Chapter 161 Retribution

"She's not asking for the stars in the sky, why are you arguing with her?"

Even when the two of them argued before, Qu Guang had never spoken to her in such a tone.

But this time he changed!

He became exceptionally assertive and said many hurtful things, forcing Cao Xia to compromise for the first time.

She gave the master bedroom to her sister.

She was also thinking that their relationship would be even better once they got to the small bedroom.

Who knew that one night it was raining heavily outside.

While she was half asleep, the man beside her got up and quietly slipped into the master bedroom. When she woke up thirsty in the middle of the night and was discovered by her, the man tried to argue that his sister had been afraid of thunder and lightning since she was little, and that he was just going to keep her company, after all, she was just his sister.

Cao Xia ignored him and prepared to go to work early the next morning.

Unexpectedly, Gan Lili blocked his way, saying, "Sister-in-law, you shouldn't go to work. Just stay home and take good care of me. My brother has arranged a long leave for you, so you don't need to go during this time."

When did this happen?

"When we came back last night, didn't you receive a message from the HR department?"

The woman had a defiant look on her face!

Cao Xia goes to buy groceries and cooks dinner as soon as she gets off work. It's very late. After cleaning up the house, she takes a shower and goes to bed. Where would she find the time to look at her phone?

When she opened her text messages, it was indeed a message from HR: three months of unpaid leave!

She was in the prime of her career, and during this time she was competing for a department manager position, which inadvertently gave her rival an opportunity.

When she called HR, they told her to rest if she wasn't feeling well and to put work aside for now, and to come back when she was fully recovered.

Feeling unwell—what a lame excuse.

Just as I was about to call Qu Guang, he unexpectedly returned, carrying a large amount of groceries and placing them on the dining table.

“These are the nutritional meals I bought. I’ve printed out the recipes. You should follow these for your three meals a day from now on. Your sister is pregnant and she needs to eat nutritious food, otherwise the baby will be malnourished, which would be bad.”

Qu Guang gave a forced smile and stuffed a handbag into Cao Xia's arms.

"Open it and see, I bought it for you!"

Cao Xia's pent-up anger dissipated somewhat. She took the LV box, inside which was an exquisite box. She opened it and took a look.

She immediately flew into a rage.

Inside were SpongeBob SquarePants arm sleeves, an apron, and a hat.

"How is it? Do you like it? I bought it for you on purpose. I remember the one at home was old. My sister has loved watching SpongeBob SquarePants since she was little. She can watch it every day when you cook. It's good for the baby in her belly too."

"I like your big head, you're the one who should cook this meal, I'm not going to."

Cao Xia angrily threw the bag on the ground, turned around, and went back to her bedroom to close the door.

It's just a sick leave she took for herself, right? Let her be sick for a while and see.

"Brother Guang, is Sister Xia starting to suspect something? Has she not discovered our relationship?"

Gan Lili sat on the sofa, eating the bird's nest he had just bought.

"I'm pregnant with your Qu family's big, fat grandson. You'd better take good care of me and the baby. We've been married for three years, and she hasn't even laid an egg for you. Anyway, this family is either me or her. You decide what to do. I'm about to give birth."

"Don't worry, Lili, she's just a barren hen. Once you and the baby are out of confinement, I'll divorce her immediately. The mistress of this house will be yours sooner or later."

Cao Xia waited and waited inside, but the man didn't come to coax her, and she immediately became disappointed in him!

Seeing her husband staring at her belly every day, she wondered if he wanted a child.

When they were pregnant with their first child, a checkup revealed that the baby was not healthy, so they went to a small clinic and had an abortion. Little did they know that this would damage their health.

Undeterred, she went to the hospital again for a thorough check-up. This time, she went to the most famous hospital in the area without telling anyone.

After the examination, the doctor told him that with proper care for three months, her body would recover.

After picking up her medicine, she was about to go home when a couple rushed in, carrying a medical examination report.

"Doctor, are you sure you're not mistaken? My wife's name is Xing Lili, not Gan Lili!"

The doctor took the test results and said, "Look how confused I am. I'll call her right now."

Cao Xia, with her sharp eyes, glanced at the report and saw the words "fetal malformation" standing out prominently.

The call connected, and the woman's voice on the other end sounded very familiar—it was Qu Lili's voice, but the test results showed it was Gan Lili!

"Host, are they all ganging up on me to scam me?"

[Poor woman, that so-called Qu Lili is probably your husband's mistress, or even more likely, the woman's pregnancy is most likely your husband's.]

The person upstairs is right, those two have problems; they're most likely a pair of scumbags!

[I ask you, which family's younger sister hasn't shown up for years after getting married, and then suddenly appears heavily pregnant, needing her sister-in-law to take care of her? There's definitely something fishy going on; it's being kept under wraps!]

"Just as you suspected, they are lying to you. The woman's name is Gan Lili. She is the woman your husband is keeping on the side. To be precise, she is an employee of their company."

The woman took a liking to Qu Guang as soon as she arrived, and the two quickly fell in love. The woman became pregnant, and your husband's family was overjoyed.

So they kept her outside the home, and when her pregnancy progressed, she set her sights on your house and started to take over, all in an effort to kick you out!

"Buzz..."

She had been having doubts, but after the anchor said that, she suddenly felt relieved.

"Retribution, it's all retribution! Did they think they'd be happy this way?!"

Cao Xia actually laughed. People laugh when they are very angry, and it's true.

"Host, I know what to do now. He asked me to get a fake divorce a while ago so he could register his sister's child. Since that's the case, I'll really get a divorce from him. Thank you, Master, for your guidance!"

The woman hung up the phone and had just returned to the lobby when she saw the two men walk in.

His face was unusually grave!

"Are you still getting a divorce?"

To their surprise, Cao Xia spoke first. They looked at each other, and the disappointment in their eyes instantly turned into excitement.

Gan Lili's face was not good. Cao Xia sneered. Qu Guang probably doesn't know yet that the child Gan Lili is carrying is deformed!

Qu Guang excitedly grabbed Cao Xia's hand, and she felt nauseous.

"Xia, have you thought it through? Are you really going to have a fake divorce with me? To register your sister's child's household registration."

"I'll divorce you, but this house should belong to me. After all, I paid the down payment for this house and I've been paying off the mortgage."

"no!"

Gan Lili excitedly spoke her mind: if she gave the house to Cao Xia, even if she and Qu Guang got their marriage certificate, they would have nowhere to go.

Moreover, the baby was found to be unsuitable for birth, so she needed to hurry up and get her marriage certificate with Qu Guang.

"You're an outsider, and my agreement to a divorce is already the biggest concession I've made. If you don't want it, then we won't get a divorce."
