"Yang Liyan, someone has reported you for intentionally injuring someone. Come with us to the police station now."

"No, I didn't do it on purpose. I just gave her a light push and she fell down. It's not my fault."

Yang Liyan was frightened. Could it be that Su Qingyan was dead? But no, if Su Qingyan were dead, no one would know that she was the one who pushed her.

Her plan was that if Su Qingyan and her unborn child died, no one would know she was responsible. If Su Qingyan was alright and rescued, with her grandmother and aunt there, her cousin couldn't do anything to her.

"You can't take my granddaughter away. I want to see my grandson Xia Zhiheng."

It wasn't that Wang Fengxian felt sorry for her granddaughter, but rather that if her granddaughter were arrested in her current state, who would take care of her during the day?

"Take them away, don't waste your breath on them," Xia Zhiheng said as he walked in from outside.

"Yes, Deputy Director Xia."

"Cousin, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to, I just accidentally bumped into your wife, and who knew she would lose her balance."

Yang Liyan grabbed Xia Zhiheng with one hand. She couldn't let her be taken away; if her reputation was ruined, how could she ever get married?

"No, Zhiheng, you've already taken Xingwang away, and now you want to take Liyan away too? If you take her away, who will take care of me?"

"Grandma, Yang Liyan not only caused Qingyan to fall, but she also ran away instead of taking her to the hospital."

Xia Zhiheng gave the two policemen a look, pried Yang Liyan's hands apart, and told them to take her away quickly.

"Grandma, help me. Waaah... I really didn't mean to."

She just didn't want to stay home to take care of her grandmother, and she couldn't find a good job right away. Her aunt said her cousin-in-law was going to give birth in a few days and asked her to fill in for her. She didn't want to do temporary work and wanted to take her cousin-in-law's job instead.

So, while buying groceries in the morning, I went to Su Qingyan to ask for a job. Even though her aunt wasn't planning on helping her take care of her child, Su Qingyan was still holding onto her job and wouldn't give it to her. She even insulted her, saying she had a low level of education and wasn't qualified to teach.

She angrily gave Su Qingyan a light shove—it really was just a light shove. Su Qingyan fell, and she was terrified, admitting she was very scared at first. Later, after thinking things through, she wasn't scared anymore, until the police came knocking, at which point she became scared again.

"Xia Zhiheng, what are you trying to do? You've taken Xiaoyan away, who will take care of me now?"

Xia Zhiheng noticed that his grandmother hadn't asked Qingyan a single question, and her words were full of worry about him being left unattended. His grandmother hadn't been like this when he was a child; Xia Zhiheng had now completely extinguished any remaining affection he had for her.

"Grandma, Xingyu doesn't have a job and has nothing to do all day, so he can take care of you."

Xia Zhiqian said from the side that the Yang family's children were all spoiled by their grandmother and mother.

"No, Xingyu is a grown man, it's not convenient for him to take care of me."

"Big brother, you go back and take care of your wife first. I'll stay here and look after Grandma."

With no one else at home and his grandmother in this condition, someone definitely needed to stay. Xia Zhiheng nodded and left.

"Zhiheng, don't go! Release Xiaoyan right now!"

Xia Zhiheng left without looking back. Seeing that he was really gone, Wang Fengxian cursed and grumbled inside the house. Xia Zhiqian closed the door and listened silently from the side.

When Zhou Miaoying arrived at the hospital with her aunt, Su Qingyan had just fallen asleep.

"Hello, are you Zhiqian's cousin Xiaochu? You're so pretty."

Zhou Miaoying had only ever seen such a beautiful person on television. Last time, Xia Zhiqian was slapped by her, and Zhou Miaoying glanced at her a few more times. She couldn't believe that Xia Yichu could hit someone so fiercely; she looked like a delicate and weak little girl.

"Thank you for the compliment. You are...."

Xia Yichu certainly knew Zhou Miaoying; she had met her in her past life. Back then, Xia Zhiheng had already been crippled by her, and Zhou Miaoying hadn't given her a friendly look when they first met.

"I'm your cousin Xia Zhiqian's girlfriend, my name is Zhou Miaoying. This is my aunt, she will take care of your wife during her postpartum period."

After Zhou Miaoying and Xia Yichu finished their introductions, they walked over to the child sleeping in the small bed next to them.

"Auntie, come quickly and see, the baby is so tiny."

