“Or maybe she doesn't love him at all, so he doesn't care about anything he does.” Xiao Jing smiled mockingly as she said, “Women are really cruel.”

Tang Xi did not know what to say. She had no idea back then that she had tried to make up with him, let alone be aware of his next pursuit and confession of love. He didn't even see it. Although he did not want to hear news about her, if he went to the Empire Group to find her, he would know about it!

Tang Xi tried to calm down and asked, "Is he chasing after that woman again?"

A waiter came to serve the dish at this time. While eating his food, Xiao Jing said, "Yes. He found that his physical condition did not deteriorate after winning back the Qiao Group, so he went to the hospital to check his body, and a doctor told him that his cancer cells were all dead. After that she did a thorough medical examination only to find that the cancer cells had appeared in her body because someone had poisoned her food. And at that moment, for some reason, his cancer cells had disappeared from his body! That's why he wanted to find the woman, tell her the truth and that he wanted to make up with her, but he had someone tell him that he didn't want to see her again and warned her to stop."

“As an arrogant man, pocketing his pride and begging him to make up with her was the thing he could do the most. He will not continue to pursue her. That was why despite being sad that the woman was so cruel to him, he did not look for her anymore. But he had been paying close attention to the news of — when he heard he was involved in a plane crash, he put aside his efforts to search for the woman, even ignoring his mother who was in the sanatorium."

Tang Xi felt her heart ache. He had really never heard of the news about him, and no one had ever told him that he had gone to the Empire Group to find him!

Now he really wanted to ask Qiao Liang about it, or go back to the Empire Group to find out who played this trick between them and make them misunderstand each other so deeply!

However, he could not do it, because now that he was a nobody, he could not affect anyone and could not even trigger a single emotion from Qiao Liang!

"So it looks like Qiao Liang is very pitiful." Tang Xi had no appetite at all, so she took a sip of soup. "But it's possible that the woman didn't know that Qiao Liang went to see her."

"That's impossible. Qiao Liang was thrown out of the door of his house. How could he not know?” Xiao Jing said angrily. “I hope Qiao Liang won't find the woman. The things Qiao Liang did for him were not worth it!”

Tang Xi felt a little guilty. 'Brother, do you know that you speak ill of me in front of my face? And I really don't know about that!' Was he really thrown out at his door?

She really doesn't know anything about it, okay?

Persecuted, Tang Xi felt so bad, so, so bad! He wished he could hurry to Xiao Jing immediately and explain, "This isn't me, it's not me, I really don't know anything about that!" but he can't.

Tang Xi tried to suppress her emotions and sighed, "So Qiao Liang will find her tomorrow?"

Xiao Jing nodded, but then suddenly stopped before giving Tang Xi a dangerous look and asked fiercely, "Rourou, why do you care so much about Qiao Liang? I said, don't have a crush on him! I warn you, from what I know about him, even if the woman died in the Pacific Ocean, even if she saw the corpse with her own eyes, he said, she's not gonna fall in love with anyone else, you know?"

Tang Xi stopped, and her nose was a little sour as she asked, "Does she really love him?"

But why had he not felt it before?

Tang Xi nodded, "I know. I had no idea that Qiao Liang was a single-minded person."

Xiao Sa smiled and stretched out his chopsticks to refill Tang Xi's bowl. "The more heartless a man is, the more he can love. But he will give all his love to one person and close his eyes to others, so their love will hurt others. Rourou, Qiao Liang is a very good man, but he will hurt you. Please don't let yourself get hurt. We don't want to see that happen, you know?"

Tang Xi looked at him blankly and suddenly realized that they were misunderstanding; they must have thought that Xiao Rou was interested in Qiao Liang.

Seeing that he was unable to give a response in a short period of time, Xiao Jing said, “I know that for you, Qiao Liang is almost like a god, and you even think of him as your charming prince, but Rourou, you know that you are, I'll have to tell you— if you fall in love with Qiao Liang, you'll get hurt."

"So you can't fall in love with her, all right?"

Tang Xi suddenly laughed and said, "Sa, Jing, you guys misunderstood! I was only moved by Qiao Liang. I'm not gonna fall in love with a guy I met for the first time."

He clenched his fists. He knew that he would not get hurt because Qiao Liang would never hurt him. From their words, he knew that it was impossible for Qiao Liang to hurt him, because he could not bear to hurt him.

Xiao Jing immediately felt relieved and said, "Oh. In that case, can't you not wear that sad look while listening to the story? I almost had a heart attack!"

Tang Xi chuckled and put down her chopsticks. "Sa, Jing, thank you for today. I'm going back to class. I didn't go to class all morning. I'm afraid I'm gonna lose a bet with Sa."

"Losing?" Xiao Sa snorted and joked, "This is only the first day. Looks like you lost at the starting line."

Tang Xi grimaced at Xiao Sa, "It was just an accident. No one expected a teacher to be jealous of my beauty and try to frame me! But thank you for helping me today."

Xiao Jing suddenly stopped Tang Xi, asking, "Rourou, why are you asking for Sa and me's help?"

From what he knew about children like Xiao Rou, when this kind of incident happened, they would try to solve it on their own without disturbing their families, and would not tell anyone even when scolded by a teacher. Even though she knew that her little sister was not a submissive person, she still did not understand why she acted that way.

Tang Xi smiled and said, "Why don't I ask my supporters for help because I have it."

What he knew most since his childhood was that power was meant to be used.
