Chapter 516: It Doesn’t Matter How Xixi Thinks
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
After Qin Xinying left, Tang Xi sat on the sofa. Qin Xinying looked at this little girl who wasn’t afraid of him at all, narrowed his eyes, slowly walked up to the sofa using his crutch and also sat down. Then he looked at Tang Xi with a straight face. “What do you want to talk to me about?”
Tang Xi looked quite casual without any nervousness at all. She smiled. “I had been wondering before why you disliked me, Grandpa Qin.”
Qin Yue frowned and said coldly, “I don’t dislike you. I just dislike your grandfather!”
“You dislike him because my grandmother chose him?” Tang Xi looked at Qin Yue with a mocking smile. “I don’t think so. You do dislike me. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have allowed your granddaughter to do those terrible things to me.”
Qin Yue frowned and Tang Xi pursed her lips. “Don’t you think it’s the punishment that God has given you?”
Qin Yue snorted. “I don’t know what you are talking about! If you keep speaking nonsense like this, let’s just end the conversation.”
Tang Xi laughed. “Nonsense? If your sister hadn’t killed Grandma Suhua in that car accident, my grandfather wouldn’t have met Grandma and the two of them wouldn’t have fallen in love with each other. This is just your retribution. Don’t you think so?”
“Don’t try to defend your grandfather! He is an asshole stealing another man’s fiancée!” Qin Yue lunged to his feet and looked down at Tang Xi, asking coldly, “Where is my sister?”
“In jail.” Tang Xi said casually.
Qin Yue got angry. “Are you teasing me?!”
Tang Xi slightly tilted her head and looked at Qin Yue with a smile. “It’s said that the older people grow, the more composed they will be. But it seems that you’re an exception.”

“Shut up!” Qin Yue hit his crutch against the floor. “What makes you think you can beat me with the help of your stupid allies?”
Tang Xi smiled. “I don’t think I can beat you. You have a big shot like Mr. William behind you. How dare we act rashly?”
Hearing her mention William, Qin Yue frowned and cast a shocked glance at her. How did they know that? Mr. William was his trump card. If they had found out it was Mr. William behind him… then the Qin’s Group would be in real danger.
Tang Xi was very satisfied to see Qin Yue get upset. She slightly turned up the corners of his mouth and looked at Qin Yue as she said with a smile, “In fact, I came here today to tell you that as long as I’m still alive, the Qin’s Group won’t be able to touch the Xiao’s Group, and you won’t be able to save your sister and her family.”
“Don’t be so confident.” Qin Yue snapped. “I’d like to see what you’re capable of.”
Tang Xi smiled. “Then let’s wait and see. By the way, do you know that the next-month orders of the Qin’s Group are already in the hands of the Empire Group?”
Qin Yue sneered. “Really?”
“You can go back and check if you like.” Tang Xi said and walked towards the door. At the door, she suddenly stopped, looked back at Qin Yue and said with a smile, “And please tell Qin Xinying that I clearly remember every single thing she did to me, and I will slowly pay her back.”
Seeing Qin Yue’s face grew darker, Tang Xi opened the door. Qin Xinying who was eavesdropping didn’t expect Tang Xi would suddenly open the door, and almost fell to the ground. Tang Xi glanced at her and walked out. Then she looked back at Qin Xinying and said, “You are always so insidious.”

Qin Xinying clenched her hands and Tang Xi turned to leave.
At the gate of the hotel, Little Six was waiting for her outside the car. Tang Xi got into the car and Little Six started it. Tang Xi took off the skin mask from her face and said, “Go to the jail of City C.”
…
On the way, Tang Xi received a call from Tang Ya who said that Tang Zhenhua wanted to hold a press conference and also a shareholder’s meeting of the Empire Group to introduce Tang Ya to the public. She called Tang Xi to ask for her opinions. Hearing this information, Tang Xi pursed her lips. “I’m outside right now. Let’s discuss it when I get home. I’ll be home tomorrow.”
Tang Ya said, “Okay,” and hung up. For some reason, now she would ask for her daughter’s opinion no matter what happened.
After she hung up, Tang Zhenhua asked her. “What did Rourou say?”
Xixi has been out since yesterday. He wanted to discuss with her about the press conference but couldn’t get a hold of her. He didn’t know why she was so busy until he watched the news today.
“Rourou said she had something to deal with and would come home tomorrow. Let’s talk to her when she comes back.” Tang Ya looked at Tang Zhenhua awkwardly. “Rourou had just come back to us and you’re also a big surprise for her. She needs time to get adapted to it. Please… don’t mind.”
When she was in the hospital yesterday, she called him Dad, but now she found it was hard for her to call him that.
Tang Zhenhua knew Tang Xi was very busy these days, and even busier than before, so he just nodded. “Okay, let’s talk to her tomorrow.”
“By the way, what about Xixi?” To be honest, Tang Ya was a bit nervous. She hadn’t seen her niece. She often watched the news about her on TV before. She just thought this girl was really someone as she took over such a large corporation at such a young age and ran it well. But now this girl suddenly became her niece. Would she accept her?”
“Xixi has declared to support the Xiao’s Group. What do you think she will think?” Tang Zhenhua laughed. “It doesn’t matter how Xixi thinks. What matters is how you think. Just tell me your decision after you discuss with Rourou.”
Tang Ya cast a worried look at Xiao Hongyi and the latter held her hand and comforted her in a lowered voice, “Yes, Dad is right. Don’t scare yourself. They’re your family.”
Yang Jingxian who had known the truth, “…”
Of course it didn’t matter how Xixi thought, because Xixi was just Rourou!
At this time, Tang Zhong came in with a cellphone. He whispered to Tang Zhenhua, “Master…”

The Emperor's Concubine
[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] The heroine is good and the villainess is evil. That was the absolute truth. That rule was undeniable as well as the fact that only the heroine would receive true love and her happy ending. Likewise, the malicious villainess would always suffer and leave the stage to clear the path for the perfect heroine in the end. So, for Blanche it felt like her world came crashing around her when she remembered the truth about her life. As the villainess in the typical romance novel “To Be Empress” she was fated to be condemned and abandoned by her lover. No matter how devoted she was to Theodore Estien, the emperor of Artias, she would only be the bratty concubine that would obstruct the heroine, who happened to be Theodore's lawful wife and the empress. In the end, the villainess would be deserted and executed. It was destined to happen like this, and yet she couldn't give up. She had to change the future. Preventing the romance between the main characters would get her killed. Much like trying to steer away from the enemies' intrigues, in which she was already caught up, would. But neither the heroine nor the emperor's political rivals would change the fact that Blanche loved the man that was supposed to be the heroine's. And no matter what happened she would always stay by her lover's side. So she wouldn't just follow the book's storyline and let her own doom arrive. Blanche would survive while trying to suppress all of the selfish desires that had made her the villainess. But was she truly fine with that? Did she not desire more than just surviving? Did she even have the right? Could the villainess ask for a happy end? Was she too brazen if she just wanted to stay with the man she loved and receive his affection? And wasn't there a bit more to this novel than she remembered? She didn't know and in the end that mattered little when the world around her changed with each day as more and more questions about the future and the past arose. "The Emperor's Concubine" will be updated thrice a week (usually on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays) *The Profanity tag was added due to the characters' occasional swearing, which should not happen too often.
