  Xia Wangshi looked at Xia Cha as though she was looking at a monster.

  Xia Cha lowered her head and lit the cigarette with an indescribable charm.

  She narrowed her eyes and exhaled a mouthful of smoke.

  Xia Wangshi suddenly felt that this granddaughter in front of her was very unfamiliar.

  She used to be thin and small, malnourished, and a coward when she saw people. She did not expect that she would become like this one day.

  Her eyes sparkled coldly through the smoke.

  Xia Wangshi could not deny that her granddaughter was unbelievably beautiful now.

  Even the act of her smoking, which she thought only bad girls would do, looked as beautiful as a scroll painting.

  Xia Wangshi looked at the glimmering cigarette butt and frowned. “Xia Cha, why did you come to my room so early in the morning? Your mother caused me to break my legs. Do you want to burn me to death?”


  Xia Cha looked at Xia Wangshi and did not waste any time. “Whether you die depends on you. I’ll count to ten. If you can’t get out of bed, don’t blame me for being rude.”


  Xia Wangshi shouted at the top of her lungs, but Xia Cha saw through her thoughts and flicked the lighter. “If you make a sound, you won’t even have a chance.”


  Xia Wangshi had never expected that she would be shocked by a little girl.

  “One, two… five, six…”


  Xia Wangshi glared at Xia Cha angrily, her lips trembling slightly. “You wouldn’t dare. Don’t threaten me.”


  Xia Cha ignored Xia Wangshi. “Seven, eight, nine…”


  Seeing that Xia Cha really flicked the cigarette in her hand, Xia Wangshi was pale with fear. She did not care anymore and got up from the bed quickly.

  She did not even have time to wear her shoes as she cursed and ran out.

  Xia Cha had flicked the cigarette at a place where there was no gasoline. She walked over and stubbed it out.

  Xia Wangshi ran into the yard with her messy hair. She stood at the door of the yard and cursed loudly.

  Several neighbors surrounded them.

  “The Third Young Lady of Second Brother’s family will go to hell when she dies. She poured gasoline on my room early in the morning and wanted to burn me to death…”


  Xia Cha walked out and looked at Xia Wangshi, who was cursing at her. She laughed lightly. “Grandma, I’m joking with you. If I really wanted to burn you, would I still have to wait for you to wake up? However, Grandma, didn’t you have a bone fracture? Why are you still so energetic?”


  Xia Wangshi was stunned.

  When she reacted and wanted to fall to the ground, Xia Chuan rushed out of the crowd and grabbed Xia Wangshi’s arm.

  “All of them are revolting.”


  Hearing the commotion, Xia Zhenxiang and Ye Guixiang from the eldest branch, and Xia Zhenli from the third branch, came out.

  Seeing her son and daughter-in-law coming out, Xia Wangshi cried, “I’m old, but I still have to be bullied by the younger generation. There’s really no point in living anymore!”


  “Grandma, can you stop acting? Your leg is clearly fine, but you still wronged Second Auntie and let the people in the county gossip about her. Do you know how ruthless you are? Don’t you know that gossip can kill someone?”


  Hearing Xia Chuan’s question, Xia Wangshi’s lips trembled.

  Now, even the brat with the least status in her family dared to question her?

  Seeing that Xia Chuan was disrespecting Xia Wangshi, Xia Zhenli walked over and was about to slap him, but Xia Cha blocked his way.

  Xia Zhenli raised her hand high and met Xia Cha’s eyes for a few seconds.

  Seeing the coldness in Xia Cha’s eyes, Xia Zhenli could not help but shiver.

  He was actually shocked by a little girl’s gaze!

  “What is this? Xia Cha, Xia Chuan, you’re becoming more and more outrageous by coming to the old residence so early in the morning.” Ye Guixiang hated Xia Cha to the core. Her precious daughter had been detained because of Xia Cha.

  “Doctor Li said that your grandma needs to rest properly because of your mother’s push. Because of that, her bones were damaged. If Uncle Li wasn’t good at his medical skills, your grandmother might have long…”


  Xia Cha looked at Ye Guixiang, who was still wiping her tears as she spoke. She knew that she wanted to gain the sympathy and support of the neighbors.

  “Yes, your grandmother managed to walk again in a few days’ time. It only means that Uncle Li’s medical skills are good.”


  “Yes, we all saw your mom pushing your grandma.”


  Xia Cha did not plan to talk nonsense and gave Xia Chuan a look.

  Xia Chuan took out his phone and played a video.

  In the video, Ye Guixiang leaned into Doctor Li’s arms. “My mother-in-law pretended to be pushed by Qiu Zhi, but she pretended to break her leg. I don’t want her to recover so quickly. Do you have any medicine that can make her lie in bed for a while?”


  “If she’s lying down for a while, I’ll take care of everything at home and it’ll be easier for me to go out for a date with you tonight.”


  “There is, but will people find out?”


  “Why? Are you afraid? You won’t be able to leave easily after getting together with me.”


  “How can I bear to leave you…”


  The next scene was very eye-catching.

  Ye Guixiang was stunned when she heard her conversation with Doctor Li.

  Not only was Ye Guixiang stunned, but everyone standing at the door was stunned.

  Xia Zhenxiang did not expect that Ye Guixiang would actually cheat on him with Doctor Li.

