Xiao Sa shook his head and replied, “Not many. Most of them have gone to the school gate. How did you get out?”

Tang Xi briefly told them how Mr. He had helped her get out and then walked towards the car. “Let’s hurry back. By the way, Yao seems to be going to City J. Let’s talk about it when we return.”

“Well, okay.” Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing had come here by car, so each of them drove one car on the way back. Tang Xi and Xiao Jing drove the car which Xiao Yao had used to bring her to school in the morning.

Tang Xi asked, “What did they say?”

“What could they say?” Xiao Jing looked sullen. “Of course they said they want to take you back. Do you want to go back?”

Tang Xi chuckled and replied, “I’m not a teddy bear that they can keep when they want it and throw away when they don’t. I’m coming back home because I’m not in the mood to study today. I won’t go back with them.”

Xiao Jing was relieved to hear Tang Xi’s words; he didn’t want to lose his little sister whom he had been raising for over two months.

They came back home only to find that Xiao Yan was also here. Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa were surprised, but they didn’t say anything. They sat beside Yang Jingxian with Tang Xi, and the latter gently greeted Xiao Hongyi and his family. “Hello, Aunt, Uncle and Cousin Yan.”

Lin Ru felt her heart bleed when she heard Xiao Rou call her “Aunt”. She had actually felt relieved back when Xiao Rou had chosen to go with Xiao Hongli’s family, albeit being a little upset. She even thought that Xiao Rou had better not call her “mom” for the rest of her life and thought that Xiao Hongli and his family would definitely regret adopting a daughter with sticky fingers.

But when Xiao Rou appeared in front of Xiao Hongyi’s family, they weren’t able to recognize her until she said hello to them, and it was then they realized that this stunningly beautiful girl was their daughter and sister.

Lin Ru clenched her hands. This beautiful, graceful and dazzling girl was her daughter, and she should have grown up happily at her side.

Xiao Yan was also shocked. The last time he had seen Xiao Rou was a week ago when she was still beautiful, but not as beautiful as today. Her beauty simply couldn’t be covered up. How could one become so beautiful in such a short time? She was so beautiful that he was stunned by her looks!

Xiao Hongyi was dumbfounded. He had felt his heart miss a beat when he saw this girl. Was this stunningly beautiful girl his daughter?

“Rourou, did you have plastic surgery?” Xiao Hongyi thought that she couldn’t have become so beautiful unless she had gone through plastic surgery.

Tang Xi’s face darkened and she asked, “Uncle, what do you mean? You’re here to talk about cosmetic surgery with me?”

Xiao Yan’s face also changed. He had come here with his parents today to take Xiao Rou back home. If Father spoke like this, he would annoy Xiao Rou and then she would not go home with them! So he said, “Dad, Xiao Rou didn’t look so beautiful before because she was malnourished. She has been taken good care of by Aunt, which is why she has become increasingly beautiful. We should thank Aunt for taking care of Rourou.”

Xiao Hongyi nodded in agreement. “Yes, we really should thank your aunt for taking care of your sister so well.”

Getting his implication, Tang Xi was impressed by Xiao Yan’s shrewdness. What he was trying to say was that Yang Jingxian was only Tang Xi’s aunt, not her mother. Of course, the Xiao brothers and Yang Jingxian also got his implication and became slightly angry. But just when they were about to speak up, Tang Xi smiled and said, “Cousin, you’re wrong. It’s only a matter of course for my mom, dad and brothers to take care of me. Why are you thanking them for me?”

Lin Ru was disappointed to hear Tang Xi’s words, but she knew she was being too impatient and so hurriedly said, “Yes, yes, you’re right. I came here today to apologize to you. I’m sorry, Rourou. Mom shouldn’t have misunderstood you, believing in Xiao Jinning’s slanderous words and treating you the way I did. It doesn’t matter if you aren’t willing to forgive me. I just came to say sorry.”

Tang Xi’s eyes flickered. The Lin Ru she saw today was completely different from that aggressive Lin Ru she had seen before. Today, Lin Ru had swallowed her pride and was being very humble.

She suddenly felt sad. The real Xiao Rou wouldn’t be dead if you figured it out earlier.

With this thought in mind, Tang Xi chuckled and replied, “Aunt, what are you talking about? It’s not your fault. I don’t blame you. Instead, I want to thank you for sending me into such a warm family.”

Lin Ru and Xiao Hongyi’s faces stiffened, and Xiao Yan also paused. He took a deep look at Tang Xi and said seriously, “Rourou, Mom and Dad have already apologized to you. Now everyone knows that you are Mom and Dad’s child. If you still stay here, how will people think of us?”

Tang Xi raised her eyebrows and looked at Xiao Yan with a faint smile. She said, “So you didn’t come to apologize, but to force me to go back?” She sneered, and her aura suddenly turned aggressive. She continued coldly, “I don’t care how others will think of you people! You didn’t want to acknowledge me and claimed that I could only be your family’s ‘foster daughter’. Am I so cheap in your eyes? Should I have wagged my tail at you for being able to become your foster daughter? Should I have been moved to tears for a bone you tossed to me? Who do you think you all are?”

Realizing his words had been improper, Xiao Yan took a breath and said, “I didn’t mean that. I meant, the truth has come out now. You should go back to your original position. You can still meet Uncle and his family after you come back to our home, right?”

“No,” Tang Xi replied coldly. “Since the time I called Second Uncle dad, I was determined to no longer have any relationship with you all, so I’m not going with you!”

Xiao Hongyi was upset to hear this. He asked eagerly, “Xiao Rou, what do you want us to do? Look, we’re all waiting for you, and your grandpa wants you to come home with us as well. You shouldn’t keep staying here and bothering your second uncle!”

“How can you say that it’s a bother for my daughter to live at her own home?!” Yang Jingxian refuted coldly. “Didn’t you say that you only came here to apologize? If you want to apologize, just do it and leave. But if you’ve come here to take my daughter from me, then I’m sorry to say that I don’t welcome you. Get out of my house!”

Tang Xi took hold of Yang Jingxian’s hand and smiled at her. Seeing this, Yang Jingxian gradually calmed down, but Xiao Yan frowned and said, “Aunt, I think you must be very clear as to whose child Xiao Rou is.”
