  Xiao Jing looked back at Tang Xi and asked with doubt, “What’s up?”


  Tang Xi looked at Qiao Liang and said seriously, “You shouldn’t be here. Go back.” Seeing Qiao Liang frown, Tang Xi grabbed his hand and pleaded him with imploring eyes. “Please, Ah Liang.”


  Qiao Liang took a deep look at Tang Xi, but he said nothing in the end and turned to leave.

  Seeing Qiao Liang leave, Tang Xi looked at the Xiao brothers and asked, “Sa, Jing, can you two do me a favor?”


  Xiao Jing looked confused. “What is it?”


  Tang Xi gave a cold smile with narrowed eyes. “I want to see Xiao Jinning. You guys bring her to the hospital.”


  Xiao Sa looked at Tang Xi, who folded her arms over her chest, a cold gleam flickering across her eyes as she continued, “Xiao Jinning must have had a part in this matter. I’ve checked the information about her. She has a good relationship with her grandpa and grandma. It must have something to do with her for them to come all the way here to make trouble. Bring her over.”


  Although Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing thought it wasn’t good for her to quarrel with Xiao Jinning in the hospital, they didn’t want to go against her will and so agreed. After asking her to be careful in the hospital, they turned around and left.

  Tang Xi nodded and saw the Xiao brothers off, following which she took out her cellphone and called Yang Jingxian to ask her which ward Lin Ru was in, then went towards the elevator.

  Lin Ru had received an operation and was sent back to her ward. When Tang Xi arrived at the tenth floor of the inpatient building that was for VIP patients, she saw Yang Jingxian, Xiao Hongli, Xiao Hongyi and Xiao Yan waiting at the door of Lin Ru’s ward. Besides them, there were also an old lady and an old man whom both looked vigorous. At this time, the old lady was arguing with Xiao Hongyi. “I just gave her a piece of my mind, but she yelled at me! I’m her mom. Should she speak to me like that? By the way, you have been raising Jinning for so long. Why can’t you let her stay at your house? Your place has a lot of rooms.”


  Hearing this, everyone else frowned. Xiao Hongyi stared at the old lady with a frown and said angrily, “Mom, how can you speak like this? Lin Ru just tried to explain to you, but you pushed her down the stairs! Do you know this is an intentional injury?”


  Hearing this, the old lady scowled and became furious. She pointed to Xiao Hongyi’s face, yelling, “You rich people are such bullies, aren’t you? I pushed her down the stairs by accident. It’s her fault! Why was she standing on the stairway? I just gave her a nudge, but she lost her footing and fell down. Am I to blame?”


  Unable to bear the old lady’s ridiculous words, Yang Jingxian frowned and said in a cold voice, “Aunt Lin, did Ah Ru mean to fall down the stairs? Do you mean she intentionally did so? If you hadn’t pushed her, she wouldn’t have fallen!”


  Grandma Lin gave her a black look and shouted rudely, “This is our family’s business. It’s none of your concern!”


  “I don’t think so!” Xiao Yan looked at his grandma coldly and frowned. Ever since his childhood, his grandma had favored Xiao Jinning…… no, to be exact, she had only liked Xiao Jinning and wouldn’t bother to look at him though he was her grandson. It had now been confirmed that Xiao Jinning was not a child of the Xiao Family, yet she still came all the way here to make trouble just to support that woman. Was she crazy? Xiao Yan took a step forward to face Grandma Lin and with narrowed eyes, he said coldly, “If you hadn’t asked my mom to give you her share in Xiao’s Group so that you could give them to Xiao Jinning, would she have quarreled with you? Let me tell you—anything concerning Xiao’s Group is the business of every member of the Xiao Family. You are the outsider! You are not part of our family!”


  “You little bastard. How can you talk to your grandma like this!” Grandma Lin looked at her husband, who stood at the side keeping silent, and scolded him. “Are you dumb? Don’t you see they are all scolding me? Why don’t you help me?”


  Xiao Hongyi said coldly, “I think you know how much money we gave you since I married Lin Ru. We were always tolerant of you no matter how many troubles you brought to us, but Xiao Jinning is not our child and even almost murdered our daughter. Of course I won’t let her get a penny from us!” With that said, he added harshly, “I’m being lenient enough by not suing her!”


  Grandma Lin responded with an even louder yell than before at his words. “That girl has accompanied you for more than twenty years. Shouldn’t you compensate her?! How can you say such heartless words?! The child has been forced to leave the Xiao Family. How will she survive?! You should make it up to her!”


  “Then what about my daughter?!” Xiao Hongyi stared at Grandma Lin and said coldly, “Our daughter’s life has also been stolen for more than twenty years and she suffered for as long. Who will compensate her? I allowed Xiao Jinning to continue to stay in the Xiao Family, but what did she do? She almost killed my daughter. How can I continue to raise her, you dotard!”


  “You!” Grandma Lin was too angry to speak.

  Folding her arms over her chest, Tang Xi leaned against the corner and listened as they quarreled. This old couple was cruel to Lin Ru, just as the latter used to be to Xiao Rou, but this was the first time she had come across such disgusting people.

  But what was wrong with this Grandma Lin? She was so kind to Xiao Jinning that it seemed suspicious…… Her own daughter was lying in a sickbed, yet she didn’t seem to care about her at all, only worried about the survival of a child who was not blood-related to her.

  Her partiality was almost outrageous.

  Xiao Hongli stood at the side and didn’t speak until Yang Jingxian touched his hand. He stepped forward and said solemnly, “Since this is already the case, let’s call the police and see what they will do. Grandma Lin, this is a hospital. You can’t be noisy. Please keep that in mind.”


  When Grandma Lin heard they were going to call the police, she sat down on the floor and cried out loud, “Look at these bullies! These people are using their power to hold us poor people in jail!”


  Looking at Grandma Lin sitting on the ground and then at Mr. Lin who did the same, Yang Jingxian frowned and sneered, “If I were Lin Ru, I would rather cut off relations with you!

  “She turned so heartless because she was with you people for too long! Otherwise, how could she have abandoned her daughter, whom she had raised for over twenty years, for a bastard girl that came from nowhere?”
