Tang Xi got up early the next morning and did yoga in the yard before she went to have breakfast. Before she finished, Xiao Hongli and the others came over. Tang Xi's eyes had a gleam of excitement when she saw them and she quickly ran up to them. "Mom, Dad, Sa … Yao, you're back?"
Xiao Yao smiled at Tang Xi and rubbed her hair out of habit, saying gently, "Yes, I just came back from the capital and I heard such a big thing. My sister is not at home, so I have to go out early if I want to see you. Otherwise, I won't be able to see you."
Tang Xi smiled and invited them to have breakfast together. At this time, Grandpa Xiao came out of the room and the Xiao family greeted him respectfully. Grandpa Xiao nodded and looked appreciatively at Xiao Yao who was standing straight, saying, "I've heard about you. You're the pride of our Xiao Family. I'm very happy for you."
Xiao Yao smiled, thanked Grandpa and greeted Xiao Hongyi who came out of the dining room. Xiao Hongyi's relationship with Xiao Hongyi had eased a lot because of what had happened to his family. Seeing them, he gently invited them to have breakfast. Xiao Yan, however, was not very happy to see them, because he knew how much his sister cared about them. If they came, Xiao Rou would only have eyes for them.
Yang Jingxian said they had already had breakfast and just came to see Lin Ru and Xiao Rou. Hearing this, Tang Xi said she was going to have breakfast. Xiao Yao followed her in and said, "I'll send you to school later."
Tang Xi blinked and looked at Xiao Yao. "Yao?"
Xiao Yao said, "I haven't sent you to school for a long time. I'm going to Mexico this afternoon. Let me send you there."
Tang Xi frowned when she heard he was going to another country. "Why are you going to Mexico?"
Xiao Yao smiled and was about to speak when Tang Xi said, "Besides, you haven't recovered yet. Why are you suddenly sent to Mexico? Do your leaders really treat you as a man of iron? "
Xiao Yao's heart warmed when he saw Tang Xi care about him. He gazed deeply at Tang Xi and said in his heart, "No wonder I've loved her for so long. She cares so much about me …"
Feeling Xiao Yao's gaze, Tang Xi suddenly felt a little guilty and asked, "Yao, what are you thinking about?"
Xiao Yao said, "I'm thinking, Rourou, you really care about your brother. You're indeed my good sister." Then he paused and looked at Tang Xi who was eating porridge, saying, "Don't worry. I'm not going to deal with terrorists. I'm just going to investigate a company secretly. Nothing will go wrong."
Tang Xi nodded. Although she cared about Xiao Yao, she couldn't let him quit his job. She knew that Xiao Yao loved his job. No matter how hard it was, he wouldn't quit.
At this time, Xiao Yan came in. Seeing Xiao Yao and Tang Xi sitting together and chatting happily, Tang Xi smiled while drinking porridge. The two of them seemed to have endless topics to talk about. He frowned and then calmed down. "Rourou, Aunt asked you if you've finished eating. She wants you to come over." Xiao Yan nodded. Then he said, "Xiao Rou, Aunt is asking if you've finished eating. She's asking you to come over."
Tang Xi looked up at Xiao Yan. "My mom wants to see me?"
The word 'my mom' pierced Xiao Yan's heart like a thorn. He frowned and shook his head. "I don't know. You can come out now. I'm going to work. Be careful on your way to school."
Tang Xi nodded with a smile and lowered her head to finish the porridge in her bowl. Xiao Yao sat opposite her and looked at her wolfing down the porridge. He scolded her with a smile, saying no one would snatch the porridge from her, and then asked, "Are they nice to you?"
Tang Xi nodded. "Very good. They're even trying to please me. Maybe they want to … make up for what they've done to me. After all we've been through, I think I can give them a chance, so Yao …"
"You don't have to say that. I know you're a kind girl. You just didn't know how to express it before. Now that you want to do this, just do it." Xiao Yao looked at Tang Xi with a smile and said gently, "Little … Xi, you have to remember that you don't owe anyone. You just have to be yourself. Don't feel that you owe anyone, okay?"
Tang Xi's eyes turned red. She nodded hard and said, "I know, Yao. Thank you."
Xiao Yao stood up and reached out to Tang Xi. "Let's go, my sister. I'll send you to school."
Tang Xi stood up, patted Xiao Yao's hand and walked out. Xiao Yao looked at his empty hand, raised his eyebrows, took back his hand in a daze and walked out with a blank look on his face. Yang Jingxian asked Tang Xi about Lin Ru. Tang Xi told her everything and told her that Lin Ru had to go to the hospital. "Maybe Mother will be able to stand up in a month. Then I can go back."
Yang Jingxian's eyes lit up when she heard Tang Xi said she could go back. "Really?"
Tang Xi nodded. Xiao Hongyi who was sitting on the sofa frowned when he heard Tang Xi said she could leave in a month. After Tang Xi, Xiao Yao and Xiao Sa all left, he said to Yang Jingxian, "Sa, Xiao Yao, let's talk."
Xiao Hongli raised his hand to stop Xiao Hongyi and said coldly, "Yao, if it's about Rourou, we have nothing to talk about. Do you still remember what you said? If you don't want to ruin the relationship between us, you'd better not say anything. Jingxian and I only care about Rourou's feelings. If Rourou is willing to come back, we'll warmly welcome her. "
Grandpa Xiao gave Xiao Hongli a surprised look and sighed. Then he slammed his crutch against the ground and said in a low voice, "Didn't I tell you not to mention this matter again? You didn't want Rourou. Now you go back on your word. Are you going to embarrass me?! "
"Dad!" Xiao Hongyi said, "But no matter what, Rourou is my daughter and Ru's daughter. Why are you so partial to Second Brother and his family?"
"What do you mean by this?!" Grandpa Xiao shouted angrily. "If it weren't for Second Brother and his family, you would have driven your daughter out of the family. Let me tell you, if you mention this again, don't be a member of the Xiao Family!"
