Chapter 223: Three Generations
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
Tang Xi walked into the office building only to find that it had been decorated, and the style was exactly what she liked. She looked at Qiao Liang in surprise. “How did you manage to do this? It can’t be easy to find such a great place in such a short time, right?”
Thinking of Little Five’s miserable and tearful complaint, he nodded with a straight face. “It’s not a big deal.” Then he said, “As long as you’re happy.”
Tang Xi ran to see her office. After seeing all three floors Tang Xi was smiling. She rushed to Qiao Liang, stood on her tiptoes and kissed him on the lips. “I can’t be more satisfied than this. Thank you, thank you for what you’ve done for me.”
“This is what I should do.” Qiao Liang leaned against the bar counter, and enjoyed the kiss from Tang Xi. Just at the moment, the door was pushed open and Jin Han and Li Manyan walked in. Tang Xi cheerfully asked them to see their offices, and excitedly told them that she would make Floor one a reception and recreation field. All sorts of ideas kept popping out from her mouth.
Tang Xi didn’t mention any of these ideas to Qiao Liang before. Listening to her now, he secretly bore them in mind. When Tang Xi finished, Qiao Liang had almost remembered all of them.
It was already night time when Tang Xi finished seeing her office and went back to the Xiao Family household. To her surprise, Xiao Hongyi hadn’t had dinner yet but was waiting for Tang Xi in the living room. Looking at the dishes on the table and Xiao Hongyi sitting on the sofa, Tang Xi frowned and walked over. “Are you… waiting for me?”

Xiao Hongyi was watching news. Hearing her voice, he turned back and smiled at her. Then he hurriedly stood up and said to her, “Your brother is still in the company and the driver went to pick up your grandpa. Let’s have dinner together. It’s the first time for the three of our generations to sit down and have dinner together.”
When Tang Xi heard Grandpa Xiao was coming, her eyes lit up. “Is Grandpa going to live here for some time?”
Xiao Hongyi nodded with a smile. “I think your grandpa must be happy to see you move back, so I want to bring him here to live for some time…” He looked hesitant. “Well, do you mind me bringing your grandpa here?”
As if fearing she might misunderstand him, he hurriedly added, “Rourou, don’t take me wrong. I don’t have any bad intentions. I just want to make your grandpa happy. You know, so many things happened recently, and your grandpa just came back from abroad where he was having his recuperation. We can’t…”
“I see.” Tang Xi interrupted Xiao Hongyi. She smiled and said gently, “I know what you mean. I won’t think wrongly of you. It’s good to bring Grandpa here. I haven’t seen Grandpa for a long time.”
“By the way, are you going back to school tomorrow?”
Hearing this, Tang Xi frowned. Oh, she was really busy now. She had to go to school, run her company, work out and treat Lin Ru’s illness… Okay, take it easy. Things would work out in the end.
Tang Xi nodded. “Yes, it’s Monday tomorrow and I have to go to school. I’ll get up early tomorrow morning to give Mother her acupuncture treatment before I go , and I’ll come back a bit later tomorrow evening.”

Hearing this, Xiao Hongyi hurriedly nodded. “Okay, okay, I’ll ask the driver to send you to school tomorrow morning and pick you up tomorrow afternoon.”
“No, thanks…” Tang Xi looked helpless. Her bossy boyfriend would do all these jobs… She remembered Qiao Liang said since you had moved to the Xiao Family, I would go to the Xiao Family and send you to school.
“Well…”
“Jing will send me to school. “Tang Xi pursed her lips. “Since I’ll live here for a while, my brothers will miss me, so I agreed with him that he can pick me up every morning.”
Hearing this, Xiao Hongyi didn’t say anything more.
Tang Xi heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Xiao Hongyi had stopped asking.
Tang Xi went to Lin Ru’s room and checked her condition. After she came out, she and Xiao Hongyi sat awkwardly on the sofa, watching TV. Tang Xi kept looking at her watch, but Grandpa Xiao still hadn’t arrived. Tang Xi couldn’t help staring at the gate. Why hadn’t Grandpa come?!
After quite a while, Grandpa Xiao finally showed up in front of Tang Xi’s expectant eyes. Grandpa Xiao walked in as supported by the driver. Tang Xi happily came up to greet him. Grandpa Xiao was as happy as a kid when he saw Tang Xi. “Haha, my baby girl. Come here, let me have a good look at you. How have you been doing?”
Tang Xi ran over and took his hand, saying cutely, “I’m doing very well. Mom and Dad take very good care of me. This noon, Mom cooked me pig’s trotters soup. I’ve put on weight! Look, Grandpa, my face is getting round, right?”
Looking at Tang Xi, Grandpa Xiao nodded with vigour. “Yes, yes, Rourou has become prettier. I can’t even recognize you.”
Tang Xi supported him as he walked in. Xiao Hongyi had been waiting in the living room, Seeing them walk in, he too walked over to support Grandpa Xiao. “Dad, let’s have dinner.”
Grandpa Xiao was cold to Xiao Hongyi. He hummed flatly, took back his hand and patted Tang Xi’s hand, sighing. “I’ve been waiting for you to come back and see me.”
Remembering that she didn’t go back to see Grandpa Xiao, Tang Xi felt guilty. She said to Grandpa Xiao, “Sorry, Grandpa, I should have gone back to see you, but I promise you, I’ll always stay by your side in the future, okay?”
Grandpa Xiao was amused by her. “Good, good. After you find a husband, both of you will stay by my side.”
Tang Xi chuckled and blushed slightly, wondering whether Qiao Liang would agree to live at her home after they got married.
She thought Qiao Liang would probably choose the first option, if she asked him to choose between breaking up with her and living in her home after marriage…
Seeing Tang Xi fall silent, Grandpa Xiao asked, “Did you come here willingly or were you forced?” When he was saying this, his voice became cold and took a look at Xiao Hongyi, saying sternly, “If anyone forces you, tell me. I’ll protect you. I’ll see who dare forces you to do anything you don’t want to do!”
Tang Xi felt warmth in her heart. Grandpa Xiao came here at night, because he was worried about her.
