Chapter 274: Watched Performance
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
Qiao Liang seemed to get what Tang Xi was implying. He raised his eyebrows, “Have you found the real designer of her design drawings?”
Tang Xi smiled. “I’ll find out some day. As the saying goes, the higher he climbs, the more pain he will receive when he falls. Let’s wait and see whether justice or her will win.”
“Silly girl.” Qiao Liang gazed at Tang Xi. “The so-called justice in the world is built on public opinion. Justice doesn’t exist at all in many dark places…”
“Yes, justice is defined by men, right?” Tang Xi pursed her lips and drew back her hand from Qiao Liang’s as she smiled at him. “You’re a judge, so you should enter from here, while I’m going to enter from the front door. See you at your house this afternoon.”
Without giving Qiao Liang the time to respond, she had already walked towards the front door of the auditorium. Qiao Liang looked at her receding figure, after quite a while he took a deep breath and turned to walk towards the other entrance to the auditorium.
Tang Xi leaned against the wall in the corner, stuck her head out to make sure Qiao Liang had left, and then she leaned against the wall again and closed her eyes. She knew that both Qiao Liang and she had a wound in their hearts. They cared about each other too much, so they chose to ignore the wound. However If the wound couldn’t be healed, it would be a time bomb of their love. Maybe one day, this time bomb would destroy their love completely.
Neither of them had found what could heal this wound yet…
Tang Xi continued to lean against the wall. She kept a secret from him, and he also kept secrets from her.

When Qiao Liang came back, He Wanzhou was sitting in his seat and doing his job in his place. He casually walked to He Wanzhou’s seat and sat down. When He Wanyi who was sitting beside him saw him come back alone, she stared at him in surprise and leaned over to Qiao Liang, whispering, “What’s wrong? Didn’t you go to find Rourou? Why did you come back before finding her?”
Qiao Liang frowned and looked back, then he looked at He Wanyi, asking. “She hasn’t come back?”
He Wanyi secretly rolled her eyes. “I wouldn’t have asked you this question if she has come back, okay?! I’ll be talking with Rourou about my new career in the fashion industry, okay?”
From her words, Qiao Liang realized she was the endorser that Tang Xi mentioned. He took a deep look at He Wanyi, turned his gaze away and said with a straight face, “I don’t think you’ll have any future in the fashion industry.”
As the favorite star of luxury brands, He Wanyi was annoyed by his words. What? How can this bastard say she is not fashionable enough?! She raised her chin, pushed out her chest and widened her eyes. “Do you mean I’m not fashionable enough?! Are you suspicious of Rourou’s taste?”
Qiao Liang glanced at He Wanyi’s angry face, turned his eyes away and said expressionlessly again, “She has no taste by asking someone else to serve as her company’s endorser. She should endorse for herself.”
He Wanyi was speechless. She didn’t know how to refute him, because what he said was right. To be honest, even she thought it would be perfect if Xiao Rou could endorse for herself… but… “Sh*t you are showing off! You make me sick!”
Although it was the first time Qiao Liang showed off his girlfriend to her since childhood, she had a hunch that he would do it a lot in the future…

When talking about Tang Xi, Qiao Liang couldn’t help smiling. He looked at He Wanyi who happened to see the smile over his lips. She tutted, and looked Qiao Liang up and down. Qiao Liang simply said, “I just told the truth.”
He Wanyi sneered but exclaimed in her heart that Qiao Liang was really too handsome and arrogant! If she were her brother, she wouldn’t have chosen to make friends with such a gorgeous man…
Tang Xi hadn’t come back even when the art performance was halfway done. Qiao Liang tried to sit still and watch the show, pretending nothing happened, but in the end, he couldn’t stand it and began to fidget. Finding he was uneasy, He Wanyi looked at her watch and pursed her lips. “It’s about an hour or so before the art performance ends. As the shareholder of the school, you can enjoy a bit of privilege. Just go find Xiao Rou. Why hasn’t she come back? I’m really worried about her. Go find her…”
Qiao Liang took a look at He Wanyi who shrugged and said, “You know, I’m a celebrity and this is my old school. If I leave in advance, some busybodies will gossip about me…” Before she finished, Qiao Liang had stood up and walked outside.
He Wanyi clenched her fists and angrily brandished her fist towards Qiao Liang’s back. This brat was as rude as ever! Can’t he just wait for her to finish talking?
At this time, Xiao Jing who was sitting at the judging table looked back at He Wanyi. “Where is he going?”
He Wanyi shrugged. “He is going to date your sister…”
Xiao Jing sneered. “I’ve overheard your conversation. Haha, he is gonna suffer.”
“Are you gloating?” He Wanyi raised her eyebrows. “Are you gloating that your sister is jealous for a man?”
Xiao Jing. “… Go away!” What was she talking about?! Although he felt sorry for Qiao Liang, he began to sympathize with Tang Xi since he came to know that Rourou was actually Tang Xi. If she hadn’t been hurt in this relationship, she wouldn’t go traveling and then she wouldn’t be killed in an air crash. Objectively speaking , Qiao Liang had a part in Tang Xi’s death…
Although both of them suffered, girls were fragile and men should care about girls, so he thought it was normal for Qiao Liang to suffer more.
He Wanyi gestured him to go. “It’s you who should go out. How can you speak to a lady like this?”
“Haha, you know I’m kidding. I know you don’t mind my jokes…”
“Go to hell!” He Wanyi cursed with a smile. Xiao Jing sighed. “How I envy Yao. He only does what he wants to do and doesn’t have to come to watch this boring art performance…” With that, he turned around and continued to watch the show.
The moment he turned around, the smile on He Wanyi’s face immediately disappeared. She raised her eyebrows, leaned against her chair and continued to watch the show with a straight face.
