Tang Xi looked at the three who were shocked, and a touch of sarcasm flashed across her eyes, "Do you think I can remain harmless and vulnerable after all that?"

Xiao Jing was silent. The people who showed up that day were them. They also accompanied Lin Ru to send Xiao Rou to the hospital and hear the doctor's diagnosis to her. The doctor said that his aorta was seriously injured, so he was dying, but it never occurred to them that he was injured by Xiao Jinning.

Xiao Sa felt suffocated. He jumped to his feet and said, "I'll ask Xiao Jinning!"

"Stop!" Shouted Xiao Yao, "What are you going to ask him?"

"I'll ask why he did it!" Xiao Sa looked annoyed, "Are you going to let him get away with it?"

“Do you have any proof?” Xiao Yao looked at Xiao Sa.

"I ..." Xiao Sa looked at Tang Xi and said flatly, "Rouorou is the proof. With Rourou here, we have strong evidence!"

"Huh." Xiao Yao sneered and shouted furiously, "Sit down!"

Seeing Yao get angry, Xiao Jing hurriedly pulled Xiao Sa back to her seat. Xiao Yao glanced at him before turning his gaze to Tang Xi, who did not care about Xiao Sa's actions, then he asked, "Aren't you going to tell Lin Ru about this?"

Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa were already used to the way Xiao Yao called Lin Ru, he always called people by their names when they were not around.

Tang Xi had no feelings for Lin Ru, so she didn't feel there was anything wrong with the way Xiao Yao called out to her. A touch of sarcasm flashed across his eyes as he asked, "Do you think he'll believe me?" The real Xiao Rou will not die. Xiao Rou had said many times that she had not seen the necklace, but Lin Ru insisted that Xiao Rou had a sticky finger because she had grown up in the countryside. He just believes everything. Xiao Jinning told him and thought Xiao Rou stole the necklace.

Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa were sitting there sadly. Of course, they knew Aunt Lin would not trust Xiao Rou, because Lin Ru did not consider her his daughter at all. There was only her foster daughter who won an award for him in her heart.

Xiao Yao asked with a frown, "Why are you hiding your potential? If your mother sees your potential, she'll accept you."

“But I don't want to accept it.” Tang Xi turned around and straightened up. She then looked at Xiao Yao and said very seriously, “I will not accept a mother who has no affection but only fame and benefits in her mind.”

“He has affection for Xiao Jinning,” Xiao Sa said.

Tang Xi nodded, "Yes. I don't want a mother who kicks her own daughter for foster children, so brothers, accept me, reward me."

He couldn't go back in time to change Xiao Rou's situation when he first returned to the Xiao Family, but he wanted to make everyone see Xiao Rou differently from now on, making those who left Xiao Rou regret it, and making them those who killed him get the punishment they deserve.

He would not let Xiao Jinning get away with what he did. Although only when Xiao Rou died could she enter Xiao Rou's body and extend her life, she had no right to forgive Xiao Rou's killer for her!

"Who said we didn't accept you?" Xiao Jing said a little awkwardly, "We just don't understand why you are so different from what we know about you. Don't think too much."

Tang Xi replied with a nod, "I know."

Seeing the tension finally subside a little, Xiao Sa picked up the glass on the table and laughed, "Haha. Since we've cleared the air, let's toast."

Xiao Yao picked up his glass and clinked the glass with Tang Xi. "Tell me if you have a problem. Now you are no longer alone, but a member of our family."

Tang Xi's eyes turned red and she felt a lump in her throat. He clenched his mouth and nodded, saying, “I understand.” His voice became hoarse.

Xiao Sa took a sip of wine and said with a snort, "I always wonder why I can get along well with Xiao Yan, she said, but did not like Xiao Jinning since childhood even though they were both children of the Xiao Family. Now I know why!"

Xiao Jing gestured for him to continue drinking, "You better drink more and talk less... No, don't drink too much. You'll talk too much when you're drunk."

Tang Xi placed her chin in her hand and said with a smile, "I really like my life now, having dinner with you guys at the restaurant, talking to you guys and drinking wine together. I never expected such a life before."

“Tell us about your past?” Xiao Jing looked at Tang Xi, and her heart ached from pitying her.

Tang Xi recalled her past life, which was very boring. She was a typical girl from a wealthy family before her grandfather fell ill. Housekeepers and waiters take very good care of her, both at home and at school. He just needs to eat going to school and playing. However, Grandfather fell ill, and he had to learn how to run the Imperial Group while accompanying Grandfather, and flew all over the world to inspect the properties of the Imperial Group. Then her boyfriend broke up with her because she was so busy that she ignored him. Two years later, Grandpa finally recovered, but he died.

Looking back on his past life, he discovers that he really didn't do anything meaningful.

He didn't even say 'I love you' to the man.

He really regretted it.

There was no chance now, because he knew he didn't love her anymore.

Tang Xi smiled darkly, gulped down the wine in her glass and looked at the Xiao brothers with blurry eyes. "Brothers, you can investigate my past, and then you'll know all about it. I don't want to remember painful memories."

Xiao Yao replied with a nod, "Don't think about it if you don't want to. Since you are no longer called Yao Rou, you have no connection whatsoever with that family."

The surname of Xiao Jinning's biological father was Yao, so Xiao Rou was called Yao Rou.

Tang Xi got up with a smile and said, "I'm going to the toilet."

He staggered to his feet. Perhaps because he thought of Grandpa and the man, or because he was bad at drinking, he felt dizzy even though he only drank two glasses of wine. Seeing him stagger, Xiao Jing, who was sitting opposite him, hurriedly stood up and propped him up with her hands, "Let me take you there."

Tang Xi gave her a smile, stretched out her finger and shook her, "No, I can handle it. Keep drinking."

With that, he turned around and walked towards the toilet. Xiao Jing stared anxiously at Tang Xi's receding figure. "Does he know where the toilet is? Is he going to the wrong toilet?"

Xiao Yao glanced at him and thought for a moment before saying, "I don't think so."
