"Xiao Zhou, Xiao Zhou, come here!" Xie Ming called him over. "Go and keep a close eye on those people over there. As soon as things are settled there, retrieve everything immediately!"

"Yes, sir. I'll urge the legal team to inform Ms. Lin today, and send two more people over there to keep an eye on things!" Seeing that his boss had no objection to his suggestion, Xiao Zhou retreated to the temporary office in Xie's residence, took out the phone, and started making calls.

The mother and son, lost in their fantasy world, were stunned when they received a call from Xie's legal team.

What? Return the things? Return what? Has Xie Ming gone mad? Does he even care about them, mother and son?

Zhao Zhixuan threw off the covers, ignoring the pain in his body, and stood up, saying, "That old bastard Xie Ming is really ungrateful! He doesn't come to apologize to us, and he even wants to take back what he gave us! Doesn't he even know if he deserves it?"

He felt so angry he was about to faint; if he weren't only in his early twenties, he might have already passed out.

"Son, lie down quickly, you're still injured." Lin Meixia lovingly pulled her precious son back to bed.

"Mom, I have to go back. If I don't teach those father and daughter a lesson, they'll really think I'm made of clay."

At this moment, he had forgotten that he had not yet obtained the Xie family's property and was currently just a guest staying in someone else's home.

Lin Meixia was still somewhat rational at first, but Zhao Zhixuan's domineering words made her realize that she also had the confidence to back it up.

"Mom will go to the Xie family first to see what tricks they're playing. You get some rest. I'll call Xiaoya and ask her to come over and keep you company. I don't know what's wrong with her; it's so late and she still hasn't come."

When Lin Meixia woke up in the morning, her beloved was still fast asleep. It was almost 10 o'clock and she still hadn't seen him. He probably wasn't going to call and was still lying in bed like a corpse.

"Mom~ Xiaoya is pregnant! I asked the doctor, and she's carrying two babies, one of which is a boy!" Zhao Zhixuan's face showed a loving expression as he thought of the children in his beloved wife's belly.

"My son is really something else, humph! She's just lucky. Once the baby is born, I'll make sure your Uncle Xie gives her some shares, otherwise the child won't support him in his old age."

"He's not worthy of being called a caregiver! He's a child of the Zhao family!"

Zhao Zhixuan thought of the well-behaved twins and felt that the Xie family must have accumulated a lot of good karma to be able to have the girl adopted. No way! He would never agree to give the child to the Xie family again in this lifetime.

"Yes, the Xie family has so much money, yet they still want my grandchildren to support them in their old age? They're simply insatiable. They'll be struck by lightning if they don't. Humph~ I can't let my little grandson suffer that injustice." Lin Meixia had her own thoughts about Xie Ming, but she still preferred her own flesh and blood to her grandson.

"Stop talking, Mom, go and see what's going on. If it's that bitch Xie Ning'an dragging Xie Ming'er here, then teach her a lesson."

Although Zhao Zhixuan did not marry Xie Ning'an, he had long regarded her as his possession. Even though he felt that this life was different from the previous life, he was confident that Xie Ming was still the same Xie Ming who valued him.

For no other reason than that he was completely fooled by the one month Xie Ming gave him.

Zhao Zhixuan was all too aware of the Xie family's strength. If they really wanted to investigate, let alone a month, even a week would be enough for the Xie family to fight back and forth with the Zhao family several times.

He firmly believed that Xie Ming just wanted to teach them a lesson, since he had indeed done a poor job at the engagement ceremony.

Therefore, after clarifying what happened that day, he believed that the deviation in the situation was likely due to his mother's failure to handle the aftermath properly.

Lin Meixia was also afraid that she might miss something important happening at the Xie family's place, so she got up, slung her bag over her shoulder, and hurried out. It wasn't until she was outside the hospital and a gust of wind blew that she regained some of her composure.

Something's not right! If Xie Ming's attitude wasn't instigated by Xie Ning'an, then things wouldn't be as she imagined.

Lin Meixia was quite confident in her ability to control Xie Ning'an; she was sure she could completely fool him.

Being cautious, she first called Xie Ning'an, but couldn't get through; she figured she'd been blocked. Feeling uneasy, she asked a passerby to take the call, but that also didn't go through.

My doubts have lessened a bit; maybe he was on the phone.

The situation was beyond her control, and without further hesitation, she decided to go back to the Xie family home first.

What she didn't know was that Xie Ming and Xie Ning'an had both changed their phone numbers. Tycoons don't have the hassle of changing numbers! Otherwise, what would be the point of assistants and secretaries?

Lin Meixia drove quickly all the way to the Xie residence.

"Ding-dong!..."

At this moment, Lin Meixia outside the Xie residence was going crazy. The gate's security system couldn't recognize her anymore. The security guards had also been replaced with a new batch she didn't recognize, and they were still trying to drive her away.

"Madam, if you keep going like this, we'll have to call the police!" The security guard got angry when the woman kept ringing the doorbell despite his warnings.

“I live here, and I can’t get in now. What kind of business is it if you won’t open the door for me and won’t let me call for help?”

She didn't dare say she'd fired them; Xie Ming was clearly angry. She wouldn't dare touch them until she coaxed them back.

"Don't even mention that you live here. The housekeeper made us recognize everyone who lives here today." The security guard's words were clearly telling Lin Meixia, "We know everything about you."

Lin Meixia had a very bad feeling. At this moment, she was unaware that everything she had done to Xie Ning'an had been exposed, and now he was ready to skin her alive.

Knowing that staying here wouldn't solve anything, she could only sit in the car and wait for Xie Ming to appear. She was quite lucky; a few hours later, Xie Ming arrived with Xie Ning'an.

Lin Meixia drove straight into the road, blocking the vehicles' path. After forcing the cars to stop, she quickly got out and ran to the car door, banging on it forcefully.
