“Hey, Rourou, what do you still see?” The little nurse who came to call Xiao Rou waved her hand in front of Tang Xi's eyes and urged, “Quick, they are waiting for you. I even need time to find you. Stop looking at Mr. Qiao. If you really want to see it, you can watch it on television!"

Aware of her trance, Tang Xi discovered that Aunt Qiao was looking at her with strange eyes. He smirked in embarrassment and said, "Aunt Qiao, your son is so handsome!" He then held the little nurse's hand and fled.

Qiao Liang walked over to his mother. Looking at Tang Xi who had just escaped, she frowned. He then crouched down, covered his mother's legs with a blanket and asked gently, "Do you feel better?"

Aunt Qiao smiled, held Qiao Liang's hand and nodded. He said, "You don't have to come here right away if you're busy. I'm gonna get out of the hospital."

"This time, I ..." Qiao Liang suddenly fell silent before saying, "I'll stay here with you for two days, and then I'll go to Country M."

"There's more business?" Aunt Qiao frowned. "Didn't you just come back from a month-long business trip? Why are you on a business trip again?"

“There's something I have to deal with.” Qiao Liang stopped talking, clearly unwilling to continue on this topic.

Seeing that, Aunt Qiao knew that she would not get the answer she wanted even if she kept asking him, so she changed the subject. “I'll look for air by the lake with Rourou. Can you take me there?"

"okay."

Tang Xi dragged the little nurse and ran towards the hospital building. As he ran, he asked the little nurse, "Who came to see me?"

"A beautiful woman" replied the little nurse.

Tang Xi frowned, "There's someone else?"

"And a pretty girl."

Tang Xi did not know who they were, so she was in no hurry. He slowed down his pace and chatted casually with the nurse, "What did you eat for lunch today?"

“Boiled beef in canteen.”.

"Oh, you got boiled beef to eat! I don't!"

Tang Xi waltzed into the ward and bid farewell to the little nurse before pushing the door open. As soon as he entered the room, a burst of abuse flew towards him. "Why are you running around? Don't you know you're a patient? You just embarrassed me! Can't you act like yourself? We've been waiting for you for so long! Did you know that I can even sign a contract all this time?!"

The one who cursed him was Lin Ru, Xiao Rou's mother and a successful career woman.

Lin Ru used to be the main agent of Shengda Entertainment Corporation before she married Xiao Hongyi, president of parent company Shengda Entertainment — Xiao Group — and gave birth to a daughter and a son. Now he has become the general manager of Shengda Entertainment.

"Didn't you hear me?!" Lin Ru glared at Xiao Rou and was about to scold her again, but then she suddenly stopped. He had not seen Xiao Rou for a month and his complexion had improved greatly.

In fact, she had learned that she had mistaken someone else's child for hers from the start, so she felt guilty towards her own daughter and tried her best to find him. However, when he finally found it, the results were extremely disappointing. How he wished that this ugly, rude, and shy girl was not his child! But DNA identification won't lie...

"Yes," Tang Xi replied with a flat expression, "Don't you say I shouldn't cut as you speak? I'm just letting you finish."

With that, Tang Xi glanced at Xiao Jinning who was standing behind Lin Ru and triumphantly sneered at her, directly going to her sick bed, sat down and said coldly, "I'm sorry. There is nothing in my ward except this sick bed, so you have to stand.”

Lin Ru looked back at the girl sitting on the sick bed in surprise. Was this her daughter who was shy like a rat and looked like she was looking for a hole to hide in whenever they met? Is this the girl he doesn't want to see at all?

Xiao Jinning frowned, but soon eased her brows. He had not expected that in just a month, Xiao Rou had improved her skin and become even bolder!

"Rourou, how can you talk to Mom like this? Mom's worried about you. He was too worried about you when he couldn't find you in the ward, so his tone was rather strong. But you really shouldn't talk to her like that.” Xiao Jinning looked at Xiao Rou kindly and smiled, saying, “And Mom specifically came here to take you home.”

It seemed like she was explaining to Lin Ru, but if others heard her words, they would only feel Tang Xi was so stupid and rude.

"Home?" Tang Xi chuckled, a cold gleam in her eyes. He looked at Lin Ru and raised his eyebrows. "If my memory is correct, I remember I was expelled from the Xiao Family by Madam Lin a month ago."

"Don't you know why I kicked you out?" When Lin Ru heard his words, the final gentleness in her heart disappeared. He glanced at Tang Xi coldly and said, "Xiao Rou, my daughter will never be a thief! You stole from Jinning. You should be ashamed!"

"Haha." Tang Xi sneered and suddenly turned her gaze to Xiao Jinning.

Xiao Jinning felt a little guilty under her gaze, so she hurriedly said, "Mother, maybe I accidentally left that thing in Rourou's room. Please don't blame him. He's still a patient."

Lin Ru finally stopped after hearing this, but she was still glaring at Tang Xi. Tang Xi glared back and said coldly, "Mrs Lin, since you have seen me, you can leave now. I'm a little tired and need a break."

"Xiao Rou, can't you understand what I'm talking about?!" Seeing Tang Xi not taking it seriously, Lin Ru became angry. He rushed over and stretched out his hand to slap Tang Xi.

It was at this moment that Tang Xi caught his hand and coldly warned, "Ms. Lin's. I'm sorry, but I don't have a relationship with you now. You can't hit me. Otherwise, I'll sue you for deliberate assault."

"I'm your mother!" Lin Ru struggled and tried to remove her hand from Tang Xi's hand, only to find that she couldn't let go of Tang Xi's hand. She furiously growled, "You ungrateful girl, let go of my hand! "

Letting go of her as she asked, Tang Xi said unconcernedly, "I remember Ms. Lin says that I have nothing to do with you, so I don't think you're my 'mother."

Lin Ru clenched her hands. He did say that, but it was because he was too angry and disappointed back then. It never occurred to him that his daughter who looked like a black, ugly and dwarf beggar was so disappointing, it even stole Jinning's necklace. Such a person was not worthy of being her daughter, so she chased him away angrily, telling him that she had no relationship whatsoever with him and forbidding him from calling her Mother. However, he did not expect that he would disappear after that and have an accident…
