Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee

Tang Xi turned her head to look at Ning Yan and raised her eyebrows, asking, “Why do you ask me this question, then?”

Tang Xi gazed at Ning Yan. Her eyes seemed so unfathomable that Ning Yan suddenly had a feeling that this girl was strong. He wondered why her aura had suddenly turned so suffocating. At this moment, he realized that the harmless appearance of this woman was all faked.

Tang Xi smiled and a cold glint appeared in her eyes as she said, “Mr. Ning, you are no one to me, and I’m not shooting your TV commercial. You have no right to ask me such a question. Even if I do this TV commercial with bad intentions, does it have anything to do with you?”

Ning Yan also realized that his tone had been a little aggressive. “Sorry, I was aggressive. Yes, you have the right not to tell me.”

Tang Xi smiled and her aura changed again. She said with a chuckle, “I know people from a family like Mr. Ning’s won’t easily believe others and will even feel suspicious, doubting why someone would approach you. I understand it and you don’t need to apologize. I can tell you—I am doing this TV commercial because I want to teach Xiao Jinning a lesson.”

Ning Yan apparently hadn’t expected her to be so candid, which made him feel a little guilty. He raised his eyebrows. “For revenge?”

“No.” Tang Xi shook her head, her eyes calm, her expression unchanged, merely smiling faintly as she said, “I just want to take back everything that is supposed to be mine.”

As a director, Ning Yan had a keener sense than most people. He soon smelled something special from Tang Xi’s words. Although he was not a gossiping man, he couldn’t help but ask, “Did something special happen to you when you were in the Xiao Family?”

“I’ll tell you what she’s been through!” Xiao Sa walked over looking sullen. They didn’t expect Rourou would be targeted by Ning Yan, the fox, so soon when they weren’t paying attention, and he was even trying to reawaken Rourou’s sad memory. Tang Xi sensed Xiao Sa’s care for her, and felt warmth well up inside, but she wouldn’t be sad for what had passed, so she tugged on Xiao Sa’s arm and said with a smile, “Sa, it’s okay.”

Xiao Sa’s face turned cold. “Despite your saying so, your eyes betrayed you. You look sad.”

“I’ll be stronger after the sadness passes,” Tang Xi replied with a grin.

Ning Yan shrugged and said, “I’m just curious. If it’s not convenient, you can ignore my question.”

“There’s nothing she can’t say,” Xiao Jing suddenly said loudly. “There is nothing to be ashamed of or hide. You can all know what happened to her. Let me tell you about it!”

Xiao Jing told Xiao Rou’s story in detail from beginning to end, including the fact that she was almost trampled to death by Xiao Jinning, and that no one had visited her in the hospital for a month.

Upon hearing it, He Wanyi immediately stood up indignantly and exclaimed, “F*ck! Lin Ru must be blind! How could she abandon her own daughter and take a pheasant as a phoenix!”

Tang Xi smiled. “Miss He, don’t be so excited. In fact, I appreciate them for not taking me back. Because of that, I have a family who really care for me now. I like my current family and I love my family members very much.” At this moment, Tang Xi suddenly felt Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa hold her hands. She smiled, tightly held their hands and said calmly yet firmly, “If they reluctantly took me back back then, maybe I wouldn’t have been so carefree, and the Xiao Family would have probably become a mess.”

“I always felt Xiao Jinning was shameless, but I didn’t expect her to be this shameless!” He Wanyi said indignantly. “If I had known this earlier, I would have ridiculed her harder today. Then I’d be feeling better now.”

“I’ll make her pay,” Tang Xi said with a chuckle as she looked at the indignant He Wanyi. “That’s why I accepted Director He’s offer to do the perfume advertisement. Xiao Jinning stole everything from me, but I’ll take them back, bit by bit—of course, except for my biological parents. I won’t and disdain to take them as my parents.”

No one could take your parents from you, unless they didn’t love you. Since they didn’t love you, why would you still need them?

Therefore, she would make Lin Ru and Xiao Hongyi regret that they treated Xiao Rou the way they did, and that they killed the cowardly and kind Xiao Rou who was then replaced by Tang Xi.

“Yes, Rourou doesn’t need them. We’ll be with her.” Xiao Sa looked at Tang Xi with a satisfied face and his eyes filled with affection for her. “With us protecting you, you can do whatever you want.”

Ning Yan finally knew why Tang Xi told them her story in such an unbridled way, and that was because she had the Xiao brothers behind her. With brothers like them, the sister wouldn’t be easily bullied.

“The more I come to know about you, the more I feel you are their sister,” He Wanyi said, looking at Tang Xi with a smile, then continued, “you are just as carefree and unrestrained as them! I’m jealous of you!”

Tang Xi smiled and replied, “Yes, that’s how we are like.”

“So you’re still a freshman in high school?” He Wanzhou hesitated before asking, “Is it true you were illiterate?”

Tang Xi nodded. “Yes, in terms of academic qualifications, I’m literally illiterate compared to you guys.”

The corner of He Wanzhou’s eyes twitched and then he asked, “How did you manage to stay in the third grade of junior high school for so long? Your teacher wouldn’t let you graduate?”

“I also want to know why,” Tang Xi thought. ‘How can I explain about 008’s mistake?’ Fortunately, 008 was not hopelessly stupid. Even if they went over to the school to check, they would find that she had really stayed in the Hengshan Middle School for many years. As long as they didn’t go ask a teacher, they wouldn’t find anything wrong. Of course, they wouldn’t be so idle to go all the way to City W and ask her teacher why she had stayed there for so many years.

He Wanzhou gave her a thumbs up. “You’re awesome.”

“My sister is very special. There is plenty of room for her to develop herself. For example, although she just entered high school, she bet with me that she would get her high school diploma in a year, and that she would be admitted by University A.” As Xiao Sa said this, he sounded very proud even though he looked like he was complaining about her.

Everyone exclaimed, “What an ambitious girl!”

Tang Xi, shrugging and taking their praises, said in an immodest way, “I’m really a genius, but I didn’t realize it until I left the hospital.”

Seeing the others confused, Xiao Jing said, “I can prove it. She’s really a genius!”
