might scare her, so he turned around and dragged Jin Yao out.

Tang Xia hesitated.

This is indeed a good idea.

Jin Yao's place is quite close to both the hospital and the construction site, making it convenient for her to travel between the two. More importantly, it also makes it easier for them to discuss their divorce case together.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Jin."

This is Tang Xia's first time visiting Jin Yao's place.

Compared to her slightly revealing work clothes, the villa in front of her was more befitting of her status as a wealthy young lady.

This made Tang Xia even more curious: what kind of faith could make her work so hard every day for a two-thousand-yuan internship salary that she didn't even have time to eat?

Perhaps Jin Xinghan had already told Jin Yao in advance, because she was already standing at the door waiting.

As soon as Tang Xia got out of the car, she rushed over and exclaimed excitedly, "My brother really did kidnap you! That's great, I don't have to sleep alone tonight!"

"Ahem." Jin Xinghan coughed lightly, then warned, "She has to go to work tomorrow. Just do your own thing and don't bother her."

Jin Yao, relying on her current powerful backer, is not afraid of her brother at all.

"Tch, why should I listen to you? Besides, Tang Xia is so tired, shouldn't you reflect on whether your company is mistreating its employees?"

This was the first time Tang Xia had ever seen Jin Xinghan with a look of utter discomfiture on his face, and she couldn't help but chuckle.

Jin Xinghan could only sigh helplessly, "Alright, I'll go back first."

"Bye-Bye."

Goodbye, Mr. Jin.

Staying with Jin Yao, there's no need to worry about clothes or anything else.

Her walk-in closet was even bigger than Tang Xia's bedroom.

Jin Yao happily showed her, "Pick whatever you like, I've never worn many of these before."

Why buy it if you're not going to wear it?

"I didn't want to either," Jin Yao sighed. "Who would have thought that I would look so disheveled every day in this class, with no time or energy to dress up properly?"

"Then why do you want to work there?"

"For ideals and freedom!"

After Jin Yao finished speaking, she suddenly giggled: "Sister Tang Xia, you also think I'm particularly childish, right?"

Tang Xia shook her head: "No, you're great. You're the most responsible lawyer I've ever met."

When she praises someone, her face is full of sincerity.

This is why Jin Yao chose to become close to her.

Because of her social circle, she was used to scheming and deceit from a young age.

Including how her brother became a victim of power struggles within a wealthy family, all of this made her utterly disgusted with that environment.

But she also understood that if she left that circle and relied solely on herself, she would never make a name for herself.

Everyone thought she was energetic and driven.

But so far, only Tang Xia seems to have seen through her inner confusion and struggle.

After washing up, the two sisters lay on the same bed, finally having a chance to have a good heart-to-heart talk.

The conversation naturally inevitably turned to Jin Xinghan.

They are actually just cousins; they weren't close when they were young.

However, Jin Xinghan's relatives were all gone one by one, and gradually, the two of them reconnected.

"My brother is actually quite pitiful, although I'm not keen on using the word 'pitiful' to describe him."

Everyone only saw his glamorous side, but they didn't know the pain in his heart.

He was born with congenital heart disease and lost both parents at a young age. His grandfather used the last of his life to secure his position in the world before passing away as well.

He truly has no relatives left.

"Sister Tang Xia, actually I really hope that someone will love him."

Tang Xia smiled faintly: "There must be quite a few people who love him. Just in the company, people secretly go to see him every day."

Jin Yao was getting anxious: "How many of those people are sincere! They're either after his body or his money!"

"Then how can you be so sure that I'm not someone who covets wealth and status?"

Tang Xia hit the nail on the head.

She had known all along that Jin Yao's purpose was simply to bring her and Jin Xinghan together.

Regardless of whether Jin Xinghan has feelings for her or not, she herself doesn't want to enter into a new relationship for the time being.

Jin Yao felt a little guilty and shook Tang Xia's shoulder coquettishly: "Even if I were the reincarnation of Qin Shi Huang, you would never be someone who covets wealth and status. I, Jin Yao, am quite good at judging people, okay? Okay, okay, I won't say it again."

"You."

Tang Xia could only indulge her out of necessity.

-

For several days in a row, Tang Xia was so busy at the construction site that she barely had time to rest.

But Song Zhiruo didn't even see a shadow of her.

If it weren't for her social media posts, where she's always either drinking at this bar or checking in at that trendy restaurant, Tang Xia would have been genuinely worried that something had happened to her.

These past few days, Liang Jingfang has been personally supervising the construction site.

Tang Xia followed him and learned a lot as well.

Although he could be quite rude at times, Tang Xia almost punched him several times.

"Alright, that's enough for today. You can go home now."

Seeing that Tang Xia's nose was red from the cold, Liang Jingfang started nagging again: "Wearing so little, do you think this is still an office?"

Tang Xia ignored him.

But thinking of Song Zhiruo, he couldn't help but remind her, "Teacher Liang, haven't you gone to see Zhiruo these past few days? Aren't you worried about her at all?"

"Why worry about her? You've seen it yourself, her life is pretty exciting every day."

Sometimes, Tang Xia also felt that this man was too much of a straight man.

I don't know what Song Zhiruo likes about him.

“Teacher Liang, it’s obvious that Zhiruo is waiting for someone to coax her. You know the whole story from last time. It was that person in charge who looked down on us first. It wasn’t her fault. She likes you so much, and she was scolded in public by you. She must feel terrible.”

Liang Jingfang suddenly stared at her.

After a while, he sighed and said, "Are you misunderstanding something? I only see her as a younger sister."

That sounds like something a scumbag would say.

Before Tang Xia could say anything more, Liang Jingfang's pupils suddenly contracted sharply: "Get out of the way!"

Tang Xia was stunned for a moment.

Before she could react, Liang Jing, who was standing opposite her, pulled her into his arms.

Tang Xia only heard a muffled groan.

"Teacher Liang?!"

Those nearby noticed what was happening and began to shout in panic.

"Help! Something's happened! Someone's been hit by falling debris!"
