When Yang Jingxian heard this, she sneered and shot a contemptuous look at Grandma Lin contemptuously. “What’s wrong with a person like me? A person like me would not abandon my own daughter for a viper. And a person like me would not push my own daughter down the stairs and make her fall into a coma for a shameless outsider!”
“What do you mean! Did you just say I was shameless?!” Grandma Lin sprang to her feet and rushed over to hit Yang Jingxian, but Xiao Hongli stepped forward to grab her hand. He wore an angry look as he said coldly, “Ms. Yao, I’m not my brother. If you ever dare to touch my wife, I will send you to the First Detention Center of City A to taste the food there!” Then he flung Grandma Lin’s hand off.
Xiao Hongli was so angry that he had called her Ms. Yao instead of Grandma Lin.
Tao Yan stared at Xiao Hongli in surprise and shock and screamed, “You’d better lock me up! You’d better put me in jail! Then everyone will know how you bully us! Let the public uphold justice for me!”
“Haha…” Tang Xi, who had been standing at the side, walked out of the corner. Emanating an overwhelming aura, she folded her arms over her chest and walked up to Tao Yan and Lin Ruozhi with unhurried steps. Although she was small, she was taller than the two of them, and because she was too beautiful, her presence of being was much greater than the average person. In particular, when she became set on inspiring awe in somebody, her aura was absolutely terrifying.
When Tao Yan and Lin Ruozhi saw this particularly beautiful girl walking up to them, their hearts jolted sharply. Lin Ruozhi got up from the ground and then the elderly couple took a step backward at the same time. Watching their movements, Tang Xi sneered with icy eyes.
Xiao Hongyi was greatly relieved upon seeing Tang Xi coming over, as if seeing a rescuer. He wanted to step forward, but he did not dare to when he saw Tang Xi’s sharp gaze.
Xiao Yan gave a subtle smile. He had known that his sister wouldn’t let him down—she was the child of his mom and dad. When something wrong happened to their family, she would stand up and seek justice for them.
Seeing Tang Xi striding towards Tao Yan and Lin Ruozhi, Yang Jingxian and Xiao Hongli moved their lips but didn’t speak.
At this moment, Tang Xi was having mixed feelings. Xiao Rou was lucky enough to find her biological parents in her twenties, but Lin Ru… was still being taken advantage of and kept in the dark by these two people.
They didn’t conceal their evil intentions towards Lin Ru at all and had even ended up endangering her life!
Tang Xi thought that the system had been under repair for three days, so she wanted to try whether she could start it now. If she could, she would check the relations.h.i.+p between Lin Ru and the Lin Family. To her surprise… the data collected by 008 was so complete that it even marked that they were not blood-related.
Tang Xi continued to walk steadily towards Tao Yan and Lin Ruozhi, with cold eyes and an icy smile, and she only stopped when she had forced them into a corner, after which she said coldly, “Do you two think you can get away with punishment just because it has been decades?”
Tao Yan frowned and cursed, “Are you out of your mind? I don’t understand what you’re talking about!”
Tang Xi looked at Tao Yan, and then at Lin Ruozhi, before continuing to speak coldly. “Lin Ruozhi. Will you confess, or shall I speak for you?”
Surprised by her att.i.tude, Yang Jingxian wanted to come forward to stop Tang Xi and tell her not to be so rude, but she didn’t move in the end—Tang Xi didn’t give them any chance to speak, stepping forward to pull out some hairs from the elderly couple while they were not paying attention. Tao Yan immediately yelled loudly, “Hey, b*tch, why did you pull my hair?!”
Tang Xi looked at them and sneered, “Because…” Pausing, she turned to take a look at Yang Jingxian and Xiao Hongyi, and then back at the loudly yelling Tao Yan, continuing, “Because I want to take a paternity test for you and my mom with your hairs. Why would I need them otherwise?”
“Don’t claim kins.h.i.+p with me. I don’t know your mom!” Seeing how none of the Xiao Family members had greeted Tang Xi when she arrived, Tao Yan thought the latter was just a stranger, so she ignored her, swearing.
Tang Xi raised a corner of her mouth to smirk. “Yes, you don’t know me.” The next second, she immediately turned cold. “But Lin Ru, who is lying in the ward, is my mom, so I know her. Since you just said you don’t know my mom, then why not carry out a paternity test? I think I’m too beautiful and my mom too graceful to have a mom like you.” Then she turned her eyes to Lin Ruozhi, finis.h.i.+ng, “And a dad like you.”
When Tao Yan heard her words, a complicated gleam flashed across her eyes. Suddenly, she thought of something and looked fl.u.s.tered. She reached out to grab the hairs in Tang Xi’s hand, yelling, “I’m her mom! Give my hairs back! You wicked girl, I’m your grandma! How dare you treat me like this?!”
Xiao Hongli and the others looked at Tang Xi with surprise, but knowing that Tang Xi had previously saved Xiao Yao’s life, they believed in her—Lin Ru might really not be Tao Yao and Lin Ruozhi’s daughter… Yang Jingxian looked at Tao Yan’s disgusting face and frowned. Lin Ru really didn’t take after the couple at all!
Xiao Hongyi gulped as he stepped forward to grab Tang Xi’s arm and asked excitedly, “Rourou, what do you mean?”
Without waiting for Tang Xi to speak, Tao Yan came over to drag Xiao Hongyi away, shouting, “Don’t listen to her nonsense. Lin Ru was born by me. Of course I know whether she’s my daughter or not!” She did not dare to look Tang Xi in the eye as she tried to take back the hairs in the latter’s hand.
Holding onto the hairs, Tang Xi hid behind Xiao Yan. She hadn’t fully recovered and her feet were injured. If she was pushed over by this old woman, she would be embarra.s.sed.
Seeing how Tang Xi hid behind him, Xiao Yan smiled. He s.h.i.+elded Tang Xi behind him and stepped forward to stop Tao Yan, saying coldly, “Since you say my mom is your daughter, why don’t you dare to perform a paternity test? What are you afraid of?”
Lin Ruozhi’s face turned stiff. He stood out and in a kind tone, urged Xiao Hongyi, “Hongyi, stop…” As he could not remember Xiao Rou’s name, he could only continue to speak. “Stop your daughter. She is trying to embarra.s.s everyone. How could your mom and I not be Lin Ru’s biological parents? She is still in a coma. She would be so disappointed if she found out you wanted to do this to her after she wakes up.”
