  Henyee

  Tang Xi grew wide-eyed; she hadn’t expected Qiao Liang to say what he did. He was just trying to stir up trouble!

  Sure enough, Xiao Yao pounced forward to throw a punch at him. Qiao Liang easily dodged his attack and stared at Xiao Yao coldly, saying, “Mr. Xiao Yao, if you want to fight, let’s find a spacious place.”


  Xiao Jing grabbed his brother’s hand, stepped forward and cast a deep look at Qiao Liang. “What do you mean by this, Qiao Liang?!” he asked in a cold voice.

  Qiao Liang looked at Xiao Jing, and then looked around at the crowd, answering, “I meant what I said.”


  Xiao Sa looked darkly at Qiao Liang, then turned his eyes to Tang Xi and asked coldly, “Rourou, tell me what’s going on here? When did you come to know Qiao Liang?”


  Everyone looked at Tang Xi. It was easier to ask her than Qiao Liang.

  Qiao Liang also looked deeply at Tang Xi. The latter forced a smile and replied awkwardly, “I don’t understand what he’s talking about. Mr. Qiao, that’s not what you asked me just now.”


  “Then what did he ask you?” The crowd asked in unison.

  Tang Xi touched her head. Sure enough, once you told a lie, you would have to tell another lie to patch up the first. This was really tiring!

  “As I have a good relationship with Aunt Qiao, I promised to go to accompany her every Saturday, and her condition did improve as a result. But because I stayed in the hospital for a week, Aunt Qiao stopped eating after visiting me……” Tang Xi swallowed before continuing, “Then Mr. Qiao found out that his mother wasn’t eating, so……” Tang Xi tried to continue, only to find that she couldn’t.

  “Are you referring to the days when you were in a coma?” He Wanyi asked.

  Looking gratefully at He Wanyi as if she was her savior, Tang Xi nodded hard and replied, “Yes, yes. I explained it to Mr. Qiao just now, so we’ve cleared up the misunderstanding.”


  “Qiao Liang, you made such a fuss just because of this trivial matter?” Yang Mukun said, shaking his head. “You gave us a fright.”


  Qiao Liang raised his eyebrows and sneered, “Do you mean to say that my mother’s health is a trivial matter?”


  Yang Mukun immediately apologized, “Sorry, I was wrong!”


  Why was he blamed at every move? Was he under a curse?

  While the others believed Tang Xi’s words, the Xiao brothers didn’t. Little Five had said that Qiao Liang was talking to Rourou because of Tang Xi, and Rourou had been looking so strange just now; it was clear that she was trying to make up a story but couldn’t straighten out her lie in the end.

  Xiao Jing said, “It’s past two o’clock now. Rourou was just discharged from the hospital and shouldn’t go back home too late. Let’s go home.” He looked at Qiao Liang and continued, “We all drank tonight. Can you drive us home?” Then he turned his eyes to Little Five and Qiao Liang’s men and finished, “You lot send the others back home.”


  Little Five looked at Qiao Liang, who gave a nod in response.

  Little Five thought Young Master must have found the answer he wanted to know, as he wouldn’t be so calm otherwise. He even saw Young Master smile!

  Little Five looked uncertainly at Tang Xi and thought to himself with a frown,

  As the crowd dispersed, the Xiao brothers and sister got into their car with Qiao Liang. Qiao Liang drove, while Tang Xi sat in the co-driver’s seat. The others narrowed their eyes and got in the backseats without saying anything. As soon as the door was closed, Xiao Jing asked in a cold voice, “Qiao Liang, you’d better clarify what’s going on. Aren’t you looking for Tang Xi? What does it have to do with Rourou?”


  Qiao Liang took a deep look at Tang Xi, but she looked out of the window. She thought she’d better keep silent now.

  Qiao Liang looked back at the three as he started the engine, saying, “What do you want to know?”


  Xiao Yao asked, “Why did Little Five say you couldn’t be calm when it came to Miss Tang? And why do you treat Rourou so differently?”


  Tang Xi’s heart plopped down; Yao really was a person of keen perception. It seemed that they were going to find out that she was not a little fairy……

  Alas, it had been so hard for her to make up that lie, but it was going to be exposed so soon.

  Qiao Liang looked sideways at Tang Xi, swerved the car and drove it directly to the entrance of the central park on the corner, where he said, “Get off.”


  Everyone got off the car and so did Tang Xi. She subconsciously made to walk towards Qiao Liang when Xiao Yao grabbed her collar and dragged her towards him. Tang Xi hurriedly stopped her feet, turned around and smiled at Xiao Yao. “Yao~”


  Xiao Yao gave a grunt in response before looking at Qiao Liang, who proceeded to grab Tang Xi’s hand and walk forward, ignoring the Xiao brothers. Xiao Jing took a deep breath and gritted his teeth as he said, “Qiao Liang, don’t make me beat you. Let go of my sister!”


  Qiao Liang held up Tang Xi’s hand and looked at the three. “Ask her whether she wants me to let her go?”


  Tang Xi was actually tempted by his act, but she pretended to be angry and shouted righteously, “Release me!”


  Qiao Liang froze and looked sadly at Tang Xi, who felt her heart ache. She said softly, “Okay, you can hold my hand. Just hold it.” Alas, the man seemed to have learnt to take advantage of her guilt and was continuing to act pitiful and innocent in front of her since he found out about her guilt towards him on the balcony…… Was this person really the Qiao Liang she knew?

  A hidden smile trembled on Qiao Liang’s lips and a soft gleam flashed through his eyes. Xiao Yao couldn’t bear it and threw a punch him. Qiao Liang reacted by pulling Tang Xi behind him and going over to fight with Xiao Yao. Ten minutes later, neither of them had managed to beat the other. Sitting on the lawn, Tang Xi poked at Xiao Jing and asked, “When did Ah Liang learn Kung Fu?”


  “Rourou!” Xiao Jing widened his eyes in shock. When had they become so intimate that she called Qiao Liang ‘Ah Liang’?!

  Tang Xi, realizing that she had made a slip of the tongue, chuckled and continued to ask, “Yao is a Kung Fu master, right? But why do I feel they’re on the same level in this aspect?”


  After twenty minutes of fighting, the two men finally reached a truce because neither of them could beat the other. Qiao Liang said with a laugh, “Mr. Xiao Yao is really a worthy Special Forces soldier. You’re really good at martial arts.”


  Xiao Yao replied with a snort, “President Qiao isn’t bad either.”


  Xiao Jing stared at Qiao Liang wide-eyed as he asked, “How do you know my brother’s identity?”


  Qiao Liang rolled his eyes. “Do you think everyone is as dumb as you, not knowing about your own brother’s job despite living under the same roof as him?”


  Xiao Sa said, “Qiao Liang, don’t keep us guessing. Spit it out—what happened between you and Rourou?”


  Qiao Liang was silent for a while before replying, “Xixi had an airplane crash on July 9th.”


  Xiao Yao frowned. “What does this have to do with Rourou?”


  Xiao Jing said, “Xiao Rou was hospitalized in a car accident that day, remember?”


  Qiao Liang nodded. “Then what else do you want to ask?”


  Something suddenly occurred to the three brothers and they all looked at Tang Xi in astonishment. Tang Xi pursed her lips, smiled and said apologetically, “Sorry, brothers, I really didn’t mean to deceive you all, but the matter about me coming back to life after death is simply beyond belief, so I didn’t know how to tell you about it.”


  “But you……”


  “I acquired those abilities after I woke up in another girl’s body. I don’t know why it happened.”
