Strike Back, Proud Goddess!

Tang Xi smiled, and took a look at the exasperated Chu Ling and strode out of Chu Ling’s office. The unhappy things that were lingering in her mind were now gone after spending some time with Chu Ling in the office. Tang Xi shook her head and said to herself, “Tang Xi, it seems that you really need to learn to design better.”

Tang Xi walked out the office building and saw a familiar car. She smiled and walked towards it. Qiao Liang opened the door and climbed out, then he naturally took Tang Xi’s hand. Tang Xi asked him with a smile. “Why are you here? Didn’t I ask Little Six not to tell you?”

Qiao Liang smiled. “I don’t want you to stay with Chu Ling alone, so I came to pick you up. You have a class tomorrow so I’ll take you home. Don’t think too much when you get home. Go to bed early.”

Tang Xi looked at Qiao Liang in surprise, and the latter asked her to get in the car. When Qiao Liang also got in the car, she asked, “You know?”

Qiao Liang Looked at her. “Do you think I won’t know about this?”

Tang Xi smiled and said a bit apologetically, “In fact, you don’t have to be so protective of me. I am not a clay doll that will easily break. You’re being too protective of me by keeping track of my whereabouts.”

“I don’t want anything bad to happen to you.” Qiao Liang reached out to grab Tang Xi’s hand, and pursed his lips as he gazed at her. “You know, I can’t stand the very idea anymore.”

Tang Xi fell silent. It seemed that every time the two talked about this topic, they would fall silent in the end. Alright… she was now as fragile as a clay doll and she shouldn’t blame Qiao Liang for being caring towards her. Tang Xi nodded. “Don’t worry, but I’d like to ask you for a favor. Can you help me find my mother’s biological parents? Please help me investigate it.”

Qiao Liang gazed deeply at Tang Xi. She pursed her lips, looked helplessly at Qiao Liang and sighed. “You know I can’t just ignore her. She’s my mother, and now that I’ve known what happened to her, it’s my duty to help her find her real parents, isn’t it?”

Qiao Liang looked at Tang Xi. It had been quite a while before he smiled. “You refused to acknowledge them but take Xiao Jing and his family as your family, but now you’re trying to help Lin Ru find her parents?”

Tang Xi pursed her lips as she said, “That’s because there was Xiao Jinning between us before. And they wronged Xiao Rou before, so I certainly wouldn’t acknowledge them, but now they have known they were wrong and have apologized to me. I’m not so cold-blooded as to give them the cold shoulder.” With that, Tang Xi paused and then smiled. “By the way, will you still love me if I were really that kind of girl?”

Qiao Liang glared at Tang Xi and she laughed and leaned against Qiao Liang, saying cutely, “Come on! Please help me!”

Qiao Liang gently pushed her away and she leaned against him again. Qiao Liang laughed. “Alright, I’ll have my men to investigate it, but I am not promising that I will surely find them, because decades have passed. You know, it was a time when technology was underdeveloped and it will be hard to find any evidence.”

Tang Xi nodded. “Just investigate it. Do what you can.”

When Tang Xi came back home, it was already very late and the others had already gone to bed. She crept up to her room, and turned on her computer to watch her previous design videos after washing herself. She went to sleep after watching for an hour…

The Capital.

In the Empire Garden, in the study of Tang Zhenhua, Tang Zhenhua was reading the files in his hand with a frown. After a while, he threw the files to the ground and looked at Butler Tang as he said coldly, “I had thought this Qiao Liang is a person who values affections. But I didn’t expect he actually gave Xixi’s belongings to another woman!”

Butler Tang was also very angry. He said indignantly, “He asked us not to try to find Miss again, and I had thought he didn’t want to bother Miss anymore, but I didn’t expect…” Butler Tang narrowed his eyes and looked at the photo on the ground as he said angrily, “I didn’t expect he had been seeing another woman! I’ve found out that this woman is General Yang’s granddaughter, a foster granddaughter. Master, look…”

Tang Zhenhua coughed and stood up, saying coldly, “In this case, let’s make the girl know what kind of man she has fallen for!”

“Master, what’s your plan?”

Tang Zhenhua stood up. “Prepare an airplane. Let’s go to City A. I’d like to see how Qiao Liang will face that little girl in front of me!”

“Okay, I’ll prepare an early flight to City A tomorrow morning.”

…

Tang Xi got up as usual, but today she didn’t do yoga, but gave Lin Ru a massage first, she then ate breakfast and went to school. Lin Ru asked Xiao Hongyi to take her to school, but Tang Xi refused. “You and Father didn’t talk for a long time because you couldn’t talk. Now you two can have a good talk. I’ll ask the driver to send me to school.”

When Tang Xi came out of the gate, Little Six had already been waiting for her. Little Six greeted her and opened the car door for her. Tang Xi said, “Don’t go to pick me up this afternoon. I’ve called Aunt Qiao. I’m going to take an important exam this afternoon, and the exam won’t end until 9 o’clock at night.”

As the school made the exception to allow her to take this examination, unlike other exams, she had to finish it at night. Upon hearing her words, Little Six didn’t say anything but nodded. Tang Xi looked at the scenery along the way, and cracked a smile. It had been two months and she had finally taken a step forward.

Now her company had been started, and she would soon get a high school diploma…

Thinking of her high school diploma, Tang Xi had the impulse to give 008 a good beating. What was in its mind?! How could it give her a junior high school diploma? Thanks to 008, she had to study with teenagers in a high school…

When she arrived at the school, she walked in holding her head high. “Oh, finally…” She raised her chin and smiled, but just then she froze when she saw a figure. She stared at the person who was walking towards her step by step and couldn’t move at all…

Was she dreaming? Why was Grandpa here?

Tang Zhenhua looked at this beautiful girl and felt so familiar with her, but he didn’t understand why he had such a feeling towards this stranger girl. Soon he realized the girl in front of him was his granddaughter’s romantic rival, so he scowled. Little Six looked at Tang Zhenhua and immediately felt the hostile aura of this old man. He hastened to dodge aside and took out his cell phone…

Tang Xi moved her lips but tears ran out of her eyes. Tang Zhenhua was about to speak but found this girl cried. He frowned, stared at Tang Xi and asked coldly, “Why are you crying?”