"That's how it is when a baby is first born. Keep your voice down, don't wake the baby and your sister-in-law."

Zhou Miaoying made a shushing gesture, which amused her aunt. Zhou Miaoying's parents were loving and had only one daughter, who was born after they had been married for seven or eight years.

She was pampered by her family from a young age, and in her previous life, she had both a son and a daughter after marriage, and was also pampered by Xia Zhiqian. Her life could be described as smooth sailing. Therefore, she has a very good personality and is simple and kind-hearted.

"Auntie, Sister Miaoying, I have to go now. I'll come to see you again tomorrow. Please take care of your wife and child."

Xia Yichu was worried about her older brother, so he and Pei Shizhou went back to change clothes and didn't come to the hospital.

"Okay, don't worry! I'll see you off."

"Sister Miaoying, no need. You all watch the children. I'll go out by myself."

Zhou Miaoying knew that the child and Su Qingyan were more important right now, so she didn't insist on taking Xia Yichu away. She told her to slow down and be careful.

A short while after Xia Yichu left, Xia Zhiheng rushed to the hospital with Su Qingyan's clothes. He walked quickly to the ward door, and Zhou Miaoying saw Xia Zhiheng and hurriedly went to greet him.

"Brother, you're back. Where's Zhiqian?"

"He's staying at the Yang family's house looking after my maternal grandmother, and he'll come over after my uncle and the others get off work."

"Oh"

At this moment, the child started crying, and Xia Zhiheng was flustered and didn't know what to do.

Chunhua touched the baby's diaper and said, "Zhiheng, the baby peed, I'll change the diaper."

Xia Zhiheng stood to the side, his eyes fixed on Chunhua's movements, trying to memorize the steps.

"Xiao Chu, is the child crying?"

Su Qingyan was awakened by the baby's crying and mumbled sleepily.

"Sister-in-law, it's okay. The baby peed, and my aunt is changing his diaper."

"Qingyan, how are you feeling? Is there anything that's bothering you?" Xia Zhiheng asked with concern.

"Miaoying, when did you arrive? Xiao Chu, where's Xiao Chu?"

Su Qingyan ignored Xia Zhiheng and looked around, but didn't see Xia Yichu, which made her panic.

"Sister-in-law, Xiao Chu had to leave first. She said she'll come see you again tomorrow."

"Qingyan, are you hungry?"

"I'm not hungry, I want to see the baby."

Chunhua brought the child over and placed him next to Su Qingyan.

"Zhiheng, take me to your house to cook for Qingyan. By the way, when will Qingyan be discharged from the hospital?"

"Let Miaoying take you there, Auntie. I'll give you the house keys. The doctor said you can be discharged as early as tomorrow. Qingyan lost a lot of blood during childbirth."

"Okay, I'll cook some blood-nourishing food for Qingyan."

"Okay, thank you, Auntie." Zhou Miaoying and Chunhua took the keys and left.

"Qingyan, I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

Hearing Xia Zhiheng's apology, Su Qingyan burst into tears, feeling wronged. Since marrying Xia Zhiheng, she had unconditionally supported his work, and last time, because of him, she was kidnapped.

Now, because of his cousin, she almost lost her life along with her unborn child. It would be a lie to say she doesn't resent Xia Zhiheng; both times, it was because of him that she got into trouble.

"Don't cry. Crying during postpartum confinement is bad for your eyes. I've already reported Yang Liyan to the police and had her arrested."

Su Qingyan knew this wasn't over; his mother would definitely come looking for him. Xia Zhiheng had also thought of this; he had called his grandparents earlier to tell them about it, and they had told him to come and handle it.

"From now on, no matter which member of the Yang family comes looking for you, just ignore them."

"Xia Zhiheng, the reason Yang Liyan came to me is because your mother said she wanted Yang Liyan to substitute for me. Yang Liyan came to me this morning because she wanted my job."

Yang Liyan was certainly annoying, but Xia Zhiheng's mother was even more despicable. From the time they got married until now, her mother hadn't helped with anything.

Now she's asking Yang Liyan to substitute for her, even though Yang is the director of the Education Bureau. Doesn't she know that Yang Liyan only graduated from high school and doesn't even know how to speak a foreign language? How dare she ask Yang Liyan to substitute for her?

I will definitely give you an explanation for this.

At this moment, Xia Zhiheng also resented his mother for being so meddlesome, treating the Yang family with complete sincerity while ignoring him and his younger brother.
