Chapter 56: Ran Into Xiao Jinning
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
Tang Xi knew she couldn’t dissuade Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa, so she could only acquiesce in their decision. Xiao Hongli and Yang Jingxian hardly interfered in their affairs. Xiao Hongli was free this weekend, so they planned to go to a hot spring on the nearby mountains.
After breakfast, Tang Xi waited for the two brothers to pack up and go out together. At this time, a car parked at the gate of the Xiao Family’s villa. Seeing Tang Xi and her brothers walk out, the driver got off to greet them. Xiao Jing walked to him and asked, “Gu Yun, what are you doing here?”
Gu Yun greeted Xiao Jing and said, “President asked me to come here today and pick up Miss Xiao to accompany Madam.”
Knowing his purpose, Tang Xi hurriedly said, “Well, I’m going to OLS Company. Tell me the address, and I’ll go there myself.”
Xiao Jing frowned; he had forgotten about this. To his surprise, Qiao Liang had really meant his words back then. Even though he was abroad, he asked Gu Yun to send Rourou to accompany his mother.
“It doesn’t matter,” said Gu Yun. “My task today is to send you to Madam, so I can drive you to OLS, and then to her.”
Tang Xi looked at Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing. She had no problem with this, but she didn’t know how they thought of it.
Xiao Sa shrugged. “Anyway, we can’t let people know you’re going to OLS, so let Gu Yun send us there.”
Gu Yun: “…” Why can’t you let people know? Are you trying to hide something?
Of course, he could only think this in his heart.
As she looked at the luxury car in front of her, Tang Xi felt deep admiration for her second brother’s ability to lie through his teeth.
After this little episode, Tang Xi reached OLS Company. She had herself all wrapped up as soon as she got off the car, and she intended to go upstairs from the underground parking lot. He Wanning had told her the floor number, so she just needed to go up.

Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa had planned to follow her, but Xiao Sa suddenly stopped Xiao Jing and pointed to a car. Xiao Jing raised his eyes only to see Xiao Jinning get off a nanny van accompanied by her assistant and agent.
When Tang Xi found that Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing were not following her, she was about to walk over to them. Suddenly, however, she saw them walking to the other side, and then she glimpsed Xiao Jinning, so she turned around and entered the elevator.
Upon hearing from the OLS office that He Wanning was going to work overtime in the company today, Xiao Jinning had wanted to come here to talk with him and try to win back the contract. Not having expected to run into Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing, Xiao Jinning frowned, but soon she put a smile on her face and said hello to them, “Sa, Jing, what are you doing here?”
Xiao Jing shrugged. Looking at the dressed-up Xiao Jinning, he keenly felt her to be an eye-sore. He said carelessly, “I’m wandering around. What about you? I heard they cancelled the contract with you? Did you come here to beg their advertising director not to do it?”
Xiao Jinning frowned and her voice became cold as she asked, “Jing, what do you mean?”
Few people knew about this, especially those of Shengda Entertainment. Unless OLS Company had leaked the information, others wouldn’t know about it, but OLS Company wouldn’t do it. So who had told Xiao Jing about this?
Looking at Xiao Jinning’s confused face, Xiao Sa sneered, “Walls have ears. Even if you don’t tell anyone, it doesn’t mean others won’t tell anyone. Besides, what are you trying to hide? We all know what you’re up to! Don’t be so small-minded. Don’t you always emphasize you’re from a high-class family? But your behaviors are not high-class at all!”
Xiao Jinning turned pale and she stared up at Xiao Sa. “Xiao Sa!”

Xiao Sa shrugged. “By the way, I advise you not to go asking to be snubbed. I heard that they’ve signed a contract with the new endorser, and He Wanning signed with that person himself. They say he is very satisfied with her. Go back home, butter up your mother. Don’t let her abandon you.”
“Xiao Sa!” Xiao Jinning looked at Xiao Sa with disgust and said in a gloomy tone, “Do you have to talk to me like this? What’s good about that woman? Why do you try to embarrass me just to make her happy?” With that, her eyes turned red. “And she won’t even be grateful!”
Xiao Jing sneered, “We don’t care whether she is grateful or not. We simply don’t like you.”
Yao Na didn’t expect that Xiao Jinning had such a bad relationship with her cousins. She tried to stop Xiao Jinning from quarreling with them, but when she found Xiao Jinning looking so embarrassed, she immediately rebuked them to show her loyalty, “Mr. Xiao Sa, Mr. Xiao Jing. You two are Jinning’s cousins. How can you be so mean to her? You’re hurting her.”
Xiao Jing sneered, “Who are you? Don’t cut in while I’m talking!”
“You!” Yao Na grew angry. “I’m Jinning’s agent. I have the right to speak on her behalf.”
Xiao Jing still wanted to say something, but Xiao Sa suddenly stopped him and pointed to a person standing behind him who was probably a staff of OLS company. Seeing they had noticed him, the man hurriedly came up and said with a smile, “Mr. Xiao Sa, Mr. Xiao Jing, glad to meet you. Please go upstairs. Our Director He is waiting for you.”
Upon hearing his words, Xiao Jinning turned pale. No wonder Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa were so sure that her contract had been cancelled. It turned out that they were friends with He Wanning!
She rushed up, stood in the way of Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa and asked coldly, “Was it you?”
Xiao Jing stopped, turned to look at Xiao Jinning and asked with a faint smile, “What?”
“Did you make He Wanning cancel the contract with me to take revenge? You wanted to take revenge on me…” Xiao Jinning paused before continuing, “so you made He Wanning cancel the contract and choose a new model!”
“Haha,” Xiao Sa sneered. “Who do you think you are!?”
Xiao Jing chuckled, “What makes you think that you’re so important?”
‘Are you so important that we have to put in so much effort just to give you a hard time? Did we need to do anything to take the endorsement from you? Rourou simply went to get some air by the river, and the advertiser decided to terminate the contract with you and begged Rourou to be the new endorser. Did we need to do anything? You are just overestimating yourself, okay?’
Of course, Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa would never say these words to Xiao Jinning.
The man waiting at the side obviously recognized Xiao Jinning. A storm broke out in his heart. He had never expected the relationship of the Xiao Family’s younger generation to be so terrible. Didn’t it look harmonious before? Sure enough, the family relationship of rich people was complicated.
Xiao Jinning stomped her feet and coldly stared at Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing as she said, “Do you think you can get away with it after taking away my endorsement? If my mom finds out that Xiao Rou asked you to ruin my endorsement, what do you think she will think?”
