After her rebirth, she became an unattainable woman.

Chapter 69 The Downstairs Neighbor's Knocking

Jiang Ming took the four bowls to the dining table, ladled out the soup, and wondered to himself: Was Song Qiao faking it?

"Honey, why don't you stay home and take care of the kids? I'll send Mom back to her hometown. This place is too small; it's not big enough for her, and it's affecting our married life."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Dalan came out of the bedroom and said, "I won't bother you. Ranran and I have already agreed that I will share a room with her from now on."

Song Qiao thought Zhang Dalan had compromised, but in reality, she didn't want to leave.

Song Qiao looked up at Zhang Dalan and asked, "Ranran agreed?"

“I agree. My granddaughter has grown up and feels sorry for her grandma. She’s worried that I’ll freeze in the winter when I go back to my hometown.”

After Zhang Dalan said that, Jiang Xiaoran, sitting at the dining table, agreed: "I want Grandma to sleep in the same room as me."

Song Qiao really wanted to ask Jiang Xiaoran, "What did your grandmother promise you? Does that mean all the love I've given you over the years has been worthless?"

"No need to see Mom off. Ranran is all grown up now, and I have to go out to work. Let Mom stay here, cook, and take care of the child."

Song Qiao had already made an agreement with Jiang Ming that as long as his mother stayed in the house, she would go out to work.

Zhang Dalan used to bully Song Qiao, and she mentioned it to him, but he always sided with his mother, saying that it wasn't easy for her to raise him alone, and that she should be more accommodating to her mother, explaining how difficult it was for her.

Song Qiao really wanted to say, "Your mother's hardships weren't caused by me, so why are you using moral blackmail?"

Song Qiao stuck to her principles this time; she didn't want to go home as long as the old woman didn't leave.

"Also, Ranran is all better now. I have to go back to the company right away. I need to familiarize myself with the work I have on hand, and I'll inevitably have to work overtime in the future."

She needs to give him a heads-up.

Jiang Ming looked at Zhang Dalan and wondered why she had changed her mind after all the arrangements had been made in advance.

"Alright, let's eat first. We'll talk about it after Ranran gets better."

Clearly, this did not meet Jiang Ming's expectations. He said angrily and lowered his head to start eating.

Even though Jiang Xiaoran had a fever, she still ate a bowl of rice and a lot of dishes. In Zhang Dalan's words, she likes to eat her mother's cooking.

Seeing that Jiang Xiaoran was alright, Song Qiao was thinking about how to find an excuse to escape tonight. Sleeping in the same bed with Jiang Ming would only cause her nightmares.

"Honey, since Mom and Ranran are in the same room, let's go to bed early tonight."

While Song Qiao was washing the dishes, Jiang Ming came to the kitchen and stood next to her. The smell of smoke on him was pungent.

Before Song Qiao could figure out how to refuse, the doorbell rang.

"Who?"

Jiang Ming was clearly annoyed by the unexpected visitor. Song Qiao wiped her hands and said, "I'll go open the door!"

Upon opening the door, Song Qiao saw Liu Yan and warmly welcomed her in: "Sister-in-law, why did you bring something?"

"I heard Ranran is sick, so I came to see the child!"

Jiang Ming also came into the living room, looked at Liu Yan and asked, "Who told you that?"

Song Qiao quickly explained, "I ran into my sister-in-law in the hallway on my way back, and I told her!"

After saying this, Song Qiao quickly called to Liu Yan, "Sister-in-law! Sit down quickly."

Liu Yan put down the milk she was carrying and looked at Jiang Xiaoran: "I heard Ranran singing and dancing at home this afternoon, how did she catch a cold?"

Upon hearing this, Song Qiao looked at Jiang Xiaoran with curiosity: "Auntie said you sang and danced? Really?"

Upon hearing Liu Yan's words, Zhang Dalan immediately retorted, "When did you ever hear Ranran singing and dancing?"

“Your downstairs neighbor, who lives across the hall from us, came upstairs looking for us, didn’t she? My aunt almost got into a fight with her, and I had to pull her back inside.”

Zhang Dalan disliked Liu Yan to begin with, and she exploded when she heard this: "I think you're talking nonsense. When did the neighbors come up to look for us?"

