Chapter 247: Sharp-Tongued Tang Xi
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
Seeing Tang Xi stunned, Qiao Yuxin smiled, looked up at Lu Guangxiong and said coldly, “If you want Ah Liang to let Hongkun Group off, you should go beg Ah Liang. I shouldn’t nor will not make decisions for him.”
Lu Guangxiong took a look at Tang Xi. The latter politely retreated to the side so as not to disturb them. Lu Guangxiong Looked at Qiao Yuxin and said, “You know how much he hates me! How can you tell me to beg him? You just want to watch me die!”
Upon hearing his words, Tang Xi smiled, walked behind Qiao Yuxin and held the handle of her wheelchair, she then said in a low voice, “Aunt, I didn’t give you a massage yesterday. Let me give you a massage today and then…”
“Little girl, who are you?” Lu Guangxiong looked at Tang Xi and narrowed his eyes. “Have I seen you before?”
Tang Xi raised her eyebrows, looked at Lu Guangxiong and said with a smile, “President Lu, you must be kidding. How could we possibly have met before? You’re such a great figure. A small potato like me wouldn’t have a chance to meet you. You must have mistaken me for someone else because I have an average face.”
The corner of Little Five’s eyes twitched and he complained in his heart, “Miss Xiao, if you’ve got an ‘average’ face, then I must be an ugly monster. How could you call your perfect face an ‘average’ face!’
But seeing Lu Guangxiong speechless, Little Five gave her a thumbs-up secretly.
Lu Guangxiong didn’t bother to talk with Tang Xi. He turned to Qiao Yuxin again and said in a low voice, “Give me three hundred million Yuan first as working cash. I’ll give you your money back as soon as my company gets better.”

Hearing Lu Guangxiong’s cheeky words, Tang Xi immediately remembered what he had done to Qiao Yuxin and Qiao Liang, and the little devil in her heart jumped out. She laughed and Lu Guangxiong frowned and stared at her. Tang Xi looked at him and gave a sarcastic smile.
Little Five silently took a step back. Lu Guangxiong squinted at Tang Xi who was laughing. Although she was stunningly beautiful, he hated this beautiful face very much when she put on this sarcastic smile on her face. Lu Guangxiong scowled and asked darkly, “Little girl, what’re you laughing at?”
Tang Xi was still laughing. “President Lu, don’t you know why I’m laughing? I’m laughing at your shamelessness. I’m an outsider and shouldn’t meddle in the dispute between you and Aunt Qiao, nor should I judge you, but now you’ve gone too far! How can you have the cheek to ask Aunt Qiao for money?”
Before Lu Guangxiong responded, Tang Xi continued to say coldly, “You hurt Qiao Liang and Aunt Qiao for another woman and tried to snatch the Qiao’s International Group away from them five years ago, but Qiao Liang was too strong and you failed. During the past five years, you kept planting spies into his company. All with the purpose to drive your son, who had driven you out of the Qiao’s,out of the board and seize the entirety Qiao’s. Unfortunately, you failed again. Now you came to ask the Qiao’s International Group to give you money to fill the huge hole of your company? Do you think everyone in the world is an idiot except you?”
Lu Guangxiong clenched his hands tightly. Tang Xi smiled and asked coldly, “What?Did I touch your sore spot? Now you have nothing to say, right? Yes, of course you have nothing to say, because there is evidence for what I have said. You’ll end up rotting in jail!”

Lu Guangxiong jumped forward, trying to grasp Tang Xi and the latter stared up at him. Little Five rushed forward, stopped him and sneered, “Mr. Lu, let me remind you if you don’t leave now, your company will definitely be doomed.”
Tang Xi smiled. “Yes, if I were you, I wouldn’t be here shamelessly demanding the people who I have hurt to help me, but would go find my previous business partners. Maybe they’ll be willing to give you a helping hand…” Tang Xi paused and continued. “But most people put their interests first today. They were willing to make money with you when you were rich, but now you’ve lost your money, I’m afraid that few people are willing to help you…”
“After all… if I were your business partner, I would be afraid that you will bite me back after I help you out, just like the snake and the farmer…” Tang Xi gave a sweet smile and said, “In any case, you did that before, which is known to the whole business circle, right?”
“You!” Lu Guangxiong’s hands shook with anger. He pointed at Tang Xi but couldn’t say anything.
Tang Xi smiled and pushed Qiao Yuxin’s wheelchair towards the villa as she said, “Aunt Qiao, let me give you a massage first, and then I’ll do acupuncture on you. I have to go home earlier today.”
Qiao Yuxin nodded with a smile. “You’re so considerate to come to give me a massage every day, Rourou. By the way, don’t call me Aunt, call me mom. I like you calling me mom.”
Tang Xi nodded, called her “Mom” and pushed the wheelchair into the villa.
Little Five almost groveled in admiration. He looked at Tang Xi’s receding figure, then at Lu Guangxiong whose face was all dark, and gave Tang Xi a hundred thumbs-up in his heart. He had never seen a person who was more sharp-tongued than her before! And she didn’t say any dirty word! She was simply awesome!
After Lu Guangxiong left with his tail between his legs, Little Five immediately called Qiao Liang and reported to him what happened here. Qiao Liang was videoconferencing with Jayce. When he heard what Little Five said, he smiled. But soon he realized that he was still in a meeting, so he hurriedly stopped smiling, covered his mouth with his fist and coughed. He then said indifferently “Okay, I know.” and hung up the phone.
On this side, Jayce smiled like a cunning fox. “Phew, don’t be shy. Tell us what makes you so happy?”
They were continuing the meeting that they didn’t finish in Qiao Liang’s office.
Qiao Liang ignored Jayce and turned to Wilson. “How are things going over there? Do I need to go there?”
Wilson frowned and said, “I’ve sent Lone Wolf there. He should be able to handle it, but if you go there, it’ll be better and I’ll be more assured.”
Qiao Liang nodded and said to Wilson, “Lu Li, if you’re free, I hope you can come to City A.”
Jayce widened his eyes. “You want Seven instead of me to go there?”
