Translator:HenyeeEditor:Henyee
No one present was stupid. Seeing Tao Yans evasive eyes, they knew that she was definitely afraid of something, but they still dared not believe Tang Xis bold guess. If it really was as what she said, then when had this conspiracy begun? How many years ago?
Realizing her slip of the tongue, Tao Yan was in a hurry to leave, but then she saw Xiao Jinning being suddenly pushed into the hospital by Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa, so she stopped and looked at Tang Xi, crying out, What do you want?!
Tang Xi sneered and looked coldly at them. Afraid? Unfortunately, its too late. Looking at Xiao Jinning, who walked over with a frown, she said coldly, There are too many people here. Lets find another place to talk. This is a hospital. Wed better not make a scene here.
Finished speaking, she walked ahead without looking at the others, arms folded over her chest. Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing watched Tang Xi go to the elevator before pushing Xiao Jinning after her without any expression on their faces.
This was Linan Hospital, which was sponsored by Xiao Hongli and his family, so they had an office here. Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing certainly knew what Tang Xi wanted and thus they pushed Xiao Jinning into the spacious the office of the hospitals president. Tang Xi sat down on the black sofa and stared at Xiao Jinning, who had been silent the entire time, then she smiled and said, Congratulations. Even though you were kicked out of the Xiao Family, some still try to defend you and help solve your living expenses.
Xiao Jinning sneered. She didnt know what happened, so she laughed coldly and said, What? Are you envious? Sadly, Grandpa and Grandma will always stand on my side, no matter you
Her words were interrupted by Tang Xi, who was sitting on the large black leather sofa with folded arms, looking like a queen. Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing, one leaning against the door and the other sitting on the sofa armrest, gazed at the two of them. Wearing a faint smile on her face, Tang Xi said, Why should I care about your so-called grandpa and grandma who arent blood-related to me? For what? Im sorry, but my grandpa is General Yang, not some piece of uneducated trash.
What do you mean? Xiao Jinning frowned. Then something occurred to her and she sneered, Even though Grandpa and Grandma arent blood-related to me, theyre still on my side, while you, their biological granddaughter, are nothing in their eyes!
Xiao Jinning, since you like your grandpa and grandma so much, keep an eye on them. Dont let them go out, make a spectacle of themselves and cut off their own retreat! Tang Xi cast a deep, cold look at her.
Noticing the connotations in Tang Xis words, Xiao Jinning frowned and asked in a low voice, What do you mean?
Tang Xi raised an eyebrow in response, and it was then that the office door was opened and Yang Jingxian brought Tao Yan and Lin Ruozhi in. Tang Xi took a look at them and said indifferently, You can ask them.
Tao Yan was obviously relieved when she saw Xiao Jinning was not injured. She stepped forward to hold Xiao Jinnings hand and gently comforted her, Jinning, dont be afraid. Grandma is here. As long as Grandma is here, no one can hurt you.
Xiao Jinning felt jittery at Tang Xis words. She was not in the mood to listen to Tao Yans hypocritical words. She hummed in response as she stared at Tang Xi and said coldly, Make yourself clear!
Dont you know that your grandma pushed my mom down a flight of stairs, and now she is lying in the ward below? I assure you that your good grandma will be punished. Otherwise, wouldnt my mom have been pushed down the stairs for nothing?
Xiao Jinning looked at Tao Yan, who did not dare to act rude in front of her and merely said awkwardly, Jinning, I didnt mean to do that. I just gave her a little nudge and she fell down the stairs. I did that for you. You know, they must be responsible for your current situation
Xiao Jinning then turned her eyes to Tang Xi, saying, So what? Grandma didnt mean to do it.
Then what about you? Youve committed intentional injury. Tang Xi changed the topic as she looked at Xiao Jinning and continued slowly, I think youre clear on what you did Today, you had someone put glass fragments in the hot spring and make me fall, which counts as an intentional injury. I wonder how youre going to defend yourself since Ive got human testimony and material evidence!
Nonsense! Tao Yans voice rang.
Ignoring Tao Yan, Tang Xi merely stared at Xiao Jinning with cold eyes. Xiao Jing paused before jumping forward, exclaiming, That person is you! The model who replaced me is you!
Surprised? Tang Xi, who had been sitting there like a queen, abruptly stood up to look into Xiao Jinnings eyes. You took everything from me. All I did afterward was learned from you. Besides, I was aboveboard and did nothing against the law!
Great! Hearing her words, Tao Yan walked two steps forward. It turns out that youre the one who took everything from Jinning. Youre to blame for getting her into such trouble! How can you be so vicious?
Seeing how Tao Yan took her side, a gleam of complacence flashed across Xiao Jinnings eyes. She looked at Tang Xi and smiled arrogantly.Yes, you took everything from me. But so what? Grandma and Grandpa will keep scolding you like this! Do you think youll be happy?
However, Tang Xis expression didnt even change as she stared at Tao Yan, gave her a cold smile and said sharply, I dont think I can compete with you in being evil, Ms. Tao. You stole the child of another family, kept her as a slave and forced my mom to do all the farm work and homework. Even when my mom earned her tuition fees herself, you would beat her hard and take money away from her. If she wasnt smart enough to hide a little of what she earned outside, would she have made the achievements she has today?! Seeing Tao Yans face change abruptly, Tang Xi continued in a cold voice, Do you think no one knows what you did because so many years has passed?
You people have two daughters. How do you lot have the cheek to ask my mom for money despite having abused her for all that time? How about your biological daughter? She just gives you the cold shoulder, doesnt she?
Xiao Jinning looked over at Tang Xi in shock, asking, What did you say?
Tang Xi smiled. Seeing how Xiao Jinning was shocked, she said with a faint smile, Are you disappointed? You thought you could use Tao Yan and Lin Ruozhi to make my future life difficult, but they cut off your only retreat as well as their own.
Tang Xi bit off each word that followed with daggers in her eyes. Im sorry, but you cant get what you want.