  Xia Wangshi had not expected Ye Guixiang to be so vicious that she would let her collapse on the bed.

  When Xia Wangshi saw what happened later, she shouted immediately.

  She charged at Ye Guixiang like she had gone crazy.

  Ye Guixiang was hit to the ground by Xia Wangshi.

  Before she could react, she was slapped ruthlessly by Xia Zhenxiang.

  The Xia family’s old mansion immediately turned into a chaotic mess.

  Xia Chuan pulled Xia Cha and left.

  With what had happened this morning, no one would say anything about Qiu Zhi anymore, because all of this had been orchestrated by the people in the old residence.

  …


  Back at home, Xia Cha slept.

  When she woke up, she saw that many neighbors had come to her house.

  They were all here to apologize to Qiu Zhi.

  After Qiu Zhi’s neighbors left, she made a delicious meal.

  “Cha Cha, eat more.”


  Qiu Zhi picked up a piece of braised meat for Xia Cha.

  Xia Cha looked at the meat in her bowl and felt uncomfortable for some reason.

  This discomfort continued until night time.

  If Xia Cha had not regained her memories, she might have thought that there was only a problem with her stomach.

  But now, she had her past memories.

  She had also lost a child twice.

  Before that, she had also felt nauseous and uncomfortable.

  Could it be…


  Xia Cha suddenly felt panic and fear.

  She had already died once, and being able to live in this world again was a gift from the heavens.

  But it did not mean that she could forget the painful experiences in the past.

  She was really afraid of the pain of pregnancy and losing the child.

  After all, the second time she got pregnant, she had even lost the most important thing to a woman.

  Xia Cha closed her eyes and forced herself to calm down.

  She would have a checkup at the hospital tomorrow. Maybe she was just thinking too much.

  ….

  Xia Cha did not sleep well that night. The next morning, after having breakfast and informing her family, Xia Cha went to the hospital alone.

  She had just arrived at the hospital when she saw a black sedan driving over at a high speed.

  The car door was pushed open and Huo Heng rushed out of the car.

  One look and she could tell that he had rushed back. He looked travel-worn.

  After he got out of the car, he rushed toward the hospital.

  Xia Cha stood aside. He walked past her as if he had not seen her.

  Xia Cha saw Jian Ming getting out of the driver’s seat.

  Although she and Huo Heng had already broken up, they weren’t enemies yet.

  She had a bad feeling when she saw how travel-worn and red-eyed he was.

  Jian Ming saw her and walked over to greet her. “Miss Xia.”


  “Assistant Jian, what happened to your Young Master?” Thinking of how Old Madam Huo had not been in good health when she came back on New Year’s Day, Xia Cha frowned. Had something happened to the Old Madam?

  “Young Master received a call that the Old Madam is dying.”


  Xia Cha froze.

  …


  Xia Cha followed Jian Ming to the emergency room.

  Old Madam Huo was already at death’s door. She looked out of the emergency room weakly. “Heng’er, where’s my granddaughter-in-law?”


  The Old Madam’s hand was already weak. She was holding Huo Heng’s hand, and Huo Heng was holding hers tightly.

  “Grandma, she’s on a business trip abroad and can’t come back.”


  “You must treat her well in the future. Don’t be like how your father treats your mother…”


  “Grandma, I will.” Huo Heng’s eyes were red as he choked up.

  “Grandma can’t see the two of you getting married and having children…”


  At this moment, a soft voice trailed over. “Grandma.”


  Old Madam Huo looked out of the ward and saw a slender figure running over.

  She knelt beside Huo Heng and called softly, “Grandma.”


  Old Madam Huo nodded. “Cha Cha is back.”


  She looked at Xia Cha, wanting to hand Huo Heng’s hand to Xia Cha, but she could not exert any strength.

  “Heng’er promised me that he would be good to you for the rest of his life. Cha Cha, our Heng’er was a bastard in the past, but he changed. He only has you in his heart…”


  Old Madam Huo was most worried about Huo Heng. Her father had never given him much fatherly love. He had no real power in the company before.

  What a poor child!

  Xia Cha looked at Huo Heng. Huo Heng’s red eyes landed on Xia Cha.

  He grabbed her hand.

  Xia Cha did not retract her hand.

  Seeing their intertwined hands, Old Madam Huo smirked and closed her eyes.

  Huo Heng closed his eyes, his heart throbbing in pain.

  Two tear drops slid down from her eyes.

  …


  Old Madam Huo’s funeral was very grand.

  After the funeral, the cremated Old Madam Huo was buried in Yan City’s cemetery.

  That day, it started to drizzle.

  After everyone left, Huo Heng continued to stand in front of the tombstones.

  He was wearing a black outfit and was tall. The rain had wet his short hair. His back looked lonely and bleak.

  Xia Cha walked over and held an umbrella over his head.

  After a few seconds, he looked at her.

  He had not rested for a week and his eyes were bloodshot.

  He looked at her, his expression calm.

  “Thank you.” His voice was hoarse and distant.

  She understood what he meant by ‘thank you’.

  It was to thank her for still pretending to be his girlfriend in the emergency room that day and for letting the Old Madam leave in peace.

  He raised his hand and wiped the water droplets on his face. “I’m fine. You can leave first!”


  His tone was indifferent.
