nBecause the dress was too formal, Tang Xi told Yang Jingxian that she wanted to put it on after reaching the restaurant, as she would attract too much attention walking on the street wearing such a dress. Yang Jingxian thought what she said made sense and agreed.
nTang Xi changed into her previous set of clothing. The stylist had wrapped up the dress by the time she came out changed, and Yang Jingxian had paid for it and was waiting for her. Tang Xi came up to her, held her arm and smiled as she said, “Let’s go, Mom.”
nJust then, a friend of Xiao Jinning spotted Tang Xi on the way back from the toilet. Seeing Tang Xi act like a spoiled child before Yang Jingxian, she sneered, “Shameless b*tch!”
nYang Jingxian scowled and was about to step in, but Tang Xi quickly stopped her and smiled. “Mom, why bother quarreling with an uneducated person? We’re not in the same league with her.”
nYang Jingxian didn’t understand Tang Xi’s words at first, but seeing that woman scowl, she soon figured out what her daughter was talking about—she was deriding her as an ‘uneducated person’!
n“Who are you talking about?”
n“You know it!” Tang Xi sneered, and then walked outside with Yang Jingxian.
nWhen they had walked out, their car had arrived. After getting on the car, Yang Jingxian thought for a while before saying, “That girl is Jinning’s friend.”
nTang Xi nodded and replied, “Yes, I saw her hanging out with Xiao Jinning.”
nThat woman must have heard something bad about her from Xiao Jinning, which was why she insulted her.
nSlightly angry at Xiao Jinning, Yang Jingxian said sullenly, “Unfortunately, your mother doesn’t know her real face and still thinks she’s a good girl.”
n“No!” Tang Xi held onto Yang Jingxian’s arm and gave a mischievous smile. “My mother has seen through her long ago and is very nice to me!”
nAmused by her words, Yang Jingxian patted Tang Xi’s hand and nodded. “Yes, I am Rourou’s mother.”
nIn fact, the last time she saw the girl, she had just been found by Jinning after being driven out of the Xiao Family and she had looked so miserable—dark, skinny and almost dying. At that time, she had felt truly sad for this poor girl, but now she looked whiter and prettier than before, and she was really cute.
nShe was just like the daughter she had dreamed about who would love to nestle in her arms…
nYang Jingxian had wondered at first whether she was being too impulsive, but now it seemed that she made the right choice.
nImmersed in maternal love, Tang Xi had no idea what Yang Jingxian was thinking about.
nSince Yang Jingxian needed to change clothes and it was still early, they went back to Xiao Hongli’s villa downtown instead of the restaurant. “Because everyone in our family needs to work, we live downtown and rarely go back to the Xiao Family mansion.”
nAs Yang Jingxian led Tang Xi home, she said, “You will live here with us in future.”
nTang Xi nodded and followed Yang Jingxian to her room. “Does Grandpa live in the mansion?”
nYang Jingxian turned back to look at her, only to see her following behind at ease without looking around like a diffident country girl, and she smiled as she replied, “Yes, your grandpa lives there.”
n“Oh?” Tang Xi was a little upset because Grandpa Xiao gave her the same feeling she got from her own grandpa, so she really enjoyed staying with him.
nSeeing that she didn’t want to part with her grandpa, Yang Jingxian comforted her, saying, “Your grandpa is not well, and the air in the mansion is better, so he lives there to recover. If you miss him, you can ask the driver to take you to visit.”
nTo Tang Xi’s surprise, her room had been prepared!
nAnd it was a pink princess bedroom!
nLooking at Tang Xi’s surprised face, Yang Jingxian felt a little helpless. She patted her forehead and said laughingly, “Your father prepared this room for you. He has always wanted a daughter.”
nTang Xi had thought Yang Jingxian prepared the room, but it turned out that it was prepared by her gentle and amiable dad, who had wanted to be her father from the very beginning and then really became her dad!
n“Haha… I really like it…!”
nThis room was perfect!
n“I’m glad you like it.”
nAs soon as Yang Jingxian changed clothes, they received Xiao Hongli’s call urging them to come quickly. Yang Jingxian walked out with Tang Xi. “Tomorrow we’ll buy you some clothes, and we’ll find a school for you this September. You’re still young and you need to go to school.”
nShe truly took pity on this girl who had been distanced from her parents since childhood. It was not her fault that her mother mistook another girl for her, yet she had to bear the consequences. That was too cruel for this little girl, so even though her biological parents didn’t want her, she wanted to compensate her.
nTang Xi felt somewhat helpless at her words, but she couldn’t refuse since even though she could turn to 008 for help, he couldn’t tamper with their memories, nor she could show them a couple of diplomas of foreign universities, so she could only go to school now! Fortunately, she could skip grades!
n“Okay, Mom, it’s up to you,” Tang Xi replied and nodded with a smile.
nWhen Yang Jingxian and Tang Xi reached Unique Taste Restaurant, most of those invited had already arrived there. Xiao Jing was standing outside, waiting for them. Upon seeing that Tang Xi was still wearing the clothes she did this morning, he frowned and asked, “Mom, didn’t you choose a dress for Rourou? Why isn’t she wearing it?”
n“The dress is too formal and Rourou felt a bit shy,” Yang Jingxian answered, smiling. “Let’s get in. She can put it on in the restaurant’s dressing room.”
nXiao Jing nodded and brought them in. He told them while walking, “Grandpa (Note: Yang Jingxian’s father, Xiao Jing’s maternal grandfather) is also here. Mom, you’d better tell him about Rourou in advance with Dad while I take Rourou to the dressing room.”
nXiao Jing took Tang Xi to a room and said to her softly, “Rourou, you can change into your dress here. I’ll wait for you outside.”
nTang Xi nodded. “Okay. Thank you, Brother.”
nTang Xi went in and put on the new dress. At this time, a system prompt popped up in her mind again…
nSystem: As the host Tang Xi has been performing well, the system now gifts her a temporary gift package. Click to view and use it?
nTang Xi raised her eyebrows and wondered, “A temporary gift package?” and then clicked the button.
nSystem: Gifting the host with two-hour perfect makeup. Click ‘Yes’ to use now.
nTang Xi clicked ‘Yes’.
