Chapter 119 I Want to Be Big Fat
One of the men suddenly opened his eyes, his bloodshot pupils glaring fiercely at them!
"Little girl, what do you know!"
"He's just saying nice things, otherwise why did he choose to find five guest performers right after Lisa broke her leg!"
"After Lisa's accident, he acted as if nothing had happened and never inquired about her injuries!"
"Today it's Lisa, tomorrow it'll be us. Isn't this what you Chinese call 'the lips are extinguished'..."
He paused halfway through his accusation, his face turning slightly red.
Tu Yao blinked and explained for him, "If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold; if the rabbit dies, the fox will grieve?"
The man immediately continued, "Yes!"
Tu Yao's gaze towards the two of them changed.
...You foreigners have such a mysterious obsession with Chinese idioms.
Tu Yao: "Because of this layer of distrust, it is so easy for others to sow discord."
She thought for a moment, "So that person gave you a lot of money?"
"I don't have much money!"
Tu Yao: "So this person really did exist."
The two: ...
A haughty judgment suddenly flashed in the man's eyes: "But we don't need much money!"
"We want Cormier to experience what we'll suffer in the future!"
Tu Yao's expression was complicated, and for a moment she was somewhat relieved that Cormier wasn't there.
"...So you are persecuting Cormier, who has done nothing and still considers you your friend, for an unknown outcome."
"That's not the unknown, that's a given fact!"
Tu Yao felt a tightness in her chest and skipped this part.
"So you really aren't doing this for the money?"
The man seemed somewhat embarrassed and angry: "Hey! Listen, we don't want a lot of money! We're not short of money!"
Tu Yao ignored his anger: "You didn't pay much money, yet you dare to do bad things in our country. So the other party has prepared an easy way for you to get out, making you even more emboldened, right?"
"If you manage to escape the concert hall, they can arrange your departure, so that person must be very powerful, right?"
The two of them froze instantly.
Before he could continue arguing, the girl turned to look at Madam Jiang and raised her hand, saying, "Alright, I've asked the question."
The two: ...
Madam Jiang's gaze was already deep; she did not express her opinion, but instead looked at the two of them.
He said, "I know Lisa. The first thing Cormier asked me to do when he returned to the country was to find an orthopedic doctor."
"He begged me to make sure she was fully recovered."
Upon hearing this, the two men were instantly stunned.
"...Then why didn't he tell us?"
"The probability of full recovery is less than 20%, what's the point of telling you this in advance?"
"impossible!"
The two immediately denied it and tried to step forward to ask for clarification, but were immediately stopped by the bodyguards!
Madam Jiang had already turned her gaze away and looked at Tu Yao.
His gaze was even sharper than before.
Her voice was slightly somber: "You see, they seem to be having some regrets now, don't they?"
Tu Yao, not understanding, nodded slightly.
The old lady smoothed her hair and naturally posed the next question.
"So, if they regret it, do you think they should be forgiven?"
Beside him, Xu Chi frowned almost imperceptibly as he looked at Madam Jiang.
The old woman continued to scrutinize the girl.
Tu Yao slowly shook her head.
"Some people are unforgivable."
The old woman continued, "Why?"
Tu Yao pursed her lips: "I just asked a bodyguard what the consequences would be if they succeeded. He said that once the switch is cut, the stage will drop three meters."
"Now is the time for the audience to enter. If they succeed, there will definitely be audience members who get injured."
"They did not respect Mr. Cormier's trust and friendship, nor did they respect life."
People who have no reverence for life are terrifying.
Even if one suddenly repents, it is utterly worthless.
Unlike Nanko and the other students, there was no room for them and Cormier to become good friends.
Madam Jiang remained silent for a long time; up to this point, the child had already given her enough surprises.
The old lady waved her hand, and the bodyguards immediately understood. They grabbed the two men who were still trying to come forward and took them away.
She looked at the group of young children again, and finally, reached out her slightly thin hand and patted the girl in front of her.
He said softly, "I'll tell you the final result after everything is settled."
"It's up to you to cheer for Cormier."
Tu Yao nodded and waved to her: "Goodbye."
With Madam Chiang gone, the concert hall felt even more empty.
Tu Yao let out a long sigh, but her expression suddenly became somewhat heavy.
Tu Chaoxi asked softly, "What's wrong?"
“…Brother, Little Brother, Xiao Chi.”
Tu Yao murmured, "...I miss Da Pang."
Tu Chaoxi felt a pang of sadness and pulled the person into her arms.
His sister possessed the best and purest friendship in the world, yet she witnessed firsthand how a decades-long friendship was eroded by self-interest and the dark side of human nature.
Tu Chaoxi blurted out, "Do you want me to go back with you tomorrow?"
Tu Yao shook her head and said sullenly, "Not tomorrow..."
There are still some things she hasn't figured out, and some important things she hasn't done.
Thinking of something, Tu Yao checked the time. One second she was a little listless, but the next second she was full of energy!
She quickly wriggled out of Tu Chaoxi's arms, excitedly exclaiming, "Quick, quick, quick!!! The concert has started!"
"Xiao Chi! Big brother, little brother, hurry up, we need to get in!"
Tu Chaoxi: ...
"Xiao Chi, have the flowers you ordered arrived yet?"
Just as I finished speaking, my phone rang.
Xu Chi glanced outside: "You go in first, I'll come over once I get it?"
Tu Yao immediately nodded: "Okay!"
After saying that, he grabbed one of them with each hand and ran off.
Xu Chi smiled as he watched her run into the venue, then looked away and walked straight out of the concert hall.
At the entrance of the concert hall, Madam Chiang was preparing to get into her car.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the young man outside the window and called for the car to stop.
"Chairman Xu."
Xu Chi accepted the bouquet of flowers delivered by the deliveryman and said slowly, "I am a junior, you can just call me by my name."
Madam Jiang smiled and teased, "That's called Little Pond?"
Xu Chi smiled and said, "Of course."
Madam Jiang glanced at the bouquet of fresh flowers in his hand, then carefully examined the young man in front of her.
Xu Qishan's youngest son is most adept at manipulating people's hearts. He has almost controlled all the information flow in the turbulent Hong Kong, and the same is true in Yanjing.
She stated directly: "You knew that child was their sister?"
Xu Chi raised an eyebrow and admitted, "Yes."
"The Dowager Madam also knows."
Madam Jiang nodded: "After I went back last time, I watched that variety show."
It would be easy for Madam Jiang to investigate someone.
However, compared to Xu Chi, a businessman who was keen on manipulating people's hearts, the old lady was more lenient and had a few more principles, only investigating the most superficial part.
She doesn't want people to talk about her past, and she also respects the past of these young people.
"So now the little girl has amnesia, and she doesn't know that she is the younger sister of those children?"
Xu Chi chuckled, his eyes unreadable: "...Yes, she doesn't know yet, she's actually their sister."
Grandma Jiang nodded. "She's a very special child, and she deserves so much love from so many people."
They possess a natural ability to handle problems and also have firm and self-disciplined principles.
Xu Chi was still smiling. "So, on the other hand, old lady."
"Whatever your purpose, I don't like your repeated probing of her just now."
In an instant, it felt like a gentle spring breeze, yet it was tinged with a faint sense of danger.
Madam Jiang was slightly taken aback, but after a moment, she couldn't help but laugh.
"Is it because I judged and tested her that I questioned your judgment in making friends?"
"No."
Xu Chi said calmly, "Because you questioned her."