After saying this, Zhang Dalan stood up and pushed Liu Yan to leave, saying, "You should leave quickly, don't stay in our house anymore."

"Hey……"

Liu Yan looked at Zhang Dalan in disbelief: "I'm not making this up. I was the one who persuaded them to leave. Xiao Song, look at your auntie?"

Having achieved the desired effect, Song Qiao hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, you should go back now. Thank you for coming to see our Ranran."

Upon hearing Song Qiao's words, Liu Yan had no choice but to walk towards the door, saying as she went, "I wasn't wrong. I was the one who persuaded you downstairs to leave, otherwise you would have started fighting."

Liu Yan left, and Song Qiao looked at Jiang Ming: "What do you mean?"

"Don't listen to her nonsense!" Jiang Ming said, frowning.

Song Qiao didn't want to argue with him, so she looked down at Jiang Xiaoran and said, "Ranran, tell Mommy, did you have a cold or fever and go to the hospital? Tell the truth, and Mommy will buy you a princess dress next time."

"I……"

Just as Jiang Xiaoran was about to speak, Jiang Ming suddenly roared, "What's there to say? Don't you know what kind of person Liu Yan is? She's always gossiping and talking big. Who in the whole building isn't annoyed by her?"

After saying this, Jiang Ming looked at Song Qiao and asked, "When did you become so close to her?"

Upon hearing this, Song Qiao had a reason to retort: ​​"Can't I be close to her? Isn't her husband also at the urban construction company? Shouldn't we help each other out in the same building? Last time Ranran was hit by a car in the yard, it was she who stopped the car."

At this moment, Jiang Ming suddenly remembered seeing Zhang Xiaodong during the day, and looked at Song Qiao with eyes like an eagle: "I saw Zhang Xiaodong at the company during the day, what was he doing?"

“Isn’t Zhang Xiaodong studying architecture? It was Dad who called him over; it seems like he has other plans for him.”

Jiang Ming finally understood; no wonder Liu Yan brought milk to his house.

"Which position does Dad plan to assign him?"

Jiang Ming disliked Zhang Xiaodong's success and preferred to see the respectful expressions on their faces when they saw him.

Zhang Xiaodong is a professionally trained scholar and has the ability, but Song Qiao had to ask him several times before assigning him the job of a materials clerk.

"Why didn't Dad tell me about this? I'm the deputy general manager of the urban construction company, aren't I?" Jiang Ming gritted his teeth in anger.

Song Qiao looked at him and said, "He didn't tell me either. I just happened to run into him when I went there. Our dad has this idea, but I don't know the specific arrangements."

After saying this, Song Qiao glanced at Jiang Ming and Zhang Dalan: "Let's not talk about Zhang Xiaodong anymore, tell me what exactly happened to Ranran?"

"What's going on? Ranran's illness is a lie, I really wanted you to come home. You're married now, why aren't you home? What are you doing out there fooling around?"

Upon hearing this, Song Qiao angrily retorted, "Who are you calling a womanizer? You're the one who's been fooling around outside!"

Jiang Ming looked down at Jiang Xiaoran, then pulled Song Qiao and walked into the bedroom.

"Let me go! I want to go back to the company."

Song Qiao tried to break free from Jiang Ming, but his hand gripped her arm tightly, like a vise she couldn't break free from.

"Jiang Ming, I'm telling you to let go!"

Song Qiao slapped her across the face: "Smack!"

When Zhang Dalan saw her son being beaten, she went crazy and went over to Song Qiao, beating him mercilessly.

Unable to reach Zhang Dalan, Song Qiao raised her hand and slapped Jiang Ming twice more: "I told you to let go!"

Jiang Ming was furious and glared at Zhang Dalan: "Mom, get out of my way."

After saying this, Jiang Ming pulled Song Qiao back into the bedroom.

It was exactly eight o'clock when Song Qiao's phone rang. Upon hearing it, Jiang Ming snatched the bag away, took out the phone, and said, "Let me see which wild man is calling you?"

He took it out and saw it was Wang Hongmei. He glanced at Song Qiao, turned off the phone, and threw it aside.
