Chapter 504: Dusty Memory
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
“But air crash…” Yang Jingxian would watch TV when she was idle, and Tang Xi was that kind of a person who would often appear on TV, no matter whether if it was in the entertainment news, or business news. This young businesswoman who had controlled the whole Empire Group at such a young age was often reported.
As she was missing for several months, she caused a great uproar when she appeared in the public eye again. How could such a girl…
“Mommy, have you noticed that whenever Tang Xi showed up, I was absent?” Tang Xi looked at the shocked Yang Jingxian and smiled. “And whenever I appeared, she disappeared. For example, now I’m in City A, and Tang Xi won’t appear.”
“So you are really…” Yang Jingxian paused. She suddenly thought that Tang Xi agreed to promote Rourou’s new company, but they didn’t know each other. Why did she help Rourou? Besides… there were too many coincidences…
“Was that air crash designed by someone?” Yang Jingxian chose to believe Tang Xi because she knew Tang Xi would never lie to her.
Hearing her mention that air crash, Tang Xi scowled. She had thought that Qin Xinying set her up because she was jealous of her, but now it seemed that it was the matter of destiny. No matter what Qin Luo did to her grandparents, what Qin Yue did to them, what Qin Luo and Lin Ruozhi did to her aunt, or what Xiao Jinning did to Xiao Rou, the two families were doomed to be enemies!
They could only be mortal enemies to each other forever.
She certainly wouldn’t just forget and forgive. She would end the feud between the two families with her own hands!

“I have found out some leads.” Tang Xi pursed her lips. “That air crash was designed by some people. I won’t let any of them off, especially the chief plotter.”
Yang Jingxian gave Tang Xi a hug and said gently, “Did you often have nightmares when you just woke up?”
Tang Xi paused and looked at Yang Jingxian. Yang Jingxian’s eyes turned red. “Sorry, it’s my fault. If I had known this earlier, I would have gone to the sanatorium and taken care of you despite their objections.”
Tang Xi felt warmth in her heart. She also hugged Yang Jingxian and smiled. “It’s alright. That’s all over now. I have more meaningful things to do in the future.”
Although she came back to life for revenge, she wouldn’t let her new life be occupied with hatred. She would become the national goddess that 008 wanted her to be, and live a wonderful life.
The two of them wiped away their tears and went downstairs. Seeing them come back down, Xiao Yao who had been sitting on the chair outside the ward and waiting for them raised his eyebrows and stood up. As soon as Yang Jingxian saw her eldest son, she quickly walked up to him and said coldly, “Promise me to protect your sister well! I won’t let you off if you fail to protect her!”
Xiao Yao cast a questioning look at Tang Xi and the latter shrugged. “Mommy knows.”
Xiao Yao stood up and looked at his mother. “I just…”
“No excuses. If you don’t help Rourou avenge herself, you will no longer be my son!” Yang Jingxian said, pushed open the door of the ward and walked in, refusing to hear her son’s explanation.
She surely loved her son, but Rourou was so pitiful, let alone… Rourou had saved Xiao Yao’s life!

Xiao Yao turned his eyes to Tang Xi who pursed her lips. She knew she had to explain to Yao, so she hurriedly came up to explain to him what had happened. Xiao Yao looked at Tang Xi and frowned. “Why didn’t you tell me this earlier?”
Tang Xi pursed her lips. “I didn’t want you to be worried about me.”
“Then what if you have an accident?” Xiao Yao looked at Tang Xi in disapproval. “Now do you know what you did wrong?”
Tang Xi nodded. “Yes, I won’t just suffer alone and reject your help. But Yao, I want to solve my problems on my own.”
Xiao Yao had wanted to blame Tang Xi, but after hearing her words, he swallowed back what he wanted to say. He looked at Tang Xi helplessly and sighed. “I never know what you girls are thinking. As that saying goes, a woman’s heart is a deep ocean of secrets.”
Tang Xi’s mind was full of the matters of the Qin Family and the Tang Family, so she didn’t notice what Xiao Yao said. She pursed her lips. “Yao, please keep an eye on the Qin Family. I’m going to see my mom.”
When she came in, Xiao Yan and Xiao Hongyi both knew what happened from Tang Zhenhua. Both of them were in shock. Xiao Yan never expected that his mother was the lost daughter of the president of the Empire Group. Did it mean he was… the grandson of President Tang?!
Xiao Hongyi also felt as if he was dreaming. He never imagined that the poor girl he insisted on marrying despite his mother’s strong objection was the daughter of the president of the Empire Group! If Ah Ru hadn’t been stolen by Tao Yan, his mother wouldn’t have objected to their marriage and even threatened to disown him.
No… if Ah Ru wasn’t stolen by Tao Yan, she wouldn’t have worked in the Xiao’s Group, nor would she meet him…
Just when they were lost in their thoughts, Lin Ru woke up. She looked at Tang Zhenhua’s wrinkled face and tears came down her face. The dusty memory began to pop up in her mind. Feeling her gaze, Tang Zhenhua rushed up to her and called to her tearfully. “Yaya.”
“Mom… Mom was covered with blood.” Lin Ru said hoarsely. “Dad, Mom died protecting me.”
She could only remember that she was lying in her mother’s arms and Mom’s blood dyed her face red. And then she lost consciousness. When she woke up, she remembered nothing, and that woman became her mother.
Hearing Lin Ru’s words, Tang Xi burst into tears. She was her aunt!
Tang Xi couldn’t help coming up to take Tang Zhenhua’s hand and her eyes were red. Tang Zhenhua took a look at Tang Xi and nodded at her. They could know what each other was thinking from the other party’s eyes.

If you stepped out of line, you died, end of story. Even if the rich were still under their control, their lives were still better than the poor. The poorest lives held a much worse fate. The men were to be put to work as slaves, whether that meant serving a specific vampire, or just building their castles, they were slaves.

Those who were lucky enough to live through that, we're to be slaughtered for their blood at age twenty-five in an act to make sure that our population would stay steady. I was born into this world.

This reborn personal trainer is going to whip the royal army into shape!
Olympics Sports Trainer, Meg Thompson, had never even heard of an otome game, so when she died in Japan during the Tokyo Games and was reincarnated into one in error as the minor character, Briar Bell, she might have unintentionally messed just about everything up for the true heroine...Whether it was her befriending villainesses, or hanging out with capture targets, from the moment she was born she was setting the plot careening off course.

Playing the role of 'heroine' was another reincarnated woman named Sakura, a hardcore Japanese otaku who had previously been hit by a truck in a tale as old as time.Whether it is the fault of Sakura's social ineptness (as Briar would claim) or from her own interventions, humanity is now heading towards total decimation. Seems like she'll have to brush off her coaching skills and get this royal army into fighting form.
