Her ex-husband was too cold; after being reborn, she hid her pregnant belly and left her father behi

Yan Lan's words were loaded with meaning, and she spoke very loudly, as if afraid that she wouldn't hear her.

Qiao Weiwei, on the other hand, wore a hypocritical expression of humility.

“Young Madam, Mr. Zhan is just pitying me. I lost my parents when I was young, and I depend on my grandmother for survival. Recently, my grandmother has been sick and hospitalized, and I injured my leg and have no one to take care of me. Mr. Zhan, you are just pitying me, please don’t misunderstand.”

Yan Lan had slanted eyes and a sharp smile.

"The Zhan Group has tens of thousands of employees. None of them have an easy life, and I haven't seen Yan Xun care about anyone. You are special in his heart. Look at you, so beautiful and fresh-faced, I like you at first glance."

Hearing Yan Lan's words, Qiao Weiwei's eyes darted left and right, and she pretended to be embarrassed, saying, "Young Madam, please don't say that. If President Jiang hears this, he will misunderstand."

At this moment, Jiang Qianhui walked in. Qiao Weiwei saw Jiang Qianhui coming over and said in a fluster, "President Jiang, you're back! Please sit down and have some water. These strawberries are so sweet."

Qiao Weiwei greeted Jiang Qianhui warmly; anyone who didn't know better would think Qiao Weiwei was the hostess.

Jiang Qianhui scoffed, "Qiao Weiwei, you have a great personality. You're not shy at all in a new place. It seems like we should transfer you to the public relations department."

Qiao Weiwei said smugly, "President Jiang, the HR department has issued a new order today. I'm being transferred to the President's Office to take over your original position and become President Zhan's secretary."

When Qiao Weiwei talked about taking over her position, she spoke with particular emphasis.

Every single word was an undisguised boast.

Qiao Weiwei knew that Jiang Qianhui must have seen the news and knew that she was now Zhan Yanxun's secretary. She said it on purpose to provoke her.

She stared triumphantly at Jiang Qianhui's face, hoping to see anger on it.

However, Jiang Qianhui remained calm and composed, saying lazily, "Congratulations, you've gotten what you wanted. Zhan Yanxun really is quite considerate of you to make you his secretary."

"President Jiang, the young mistress was just teasing me. Why are you saying that too? Please don't misunderstand, I have no relationship with President Zhan whatsoever."

Qiao Weiwei's explanation was tinged with smugness.

"General Manager Zhan was worried that your character was too bad and the design department wouldn't be able to tolerate you, so he sent you to the secretariat to avoid embarrassing you."

Qiao Weiwei's smile froze; she had fallen into her trap.

"Since you're going to recuperate at the Zhan family's residence, is your room ready? Wu Ma, prepare a maid's room for Miss Qiao to stay in."

The maid, Wu Ma, replied, "Yes, Second Young Mistress."

Yan Lan said with a forced smile, "Qian Sui, Miss Qiao is Yan Xun's guest. It's not appropriate for you to let her stay in the maid's room. Yan Xun will be unhappy if he finds out."

Xie Qingyi stared at Jiang Qianhui with a hint of anger and said, "There are so many guest rooms in the house, can't you let her stay in one? Why do you have to make things so difficult for her?"

Jiang Qianhui wasn't angry. She simply said in a deep and captivating voice, "She's an employee of the Zhan Group, so naturally she should stay in the maid's room. That's the proper way. Besides, Mother-in-law, you're always very particular about class. Someone of her status really can't be considered a guest of the Zhan family."

Qiao Weiwei was so angry she wanted to bite her teeth, but she deliberately lowered her head and said, "President Jiang, I know you hate me and want to make me aware of my status by letting me stay in the maid's room. Actually, you don't need to do this. I also know that I come from a humble background. Since you are not happy with me here, I'd better leave. I only injured my foot, but I can still cook with my hands. I can take care of myself."

Qiao Weiwei spoke pitifully, looking like she was about to leave.

At this moment, Zhan Yanxun appeared.

He frowned slightly, scrutinizing Jiang Qianhui with intense eyes, his voice growing increasingly cold and deep.

"Why make her stay in the maid's room when there are so many guest rooms in the house?"

Jiang Qianhui raised an eyebrow at Zhan Yanxun, her brows exuding an air of nobility, yet her voice was as cold as ice.

"The Zhan Group has so many employees, why did you bring her back? Should we build a sanatorium at the Zhan family mansion so that all the sick or injured employees of the Zhan Group can come and stay?"

Zhan Yanxun's voice was as cold as ice.

"Jiang Qianhui, do you have to argue like this?"

Jiang Qianhui's long eyelashes trembled, and her clear eyes held a suffocating sense of oppression.

"I'm not just arguing, these are the rules!"

Seeing Jiang Qianhui and Zhan Yanxun at each other's throats, Qiao Weiwei felt smug but pretended to be pitiful and said, "President Zhan, it's okay, I'll stay in the maid's room. I'm an employee of Zhan's anyway, so the maid's room is suitable for me."

Yan Lan said from the side, "The nanny's room is very small. Besides a bathroom, there is only a bed. It's cramped to live in. You're here to recuperate, how can you live in such an environment?"

Xie Qingyi said coldly, "How can an injured person live in the maid's room? You can live in the room next to mine. I can still make the decisions in this house."

In the previous life, after Zhan Yanxun brought Qiao Weiwei back, Xie Qingyi completely disregarded Jiang Qianhui's feelings and let Qiao Weiwei live in the room next to hers.

Qiao Weiwei chatted and laughed with her every day, and they were so close that it seemed like they were the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

She tried her best to please Xie Qingyi, but she could never win her favor.

But as soon as Qiao Weiwei arrived, she and Qiao Weiwei hit it off like they were her own daughter.

This made her a laughing stock among the Zhan family's servants, and as she became pregnant, she grew more and more depressed.

Looking back now, I realize that none of them were innocent in the fact that she lost her child in her previous life.

In this life, Xie Qingyi indeed invited Qiao Weiwei to stay in the room next to hers again.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Weiwei pretended to be flattered and said, "Madam Zhan, thank you for liking me so much. I have never experienced maternal love since I was a child. You make me feel very kind, just like my own mother."

Jiang Qianhui snorted coldly. Why didn't she just call her "Mom" directly? Wasn't she feeling a bit stifled?

Xie Qingyi smiled and said, "I like you too. Look how beautiful you are. I feel close to you. You'll live next to me, so it'll be easier for me to take care of you. From now on, treat this place as your home. Don't worry, I'm still in charge here, and no one else has the right to interfere."

How could Jiang Qianhui not know that Xie Qingyi was trying to intimidate her?

She raised her lowered eyes and looked at Xie Qingyi with a smile, saying, "Mother-in-law, actually, I let her live in the nanny's room not to deliberately make things difficult for her."

Besides avoiding criticism, based on her birth date and time in the company employees' records, I deduced that she has a "lone star" destiny, with Yin Wood (卯) as her primary element. The Tianji and Lianzhen stars are in a strong state, but due to the presence of Yin Metal (申), a clash occurs between Metal and Wood, as well as between Yin Wood (卯) and Yin Fire. Therefore, she is destined to bring misfortune to relatives and friends, carrying the aura of a lonely star. Mother-in-law, you have a Metal destiny; getting too close to her will lead to financial loss.”
