As soon as Tang Xi walked in, Xiao Jing beckoned her over. “Rourou, come on. Have some squab soup!”
Tang Xi smiled, sat down and had a mouthful of the squab soup, the temperature was just right. Then she raised her eyebrows and asked, “Jing, did you drink my soup?”
Xiao Jing scowled. “Of course not! I just changed a bowl of soup for you. Otherwise, your squab soup would be cold!”
“How do you have the nerve to say this? Look at yourself, as strong as a horse. How could you steal your sister’s soup?” Yang Jingxian couldn’t help scolding Xiao Jing.
Xiao Jing looked at his mother aggrievedly. “Mom, am I really your son?!”
“No, I picked you up from the tras.h.!.+” Yang Jingxian said and handed another bowl of soup to Tang Xi. “Rourou, drink more soup. You’ve become thinner after you were injured in school. You are finally looking better these days. I think you should have more nouris.h.i.+ng food.”
Tang Xi thanked Yang Jingxian all smiles. Yang Jingxian nodded in satisfaction and turned to chat with the others. Tang Xi drank the soup and blinked at Xiao Jing. The latter glared at Tang Xi and snorted.
Yang Jingxian turned around only to see Xiao Jing glaring at Tang Xi. She patted Xiao Jing’s head hard. “If you dare glare at your sister again, I’ll gouge out your eyes!”
“Mom! I’m actually not your son am I?!” Xiao Jing spluttered.
Lin Ru was amused by the mother and son.
“No, you aren’t!” Yang Jingxian said coldly, “Otherwise, why are you so difficult and your first and second brothers are so well-behaved?!”
“Mom, I can be difficult too!” Xiao Sa took sides with his brother.
“Shut up.” Yang Jingxian was amused by Xiao Sa.
Xiao Sa winked at Xiao Jing. Tang Xi laughed out loud. Every time Jing played jokes on her, he would be scolded. Then he would come to ‘abuse’ Sa…
Why didn’t he come to Yao? Well, that was because he would only end up being beaten up by Yao if he did.
If Xiao Jing bullied her, he would only be… ma.s.s brawled by everyone, so he could only vent his anger on Sa. As for Yao, haha, he would never become his punching bag.
Xiao Yao patted Xiao Jing’s shoulder. “You know, as long as Rourou is around, Mom can’t see anyone else.”
Xiao Jing nodded in satisfaction. At least, his brothers were also ignored by his mother.
The others must feel very helpless if they knew what Xiao Jing was thinking…
The new round of present giving started after dinner. Yang Jingxian gifted Tang Xi a scarf, while Yang Jingchao gave her a pa.s.s. He said to Tang Xi, “Rourou, with this pa.s.s, you can enter the military camp and receive training. I’ll customize a training course for you to help you build up your body.
Tang Xi was very happy to hear that. She was wondering how to work out. If she asked Qiao Liang to help her, he would probably refuse her because he couldn’t bear to see her suffer. As for Yao… well, he was a choice even worse than Qiao Liang.
Tang Xi took over the pa.s.s and thanked Yang Jingchao excitedly.
Yang Jingchao was glad that Tang Xi was excited to receive the pa.s.s. He took a look at his fourth son, sighed and remained silent.
“Rourou, come here.” General Yang beckoned Tang Xi.
Tang Xi came up to General Yang and called him, “Grandpa.”
General Yang nodded all smiled and handed her a piece of white jade. “This is a warm jade. It’s good for your health if you bring it with you. Just as your uncle said, you’re too thin. This jade will do you some good.”
Tang Xi was really moved because at the moment General Yang handed her this warm jade, 008 suddenly popped up and told her that this jade was very precious and her physical points would go up soon if she brought this warm jade with her.
Tang Xi thanked General Yang. The Xiao Family people were also moved, especially Xiao Hongyi. He said, “General Yang, this is too precious. We…”
“Rourou is my granddaughter. Don’t instruct me on what I can give to her.” General Yang knew what Xiao Hongyi was about to say, so he scowled and said coldly, “Understood?”
“Thank you very much.” Xiao Hongyi said awkwardly.
General Yang waved and turned his eyes to Tang Xi. “Do you like it?”
Tang Xi nodded hard. She was so moved that she sobbed. “This is the most meaningful birthday I’ve ever had.”
Except for Grandpa, no one would give her birthday presents as special as these ones.
Including Qiao Liang?
Tang Xi closed her eyes. She didn’t know Qiao Liang was rich before because he always wore a white s.h.i.+rt and jeans. She thought his family was poor, so she never asked him for a birthday present. She would only ask him to treat her to dinner and every time Qiao Liang would take her to a restaurant with delicious food… And later when she learned that his family was actually rich, she still asked him to treat her dinner, and Qiao Liang even thought that her only interest was food…
Although she was a foodie indeed, Qiao Liang never knew that she had been waiting for him to prepare her a surprise birthday present.
However… just several days before her birthday, he asked to break up with her.
“Hey, what are you thinking of?” Xiao Jing put his arm around her shoulder and handed her a key. Tang Xi raised his eyebrows in shock. “Wow, a car key?”
“Yes, do you still remember our bet? If you win the bet, I will gift you a sports car. Now this is me keeping my word.” Xiao Jing smiled and took out another key. “But this is for the bet. I also prepared a birthday present for you.”
“Is this a key to an apartment?” Tang Xi looked at Xiao Jing. “Did you gift me an apartment?”
That was not Xiao Jing’s style!
Xiao Jing touched the tip of her nose, raised his chin and said loudly, “Are you kidding me? Do you think I’m so generous?”
Tang Xi was amused by his words. “Of course not!”
