Who her? Why did she like to eat what Tang Xi liked, and why did she speak exactly as Tang Xi did when she met him at school that day?

How did he know Tang Xi's email box and password, and what did he mean by sending her that email?!

Wh why?

On the other hand, the person who raised Qiao Liang's suspicions was taken to a private room in a bar by his brother. When Tang Xi looked at the people in the room, her eyes flashed with excitement as she asked, "What are you all doing here?"

He Wanyi ran over to hug Tang Xi and replied sweetly, “Of course, to celebrate you and Xiao Yao getting out of the hospital. We should get drunk today, okay?”

Tang Xi smiled faintly, looked at the liquor on the table, and nodded. "Okay, let's get drunk tonight."

After all, he would only worry about Qiao Liang and could not fall asleep when he stayed home. It would be best for him to drink and chat with these people here. This way, time would pass quickly and he might be able to sleep well if he was drunk.

With that in mind, Tang Xi raised a glass of wine and said, "Thank you for your concern for us."

As the crowd raised the glass in response, Ning Yan stood up and said, “Hei, Little Fairy, I toast to you. Congratulations on your recovery.”

Tang Xi raised an eyebrow and asked, "Oh, is that my new nickname?"

Ning Yan curled his lips. “Although I don't like the silly and cliche nickname your brother gave you, I have to admit that you really do look like a fairy, so we reluctantly accepted it. Come on, Sister Little Fairy, drink.”

Tang Xi raised her eyebrows and clinked the glass with Ning Yan, saying, “Thank you, Director Ning, for your appreciation and concern. Now that you have called me Little Fairy, I am the most suitable person for the Magic Butterflies, right? Imagine how dreamy it is with me, little fairy, starring in a TV commercial, right?”

Speaking of TV commercials, He Wanning stood up and smiled, saying, “Yes, that's my forte. I'm sure the effect will be very satisfactory and you will not disappoint any of us.”

He Wanyi pretended to be angry and pouty as he said, “My brother, you told me that I am not suitable for that TV commercial because I am not pretty enough, and now you're saying in front of me that another girl is perfect for it. Am I really your sister?”

He Wanning replied with a frown, “That's because you are my sister so I am telling the truth. Do you know the saying that goes: kill a man by praising him? It's for your own good, understand?”

Tang Xi asked with a laugh, “So, President He tried to kill me by praising me? We haven't even started filming TV commercials yet. Have you started thinking about how to ban me?"

He Wanning blushed and faltered. "I never lie. Xiao Rou, you are so beautiful. You're the prettiest girl I've ever seen.”

Glad to hear this, Tang Xi raised her glass. “Then I want to thank President He.”

Xiao Yao, who had been sitting at the side without drinking, stopped Tang Xi and said, “Drink less. You drink too much."

"Yes, Xiao Yao," He Wanzhou said, nodding in agreement. “Don't be too serious. You're not in the army now. Since you've come here, have fun and don't care too much.” With that said, she poured him a glass of liquor. “Come, drink. You can sleep in the lounge upstairs if you are drunk.”

Remaining indifferent, Xiao Yao did not take the liquor He Wanzhou had given him. The latter curled his lips, placed the glass on the table and continued chatting with Tang Xi. At that moment, Yang Mukun, who had been sitting at the side with a sad face, came carrying a glass of liquor, sat down next to Xiao Yao and complained, “Sepupu, you should accompany me for a drink! All my brothers and sisters are soldiers even though I am not. Although I have never been important in my family since childhood, my life has not been bad. But since that day when my father visited you in the hospital, my life has gone bad! Do you know how miserable I have been at home lately?”

Xiao Yao picked up his glass, took a sip of it and nodded. Yang Mukun continued, “When I returned home that day, my father locked me in the confinement room and made me reflect on my mistakes. I did not join the army! But what's wrong with that? All my family members are soldiers. Can't I be an exception?” With that said, he reached out to clink the glass with Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao clinked the glass with him and Yang Mukun was instantly satisfied. He sipped his liquor and said, “You know. Then I asked my father what it was great to be a soldier. I said to him, Your son is only a captain even though they received your help in their career, while Cousin Yao is already a lieutenant colonel now!"

Tang Xi suddenly came and asked with a laugh, "Cousin, then you were beaten by all of them together, right?"

“I was punished with a stick,” replied The Shaman sadly. “I just told you the truth, but my father punished me with a stick! I'm not the soldier! How could he do that to me?”

Didn't they all live in a society governed by laws?!

Tang Xi raised her glass and said sympathetically, "I feel sorry for you for having Yao, a peerless genius, as your cousin."

"That's not the worst part!" The Mukun whine. “After my brothers came back and heard that I hated them, they took turns beating me and almost beat me to death!”

The corner of He Wanzhou's eyes kept twitching as he listened. Finally, he said, “Mukun, I think you better come to my house. I'll raise you. I promise I won't hit you, or scold you.”

Tang Xi sat back gaping, while He Wanyi shouted, “Sister, when did you fall in love with Yang Mukun? It really... hardcore!”

Hearing this, Yang Mukun immediately hugged Xiao Yao tightly and shouted, “Sepupu, look, this is all because of you! Now even He Wanzhou dares to persecute me! You have to protect me!”

Xiao Yao removed the Forsaken Yang fingers from him one by one and said coldly, "Do you want me to defeat you as well? It might hurt.”

The Mukun shouted, "Why are you all so mean to me?"

“Well, Kun'er, I feel sorry for you so I offered to raise you. How can you be so ungrateful?” He Wanzhou said, laughing wickedly.

The Mukun ran pitifully to He Wanzhou like a shepherd dog. "Will you give me free food and accommodation, and ladies?"

"Oh? In that case, get rid of my face,” He Wanzhou replied, pushing Yang Mukun away. "I won't accept you unless you agree to warm my bed for me."
