Translator:HenyeeEditor:Henyee
It was very late when they arrived back home. Xiao Hongyi asked Xiao Yan and Tang Xi to go to sleep. You have to go to work or school tomorrow, so go to sleep. Ill take care of your mom.
Tang Xi nodded. To be honest, she wasnt close enough with Xiao Hongyi and his family to totally disregard her basic needs for them. She took a look at Lin Ru, saying, Okay, Im going to sleep. Dont sleep too late, Dad.
Tang Xi woke up as usual due to her biological clock in the morning the next day. She went down to the yard to do yoga as usual. But she only did simple movements this morning and didnt stretch her ligaments as aggressively as before. Soon Grandpa Xiao walked out. Seeing Tang Xi doing yoga in the yard, he walked over with a smile. Why didnt you get more sleep since you came back so late last night?
Tang Xi stopped. Im used to getting up early and exercising.
At this moment, Xiao Yan quickly came out. Seeing Grandpa Xiao, he hurriedly stopped and greeted him respectfully. Grandpa.
The smile on Grandpa Xiaos face faded. Looking at Xiao Yan who was in suit, Grandpa Xiao frowned and his face sank. Are you going to work?
Xiao Yan smiled. Our plant in City W has some problem. I have to go there and see it.
Do you have to go there early in the morning? What are the vice-presidents doing? Grandpa Xiao sullenly hit his crutch against the ground and looked at Xiao Yan. I dont come here often. Arent you going to have breakfast with me?
Xiao Yan looked embarrassed and looked at Tang Xi for help, but Tang Xi continued to do yoga. He could only step closer to Grandpa Xiao and say to him in a low voice, Grandpa, an accident happened in the plant. A worker suddenly couldnt breathe and died after coming out of the workshop, so I have to go there personally.
Grandpa Xiao frowned and took a step back, asking solemnly, Why did this happen?
Im not yet sure of the reason yet, so I have to go over personally and appease the family members of the deceased. Xiao Yan looked at his watch and continued, Grandpa, Ill take the 9am flight and my driver has come to pick me up, so I
Okay. Remember to appease that workers family well. Grandpa Xiao didnt stop him.
Xiao Yan took a look at Tang Xi. Sorry, Rourou, you just came here but I cant send you to school.
Tang Xi smiled. Work comes first. Brother, go about your business. She heard what Xiao Yan said to Grandpa Xiao just now. She didnt expect Xiao Yan to be an able president.
After Xiao Yan left, Tang Xi continued to do yoga and chatted with Grandpa Xiao before she went in for breakfast. After breakfast, she heard the car honking outside. Tang Xi quickly took her school bag and rushed out, saying, Grandpa, Im going to school. See you this evening. Before she finished, she had run out of the house.
Xiao Hongyi looked at her receding figure and pursed his lips. Shes always so happy seeing her uncle and his family.
Grandpa Xiao snorted. Who caused this? You asked for this. Who can you blame?
Xiao Hongyi couldnt find a word to refute and could only lower his head and eat breakfast. Im not blaming anyone. I just told the truth.
If you hadnt been so unfair to her, this would never have happened, so youd better keep your mouth shut and mind your tongue! Grandpa Xiao drank up the porridge in his bowl, looked at Xiao Hongyi and continued, And if Rourou wants to go back to Honglis family, youd better not stop her, or else Ill break your leg!
Dad! Xiao Hongyi looked up in shock and said sullenly, How can you be so partial to Hongli?! Im also your son! Rourou is my daughter and is therefore, supposed to live at my home!
Partial? Grandpa Xiao snorted hard and looked at Xiao Hongyi angrily. Im partial to Hongli? Did I make you announce that Rourou was merely your foster daughter? I asked you to acknowledge her as your daughter, but you refused and couldnt wait to throw her to Hongli. Now Rourou has become Honglis daughter and her permanent residence has been registered at Honglis home. And you want her back? Do you think its possible?
But Dad! Rourou has come back to our home! Why should I return her to Hongli? Xiao Hongyi said angrily, Besides, were her biological parents. Shouldnt she stay with us? And well treat her very well!
But she doesnt want to stay with you! Grandpa Xiao looked at him angrily and said coldly, There is no room for discussion. It must be up to Rourou. She can choose where to stay. Nobody can force her. Otherwise dont blame me for being rude!
Xiao Hongyi was speechless and could only soften his attitude. But Rourou has been engaged with Liu Chengyu, not to mention Chengyu likes her a lot. We cant deny this, right?
You wish! Grandpa Xiao jumped to his feet and glared at Xiao Hongyi. You cant use Xiao Jinning, so now you want to use Rourou? I tell you, if you dare force or embarrass Rourou for any reason, Ill break both your legs!
Xiao Hongyi felt that he was being greatly wronged. Dad! Xiao Rou is my daughter! Im doing this for her good! Even though she is the Miss of our Xiao Family, nobody can deny that she lived in the countryside for 23 years. Except Chengyu, which young man from a rich and powerful family will accept her?
Now shes still in school, but what about the future? Xiao Hongyi said coldly, Im planning for her future!
I can feed her if no man wants to marry her! Grandpa Xiao turned around and walked into the living room and said seriously, I dont want to hear you mention this again!
Xiao Hongyi stood up, looked at Grandpa Xiaos back and frowned, saying coldly, Why are you all so muddle-headed?!
For their Xiao Family, the Liu Family was the best choice! Xiao Rou would live a happy life after she married Liu Chengyu!
