Some people said that Qiao Liang was a very cold, bloodthirsty person, because he did not even save his own father's life, while others said he was a very successful person, a very successful person, because those at the top of the food chain do not need affection.

Everyone put their eyes on Qiao Liang and Liu Chengyu. They thought that no matter how strong Qiao Liang was, he would show respect to the Liu Group. Just now, Liu Chengyu did not greet him by his own name, but on behalf of "Group Liu".

Everyone was wondering how Qiao Liang would react. Would he be friendly towards the Liu Group, or ignore Liu Chengyu?

Qiao Liang's response was as expected and unexpected by everyone.

He looked at Liu Chengyu, nodded his greetings and then walked directly to Tang Xi.

Seeing her coming towards him step by step, Tang Xi felt her heart pound. He wouldn't recognize her, would he? She had disguised herself well, so she was sure she would never recognize him. At this moment, he had a small monster living in his heart. The little monster cried out in confusion, hoping but fearing that Qiao Liang would recognize him.

Qiao Liang finally stopped in front of Tang Xi, then looked at Xiao Jing with a frown, "Is he Xiao Rou?"

While Xiao Jing had told him that Xiao Rou was different now, she did not expect him to change so much. Qiao Liang had a very good memory, but he would only remember people and things he wanted to remember. As for who it wasn't, he would immediately wipe away the related memories from his brain like taking out the trash. However, when he needed to remember it, he would quickly retrieve that memory from his brain's 'trash bin. Just now, when she saw Tang Xi, she immediately recalled what Tang Xi was like in the sanatorium.

Although Xiao Rou was white at that moment, she was truly a different person from the woman before her eyes.

Tang Xi's heart was pounding, the last time they had only caught a glimpse of each other, but today she was standing in front of him, looking at him in such a way that he could not escape her presence.

That's how it used to be—dia could see through it in one glance.

Xiao Jing said something. Tang Xi did not hear his words, and only saw Qiao Liang nod and say, "He really looks like ..."

'who looks? Tang Xi's? Did you finally know?'

“Seeing like what?”Xiao Jing asked the question in Tang Xi's mind.

Qiao Liang looked away from Tang Xi and said indifferently, "Like a fifteen or sixteen year old high school student."

Disappointed that she didn't recognize him, Tang Xi suppressed the bitterness in her heart and forced a smile as she asked, "Is Aunt Qiao okay?"

Qiao Liang narrowed his eyes and suddenly looked at Tang Xi, Tang Xi was surprised, what's wrong with her?

Qiao Liang's face gradually turned cold, "I'll send someone to pick you up on Saturday. My mother misses you so much."

Tang Xi nodded with a smile.

Liu Chengyu rarely went down from a tall horse to one's brown nose, yet Qiao Liang only gave him a cold shoulder. Moreover, it seemed that the girl he cared about had a good relationship with Qiao Liang, and even the hostess of the Qiao Family, so she narrowed her eyes and said in a cold voice, "President Xiao, you know, aren't you going to solve this problem?"

Xiao Sa glanced at him before telling Xiao Jing about the situation. Xiao Jing raised her eyebrows and looked at Liu Chengyu with a faint smile as she said, "President Liu, don't worry. Let's go to the conference room. After all, there are so many people here.”

Tang Xi did not want to go with them, but Xiao Jing did not want her to stay somewhere they could not see, so she pushed her into the conference room. Qiao Liang also followed them. Even if he was not a shareholder of this school, he was an honored guest and no one dared to expel him. After a while, after hearing the news about this event, the headmaster also came over. Seeing brother Xiao and the most powerful person in City A, Qiao Liang, sitting in the conference room, he hurriedly came forward and apologized, "Sorry, everyone. The school has just opened and we have a lot to deal with. I've just heard you come here. Sorry for not coming out to see you!”

"It's okay," Xiao Jing interrupted, "Since you're here, you can see if there's anything wrong with my sister's clothes today."

As the headmaster walked in, he noticed the girl sitting beside Xiao Jing. In order not to disturb the Xiao brothers, she did not dare to look at him up close, but now after hearing Xiao Jing's words, she carefully looked towards him. Tang Xi went up and down. Thinking of what a teacher had reported to him a moment before, he scolded Cao in his heart. Look what he's done! He made a big problem for her and gave her a hard nut to crack. That student was not over-dressed at all!

She's too pretty.

Hating to be stared at in such a way, Tang Xi looked at the principal. The sharp glint in his eyes shocked him. Why does this girl have such sharp eyes? He just sat there but gave off a sense of pressure. He had seen many people his age, but he had never seen such a special girl before.

He hurriedly wiped the sweat off his forehead and said carefully, "No, no, this student is dressed very formally. There's nothing wrong with the clothes."

Tang Xi pursed her lips, withdrew her gaze and lowered her head as if she was thinking.

Xiao Jing looked at Liu Chengyu sneering, "President Liu, any more words? Will President Liu let a teacher who insulted his student continue to stay at school just to defend your fiancee?"

Liu Chengyu frowned and said, "I'm not saying I want to keep this teacher, but it concerns the reputation of my fiancee. If you fired this teacher alone, wouldn't that be like justifying the charges against my fiancee?"

Tang Xi sneered in her heart, and casually raised her eyes to look at Liu Chengyu as she said, "Master Liu, your fiance must be very happy to know that you are trying so hard to defend her."

Liu Chengyu was glad he spoke to her; however, he felt a little uncomfortable after hearing her words, so he said coldly, "Miss Xiao Rou, while I don't know what happened between you and Jinning, she never spoke badly of you. He always says good things about you instead. Why do you insist that he tried to hurt you?"

“Haha, so you mean I have a persecution complex?” Tang Xi propped up her chin with one hand and looked at Liu Chengyu with a sarcastic smile as she continued, "But I don't want to tell you why I'm sure it's Xiao Jinning, because I thought it might be more fun if you found out the truth yourself."
