Uncle He continued, "If the Xiao family really killed your parents, then they do owe you something that no amount of kindness can ever make up for. But that's not the case. Can't you let the Xiao family go and let yourself go?"
"As long as he marries me, he'll have paid off his debt."
Uncle He was so angry that his chest felt tight and painful, and his voice trembled: "...You...you're completely obsessed!"
Xu Jiajia looked at him stubbornly, refusing to admit defeat or think she was wrong.
It took Uncle He a while to calm down before he returned to his previous question: "Where exactly is your brother?"
"I told you, I don't know."
Uncle He's eyes seemed to see right through her, and he coldly questioned, "Is it because you're leaving Fourth Master's manor that you don't even want to acknowledge your brother anymore?"
Xu Jiajia's eyes darted away, and she bit her lip hard: "I really don't know."
"Great, Xu Jiajia, I'll go find it myself!"
After saying that, Uncle He stormed out of the door, his face pale with anger.
He walked towards the entrance of the villa, and from afar, he saw Tang Yaoyao sitting there, holding a glass of iced drink, leisurely basking in the sun.
He walked over quickly: "Miss Tang."
Tang Yaoyao politely stood up, placed the juice on the chair, and asked softly, "Uncle He, did you get the information?"
"That girl... sigh, let's not talk about her!" Uncle He shook his head, his eyes full of disappointment and heartache.
Tang Yaoyao knew he hadn't gotten anything good out of him, so she pursed her lips and remained silent.
"Miss Tang, do you know where my sister's child is?" Uncle He asked tentatively.
Just as Tang Yaoyao was about to speak, Xiao Jinhan's car slowly drove into the manor.
The person who made the decision arrived at a rather opportune time.
Tang Yaoyao had a faint smile on her lips and said in a gentle voice, "Let's go talk to Fourth Master."
Seeing her like this, Uncle He felt a sudden unease, and a bad premonition grew stronger.
Could it be that the child has done something heinous outside?
He frowned, feeling anxious, and nodded: "I'll do as Miss Tang says."
Once in the living room, Tang Yaoyao sat on the sofa.
Her long, jade-like legs were comfortably crossed, and she leaned back lazily, her eyes slightly closed. Her posture was unrestrained and languid, much like a cat taking a midday nap, her alluring aura undiminished.
Before long, Xiao Jinhan and Jiang Ci walked in one after the other.
Tang Yaoyao slowly looked at him.
Xiao Jinhan's handsome face was covered with frost, and he seemed to be in a bad mood. Even the slivers of sunlight that streamed down could not soften him. His undeniable aura made the already tense atmosphere even more suffocating.
A man was following behind Jiang Ci.
The man was pale and disoriented; he seemed to have been terrified by Master Xiao.
Tang Yaoyao understood immediately, adopted a spectator's attitude, and slowly peeled an apple.
The room was so quiet that the sound of her peeling the apple was crisp and clear, almost like fanning the flames, sending a chill down one's spine.
She smiled lazily: "Fourth Master has guests at his house, should I excuse myself?"
"No, it's none of your business."
"oh?"
Before she finished speaking, Tang Yaoyao had already peeled the entire apple. Looking at the plump and delicious flesh, she seemed unsure where to start eating.
"Uncle He".
Uncle He's heart trembled slightly when his name was mentioned, and he nodded: "Yes."
"Go and call Xu Jiajia over." Xiao Jinhan's voice, like his aura, was devoid of any warmth.
Uncle He frowned, his mind filled with a thousand thoughts, and turned to leave.
Tang Yaoyao then took a closer look at the man in front of her. Although his clothes were not particularly luxurious, they were still designer brands. If there hadn't been any fear between his brows, he would have looked like a gentle and refined gentleman.
Unfortunately, it was just a facade; the inside was a complete mess.
The man's gaze darted around, as if he was flustered by her stare. His eyes darted around for a while, unsure of where to look. In the end, he could only lower his eyes, not daring to look anywhere.
Tang Yaoyao spoke softly, "Fourth Master, would you like an apple?"
"I won't eat."
Tang Yaoyao's alluring eyes then turned to Jiang Ci beside her, and she asked lazily, "Brother Jiang, would you like an apple?"
Jiang Ci: "..."
Is Miss Tang trying to kill him?
Fourth Master's emotions are already cold enough...
He shook his head repeatedly, "No need, no need, thank you Miss Tang."
After saying that, she secretly glanced at Master Xiao and, seeing no change in his expression, felt relieved.
Tang Yaoyao wiped the apple.
To be honest, she was just being polite and didn't intend to give it to anyone.
She's an expert at eating alone.
He took a bite and exclaimed, "Sweet!"
The man lowered his head even further.
This was the first time he had ever seen a woman act so presumptuously in front of Master Xiao; her status was unimaginable…
This time, he really tried to pull the tiger's tail.
It’s over…
Just as Tang Yaoyao had eaten half of an apple, Xu Jiajia walked in.
When she saw the man's back, a look of surprise appeared in her eyes. She slowed her pace, feeling a little scared, and dared not go any further.
Tang Yaoyao took in her subtle attitude and took another bite of the apple.
Mmm, so sweet.
Xiao Jinhan spoke up, his voice as cold as winter: "Xu Jiajia."
Xu Jiajia looked up, forcibly ignoring the coldness in his voice, and said gently with a smile, "Isn't it said that you can't go out after a medicinal bath? I don't know if it will have any impact. In the future, we should wait until the medicinal bath is over before going out, otherwise we will disappoint Miss Tang's medical skills."
Tang Yaoyao felt a chill run down her spine. If we're talking about shamelessness, she's already unmatched in the world. But now it seems her status as the number one in the world is in jeopardy.
This reproachful yet reluctant attitude, this henpecked husband's demeanor, makes him seem like a true mistress of the house, and he certainly has quite a big mouth.
The silence in the room was suffocating, especially the chilling aura emanating from Master Xiao.
But Xu Jiajia seemed oblivious, and smiled again: "We have guests at home. The kitchen staff probably don't know yet. I'll go and greet them and tell them to get ready."
Uncle He sighed, his heart filled with sorrow.
As she turned around, Xiao Jinhan spoke up: "Recognize people."
"What?" Xu Jiajia turned around.
Xiao Jinhan's deep voice rose slightly: "Do you want me to introduce you?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Jiajia continued to laugh, pretending not to recognize him: "Fourth Master, who are you talking about?"
Xiao Jinhan pinched the bridge of his nose, as if he didn't want to talk to her anymore.
At this moment, Jiang Ci spoke up: "Jiang Ye, 31 years old, editor-in-chief of Zhixin Media. He was the one who orchestrated Miss Tang's fake scandal some time ago. Miss Xu, take a closer look. Do you recognize this man?"
Xu Jiajia felt her heart was about to jump out of her throat, but she pretended not to know and shook her head.
Tang Yaoyao finally finished eating an apple and threw the core into the trash can. The slight noise she made made Xu Jiajia feel a sense of danger.
He patted his protruding belly and smiled lazily.
Oh.
It really is related to her!
