When Chen Xiaoxiao heard Tang Bingyan’s question, her expression turned slightly awkward as she curled her lips and muttered, “Probably just a blind cat that happened to catch a dead mouse.”
Tang Bingyan fell silent at those words.
After a moment of contemplation, she spoke again, “Xiaoxiao, don’t you feel… like he’s changed?”
Ever since that night two days ago, she had felt like Xu Tian was somehow different. But she couldn’t quite put her finger on what had changed.
Chen Xiaoxiao froze in place.
Then she looked at Tang Bingyan in disbelief.
Had the CEO, after finally giving up on Xu Tian, started to soften again?
No way!
Absolutely not!
Even if Xu Tian seemed to have changed, hadn’t he just been out hugging another woman while Tang Bingyan was unconscious?
She couldn’t let Tang Bingyan fall for his lies again.
With that thought, Chen Xiaoxiao sneered coldly. “He’s changed? He’s definitely scheming something. Tang Zong, this time he was just lucky finding that miracle doctor. Luck and ability aren’t the same thing.”
Tang Bingyan’s beautiful brows furrowed slightly. “Xiaoxiao, I know you’re biased against him, but people do change.”
“Tang Zong, I…”
Chen Xiaoxiao felt a little aggrieved.
She really was thinking about Tang Bingyan’s well-being.
But Tang Bingyan didn’t give her a chance to speak further and cut her off directly. “Enough. I’m tired. Don’t say things like that again. You can go.”
Chen Xiaoxiao opened her mouth, wanting to say something more, but in the end, she said nothing.
Tang Bingyan was still recovering, and she didn’t want to argue with her at a time like this.
With a sigh, Chen Xiaoxiao turned and walked out of the hospital room.
As she closed the door, she suddenly spotted a woman quickly entering the restroom at the end of the corridor.
That back… looked familiar…
“It’s her!”
“What is she doing here?!”
Chen Xiaoxiao’s face turned cold.
That woman was none other than Lin Miaoyin—the same woman who had been caught in bed with Xu Tian just yesterday!
“She’s here to see Xu Tian?”
Chen Xiaoxiao’s expression darkened with icy fury. “Xu Tian, while pretending to care for Tang Zong, you’re sneaking around with this vixen?!”
“Fine. I’ll make sure Tang Zong sees exactly how filthy you are!”
Without hesitation, she stormed toward the restroom.
This was the VIP floor, where every patient room had its own private restroom—no one should’ve needed to use the public one here.
From inside, faint murmuring could be heard—Lin Miaoyin was seemingly on the phone with someone.
Chen Xiaoxiao stepped inside and immediately heard keywords: Xu Tian, Tang Bingyan.
“She really did come for Tang Zong!”
Furious but holding back her anger, she tiptoed quietly to the closed stall door.
At the same time, she pulled out her phone and tapped on the recording app.
Soon, Lin Miaoyin’s voice could be heard again from inside the stall.
“Brother Xu, I really don’t know what to do anymore.”
“Xu Tian wants to take Tang Bingyan’s assets and kill her. I’m so scared!”
What?!
Chen Xiaoxiao trembled violently. Her face went pale.
She’d known Xu Tian was despicable, but she never imagined he would actually want to kill Tang Bingyan!
Why?!
Tang Bingyan had given him everything she could!
She had handed over all of the Tang family’s assets in Jiangcheng to Xu Tian.
What more could he want?
The answer was clear now—he wanted everything, even if it meant taking her life.
That’s why Xu Tian wasn’t divorcing her anymore.
If Tang Bingyan died, as her legal husband, he would inherit everything she owned!
Inside the stall, Lin Miaoyin continued her call, going on about Xu Tian’s elaborate plan to murder Tang Bingyan and inherit her wealth.
Chen Xiaoxiao was furious—so angry she wanted to rip someone apart.
Xu Tian… was a monster with a human face!
About ten minutes later, Lin Miaoyin ended her call.
Hearing movement, Chen Xiaoxiao quickly turned and rushed out of the restroom.
But she was wearing high heels, and her steps made loud noises.
“Who’s there?!”
Lin Miaoyin heard the sound and hurriedly pushed open the stall door.
All she saw was someone’s back fleeing down the corridor.
The call hadn’t ended yet.
On the screen, the name displayed was: Xu Rixin.
“Brother Xu, that was Tang Bingyan’s assistant eavesdropping outside. She’s probably on her way to tell Tang Bingyan everything,” Lin Miaoyin said with a calculated smile.
“You did well, Miaoyin. I promise you, once Xu Tian and Tang Bingyan divorce, I’ll make sure Xu Tian marries you,” Xu Rixin’s voice assured over the phone.
Lin Miaoyin smiled faintly. “Let’s wait until they’re divorced.”
She hung up without another word.
Lifting her head, her expression was unreadable.
“Brother Tian, don’t blame me. I didn’t want to scheme against you. I just love you too much…”
“One day, you’ll realize the one who loves you most in this world… is me.”
Her gaze turned resolute.
Now that Tang Bingyan would know the truth, the divorce should be coming soon, right?
Very soon…
At that moment, inside the VIP ward, Tang Bingyan sat half-upright on the bed, listening to the voice that came from her phone—
“Xu Tian wants to kill Tang Bingyan and take her assets. I’m so scared!”
“Brother Xu, please talk to him!”
…
That voice—she would never forget it for the rest of her life.
It was Lin Miaoyin’s voice.
There was also a photo of Lin Miaoyin hugging Xu Tian on the phone.
Even without seeing Xu Tian’s face, just one glance at the photo was enough for Tang Bingyan to sense the intimate atmosphere between them.
Her face turned frosty, and a deep despair appeared in her eyes. A trace of self-mockery curled at her lips.
In the last few days, Xu Tian had done so many things she had only ever dreamed of.
If not for hearing this recording and seeing this photo…
She might have believed him.
But Xu Tian hadn’t changed at all.
Everything he did was still just for a purpose.
“All of it… everything I have is yours. If you just asked… would I not give it?”
Tang Bingyan muttered dazedly, her voice filled with endless sorrow.
“Tang Zong, please don’t be too heartbroken. A man like that isn’t worth your tears.”
Chen Xiaoxiao, watching Tang Bingyan’s expression, felt just as bitter inside.
Tang Bingyan gave a soft, self-deprecating laugh. “Xiaoxiao, help me process the discharge paperwork.”
