The phone line was noisy.

Tang Xia couldn't quite hear what she was saying.

"Landlady? Landlady, are you alright?"

"Hurry up and come here! This lunatic! Hey, don't touch my things, I'm calling the police!"

Then, a busy signal came from the phone.

The two people next to them also heard it.

Song Zhiruo asked with a worried expression, "I hope nothing bad has happened. But why did your ex-landlord call you?"

"It might be my ex-husband's family."

They probably don't know that she's moved into the Jin family's house.

And somehow they found out about the house she used to rent.

"Engineer Liang, I'd like to ask for leave today," Tang Xia said.

"Okay," Liang Jingfang agreed, but then added, "I'll go with you."

In an instant, Song Zhiruo's expression turned ugly.

Tang Xia quickly waved her hand and said no need.

He picked up his bag and left.

Liang Jingfang tried to catch up, but his arm was grabbed.

"What are you doing? People are dealing with their own family matters, what's it to you?"

Liang Jingfang rubbed his hair in frustration: "I'm just worried about her safety. You heard what was going on on the phone just now; who knows what kind of madman it is."

"Oh, who are you to her? What's your relationship with her that you're so worried? If anyone should be worried, it should be President Jin." Song Zhiruo couldn't help but be sarcastic.

"Fine, if I don't want to go, I don't want to go."

Liang Jingfang was too lazy to argue with her.

He loosened his tie and returned to his office in anger.

Song Zhiruo sat at her workstation and angrily punched the doll she was holding on her lap.

I don't know whether to mistake it for Tang Xia or Liang Jingfang.

the other side.

Tang Xia took a taxi to the place where she had previously rented a room.

I chose this place specifically for commuting, so it's very close to the company; I can get there in ten minutes.

Although this is an older neighborhood, the environment is quite nice.

As soon as Tang Xia entered, she saw a crowd gathered downstairs.

She randomly asked someone what was going on.

"Auntie, may I ask what happened?"

"What a disaster! This morning, a crazy old woman suddenly came to Old Li's house, insisting that she was looking for someone named Tang, claiming she was her daughter-in-law. I've lived here for so many years, do you think I don't know if there is such a person here? She doesn't believe me and insists on causing trouble. Poor Old Li's daughter, she's heavily pregnant."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xia was also greatly shocked.

He quickly thanked her and rushed inside.

The landlord's house is on the second floor.

When Tang Xia ran up, she saw two disheveled women wrestling together.

There was a pregnant woman standing at the top of the stairs.

"Stop fighting! Stop fighting!"

Tang Xia stepped forward and separated the two.

But they seemed to be fighting so fiercely that they couldn't hear anyone's voice.

Tang Xia was slapped several times for no reason.

I don't know who did it.

While trying to break up the fight, Tang Xia took a moment to ask the pregnant woman standing next to her, "Sister, did you call the police?"

The pregnant woman was taken aback for a moment, then quickly nodded: "I reported it, and the police said they are on their way here."

"You...you move aside, so I don't bump into you."

"it is good."

The pregnant woman carefully moved to the side.

Tang Xia threw her bag on the ground, rolled up her sleeves, grabbed one of the people around the waist, gritted her teeth, and pulled him back with all her might.

"Who is it?! Which malicious person is it? Can't you see I'm having a good fight? I'll tear this old woman's mouth apart!"

"Landlady, it's me! Tang Xia!!"

As soon as the sound came out, the two people who were hurling insults at each other finally stopped.

The landlady turned around and immediately began wiping away her tears.

"Miss Tang, you've finally arrived! Look at your mother-in-law! Is she even human? I told her you don't live here, but she wouldn't believe me. She insisted on barging into the house. When I tried to stop her, she started banging on the door with a stick, scaring my daughter so much that she started moving in the womb!"

"Hehe, isn't this person here?"

Qiao's mother had a terrifyingly cold look in her eyes.

She walked step by step toward Tang Xia, sneering as she went: "You've hidden yourself well, haven't you? If you don't live here, which scoundrel's house are you staying at?"

Tang Xia frowned: "I'm divorced from your son and have nothing to do with your Qiao family. Why should I let you find me? Haven't you bled me dry enough over the years?"

As Qiao's mother got closer and closer, the landlady directly blocked her way.

She felt somewhat guilty for going back on her word and not renting the house to Tang Xia.

A single woman with a newborn baby already faces a difficult life.

But she herself wasn't doing well either.

Everyone has their own difficulties.

"Old woman, stay away from her! I'm warning you, the police are coming soon, and they'll lock you up and you'll behave!"

Qiao's mother paused in her steps.

Her sinister gaze remained fixed on Tang Xia.

A slightly hoarse voice rang out: "I just have something I want to ask her, to find out the truth. Whoever wants to arrest me, let them arrest me."

Looking at the woman in front of him, who was so thin she was almost unrecognizable, Tang Xia felt a strange sense of emotion.

A few years ago, she was such a spirited and energetic person.

Even recently, I haven't felt this dejected.

Actually, she could roughly guess why Qiao's mother had come.

The tonics she left behind should have been used up long ago.

Qiao's mother will definitely take the residue and find someone to remix it.

The fact that it contained aphrodisiacs will most likely come out soon.

Tang Xia patted the landlady's shoulder and said softly, "It's alright, landlady. She was looking for me anyway. I'm sorry to have troubled you."

"It's alright, I've seen plenty of wicked mothers-in-law like this."

After saying that, he glanced back at his daughter meaningfully.

Qiao's mother's face turned ashen.

But after all, the person she wanted to find was Tang Xia.

He glared fiercely at the landlady.

Tang Xia and she arrived at the end of the second-floor corridor.

"Let's get straight to the point. What do you want to ask?" Tang Xia said coldly.

Mrs. Qiao sneered and said sarcastically, "I've taken care of you for so many years, what, now that you've divorced my son, you don't even call me 'Mom' anymore?"

"You deserve it too!"

Qiao's mother gritted her teeth: "Tang Xia! Did you switch out that tonic?!"

"Tonic medicine? What kind of tonic medicine?"

Tang Xia asked the question knowing the answer, and began to play dumb.

She wanted to make Qiao's mother reveal her son's situation, to make this always arrogant woman personally tear off her veil of shame!

as predicted.

Qiao's mother's expression changed repeatedly.

She really didn't want to lose face in front of others, especially Tang Xia!

But for the sake of her son, she had no choice but to speak up.

"Did you switch those tonics for aphrodisiacs?!"

Qiao's mother almost ground her teeth to powder.

Looking at her face, Tang Xia felt a mixture of satisfaction and pity.

She's just another pitiful woman, devoured by her family and responsibilities.

"Mom, when you stole my tonic for your son, did you ever think about this day?"

After saying that, Tang Xia turned and left.

Just as she reached the top of the stairs, she suddenly heard Qiao's mother's angry roar from behind.

"Tang Xia! You bitch!"
