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

Tang Xia stopped downstairs at the hotel.

She is no longer the woman who obeyed Qiao Zhiyu blindly in her previous life. Since the trajectory of her fate has been changed, what awaits her is probably not a good thing.

"Qiao Zhiyu, I've arrived. I'm downstairs. What do you want to say?"

Qiao Zhiyu also understood that if he didn't reveal something, Tang Xia wouldn't have come up at all.

Soon, Tang Xia received a photo.

The photo turned out to be a paternity test report.

The witnesses were Tang Xia and her father.

Tang Xia's eyes widened immediately.

how come?

Why would a father secretly get a paternity test?

Does he think I'm not his biological child?!

But Qiao Zhiyu had a backup plan; he cut out the section on the test results.

Tang Xia knew that this meant she was being forced to go up there.

She took a deep breath and sent her location to Jin Yao.

If I haven't replied to your message in half an hour, please call the police for me.

After sending the message, she entered the elevator.

To her surprise, when she opened the door, Lin Yiyue was standing inside.

Tang Xia frowned: "What are you doing here?"

Since things had already come to a head, Lin Yiyue stopped pretending and adopted the demeanor of a legitimate wife: "Sister-in-law, you don't really think that Brother Zhiyu still wants to see you, do you? Let me tell you the truth, before he met you, Brother Zhiyu had already fallen in love with me. He married you only to fulfill the task of continuing the family line. You are just a substitute for me."

In Lin Yiyue's imagination, Tang Xia would be angry, disappointed, and shouting when she heard these words.

But the woman in front of him remained calm.

Lin Yiyue even doubted whether she had understood what she was saying.

Tang Xia understood.

But she just felt that there was no point in saying these things now.

"Lin Yiyue, I don't care what you want to do. In short, it was Qiao Zhiyu who called me here today. As long as he tells me what I want to know, I will divorce him immediately. After that, what happens between you two is none of my business."

Lin Yiyue stared at her for a long time.

Suddenly she smiled charmingly and said, "Sister-in-law, it would have been better if you had said that earlier. It was my fault just now. I was too petty and said some unpleasant things. You're not angry, are you?"

Tang Xia didn't know what she was up to this time, but she remained vigilant.

Lin Yiyue continued, "Sister-in-law, I really feel sorry for you about what happened between Zhiyu and me, but we truly love each other, and I hope you can understand."

After saying that, she stepped aside to make room for him: "Why don't you come in and wait? Brother Zhiyu has something come up and will be here soon."

"He asked me to come, but then he had something come up at the last minute?" Tang Xia frowned in confusion.

Lin Yiyue calmly explained, "Sister-in-law, the hotel receptionist just said that a guest suddenly fell ill. Brother Zhiyu rushed over to save him as soon as he heard the news. He's a doctor; how could he not go in such a life-or-death situation?"

Tang Xia has doubts about the veracity of this matter.

But Lin Yiyue was alone in the room, so she probably couldn't cause much trouble.

"Then I'll wait for him here."

Tang Xia entered the room with a cold face.

As Lin Yiyue closed the door, an extremely sinister smile appeared on her face.

She turned around and became that delicate, manipulative woman again.

"Sister-in-law, would you like some tea?"

"No need." Tang Xia's attitude remained extremely cold. "Also, since you've already decided to be with Qiao Zhiyu, you don't need to call me sister-in-law anymore. It's disgusting."

Lin Yiyue's smile froze slightly.

But it recovered quickly.

She poured Tang Xia a glass of water and handed it to her.

Tang Xia did not answer.

Lin Yiyue had no choice but to reluctantly place it in front of her.

Then she sat down and began to sigh.

"Tang Xia, you can't really blame me. If you have to blame someone, you can only blame yourself for not being able to give the Qiao family a grandson. You need to know how important it is for a man to carry on the family line."

"Lin Yiyue!" Tang Xia interrupted loudly, "Even if you didn't graduate from university, you still received nine years of compulsory education, right? How can you accept such feudal and backward ideas?"

"How could I not accept it?!" Something Tang Xia said suddenly triggered her, and Lin Yiyue abruptly stood up, her voice rising considerably. "If it weren't for saving money for my brother's dowry, why would I give up everything and go abroad with an old man?!"

Tang Xia suddenly froze.

She genuinely didn't know about it.

Lin Yiyue turned her head away, but tears were already falling uncontrollably.

Although Tang Xia could not accept her actions, she felt sympathy for her based on this one incident alone.

A piece of paper was handed to Lin Yiyue.

She paused for a moment, then took it.

"Thank you."

Lin Yiyue's emotions came and went quickly.

They quickly resumed their laughter and chatter.

If Tang Xia hadn't caught that fleeting moment of hatred, she probably would have thought she was just acting.

However, because of this, Tang Xia lowered her guard against her somewhat.

As she spoke, Lin Yiyue reminded him again, "Have some water, otherwise, when Zhiyu comes back, he'll say I'm mistreating you."

Tang Xia picked up her water glass.

But through the water in the cup, she could see the twisted expression on the face of the person sitting opposite her.

She paused for a moment and said, "I think I heard someone knocking on the door. Do you want to go check it out?"

"Really?" Lin Yiyue asked back, but she didn't doubt it.

He stood up and went to open the door.

There was indeed no one outside the door.

She said that the agreed time with that person hadn't arrived yet, so why would they come early?

"no one."

"Really? Then maybe I heard it wrong."

Lin Yiyue walked back to the sofa and found that Tang Xia's cup was empty.

The moment her scheme succeeded, she could barely hide the smile on her face.

Now, all we need to do is wait quietly for the medicine to take effect...

Before long, Tang Xia felt hot and her head began to spin.

No... how could this be?

She clearly didn't drink that glass of water.

Lin Yiyue noticed her unusual behavior and walked up to her smugly.

I glanced at the carpet at her feet and sure enough, there was a puddle of water.

"I knew you wouldn't listen to me. Sure enough, Brother Zhiyu understands you best."

When Lin Yiyue said this, her tone was extremely jealous.

She reached out and gripped Tang Xia's chin tightly, a deep jealousy flashing in her eyes as she looked at that near-perfect face.

"Tell me, if I disfigure you, will any man ever want you again?"

Tang Xia pursed her lips tightly and didn't make a sound.

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

Lin Yiyue immediately became happy.

"Sister-in-law, you must enjoy the surprise I prepared for you."

However, what she saw when she opened the door was a look of sudden terror on her face—

"How could it be you?!"
