Qiao Liang looked quietly at Lin Yuan who was defending him in the video call and didn't say a word. Seeing Qiao Liang like this, Lin Yuan really regretted what he had done. He put his palms together and bowed to Qiao Liang, saying, "Boss, I know I was wrong. I just wanted that woman to distract you. If I had known she was that kind of b * tch, I would have thrown her into the Pacific Ocean. How could I let that woman approach you?!"
Qiao Liang still didn't speak. Lu Li looked at the two of them and suddenly felt the atmosphere was not right. After a pause, Lu Li said, "It's Qiao Yuan's fault, but he did it out of good intentions. Don't take it to heart."
Qiao Liang took a look at Lu Li and then at Lin Yuan who was still putting his palms together, saying coldly, "Don't do it again."
"I won't do it again!" Lin Yuan immediately raised his hand and swore, "If it happens again, I'll jump from a height of 30,000 feet without a parachute!"
Qiao Liang snorted and hung up the video call.
The moment he hung up the video call, Qiao Liang almost imperceptibly breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he was a bit panicked at the beginning, fearing that his good brother of many years had done something to hurt him. He thought a lot when he made the call. If Lin Yuan really did something to hurt him, what would he do?
Although he did not say anything when he heard Lin Yuan's explanation just now, he was extremely glad in his heart. Fortunately, Lin Yuan had done that for his sake. Fortunately, Lin Yuan had not done anything more out of line.
Qiao Liang got up from the table and looked up only to see Tang Xi standing at the door. He raised his eyebrows and walked towards her. "Why are you awake?"
"I got up to drink some water and came to see you. I heard you were on the video call, so I didn't want to disturb you." Tang Xi leaned against Qiao Liang's chest. "Shall I accompany you tonight?"
Qiao Liang nodded. Tang Zhenhua arranged a guest room for him so that they wouldn't live together, but … could a guest room stop them?
The two of them lay on the bed. Qiao Liang held Tang Xi in his arms and Tang Xi turned over and put her arms around his waist. "What happened?"
"I found out who leaked my whereabouts to Qin Xinying. I just went to confirm it." Qiao Liang said in a low voice. Before Tang Xi asked who it was, he said, "It was Lin Yuan."
Tang Xi looked up at Qiao Liang in surprise. Qiao Liang pressed her head against his chest and said hoarsely, "But he did it for my own good. He wanted to let you know my whereabouts and make you change your mind. When we were in the Pacific Ocean … he didn't want to make me sad. He probably wanted to divert my attention."
Tang Xi hugged Qiao Liang. "I'm fine."
Fortunately, it was Lin Yuan. Fortunately, Lin Yuan was doing it for his own good. Fortunately … his organization members did not betray him.
Qiao Liang understood what Tang Xi meant. He nodded, held her in his arms, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The two of them slept until dawn. The moment Tang Xi opened her eyes, she felt pain in her hand … She slept on her side last night and her injured hand had been pressed against it. She still couldn't stand the pain and her eyes were filled with tears. Qiao Liang opened his eyes only to see Tang Xi like this. He suddenly thought of something and sat up in annoyance. He helped Tang Xi to sit up and asked, "Can you move?"
Tang Xi's eyes were red and she shook her head pitifully. "It hurts."
Qiao Liang sighed. She was injured and it must hurt to sleep with her hand pressed against it all night. He rolled up the sleeves of Tang Xi's pajamas and found the wound had turned red. He frowned. "You have to disinfect and change the dressing. Who will wash your face for you?"
Tang Xi looked at Qiao Liang who went to fetch water and a towel to wash her face and wipe her hand with. She gave a faint smile. She suddenly reached out to touch Qiao Liang's cheek and asked in a low voice, "Ah Liang, did you drug me with some aphrodisiac?"
"Huh?"
Tang Xi was amused by Qiao Liang's confused face. She said, "Why? My heart is all for you?"
"Because my heart is also for you." Qiao Liang pulled down her hand from his face, wiped it with a towel and kissed her on the forehead. "Aren't you going to the company later? Get up. I'll help you change your clothes. "
Tang Xi immediately blushed. "I can change my clothes myself!" She had changed her clothes by herself at home, but she usually wore a shirt and could button it with one hand …
Qiao Liang looked at Tang Xi who suddenly became serious and smiled. "Are you shy?"
"Yes!" Tang Xi said and was about to run to her room, when Qiao Liang grabbed her uninjured hand. "Let me change the dressing."
Tang Xi stopped and sat down on the sofa. Qiao Liang brought a medicine box and changed the dressing for her.
He had just changed the dressing and bandaged her wound, when someone knocked on the door of the guest room. Tang Xi shouted, "Wait a minute," and Tang Zhong's voice came from outside. "Miss, something happened."
…
Tang Xi changed her clothes and went downstairs. The members of the Tang Family were sitting in the living room and they all looked very pale. Tang Zhenhua was sitting on the other side and looking at them indifferently, while Qiao Liang and Tang Zhong were standing on the other side.
"Uncle, why didn't you tell us you were sick earlier? Coronary heart disease! This is not an ordinary disease! It's very difficult to cure. You should have told us earlier so that we could be prepared. When we came here, the stock price of the Empire Group had fallen by several points. If it goes on like this, it may hit the floor! "Tang Hao's father, Tang Jieren, said.
"I retired because I was sick." Tang Zhenhua said calmly. "The board of directors knew it."
"Second Uncle, didn't you say that you retired because you were old and your mental strength wasn't good?" Tang Mingren frowned and said disapprovingly, "That's nothing compared with coronary heart disease. Coronary heart disease can kill you at any time. You …"
"Yes, now the stock price of the company has fallen so much. Who will take responsibility for it?" Tang Yaoren nodded. "Uncle, you …"
"Haha." Tang Xi's sneer came from behind. The others looked at her. Tang Xi took a cold look at them, walked to the living room with a straight face and sat down beside Tang Zhenhua. "Take responsibility? Do you think we'll take responsibility for it? Grandpa and I own the most shares of the company. Grandpa and I are not worried about it. Why do you worry about it? "
"How can you talk like this, girl?!" Tang Jieren had been dissatisfied with Tang Xi since Tang Xi fired Tang Hao. Hearing Tang Xi's words, he immediately retorted, "We're your uncles!"
