[008: Are you so sure that something bad will happen to him? Maybe you're too worried. Maybe he'll be okay.]

Tang Xi leaned against the tree with a frown, looked at the lake not far away and asked gently, "008, do you know that my intuition never fails? I felt a strong nervousness before the plane crash, and it turns out I did have an accident.”

[008: I will keep an eye on Xiao Yao for you. If something happens to her, I will tell you immediately, and then you can go and bring Xiao Yao back. But if you go there now, how are you going to explain things to him?]

Tang Xi became calm. What 008 said was true; if he were to go there now, he might make trouble for Xiao Yao, so he could only pray that Xiao Yao would be fine, but if there really was something bad happening to her, she would use her versatile skills to save her.

As for whether Xiao Yao would ask why he was there, he could not care too much about it.

For now, Xiao Yao's safety was more important than anything.

Making up her mind, Tang Xi was no longer confused. He saw his watch. If he were to return to school now, the second grade would soon begin, but many reporters waited at the school gate. How did he get into school?

At that moment, Xiao Sa called out to him. Tang Xi picked up the phone and heard Xiao Sa's voice say, “Rourou, Uncle and Aunt are here. They want to see you. Will you be back?”

Hearing Xiao Sa's reluctant voice, Tang Xi giggled and then said, "Sa, if you don't want me to come back, just tell me. Why are you asking me this?”

Xiao Sa grumbled, "Uncle and Auntie said if you don't come back, they'll pick you up from school."

All the members of the Xiao Family knew that Xiao Rou was studying at City A's First High School, including Xiao Hongyi and Lin Ru, so they might come to that school… and today there are so many journalists at the school gates. If they were photographed, what would happen?

Thinking for a moment, Tang Xi could only nod and say, “Then I will return. Can you pick me up at school? I'm in a park near here.”

Even though he can drive, he doesn't have a SIM right now, so it's better that he wait here until his brother picks him up, just in case he gets caught on the road by the traffic police.

Xiao Sa said okay, glanced back at Lin Ru and Xiao Hongyi, then called Xiao Jing to pick Tang Xi up with her.

At this thought, Lin Ru looked at Yang Jingxian and said in a low voice, "Jingxian, I'm very sorry to have disturbed you and caused you to be targeted by so many reporters because of our mistakes. Today I came here for..”.

Yang Jingxian raised her hand to interrupt Lin Ru and said with a smile, "I know you feel guilty, but I won't give Rourou to you, because you didn't want it in the first place."

'You gave up on him because you were too competitive. Now it's impossible for you to bring him back'. Although he never intended to snatch anyone's daughter, Xiao Rou was his daughter now. They were the ones who had come to snatch his daughter, so he would not take a single step back. She finally has another daughter, who helps her recover from the pain of losing her first daughter—she doesn't want to lose Rourou.

Looking at Yang Jingxian, Lin Ru did not know what to say. Yang Jingxian was always quiet and did not attack but was very strong-minded. Once he made a decision, no one could make him change it.

Yang Jingxian thought to herself: no wonder she felt so uncomfortable today. It turned out that someone had come to take his daughter away from him. Looking at his silent phone, he could not help but grumble at Xiao Hongli in his mind — why did he not reply to his message?!

Xiao Hongyi was determined to take his daughter back. No matter what, he wanted to keep his daughter by his side. First, Grandpa Xiao will be happy, second, his wife will be happy, and third, his son will be happy. When they are happy, they will be happy.

Most importantly, Liu Chengyu had clearly shown that he liked Xiao Rou. If Xiao Rou returned, she could still gain the support of the Liu Family by marrying Xiao Rou with Liu Chengyu!

So he had to take his daughter back. His brother could help Xiao Rou to study at City A's First High School, and he could too. He can give her whatever they give her. He wanted Xiao Rou to come back to him and call him Father.

With this thought, Xiao Hongyi inevitably said, “What do you mean, Jingxian? Rourou is our daughter. What's wrong with him coming back to our house?"

Lin Ru frowned after hearing Xiao Hongyi's words, and was about to speak when she was interrupted by Yang Jingxian's cold voice. Yang Jingxian looked at Xiao Hongyi with a sneer and said, "Brother, that's funny. You mean, you did nothing wrong by leaving your daughter, while we wrongly accepted the daughter left behind by you?”

"You know I didn't mean it!" Xiao Hongyi said coldly. “We do not acknowledge Rourou for a reason. You know we were fooled by Xiao Jinning. Since all the facts have been revealed, shouldn't we bring our daughter back?”

"Brother, it is not our fault that you are blind," Yang Jingxian said coldly. “In addition, not because we lied to you, but because you were too gullible. Can you blame us for this? And you cannot use Xiao Jinning as an excuse to leave Rourou.”

Xiao Hongyi still wanted to say something, but Lin Ru stopped him. Lin Ru gave Yang Jingxian an apologetic smile and said, "Sorry, Jingxian, you know she is not good at expressing herself. I'm apologizing to you on his behalf. I know it won't be easy to get forgiveness from you and Rourou. Of course, I'm not here to take Rourou away from you. I just wanted to apologize to him.”
