Little Cotton Jacket

My other novel, I Have a CEO Friend, has been updating for a while. Come check it out! Sheng Xia had always been a good girl. She never hit back or talked back. After graduating from middle school, her adoptive mother forced her to quit school and stay home to look after her younger brother, and she never complained. Because her birth mother was a murderer. After her birth mother was released from prison, Sheng Xia worried about her adoptive parents and her husband, so she went to see her in secret. Later, her husband slapped her. When her birth mother found out, she chased him all around the house, beating him. Sheng Xia just tugged at the fierce woman's clothes and said softly, "It's against the law to hit people. Don't break the law again." Later, Sheng Xia died. Her adoptive parents and husband split the insurance payout. The woman, meanwhile, spent twenty years making enemies and eventually sent the person responsible for what happened back then to prison. After the culprit was sent to prison, she was reborn on the night Sheng Xia had died. This time, she didn't call her husband. She called that woman instead. At the very least... at the very least, she had to tell her who the culprit was. She couldn't let her go searching for the killer like that again. A mother who takes revenge for every slight and never lets anyone get away with anything. A daughter who believes in keeping the peace and enduring everything. P.S. The female lead's mother was originally an exceptionally accomplished traditional lady from a wealthy family, not a psychopathic killer. Years ago, she was the greatest victim of all, driven to desperation until her thinking took an extreme turn. She served fifteen years in prison and paid for her impulsive actions. I hope she can be given the chance to start over. Thanks to reader Da Mao Mao for commissioning the adorable character design, based on the original illustration by Ke Ke Huan. Please add my upcoming novel next door to your reading list! Title: I Have a CEO Friend Xia Sheng and Yue Qin are the kind of couple who make people believe in love. They fell in love at first sight in their first year of high school, dated in college, got married after graduation, and Xia Sheng became pregnant during their first year at work. They had a son. When their son was one, he was diagnosed with mutism. Life was hard for the young couple, but they were still happy. The company Yue Qin worked for got a new CEO, a rich second-generation heir who had no idea how ordinary people lived. At the company annual dinner, where employees brought their families, the new CEO fired Yue Qin without mercy simply because his son hadn't said a word of congratulations. He even claimed that Yue Qin's mute son hurt the company's image. When Yue Qin got home, he saw his wife and child but didn't mention being fired. He just hurriedly started looking for another job. The next day, the new CEO got into a drunk-driving accident and fell into a coma. When the new CEO opened his eyes, he saw the employee he'd fired the day before, gazing at him with tender affection. "Daddy's good boy, Daddy's going to work. Protect Mommy at home today, okay?" All he could do was babble and throw a tantrum. A little scene At first: Watching the young couple act all lovey-dovey. CEO: Where'd these idiots come from? Later: There's a gorgeous woman at the company who has a crush on Yue Qin. CEO: Damn! Is this wicked woman trying to break up my family? A story about a sweet, naive dad raised in a loving family, a fierce mom healed by her sweet, naive husband, and their friend, a domineering CEO, who together make up a strange little family of three.
