Seeing Tang Xi took Lin Ru into her room, Yang Jingxian raised her eyebrows. “Did something happen?”

Xiao Yao looked at their back and frowned. “Ning Yan said some news about Tao Yan and her family last night. Perhaps it’s for that matter.”

Grandpa Xiao frowned when he heard him mention Tao Yan. He couldn’t bear this woman at all, so he didn’t show up even when she almost killed Lin Ru. Fortunately, that matter was solved in the end. He put down the newspaper in his hand and took a look at Xiao Yao. “What news?”

“Rourou asked me to have Tao Yan and her family transferred to another detention house, and I did as she asked.” Xiao Yao said.

Although he shouldn’t use his status for personal interests, those people were evil indeed. He didn’t have to sympathize with them.

Yang Jingxian took a look at Xiao Yao. “Transferred to another detention house? Why?”

“It’s said that Tao Yan has some powerful person behind her and that person is trying to get them out of the jail. I think Rourou did this to stop them from being released.”

Yang Jingxian shook her head. “I have a feeling that it’s not that simple. If Rourou doesn’t want them to be released, she can turn to your grandfather or father for help and doesn’t have to ask you to do this, unless...” Yang Jingxian took a look at Grandpa Xiao and said, “unless that person is of equal power with us.”

Tang Xi took Lin Ru into her room, beckoned her to sit down in the red-wood chair and looked at her solemnly. Seeing her look, Lin Ru took her hand and asked gently, “What happened? Why do you look so nervous? Is there something wrong with your company? Do you need my help?”

Tang Xi shook her head and Lin Ru smiled. “Don’t be ashamed to tell me. I’m your mother. You’re still a green hand in management and your company is just founded. It’s not a shame to ask me for advice.”

Tang Xi felt warm at Lin Ru’s words, but now it wasn’t the right time to talk about this. She said to Lin Ru solemnly, “Mom, if Tao Yan stole you because you’re the daughter of a man whom she loved but couldn’t get, will you hate that man?”

Lin Ru looked at her in shock and then she smiled. “It has been so many years. Just let it pass. The one I should hate is Tao Yan, not anyone else.”

Tang Xi looked at her and pursed her lips. Then she took out a pile of newspapers from her suitcase and handed them to Lin Ru. “This is the evidence that your parents have been looking for you. For all these years, they have been searching for you, every minute, but they couldn’t find you.”

Lin Ru looked at the yellowing newspaper and frowned. Then she looked at Tang Xi, asking, “Where did you get these newspapers?”

“Mom, that’s not important. What’s important is that you might be the daughter of Tang Zhenhua, the president of the Empire Group, and Tao Yan is probably Qin Luo, Qin Yue’s sister who ran away from home.” Tang Xi grabbed Lin Ru’s hands and said word by word, “So as long as you make a DNA identification with President Tang, we can make sure whether you are his daughter.”

Lin Ru remained expressionless, but her hands were trembling. She stared at Tang Xi blankly and tears ran down from her face. “Rourou, can I still find my parents?”

Tang Xi looked into her eyes and nodded firmly. “I met Qin Xinying, granddaughter of Qin Luo today. She and her grandfather went to the detention house to visit Tao Yan, so I’m sure that Tao Yan is Qin Luo. If you were stolen by Qin Luo, then the girl Tang Zhenhua and his wife had been looking for must be you.”

Lin Ru shook her head in disbelief. “I... How can...”

Tang Xi said to her gently, “Mom, even I was swapped by them. They probably did the same vicious thing to you...” Tang Xi relaxed her hands, stood up and said firmly, “I’m sure you’re Tang Ya, daughter of Tang Zhenhua who was stolen by Qin Luo.”

Evil people were born evil, but some of them would become less evil as they grew older, whereas the rest of them would be increasingly vicious as time went by. However, Qin Luo was the exception. She had been so evil since she was born!

Lin Ru still couldn’t believe what she heard. “But I still can’t believe it...”

Tang Xi took a breath. She wasn’t sure at first, because this was simply incredible. She became Xiao Rou. Grandpa found her via Qiao Liang and recognized she was actually his granddaughter. And then she put on skin mask to disguise as Tang Xi and went back to the capital. Now she shuttled between City A and the capital and switched between the two identities.

Then she heard about the story of Grandpa and Grandma, and then...

It all seemed so coincidental, yet so predestined...

If Grandma wasn’t reincarnated in another woman’s body, Grandpa wouldn’t have believed that the same thing had happened to her. If Grandpa hadn’t told her the story between him and Grandma, she wouldn’t have known about Qin Luo. If she hadn’t met Qin Xinying in the detention house today, she wouldn’t have associated Tao Yan with Qin Luo.

And she wouldn’t have guessed that her present mother was actually her aunt that she had been looking for.

If her guess was right, she would follow every single instruction of 008 in the future and turn herself into a person who 008 wanted her to become.

Because she was so grateful for 008.

“I don’t know how to contact Mr.Tang and talk to him about this matter. Perhaps he has given up looking for his daughter. Now he has aged and is old. If I just pop up out of nowhere and go to him, it might cause unnecessary troubles so I’d better not bother him. Yes, I’d better not.”
