Chapter 413: Got Jealous
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
Qiao Liang took a look at Tang Xi and raised her eyebrows. “Do you think I am asking you to behave yourself.”
Tang Xi smiled and played with Qiao Liang’s fingers. She leaned against his shoulder and looked up at him as she said, “There is only you and me here. If you weren’t speaking to me, who else were you speaking to?” Then she gave a sly smile. “Don’t worry. There is only you in my eyes.”
Qiao Liang was unhappy because He Wanzhou wanted to chase Tang Xi; but now after hearing her words he finally cracked a smile and touched the tip of her nose. “Good.”
“But why did you ask me to behave myself? I didn’t seduce He Wanzhou.” Tang Xi blinked and looked at Qiao Liang. “The one who He Wanzhou likes is Tang Xi, but I’m Xiao Rou. Even Tang Xi is cold to He Wanzhou. It’s his unrequited love. You can’t ask me to behave myself.”
“Don’t make excuses.” Qiao Liang glanced at Tang Xi. “They were all talking about you during lunch. Look how charming you are.”
Tang Xi shrugged and was about to speak, when her cell phone rang. She picked up the call and said, “Oh, sorry, I forgot to send you the script. I’ll send it to you right away.”
Tang Xi hung up the call and hurriedly took out her laptop to log into her email account as she complained, “It’s all your fault. I forgot to send the script to Ning Yan.” She quickly tapped on the keyboard and sent a file to Ning Yan’s email box.
When the two of them arrived at the hospital, the journalists had all left. They entered the ward and quickly left it again. Then they entered the room again secretly and disguised as Tang Xi and her bodyguards. After a while, Qiao Liang called a doctor into the ward… After the doctor left, Qiao Liang and Tang Xi also left the room.

In front of the elevator, they met Lawrence and Carl who came to visit Tang Xi. Qiao Liang raised his eyebrows and Tang Xi had a gleam of surprise in her eyes. She concealed her emotions and smiled at them. “Hi, Carl. Hi, Lawrence.”
Lawrence took a look at Tang Xi and frowned when he found Tang Xi was not in the hospital gown. He asked, “Have you been discharged from the hospital?”
Tang Xi nodded. “The doctors said that I just have cerebral concussion and there is nothing seriously wrong with my body. I’ve agreed to shoot a promotion clip for a girl. The shoot will start this afternoon, so I’m going to the film set now.”
“Do you mean the girl that’s the owner of The Queen?” Carl looked at Tang Xi. Seeing her nod in agreement, he looked surprised. “You agreed to be her company’s endorser?! I asked you to be our endorser so many times, but you refused me every single time.”
Tang Xi smiled. “China’s fashion industry is not yet developed enough. I’m very glad to help them, especially if I can help them get onto the world stage.” She looked at Carl sincerely as she said with a smile, “Your brand is too famous already and doesn’t need my promotion. It’s already shining brightly at the top of the fashion world.”
“Oh, I’m still confused.” Carl shook his head. “I can’t believe you agreed to shoot a promotion clip for her despite your health.”
Lawrence who had remained silent suddenly smiled and said, “Now I am truly curious about the clothes and jewelry that the company has designed. I’ve received their invitation card. I think I will go to watch their show.”
Carl hurriedly said, “I want to see the clothes that girl designed too. I wonder why you are giving her special treatment her?”

Tang Xi gave a helpless smile. “In fact, she is my acquaintance. And I also like her designs, so I think I should give her a chance.”
“But the news these days are all about your designs being stolen. You…”
Tang Xi frowned and looked at Carl, saying with a smile, “Carl, I don’t want to talk about this.”
Carl shrugged. Lawrence smiled and looked at Tang Xi, asking, “Why? Is it because it makes you look stupid?”
Tang Xi took a look at Lawrence and shook her head. “No, it’s just because that every time people talk about this matter, I have an impulse to kill that woman. Wow, I took her as my friend, but she took me as her enemy! I don’t know why! But next time I see her, I will slap her without any hesitation.”
She did give Qin Xinying many chances, but she didn’t cherish them but set her up over and over again. She couldn’t let her death become so meaningless. She died in the air crash but there wasn’t any evidence left. Now that Tang Xi was murdered, she must make sure all the murderers get the punishment that they deserve!
Thinking of this, Tang Xi smiled at the two of them. “Let’s go downstairs.”
Since Tang Xi was about to leave the hospital, Carl and Lawrence wouldn’t stay here. Qiao Liang went to handle the discharge procedures. Lawrence and Carl were chatting with Tang Xi, telling her to take care of herself. Tang Xi nodded with a smile and thanked them.
Lawrence suddenly asked Tang Xi, “Do you know a man named Lu Li?”
Tang Xi’s eyes had a gleam of surprise. How does Lawrence know about Lu Li? She shook her head. “No, who is he?”
Lawrence shook his head, answering, “I had my men investigate your matter yesterday, but I found that someone seemed to try to make the woman called Qin Xinying suffer, so I investigated that man. They called him Mr. Lu. If my guess is right, he must be Lu Li of Long Xiao Group.”
“Long Xiao Group?” Tang Xi looked at Lawrence in surprise, asking, “Do you mean ‘that’ Long Xiao Group?”
Lawrence nodded. “I wonder why Lu Li meddled in this affair, but I’ve told my men not to let that woman be bailed out easily, because just like Lu Li, I don’t like her either.”
Tang Xi looked at Lawrence gratefully. “I don’t know how to express my appreciation to you. Lawrence, it’s my honor to have a friend like you.”
Qiao Liang walked over. Lawrence patted her shoulder, saying, “Take care. I’ll be going now, let’s meet at The Queen’s show field next Wednesday.”
Tang Xi hugged Lawrence and said gently, “Lawrence, thank you.”
After seeing Lawrence off, Qiao Liang frowned at Tang Xi and said unhappily, “He seems to be very fond of you.”
Realizing that he got jealous again, Tang Xi gave a sly smile and looked at him naughtily. “I’m very fond of him too. I feel at ease when I’m with him.”
