Chapter 485: Family
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
Chu Ling took a look at Tang Xi. Although he was a bit unhappy, he didn’t say anything. He said to Tang Xi, “There is only one condition that I have if you want me to allow you to not come to the company for the next three months.”
“What is it?” Tang Xi looked at Chu Ling vigilantly. The condition Chu Ling put forward was usually harsh.
Chu Ling looked at Tang Ling and turned up the corners of his mouth. “Am I that scary?”
“Yes, you are!” Tang Xi said without hesitation. Didn’t he know what kind of a person he was? He was truly too good at exploiting others and would devour his target alive if it was possible.
“Turn your designs into finished products.” Chu Ling saw the reluctance in Tang Xi’s eyes, but he just ignored it and continued to speak to Tang Xi expressionlessly, “Give me the finished products. Then you can work at that movie without concern. it’s good for you too.”
Tang Xi, “…” She had known Chu Ling wouldn’t let her off!
The clothes she had designed had a lot of embroidery details that had to be sewn by hand, so… she would have to work overtime to finish these clothes before she began to postal or in the filming of the movie!
But she had to agree in exchange for Chu Ling’s permission.
As the Spring Festival was coming, the Xiao Family people had all moved to the Xiao Family’s mansion. Tang Xi left the company, made a call to Qiao Liang and got into Xiao Sa’s car. Noticing her dark face, Xiao Sa raised his eyebrows and asked, “What’s up? Who bullied you? Look at your dark face.”

Tang Xi immediately complained about Chu Ling. “Sa, you know that I’m so busy these days. How could this guy still press me to finish so much work within such a short amount of time? Oh, he is so evil!”
Xiao Sa couldn’t help bursting into laughter. Then he reminded Tang Xi. “Hey, I remember this company is yours, right?”
Tang Xi paused and nodded. Xiao Sa laughed and patted her shoulder. “So he did this for your own good. He didn’t even ask you to pay him. He just tried to be responsible for his work. How can you complain about him?”
Tang Xi looked blankly at Xiao Sa and fell into a long silence. Being stared at by her, Xiao Sa felt uneasy, so he gently pushed Tang Xi’s head. “Don’t look at me like this. It’s creepy.”
Tang Xi shook her head and exclaimed, “My God, Sa, I didn’t expect that you could be so wise. You make me feel ashamed at my stupidity!”
If Xiao Sa had only just comforted her, she might still feel aggrieved, but now hearing Xiao Sa’s words, she suddenly felt she was wrong. She worked hard just because she wanted to own more.
Just like Sa said, The Queen was her company and she would be the greatest beneficiary of its success. It was her duty to work hard for The Queen. Because of Qiao Liang, the business genius Chu Ling helped her run the company, and she just took it for granted and threw all the jobs to Chu Ling. Once Chu Ling assigned her any work, she would feel she had done a lot. However, it was not true. In fact, she didn’t do much at all…
“Sa, thank you for your reminder.” Tang Xi felt lucky to have such a good brother.

When she was still Tang Xi, she was surrounded by people who would only fawn on her, and very few of them truly cared for her. The Tang family people couldn’t wait to see her make mistakes so that they could gradually snatch the Empire Group from her…
However, the Xiao Family people were completely different. They would analyze for her from an onlooker’s point of view and let her see what she was doing wrong…
Xiao Sa smiled. “If you do things right, we’ll praise you and be happy for you, but if you do something wrong, we’ll surely help you correct your mistake. That’s what families should do.”
Tang Xi felt warmth well up in her heart. Yes, that was what families were about. They would lead you to the right path and pull you back when you step onto the wrong path.
Xiao Yao was still enjoying his long holiday. After they all moved to the Xiao Family’s mansion, he stayed at home all day long, except for when he was picking up Tang Xi from time to time. Xiao Yan and Xiao Jing had gone back to the mansion. Xiao Sa happened to be free today, so he came to pick up Tang Xi.
When the two of them arrived at their home the food had already been prepared by Lin Ru and Yang Jingxian. They were waiting for them to have dinner together.
Seeing them come back, Lin Ru beckoned the servants to serve the dishes and asked them to wash their hands and come and have dinner.
Tang Xi took a look at the dishes and said happily, “What special day is it today? Why are there so many dishes?” Then she reached out to taste one of the dishes.
Lin Ru gently patted her hand and said with a smile, “Go wash your hands first.”
Tang Xi naughtily made a petulant face, went to wash her hands and then sat down next to Grandpa Xiao. She winked at Grandpa Xiao and whispered, “Grandpa, what day is it today? Why did Mom and Mommy make so many dishes?”
Since Xiao Hongyi’s family and Xiao Hongli’s family had amended their relationship and moved back to the Xiao Family’s mansion, the mansion became much more joyous and Grandpa Xiao’s health and spirits had picked up. And since Lin Ru had now learned how to cook from Yang Jingxian, the chefs in the mansion had almost lost their jobs. If it wasn’t that the Xiao Family still had to hold banquets from time to time, the chefs would have definitely, without a doubt, lost their jobs.
Grandpa Xiao smiled and winked at Tang Xi too. Tang Xi blinked in confusion and Xiao Sa shook his head with a smile. “I can’t believe you’ve forgotten it.”
“Huh?” A gleam of doubt flickered across Tang Xi’s eyes. “So what day is it today?”
“So you’ve already started to eat? Why didn’t you wait for us for a little while longer?” General Yang’s sonorous voice rang.
The smile on Grandpa Xiao’s face spread when he saw the Yang Family people had all come. He laughed. “Thank you for coming here to celebrate my grandchild’s birthday. Come on in. Take your seats please.”

The Vampire and The Ghost | ✔︎
[BOOK ONE OF THE VAMPIRE AND THE GHOST SERIES]She's dead, he's undead. An unusual duo make their way through the modern world, and its modern challenges. Annalise Redwood had spent too much time alone, floating in a centuries old house. The very same house she was murdered in 5 years before. She'd watched people leave, come in, investigate and even squat in this house. Yet none of them stayed long. And more importantly none of them saw her. It was hell, and she swore she was cursed. But this all changes, on the 5th anniversary of her death when a seemingly normal young man walks in. And he sees her. Eugene Cubert was old. Too old. He was done with life, had lived, breathed (well not really) and seen too much for one soul to bare. Quite frankly all he wanted to do was find a nice house to live in and spend the rest of the century comfortably locked away from all of the supernatural and natural. He's visiting his 5th house that day, when he hears it. A woman, screaming to be seen. And then he sees her. And nothings quite the same after that.----------------------------------------------------#No.2 in paranormal 3/7/2021#No.1 in ghost 9/7/2021#No.8 in murder 2/8/2021Updates weekly!
