  Looking at the girl who was talking to him like a stranger, Xiao Yan felt his heart ache. As his biological sister, she was supposed to take his hand intimately and affectionately call him brother, but now she stood beside others and called him cousin aloofly.

  A touch of sarcasm flickered across Xiao Jing’s eyes when he saw Xiao Yan’s reaction. Even though Xiao Yan wanted Xiao Rou to return to their family, his attitude had not been firm, as if the matter had nothing to do with him and Xiao Rou was not that important to him, so why did he appear as if hurt now?

  At this thought, Xiao Jing couldn’t help but remind Xiao Yan, “Cousin, Rourou is talking to you.”


  Knowing what Xiao Jing was thinking, Tang Xi was speechless at his guilty pleasure. It was impossible for her to call Xiao Yan as brother, however, because she was not Xiao Rou; she had no special feelings for him. She was only good to whomever was good to her. Since she was Xiao Hongli’s daughter now, she would of course call Xiao Hongyi’s son as cousin.

  Therefore…… Tang Xi smiled and looked at Xiao Yan. “Did you come to see Grandpa, Cousin?”


  Upon hearing Tang Xi call Xiao Yan as cousin without any difficulty, Grandpa Xiao felt slightly uncomfortable, but that was the fault of his eldest son and his family—he wouldn’t do anything for them.

  Xiao Yan froze for a minute before he nodded and said, “Yes, I have something to attend to in a place nearby, so I came by to see Grandpa. How about you?”


  Before Tang Xi could speak, Xiao Sa rushed to say, “Well, Rourou has been changing so greatly recently. She changes her face almost every minute. We were afraid that Grandpa wouldn’t be able to recognize her if we came by later, so we brought Rourou here to see Grandpa.”


  Tang Xi was speechless. Changed a face every minute? Was she a monster?

  Despite her face changing very quickly due to 008, to a frightening degree even, it was impossible for them to be unable to recognize her.

  Xiao Yan turned his eyes to Tang Xi’s face. Indeed, just as Xiao Sa said, each time he saw her, she seemed to have become more beautiful, and she seemed to possess a natural noble temperament which no one could ignore.

  Even ten Xiao Jinnings would be no match for her.

  He wondered what kind of spell Xiao Jinning had cast over his parents. Why did they abandon their biological daughter and instead put beside them a girl who had no blood ties with them?

  Tang Xi didn’t know what Xiao Yan was thinking. She glared Xiao Sa and said cutely, “Sa, you made fun of me again. I’m gonna tell Mom tonight and ask her to avenge me!”


  “All right, my little princess, don’t tell Mom. Look, Yao is going to devour me alive.” Xiao Sa reached out a finger and scratched Tang Xi’s nose. “You little cutie, I surrender!”


  Tang Xi gave him a dark look. Xiao Jing laughed and said, “Oh boy, serves you right!”


  Grandpa Xiao laughed watching them frolicking about. Even Xiao Yao, who was always poker-faced, showed a smile.

  Xiao Yan was greatly upset upon seeing them being as intimate as a family. He should be the one frolicking with Xiao Rou. Why did the little girl who dared not say a word in his family become so lively and adorable when she stayed with the Xiao brothers? And she was even becoming increasingly beautiful with each passing day.

  Xiao Yan knew that Xiao Rou didn’t take plastic surgery because there was no difference to her facial features; only her skin had changed. Moreover, her skin color was very natural, so she didn’t seem have to received an injection of a beauty needle. Was it true that environment changed everything?

  “Grandpa, since they are here with you, I’ll leave first.” Xiao Yan didn’t want to see his sister being so intimate to other people, so he just wanted to leave here as quickly as possible.

  As his dear granddaughter was here, Grandpa Xiao didn’t have time to take care of Xiao Yan, so he nodded and asked him to take care. When Xiao Yan was about to leave, Xiao Yao said he would send him out.

  Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing exchanged a look, before continuing to amuse Grandpa Xiao with Tang Xi.

  Tang Xi really liked Grandpa Xiao because when she stayed with him, she felt as if she had returned to her own grandpa. She truly hoped there would be someone accompanying her grandpa for her.

  Xiao Yao went out of the Xiao Family’s mansion with Xiao Yan. The latter stopped, looked expressionlessly back at Xiao Yao, and asked flatly, “What’s the matter?”


  Not one for beating around the bush, Xiao Yao went straight to the point. “I hope you won’t tell your family about Rourou’s current situation. We don’t want anyone to disturb her.”


  Xiao Yan frowned, asking, “What do you mean?”


  “Cousin, you are so smart. I don’t think you don’t know what I mean.” Staring at Xiao Yan, Xiao Yao said, “I think you know what Uncle and Aunt are thinking. They abandoned Rourou but kept Xiao Jinnin because, firstly, Xiao Jinning is engaged with Liu Chengyu, and secondly, they have raised her for over 20 years and have affection for her, so they would rather abandon their biological daughter. However, I’m not sure whether they will do something after they see the present Rourou, or even take her away from us. Rourou is not an item. You can’t decide her future simply according to your benefits. Besides, there is a snake in your home. Do you think that woman won’t do anything crazy if she found out that Rourou is doing so well, or has become so beautiful?”


  Xiao Yan frowned. “Rourou is my biological sister and my parents’ biological daughter.”


  “But you chose Xiao Jinning over her,” Xiao Yao said coldly. “We don’t want Xiao’s Group, and we haven’t scrambled for family property with you, but that doesn’t mean we’ll let you take away what belongs to us.”


  “It depends on who Rourou will choose in the end, right?” Xiao Yan said with a scowl.

  Rourou was his sister and he wanted her to come back to them, but he didn’t expect his parents were so stupid! And he was reluctant to be distracted by this trivial matter.

  “She has made a choice,” Xiao Yao said defiantly. “Her choice now is her best choice.”


  Xiao Yan snorted and opened the door of his car, saying, “Not really,” before getting in the car right away.

  However, he had to admit that Xiao Yao was right. That woman had been coveting his family’s property. With the help of Liu’s Group, perhaps the shares of Xiao’s Group would finally fall into her hands. She was not so easy to control.

  It was as if his parents were being bewitched by that woman, however; they believed in every single word she said and even abandoned their biological daughter for her. He didn’t know how to persuade them.

  Xiao Yan’s hands tightened as he held the steering wheel. Thinking of the girl he met in the Xiao Family’s mansion just now, he couldn’t remember what she looked like before.
