Strike Back, Proud Goddess!

Xi Luoxian and Xiao Hongyi looked at Tang Xi in shock and asked almost simultaneously, “Wasn’t it just an accident?”

“Accident?” Tang Xi turned her eyes to the two with raised eyebrows. “How could there be so many coincidences in the world? If my guess is right, Xiao Jinning is probably the biological granddaughter of Tao Yan and Lin Ruozhi. That’s why they favor her so much.”

Still wearing that expression of shock, there was some uncertainty in Xi Luoxian’s voice as she asked, “Are you telling the truth?”

Tang Xi took a look at Xi Luoxian, and gave a cold smile. “Whether it’s true or not, we’ll know after checking it.” Then she turned her eyes to Xiao Hongyi and asked him, “Daddy, have you called the police?”

Urged by her, Xiao Hongyi took out his cellphone and called the police.

Xiao Hongli had already left by the time they went upstairs and Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing were keeping watch on Xiao Jinning and the Lin Family members in the office. When Liu Chengyu appeared, Xiao Jinning and Tao Yan looked as if they had seen their savior. Voice trembling, Xiao Jinning called out, “Chengyu…”

At the sight of Liu Chengyu, Tao Yan rushed over to him with sparkling eyes. She held his hand and said softly, “Chengyu, listen to me. Jinning is your fiancée. You promised me to treat Jinning well. Are you here to apologize to her?”

Liu Chengyu frowned as he shook off her hand and replied coldly, “I said that because I thought she was my fiancée, but now I know she is actually not.”

“She is your fiancée!” shouted Tao Yan. “How could you say that?! From the very start, your fiancée was only Jinning. Did you forget?”

Brows furrowed, Liu Chengyu glanced at Tang Xi standing nearby and pursed his lips, saying, “My fiancée is the daughter of Aunt Lin, not Xiao Jinning!”

The last trace of hope in Xiao Jinning’s heart was snuffed out by his words. She over at Liu Chengyu and sneered, “You’re throwing me away like trash because now I have no useful value in your eyes, isn’t that right? Liu Chengyu, do you think Xiao Rou will be with you after treating me like this? You’re wrong. She won’t. She’ll never like you, and you’ll never be able to get her! I curse you two to never be together!”

Hearing her curse, Tang Xi smiled and silently said to herself, “Thanks for the curse! It’ll surely come true!”

However… she hadn’t come up here to hear them cursing each other.

Tang Xi stepped forward to take the two paternity test reports from Xi Luoxian’s hands, then casually walked to the sofa and sat down. Afterward, she pressed the reports onto the table, looked over at Xiao Jing and asked, “Jing, you called the police when I was injured, right?”

Xiao Jing nodded and smiled softly at Tang Xi. “Yes. The police will come directly to the hospital.”

When Xiao Jinning heard this, her face abruptly changed. She glared fiercely at Tang Xi and growled, “Xiao Rou, how can you do this to me?!”

“Why can’t I…?” Tang Xi glanced casually at Xiao Jinning before resting her eyes on Tao Yan and Lin Ruozhi. She gave a sneer and said coldly, “We don’t want to argue with lunatics, and I don’t think I can communicate with people like you, so we can only turn to the police for help.”

Tao Yan also looked viciously at Tang Xi. Pointing at Tang Xi, she swore, “You shameless b*tch. Your mom was raised by me. What’s the big deal about me teaching her a lesson? She deserved it! How dare you call the police? Believe it or not, I’ll sue you…”

“That’s enough. You want to sue me? Anytime!” Tang Xi interrupted, standing up and staring at them as she continued coldly, “But you’d better study some law before suing me, or else keep your mouth shut. Even if you don’t feel ashamed of yourself, I’m ashamed of you!”

Just then, a group of people pushed the door of the room open and entered—they were policemen. One of them went over to Xiao Jinning and said solemnly, “Ms. Xiao Jinning, you are under suspect of being involved in the case of an attempted mayhem that occurred today. Please come with us.”

Xiao Jinning hurried to hide behind Tao Yan. “You don’t have any evidence. Why should I go with you?!”

A policeman took out a warrant, stared at Xiao Jinning and said coldly, “Please cooperate with us, or else we’ll arrest you by force!”

With that, he instructed two other policemen to arrest Xiao Jinning. Seeing that the latter was about to be captured, Tao Yan rushed over and fought with the policemen, crying out, “What are you doing? Let go of her! Don’t you know who she is? She’s the big star Xiao Jinning. You can’t arrest her!”

The policemen who showed the warrant stared coldly at her and warned, “Ma’am, I advise you not to get in our way, or else we will detain you for the obstruction of official duties.”

Watching the farce play out while standing at the side, Tang Xi raised an eyebrow and said, “Sir, you can arrest her. We’re going to sue her for intentional injury. She pushed my mom downstairs today, and she’s still in the intensive care unit right now. Just now, the old lady was making a scene here, claiming that my mom was raised by her, so she could beat or even kill my mom at will.”

Tang Xi described what had happened with some exaggeration; she had no sympathy for bad eggs, so she wouldn’t care whether Tao Yan could stand this treatment or not.

Tao Yan screamed loudly when she heard her words. “I’m her mom. Can’t I even hit her? I brought her up and I can’t even touch her now?!”

“Touch her? You almost killed her!” Tang Xi retorted in such a cold manner that Tao Yan didn’t know how to refute her.

Tang Xi looked at the confused police officer and said seriously, “Sir, I’m going to sue Tao Yan and Lin Ruozhi for human trafficking. My mother isn’t their child. They must have something to do with a missing child case forty years ago.”

Hearing this, Lin Ruozhi shook his head in a flurry and denied it. “No, we didn’t sell any child…”

Just then, the door of the office opened again and an older policeman came in. Seeing him, the police officer who came first stood erect and greeted him. “Director General Long, why are you here?”

Director General Long cast a look at the police officer before walking up to Xiao Jing and saying with a smile, “Mr. Xiao Jing. I have heard that a case of attempted mayhem occurred here, is that right?”
