"I have something to attend to in the company. Bye." Xiao Yan slightly loosened his clenched fists, bowed to Grandpa Xiao and said, "I've prepared a welcome banquet for Grandpa and Rourou in the Unique Restaurant. I'll go there in the evening."
With that, he left the Xiao Family's mansion without looking back.
Xiao Jinning was disdainful when she saw the Xiao Hongli Family treat Xiao Rou so warmly. 'You'll regret treating an ugly duckling as a treasure one day.'
"Then how are you going to explain to the media that Rourou is your daughter?" It was Xiao Hongyi's turn to ask.
Xiao Hongli sneered. "Yao, your family lives by the sea. I don't remember you buying a villa by the sea."
Lin Ru frowned. "What do you mean?!"
"I mean you're too nosy," Xiao Hongli said bluntly. Xiao Hongli said bluntly, "Why should I report to you that my daughter has returned to me?"
With that, he took a triumphant look at Tang Xi and winked at her. "Right, baby girl?"
Tang Xi smiled sweetly at him. She would usually treat those who helped her to bully the scums with courtesy!
"Whatever!" Lin Ru said and took a step back. She didn't even look at Tang Xi. She was probably annoyed by her.
Grandpa Xiao nodded and said, "Okay, let's go."
Just then, Xiao Jinning suddenly said, "Grandpa, I've prepared a welcome banquet for Rourou tonight. There will be many socialites and ladies present. Let me take Rourou to meet them."
"Stop!" Before Grandpa Xiao could speak, Xiao Hongli immediately stopped her. He took a look at Xiao Jinning and said with a smile, "Jinning, you're a big star. You're so busy. How can I trouble you to take my daughter to meet her? My wife has nothing to do every day, so I'll let her take care of her. You, focus on filming and work hard. Don't let your dear parents down."
"Uncle …" Xiao Jinning looked at Xiao Hongli aggrievedly and her eyes turned red. "I really want to be good sisters with Rourou …"
"Aiya." Xiao Hongli pursed his lips and replied, "Of course I know, but I can't let Rourou hold you back. Besides, you're not good at acting. You burst into tears as soon as you start crying. I don't even know if you're really crying or not!"
Pfft …
Tang Xi couldn't help laughing out loud. She looked up only to find that almost everyone was looking at her. She gave an apologetic smile and said, "Sorry, my dad's joke was so funny that I couldn't help laughing."
Tang Xi found that it was easy to call him "Dad".
Although she had never said the word 'father' in her twenty years of life, it was still smooth to say it now!
Xiao Jinning blushed, but she did not dare to lose her temper. She could only say softly, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Second Aunt."
Yang Jingxian smiled softly and said, "It's no trouble. Rourou is my daughter. It's what I should do."
"She's just a wild girl who hasn't even graduated from junior high school. How can you treat her like a treasure?" Lin Ru couldn't help but say sarcastically, "Don't tell me she's fighting for the right of inheritance?"
"Sister-in-law, you're …"
Xiao Jinning couldn't help looking at Tang Xi smugly, only to find that Tang Xi didn't look at her at all, so she could only hide her eyes and stand aside.
At this time, Tang Xi was stunned by the sound of the system prompt in her mind again …
[System prompt: Because the Host, Tang Xi, has successfully joined the big family of the Xiao Family and overcome all difficulties to become the pearl of the Xiao Family, the system specially presents you with a graduation certificate. Would the Host like to click to view and use it?]
Graduation certificate?
Tang Xi's heart raced. Did the system give her a college graduation certificate? Was the system really so awesome?
Tang Xi pretended to swat a mosquito in the air and clicked to view. Sure enough, a graduation certificate appeared in front of her, but wait …
Shit!
008, are you kidding me?
Junior high school graduation certificate? What's the use of giving this to me?! What's the use of it!
[System prompt: Would the Host, Tang Xi, like to use the junior high school graduation certificate?]
Whatever, a junior high school graduation certificate was better than nothing!
Tang Xi clicked to use it again in infinite despair …
[System prompt: Your graduation certificate has been entered into the education system and can be viewed and used on the national network … The graduation certificate has been put into the Host's backpack.]
What's the use of a junior high school graduation certificate?!
Tang Xi fell into endless despair again. Why did she feel that she had been tricked by the system?
"Rourou? What are you thinking about? " Yang Jingxian saw Tang Xi fall into silence and then show a desperate look on her face. She thought Tang Xi was hurt by Lin Ru's words. After all, Lin Ru was her biological mother.
Tang Xi came back to herself with an "ah" and said, "I was just thinking about President Lin's words. President Lin said I'm a wild girl who doesn't even have a junior high school graduation certificate …"
Yang Jingxian hurriedly comforted her. "Rourou, don't worry. We don't have a diploma now. We can start from scratch …"
"That's not right." Tang Xi took a look at Yang Jingxian, searched herself for a while, and then her eyes lit up and she took out something. "I have a junior high school graduation certificate."
The others looked at each other, and Grandpa Xiao also looked at Tang Xi in confusion.
Only Yang Jingxian nodded with relief. "Yes, we can go to high school directly."
"Ignorant! Shame on you! "Lin Ru said and then left the hall.
Xiao Hongyi also shook his head and took a look at Tang Xi before turning to leave, followed by Xiao Jinning.
After they left, Xiao Hongli laughed out loud. He walked over to touch Tang Xi's hair and said with a smile, "Rourou, well done. That's how it feels to be slapped in the face. No wonder you're my daughter!"
Tang Xi blinked at Xiao Hongli and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Dad, you taught me well!"
"Hahahaha …" Xiao Hongli's laughter rang out in the living room.
The Xiao brothers looked at each other and communicated with their eyes. "This sister seems to be different from last time."
"Did she hide her true character last time?" Xiao Jing whispered. "Or is it because it was her first time here and she was not used to it?"
Xiao Yao shook his head. "It doesn't seem like it. She was expressionless when she faced Aunt and her family. She didn't even say a word."
"Hongli, what are you going to say about the fact that Rourou is your daughter?" Grandpa Xiao didn't care what they were talking about, nor did he care that his eldest son's family had left. Since his second son had decided to recognize his granddaughter, he only needed to ask him.
Xiao Hongli smiled. "Dad, don't you remember? Sister-in-law and Jingxian were pregnant at the same time. Later, Jingxian gave birth prematurely because she was frightened and gave birth to a stillborn daughter. Now Rourou has come to make up for our regret. We'll tell the public that Rourou was taken away by an enemy many years ago, and now we've finally found our daughter. "
