Chapter 296: Let You Reunite in Hell
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
Tang Xi stared blankly at Lin Ru. She was still pale and didn’t look well, but looked much nicer than before when she was always haughty and supercilious. Maybe this was who Lin Ru really was. She was actually a gentle woman. Tang Xi looked at Lin Ru and asked, “Do you still feel uncomfortable?”
Lin Ru shook her head with a smile. “No, although I still can’t walk quickly, I think I’ll be fine in two or three days.”
Tang Xi nodded with a smile. “That’s great.” She then thought of something and said, “But you’ll still have to receive my acupuncture treatment. Today I’ll give you the last acupuncture of the first round of therapy.”
…
After Tang Xi finished the acupuncture for Lin Ru, Lin Ru suddenly said, “I want to go to the jail to visit Tao Yan, Lin Jiao and… Xiao Jinning.”
Tang Xi frowned and was about to refuse, when Lin Ru said, “I know you don’t want me to be stimulated by them, but don’t worry. I’ve been prepared. I won’t be stimulated by them. Or if you are still worried about me, you can accompany me to see them. I just want to witness how they have ended up with my own eyes.”
“Jail is a dangerous place. You haven’t fully recovered. I think you’d better not go there. Let’s go there when you’re better.” Tang Xi strongly disapproved of her going there now. Although she said she would be fine, nobody knew what vicious words Tao Yan would say to her. What if she was stimulated again?!
“But I really want to ask her some questions. I had wanted to ask her these questions when I was still in the hospital. If I don’t ask them, I…”

“Okay.” Tang Xi interrupted her and nodded. “Let’s go. I’ll go with you. You can ask them what you want to ask. This’ll be good for your health.”
Lin Ru looked tenderly at Tang Xi, took her hand and said gently. “Thank you, my baby girl.”
Tang Xi smiled and went to arrange the visiting matter for Lin Ru. Xiao Hongyi and Xiao Yan wanted to accompany them to the jail, but were refused. They could only let Tang Xi and Lin Ru go themselves. Xiao Yan went back to the company and Xiao Hongyi was waiting for them at home.
When Tang Xi and Lin Ru arrived at the detention house, Tang Xi went straight to the head who soon arranged for them to visit the prisoners. Lin Ru chose to visit Tao Yan first. People wouldn’t be so mean even to their dogs. Why did Tao Yan do those terrible things to her? She pushed her down the stairs, and tried to kill her. She must ask her why.
Tang Xi pursed her lips and accompanied Lin Ru into the jail. The head showed them the way as he said to Tang Xi, “Principally, it’s not allowed for two people to visit a prisoner together. We are making an exception for you this time, so you’ll only have twenty minutes. Please finish the visit asap.”
Tang Xi thanked the head with a smile, “Thank you, Director. We’ll be quick. Please arrange for our visit to Lin Jiao…” She suddenly thought of something and asked, “By the way, are Xiao Jinning, Lin Jiao and Tao Yan locked up separately?”
The head chuckled. “Sure, our superiors have specially given us directions to lock them up separately. We won’t forget it. Don’t worry. We treat them as demanded by our superiors. The three of them are taken care of specially. You can rest assured.”

Tang Xi nodded at the head, while Lin Ru who was beside them was moving forward step by step with difficulty, her face was expressionless as if she couldn’t hear them.
In the meeting room, visitor and prisoner were separated by iron bars instead of bullet-proof glass. The conditions in the detention house were not very good, so the prisoner only had a wooden stool to sit on, although there were two round chairs for visitors. Tang Xi helped Lin Ru to sit down on a round chair and sat down on another round chair, waiting for the police to bring Tao Yan here.
Lin Ru looked very calm just as she promised Tang Xi. Even when Tao Yan walked into the meeting room, she didn’t bat an eyelid. Tang Xi took Lin Ru’s hand, trying to giving her a little strength.
Tao Yan sneered when she saw the two of them and then she sniffed. “I didn’t expect that you hadn’t died. I should have killed you properly incase you came here to laugh at me.”
Lin Ru looked up at Tao Yan when she heard her voice. Tao Yan looked much more haggard than before. There were more white hairs on her head. Her eyes were still cloudy and not as bright as before. Lin Ru looked at her, blinked and sighed, “If you hadn’t pushed me down the stairs, you would still have been the mother of a rich woman and your son-in-law would still be the president of the Xiao’s Group. What a pity…”
“Cut the crap. I’m not going to buy your bullshit! Let me guess, you came here to ask me who your biological parents are, right?” Tao Yan laughed, stared coldly at Lin Ru and said in an icy voice, “I’ll never ever tell you that. You can never meet your real parents. No matter how much you hate me, I’ll make you and your parents be separated from each other forever. In this life, you’ll always be an orphan who nobody wants!
Lin Ru gave a faint smile. “I’m listening. You don’t have to be so excited. This is not good for your health.”
Tang Xi took a surprised look at her mother. She didn’t expect she still had the courage to taunt Tao Yan. Tao Yan was caught off guard by her taunt, but soon she laughed. She looked at Lin Ru and said, “Ha, you’re getting smarter…”
“But you’re getting more stupid.” Lin Ru said coldly, “Do you know both your daughter and granddaughter are detained in this detention house? I guess you haven’t known this because we asked the head of the detention house not to let you three meet…” Maybe because she talked much, Lin Ru paused in tiredness, but then she continued, “What a scene. If the three generations of a family gather, it will be a day worthy of celebration, but for your family, the three generations are gathering in jail. What… a pity.”
“Lin Ru!” Tao Yan widened her cloudy eyes. “Set Lin Jiao free! And…”
“Who are you?” Lin Ru took a breath, took Tang Xi’s hand and stared at Tao Yan as she said coldly, “You said you would make me and my parents be separated from each other forever? I’m not that cruel, so I’ll just let you and your family reunite in hell.”
