  Seeing Qiao Yuxin greet her, Tang Xi happily went over to crouch in front of her and give a greeting. “I’m alright now. Thanks for your concern, Aunt Qiao, and I’m sorry that I couldn’t have dinner with you last time.”


  Qiao Yuxin smiled and patted Tang Xi on the shoulder. “It doesn’t matter. I didn’t expect that you still remembered that. I heard you came to the Yang Family, so I followed you here.”


  Seeing that they were so intimate, Yuan Lihua couldn’t help asking, “When did you two come to know each other?”


  The others also looked at them with puzzlement, including Yang Jingxian. Although Qiao Yuxin had a good temper, as the daughter of the Qiao Family, she was not quite approachable and could sometimes even be eccentric. After she had a car accident, she refused to see anyone, even including her old friends. Why did Rourou know her?

  Besides, Qiao Yuxin didn’t seem to have come to visit the Yang Family at all, but seemed more like she had come here to support Xiao Rou in case she was despised by the Yang Family people as it was her first time coming to visit them.

  Although Qiao Yuxin was no longer that noble heiress of the Qiao Family, her son was now the leader of Qiao’s International Group. She even brought her son with her, which showed how important Xiao Rou was in her heart.

  Qiao Yuxin smiled as she touched Tang Xi’s hair and looked at her tenderly. Qiao Liang, who was standing by the side, said, “My mom and Xiao Rou used to be in the same sanatorium. Xiao Rou didn’t know her identity back then and often chatted with her. My mom is very fond of her and often asked me to invite her to visit our home after she left the sanatorium. Last time, Xiao Rou promised to accompany my mom for dinner on Saturday, but she failed to come due to the car accident. After my mom heard that Xiao Rou had been discharged from the hospital, she insisted that I accompany her to visit Xiao Rou.” Then he cast a tender glance at Tang Xi and smiled as he finished, “I heard Aunt Yang and her family were coming here today, so we followed you here.”


  Yuan Lihua nodded and looked at Tang Xi with a smile that was more gentle than before. She said, “Oh, Rourou is so popular. Do you know how hard it is to get close to your Aunt Qiao? We’ve tried countless times to visit and chat with her, but she rejected us every time. Please spend more time with her in case she gets autism.”


  Yang Jingxian laughed and cast a seemingly annoyed glance at Yuan Lihua, despite clearly sounding pleased. “What are you talking about? Rourou still has classes to attend.”


  Qiao Yuxin didn’t pay any attention to the others. After chatting with Xiao Rou for a while, she greeted General Yang respectfully. “Uncle, sorry for worrying you. I should have come to visit you earlier.”


  Qiao Yuxin’s mother, Yang Lan, was the cousin of Yang Weiguo. Although Qiao Liang was no longer blood-related to the Yang Family people, they were still relatives.

  Yang Weiguo took a look at Qiao Yuxin and said solemnly, “Let’s go to the house. Don’t stand here talking.”


  Although the Yang Family lived in a military compound, their house was rebuilt after they got the permission. It was much larger than other houses and had a big living room, so it was not crowded even though there were so many people sitting in the living room. Yang Weiguo, sitting in a black leather armchair, looked at Qiao Yuxin and asked her seriously, “What’s your plan for the future? Live in misery for the rest of your life? Our Yang Family’s child shouldn’t be so weak.”


  Qiao Yuxin’s mother and father had already died, so now she had no relatives apart from Qiao Liang and Yang Weiguo……

  When Qiao Yuxin heard Yang Weiguo’s words, a gloomy gleam flashed through her eyes. Yang Jingxian said, “Dad, we haven’t experienced what Yuxin has been through. You can’t judge her like this.” Qiao Yuxin shook her head at Yang Jingxian. Tang Xi patted Qiao Yuxin’s hand to comfort her, and latter smiled at her before turning her eyes to Yang Weiguo and saying, “Uncle, you’re right. My enemies would be happy to see me continue to live in misery. I didn’t do anything wrong. Why should I be punished like this?”


  “So you’ve decided to stand up?” Yang Weiguo sent a questioning look at Qiao Yuxin and she nodded in response. “Yes. It’s just as Rourou said—I shouldn’t be weak any longer. I’ll take a good rehabilitation program, let myself stand up again and let those who hurt me get their due.”


  Tang Xi blinked. When did she say that?

  Seeing Tang Xi’s look, Qiao Liang could not help smiling. Then something suddenly occurred to him and he looked deeply at Tang Xi. Every time someone mentioned that ungrateful b*stard, he would be gloomy for several days. But now with her around, he no longer felt angry……

  Yang Weiguo turned his eyes to Tang Xi and continued to gaze at her for about five minutes. Tang Xi smiled at him and didn’t appear to be uneasy under his stare. A twinge of surprise flickered across Yang Weiguo’s eyes. Even his son couldn’t stand his stare for so long, but this girl didn’t turn a hair. She was really a special girl!

  Yang Weiguo asked Tang Xi, “Rourou, how did you convince your Aunt Qiao?”


  Tang Xi smiled, her eyes shining as she replied, “We were both betrayed by our loved ones, so we could understand each other. But it seems that I’m luckier than Aunt Qiao.” Yang Weiguo raised an eyebrow and then nodded as he thought of Xiao Rou’s identity. Xiao Rou came to his daughter’s home because she was abandoned by her biological parents.

  Yang Jingxian sat next to Tang Xi, held her hand and then told Yang Weiguo, “Rourou is the lucky star of our family. It seems that she’s your lucky star too.”


  Qiao Yuxin’s eyes sparkled with a sly light and she said, “No, she’s the lucky star of my family.”


  Qiao Yuxin recalled how when her son returned home today, he had suddenly stuttered that he wanted to visit the Yang Family with her, and she refused. Her son couldn’t persuade her and could only tell her that Xiao Rou was also there. She tricked him into telling her the truth. It turned out that her son had fallen for that girl……

  She couldn’t get the details out of him on the way, so she decided to interrogate her silly son when she returned home tonight on how he fell in love with this little girl.

  But this girl was really a good girl. She was quite sensible and most importantly, she found her quite congenial to her, and very few people gave her this feeling.

  The others didn’t understand why they were so intimate. Qiao Yuxin didn’t explain, but the Xiao brothers all scowled. Damn! How could Qiao Liang use his mom like this?! He really played dirty!

  However, this dirty-playing man only gazed at the girl in front of his eyes, forgetting everything else.

  “I didn’t expect Rourou to be so popular,” Yang Muqing remarked.

  Tang Xi smiled at Yang Muqing and said, “I’m really flattered.”
