Strike Back, Proud Goddess!

Qin Xinying immediately turned pale. Tang Xi almost pitied her. It really hurt when the man she loved said “you don’t deserve me” to her, but Qin Xinying asked for this. If she could give up this stupid dream earlier, and stop doing all those dirty things, she might let her off for the sake of their old friendship, but if she didn’t stop, then don’t blame her for being relentless.

Qin Xinying didn’t speak anymore. At this time, the flight took off, Qiao Liang moved up the hand rail between his chair and Tang Xi’s, and beckoned Tang Xi to lean against him and take a nap. Tang Xi smiled at Qiao Liang, leaned against his chest and was about to sleep, when she suddenly felt a vicious glare shot at her. She frowned, opened her eyes and looked at Qin Xinying. Sure enough, Qin Xinying was staring at her with a vicious look. Tang Xi raised her eyebrows, asking, “I’m so beautiful, right? Are you jealous of me?”

“Oh, please don’t be jealous. You can keep staring at me like this, but your face still won’t change. And I’ll become more and more beautiful.” Tang Xi said, casually touched her own face and asked Qiao Liang, “Don’t you think I’ve become even prettier recently?”.

Qiao Liang nodded. Tang Xi gave a satisfied smile and turned to look at Qin Xinying whose face grew even darker. Tang Xi said, “Miss Qin, please don’t look at me with this look. A woman can only be beautiful with a good heart. So how can you become beautiful since your heart has become pitch-black? Honey, do you agree with me?” She turned to Qiao Liang.

Qiao Liang took a look at Tang Xi, rubbed at her hair lovingly and nodded again. Qin Xinying was so angry that she almost vomited blood. Even the stewardess eavesdropping at the side felt sorry for Qin Xinying. Why did this young lady fall for a man who already had a girlfriend? See? She was being humiliated by the man’s girlfriend, and the man she loved. Why was she so cheap as to try to steal another woman’s man?

Qin Xinying’s face remained dark all the way to City A. Tang Xi, however, was in a good mood after teaching Qin Xinying a good lesson. She closed her eyes and fell asleep soon.

Seeing Tang Xi fall asleep, Qiao Liang looked up at Qin Xinying and coldly said, “Miss Qin, if you don’t want anything bad to happen to your father’s company, behave yourself. You know, Xiao Rou is the most important person to me. If you dare try to sow discord between us again, I will make you regret your actions no matter if Xiao Rou believes you or not. As for Tang Xi, I advise you and your father to stay away from her. I heard you father was kidnapped last night? You’d better pray he isn’t caught by me. Otherwise, I won’t let him off.”

Qin Xinying looked at Qiao Liang in shock, and the latter snorted. “I don’t think it was just a coincidence that you ran into Grandpa Tang last time he went to City A. If I find out you have anyone tracking Grandpa Tang or Tang Xi again, you know what I’ll do.”

Tears came out of Qin Xinying’s eyes. She looked at Qiao Liang aggrievedly and asked hoarsely, “Why are you doing this to me? Why don’t you love me? Why do you love Tang Xi, a self-willed ignorant woman, and then Xiao Rou, a country bumpkin who grew up in the mountains, but never turn your eyes to me, a person who has been accompanying you silently?”

Qiao Liang sneered, looked at Qin Xinying and asked coldly, “You yourself know whether you love me, or just love my money and power.” Qiao Liang looked down at Tang Xi who was sleeping sound in his arms, and said gently, “Only she loves me for who I am, and my heart will only beat for her alone.”

“You’ve never tried. How do you know I don’t love you but your money and power?”

Qiao Liang snorted, took a cold glanced at Qin Xinying and sneered. “Do you deserve my offer of a chance?”

Qin Xinying turned pale again. It turned out that she didn’t even deserve him giving her a chance. She just didn’t deserve it!

“Then she deserves it?” Qin Xinying pointed at Tang Xi who was lying in Qiao Liang’s arms. She shouted so loudly that Tang Xi was awakened. Startled by Qin Xinying’s scream, she opened her eyes, asking, “What happened?”

Qiao Liang shook his head at Tang Xi, and gently patted her back as if lulling a kid to sleep, then he looked up at Qin Xinying and scowled. His cold eyes almost froze the air. He squinted at Qin Xinying and said sternly, “You don’t deserve to mention her name! At least Xiao Rou knows not to speak so loudly in an occasion like this!”

Qin Xinying gave a disdainful chuckle. “You may love her very much now, but soon you’ll find she is nothing but a country bumpkin. She just deserves to be a useless pet. One day, you’ll regret dismissing me.”

Qiao Liang didn’t look at Qin Xinying again, but kept gently patting Tang Xi on her back, trying to make her fall asleep again. Tang Xi had been working hard these days and didn’t sleep well. Besides, she was in poor health now, so she should sleep as much as she could…

Tang Xi was still sleeping sound when the airplane had arrived at its destination. Little Six took a look at Tang Xi, and hurriedly took their suitcases off the plane. Qin Xinying looked at Qiao Liang who was guarding Tang Xi attentively, and snorted. “Then what about you? Are you going to waste all the passengers’ time merely for a woman?”

Qiao Liang took a cold look at Qin Xinying and looked up at the stewardess, and the latter soon said with a smile, “Mr. Qiao, the car you need has been prepared. You can leave the airplane now. Thank you for taking this flight. It’s my pleasure to serve you.” With that, she led Qiao Liang to leave the airplane.

Qiao Liang gently carried Tang Xi up. The latter felt it and leaned more tightly against Qiao Liang’s chest, asking sleepily, “Have we arrived yet?”

Qiao Liang said gently, “Sleep. I’ve prepared a car.”

Watching Qiao Liang walk away carrying Tang Xi, Qin Xinying stomped her feet in frustration and followed him out of the airplane. When she saw the luxury SUV waiting there, she trembled in anger. She stomped again and turned to walk towards the shuttle bus.

Qiao Liang got into the car still cradling Tang Xi, she had just woken up and said, “Send me home.”

Qiao Liang frowned. “Let’s go to my home. It’s too late today. I’ll send you straight to school tomorrow morning.”

Tang Xi shook her head. “It’s too troublesome. My textbooks are at home. It’s more convenient for me to go home.”

“Miss Xiao, do you mean this?” Little Five who had returned to City A this morning handed a schoolbag to Tang Xi with a fawning smile. “I’ve prepared it for you. You can just go straight to your school tomorrow morning, and your files have been prepared for you too. Congratulations for becoming a senior student in high school.”

Little Six snorted. “What an apple polisher!”
