Strike Back, Proud Goddess! Chapter 90

Yang Jingxian finally looked a little better and she nodded and said, “What you said makes sense . Regardless of how Rourou was doing in our house in the last two months, she was hurt in your house, which you can't deny and forget . ”

Lin Ru sighed and replied with a nod, “We know that . We've driven Xiao… Yao Jinning out of our house and Shengda is terminating the contract with her . You can rest assured . Yao Jinning won't be able to hurt Rourou anymore . ”

Yang Jingxian smiled . “Are you really willing to do this?”

Lin Ru sensed a touch of irony in Yang Jingxian's tone, but she didn't say anything . If it was before, she would have retorted against her . She had never liked this celebrity sister-in-law of hers because she always felt Yang Jingxian behaved in a condescending manner in front of her, so she never yielded to Yang Jingxian . However, she couldn't behave like that today . She knew that if she wanted to get his daughter's forgiveness, she must not quarrel with Yang Jingxian .

With this thought in mind, Lin Ru forced a smile and said, “I was really blind . I didn't know my daughter suffered so much while I was keeping a viper by my side . I deserved to be bitten back at . But now I just want to see Xiao Rou and tell her that I know the truth and I know I was wrong . ”

“In that case, you can wait for Rourou here . Jing has gone to pick her up,” Yang Jingxian said, and then added, “Her brothers have been sending her to and back from school every day since Rourou started attending . ”

Lin Ru smiled . “We know that you take care of Rourou well . ”

She had been mocked by Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa every time they saw her, and she knew they had always picked on Yao Jinning . She knew it was because of Xiao Rou, but she didn't like how they were aware of the truth yet didn't tell her .

But she couldn't say that now, and knew that she had no reason to either, because she knew that even if they had come to her and told her the truth about Yao Jinning, she would not have believed them but would have thought that they were trying to sow discord between her and Yao Jinning for Xiao Rou . Fortunately, it wasn't too late for her to find out the truth now . She still had a chance to make up for it…

The Xiao's Group President's office .

The secretary knocked on the door and went in . He looked at Xiao Yan hesitantly and said softly, “President, your sister… Miss Xiao Jinning wants to see you . ”

Xiao Yan frowned and clenched the pen in his hand . He had been on a business trip to City C yesterday and hadn't paid attention to the news . He hadn't read the news about the Xiao Family until he returned to City A this morning . How dare she still come to him?

It seemed that she had nowhere else to go?

Xiao Yan was silent for two seconds before nodding and saying, “Let her in . ”

Xiao Jinning couldn't return to the Xiao Family last night, so she had bought a suit outside to change into . She wore a mask, a hat and a pair of big sunglasses that could almost cover half of her face . Wrapped up well, she wasn't as ostentatious as usual .

She walked in and took off everything covering her face . The moment she saw Xiao Yan, she cried out in an aggrieved manner and called out softly, “Yan…”

Yang Jingxian's sons had never been close to her since their childhood, and only Xiao Yan would protect her . Now she had no support in the whole Xiao Family, so Xiao Yan who had grown up with her was her only hope .

Looking at her, Xiao Yan suddenly felt the urge to find out how the woman was going to defend herself . He frowned and asked, “Why are you dressed like this? What happened?”

Xiao Jinning was a bit surprised when she heard Xiao Yan's words . Looking carefully at Xiao Yan's face, she asked softly, “Brother, you don't know?”

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrow, got up from his chair, went to the black leather sofa in the middle of the office and sat down . Then he asked Xiao Jinning to sit down too and asked softly, “What happened? I went to City C on business yesterday and just got off the plane . ”

Xiao Jinning's eyes lit up and then quickly went dim . She said softly, “Our cousins think I took Rourou's place, so they slandered me in front of Chengyu, Mom and Dad . They all misunderstood me and have driven me out of home . Only you can help me now . ”

Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows . As he had expected, she put the blame on the Xiao brothers . This woman was really… shameless!

Xiao Yan asked, “Was it wrong?”

As Xiao Yan's reaction was not what she expected, Xiao Jinning didn't know what to say . She looked at Xiao Yan doubtfully and made a puzzled sound . “Hmm?”

Xiao Yan leaned back, looked into Xiao Jinning's eyes and once again asked coldly, “Was it wrong for them to drive you out of home?”

Xiao Jinning became flustered and replied earnestly, “Yan, I don't understand what you are talking about! I'm your sister . I belong to the Xiao Family . ”

“You're not . ” Xiao Yan chuckled and looked at Xiao Jinning, saying, “Did you forget it? You are not the biological daughter of Mom and Dad . ”

His words seemed to have dealt a big blow to her; she gawked at Xiao Yan, asking, “Yan, why are you saying this…”

“Did I say anything wrong?” Xiao Yan gave a mocking smile before continuing, “If I were you, I would have left after finding out my true identity, returned to Xiao Rou what belongs to her, and held a press conference to tell the truth to the world . That way, you would not only have gotten a reputation for being generous, but you would have also gained the support of your fans . Besides that, you would have gotten my mother's help because she would have felt guilty towards you, and then your career would have scaled to new heights . ”

Xiao Jinning finally understood Xiao Yan was trying to say, and there was a twinge of hatred in her eyes as she said, “It turns out that you wanted me to leave the Xiao Family as soon as Xiao Rou came back, right?”

Xiao Yan sneered, “You finally get it . Good for you . ”

“Why should I leave?” Unconvinced, Xiao Jinning glared at Xiao Yan who was sitting opposite idly and with a faintly mocking smile on his face . “I have been the daughter of the Xiao Family since I was born . Why do you want me to leave?”

“I don't care . ” Xiao Yan smiled . “What I want is a sister with blood relations to me, not a scheming girl who is not related to me by blood . Do you understand?”

Xiao Jinning stood up abruptly, crying out, “You already knew about it!”

Xiao Yan replied with a smile, “So what?”

“You're just making fun of me!” Xiao Jinning glared at Xiao Yan viciously and shouted, “You're all waiting to see how miserable I will become, but I won't let you win!”
