Qin Xinying looked blankly at Tang Zhenhua. It had been quite a while before she said in disbelief, “But Grandpa, that woman walked her school’s red carpet in Xixi’s dress that must have been gifted to Qiao Liang by Xixi. How could Qiao Liang...”

Although there wasn’t any media in that art performance, it was widely known on the Microblogs that Xiao Rou, in that red dress, stunned everyone with her beauty that night and many people admired her as the most beautiful red carpet belle. Qin Xinying had seen those photos and recognized that the red dress was designed by Tang Xi. Although she couldn’t remember it clearly, she was sure she had seen that dress in Tang Xi’s design album! If that dress wasn’t made by Tang Xi, it must be made by Qiao Liang according to Tang Xi’s design drawings!

But that country bumpkin was in that dress!

“That’s enough.” Tang Zhenhua looked at Qin Xinying and frowned. “Now that Xixi has given it to Qiao Liang, it’s his now. He can give it to anyone. I don’t want to hear anyone mention it anymore, including Tang Xi!”

Qin Xinying looked at Tang Zhenhua in astonishment. It had been quite a while before she successfully suppressed her emotions and looked at Tang Zhenhua with a smile. “I was too worried about Xixi, so I lost control. Sorry, Grandpa, I was not acting like myself.”

Tang Zhenhua looked at Qin Xinying who was sincerely apologizing to him and smiled as he said, “Okay, go back, or if you still want to talk to the girl who took Xixi’s dress, you can wait for her here. I’ll leave first.”

With that, he closed the car door without looking back. Qin Xinying thought of her purpose, and hurriedly knocked on the window. Tang Zhenhua rolled down the window and looked at her. Qin Xinying gave a sweet smile, and said a bit shyly, “Grandpa, my father asked me to ask you when your investment capital will be transferred to our company’s account?”

A cold gleam flashed through Tang Zhenhua’s eyes so quickly that Qin Xinying didn’t notice it. He smiled kindly. “Hasn’t the money been transferred yet? I’ll call the finance department to urge them to work out the contract asap, then I’ll send someone to the Qin’s Group to sign the contract, and then the money will be transferred to your company’s account. Don’t worry.”

As soon as he said this, he closed the window. Butler Tang started the car and couldn’t help pounding the steering wheel, cursing angrily, “Those bastards! How dare they track and monitor you?!”

Tang Zhenhua sneered and looked from the rear-view mirror at Qin Xinying who was waving her hand and saying goodbye to him, and said indifferently, “I’m afraid they’re not just monitoring me. Fire all the servants after we get home. How about the matters I asked the finance department to do?”

“You can rest assured, Master. They told me they were almost done.” Butler Tang smiled when he mentioned this. “The Qin’s Group is doomed this time. They will disappear in at most two months.”

Tang Zhenhua grunted. “Don’t let them find a single trace of this, in case they use it to turn the tables.”

“Don’t worry, Master. They will never be able to turn the tables against us.” Butler Tang smiled as he glanced out of the rear-view mirror. The car cornered and left the school. “This Miss Qin is really shameless. How can she lie to you like that?”

“Tang Zhong.” Tang Zhenhua took a look at Butler Tang and said, “Remember, a liar will always lie. Never believe a single word she says.”

Butler Tang nodded, looked at Tang Zhenhua and asked in surprise, “Why were you so kind to that Miss Xiao Rou...”

Tang Zhenhua looked at Tang Zhong again and raised his eyebrows. “That girl is innocent. She didn’t know Xixi had died, nor did she know what kind of a person Qiao Liang was. She only knew Qiao Liang respected me as much as his own grandfather, so she treated me as kindly as if I was her grandfather. I’m so much older than her. How can I bully a kid? People will laugh at me if I do that.”

“But you were so angry at that dress thing...” Butler Tang looked at Tang Zhenhua ponderingly.

Tang Zhenhua sighed, raised his hand to stop Butler Tang from continuing, and sighed, “Forget it. Xixi has gone and I don’t hate this girl. Let it be. By the way, investigate the daily chemical company of the Xiao’s Group and submit to me an investment proposal.”

Butler Tang looked at Tang Zhenhua in surprise and the latter said, “Book a restaurant. I’ll have dinner with that girl this evening.”

Butler Tang was even more surprised. Did Master come to give that girl a hard time or back her up?

On this side, although Qin Xinying was not satisfied with Tang Zhenhua’s attitude towards Xiao Rou, she was happy that Tang Zhenhua finally confirmed that he would invest in the Qin’s Group. After seeing Tang Zhenhua’s car speed off, she hurriedly took out her cell phone and called her father. “I’ve fixed it.” With that, she lowered her eyes to look at her right hand. Even the long sleeves couldn’t cover the plaster cast on it.

Qin Xinying gnashed her teeth when she saw her right hand. Damn you, Xiao Jing! I’ll avenge myself one day!

Qin Xinying’s father laughed out loud on the line when he heard this. He said, “By the way, I’ve found two more design drawings for you, and I’ve sent them to your email box. You can use them for Paris Fashion Week.”

Qin Xinying was glad to hear this news. She smiled and hung up the phone before getting in the car and turning on her laptop. After checking the works in her inbox, she sent them to Vivian in satisfaction, and typed, “These are my previous works I have just found. If you think they’re okay, please make the dresses based off of them. By the way, I’d like to ask for a day off.”

Tang Xi didn’t expect that she would finish the exam by the afternoon. She looked at Ning Ke who was also taking the exam. The corner of her mouth twitched and she asked casually, “What do you think of the exam?”

Ning Ke smiled at Tang Xi. “If you think it’s easy, I think I can handle it too.”

Tang Xi chuckled. “Really? Then I’d like to congratulate you in advance. I gotta go. See you tomorrow.”

Ning Ke gazed at her receding figure and smiled happily. “See you tomorrow, Xiao Rou!”

Tang Xi waved at him, and walked out of the school carrying the bag. She had a hunch that she would pass the exam, and she believed she would get good news tomorrow.

But her joy didn’t last long when she saw a person standing in her way. Tang Xi looked at this person and gave a sarcastic smile.
