Strike Back, Proud Goddess! Chapter 119

Tang Xi told them about the abilities she had suddenly acquired . Listening to her, Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa were dumbfounded . Xiao Yao suddenly looked up at Tang Xi and his voice was very hoarse as he asked, “You mean you're Tang Xi?”

Tang Xi froze . She suddenly looked at Xiao Yao, who looked awful under the street light as if he were just rescued out of water, but she had admit it—she had to tell Xiao Yao about this cruel fact—so she nodded and answered, “Yes, brother . I'm actually Tang Xi . I'm sorry for lying to you all this while . ”

Hearing her calling him 'brother', Xiao Yao almost couldn't suppress his heartfelt pain . He froze and gazed at Tang Xi . Yes, even if she was Tang Xi, she was now Xiao Rou who was his sister . He could only be her brother in his life . His heart ached, but soon he told himself that fortunately, she was still alive even though she had to live as Xiao Rou .

Xiao Jing's reflex arc was relatively long and thus it took quite a while before he pointed at Tang Xi in astonishment and exclaimed, “So you have so many special abilities not because you're clever or a genius, but because you're Tang Xi!”

Tang Xi replied with a shrug, “Jing, even though I'm Tang Xi, I'm still a genius,” then with a grin, she finished, “I'm smarter than you . You can't deny this . ”

Blech… Xiao Jing almost vomited blood . What kind of sister did he have? And why did he have such a sister?

The corner of Xiao Sa's eyes twitched . He looked blankly at Tang Xi, then at Qiao Liang, and finally at his two brothers, asking, “So, what are you going to do now?”

Xiao Sa finally knew why Tang Xi was able to speak fluent French back in that French restaurant and why she was confident that she could be admitted into University A within a year . As far as he knew, Tang Xi was the pride of the whole Empire Group . She had received her MBA from Harvard University when graduating from Capital University, and she was proficient in a dozen different languages…

Qiao Liang asked coldly, “Do you want Xixi to come home with me now?”

Although he was eager to stay with her, he knew that Tang Xi wouldn't agree . She got along well with the Xiao Family people, and he could tell that she liked her family very much . But if they alienated her because of her identity as Tang Xi, he would…

“Of course not!” The Xiao brothers exclaimed with one voice . Xiao Jing glared at Qiao Liang as he said righteously, “Rourou is our sister . Why should she go back with you?”

Tang Xi smiled . From this, she could feel the shift in Xiao Yao's mind . She truly appreciated that Xiao Yao didn't say anything unacceptable at this point, and was even more grateful that they still believed her so much even after coming to know the truth .

They sat by the river for another two hours, after which they had almost sobered up . Qiao Liang took a look at his watch and then sent them back . Xiao Jing laughed along the way, saying, “Oh, Qiao Liang, I never expected that a day would come when you would have to call me Third Elder Brother . This is truly karma!”

Xiao Jing had been acting complacent ever since he learned Tang Xi's true identity . He wanted to laugh out loud at the thought that Qiao Liang would have to gain their consent in order to marry Tang Xi .

Qiao Liang scowled and glared at Tang Xi, who shrugged in response, looking so innocent . She asked, “Do you want me to die?” She thought she might have to choose between death and rebirth in Xiao Rou's body .

Qiao Liang fell silent . If he had to choose between fawning on Xiao Jing or Tang Xi dying, he would definitely choose the former . He looked at Xiao Jing from the rearview mirror, gritting his teeth and warning, “Be careful! You just wait and see . ”

“Hahaha…” Xiao Jing shook his head and laughed . “Okay, I'll see!”

He was sitting between Xiao Yao and Xiao Jing . When Qiao Liang saw his smug smile from the rearview mirror, he snorted, suddenly stepped on the gas and turned the steering wheel . Xiao Yao immediately grasped hold of the handrail, as did Xiao Sa . Tang Xi also grabbed the handrail and shot a dark look at Qiao Liang . Caught off guard and having no handrail to grab because he sat in the middle, Xiao Jing suddenly fell on top of Xiao Sa . As Qiao Liang turned the steering wheel again, he was thrown back onto Xiao Yao . He broke out into curses . Qiao Liang sneered and turned the steering wheel harder . After countless turns, Qiao Liang suddenly braked and Xiao Jing, staring ahead wide-eyed, was jolted from the middle seat towards the front with a bang and almost bumped into the console of the car .

Xiao Jing was about to curse Qiao Liang when he suddenly felt sick . He opened the door in such a hurry that he couldn't even wait for Xiao Yao to get out of the way; he jumped over him and got out of the car, rushing to the roadside and starting to vomit under a tree .

Qiao Liang opened the door to get out of the car, leaned against the hood, looked at the miserably vomiting Xiao Jing and sneered, “Satisfied?”

Xiao Jing hugged the tree he had thrown up all over as he looked up and angrily pointed at Qiao Liang, saying, “Qiao Liang, you know what, you're not going to marry my sister!”

Qiao Liang shrugged nonchalantly and replied, “That's not up to you . ”

They drank until midnight, stayed in the central park for two hours and messed around on the road, so by the time Qiao Liang sent them home it was already six o'clock in the morning and the sky was already getting bright . Xiao Hongli was jogging in the garden when he saw them return, following which he stopped and scolded them with a frown, “Xiao Sa, Xiao Jing, don't you two know your brother and sister were just discharged from the hospital and need a good rest? How could you take them out and play all night long!”

Qiao Liang got off the car and said hello to Xiao Hongli . When the latter saw Qiao Liang, he paused and then came up to him with a smile on his face, saying, “Oh, Qiao Liang, why are you here? I heard you were abroad recently . ”

Qiao Liang also smiled and said hello to him . “I received a phone call from Xiao Jing, and he said they couldn't drive because they drank, so I stopped by to pick them up . ”

Xiao Jing glared at Qiao Liang, wondering how he could be so cheeky! He was talking through his hat! Then he glanced at Tang Xi, who had been deceiving them for months, and pursed his lips, thinking they really made a perfect match, both being good at making up lies .

Tang Xi greeted Xiao Hongli with a yawn and then said, “I'm going upstairs to bed . Don't disturb me . ”

As she passed Xiao Hongli, he caressed Tang Xi's head and said lovingly, “Go back and have a good rest . Go to school tomorrow . ”

Tang Xi smiled at Xiao Hongli sweetly without looking back at Qiao Liang . Unwilling to apart from her, Qiao Liang watched her go upstairs . How could this girl leave without saying goodbye to him?

Xiao Jing snorted triumphantly, saying, “I'm going upstairs to bed too . ”

Xiao Yao said to Qiao Liang, “Thank you, President Qiao . See ya . ”

Xiao Sa also waved goodbye to Qiao Liang .
