When Tang Xi woke up the next morning, Qiao Liang was still there. She yawned blearily, smiled at him and rubbed her eyes, asking, “You’re still here?”

Qiao Liang grunted in response and gave her a good morning kiss before going to the bathroom to fetch water for her to wash her face. He said, “I’ll be going to the capital today and then to North Europe. It may take me several days. Stay in the hospital and don’t get yourself hurt again, understand?” He nagged as if he were Tang Xi’s father.

Tang Xi nodded and looked at him. “Why are you going to North Europe? For a market survey? I remember Qiao’s International Group doesn’t have any businesses in North Europe?” When Grandpa asked her to manage the company, she had taken advantage of her position to check the regions where Qiao’s International Group had businesses. If Qiao Liang appeared in a region, then she would not go there.

Empire Group had a branch in North Europe, but she remembered that Qiao’s International Group didn’t.

Qiao Liang frowned slightly as Tang Xi asked this question and then he answered in a low voice, “A trivial matter. I’ll tell you when I get back, and if everything goes well, I’ll introduce you to two of my friends.”

Tang Xi raised an eyebrow. Qiao Liang’s friends? It turned out that he had other friends besides those silver-spoon kids in City A that grew up with him?

“What friends?” Tang Xi was very curious. Qiao Liang’s friends? Did he mean the fair-weather type friends?

Qiao Liang wrung out the towel, cleaned Tang Xi’s face with it and answered, “Damon-and-Pythias friends. I was sent abroad around the age of five and only came back to stay home for about ten days in summer and winter vacations every year. I came back home for high school when I was 15 years old or so.” With that, Qiao Liang deeply looked at Tang Xi and said jokingly, “So, you should thank God that I came back. Otherwise, where could you have found a man who spoils you like me?”

“Okay, okay,” Tang Xi replied to Qiao Liang with a smile and then said, “Just go to see my grandpa. Please check his body carefully. I’m worried about him.”

Hearing this, Qiao Liang immediately nodded sternly. “You should also take care of yourself. I don’t want to hear that you got hurt again, okay?”

Tang Xi nodded. Qiao Liang tidied up her ward again before calling Little Five and leaving the room.

On her side, Qin Xinying was sleeping when she was awakened by her cellphone and she suddenly sat up. Perhaps because she had a nightmare, or the weather was too hot, her forehead was full of sweat. She stroked her chest and attempted to calm down before reaching for the phone to answer it, while turning over to get up to drink water in the kitchen.

“Have you found it?” Qin Xinying put her cellphone on her shoulder and fixed it with her cheek while pouring water for herself. The other side said something. She held the phone with one hand and drank water with the other, her face gloomy. After quite a while, she snorted and sneered, “Okay, forget it. I don’t want to waste any time to get that kind of trash out of jail. She just can’t do anything right!”

She hung up the phone, looking angry. She truly hadn’t expected that Xiao Rou to be so sophisticated as to sweep Qiao Liang off his feet in such a short period of time and put that small-time actress in jail so easily. It seemed that she had to be careful when dealing with this Xiao Rou in the future.

As she was thinking, a vicious gleam flickered across Qin Xinying’s eyes. Xiao Rou… I’ll definitely let you know what you will suffer trying to steal Qiao Liang from me. I’ll definitely make you remember this lesson for the rest of your life!

Tang Xi, who was still lying in the hospital bed, sneezed and rubbed her nose. She complained to Yang Jingxian who was peeling an apple for her, “Mom, someone must be saying something bad about me behind my back!”

Yang Jingxian looked at the pouting Tang Xi, smiled and handed her the apple. “Who would speak ill of you? You must have caught a cold because you kicked your quilt off last night.”

Tang Xi curled her lips and changed the subject. “By the way, Mom, did you call Mr. He? What did he say?”

Yang Jingxian’s expression became strange. She sighed and said, “Mr. He and the monitor of your class will come to see you this afternoon. Get ready for it.”

Tang Xi: “…” Why did she have to face these kinds of things after becoming Xiao Rou? Why were the head teacher and monitor coming to visit her? God, she hated handling these kinds of matters…

…

On his side, Qiao Liang arrived at the international airport of the capital with Little Five, where there had been a group of people waiting for them outside. As Qiao Liang was well-dressed and looked even more handsome and attractive than the currently most popular young male stars, his appearance caused a stir in the airport. Some fans, who had been waiting for their idols in the airport, began to take photos of Qiao Liang with their cellphones.

Qiao Liang scowled and coldly glanced at those fans before taking a look at Little Five, who pretended not to notice. “Young Master,” he began, “we failed to apply for a flight route due to air traffic control, so we have to take a passenger plane.”

Qiao Liang gave him a cold look and Little Five immediately raised his arms in surrender. “I’m wrong, I’m wrong. I’m going to ask them to delete the photos right away.”

Just then, a group of people came over to surround Qiao Liang in the middle and escorted him out of the airport, while another group of people followed Little Five to stop the fans and ask them to delete the photos.

Seeing the tall men in black suits, the fans were a little scared, but still didn’t want to delete the photos. “We took the photos with our own cellphones. Why should we delete them?”

“Yes, maybe he’s handsome, but so what? Does he really think he’s a big star?!” A fan held her phone, staring up at Little Five provocatively. “I don’t want to delete them. Are you going to hit me?”

Little Five was deeply annoyed by these unreasonable fans. He frowned and replied, “It’s no problem at all for you to wait for your idol here and take his photos, but you can’t take that man’s photos. Delete them, now!”

“Why should I delete them? Is it illegal for me to take his photos?” a fan said, and the other fans immediately echoed, “Yeah, yeah, we’re not breaking the law!”

“You’re breaking the law!” Little Five squinted, looked down at his watch and frowned again. If he didn’t solve this problem in five minutes, Young Master would be angry!

Although Young Master’s photos would appear in various financial media in the first two years, the information about him in these media had been deleted by him. Now, even major newspapers couldn’t find a photo of him! How dare these people take his photos blatantly!
