Chapter 72: You Think You’re the Victim?
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
Xiao Yao thought it was because she hadn’t seen a movie before. He didn’t know how to comfort her, so he stretched out his hand, rubbed at her hair and whispered, “Whenever you want to watch a movie, just watch it. We can accompany you, or after you make a friend, you can ask them to accompany you.” Xiao Yao paused before continuing, “But it must be a girlfriend.”
Tang Xi had been feeling a bit sad, but she burst into laughter upon hearing Xiao Yao’s words. “Haha, I see.”
But she wouldn’t do as Yao demanded. She would bring Qiao Liang to an ordinary screening room to watch the hottest movie, and she would do things with him that they hadn’t done before.
Yes, the things that those ordinary lovers would do but they had never done.
Thinking of this, Tang Xi took a deep breath. Qiao Liang, please come back soon so that I can chase after you.
Okay?
On the other side of things, Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa went to a private styling salon that had men’s wear of international top brands for rent. The upper-class people of City A would either wear their own clothes and use their own stylists, or come here when they were going to attend a banquet.
Xiao Sa and Xiao Yao both chose Armani suits and had their hair styled. The two brothers walked out of the dressing room, stood before the dressing mirror and looked at themselves with satisfied looks. Xiao Sa picked a bow tie, went up to Xiao Jing and helped him wear it. Xiao Jing took a necktie hung by the side and put it around Xiao Sa’s neck. Then they separately arranged their clothes, smiled at each other and said in chorus, “We’ll surely be the most handsome men tonight.”
Xiao Sa shook his head with a smile. They turned around only to see Xiao Jinning, who had come here with Liu Chengyu to choose clothes. Xiao Jing raised his eyebrows as he said, “It seems that I’m lucky tonight. I ran into the devil as soon as I went out!”

Xiao Sa put one of his hands into his trouser pocket, and gave a cold smile, asking, “Seriously? You think this is lucky?”
Angry with the brothers for ridiculing her in the underground parking lot of OLS Company yesterday, Xiao Jinning was cold towards them. Hearing their words, she looked even angrier.
Liu Chengyu, who had lost face in front of Tang Xi at the school because of them, didn’t want to see them. So he sneered coldly, “If I had known you two were here, I would have chosen another salon.”
Xiao Jing casually pointed to the door of the salon and said, “The door is right there. Why don’t you just go?”
Xiao Jinning looked at them with an embarrassed look and said with a low voice, “Sa, Jing, how can you talk to us like this? We don’t…”
“I’m sorry. We don’t feel like talking to you.” Xiao Jing sneered and walked past Liu Chengyu and Xiao Jinning. Xiao Jinning suddenly turned around and shouted to them, “Why do you treat me like this? You weren’t like this before! Ever since Xiao Rou came back, you’ve been cold to me. What did I do wrong?”
Xiao Sa stopped to look back at Xiao Jinning and asked with a snort, “You really don’t know what you did wrong?”
Xiao Jinning choked in response and didn’t speak anymore.
Xiao Jing sneered and called out to Xiao Sa, “Sa, why are you wasting your time on such scum?”
Knowing that he was referring to her, Xiao Jinning immediately turned pale. Liu Chengyu was a very smart man. He was becoming increasingly convinced that Xiao Jinning had to be hiding something from him, but he didn’t have any clue as to what it was right now
At this thought, he cast a grim glance at Xiao Sa before turning around and walking inside the salon. “Jinning, enjoy your chat. I’m going to choose a suit.”

Xiao Jinning looked at Liu Chengyu in surprise and felt anxious. Why didn’t Chengyu stand up for her? He had even quarreled with the board of City A’s First High School for her the other day… His attitude today, though… had he found out that she had asked Yao Na to frame Xiao Rou?
Liu Chengyu, on the other hand, continued to walk while ignoring her.
Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing looked at each other. Having no interest in wasting time with this repulsive woman, they turned around and walked away. Xiao Jinning trotted over to catch up with them and shouted, “Sa, Jing, wait a minute!”
Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing continued to walk as if they couldn’t hear her. Utterly discomfited, Xiao Jinning cried out loud, “Xiao Sa, Xiao Jing, stop!”
The two brothers stopped. Xiao Jing smiled and looked at Xiao Jinning as he asked, “Superstar Xiao, what do you want?”
Xiao Jinning took a deep breath and walked forward. Stopping in front of Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing, she coldly stared at them, narrowed her eyes and asked grimly, “Xiao Rou asked you to do this to me, right?” Since she had her disguise torn away before them, she didn’t need to play innocent in front of them anymore. Xiao Jinning’s face grew colder and she sneered, “You’re so sympathetic to her because my mom doesn’t want her, right? That’s her problem. How can it be blamed on me? You should blame her, or my mom. Come on, go blame my mom for being blind and abandoning her own daughter!”
Xiao Sa took two steps back and took out his phone to check the time…
Xiao Sa sneered, “If it weren’t for you, a fake pheasant, would Rourou have been abandoned by her biological parents?”
“Me?” Xiao Jinning sneered. She took a look around. The salon was a high-class private styling salon; except for very rich people, no one would come here. Seeing no one was around, she said coldly, “I’ve been the Xiao Family’s daughter for more than 20 years. Suddenly, someone told me that I was actually not the Xiao Family’s daughter but a child of a very poor family. And then a country bumpkin appeared in front of me, telling me that she was the Xiao Family’s daughter! Is this fair?! Why should I lose all I have overnight?! Why should I give everything I own to her?!”
Not bothering to listen to her drivel, Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing turned around and were about to leave, but Xiao Jinning certainly wouldn’t let them go after finally taking the words out of her mouth. They were the only two who knew what she was really thinking, so she wouldn’t let them leave until she spoke out everything she wanted to say. She grabbed Xiao Jing and stared at him with her eyes wide open. “Why should I let her take everything from me?! It’s all mine! If she hadn’t come back, I would’ve continued to be the Xiao Family’s baby girl and Mom and Dad’s beloved daughter. It’s all her fault! I lost everything just because of her!”
“Have you lost anything?” Xiao Jing grasped her firmly by the arm, glared at her and said in a low voice, “You framed Rourou for stealing your things, caused her to be driven out of her home by her parents, drove a car into her and almost trampled her to death! Now she can only live in our home because she was abandoned by her biological parents! And you think you’re the victim?”
