[008: Are you so sure that something bad will happen to him? Maybe you are worrying too much. Maybe he’ll be alright.]

Tang Xi leaned back against the tree with a frown, looked up at the lake not far away and asked softly, “008, do you know that my intuition never fails? I had a strong sense of uneasiness before the airplane crash, and it turned out that I did have an accident.”

[008: I’ll keep an eye on Xiao Yao for you. If anything happens to him, I’ll immediately let you know, and then you can go over and bring Xiao Yao back. But if you go there now, how will you explain things to him?]

Tang Xi calmed down. What 008 said was right; if she went there now, she might make trouble for Xiao Yao, so she could only pray he would be alright, but if there was really something bad happening to him, she would use the all-purpose skill to save him.

As for whether Xiao Yao would ask her why she was there, she couldn’t bring herself to care much about that.

For now, Xiao Yao’s safety was more important than anything else.

Making up her mind, Tang Xi was no longer flustered. She took a look at her watch. If she went back to school now, the second class would be about to begin, but a large crowd of journalists was waiting at the school gate. How could she get into the school?

Just then, Xiao Sa called her. Tang Xi picked up the phone and heard Xiao Sa’s voice say, “Rourou, Uncle and Aunt are here. They want to see you. Are you gonna come back?”

Hearing Xiao Sa’s reluctant voice, Tang Xi giggled and then said, “Sa, if you don’t want me to go back, just tell me. Why are you asking me this?”

Xiao Sa grumbled, “Uncle and Aunt said if you didn’t come back, they would pick you up from school.”

The Xiao Family members all knew that Xiao Rou was studying in the First High School of City A, including Xiao Hongyi and Lin Ru, so they would indeed probably come to the school… and right now there were so many journalists at the school gate. If they were photographed by them, what would happen?

Thinking for a moment, Tang Xi could only nod and say, “Then I’ll come back. Can you pick me up by the school? I’m in the park nearby.”

Although she could drive, she didn’t have a driving license right now, so it was better for her to wait here for her brothers to pick her up, in case she was caught on the road by the traffic police.

Xiao Sa said okay, glanced back at Lin Ru and Xiao Hongyi, and then called over Xiao Jing to pick up Tang Xi with him.

On Lin Ru’s side of things, in the villa of Xiao Hongli’s family, she was feeling greatly abashed for the first time ever. To be honest, she truly felt ashamed to come here, but Xiao Rou was her daughter. She had wronged her and almost had her killed. She knew it wouldn’t be easy to get Xiao Rou’s forgiveness, but she wanted to apologize to her in person. If she was willing to return to her side, that would be best, and she would do anything to make it up to her, but if she didn’t want to, she wouldn’t force her. After all, she, Xiao Rou’s mother, was the one who hurt her most.

At this thought, Lin Ru looked at Yang Jingxian and said in a low voice, “Jingxian, I’m so sorry for disturbing you and causing you to be targeted by so many journalists because of our mistakes. Today I came here to…”

Yang Jingxian raised her hand to interrupt Lin Ru and said with a smile, “I know you feel guilty, but I won’t give Rourou to you, because you didn’t want her in the first place.”

You gave her up because you were too competitive. Now it’s impossible for you to take her back. Although she had never intended to snatch away anyone’s daughter, Xiao Rou was her daughter now. They were the ones who had come to snatch her daughter, so she wouldn’t back down a single step. She finally had another daughter, who helped her recover from the pain of losing her first daughter—she didn’t want to lose Rourou.

Looking at the Yang Jingxian, Lin Ru didn’t know what to say. Yang Jingxian was always quiet and inoffensive but was very strong-minded. Once she made up her mind, no one could make her change it.

Yang Jingxian was thinking to herself: no wonder she had felt so uneasy today. It turned out that someone had been coming to take her daughter from her. Taking a look at her silent mobile phone, she couldn’t help grumbling at Xiao Hongli in her mind—why hadn’t he replied to her message?!

Xiao Hongyi was determined to take his daughter back. No matter what, he wanted to keep his daughter by his side. Firstly, Grandpa Xiao would be happy, secondly, his wife would be happy, and thirdly, his son would be happy. When they were happy, he would be happy.

Most importantly, Liu Chengyu had shown clearly that he liked Xiao Rou. If Xiao Rou came back, he would still be able to gain the support of the Liu Family by marrying Xiao Rou to Liu Chengyu!

So he had to take his daughter back. His brother could help Xiao Rou to study in the First High School of City A, and so could he. He could give her whatever they had given her. He wanted Xiao Rou to come back to him and call him Dad.

With this thought in mind, Xiao Hongyi couldn’t help saying, “What do you mean, Jingxian? Rourou is our daughter. What’s wrong with her coming back to our house?”

Lin Ru frowned upon hearing Xiao Hongyi’s words, and was about to speak when she was interrupted by the cold voice of Yang Jingxian. Yang Jingxian stared at Xiao Hongyi with a sneer and said, “Brother, that’s funny. You mean that you did nothing wrong to abandon your daughter, while we were wrong to accept the daughter abandoned by you?”

“You know I don’t mean that!” Xiao Hongyi said coldly. “We didn’t acknowledge Rourou for a reason. You know we were fooled by Xiao Jinning. Since all the facts have come to light, shouldn’t we take our daughter back?”

“Brother, it’s not our fault that you were blind,” Yang Jingxian said coldly. “Besides, it was not that we lied to you, but that you were too gullible. Can you blame us for this? And you can’t use Xiao Jinning as the excuse for abandoning Rourou.”

Xiao Hongyi still wanted to say something, but Lin Ru stopped him. Lin Ru gave Yang Jingxian an apologetic smile and said, “Sorry, Jingxian, you know he is not good at expressing himself. I apologize to you on his behalf. I know it won’t be easy to gain forgiveness from you and Rourou. Of course, I’m not here to take Rourou from you. I just want to ask for her forgiveness.”
