Chapter 508: Not Even Close
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
Xiao Yan had to deal with the business of his company, so only Xiao Yao and Tang Xi left. On the way back, Tang Xi looked at Xiao Yao who was driving and asked, “Yao, I want to see Tao Yan.”
She could see Qiao Liang later, but now she wanted to ask Qin Luo a question that had been bothering her. Although Qin Luo might not tell the truth, she still wanted to ask her.
Xiao Yao took a look at Tang Xi and guessed what she wanted to ask Qin Luo. He frowned and said, “We’ll handle these matters. You don’t have to worry about them. Now it’s late, and we don’t have enough time to go to City C to see Tao Yan.”
Tang Xi pursed her lips. “Okay, let’s go to see Qiao Liang first.”
Xiao Yao nodded.
“A car is following us.” Tang Xi saw from the rear-view mirror a black car following them. She frowned. “They must be Qin Xinying’s men.”
Xiao Yao took a look at that car and raised his eyebrows. “They have been following us for several streets, but don’t worry, they can’t do anything to us.”
“Yao, you gotta get rid of them after we leave the Qiao’s International Group. Otherwise, I won’t be able to show up with the identity of Tang Xi tomorrow.” Tang Xi took a look at the rear-view mirror again and said.
Xiao Yao nodded. “Okay, let’s go to the Qiao’s International Group first.”
The Qiao’s International Group.
In Qiao Liang’s office, Qiao Liang, Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa were already there. After Tang Xi told them what had happened, they all stared at her in shock with mouths wide open. Even Qiao Liang was surprised. He looked at Tang Xi, asking, “Are you sure?”

Tang Xi nodded. “Yes, they’ve done a paternity test. It can’t be wrong. Now I just want to wipe out the Qin’s Group as soon as possible. I don’t want to give any chances to the Qin Family.”
Qin Xinying was disgusting enough. To her surprise, the other people of the Qin Family had also done those horrible things to her family. She was not that big-hearted to forgive them.
Qiao Liang nodded. “Okay, I’ll ask Gu Yun to give you a copy of the detailed information about the Qin’s Group. Let’s make an acquisition plan.”
Qiao Liang called Gu Yun and asked him to prepare the documents.
Soon, Gu Yun came into Qiao Liang’s office with all the information and financial statements of the Qin’s Group. Qiao Liang browsed the documents and frowned. Seeing his look, Xiao Jing took a document and began to read it. Then he put down the document and said, “That’s strange. I had thought the Qin’s Group is small, but it seems that it has very strong financial backing.”
Qiao Liang shook his head. “No, the Qin’s Group doesn’t have the strength.”
Xiao Jing raised his eyebrows and looked at Qiao Liang. “Do you mean they have someone behind them?”
Qiao Liang tapped his fingers on the table with a faint smile over his lips. He took a look at Tang Xi and the latter immediately got his meaning. “You mean, the Qin’s Consortium is not controlled by Qin Yue? Otherwise, how can he sit by and watch his son destroy the Qin Family’s company?”
Qiao Liang nodded. “Yes, the Qin’s Consortium seems to be reluctant to help the Qin’s Group when the latter was fighting with the Empire Group.”
Tang Xi narrowed her eyes. “So you mean we should solve the Qin’s Group first?”

Qiao Liang shook his head. “No, we should find out who is behind Qin Yue first.”
Soon He Wanzhou arrived. He cheered up when he heard they were about to cooperate with Tang Xi. Although Tang Xi clearly rejected his wooing, he still felt excited to cooperate with such an excellent businesswoman. He asked Tang Xi in excitement, “Rourou, when will Tang Xi come? If I agree to cooperate with her, can I see her every day?”
The corner of Tang Xi’s eyes twitched. She silently took a look at Qiao Liang. As she expected, Qiao Liang’s face had darkened. Tang Xi smiled. “Not necessarily. I heard that Miss Tang Xi is very busy. Besides, the Spring Festival is coming. Perhaps we’ll only see her subordinates.”
He Wanzhou was disappointed to hear that. He sank into the sofa in disappointment and looked at Tang Xi. “Alas, I had thought I would be able to meet Little Sugar and perhaps I would have a chance to get her favor!”
Tang Xi smiled although she almost shivered. Little Sugar? Seriously? How could He Wanzhou call her this?!
“I heard that Miss Tang already has a boyfriend. Perhaps she will take her boyfriend with her this time.” Tang Xi said and rolled her eyes at He Wanzhou. What did he want to do to her?!
Fortunately, He Wanzhou didn’t know she was Tang Xi. Otherwise…
Tang Xi took a look at Qiao Liang again, who was reading the documents expressionlessly. She was relieved to see he was not jealous.
Just then, He Wanzhou suddenly asked, “Rourou, is it really okay for Qiao Liang to cooperate with Tang Xi?”
“Huh?” Tang Xi looked at He Wanzhou. “Is there any problems with it?”
“Oh, I forgot that you and Tang Xi are actually cousins! Won’t you feel embarrassed when you are together… because of someone?” He Wanzhou said and took a look at Qiao Liang. “You must be embarrassed, right?”
Tang Xi, “…” If you know the two cousins are actually the same person, you must be shocked!
“Why don’t you speak?” He Wanzhou gave a wicked smile. “You feel embarrassed when you are with her, don’t you?”
The Xiao’s brothers looked at He Wanzhou as if looking at an idiot. Xiao Sa said, “Why should they be embarrassed? We’ve all cooperated with our ex-girlfriend and ex-boyfriend.” He paused and said, “Just like you, you are investing a movie that one of your ex-girlfriends stars in, aren’t you? You hang out with your ex-girlfriends and even invite them to act in the same movie of yours, right?”
He Wanzhou looked embarrassed. “The entertainment circle is different. You know how much Qiao Liang used to love Tang Xi!”
Then he gave a questioning look to Xiao Sa who was defending Tang Xi. “Why do you try to defend Qiao Liang and Tang Xi? Shouldn’t you worry about your sister?” He then took a look at Tang Xi and raised his eyebrows. “To be honest, Xiao Rou is not even close to the level of Tang Xi, is she?”
