Xu Xingqiao frowned, looking hurt: "Do you think I'm faking it?"
“I overheard your conversation with someone else in the restroom and tried to damage my reputation, but now you’ve successfully fallen for me? Mr. Xu, you’re quite the character.”
Her sarcastic tone startled Xu Xingqiao.
She actually heard that?
Then, they turned the tables and lured him into the trap.
"I've never liked nonsense. Tell me, who exactly is behind this, trying to get you to harm me?"
After being exposed, Xu Xingqiao's face flushed red and then turned pale. She remained silent, unsure of what to say.
Tang Yaoyao curled her lips into a playful smile: "Weren't you just being all lovey-dovey with me? How come you don't like me anymore now?"
These words were a huge irony to him; his cheeks burned as if he had been slapped hard.
In hindsight, I realized that what I had just done made me look like a clown.
Tang Yaoyao licked her lips, her voice low and dangerously cold: "Did you think I wouldn't know who you were just because you didn't speak?"
“I’ve already said it, I did all of this by myself, it has nothing to do with anyone else.” Xu Xingqiao looked at her, emphasizing this sentence.
"Don't take me for a fool. When you came in just now, the expectation and disappointment in your eyes weren't an act. Do you think this person behind the scenes would actually come to see you?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Xingqiao's back stiffened, and his face turned somewhat pale.
"Let me think, who could this person be?"
Tang Yaoyao's nonchalant voice was like a knife, slowly torturing him, causing him immense pain.
"Oh, it must be a woman."
Sure enough, Xu Xingqiao's eyes flickered for a moment before returning to normal. Although it was only for a split second, she still saw it clearly.
What a woman.
Foxes are cunning, and their favorite thing to do is to deceive people.
She started her serious deception again: "It's okay if you don't tell me, anyway I've already found her out. But it's really funny that you thought I wouldn't notice anything. You even sent someone to check on you yesterday. Xu Xingqiao, do you really think I'm stupid?"
Xu Xingqiao looked at her in disbelief.
Seeing his expression, Tang Yaoyao knew she was right. She then gently curled her lips and said, "One is accused of intentional injury, and the other of instigating it from behind. There's no evidence. Even if this person is exposed, there's no way to convict them. She must have been certain of this before sending someone to see you."
"Tang Yaoyao, I did this all by myself. If you want revenge, come at me."
"They really know how to protect you." Tang Yaoyao shrugged and said, "Fine, don't admit it then. Seven years in prison, just you wait."
Xu Xingqiao's eyes were bloodshot, and he wanted nothing more than to pounce on her and beat her up: "If you dare to touch a hair on her head, I will definitely kill you when I get out of prison."
"Yeah?"
Tang Yaoyao raised an eyebrow, asked softly, and then smiled, her smile as beautiful as a flower, with a hint of intrigue: "Then I'll wait for you to come and kill me."
Xu Xingqiao was so angry that she felt a tightness in her chest, unable to breathe properly, and it was very uncomfortable.
Seeing his reaction, Tang Yaoyao's smile became even more charming. She slowly and deliberately advised him, "Don't rush, don't be angry. I'm the most merciful person when it comes to women. I won't take her life. At most, I'll let her live a lonely and helpless life and regret her actions."
The implication was that he wanted to make her suffer a fate worse than death.
Xu Xingqiao suddenly panicked. He dared not gamble; his sister was his only sister in the world.
What should we do if something really happens to Jiajia?
His voice softened considerably: "What do you want in return for letting her go?"
"Of course, it's about giving them a taste of their own medicine."
"You dare?!" Xu Xingqiao glared at her angrily.
Tang Yaoyao laughed: "Why wouldn't you dare? Before you laid a hand on me, didn't you ever consider whether I dared or not, hmm?"
Xu Xingqiao looked into the glint in her eyes, cunning yet bright; she was capable of anything.
Suddenly, he remembered what Jiajia had told him.
Xiao Jinhan's parents died trying to save him.
Since that's the case, and Jiajia has been kind to Xiao Jinhan, he will never allow Tang Yaoyao to act recklessly.
She would never dare to be an enemy of Xiao Jinhan; that would be suicide.
Xiao Jinhan owes them a debt, and they should repay him with their lives. In the future, Jiajia will be the fourth young mistress of the Xiao family, so how could she be retaliated against?
As Xu Xingqiao thought about it, his restless heart gradually calmed down. He looked at her coldly and said, "Tang Yaoyao, if you dared to touch her, you would have done it already. Why would you come here and say these things to me? You don't dare."
"That sounds familiar... Oh, you said the same thing to me on set before."
Xu Xingqiao's face stiffened. It was indeed true. As soon as he said it, she screamed and ran out.
"Then this time, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you again."
After saying that, Tang Yaoyao stood up and smiled, "Goodbye, don't be sad, we'll meet again, and I'll definitely bring you good news then."
Xu Xingqiao looked at the smile on her lips, which was both bloodthirsty and playful, and felt a chill run down his spine.
But he firmly believed that Xiao Jinhan would protect Jiajia, and without evidence, he would not believe that Jiajia had harmed her.
He replied coldly, "We'll never see each other again."
Tang Yaoyao smiled gently: "Then we'll wait and see."
After that, she turned and walked out without lingering for a moment.
As he reached the door, his eyes gradually turned wicked, and he lazily curved his lips into a smile, his posture somewhat languid, yet concealing a subtle sense of danger.
She probably knew who had instructed Xu Xingqiao to harm her.
Now we just need to double-check.
She played with her slender fingers, her smile radiant.
This hand hasn't been slapped in a long time, it's getting itchy. This time, I'm going to give it a good slap.
"Brother Ziyi, let's go."
"Um."
Forty minutes later, Tang Yaoyao returned to the villa.
From afar, you could see Uncle He instructing a girl on what to do.
She strode over and politely greeted, "Uncle He."
"Miss Tang is back." Uncle He said with a gentle smile.
Where is Xu Jiajia?
Uncle He's heart skipped a beat, and he was a little worried: "Her leg hasn't healed yet, and she's been staying in her room these past few days. Did Miss Tang need to see her about something?"
Tang Yaoyao's smile was very friendly, and you couldn't tell that she had come to settle scores with her: "It is some private matter, but there is something I want to ask you."
Uncle He frowned slightly, feeling a little flustered.
Could it be that the girl did something bad again?
"Is it convenient for you now, Uncle He?" Tang Yaoyao's voice remained polite, and her smile was very sweet.
Uncle He nodded, walked to the side with her, and then asked, "What is it?"
Tang Yaoyao narrowed her eyes slightly: "I heard that you are Xu Jiajia's maternal uncle?"
Uncle He's expression softened slightly: "Yes."
When Xu Jiajia was very young, her parents passed away in an accident. Did her parents leave her with any other relatives?
She carefully examined Xu Xingqiao's features and found they bore a resemblance to Xu Jiajia.
Xu Xingqiao, Xu Jiajia...
The two people share the same surname; perhaps they are related by blood?
