Chapter 488: The Best Arrangement
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
Hearing Lin Ruozhi’s words, Lin Ru felt that it was too stupid of her to feel sympathetic for him just now. This man didn’t deserve her care at all. She had shown them her greatest mercy by not torturing or killing them after she had known the truth!
Tang Xi, Xiao Yan and Xiao Hongyi also looked angry. This Lin Ruozhi was really evil. He didn’t feel guilty for what he had done at all and even had the nerve to come here…
“Stop!” Lin Ru rushed up, grabbed Lin Ruozhi’s collar and pulled it backward. Lin Ruozhi stumbled and almost fell over, but Lin Ru stopped him from falling over. Lin Ruozhi was startled by Lin Ru’s motion. He looked at Lin Ru in panic and sighed. “Ah Ru, don’t force me. I will never disobey your mother’s willingness. Without her permission, I won’t tell you anything.”
“Haha… You will never disobey her willingness?” Lin Ru sneered, relaxed her grip on Lin Ruozhi and coldly stared at him. “So you destroyed my life because of that bitch. You just destroyed an innocent person’s life because of her?!”
“Lin Ru! She is your mother!” Lin Ruozhi was angered when he heard Lin Ru called Tao Yan bitch.
Seeing he was so desperate to defend Tao Yan, Lin Ru sneered. “She is not my mother. She is a bitch, a…”
Lin Ruozhi was about to slap Lin Ru who didn’t dodge at all but stared at Lin Ruozhi. “If you dare touch me, I will make them suffer in jail. Since they’ve stolen my life, I will make them enjoy the life I will arrange for them in jail!” When she saw Lin Ruozhi freeze, her face grew darker. “You can have a try!”

“Ah Ru, you’d better not go too far. If you push your mother too hard, she won’t keep her oath anymore. Then…”
“Haha, will we be afraid of a crazy woman?” Tang Xi came up and stared at Lin Ruozhi. She took Lin Ru’s arm, raised her chin and narrowed her eyes. “You just don’t feel guilty at all, do you? You even swapped me with Xiao Jinning and threw me into deep mountains. We’ll never let you off! And you can just do whatever you want. Let’s see who will win in the end!”
Being supported by Tang Xi, Lin Ru looked at Tang Xi thankfully. Tang Xi smiled at her and whispered to her, “Mother, don’t waste time with this kind of a person. He won’t listen to you. Let the law punish them. Since Lin Ruozhi said Tao Yan was so powerful, let’s see what they are capable of!”
Lin Ru’s eyes became red. Xiao Hongyi didn’t want to see his dear wife so sad, so he came up to hug her and gently comforted her. “You still have us. We’re your family.”
Lin Ru nodded. Xiao Hongyi took her into the house, but Tang Xi was still standing there and staring at Lin Ruozhi. Xiao Yan beckoned her to leave with him. “Let’s go.”
Tang Xi shook her head. She got some clues from what Lin Ruozhi said just now. It seemed that this Tao Yan had a special background. She didn’t use her relations to get out of jail just because of the oath she made… She felt that Lin Ruozhi’s words had leaked some important messages!
But damn it, she couldn’t work out any information from these words.
“Lin Ruozhi, let’s see whether you or us win this battle. I believe God prefers us to evil people like you guys.”

Tang Xi said, took a look at Xiao Yan and turned to walk in. Xiao Yan pursed his lips and said, “You’ve changed a lot since the first time I met you.”
Tang Xi raised her eyebrows and looked at Xiao Yan. The latter smiled and said, “The first time you met me, you were scared when I talked to you, so I just glanced at you and left for a business trip. But when I went home from my business trip, I heard that you were driven out of your home because you stole that woman’s stuff and had a car accident. The second time I saw you, you came back home from the sanatorium and came to see Grandpa who had just come back from abroad, and that day you chose Uncle as your father.”
Tang Xi smiled and asked, “That was because father and mother had chosen Xiao Jinning.”
She had been prepared to be abandoned by Xiao Hongyi and Lin Ru, but to her surprise, Xiao Hongli and Yang Jingxian chose her…
So she was very grateful for them and felt happy for Xiao Rou. After all, there were still some people who cared about her…
Xiao Yan frowned when he recalled the past. He stopped, turned around, looked at Tang Xi and said seriously, “Rourou, I’m sorry for not standing with you back then.”
Tang Xi raised her eyebrows in surprise, and Xiao Yan continued, “I’m a selfish person. If Xiao Jinning hadn’t done those terrible things, if she hadn’t hurt you, if it weren’t for those troubles she had caused, I wouldn’t have stood up to stop her. I have an aversion to trouble, so I never objected to Mother’s decisions. But now I do regret that I was so selfish and didn’t do anything to help you.” He said and smiled guiltily. “To be honest, every time I think of the past, I feel so ashamed that I don’t know how to face you.”
Tang Xi pursed her lips and said with a smile, “You didn’t know me back then, so it’s understandable that you didn’t go against your parents for a stranger. I can understand you.”
“Don’t you think I’m too selfish?” Xiao Yan looked at her in surprise.
Tang Xi shook her head. “No, I was to blame. I was too weak at that time. If I… Sure, if it not for those times of suffering, I wouldn’t become who I am. So let the past be the past. We should just move along.”
If she hadn’t been reincarnated into Xiao Rou’s body and met Qiao Liang’s mother in the sanatorium, she wouldn’t have met Qiao Liang again…
So this was just the best arrangement.
Xiao Yan gazed at Tang Xi and nodded with a smile. “Yes, your coming to our family is the best arrangement God has made.”
“Perhaps.” Tang Xi took Xiao Yan’s hand and walked in.

Artemis
"Let them go, Dante." I whip my head to see a small boy standing the clearing with blonde hair and a green cloak hanging from shoulders. He isn't very tall however he holds his stance well. He doesn't seem to be more than Cassandra's age. Maybe 12 at most. I abruptly turn my head back hearing the man holding a sword to my throat chuckling with a sinister grin. "Oh, poor boy, what are you go to do about it?" The yellow teeth gleam as he begins stalking towards the boy who does not look the least bit fazed. I look around at the other men who are following the leader. I pull Cassandra tighter to my back as I take small steps back. I keep my eye trained on the men but also fear for the naive boy. "Do you really want to test me Dante?" He asks raising a single eyebrow. For a minute the men stop their movements. I see their hesitation for fear... Fear of what? I take the moment to stick Cassandra behind a nearby tree. She crouches down while I pull my sword out from its place. "How do you know my name?" The scoundrel raises his sword challenging towards the boy before taking a final step towards him. Then the unexpected happens. The young boy chuckles so darkly. It sounded almost... demonic. All the men instinctively raise their swords. "Oh Dante, I didn't know your name... but you know someone dear to me." "Spit it out boy!" The once grinning man is now looking around frantically. I continue my eyes scanning the small boy. He looks directly me and gives me a small nod before saying one word that caused all hell to breaks loose. "Artemis." Artemis is not an ordinary girl. She grew up in the wilderness after being shunned due to unique abilities and her different physical attributes. Blessed with an ability that scared others, she roams the wild with only her guarded one. That is until she stumbles into a situation that brings her in front of a prince.
