“You really have a perfect understanding of French food and..”.

"Jing, I watched a food show for a week. You can ask Mother if you don't believe me," Tang Xi said expressionlessly.

Xiao Yao also frowned, "So you will only be satisfied if you see Rourou, our sister, humiliating herself while ordering food?"

Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing looked embarrassed, Xiao Jing hurriedly explained, "Yao, you know I didn't mean that."

They were too surprised. They had met Xiao Rou once when she first returned from the countryside. Although they did not have time to get along with him back then, they could sense that Xiao Rou was very different from him at the moment. They really don't believe that she grew up in the countryside.

Tang Xi did not expect Xiao Yao to stand up and speak up for him. He secretly thanked Xiao Yao and broke the deadlock with a smile. "Hey, I'm only influenced by you. I can't be left behind by my brothers who are all very good, right?"

Xiao Yao's face shone with a smile. At that time, the appetizer was served. Tang Xi took a fork and started eating. "Eat, the salmon look fresh."

Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing exchanged glances and saw the same look in each other's eyes.

Xiao Yao's eyes were fixed on Tang Xi.

Hardly any time had passed since Tang Xi said what he was doing and he wanted to bite his tongue. 'Tang Xi, watch your tongue! Watch your god tongue!! Don't you know what to say and not what to say? They already suspected you. Why aren't you careful?!'

But what can he do? Now he could only lower his head and continue eating. He did not dare look them in the eyes. Otherwise, he would be fucked ...

Just as the atmosphere seemed to be about to condense, a voice broke the ice, "Brother, are you here for dinner?" Xiao Jinning's soft voice came from above.

Tang Xi bit the salmon and stuffed a piece of avocado into her mouth. How surprising! Why did he always meet Xiao Jinning…

Isn't he a famous A-lister? Didn't he earn millions from every job? Why would he have time to visit here?

Xiao Yao, like Tang Xi, concentrated on his food without paying attention to Xiao Jinning.

Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa did not like Xiao Jinning because of Tang Xi. Xiao Sa asked with a snort, "What do you mean? You can come here, but we're not?"

Tang Xi silently gave a thumbs up to Xiao Sa.

The smile on Xiao Jinning's face froze. She wanted to leave, but did not want to leave in shame, so she turned her gaze to Tang Xi who had buried her head in her plate and continued eating. He could only tell that this person had a nice complexion of exposed parts of his body, and he felt this person gave him a familiar feeling. When something appeared in his mind, he frowned and asked, "Is this Rourou ..."

Fortunately, Xiao Sa was quick to respond. He immediately replied in French, "Really? With pleasure."

Xiao Jinning's face relaxed upon hearing this conversation. She smiled gently and said, "So you had dinner with Sa's friend. I won't bother you then. Chengyu was waiting for me there. I have to go now."

Tang Xi turned to look at Xiao Jinning and curled her lips, saying, "Why am I meeting her all the time?"

"My dear sister, you said it was a coincidence that you knew French food well, but how are you going to explain your French?" Xiao Jing looked at Tang Xi with a thin smile and narrowed her eyes. "Who are you?"

Tang Xi was too often suspected by them today, so she was no longer nervous about being interrogated by Xiao Jing. Today, all dishes are served. He enjoyed his meal, glanced at Xiao Jing and smiled. "French what? I was just babbling. Can you understand what I just said?”

Xiao Jing looked at Tang Xi's eyes and translated what she said earlier word for word, "Oh my God, Xiao, the French food here is delicious. I have not been to Paris for three years. Thank you so much for bringing me here. The food here reminds me of the taste of my hometown.”

Tang Xi grinned and her eyes gleamed in excitement as she said, "I found I have a talent for language! I just rattled something, and it was French! I'm very smart."

"Don't try to change the subject." Xiao Jing looked at Tang Xi coldly. "Who are you? You are not Xiao Rou!"

"Yes!" Tang Xi put down her knife and fork, and looked at Jing Xiao very seriously. "The former Xiao Rou is dead. He died when he was chased out by Lin Ru. The current Xiao Rou was a newly born person!"

"You!"

"Sa, if I still live in the Xiao Family like a child from that mountain range, do you think I can survive?" Tang Xi looked at Xiao Jing seriously as she continued, "The answer is no! Since my parents picked the foster child and threw me into your family, I knew that if I didn't work hard, I would be left out again sooner or later. Every word I say today is from the bottom of my heart. I swear I will make Lin Ru and Xiao Jinning regret what they have done to me!"

Xiao Jing was silent. The girl in front of him was so dazzling that she could not take her eyes off.

Xiao Yao, who had been eating with his head bowed, finished the last piece of steak on his plate, took a sip of red wine and wiped his mouth. He then took out a plate in front of Tang Xi, cut the steak on it for her and put it back down, "Eat while it's still warm."

Tang Xi smiled at Xiao Yao and said thank you.

Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing still wanted to ask him something, but they were stopped by Xiao Yao with cold gazes, they could only take out a knife and fork and start eating.

After the three of them finished eating, Xiao Yao turned around and sat on the sofa in a different position. He then looked at Tang Xi, who was sitting next to him, and asked her, "What did Xiao Jinning do to you? "

Tang Xi tilted her head and looked into Xiao Yao's eyes, and a touch of sadness flashed across her eyes. He closed his eyes sharply. When he opened his eyes again, the sadness there had disappeared. He smiled and said flatly, "He put his necklace in my room not to kick me out, but to kill me. Know ye? I was hit by a car as soon as I got out of their house. She came up to me step by step, telling me that she was my parents' daughter and stepping on my neck. If someone else comes a little late, I will be trampled to death by him.”
