After being reborn, the scumbag CEO begs me to remarry him every day.
Chapter 9 Changing the Locks
Tang Xia walked quickly to the entrance of the Western restaurant.
At this time, not only is it impossible to hail a taxi, but there are also no bus stops or subway stations nearby.
A gust of cold wind blew, and Tang Xia couldn't help but wrap her suit jacket tighter around herself again.
Just then, the Maybach that had just brought her slowly drove up and stopped in front of her.
The driver walked around from the driver's seat and opened the door for her: "Ms. Tang, Mr. Jin asked me to take you home."
Thinking about what had just happened in the restaurant, Tang Xia couldn't help but feel embarrassed again.
Just as she was about to wave her hand and say no, the driver advised again, "It's not easy to get a taxi around here, and besides, Miss Tang, you shouldn't be exposed to cold winds right now."
Yes, a normal woman is still in her postpartum confinement period after giving birth, but she has to watch her husband being affectionate with other women.
Tang Xia couldn't help but laugh at herself.
She then thanked the driver and bent down to get into the car.
Niannian's health is not yet fully recovered; she cannot afford any accidents.
Perhaps Jin Xinghan had already investigated everything about her, because the driver didn't ask for the address and accurately took her back to the Qiao family.
Before getting out of the car, Tang Xia intended to return Jin Xinghan's suit jacket to the driver, but the moment she handed it over, she noticed that there were some milk stains on the inside.
She immediately withdrew her hand and nervously hugged the clothes to her chest.
"I'll wash the clothes and return them to your CEO, Mr. Jin."
The driver simply nodded and smiled, watching her enter the residential area before driving away.
Tang Xia walked to her front door and pressed her thumb on the fingerprint lock.
But after several attempts, it failed each time.
She changed her password to numeric, but it showed that the password was incorrect.
If she hadn't repeatedly checked the house number, she might have thought she had gone to the wrong place.
The elevator doors behind me opened.
"Why are you here?"
It's Qiao Zhinuan.
After she brought Tang Xia a bowl of leftovers as a postpartum meal, the two never contacted each other again.
Tang Xia looked at her sister-in-law with cold eyes.
Qiao Zhinu thought the other woman was interested in her new dress, so she deliberately twirled around in front of her and boasted, "This is a Dior dress. My brother bought it for me. You probably can't afford it in your whole life. And..." Her eyes were fixed on Tang Xia's lower abdomen, which was covered by loose clothes, and her tone was full of malice: "Your figure is out of shape now, so you probably can't wear it either."
But in fact, Tang Xia's figure was not greatly affected by childbirth.
When she was pregnant, her in-laws not only failed to understand her pregnancy and take good care of her, but they also continued to make her do chores every day.
She does laundry, cooks, and sometimes even stays up all night to write papers for Qiao Zhinuan.
Even after the baby was full-term, she had only gained less than ten pounds compared to before she was pregnant.
It's all because of the Qiao family!
Tang Xia closed her eyes, concealing all her hatred.
She praised without expression, "The dress is pretty, but the one Lin Yiyue is wearing is even prettier."
Qiao Zhinuan didn't know what she meant by those words.
"You ran into Sister Yue? Are you deliberately trying to cause her trouble? You jealous and vicious woman!"
Tang Xia curled her lips into a smile, but her eyes were filled with coldness: "It seems you don't know, your brother took Lin Yiyue and her daughter to a particularly expensive Western restaurant for dinner."
At this point, Tang Xia smiled and looked at the other person, "It's fine if you don't take me, but you also have the surname Qiao. Your brother would rather take outsiders to eat than take you."
She knew her sister-in-law's temperament well.
Jealous?
If Qiao Zhinuan says she's second, no one dares to claim first.
Qiao Zhinuan did not believe Tang Xia's words.
But just then, Lin Yiyue posted a message on her WeChat Moments, with the background of that very popular Western restaurant.
In the group photo, the "family of three" are all smiling sweetly.
Qiao Zhinuan immediately exploded and called her brother.
As soon as the call connected, she started wailing loudly without giving Qiao Zhiyu a chance to speak.
The two old men who had been pretending to be dead finally opened the door.
They value their reputation above all else and would certainly not allow Qiao Zhinuan to embarrass herself in public like this.
As soon as the door opened, Tang Xia walked right past them.
The old man was still grabbing Tang Xia's arm, pointing his finger at her nose and cursing, "What kind of daughter-in-law are you? You don't even greet your elders? You have no manners at all!"
Tang Xia suppressed her anger and shook off her hand.
"How can you be such in-laws? I went through the ordeal of childbirth in the hospital, and instead of taking care of me, you didn't even come to visit once. Do you even know that Niannian is still in the ICU!"
Tang Xia couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat when she thought of that child with such a tragic fate.
Mr. and Mrs. Qiao did not think they had done anything wrong. Instead, they blamed her, saying, "It's all because your womb is not cooperating. How come other people can give birth to healthy boys, but you gave birth to a girl, and she's sick too. It's bad luck for the child to have a mother like you."
Tang Xia's eyes were filled with shock.
Mr. and Mrs. Qiao are both highly educated, and their son is a doctor. How could they say such shameless and ignorant things!
She clenched her fists tightly and said coldly to the two of them, "I will remember what my in-laws said today."
From now on, Niannian will only be her daughter, and will have no relation to the Qiao family.
After saying that, she turned and went back to her room.
Not intending to let her off the hook, Qiao's mother chased after her to the door: "Now that you're back, wash the dishes. It's just having a baby, who hasn't had one? Don't try to slack off."
Tang Xia locked the door from the inside, put on noise-canceling headphones, and refused to listen to the two old men's nonsense anymore.
She looked around and found a silk slip dress under her pillow.
This extremely seductive style is clearly not hers.
My sister-in-law wouldn't wear this at home, and my mother-in-law would never wear it either.
Suddenly, Lin Yiyue's fair and delicate face appeared before my eyes.
Tang Xia didn't know if Lin Yiyue had slept in her bed during her hospitalization.
Standing here now, she only feels nauseous and wants to vomit.
She threw all the bedding on the floor, but the nightgown was neatly placed on the table.
Qiao Zhiyu will see it as soon as he returns.
But that wasn't her ultimate goal.
Tang Xia returned this time to investigate Qiao Zhiyu's assets.
Over the years, she has not worked, and Qiao Zhiyu has never handed over his salary card, only transferring a few thousand yuan to her every month as living expenses.
Every expense has to be recorded, and at the end of the month, the expenses have to be checked by the parents-in-law.
She thought that by doing this she would be praised as a virtuous wife and loving mother, but little did she know that this was not praise at all, but shackles, an endless form of psychological manipulation against her!
Tang Xia composed herself, opened the drawer, and began searching for the family's bankbooks and property certificate.
Although Qiao Zhiyu was stingy, he trusted her completely.
He didn't hide these things from her when he accepted them, as if he was certain she would never betray him.
But when she opened the safe, she found it was completely empty.
The property ownership certificate and bankbook are missing.
There is only one family photo.
Ironically, she and Niannian are not in this family photo; only Lin Yiyue and An'an are.
It looks like it was taken just recently.
Then the property certificate and bankbook should also be in her possession.
Tang Xia had no doubt about this possibility.
After all, they were able to change the door locks while I was in the hospital, so what else couldn't they do?
