Tang Xi hung up the phone and looked at Chen Ziyan in a hurry. She was about to ask Chen Ziyan to ask the teacher for a leave in her stead, when she saw Mr. He and the monitor coming over in a hurry. Tang Xi walked up to them and Mr. He said, “Xiao Rou, do you wanna ask for a leave? It’s okay. Go about your business. I’ve approved it already.”
Tang Xi, “…” Mr. He, you are really considerate!
The monitor looked at Tang Xi, pursed his lips and suddenly said, “By the way, my home is very close to the school. Do you need me to send you over?”
Tang Xi shook her head, took a look at Lu Xiaojing, who was not far away from her, and said, “My brother will come to pick me up. I gotta go. See you.”
Seeing Tang Xi leave in a hurry, Lu Xiaojing shouted, “Yes, he is Prince Charming Qiao, but so what? He had broken the law when he hit someone!”
Seeing that Lu Xiaojing began to make noise as soon as Tang Xi left, Chen Ziyan sneered. “Phew, Qiao Liang was enforcing justice to hit your sc.u.m brother who murdered so many innocent people! I think the police should award Prince Charming Qiao for his deed! Who are you bluffing by saying this!?”
Chen Ziyan’s father was one of the most powerful figures in the underworld. He often told her mom some secrets at home and she overheard some of them, so she heard a lot about the bad deeds this Lu Hongkun had done!
At this time, something occurred to Chen Ziyan and she immediately called her father. As soon as the phone was connected, her father’s fawning and affectionate voice rang, “Alas, why did my baby girl call me? Let me guess, you feel uncomfortable at school and want to go home but dare not tell your mother, right?”
The corner of Chen Ziyan’s eyes twitched when she heard her father’s over-honeyed voice. “Dad, be serious.”
“Yes,my princess!” The honeyed voice immediately rang again.
Chen Ziyan smiled and said, “Dad, can you send me the detailed information about Lu Hongkun’s bad deeds? I want to expose it to the media!”
The students who surrounded Chen Ziyan all looked at her with sparkling eyes, and only Lu Xiaojing yelled at Chen Ziyan, “Chen Ziyan, are you crazy? Do you know how you’ll end up if you mess with my family?!”
Chen Ziyan frowned, looked coldly at Lu Xiaojing and asked, “Then do you know how you’ll end up if you mess up with me? If you offend me, I won’t let your off!”
Chen Ziyan had been accompanying her father in business negotiations since her childhood. She had experienced a lot that would be unimaginable to her peers. She was actually a tough girl, although she pretended to be a harmless little girl in the school. As for Xiao Rou… she thought Xiao Rou was more like a queen than her, so she’d rather be a little princess when she stayed with her.
But that was not the case when it came to Lu Xiaojing. Lu Xiaojing was nothing in her eyes. How dare she talk to her like this? Her family just had a small enterprise, how dare she threaten her?
When Chen Ziyan’s father heard their conversation on the phone, he immediately said coldly, “My baby girl, wait for me. I’m going to your school and teach that stupid girl a lesson!”
Chen Ziyan hurriedly stopped her father. If her father came to the school, the school would definitely be turned into a chaos…”Well, Dad, just send me the information I wanted, or you can directly publish it on the Internet. After all…” Chen Ziyan glanced at Lu Xiaojing and snorted. “After all, I don’t want to read through it at all! That will be a waste of my time!”
Chen Ziyan hung up the phone, sneered and turned to walk towards the cla.s.sroom. “Guys, it’s time for cla.s.s!”
Lu Xiaojing standing in the corridor almost jumped up in anger. She took out her cellphone and called her father and mother, but the calls couldn’t be connected. Lu Xiaojing walked towards the outside of the school.
On this side, Tang Xi had no idea what Chen Ziyan had done. When she arrived at the school gate, Xiao Jing had been there. Although Xiao Jing hadn’t seen his sister for a week, he had no time to hug her. He opened the car door for Tang Xi as he said, “He must be crazy! I had sorted out those journalists, but he admitted he hit Lu Hongkun! If it weren’t for that video, he would have been denounced by the public. Now the video had restored his reputation, but he surrendered himself to the police! What is he trying to do?!”
Looking at Xiao Jing’s anxious look, Tang Xi suddenly felt she was not that worried about Qiao Liang. She smiled. “Jing, why are you so nervous? Since he has decided to surrender himself to the police, he must have had a way out. You don’t have to worry about him.”
Xiao Jing got angry when he saw Tang Xi was laughing. “How can you still be in the mood to laugh?! Don’t you know he is in the police station?! He is being locked in an iron cage!”
“It’s not you who are being locked in an iron cage. Why are you so anxious?” Tang Xi joked leisurely. She had realised that Qiao Liang surely knew what he was doing. Since he chose to do this, he must have a purpose. With this in mind, Tang Xi asked Xiao Jing, “By the way, did Qiao Liang make any decisions before he went to the police?”
“He merely said I would be in full charge of the company, before he went to the police station. But I can’t be responsible for the company in his place!” Xiao Jing said angrily, “I finally could have some sleep at home, but he threw me a bolt from the blue! Why can’t he give me a break? What the h.e.l.l is he trying to do?!”
Tang Xi looked at Xiao Jing who was almost desperate, and smiled. “Jing, I know it’s not easy for you.”
Xiao Jing glared at her and asked sternly, “And you, why…”
Tang Xi interrupted Xiao Jing and said with a smile, “I just stay there temporarily. I know how to do acupuncture, so I’m giving acupuncture therapy to… mother. I’ll go back home when she recovers. My family are only you guys. You know it.”
Xiao Jing looked deeply at Tang Xi and kept quite for quite a while before he said, “You’re truly a kind girl.”
Tang Xi smiled. “I just want to be true to myself. If i ignore her, I can’t explain to Xiao Rou.”
Xiao Jing sighed. “If Yao knows you are not around when he comes back, he will be so sad!”
“Yao?” Tang Xi smiled. “He had come back. He sent me to school today but he has now gone abroad on business.”
“Gone abroad?” Xiao Jing was not excited to hear the news about his brother. “Why?”
