Chapter 206: Tang Xi’s Gift for Xiao Rou
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
Qin Benyuan completely believed his daughter’s words. His daughter was Tang Xi’s best friend and she was almost treated like a real daughter of the Tang Family. Since his daughter said this, it must be true. Then he just needed to initiate the projects when the funds were in place!
He kept saying, “Okay, okay, okay, Ying’er, you’re really a good daughter. Come back home tonight, I’ll have the chef cook your favorite dishes.”
Qin Xinying was in a bad mood because she didn’t find Tang Xi’s painting album and USB drive in the Empire Garden today. She pursed her lips and said, “No, thanks. Though my clothing company is doing well, it’s no match for the Qiao’s International Group. Now I’m the special designer of the Qiao’s International Group Designer, so I need to be careful about the cooperation with the Qiao’s International Group, and maybe we can persuade the Qiao’s International Group to invest in our company.”
Though the Qiao’s International Group was not as powerful as the Empire Group, it was one of the top companies in China. Qin Benyuan had surely heard of the Qiao’s International Group. Hearing Qin Xinying’s words, he immediately said with satisfaction and flattery, “Yes, yes, yes. Since you can enter such a big company, you should cherish this chance. Your career is already booming and you should carefully manage it. I wish you success in your career!”
However, Qin Xinying frowned when she heard this. She said coldly, “Forget it. I lost my USB drive. I planned to find Tang Xi’s USB drive from the Empire Garden, but I don’t know if she took it with her when she went abroad. Now I can’t reach her and can’t take out any design drawings. That means I can’t exhibit any works on behalf of the Qiao’s International Group in the Paris Fashion Week, let alone establish relations with the world’s top fashion masters. I’m so upset!”

Qin Benyuan certainly knew where Qin Xinying’s design drawings were from, but he didn’t think there was anything wrong with it. Tang Xi, as the little princess of the Empire Group, had almost everything and many people would do everything to please her even if she didn’t ask for it, but they were different. They had to try very hard to get what they wanted. If Xinying hadn’t ‘used’ Tang Xi’s design drawings, she would have only been an assistant designer now and wouldn’t become the talented designer popular among the upper class women. So Tang Xi should give her design drawings to Xinying and help Xinying have what she has now. That was her duty!
They were best friends, so Tang Xi was supposed to help Xinying and her family.
“Why don’t you call her? Paris Fashion Week is a great fashion event. If you can exhibit your work in Paris Fashion Week and be recognized by fashion masters, there will be more and more people wearing the clothes designed by you which means your career will boom.” Qin Benyuan didn’t want his daughter to lose a single chance or opportunity.
Hearing Qin Benyuan’s words, Qin Xinying spared a hand to rub her temple and held the steering wheel with the other hand, frowning. “I know, but now I can’t take out any design drawings. I lost my USB drive!”
Qin Benyuan sensed the dismay in Qin Xinying’s tone. He lowered his voice as if he was afraid of angering Qin Xinying and said softly, “Ying ‘er, don’t worry. Just prepare for the fashion week. As for the design drawings, I’ll handle it. I’ll get some design drawings for you within a few days. Don’t worry.”
Qin Xinying frowned, “What are you going to do?”
Qin Benyuan smiled, and sounded so confident. “My dear, don’t worry. Just some design drawings. I’ll fix it for you. Just wait for my good news.”

…
Tang Xi had been in the hospital for three days, and finally she was able to move her waist. She sat up and when she looked up, she glared at Qiao Liang, who was leaning against the doorframe and watching her trying to sit up. “Hey! What are you doing over there?! Is it fun to see me like this?” Damn! He had been here for a long time but he just watched her struggle! B*stard!
Qiao Liang walked over slowly and raised her bed up. Then he put a pillow under her waist and helped her lie back on the pillow. “Does it hurt?” he asked.
Tang Xi glared. “Of course it hurts!” She injured her waist!
Qiao Liang grunted and nodded indifferently. “It’s good that you know it hurts. Otherwise you’ll forget it soon and get yourself back into the hospital again.”
Tang Xi was speechless. She wanted to get angry, but then she thought ” Damn it, Qiao Liang is right! Sh*t! When did Qiao Liang study psychology?” He was brainwashing her!
Why did she feel guilty towards him, given that she was the one who was injured?!
Seeing Tang Xi flushed but speechless, Qiao Liang smiled and asked softly, “Angry?”
Tang Xi shook off Qiao Liang’s hand and said in a cold voice, “I dare not!”
Qiao Liang smiled, reached out his hand and rubbed her hair. Thinking of what he saw in her room, he didn’t have the heart to be harsh to her. He kissed her on the forehead and said, “Ok, don’t be angry. Have you read your grandpa’s physical examination report?”
Tang Xi smiled and nodded as she thought of the inspection report she received the day before. Her eyes were filled with nostalgia, but she said gladly, “Grandpa Butler took good care of my grandpa when I was not at home.”
Qiao Liang nodded, “Tang Zhong is really a loyal butler.”
Tang Xi smiled and said with a little pride, “Of course, Butler Grandpa has been following my Grandpa since I was little.”
Seeing Tang Xi’s childish side, Qiao Liang secretly sighed, rubbed her hair and asked tenderly, “Why do you want that dress?”
“Marry you.” Tang Xi said, laughing as she saw Qiao Liang completely stunned by her words, “Haha, scared? I’m kidding. That’s not a wedding dress. I want to give that dress to Xiao Rou as a gift Tang Xi gave to Xiao Rou.”
Qiao Liang looked doubtfully at Tang Xi, “Gift?”
Tang Xi smiled. Thinking of the news she read that day, she looked up at Qiao Liang and said, “Ah Liang, you may think it’s mean to take back what you’ve given others, but I have made up my mind to do so, or else I will be sorry for myself.”
Thinking of the scene she dreamed about last night, she clenched her hands hard that were hidden inside her gown.
She used to be so nice to Qin Xinying, but Qin Xinying just used her as a pedal and threw her away when she was useless.
