If Lin Jiao were here by Tang Xis side, she would have been instantly frozen into ice by the latters cold tone.

In a panic, Lin Jiao didnt even realize that the other party wasnt Lin Ru. She frowned and said, You know why Im calling you! How dare you order Furao International to not give me money? Send me two hundred thousand Yuan now! I need money.

Hearing Lin Jiao talk to Lin Ru like this, Mrs. Chen and the others raised their eyebrows and looked surprised. Even Tang Xi raised her eyebrows and felt surprised by Lin Jiaos words. Did Lin Jiao and her parents always ask Lin Ru for money like this? And she never refused them?

If this was the case, she could understand why Lin Ru was so profit-orientedshe had to feed her greedy family.

Tang Xi snorted and sniffed, What does that have to do with me? Its still day out and yet youre already dreaming? Wake up!

Lin Jiao was immediately angered by Tang Xis sarcastic words. She glanced at Mrs. Chen, who was staring sarcastically at her, and shouted, Lin Ru, did you forget what you promised Mom when she agreed to you marrying your husband? Didnt you say you would help me live a well-off life? Didnt you say you would raise me for my lifetime? Arent you afraid that Ill tell Mom what you did to me today? You know, if she finds out, youll find yourself in serious trouble.

Hearing her words, Tang Xi could figure out what Lin Ru had been through before. Her heart jolted sharply because she felt sorry for Lin Ru and she spoke in an even colder voice. Then you can go tell your shameless mother and ask her to come settle the accounts with us. I, Xiao Rou, am waiting here for her. Ill wait and see what she can do to my mom. And you, Lin Jiao, you lived by feeding off my moms blood for so long. Its time for you to give back my moms money Tang Xi paused and then went on, Besides, why should I care whether you need money or not? If you need money, earn it by yourself! Our Xiao Family isnt your ATM! You threatened my mother and she would still give you money? Are you out of your mind?

Lin Jiao hadnt expected to be scolded, and neither had she expected the person who answered the phone to not be Lin Ru, but her little b*stard instead. She scowled and asked coldly, Wheres your mother? Let her answer the phone. Hurry up.

Tang Xi smiled coldly, thinking that it was good that Tao Yan and Lin Ruozhi were conceited. They always thought they could handle matters themselves no matter what happened, so after Lin Ru fell down the stairs, they didnt call Lin Jiao to tell her about it. That was why Lin Jiao had made this call to ask for money

Thinking of this, Tang Xi leaned against the wall and said indifferently, My mother said she doesnt want to waste her time on an unimportant person, and she also said you can complain to your mother if you want, but you should call your mother if you need money. Dont bother her.

What did you say? Lin Ru widened her eyes in disbelief. Was that really what Lin Ru said? She was certain that Lin Ru would not dare to say such words at all. With her current social status, what she feared most was her parents making a scene. If this news was spread in City A, she would become a joke of the upper class.

That being the case, Lin Ru should be afraid of them, but what happened to her today? How could she say such words?!

I said I dont give a damn whether you need money or not! Dont bother my mom again. Otherwise, even if she doesnt deal with you, Ill have you beaten up! Believe it or not, you can have a try! Tang Xi replied coldly and hung up the phone. Lin Jiao was so stunned that she didnt know how to react.

After ending the call, Tang Xi turned to Xiao Yan, who was standing beside her, and raised her eyebrows as she asked, Brother, have you finished your business yet?

Xiao Yan nodded and looked deeply at Tang Xi. Was it from Lin Jiao?

Tang Xi smiled and handed the cellphone to Xiao Yan. She called to ask for money. I guess she must have lost money gambling. Jing just sent me a message. Theyve found Lin Jiaos whereabouts and are rushing there overnight. I think shell be brought back to City A by this evening.

Xiao Yan nodded before taking out a cigarette from his cigarette case and lighting it. However, it was then that he saw a gleam of disgust flash through Tang Xis eyes. He paused and then put out the cigarette. When he looked up and saw Tang Xi was surprised, he chuckled and, with apparent happiness, said, Ill stay here tonight. Go home and take a rest. It hasnt been long since you got out of the hospital and you havent fully recovered, so you shouldnt stay up late. Besides, the hospital isnt as comfortable as home. Take a taxi and go back. You can come here again tomorrow morning.

Tang Xi gazed at Xiao Yan, still appearing surprised, and a twinge of embarrassment flashed across the latters face. He clenched his fist as he coughed and said, Go home. Bring breakfast for mom tomorrow morning. Mom will probably wake up tomorrow and shell be very happy to see you bringing her breakfast.

Tang Xi fell into thought for a while before giving a nod. Then Ill go back first. Then she turned to leave. Watching Tang Xis receding figure, Xiao Yan fell into a reverie. After coming to his senses again, he took out a lighter and re-lit the cigarette in his hand, which he regarded with a raised eyebrow. He had never thought he would become a brother who cared about his sister so much.

He would never put out his cigarette for anyone, yet he did it now for his sister whom he did not know well yet

Lin Jiao was staring at her cellphone, but then she looked up hurriedly at Mrs. Chen and said eagerly, Mrs. Chen, dont worry. Ill call my mother. Shes at my sisters home right now. As long as my mom is there, my sister will definitely give me money.

Mrs. Chen looked at the flustered Lin Jiao with a cold smile as she raised her eyebrows and asked, Does Ms. Lin really think thats necessary? What if your mother doesnt answer your phone either? Am I going to have to wait for you all night then?

Lin Jiao replied hurriedly, Let me make one more phone call. Just one. If my mother doesnt answer the phone, Ill Lin Jiao glanced at Mrs. Chen and asked in a low voice, Mrs. Chen, could you give me two more days? Ill go to City A and fetch the money for you myself, okay?

Mrs. Chen laughed, her eyes full of sarcasm. Its not that I dont trust you, but Ms. Lin, you arent a native. How can I trust you?
