After five years of a cold marriage, I can no longer hide the child I secretly gave birth to.

When Xu Jiaojiao saw her this time, she put away her usual fake smile, and anger lurked in her eyes.

He glared at her and Xu Meng, then arrogantly strode into the manor in his stiletto heels.

Xu Daikui naturally knew where that anger came from.

She coldly led Xu Meng into a taxi.

The fever persisted, and she felt extremely dizzy, so she was drowsy the whole way.

But he hadn't forgotten to send Xu Meng to kindergarten.

Xu Meng touched her forehead with concern and found that she had a high fever, so of course she was worried about leaving.

She took out her notebook and quickly wrote down a sentence.

"Mom, I'm not going to kindergarten today. I'm staying home to take care of you."

Xu Daikui still felt lingering fear when she thought about how Zhou Yanci had taken her away without a word last night.

She was also worried about her leaving her sight, so she nodded and told the driver the name of Jinxiu Community.

Xu Meng then asked her another question.

"Mom, why do you have a fever? Did you look for me for a long time last night?"

She felt sorry that she had slept at Zhou Yanci's house last night.

She didn't know why, but she became curious about Zhou Yanci.

Xu Daikui shook her head, "It was Mom's own carelessness, Mengmeng doesn't need to worry."

...

Back at the house, Xu Daikui first gave herself an injection to reduce her fever, then lay down on the bed and put on a mask.

She was afraid of infecting Xu Meng with her illness.

Xu Meng knew that her mother hadn't eaten breakfast yet, so she went to the kitchen to cook porridge for her.

Xu Daikui then took out her phone and called Dean Zhao.

"Dean Zhao, I have a bad cold and need to take three days off..."

Dean Zhao was still fuming about her storming off last night, and now that he had the chance, he immediately launched into a tirade of abuse.

"Xu Daikui, I used to think you were quite dedicated and sensible, how come you're so unpresentable now?"

"Do you know that President Zhou only invested in us because of your sister? The inpatient department is barely built, and you're already throwing a tantrum and offending our investor. Are you trying to ruin our hospital?"

Xu Daikui was extremely frustrated, and her voice unconsciously turned cold. "Is pleasing Xu Jiaojiao also part of my job?"

Dean Zhao snorted angrily, "She's your sister, and more importantly, she's our hospital's cash cow! Listen to me carefully: if the hospital faces any risk in terms of investment because of you, then our hospital will no longer tolerate this big shot like you!"

He said this in a cold voice and then hung up the phone.

Xu Daikui looked at the string of numbers and laughed coldly.

What kind of bewitching potion did Xu Jiaojiao give them one by one?

How could these men erase all her goodness overnight, each one willingly becoming a knife in Xu Jiaojiao's hand to gouge out her heart?

Just as she was getting annoyed, Xu Meng brought in a bowl of porridge and slowly handed it to her.

Xu Daikui accepted it with relief.

In recent years, she has not allowed Xu Meng to enter the kitchen, but she is clever and beautiful, and the porridge she cooks looks very appetizing.

"Thank you, darling." She suppressed her fierce aura and chuckled softly.

"Mom, are you feeling better?"

Seeing her smile, Xu Meng also picked up her pen and wrote down a sentence.

Xu Daikui nodded, "Much better. But, why did you go with that uncle last night? Can you tell Mommy?"

Xu Daikui didn't question her as soon as she left, because she was afraid that it would leave her with some bad psychological trauma.

Xu Meng thought for a moment, then shook her head.

She doesn't know either.

At first, she wanted to see if the uncle already had a wife, but later she ate her fill and fell asleep.

Xu Daikui looked at her seriously and instructed, "You can't go with strangers anymore, understand?"

Xu Meng nodded.

Xu Daikui added, "And you can't let anyone look at your notebook."

Once she recovers, she will go through the divorce proceedings with Zhou Yan. At this crucial juncture, Xu Meng must not make any mistakes.

Seeing her mother so cautious, could it be that she was still worried about that uncle who was a bad guy last night?

She then looked down and wrote a sentence in her notebook.

"Mom, that uncle cooked for me last night."

"He cooked it himself?"

Xu Daikui frowned.

Yes, his cooking is delicious.

Xu Daikui was instantly stunned.

...

Zhou Family Manor.

Uncle Liu followed Xu Daikui to the living room, and seeing Zhou Yanci there, he didn't dare to go in.

They waited until Xu Daikui came out and saw her holding a little girl's hand, walking away with unsteady steps.

He recalled that she had a fever all night, but Zhou Yanci didn't even see her off, so he probably didn't know what had happened to her.

After a moment of silence, he mustered his courage and prepared to go inside and report the truth of last night to Zhou Yanci.

But just as he took a step, Xu Jiaojiao walked in, wearing high heels.

Seeing the solemn look on Butler Liu's face, she asked, "Uncle Liu, what happened?"

This morning I overheard Wen Yayun chatting with her mother, saying that Zhou Yanci brought a little girl home last night, and even Xu Daikui, who never sets foot in the Zhou family home, came to stay overnight.

She was extremely anxious.

He rushed over to check the situation as soon as he got up.

Uncle Liu knew that Xu Jiaojiao and her mother were the old lady's saviors. Over the years, the old lady's heart bypass surgery was performed by Xu Jiaojiao's mother, and Xu Jiaojiao also contributed a lot to it.

Wen Yayun and Zhou Nianting both think highly of the Xu family and Xu Jiaojiao, and even Zhou Yanci takes good care of her.

Therefore, he was not on guard against her and told her everything that Xu Daikui had experienced the night before.

Xu Jiaojiao's expression changed in various ways as she listened.

So Xu Daikui was playing a self-inflicted injury trick?

After all these years, she hasn't improved at all.

"Miss Xu, I was going in to tell Mr. Zhou about this. Mr. Zhou doesn't know that his wife has a fever."

Butler Liu explained earnestly.

Seeing that some people sympathized with Xu Daikui made Xu Jiaojiao feel suffocated.

She smiled slightly, "Uncle Liu, you go ahead and do your work. I'll talk to Aci about this, and I'll also try to persuade him to pay more attention to my sister."

Butler Liu nodded, "That's good. Miss Xu, you are truly a kind and beautiful person."

Xu Jiaojiao smiled slightly and went into the living room.

Just then, they ran into Zhou Yanci, who was dressed in a suit and tie and was about to leave.
