Tang Xi instantly felt that the food was tasteless. It turned out that hearing news about him from others was more painful. Why did he so care about her?

Xiao Jing was also upset. From what he knew of Qiao Liang, he was the kind of person who wouldn’t be swayed by anything. Even when he had faced great difficulties back in the past, he managed to get through them by solely relying on himself. He hadn’t even batted his eyelid when he expelled his father out of the Qiao Family. But now he indulged himself like this just because of a woman, and he even put aside Qiao ‘s International Group, which he had risked his life to take back.

Xiao Jing picked up his fork and poked at the pasta on the plate, but he felt no appetite, so he got up, took out a few glasses and asked Tang Xi to get wine. Tang Xi happened to feel like drinking, so she immediately got up, took the best wine from the wine rack and opened it. Xiao Jing put the glasses down and Tang Xi poured wine into them. Xiao Sa picked up a glass, clinked glasses with them and took a mouthful of it. “Will Qiao Liang give up his company if it turns out the woman really died?”

“That’s impossible.” Xiao Sa took a sip of wine, put down his glass and continued eating pasta with a fork. “Qiao Liang isn’t the kind of person who can’t recover after a setback. He’ll be depressed for a short time at most and then he’ll stand on a new height again. He’ll probably break out in silence, leap ahead of Empire Group and make Qiao’s Group the number one company in Asia.”

Tang Xi smiled, picked up her glass and drained the wine. She knew that he was exactly the kind of person Xiao Sa described, but in that case, his heart would die and he would try his best to climb up to a new height. Even if he lost his health, he wouldn’t mind, and then he would probably die at a young age.

So she couldn’t let that happen. He should live in a warm world and be surrounded by love. The first half of his life was too bitter, and thus he should be tenderly loved in the second half of his life.

But what would she have to do to make him accept her?

Tell him that she had changed from Tang Xi to Xiao Rou? He wouldn’t believe it! But if she didn’t tell him this, what excuse could she use to approach him?

Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing noticed that Tang Xi was drinking in silence. Before they finished one glass, she had drunk several ones. Xiao Jing quickly held onto Tang Xi’s glass and said, “Hey, little drunkard, what’s wrong with you?”

Tang Xi was slightly drunk, but her brain was still sober. She pursed her lips and looked at them as she asked, “Why does Qiao Liang, such a powerful man, torture himself like this for a woman?”

Xiao Jing blinked and said, “He is not only torturing himself, but also courting death. The day he heard that news, he locked himself in his office for a whole day. When he came out the next day, his hands were bleeding.”

“Self-abuse,” Tang Xi said, tears coming out of her eyes, and she smiled sadly. Her eyes roamed over Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa’s faces, and she grabbed a piece of lobster meat from her plate and stuffed it into her mouth. “He asked for it.”

“Why are you crying?” Xiao Sa took a tissue and wiped her tears. “Is it because you drank too much? Stop drinking then.”

“There is sand in my eyes.” Tang Xi grabbed the tissue from Xiao Sa and pursed her lips. “But the wine wasn’t well aerated. It’s too acrid. My throat is so sore…” With that, she bent over the table and cried out loud, “Why is the wine so strong? I only drank a few glasses. Now my head aches, my eyes ache, my mouth, my throat and my stomach all ache… ”

Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing looked at each other and nodded at the same time. This girl was drunk!

Xiao Jing helplessly picked her up and went upstairs, determining that he would never allow the little girl to drink again!

When Tang Xi was put on the bed, she grabbed the quilt, covered herself and slept on her stomach, feeling relieved that she had managed to hide her secret from them. Just now, they had almost found out about it.

Xiao Jing took a deep look at Tang Xi and felt so strange. However, he couldn’t tell exactly what was wrong. Why did Rourou become so strange every time they mentioned Qiao Liang?

Was it really a love at first sight?

If that was so, he couldn’t let them meet again, otherwise she would fall for Qiao Liang! In that case, his sister would definitely be hurt!

Tang Xi didn’t know what Xiao Jing was thinking. She fell asleep soon because she was sad and drank too much wine.

When she woke up in the afternoon, she had a headache, which made her feel that her whole brain was not her own. She went downstairs and Xiao Jing was playing games in the living room. Seeing her coming down, he shouted towards the kitchen, “She is awake. Be quick.”

Tang Xi walked to the sofa and sat down, looking absent-minded. She stared at the TV screen for quite a while before she slowly asked, “Was I drunk?”

“No, you weren’t,” Xiao Jing said as he played the game. “You just drank too much.”

Tang Xi was speechless. “…” Was there any difference?

She decided to change the subject. Tang Xi looked at the game he was playing and asked, “Are you playing alone?”

“I was playing with Sa. He thought you were about to wake up, so he went to cook you a hangover soup.” Xiao Jing smiled. “After you drink that, we’ll take you out to have seafood and watch a movie.”

Tang Xi grunted and softly leaned against the sofa. Watching him play the game, she yawned and said, “I haven’t seen this game before. Is it new?”

Having a blast, Xiao Jing didn’t notice that Tang Xi knew this game was new. He nodded and replied, “It’s a new game developed by Sa’s company and is being tested. As a game master, I must help Sa to test it.”

Tang Xi nodded. “So Sa runs a game company?”

“Yes. A lot of games in the market are developed by his company, but he is only in charge of making money, and everything else is done by the vice president. So many people only know President Zhou, but they have no idea that the real decision-maker is actually President Xiao.”

Tang Xi smiled, leaned back against the sofa and stared into the kitchen. “Sa is amazing.”

“He is a genius at math and the computer. I’ll tell you a secret—he used to be a famous hacker.”

Tang Xi smiled. She knew that her family members were all prominent figures. Yao was an undercover agent, Sa was a hacker and Jing was an assistant of Qiao Liang. None of them were ordinary people.

Just then, Xiao Sa came over with the hangover soup. Seeing Tang Xi sitting slumped on the sofa, he walked up to her and said, “Have some hangover soup.”

Tang Xi looked up at Xiao Sa and grunted, “Sa, you are like a virtuous wife.”
