"Dad, it's not convenient to talk outside. Let's go inside," Xiao Hongli said with a smile. "Rourou has just been discharged from the hospital. She can't stand standing all the time."
"Rourou is sick?" Grandpa Xiao immediately got the point. He looked at his second son with cloudy but sharp eyes and asked, "What happened?"
Xiao Hongyi glared at Xiao Hongli and hurriedly said, "Dad, Rourou grew up on the mountain and can't get enough nutrition, so she's weak. She was sick the day we picked her up, so we took her to the hospital to recuperate."
Xiao Hongli sneered, helped Grandpa Xiao walk inside, and took a look at Tang Xi whose eyes were red. "Rourou, if you can't sleep in your house, you can go to my house. My house is big enough for you. Besides, I don't have anything valuable in my house, so I won't be afraid of losing it."
He was mocking Xiao Hongyi for driving Xiao Rou out of the house last time because Xiao Jinning had lost something.
Yao Jinning blushed and couldn't help glaring at Xiao Hongli.
Grandpa Xiao was a shrewd businessman. If he still didn't understand what Xiao Hongli meant, he would have lived in vain for so many years. He angrily slammed his crutch on the ground and said coldly, "You'd better explain it to me!"
Tang Xi walked over to support Grandpa Xiao and said worriedly, "Grandpa, don't be angry. You should be happy."
Lin Ru also scowled at Xiao Hongli, but Xiao Hongli didn't care at all. He took a look at Xiao Hongyi and Lin Ru and supported Grandpa Xiao into the Xiao Family.
Tang Xi looked at the house. It was in the Suzhou garden style, which was very fresh, but she had seen this style many times when she traveled, so she wasn't surprised. She helped Grandpa Xiao into the central room and stood beside him.
After the others sat down on both sides, Grandpa Xiao said in a low voice, "Now that I'm back and Rourou is back, we should reveal Rourou's and Jinning's identities to the public. Their identities should be changed and Rourou can be the real Miss of the Xiao Family!"
Yao Jinning turned pale. Sure enough, this old man had long wanted to drive her out of the house!
Tang Xi frowned and looked at Grandpa Xiao calmly. It seemed that her backer in this family was Grandpa!
"I disagree!" Lin Ru said with a straight face, "Jinning has been our daughter for so many years. How can we let her go? If Jinning wants to leave, I'll leave too! "
Xiao Hongyi also nodded and said, "Yes, Dad. Jinning has been so filial for so many years, and because of Jinning, our family's company has also been promoted. How can you say that? Jinning is my daughter. I won't let her leave the Xiao family! "
"I didn't ask Jinning to leave the house. I just asked her to go back to her seat!" Grandpa Xiao took a look at Xiao Jinning and said in a low voice, "And have we ever wronged Jinning for so many years? Aren't you saying that I'm heartless? "
"Dad, that's not what I meant!" Xiao Hongyi said, "I just think it's good for now. We don't need to tell others that Rourou is our daughter."
Tang Xi raised her eyebrows. In the end, he still didn't want to admit that he had a country bumpkin daughter from the mountains.
Lin Ru also nodded. "Yes, and isn't it unfair to Jinning to make it public?"
"Then do you think it's fair to Rourou to do that?" Xiao Hongli looked at Xiao Hongyi and Lin Ru and sneered. "You only think of the girl who grew up with you. Have you ever thought of your daughter who has been living outside because of her?"
A fatal blow!
Yao Jinning jerked her head up and looked at Xiao Hongli with a gleam of hatred in her eyes. Xiao Hongli gladly accepted her hatred and continued, "I agree with Dad. Make Rourou's identity public! Restore her identity as the daughter of our Xiao Family! "
"This is my family's business. How dare you meddle in it?" Lin Ru shouted. "It's easy for you to say that! Since you want to restore her identity so much, why don't you recognize her as your daughter?! "
Tang Xi clenched her fists. No wonder Xiao Rou ran out like that. When her biological parents saw her, they not only didn't give her a hug, but also looked at her with disdain. How sad Xiao Rou would have been if she had heard those words.
Fortunately, she was Tang Xi and didn't care about the affection between Xiao Hongyi and Lin Ru.
Feeling the sadness in her heart, Tang Xi tried to suppress it. Xiao Rou, don't be sad. Such people don't deserve to be your parents. They don't want to recognize you, and you don't want to be recognized by them.
Tang Xi didn't know if her self-consolation worked, but she felt the sadness that had suddenly welled up in her heart slowly dissipate.
"Fine!" Xiao Hongli sneered. "I, Xiao Hongli, now have three sons, and I need a daughter!"
"You!" Lin Ru had wanted to shut Xiao Hongli up with that sentence, but to her surprise, Xiao Hongli actually agreed to it!
Xiao Jinning was also shocked. How could Xiao Hongli agree?!
Of course, Xiao Hongli's wife and three sons were also shocked. Grandpa Xiao, Tang Xi and Xiao Hongyi were also shocked.
Second Uncle, what are you doing? Don't tell me you want to be my father instead of my uncle?
Tang Xi rested her eyes on Xiao Hongli's face. Unlike Xiao Hongyi, Xiao Hongli's features were distinct but his lines were very soft. Unlike Xiao Hongyi's oppressive aura, he gave people a sense of elegance.
She didn't expect such a gentle-looking person would do such a shocking thing!
Grandpa Xiao struck his crutch and said coldly, "Why are you making trouble?!"
"Dad, I'm making trouble every day. Anyway, Sister-in-law and Yao don't want to recognize their biological daughter, so I'll accept her. Anyway, the Xiao's Group will pay for Rourou's upbringing," Xiao Hongli said casually.
At this time, Xiao Jian, who had been silent, suddenly said, "Uncle, Rourou is my sister. How can I trouble you?"
Tang Xi took a look at Xiao Jian and then lowered her eyes. This was Rourou's biological brother. She didn't remember seeing him last time.
"Dad, it's settled," Xiao Hongyi said. "We'll make it up to Rourou, but we'll tell the public that Rourou is our adopted daughter. Our parents died, so we took her back. What do you think?"
"Good!" Xiao Hongli clapped his hands and cheered. "Brother, you're awesome. In order to not recognize Rourou, you even curse yourself to die."
Tang Xi almost couldn't help laughing. She didn't expect Xiao Rou's uncle, who looked gentle and elegant, to be so good at telling jokes.
