Tang Xi looked up at Xiao Hongyi coldly and said angrily, “No! It’s not enough! Far from enough! And you! I asked you to take care of her, but why did she become like this? I’ve told you that I’ll handle those things and you just need to take care of my mother. But what did you do in the end? How do you have the cheek to yell at me?”

Xiao Hongyi, looking at Tang Xi with an embarrassed look, paused, pursed his lips and said, “I didn’t expect that those policemen suddenly asked your mother about the relationship between Lin Jiao and Xiao Jinning, and mentioned you.”

Tang Xi took a deep breath, closes her eyes, then opened them and said softly, “Sorry, I was so furious just now.”

Xiao Hongyi froze, shook her head hurriedly and said, “No, no, I didn’t take good care of your mother.”

Tang Xi sat down on a sofa nearby and said to Xiao Hongyi in a low voice, “I want to stay with Mom alone. Can you go out for a while? I won’t say anything bad to stimulate her.”

Xiao Hongyi looked at Lin Ru with a worried look. Tears came out of the corner of her eyes, but she still nodded to Xiao Hongyi and Xiao Hongyi could only leave.

Tang Xi, sitting on the sofa, directly started the system and contacted 008 for discussion.

Lin Ru looked sideways at Tang Xi’s every move. After a long time, she saw Tang Xi spread out her hands in worry and then frown and two bags of silver needles appeared in her hand. Then Tang Xi stood up, walked to Lin Ru’s bed and pursed her lips, “When I was sick before because I lived in the mountains, the hospital was not available so I usually went to see an old doctor proficient in traditional Chinese medicine. Every time, he would cure me with acupuncture. He treated a lot of patients, including those with strokes and paralysis, in the end it turned out thathe could cure most of them, so I learned acupuncture from him. Do you believe that I can cure you?”

Lin Ru wanted to say that you could ask your father to invite the old TCM doctor to give me acupuncture, but when she saw Tang Xi’s sincere eyes, she nodded unconsciously.

Seeing her nod, Tang Xi smiled and said confidently, “Mom, you can rest assured. I will cure you.”

Tang Xi followed the reminding of 008 to find the acupuncture points on Lin Ru’s body, and inserted the silver needles into them one by one. Tang Xi was relieved until she used the whole two bags of silver needles. She was surprised to find that the two bags of silver needles were just enough. Looking at the silver needles covering Lin Ru’s body, Tang Xi asked 008 with some uncertainty, “Will acupuncture really work?”

[System: (arrogant face) Don’t use it if you don’t believe me.

Tang Xi hurriedly flattered him: “I believe you. Of course I believe you. You’re the awesome 008. How can I not believe you, right?”

[System: that’s more like it.]

[System: A warm reminder: as the patient’s brain was stimulated too seriously, and then her body was severely injured too, acupuncture therapy can’t work in a day or two. The treatment shall last for at least a month or so. Then she’ll be able to get out of bed and walk normally, and move freely in two weeks.]

Tang Xi was angry when she heard that Lin Ru couldn’t be cured until over a month later. Which policeman was so stupid as to come to the hospital to record the confession! She’ll definitely file a complaint against him!

Forty minutes later, Tang Xi pulled out the silver needles on Lin Ru’s body and let Xiao Hongyi come in. When he came in, Tang Xi noticed the exhausted look on Xiao Hongyi’s face. Tang Xi pursed her lips, looked at Lin Ru lying in the bed and said softly, “Please go through the discharge formalities for mom. It’s useless for her to stay in the hospital. You’re the chairman of the Xiao’s Group, you can’t be absent from work all the time. After bringing mom home, please take a good rest and then go to work.”

Xiao Hongyi frowned. “Do you mean to give up treating her?” Xiao Hongyi seemed to find something after staring at Tang Xi and said angrily, “Rourou, I know your mom treated you unfairly before, but you can’t give up on her!”

Hearing his words, Tang Xi frowned but didn’t want to explain anything, so she just said coldly, “I said, bring her home.”

Xiao Hongyi thundered, “Xiao Rou, I tell you it’s ok if you don’t want to acknowledge us and it doesn’t matter that you hate us. Go out! I’ll take care of your mom. We...”

“Xiao Hongyi!” Tang Xi interrupted Xiao Hongyi angrily, then looked up at Xiao Hongyi and sneered. “What can you do here? Will my mother recover by staying here? I want her to go back home because I can cure her. Can you promise me that she’ll recover staying here?”

Xiao Hongyi opened his mouth and wanted to refute. Suddenly, he realized what Tang Xi had just said. He looked at Tang Xi hesitantly and asked, “Did you just say you could cure your mother?”

Tang Xi nodded. “Yes, I’ll move in with you for some time, and I’ll stay with you until I cure her.”

Xiao Hongyi still couldn’t believe Tang Xi’s words and asked in surprise, “Are you serious? Can your mother recover?”

Tang Xi frowned. “Do you have a better way to let her recover as soon as possible?”

“Ok, I’ll go to handle the discharge formalities.” Without saying a word, Xiao Hongyi turned and walked outside the ward, and Tang Xi could see from his staggered steps that he was very excited.

Tang Xi, who had been in a bad mood, smiled and looked at Lin Ru sideways with a slight smile. “Though you have a miserable childhood, god is fair to give you a husband who loves you so much, a smart son and me, a capable daughter,” she said.

When Lin Ru heard Tang Xi’s words, she gave a faint smile. After Xiao Hongyi came back, Tang Xi said she was going back to Xiao Hongli’s home.

She promised Yang Jingxian to go back for lunch, so she would definitely do it.

As soon as Tang Xi walked out of the ward, her cellphone rang. She looked at this familiar yet strange phone number and frowned. Why did Qin Xinying call her... And how did she know her phone number?

Tang Xi hesitated for a moment before picking up the phone. Before she spoke, Qin Xinying’s voice rang out. “Xiao Rou, are you in the hospital? Have you seen how your mother is? This is what Tang Xi is capable of, so you’d better take my advice, to give up on Qiao Liang. You can’t resist Tang Xi’s attacks. She’ll get everything she wants at all costs. Besides, she never cares about other people’s lives. Your mother becomes like this, because she asked that policemen to stimulate your mom on purpose. Are you really willing to see your loved ones suffer just for a man who doesn’t love you?”

Listening to Qin Xinying’s shameless slander, Tang Xi gave a self-deprecating smile and soon a cold gleam flickered across her eyes. She said coldly, “Qin Xinying, I won’t let you off.”
