At this moment, Qiao Zhinuan was so nervous that she almost stopped breathing.

Those in the front row also realized that what Tang Xia had just splashed was not boiling water at all, but just lukewarm water.

It seems that Tang Xia already knew that her leg was fine, and that's why she was deliberately testing her.

"That's not right. I've seen the hospital's test results, and it does say it's a comminuted fracture."

"But a comminuted fracture won't heal that quickly, will it?"

Finally, some people started to question it.

After the first person spoke, more and more people followed suit.

"I'm so worried. Qiao Zhinuan's older brother is a doctor at the hospital, right? Could it be that the medical record was actually written by her brother on purpose?"

“No, that’s not the case…”

By this point, even Qiao Zhinuan's voices of rebuttal had become much quieter.

This is enough to show just how guilty she is.

The surrounding doubts grew louder and louder, and Qiao Zhinuan's face grew paler and paler.

This was a situation that Tang Xia had anticipated long ago.

A persona built on false lies is like a bubble; it bursts at the slightest touch.

This is why she let Qiao Zhinu do as she pleased for so many days.

If she seizes just one opportunity to let everyone know that Qiao Zhinuan is a habitual liar, she will completely lose everyone's trust.

Most people are blind and conformist.

Qiao Zhinu thought she had a firm grasp on other people's psychology, but in reality, she only had a superficial understanding.

Seeing that she was on the verge of a breakdown, Wang Xiaoyu didn't say a word. He simply pushed her back into the wheelchair, picked up his coat and draped it over her shoulders, and without a word, pushed her out of the office.

The crowd was left completely bewildered.

They looked at each other, but no one stepped forward to ask Tang Xia, the person involved.

Before long, all the colleagues who had been watching the show dispersed.

There were also a few who were aggressive from the start and didn't leave.

They still seemed convinced that Tang Xia was that vicious and jealous woman.

Thinking of her earlier probing of Qiao Zhinuan, one of them sneered and said, "I didn't expect you to be so cunning. Your previous harmless act was probably all an act. I advise you to be careful, you'll slip up sooner or later."

Tang Xia couldn't even remember the names of these people.

I never imagined that I had offended them in any way, or at any time.

But if you want to find fault, you can always find a pretext.

Tang Xia ignored them.

Seeing that she didn't react, the group pushed each other and left.

My ears are finally at peace.

Tang Xia unconsciously let out a breath.

But as she sat in front of the computer, she couldn't help but recall the words Jin Xinghan had said in the CEO's office.

Actually, she had already figured it out on the way back.

Putting aside the complexity of the multinational project, she was still unsure whether she could handle it.

Her daughter is only a few months old; she couldn't possibly abandon her child and go abroad.

I was too impatient.

As soon as they hear about an opportunity, they can't help but want to seize it.

"It's okay!" Tang Xia quickly composed herself and comforted herself: "In such a huge Chinese market, isn't there room for me to make a difference? I don't necessarily have to go abroad."

This might be a shortcut.

But she could also choose not to leave.

After this "medical miracle" incident, Qiao Zhinuan did not appear at the company for several days in a row.

Wang Xiaoyu, however, still goes to work on time every day.

However, the look in his eyes as he gazed at Tang Xia grew increasingly dark and terrifying.

Several times, she wanted to have a proper talk with the other person.

However, Wang Xiaoyu was clearly avoiding her.

A few more days passed.

Liang Jingfang and Song Zhiruo have finally returned.

"This is really terrible! How can those people be so difficult to deal with? I mean, does Huanyu really have to take on this project?" Song Zhiruo slumped in her chair, unable to help but complain.

Liang Jingfang glanced at her sideways: "You don't want to take this one, and you don't want to take that one. With so many people in Huanyu, are you all just waiting to starve?"

Song Zhiruo, realizing she was in the wrong, shrugged and said nothing more.

Then, their conversation turned to Tang Xia.

"Sis, has your sister-in-law been giving you any trouble lately? I heard in the group chat that she seemed to have broken her leg. What happened? They were posting so fast I didn't see it clearly."

“She went to the construction site with me that day, wearing such high heels!” Tang Xia held up her hand, indicating the length.

Song Zhiruo gasped in surprise: "She's a true warrior!"

"They're really idiots."

Liang Jingfang's sharp-tongued persona remains intact, and he continues to deliver the finishing blow.

The two of them laughed so hard they were doubled over.

Song Zhiruo couldn't help but ask again, "How can someone like that get into the design department? Teacher Liang, you didn't actually accept a bribe, did you?"

Liang Jingfang also sighed deeply.

"I really didn't. I've already explained it before. I owe the HR director a favor that I have to repay. But I'm also curious, he's such a tightwad, how did Qiao Zhinu get involved with him?"

"I know!"

Song Zhiruo raised her hand triumphantly.

Tang Xia also looked over curiously.

"It's a long story..."

"Make it quick!" Liang Jingfang glared at him impatiently.

"Alright, alright. But before that, I have to talk about someone."

"Who?"

"Su Wan from the Human Resources Department."

Liang Jingfang frowned: "Who is this again?"

Judging from Tang Xia's expression, she clearly recognized her.

Song Zhiruo stopped paying attention to Liang Jingfang and continued, "Su Wan was promoted by that miser himself. More importantly, there are rumors that Su Wan and he have an affair."

"Then what does this have to do with Qiao Zhinuan?" Liang Jingfang asked, puzzled.

“I saw them having dinner together a few days ago.” Song Zhiruo stretched: “Isn’t it quite common for someone to whisper sweet nothings in their lover’s ear and secure a job for their best friend?”

An idea suddenly flashed into Tang Xia's mind.

Since Su Wan and Qiao Zhinuan know each other, it seems that everything that happened recently can be connected.

Because of Qiao Zhinuan's relationship with Wang Xiaoyu, Su Wan was able to find him and write a negative evaluation on her promotion assessment.

As a result, her application for a permanent position failed.

Su Wan must have made a deal with Qiao Zhinuan to use her relationship with the HR director to place Qiao Zhinuan in the design department.

No wonder the news about her and Qiao Zhinuan spread so quickly.

Su Wan's instigation was probably a significant factor in this.

"Sis, what are you thinking about?"

Seeing that she was in a daze, Song Zhiruo nudged her arm.

After hesitating for a moment, Tang Xia decided to keep the matter a secret.

Clearly, both Su Wan and Qiao Zhinuan were after him.

She shouldn't have dragged other people into this.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking that this weekend is a rare sunny day, and I wanted to take Niannian out for a walk in nature. Dr. Wen also said that she is in good condition now and can slowly start to interact with the outside world."

Song Zhiruo was thus brushed off.

Suddenly, Tang Xia's phone rang.

He was her former landlord.

Tang Xia frowned and answered the call.

On the day of the phone call, a heart-wrenching wail immediately followed.

"Tang Xia, come quick! There's a crazy old woman here!!!"
