Xia Zheng Hai left.
Xia Qiqi finished her porridge.
She got up from the dining table and wanted to take a short walk because she had eaten a bit too much.
Just as she entered the living room, she heard another knock on the door.
Xia Qiqi frowned.
She opened the door, "Didn't I tell you to leave quickly? Why did you come back again..."
Xia Qiqi saw Xiao Qiang.
She thought it was her father who had turned back.
Seeing Xiao Qiang, Xia Qiqi's expression naturally wasn't pleasant.
"What's the matter? You know too?" Xia Qiqi's tone towards Xiao Qiang clearly carried emotions.
"My daughter-in-law is pregnant, can't I know?!" Xiao Qiang raised an eyebrow.
With the air of a noble lady, she did!
Damn it.
She's no longer a prestigious lady, so why is she still putting on airs!
Xia Qiqi rolled her eyes.
Xiao Nanchen really has a big mouth.
Usually, he can't even come up with a fart, but his ability to spread news is surprisingly fast.
"Well, I don't intend to give birth anyway." Xia Qiqi said deliberately.
She just wished to infuriate Xiao Qiang.
Who gave her the right...
Xia Zheng Hai doesn't like her mother, but he wants to like this woman.
"I don't intend to give birth, so what are you pregnant with?!" Xiao Qiang's expression clearly changed.
Her attitude towards Xia Qiqi is truly a world of difference compared to when she was her stepmother.
She knew that this woman's kindness towards her in the past was all an act!
"Do you think I wanted to get pregnant?!" Xia Qiqi retorted.
She was so angry because of this child, and this old woman Xiao Qiang still had the audacity to make sarcastic remarks.
"It's not what you think. Was it Nanchen who forced you?" Xiao Qiang asked in return.
Xia Qiqi was rendered speechless by Xiao Qiang's retort.
After all, it wasn't Xiao Nanchen who forced her.
But...
Xiao Qiang stared straight at Xia Qiqi and continued to strike, "Nanchen is disabled in both legs. If it weren't for you taking the initiative, what could he do to you?!"
"..." Xia Qiqi almost couldn't catch her breath.
So in Xiao Qiang's mind, she took the initiative to climb into Xiao Nanchen's bed?!
It was her who took the initiative to have a relationship with Xiao Nanchen.
It was her...
Upon careful thought, it seemed like it was her.
It was her who took the medicine, couldn't hold on, and had a relationship with Xiao Nanchen.
Damn it!
Xia Qiqi's face turned green from Xiao Qiang's words.
"You young people's affairs, I won't bother about them. It's all your personal preferences, as long as you're happy." Xiao Qiang said generously, "I came here to take care of my granddaughter. As for your relationship with Nanchen, it's none of my concern."
"What did you say? You came to take care of your granddaughter?" Xia Qiqi stared directly at Xiao Qiang.
"Le Ling." Xiao Qiang didn't even answer Xia Qiqi. She shouted towards the room where Le Ling was busy unpacking the bags that Xia Zheng Hai had brought, "Come here and help me with the luggage."
"Why did you bring luggage?" Xia Qiqi's eyes widened.
"Didn't I just say it? I came to take care of my granddaughter!" Xiao Qiang was a bit impatient.
"Who said she is your granddaughter?" Xia Qiqi was furious.
"Isn't she in your belly?"
"So what if she's in my belly?" Xia Qiqi asked.
"Until she's born, if I say she's a granddaughter, then she's a granddaughter. If I say she's a grandson, then she's a grandson. Can you control it?" Xiao Qiang asserted dominantly.
Xia Qiqi was truly infuriated.
This old woman has finally revealed her true colors.
It turns out that all those years of obedience and deference to her were just an act.
"Madam, you're here." Le Ling hurriedly came out of the room, wearing a face full of enthusiasm.
"Help me bring the luggage into the room. From now on, I'll be staying here," said Xiao Qiang with a sense of entitlement.
Le Ling quickly took the luggage from her.
Xia Qiqi watched Xiao Qiang and Le Ling enter the house together, displaying an air of arrogance.
"Who allowed you to live here?" Xia Qiqi snapped at Xiao Qiang, her anger flaring up. "This is my house. Did I give you permission to stay?"
"This is my son's house," Xiao Qiang turned to Xia Qiqi, showing no signs of humility whatsoever.
Back when she was her stepmother, they never clashed like this.
"Don't think I don't know. I'm sure my father used his money to buy this house," Xia Qiqi asserted.
Xiao Qiang chuckled.
That smile, so sarcastic.
Xia Qiqi felt like she was going to explode from Xiao Qiang's laughter.
How dare she mock her?!
This old woman, Xiao Qiang, was shamelessly mocking her!
Didn't she marry her father just for his money?! Don't think she doesn't know!
"No wonder you can't figure out who you should love and who loves you the most," Xiao Qiang taunted. "I'm afraid my granddaughter will inherit your intelligence!"
"Xiao Qiang!" Xia Qiqi shouted in anger.
Xiao Qiang completely ignored Xia Qiqi.
She turned to Le Ling and said, "Clear out Xia Qiqi's room for me. I'll be staying there."
"Why should I?" Xia Qiqi was on the verge of a breakdown.
Who did she think she was?!
Not only did she come to her house, but she also wanted to stay in her room.
"There are three rooms: one for Nanchen, one for Le Ling, so naturally, I can only stay in your room," Xiao Qiang said matter-of-factly.
"If you take my room, where will I stay?" Xia Qiqi was truly about to explode.
"Anywhere will do, you can stay with Nanchen..."
"Dream on!"
"Or you can stay with Le Ling," Xiao Qiang suggested.
"Who wants to stay with you?"
"Then stay with me," Xiao Qiang said bluntly.
"I'd rather die than stay with you!" Xia Qiqi gritted her teeth.
"In that case, you can sleep on the sofa," Xiao Qiang said with a hint of helplessness.
Xia Qiqi stared at Xiao Qiang.
She really wanted to beat her to death!
"Le Ling, go tidy up the room," Xiao Qiang instructed.
Le Ling promptly agreed and went to Xia Qiqi's bedroom.
Xiao Qiang paid no attention to Xia Qiqi anymore. She walked straight to Xiao Nanchen's bedroom and knocked on the door.
Xiao Nanchen opened the door.
Then the mother and son entered the room together.
There was only Xia Qiqi left in the living room.
She was so infuriated that she felt like she was going to vomit blood.
They say pregnant women shouldn't get angry.
Was Xiao Qiang deliberately trying to make her lose the baby by provoking her like this?
Damn it.
She's so malicious!
...
Inside Xiao Nanchen's bedroom.
Xiao Qiang said, "I'm temporarily moving in here. I don't trust Xia Qiqi with her meddling hands."
"I'm afraid Xia Qiqi will collapse as long as you're around."
"Don't worry, after living with her for so many years, I understand her personality. I won't really push her to the edge," Xiao Qiang stated frankly.
"Alright," Xiao Nanchen didn't say much more.
His mother never acts recklessly.
As long as it's something she decides, there won't be many issues.
"By the way, I'll be staying in Xia Qiqi's room. When the time comes, you should willingly give up your room for Xia Qiqi to stay in, and you can sleep on the sofa," Xiao Qiang said, "Xia Qiqi won't be able to bear it."
"..."
Xia Qiqi is simply no match for his mother.
