After a short pause, Tang Xi walked up to Qin Xinying’s car, and looked at her with a faint smile. “Are you waiting for me, Miss Qin?”
Qin Xinying really hated the smile on Tang Xi’s face. She sneered as she said, “You look complacent, Miss Xiao. Is it because you have Qiao Liang’s heart?”
Tang Xi raised her eyebrows. Did Qin Xinying come here to declare war on her? Did she come here just to tell her she loved Qiao Liang? If so, she must give her a thumbs-up. After all, it was not easy for her to do that.
“So why are you waiting here for me, Miss Qin? Or do you want to see something possibly?” Tang Xi raised her eyebrows and asked sarcastically, “I don’t think you came to see how triumphant I am for having Qiao Liang?” She laughed out loud as if laughing at Qin Xinying. Then she continued, “But I’m a low-key person, so I won’t brag in front of you. I’m sorry to let you down, Miss Qin.”
Qin Xinying’s face darkened and she stared coldly at Tang Xi. “Don’t count your chickens before they are hatched. Xixi’s grandfather has come to City A and your good days will be over soon. I guess you don’t know how much Xixi’s grandfather loves her. He won’t let you off if he knew his granddaughter’s boyfriend was stolen by you.”
Tang Xi frowned. Qin Xinying had people track Grandpa! How dare she!
Qin Xinying thought Tang Xi was afraid when she saw Tang Xi frown. She crossed her arms against her chest, stared arrogantly at Tang Xi and sneered. “Xiao Rou, I advise you to be smart. Leave Qiao Liang asap! Otherwise you will be hurt. I’ve told you.”
Then she turned around and walked away smugly. Tang Xi looked at her receding figure and clenched her hands, and her eyes had a cold gleam. At this time, a car stopped beside her. Ning Ke’s face appeared behind the car window. “Xiao Rou, your family’s car hasn’t arrived? Where are you going? Let me give you a lift.”
Tang Xi wanted to reject it, but then she looked around and found no taxis to be seen anywhere because the school day wasn’t over yet. She nodded and thanked Ning Ke. “Thank you. Can you send me to the Qiao’s International Group? I want to see my third brother.”
Ning Ke asked the driver to go there and began to think about how to start a conversation with Tang Xi, but she was looking out of the window and was not intending to speak, so he could only purse his lips and look down at the French textbook in his hand.
Tang Xi was communicating with 008 after confirming Little Six was in the Qiao’s International Group. To her surprise, 008 immediately told her who was tracking her grandfather. Tang Xi took down the information of that person and was intending to have Qiao Liang fix the problem.
Tang Xi was staring blankly out of the window on the way, giving no chance for Ning Ke to start a conversation with her. When she finally looked back at Ning Ke who was glad that he finally had a chance to talk with her, they had arrived at the Qiao’s International Group. Tang Xi thanked Ning Ke politely and got out of the car. Ning Ke hurriedly followed her out of the car as he asked, “Xiao Rou, do you know that girl whom you were talking to just now?”
Tang Xi took a look at Ning Ke and raised her eyebrows. Ning Ke seemed to realize he just asked her an improper question, and scratched his head awkwardly as he said with a smile, “Sorry, I shouldn’t have asked this, right? I’m just concerned about you, because you looked angry just now.”
Tang Xi smiled. “It’s alright. I don’t know that person. She was just asking me the way but her att.i.tude was bad, so I messed with her a little bit.”
Ning Ke smiled. “Okay, see you tomorrow.” With that, he turned around and got in the car.
Tang Xi smiled and walked into the building. She was so beautiful that she attracted a great deal of attention, especially when she started walking towards the elevator. Tang Xi sighed and regretted that she didn’t wear her mask and hat…
Tang Xi looked around and found that they began to gossip about her in threes or fours. Having sharp ears, she heard every single word of their conversations.
“Is that the red carpet girl in the Microblogs?”
“Yes, it’s her. Look at her school uniform. She looks so young and totally different from the day when she was in that red dress!”
“Yes, yes, they called her the queen in the Microblog, but now she looks like a little princess!”
“But why did she come to our company?”
“Did she come to sign a contract with our company to enter the entertainment industry?”
“But our company is not an entertainment company! Why did she sign contract with our company if she wants to enter the entertainment circle?”
“She is a celebrity online, and her fans on Microblog are even planning to establish a fan club for her. Perhaps she came to be our company’s advertising model!”
The corner of Tang Xi’s mouth twitched when she heard their words. She hurriedly took out her cell phone and called Xiao Jing. After Xiao Jing answered the phone, she shouted out loud, “Third Brother! I’m downstairs in your company’s building. The card is required to use the elevator. How can I get upstairs?”
In fact, she had the elevator card, but she couldn’t just use it under the public gaze! Otherwise, they would gossip about her… She would rather have her ident.i.ty as the Miss of the Xiao Family be gossiped about than her ident.i.ty as Qiao Liang’s girlfriend being spoken about, for the former was more likely to be accepted by the public.
“Oh, I recall who she is!”
As soon as she hung up the phone, someone shouted in the crowd. “She is President Xiao’s sister, whose ident.i.ty used to be taken by Xiao Jinning! She is Xiao Rou!”
“Oh my gos.h.!.+ Yes, it’s her! She looks so gorgeous! She is not like a country b.u.mpkin at all! She looks like a high-cla.s.s lady!”
“By the way, have you seen the video where she plays the piano?”
“It’s said that she is also a straight A student in school. Her grades are among the best in the First High School of City A!”
“Although I doubt the authenticity of the grades of those elite schools, after I saw her playing the piano I’m sure she is a real princess who happened to grow up in a common family.”
Guys, you are speaking so loudly that I can hear you… But thank you for your praises! The corner of her eyes twitched, and she pretended not to hear them. Just then, the receptionist came over, greeted her politely and asked gently, “Miss Xiao, did you come to see President Xiao? May I call him for you?”
Tang Xi rejected politely. “Thank you, but I’ve called my brother and he will come downstairs soon.”
The crowd and the receptionist, “…” We already knew that, okay? She (I) just accosted you with that excuse.
The receptionist nodded with a smile. “I won’t disturb you, then.”
Tang Xi thanked her with a smile and the crowd was in an uproar again. “She is so polite!”
“She is way nicer than the famous stars!”
“She is beautiful and polite! This is how a fair lady is supposed to be like!”
“She is not like the fakers who only know how to put on airs…”
