Chapter 27: I Don’t Want A Brother-In-Law

Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee

When Tang Xi got up early the next morning, Yang Jingxian brought her the school uniform of City A’s First High School. Tang Xi looked at the cool school uniform and the corner of her eye twitched. How could she have forgotten that high school students were supposed to wear school uniforms...

She had been too naïve...

Saying thank you to Yang Jingxian, Tang Xi went back to her room and changed her clothes in the cloakroom. Looking at herself in the mirror, she naughtily blew a loud whistle. “Girl, you look good!”

At the sight of Tang Xi coming down the stairs in school uniform, Xiao Jing gaped and forgot to bite at the deep-fried dough stick in his hand. Oh my gosh! Was this girl really a human being? Why did she look so beautiful in this uniform? She was even many times more beautiful than the goddess he loved when he was still a student!

Holding milk in his mouth, Xiao Sa forgot to swallow and almost choked. He took a plaintive look at Tang Xi and said, “Girl, why do you change your face every day?”

His eyes were going to be blinded by her shining face!

Yang Jingxian also felt doubtful about her daughter’s face. Why was it changing so frequently? If she hadn’t seen her every day, she would have wondered if her daughter had received plastic surgery.

Xiao Yao left early because of work.

Xiao Hongli, who was the calmest, was quite glad to see Xiao Rou’s new look. Look, he picked up a treasure! His baby girl was so beautiful, so changeable and so awesome. He couldn’t wait to see his brother’s reaction when he found out!

‘Haha, you kept showing off your daughter all day long, but now I’m going to do it too!’

He imagined taking his baby girl to his brother’s party and saying triumphantly to his brother, “Brother, while none of our daughters were born by us, everyone can see that my daughter is hundreds of times better than yours. I’m sorry but your taste doesn’t seem good enough,” and then his brother would turn purple in anger. He couldn’t help laughing upon picturing the scene.

“My darling daughter, come and have breakfast. Daddy will take you to class.” Xiao Hongli felt for the first time that it must be a very happy thing to take one’s child to school.

“Dad, why didn’t you take us to school before?” Xiao Jing immediately complained.

Tang Xi had been accustomed to the way the family members got along with each other. She walked over to Yang Jingxian, sat down for breakfast and asked her, “Mom, do I look good in school uniform?”

“You look great. It’s like it was tailored for you.” Yang Jingxian was speaking the truth. Though the school uniform was worth only several hundred Yuan, it looked like a custom-made dress on Tang Xi. No one would think it cheap.

Tang Xi smiled. “I’ll go to school by myself.”

“No!” The four of them opposed with one voice.

Tang Xi looked at the four innocently, asking, “Why?”

“You can’t protect yourself,” Xiao Sa said.

Yang Jingxian said, “You’re too attractive.”

Xiao Jing said, “If you walk along the road, you might have a car accident.”

“There’s nothing wrong with what they say,” Xiao Hongli said. “Most importantly, you don’t know the way.”

Tang Xi blinked and had to admit Xiao Hongli was right; she really didn’t know how to get to school. In the end, the one to be sending Tang Xi to school was not Xiao Jing, Xiao Sa or Xiao Hongli, but Yang Jingxian. She said, “I’m free, so I’ll send Rourou to shool. And I’ll be worried about her if I don’t send her to school myself.”

At this time, Xiao Hongli’s secretary called and told him that a government chief wanted to meet him at 9:00, so he no longer insisted on the matter. Xiao Jing also had something urgent to attend to, so he left as well.

Tang Xi thus began her first day of high school.

Xiao Jing was a little absent-minded at work today. Even his boss noticed something wrong with him. At this moment, Xiao Jing was lying on the sofa in the president’s office. Qiao Liang, who had just read an email, looked up at Xiao Jing and said coldly, “If you can’t concentrate your mind on work, just go home to sleep.”

“Have you finished your work?” Xiao Jing looked up lazily at Qiao Liang.

Qiao Liang hummed in response and then said in a low voice, “I may go to the Pacific Ocean tomorrow.”

Without looking at him, Xiao Jing said, “OK, but didn’t you just come back yesterday? Are you going there again tomorrow?”

Qiao Liang fell silent, and Xiao Jing looked up at him. He found that only a month or two had passed, yet the man had changed much and become more reticent, seeming as if abandoned by the whole world.

“You’ve done your best.” Xiao Jing looked at Qiao Liang seriously and frowned. “Besides, that woman didn’t necessarily love you. If she really loved you, she would not have broken up with you when you proposed to break up with her and never contact you again. Why do you keep torturing yourself like this?”

“I don’t believe it.” Qiao Liang’s voice was hoarse. He looked at Xiao Jing with bloodshot eyes and his eyes were full of struggle as he said, “Everyone told me she is dead, but I don’t believe that woman could have died just like that.”

“Alas.” Xiao Jing sighed. “That’s just the way people are. You don’t cherish it until you lose it. What’s the use of going to the Pacific Ocean? I remember you said the men you sent there found nothing. What can you do even if you are there?”

“They told me they would find something the day after tomorrow.” Qiao Liang’s voice was still hoarse. “I won’t believe she is dead until I see her body with my eyes.”

Xiao Jing pursed his lips. “Maybe that woman loved you.”

Qiao Liang looked up at Xiao Qiao. Feeling uneasy under his ardent stare, Xiao Jing coughed and continued pursing his lips as he said, “The most heartless people are lovers deeply in love with each other. Because they love each other too much, they become heartless to each other. Just like you two—you loved each other too much, so you abandoned each other so ruthlessly, and didn’t even contact each other until death.”

Qiao Liang felt his heart ache sharply. Did she think this way when she died? He told her in the past that they shouldn’t contact each other anymore, even if they were going to die. Was that why she wouldn’t let him find her even though she was dead?

He had frequently showed up on TV these years because each time he did he hoped she could see him!

Was she really not aware of this?

“And you? Which woman broke your heart?” Qiao Liang changed the topic and looked at Xiao Jing as he continued, “You’ve sighed for the 320th time this morning. Were you dumped?”

Hearing this, Xiao Jing immediately complained, “I’m worried about my sister. Being too beautiful is also a trouble. I’m worried she might find me a brother-in-law as soon as she starts her school life!”

He thought that, with Xiao Rou’s gorgeous looks, she would probably bring him a brother-in-law home after school this afternoon.

He didn’t want to have a brother-in-law so early. She’d better not marry!
