Chapter 25: My Name Is Xiao Rou
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
Lying on the grass, Tang Xi looked at He Wanning doubtfully. Finally, she smiled and said, “My name is Xiao Rou.”
Xiao Jing remained upset until He Wanning had long gone. He scowled at Tang Xi, who looked carefree, and pursed his lips as he said, “We have one hundred ways to deal with Xiao Jinning. You don’t have to do this!”
Tang Xi smiled at hearing this. She looked at Xiao Jing, put her hands behind her head and raised her eyebrows. “Jing, what could be the biggest blow to a person?”
Xiao Jing frowned and answered, “Making her lose everything she has.”
“Yes, but…” Tang Xi had a wicked gleam in her eyes as she continued, “but I won’t make her lose everything at once. I want her to see an unknown newbie take a job worth three million Yuan from her at the most brilliant peak of her life, and she won’t even know her name!”
“If she sees your face in the TV commercial, she will realize everything.” Xiao Jing still thought Tang Xi had been too impulsive. A word from him would make Xiao Jinning’s competitors rush up to take away her jobs.
Tang Xi shook her head. “I won’t show my face. Wouldn’t it be stupid to show my face?”
Hearing this, Xiao Sa understood what Tang Xi wanted to do. His eyes sparkled and he gave Tang Xia a thumbs up as he said, “You’re great, my sister!” It was literally a declaration of war on Xiao Jinning. Look, I, a newbie who didn’t even show my face, seckilled you! Don’t you feel ashamed?
It would be a big SECKILL!
Apparently, Xiao Yao had also figured out what Tang Xi meant. He looked at Tang Xi fondly, reached out his hand to rub at her hair and said in a low voice, “But you can’t let it affect your studies.”

Tang Xi said proudly, “Yao, have some faith in me. I’m a genius. There is nothing in the world that I can’t achieve. I merely kept a low profile before.”
Xiao Jing greatly agreed with Tang Xi. Her face alone was a miracle. During the last less than two months, her face had been changing almost daily, becoming more and more beautiful!
Tang Xi had noticed that the three of them were giving her strange looks, but she didn’t know what was wrong. She asked with raised eyebrows, “Why do you keep staring at my face?”
The corner of Xiao Jing’s eyes twitched. Didn’t she know her face had changed again?
Xiao Sa didn’t know how to explain to her either. Would she become scared after finding that her own face had changed?
Xiao Yao said, “We haven’t taken a picture together yet. It’s beautiful here. Let’s take a picture together.”
Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa both gave him a thumbs up in their hearts. “Yao, you’re the best!”
Xiao Jing said, “I’ll take it!” He then took out his cell phone, opened the camera function and pointed the screen at Tang Xi.
The corner of Tang Xi’s eyes twitched when she saw herself in the camera. She smirked and said nonchalantly, “Oh, why do I suddenly look prettier? Is it because of the wine? Yes, it must be the wine. I think I should drink more wine in the future, because it can make me prettier!”
When had it happened? Had her face changed before everyone’s eyes? 008, why didn’t you remind me before it happened!
Xiao Jing didn’t say anything at Tang Xi’s awkward explanation, but instead took two more pictures while she wasn’t paying attention, before then taking a group picture. Looking at the pictures, Xiao Jing giggled and said, “It seems that we should take a picture together every day from now on, so that we can witness how Rourou gradually becomes a gorgeous beauty.”

“Haha, Jing, don’t make fun of me.” Tang Xi laughed embarrassedly.
“Would you like go back to see Grandpa?” Xiao Yao suddenly asked. “I remember that on the day before yesterday when you visited him, you said you would come see him after signing up for your school.”
“Ah!” Tang Xi gaped, a guilty look on her face. “I forgot…”
She had been so excited today that she forgot about it.
Xiao Sa nodded. “It’s time for us to see Grandpa.” Otherwise, if they went to see Grandpa two days later, he would not be able to recognize Xiao Rou, who had changed her face faster than a Sichuan opera actor.
Eager to see Grandpa Xiao, Tang Xi beckoned at the Xiao brothers to get into the car and they headed for the Xiao Family’s mansion.
There were only the old steward and Grandpa Xiao living in the Xiao Family’s mansion. Seeing that the siblings had come back to see him, Grandpa Xiao was quite happy. “It’s really rare for you brothers to come back. It’s thanks to my dear granddaughter.” Grandpa Xiao turned his eyes to Tang Xi’s face, and then he gaped as his eyes lit up. “My baby girl became prettier again! I haven’t seen you for two days, and you have become more beautiful again. It seems that your mom and dad treat you very well. That’s good, that’s good.”
Tang Xi didn’t know how to explain about her face. She really wanted to ask 008 why he didn’t do it secretly. Her Face Point was simply soaring. More importantly, she was looking more and more like her former self. She was afraid that her identity might cause trouble for the Xiao Family!
Tang Xi ran up to Grandpa Xiao and squatted down beside him, smiling as she said, “Grandpa, what are you talking about? I inherited good genes from you, just like my handsome brothers who also have good genes, and I’ve become more and more beautiful because all my good luck came back to me since I returned home.”
At this time, the steward entered to inform them that Xiao Yan had also come back. Tang Xi frowned. She didn’t have much of an impression of her biological elder brother, or to be exact, she had no impression of him.
Upon hearing this news, the Xiao brothers also subconsciously frowned. They all looked at Tang Xi, who smiled at them before continuing to tell Grandpa Xiao how they had French food in a French restaurant today and about her bet with Xiao Sa.
Grandpa Xiao kept on praising Tang Xi that she was a good, aspiring girl, just like how he was when he was young. Tang Xi tried to amuse Grandpa Xiao and made him laugh happily. Just then, Xiao Yan came in. He came to a pause upon seeing the girl who was squatting down on the ground.
Even if the girl were to wear the most ordinary clothes, she could draw the attention of all others in an instant.
Xiao Jing didn’t like anyone staring at his sister in that manner, even if that person was her biological brother. He took a step forward to block Xiao Yan’s gaze and said with a smile, “Yan, you came back to see Grandpa too?”
Xiao Yan frowned, took back his gaze and nodded. “Yes, what a coincidence.”
At this time, Tang Xi, who had been squatting on the ground, stood up. She turned to look at Xiao Yan and smiled at him. “Hi, Cousin.”
