Chapter 58: Met Qiao Yuxin Again
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
He Wanning shook his head and said, “Of course not. You will definitely bring me hundreds of times of more earnings. Trust me and trust your ability.” After going to that party, He Wanning had finally stopped blushing when talking with Tang Xi.
Tang Xi smiled and signed her name on the contract. Suddenly, something seemed to occur to her and she said to He Wanning, “My stage name will be Tang Xiao, or you can use TX instead. You can also call me Tangtang or Xiaoxiao. This way, I believe that few people will be able to find out my real identity.”
Last night she had used the all-purpose skill gifted by 008 to hack the data network within five minutes and falsify an identity for Tang Xiao. Of course, she had only left brief information about Tang Xiao, including a name and some virtual information. All the other important information about her such as residence was not available. With this, Xiao Jinning would not be able to find her through Tang Xiao.
He Wanning said he understood, and Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa also thought it was a good idea for Tang Xi to use a stage name.
He Wanning escorted the three into the elevator himself. Xiao Jing called Gu Yun and asked him to pick up Tang Xi in the hall, so that she wouldn’t need to go to the underground parking lot. Tang Xi told them not to pick her up at night and said that she would go home herself.
She thought that she should buy a car and get a driving license after receiving the endorsement fee. She used to have a driving license and even a racing driving license, but Xiao Rou didn’t, so she had to get one before she drove on road.
Xiao Jing nodded. “If Gu Yun sends you home, it’ll be fine. If not, just call me and I will go to pick you up.”

Tang Xi grunted in assent. Gu Yun’s car stopped in front of her. After getting in the car, she took off her hat and mask and said thank you to Gu Yun. Then she asked about Qiao Yuxin’s physical condition. Gu Yun briefly told her about her current condition. Tang Xi frowned as she asked, “She still can’t stand up?”
Hearing Tang Xi’s question, Gu Yun took a look at Tang Xi from the rearview mirror and saw that she looked truly concerned. He put aside his inner doubts and replied, “Yes. Madam has been living in the sanatorium for several years, but that didn’t help, so President simply took Madam home.”
Tang Xi nodded, wondering whether she could ask 008 to help Aunt Qiao. Wasn’t 008 omnipotent? Perhaps he could heal Aunt Qiao’s leg. At least she wouldn’t feel so guilty then.
After learning the truth, she felt so guilty that she didn’t stay with him in the toughest times of his life.
After more than an hour had passed, the car stopped at a villa. Tang Xi got out and looked around the villa that was well afforested, and had a golf course and a small garden. It seemed that Qiao Liang was really attentive to his mom.
As Gu Yun got off the car and took Tang Xi into the villa, he said, “Madam has preferred a quiet place for the last two years, so President bought this plot of land and built a villa on it for Madam to recuperate. When Madam said she missed you, President was quite glad.”
Tang Xi smiled and didn’t speak. She had held a good relationship with many of the sanatorium’s patients while she was there, but she had a better relationship with Qiao Yuxin. Tang Xi hadn’t known that she was Qiao Liang’s mother. At that time, she thought Qiao Liang followed her father’s surname. It turned out that her father married into his mother’s family, and he followed his mother’s surname.

At this thought, Tang Xi felt sorry for Qiao Liang again. When he found out that his father had betrayed his mother and him, he must have been very sad, and after that he heard about his illness and came to break up with her. Tang Xi suddenly felt her nose sour and she nearly burst into tears.
Looking up at the beautiful sky of City A’s suburb, Tang Xi took a deep breath and decided to give him double the compensation and make him happy every day from now on.
At that moment, the gate of the villa was opened and a servant pushed Qiao Yuxin out in a wheelchair. Seeing Tang Xi at first glance, Qiao Yuxin smiled and waved to Tang Xi, saying, “Rourou, come on, come here and let me see you.”
Tang Xi walked up to her with a smile and leaned over to hug her. “Aunt Qiao, I’m sorry. I should have come to see you earlier.”
Qiao Yuxin said with a laugh, “What are you talking about? I’m the one troubling you.” Then she stared at Tang Xi with a smile as she continued, “Rourou, I haven’t seen you for more than a month and you’ve become even prettier.”
In fact, she had discovered this point when she was still in the sanatorium. At first, the girl was thin and black; however, her face would have changed every time they met. She just didn’t expect her to have changed so much only after a month, but her temperament remained the same and was still so clean, elegant and noble.
Tang Xi smiled shyly, took the wheelchair from the servant and pushed Qiao Yuxin to take a walk on the golf course. “My second brother said that because I now live with them, I have to become prettier to keep up with my family members who are all good looking.”
Tang Xi jokingly finished by saying, “So now I’m trying to keep up with them and not let myself fall behind.”
Amused by her words, Qiao Yuxin glanced behind her at Tang Xi and said with a smile, “Your family members are all good-looking indeed. Your mother was the most beautiful one among us when we were still girls.”
She had read the news about Tang Xi returning to the Xiao Family and felt sorry for her, but she was surprised that this girl could still be so cheerful, generous and elegant in such a living environment. That was really rare.
Tang Xi’s eyes lit up. “Aunt Qiao, do you know my mother?”
“Yes.” Qiao Yuxin smiled. “We are both from the Top Four Families. Your mother had a powerful background, but she was very nice and had a good relationship with me; however, I rarely socialized in recent years because of my leg.”
At this point, a shadow flashed across Qiao Yuxin’s eyes. “I have lost contact with many people.”
Tang Xi smiled and said, “Aunt Qiao, you can walk around a lot in the future. When your leg is healed, you can travel to all the places you haven’t been to before. I have a great dream: to travel around the world. When the time comes, I’ll take you along.”
Qiao Yuxin gave a laugh at that, perhaps affected by Tang Xi’s optimism and cheerfulness, but then she sighed and said, “My leg may never get better in my life.”
Tang Xi pursed her lips and said cheerfully, “Who said that? Aunt Qiao, you know I’m a lucky dog. I’ll come to accompany you and give you a massage every week. Maybe one day a miracle will happen.”
Qiao Yuxin thought Tang Xi was trying to comfort her, so she nodded with a smile. “Okay, then I’ll wait for you to bring me a miracle.”
Knowing that Qiao Yuxin hadn’t taken her words seriously, Tang Xi didn’t continue to speak further, but she became more determined to cure Qiao Yuxin. In any case, she wanted to have a try at it.
