Tang Xi got home only to find Xiao Hongyi and Xiao Yan were waiting for her. Xiao Yan stood up from the sofa and came up to her when he saw her come in. “I heard you disappeared after your performance, and you didn’t receive my phone calls. Are you alright?”

Xiao Yan looked Tang Xi up and down with worry as he was talking and was relieved to see that she wasn’t injured.

Tang Xi took out her phone and found there were many unanswered calls from Xiao Yan, and there were also some from Xiao Jing. “I muted my phone, so I didn’t hear your calls. Sorry.”

“As long as you’re alright. It’s late. Go to sleep.”

Tang Xi shook her head and took a look at Lin Ru’s room, saying, “I’m going to do acupuncture for Mom first and then I’ll go to sleep.”

Xiao Hongyi said, “You mom is sleeping. You can give her acupuncture tomorrow morning. It’s too late. Go to sleep.”

Tang Xi took a look at the time, nodded and went upstairs, when Xiao Hongyi called out to her from behind she looked back. “Yes?”

Xiao Hongyi asked, “When did you learn to play the piano?”

“Sa taught me.” Tang Xi smiled and turned upstairs. At the moment she turned around, however, the smile on her face disappeared. As she expected, many people were suspicious of her.

It was understandable. She behaved too suspiciously…

Xiao Yan looked at the back of Tang Xi, pursed his lips and turned to Xiao Hongyi, asking, “Dad, why did you ask Rourou that? She could learn any and many skills. That’s none of our business.” With that, he turned around and went upstairs. Walking only two steps, he suddenly looked back at Xiao Hongyi and said seriously, “Dad, you gotta remember, Rourou is the daughter of Uncle and Aunt, so no matter how many skills she has acquired, it’s normal. She is the Miss of the Xiao Family, not the so-called country bumpkin.”

Tang Xi entered the room and closed the door; she put her ear against the door and listened. When she heard their conversation, a sad gleam flickered across her eyes. She closed her eyes and sighed tiredly.

She was Tang Xi, but had to live with the identity of Xiao Rou. She was tired of living like this, but she couldn’t pour it out her grievances to anyone, because no matter how tired she was, she had to bear it. Only in this way, she could be alive.

When Tang Xi woke up the next morning, it was 8:30. She washed up and then did yoga on the balcony, when she suddenly spotted Little Six sneaking around on the road. Tang Xi felt amused yet also helpless. After finishing yoga, Tang Xi went downstairs to see that Lin Ru was sitting in her wheelchair and having breakfast in the living room.

Hearing sounds from upstairs, Lin Ru looked over her shoulder. When she saw Tang Xi coming down the stairs, she waved to her with a smile. Tang Xi smiled, walking over to her she squatted down and said in a low voice, “Did you sleep well last night, Mommy?”

Lin Ru smiled and nodded. “How… about you… Rourou? Did you… sleep well?”

Although it was intermittently, she could speak. Tang Xi thought, she would be able to speak in flowing sentences if she continued to receive acupuncture for a few days more.

Tang Xi nodded, “Yes, I enjoyed a very sound sleep last night. Perhaps because I was too tired yesterday, I didn’t dream the whole night.”

“Good… Rourou… go and… eat breakfast.” Lin Ru reached out to touch Tang Xi’s hair and pointed to the dining table.

Tang Xi smiled, nodded and stood up to walk to the dining room. She greeted Grandpa Xiao and sat down for breakfast.

After giving Lin Ru acupuncture, Tang Xi made an excuse and left. Little Six had been staring at the door when he finally saw Tang Xi coming out. He hurriedly scurried up to her. “Madam Tang… Xiao…, Young Madam let me take you straight to the company.”

“Just call me Miss.” Tang Xi pulled open the car door and looked at Little Six as she said with a smile, “It sounds strange to call me Madam. After all, I’m only 23 years old.”

Little Six. “…” You have the final say.

The company, Qiao Liang said, was Tang Xi’s company. When she came to the door of her office, she heard someone speaking inside. It could be seen from his tone that his temper may not be very good at that point in time. Tang Xi stood outside and waited for them to finish.

“Do you have to force me like this? I didn’t show up just because I didn’t want to socialize. And you even issued a global arrest warrant and asked your mercenaries to look for me all over the world. And it turns out that you just want me to be the CEO of such a small company? Qiao Liang, are you out of your mind?”

Qiao Liang sounded very leisure. “Didn’t you say you would pay me back?”

“Sh*t! I can give you two companies! Don’t you want my two jewelry plants in Italy? I can give them to you, okay?”

Qiao Liang seemed to chuckle. His low-pitched laughter sounded so charming to Tang Xi. “I don’t want them now.”

“Who the hell owns this company? You don’t want to use it to launder money, do you?” The man sounded a little grumpy

Tang Xi raised her eyebrows. Launder… money?

“Hey, Chu Ling, don’t speak like that. Our Long Xiao never earns illegal money. We don’t need launder money, okay?” The man’s voice sounded mild, but Tang Xi could be sure that this man must be a smiling tiger… wait… Long Xiao? Long Xiao Group?

The number one group in the world!

Tang Xi gave a questioning stare at Little Six who smiled awkwardly and hurriedly pushed open the door before he turned to run away…

The three men in the office, “…”

Tang Xi stood at the door. “… Haha… hello…” She looked at the three men and finally fixed her gaze on Chu Ling’s face. She then widened her eyes and gaped. “Oh… you…”

Chu Ling narrowed his eyes. “It’s you!”

Tang Xi blinked. This man was really lucky… he looked like he was about to die in that toilet. To her surprise, he survived… Of course, the reason might be that her medical skills were really good…

Tang Xi raised her eyebrows and shrugged at Chu Ling. Qiao Liang frowned. “Do you know each other?”

Lu Li was also looking at the two of them with interest. It was supposed to be the first time they met each other, but from their reactions, something interesting might have happened between them.

“Haha…” Tang Xi simpered. “We happened to meet once.”

“Are you sure it was that simple?” Chu Ling narrowed his eyes and stared coldly at Tang Xi. “You’re the first woman who dared threaten me!”

Tang Xi snorted, glanced at Chu Ling and ran up to Qiao Liang for his protection as she made a face at Chu Ling. “You’re also the first person who dared threaten me, although I saved your life!”

Qiao Liang raised his eyebrows and looked at Tang Xi. “What happened between you two?”

Tang Xi took a look at Chu Ling and exclaimed in her heart at what a small world it was. She then told Qiao Liang how she saved Chu Ling’s life in that bathroom back then. Qiao Liang looked at Tang Xi in astonishment and Lu Li was surprised too. “You have medical skills?”
