No one present is stupid. Looking at Tao Yan's evasive eyes, they knew that he must be afraid of something, but they still did not dare to believe Tang Xi's bold guess. If it was really as he said, then when did this conspiracy start? How many years ago?

Realizing his slipping tongue, Tao Yan was in a hurry to leave, but then he saw Xiao Jinning suddenly being pushed into the hospital by Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa, who were both in a hurry, so she stopped and looked at Tang Xi, crying, "What do you want?!”

Tang Xi sneered and looked at them coldly. "Fearful? Unfortunately, it's too late." Looking at Xiao Jinning, who was walking with a frown, he said coldly, "There are too many people here. Let's find somewhere else to talk. It's a hospital. We'd better not make a fuss here.”

Finished speaking, he walked forward without looking at the others, arms folded on his chest. Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing watched Tang Xi go to the elevator before pushing Xiao Jinning after him expressionlessly on their faces.

This was the Lin'an hospital, sponsored by Xiao Hongli and his family, so they had an office here. Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing naturally knew what Tang Xi wanted and thus they pushed Xiao Jinning into the spacious hospital president's office. Tang Xi sat on the black sofa and looked at Xiao Jinning, who had been silent the entire time, then she smiled and said, "Congratulations. Even though you were excluded from the Xiao family, some are still trying to defend you and help settle your living expenses.”

Xiao Jinning sneered. He didn't know what was happening, so he laughed coldly and said, "What? Are you envious? Unfortunately, grandparents will always stand by my side, no matter you..."

Her words were interrupted by Tang Xi, who was sitting on a large black leather sofa with her hands folded, looking like a Queen. Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing, one leaning against the door and the other sitting on the armrest of the sofa, stared at the two of them. Wearing a faint smile on her face, Tang Xi said, "Why should I care about what your so-called blood-unrelated grandparents are with me? Wh-wh-what for? Sorry, but my grandfather was general Yang, not an uneducated trash.”

"What do you mean?" Xiao Jinning frowned. Then something happened to him and he sneered, "Although grandfather and grandmother are not blood related to me, they are still on my side, while you, their biological grandson, are, nothing in their eyes!”

"Xiao Jinning, since you like your grandparents so much, keep an eye on them. Don't let them go out, make a spectacle of themselves and cut out their own retreat!" Tang Xi threw a deep and cold look at him.

Seeing the connotations in Tang Xi's words, Xiao Jinning frowned and asked in a low voice, "What do you mean?”

Tang Xi raised an eyebrow in response, and that was when the office door opened and yang Jingxian brought Tao Yan and Lin Ruozhi in. Tang Xi looked at them and said indifferently, "You can ask them.”

Tao Yan was clearly relieved when he saw that Xiao Jinning was unharmed. He stepped forward to hold Xiao Jinning's hand and gently comforted her, "Jinning, don't be afraid. Grandma is here. As long as Grandma is here, no one can hurt you.”

Xiao Jinning felt uneasy hearing Tang Xi's words. He was in no mood to listen to Tao Yan's hypocritical words. She hummed in response as she looked at Tang Xi and said coldly, "Explain yourself!”

"Don't you know that your grandmother pushed my mother down the stairs, and now she's lying in the ward below? I'll assure you that your good grandmother will be punished. Otherwise, hadn't my mother been pushed down the stairs for nothing?”

Xiao Jinning then turned her gaze to Tang Xi, saying, "So what? Grandma didn't mean to do it.”

"Then what about you? You've done a deliberate injury." Tang Xi changed the topic as she looked at Xiao Jinning and continued slowly, "I think you are clear about what you are doing, You have someone put broken glass in a hot spring and make me fall, which is considered a deliberate injury. I wonder how you will defend yourself because I have human testimony and material evidence!”

"Omong empty!" Tao Yan's voice rang.

Ignoring Tao Yan, Tang Xi simply looked at Xiao Jinning with cold eyes. Xiao Jing paused for a moment before leaping forward, exclaiming, "That person is you! The model that replaced me was you!”

"Shocked?" Tang Xi, who had been sitting there like a Queen, suddenly stood up to look Xiao Jinning in the eyes. "You took everything from me. Everything I did afterwards was learned from you. Besides, I am sincere and do nothing against the law!”

"Good!" Hearing his words, Tao Yan walked two steps forward. "It turns out you were the one who took everything from Jinning. You are to blame for getting him into such trouble! How can you be so cruel?”

Seeing how Tao Yan sided with him, a glimmer of satisfaction flashed in Xiao Jinning's eyes. He looked at Tang Xi and smiled arrogantly. Yeah, you took everything from me. But so what? Grandma and grandpa will continue to scold you like this! Do you think you'll be happy?

However, Tang Xi's expression did not even change as she looked at Tao Yan, gave him a cold smile and said sharply, "I don't think I can compete with you in being evil, Ms. Taoist. You stole a child from another family, made it into a slave and forced my mother to do all the farm work and homework. Even when my mother gets her own tuition fees, you will beat her hard and take money from her. If he wasn't smart enough to hide a bit of what he got outside, would he be making the achievements he has today?!" Seeing Tao Yan's face change suddenly, Tang Xi continued in a cold voice, "Do you think no one knows what you're doing because so many years have passed?

"You have two daughters. How do you many have the cheek to ask my mother for money despite having tortured her all this time? What about your real daughter? He just gives cold shoulder, doesn't he?”

Xiao Jinning looked at Tang Xi in shock, asking, "What did you say?”

Tang Xi smiled. Seeing how Xiao Jinning was surprised, he said with a faint smile, "Are you disappointed? You think you can use Tao Yan And Lin Ruozhi to make my future life difficult, but they cut only your retreat as well as their own.”

Tang Xi bit off every word followed by a dagger in her eyes. "Sorry, but you can't get what you want.”
