“Dad, I was wrong. I was wrong. I don’t want to go to jail. You gotta help me!” Peng Yu rushed up and held the middle-aged man’s hand, begging, “I don’t want to go to jail…”

“Stop it!” The middle-aged man shook off her hand and coldly said, “Just go beg Miss Xiao to forgive you, and your sister. Without the money your sister earned we can’t even make ends meet!”

Peng Yu relaxed her hand and withdrew by two steps. She stared at the man in disgust and sneered. “In fact, what you want is not to save me but to keep yourself safe, right? You don’t want to be implicated by me, so you force me to apologize to that woman, right?!”

“I wouldn’t have to worry at all if you hadn’t done those things!” The man took a glance at Peng Yu vexatiously and said, “Let me make it clear, if you don’t go to apologize to her, you’re no longer my daughter!” Then he walked out.

The woman who remained silent looked at Peng Yu, sighed and came up to take her hand, saying in a low voice, “Your father is right. Just do what he tells you to. Otherwise, we will all suffer.”

Peng Yu stared at the woman resentfully, suddenly pushed her away and ran into her own room.

…

After the wound was dressed, Tang Xi went to get an X-ray. As she expected, her foot fractured, so she would be absent from school for some time again.

Qiao Liang sent Tang Xi home, made some soup for her and fed her too.

Tang Xi was lying on the sofa and reading emails. She replied to an email from Chu Ling and began to browse the new posts in the Microblog. Seeing the new most searched hashtag, she sat up and turned her eyes to Qiao Liang. “Will you sue Peng Yu?” Although she wanted to teach her a lesson, she didn’t think about suing her.

Qiao Liang nodded. “I prefer to nip any potential danger in the bud. Besides…” Qiao Liang looked back at her and continued, “She is a ‘potential’ danger.”

Seeing Tang Xi seem to not approve of his behavior, he frowned. “We’ll handle this. You don’t have to worry about it. Xiao Yan and I will solve this matter. No worry.”

Tang Xi shrugged. “Okay, then I’ll leave this matter to you.”

Qiao Liang smiled and handed her a bowl of bone soup. “Come on, have some soup.”

…

Tang Xi stayed at home in boredom for two days, doing nothing all day long. Being carried upstairs and downstairs by her brothers, she didn’t even have to walk.

Xiao Yan moved to this villa on the day that she was injured, claiming that he was worried about Xiao Rou and he didn’t believe Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa could take good care of her. Their parents were glad that he could help take care of Tang Xi. They had planned to take Tang Xi to the Xiao Family’s mansion, but Tang Xi said it was not convenient for her because she still had to deal with her business. After making sure that the Xiao brothers took very good care of their sister, the parents gave up on the idea and went back to the mansion.

Two days later, Xiao Yao who was on a mission came back, so now there were four people taking care of Tang Xi. However, Qiao Liang was not happy. His relationship with Xiao Rou was still a secret, so he could only visit Tang Xi from time to time and could hardly stay with her alone.

Five days later, Tang Xi got the news that Qin Xinying came back to China.

“Are you going to the capital?” Hearing Tang Xi’s words, Xiao Yao who was on vacation and staying at home all day long frowned. “You haven’t fully recovered. And the stitches in your wound haven’t been taken out. Do you think Qiao Liang will allow you to go to the capital?”

“I’ll ask him to go with me.” Tang Xi smiled. “Then he won’t object.”

Xiao Yao gazed deeply at Tang Xi and finally nodded. “Ask about his opinion. If he says yes, you can go.”

Tang Xi nodded and pretended not to see the love in his eyes, asking, “How about you, Yao? Since you’re on vacation, why don’t you go out for fun?”

“I just want to take a good rest. I like staying at home.” Xiao Yao stood up and looked at her. “What do you want for lunch?”

“Qiao Liang will take me out for lunch.” Tang Xi chuckled happily and shook her cell phone. “I sent him a message just now. He will take me out for lunch and I will tell him about the trip to the capital.”

Xiao Yao nodded. “Okay.” Then he turned to go upstairs.

Looking at his back, Tang Xi frowned and suddenly shouted, “Yao!”

Xiao Yao stopped his steps and looked back at her. “What’s up?”

Tang Xi smiled. “I just want to ask you when you will find a girlfriend.”

Xiao Yao paused and smiled. “You naughty girl.” Then he turned to go upstairs but a figure suddenly popped up in his mind…

In the spacious first-class cabin, she rested her chin on her hand and smiled brightly at him. “What a small world! We happened to take the same flight.”

He didn’t tell her that he purposely booked a ticket on that flight, to give himself a chance, and give her a chance.

“Thank you for last night.” He said to her with a smile.

“I was happy too. I was honored to attend a dinner party with you.” She smiled. “I hope I can be your companion again next time.”

He was surprised to hear these words from her. For a while, he was at a loss of how to answer her and then he said, “Now I owe you one for last night.”

“Then remember to pay me back. I don’t like you owing me anything!” The smile on her face disappeared.

Knowing he said something wrong, he could only nod in chagrin. “Okay.”

“Treat me to a meal some other day. Then you won’t owe me anything.” She said, covered herself with the blanket and closed her eyes, not looking at him.

She didn’t say another word to him before she got off the plane.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yao shook his head with a smile. He took out his cell phone and opened up the chat window with He Wanyi in WeChat. How long had he been He Wanyi’s WeChat friend?

The time seemed to be long, but… they never chatted.

His finger slid on the screen for quite a while but he didn’t send any message to her in the end. He put away his cell phone, looked back at Tang Xi who was busy chatting with Qiao Liang on her cell phone, and asked her, “What kind of sister-in-law do you want?”
