"Omong empty!" Tao Yan looked at Tang Xi with hatred. "Come on! Lin Ru is..."

"Shut up!"Xiao Jinning snapped at Tao Yan violently and then looked at Tang Xi with ferocious eyes as she asked, "Xiao Rou, What do you mean? Why was Lin Ru not their biological daughter?”

"Jinning, don't listen to the bullshit. Lin Ru is our daughter. He should listen to us. Don'worry. We'll make it up to you. You're..."

"Save it." Tang Xi frowned at Tao Yan, who was still unwilling to give up, and smiled coldly. "If you tell us how you stole my mother now, I may not hold you criminally responsible. Otherwise, none of you can get away with it." His voice turned loud as he finished, "You better think about it before you speak!”

With that said, before Tang Xi turned to go outside, she asked Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa to call the security guards to not allow Xiao Jinning and Tao Yan to leave the office.

Xiao Yan stared at Tang Xi's stern back, raised an eyebrow and followed her out, and so did Yang Jingxian. When she saw Tang Xi walking towards the elevator, she stepped forward to catch Tang Xi's arm and asked in a low voice, "Rourou, you look terrible. What's Wrong With You?”

Tang Xi shook her head and smiled. "I'm doing fine. I stepped on broken glass in the hot spring, so I had trouble walking.”

Yang Jingxian touched Tang Xi's Hair sadly and said gently, "I'm sorry because I let you see this ugly sight when you came to the hospital.”

Tang Xi shook her head as she held onto Yang Jingxian's hand and asked gently, "I ... how is she doing?”

Yang Jingxian knew Tang Xi asked after Lin Ru. She doesn't call the latter "mother" because she cares about her feelings. Although she was not the real Xiao Rou but a little elf, her body belonged to Xiao Rou. Moreover, as a fairy, she loved everyone. With this thought, Yang Jingxian finally released her anger towards Lin Ru. She glanced at Xiao Yan, who was standing at the side, and said to Tang Xi, "Your mother fell down the stairs and injured her ribs and spine. He just had surgery and is resting in the ward right now. He'll probably wake up tonight. Stay here to take care of him.”

Tang Xi nodded and asked Yang Jingxian to go back to rest, but the latter replied that she would wait for Xiao Hongli here. Tang Xi nodded and went towards Lin Ru's ward. Xiao Yan followed him, staring at his back, but he did not speak. Sensing her intense gaze, Tang Xi turned around and smiled at him, asking, "Brother, do you have anything to say?”

Xiao Yan was a little excited to hear Tang Xi call him brother. "Have you just called me brother, not cousin?”

Tang Xi smiled. "It's just a name. It's not important. Now it seems like Mom wants me back because she loves me, not because of the benefits I can give her.”

Xiao Yan nodded with a smile in response as he leaned on the handle of the passageway and said in a low voice, "I'm too narrow-minded." And then he asked, "How do you know they're not our actual grandparents?”

Tang Xi raised an eyebrow and looked at Xiao Yan with a smile. He replied, "That's my guess.”

Xiao Yan paused for a moment before bursting into laughter and taking out a cigarette. "That's just your guess? Ah, yes, I should have guessed it. Since our childhood, they have liked Xiao Jinning more than me, but ... if none of us are their true grandchildren, why do they like Xiao Jinning so much?”

Xiao Yan froze for a moment before frowning and raising his eyelids. She brought the Cigarette to her mouth to suck, after which she looked at Tang Xi and asked, "Rourou, do you realize what you are saying now?”

Tang Xi nodded solemnly and looked at Xiao Yan deeply. "I think this could be a conspiracy.”

Xiao Yan smiled as he finished smoking the cigarette, extinguished it and threw the Butt into the trash. Blowing the smoke in her mouth, she turned a deep look at Tang Xi. "Conspiracy? If it was really a conspiracy, it would be a huge blow to mom.”

Tang Xi raised an eyebrow. "But short-term pain is better than long-term pain, right? At least we're all here for him.”

"I think we'll know the results soon." Tang Xi smiled as she took a breath and slightly raised her chin, prompting Xiao Yan to look at Xiao Hongyi out of the identification Department. Xiao Yan turned his head only to see Xiao Hongyi come out with a frown. He could tell the result of his appearance.

Xiao Yan looked back at the calm-looking Tang Xi and frowned. "Did you know that your guess might uncover the truth that has been covered up by some people for decades?”

Tang Xi smiled and looked at Xiao Yan earnestly. "I'm here to uncover all the conspiracies, whoever they're worried about.”

Xiao Hongyi came up with two paternity test reports and growled, "Shame on them! They really aren't the parents of your mother. They've just been using it all this time! How can your mother deal with it when she finds out the truth?”

From how Xiao Hongyi remembered her, Lin Ru had always been a strong and stubborn girl who would not ask for help no matter what happened to her…

At this moment, Liu Chengyu and Xi Luoxian arrived. The latter looked a little angry. He and Lin Ru had been good friends since their time at the University, so he knew how miserable Lin Ru's life used to be. Every summer and winter break, other roommates will return home to live with their families, while Lin Ru had to live in city A and work part-time to earn her tuition fees. Not only that, he also had to send some of the money he earned to his parents, or else the couple would go to his workplace and make a fuss.

Xi Luoxian came in haste, walked straight to Xiao Hongyi, and asked in a low voice, "How is she doing? Was Ah Ru seriously injured?”

However, Liu Chengyu simply continued to stare at Tang Xi's face, his heart beating faster than usual. He's right here. Does that mean He recognizes Aunt Lin as his mother?

Does that mean he's going to be her fiance?

Thinking of this possibility, Liu Chengyu felt his heartbeat increase. She looked at Tang Xi's pretty face and the satisfaction in her heart rose to its peak in an instant.

Sensing Liu Chengyu's gaze, Tang Xi raised an eyebrow as her heart sank. It seemed that he had to apply for prerequisites before admitting his biological parents!
