Translator: 549690339
Tang Xuan’er led Xiao Sha out of the hospital’s main entrance and stood by the roadside waiting for a car.
There was a street vendor selling grilled sausages nearby.
The rich aroma of meat made Xiao Sha stare longingly, with drool nearly dripping out.
Tang Xuan’er couldn’t help but shake her head and chuckled lightly; she knew all about Xiao Sha’s little secrets.
So whenever she saw it rolling around and acting cute for the sake of delicious food, Tang Xuan’er thought the scene was simply too bizarre.
Tang Xuan’er crouched down and whispered, “At least try to keep up some appearances; you’re a dragon, after all.”
Xiao Sha hung its head a little aggrievedly, grumbling inwardly.
It truly was a dragon, but for the hundreds of years in the Black Water Pond, what had it eaten every day!
Nothing but raw fish and wild rabbits!
Without even a pinch of salt.
You can imagine what that tasted like.
Now it had finally come to this colorful world and tasted various delicacies, wasn’t it allowed to eat a little more?
Seeing Xiao Sha like this, Tang Xuan’er felt both heartache and amusement.
“Alright, alright! Just this once, okay?”
With that, Tang Xuan’er approached the stand, “Let’s have… twenty grilled sausages, please!”
The vendor broke into a smile upon seeing Tang Xuan’er, “Miss Tang, are you buying these for the dog again? I’m telling you, you shouldn’t spoil that Pekingese too much; eating like this, it will get fat sooner or later!”
Xiao Sha thought if Tang Xuan’er weren’t around, it would certainly tear this guy’s mouth to shreds.
But with hot grilled sausages in its mouth, all the grievances dissipated like smoke.
As Xiao Sha was enjoying its food to the fullest, a man and a woman crossed the street from the opposite side.
The couple were about fifty years old, with faces full of stinging sarcasm.
Upon seeing Tang Xuan’er standing by the roadside, their eyes lit up and they hurriedly waved.
“Xuan’Er! Xuan’Er! It’s us!”
When Tang Xuan’er heard the shouting and looked up, her complexion turned pale at the sight of the couple.
By then, the two had crossed the road and come up to Tang Xuan’er.
The plump woman bared her teeth in laughter first, “Xuan’Er, I haven’t seen you in years, and look how beautiful you’ve grown?”
A flash of annoyance crossed Tang Xuan’er’s eyes, but she took a deep breath and replied softly, “Auntie!”
“Ah! Hehe, Xuan’Er, your uncle and I came specially to find you today!”
“To find me?” Tang Xuan’er frowned.
The couple was indeed Tang Xuan’er’s uncle Jiao Ying and aunt Zhu Feng.
However, Tang Xuan’er did not have a good relationship with them.
Especially a few years ago, after the accidental deaths of Tang Xuan’er’s parents, this couple used all sorts of despicable means to seize the inheritance that rightfully belonged to Tang Xuan’er.
At the time, Tang Xuan’er was too young and clueless about these matters.
By the time she came to understand things, she couldn’t be bothered to deal with such people.
Jiao Ying laughed at this moment, “Xuan’Er, you are my niece after all, and your uncle has always cared about you. You see, you’re not getting any younger; it’s time you found a good family…”
Zhu Feng continued, “Your uncle’s right. Look, the young master of the company your uncle works for saw your picture and is very interested in you!”
Jiao Ying added, “Hehe, this guy is no ordinary person; he’s from the Beijiang Deng Family. Do you know the Deng Family? A good half of all car 4S stores in Beijiang are theirs! Their assets are counted in the billions!”
Tang Xuan’er finally understood; it turned out her relatives were here to arrange a match for her!
Tang Xuan’er was so angry that her lips turned a bit white.
After years of neglect, they now treated her as though she was merchandise, wanting to sell her off?
“Sorry, I have absolutely no interest in whatever this Deng Family is,” Tang Xuan’er said coldly.
Jiao Ying was stunned by the rebuff, but Zhu Feng, thick-skinned as ever, seemed unfazed by the chilly words and, instead, wore a face full of sorrow as she spoke.
“Xuan’er, I know, it was wrong of your aunt and me to have hurt you in the past. We’ve been filled with remorse these past two years. Look, we’ve taken good care of your parents’ inheritance, just waiting to return it all to you when you get married!”
Tang Xuan’er was taken aback, “Aunt…”
Zhu Feng’s tears started to fall, “Xuan’er, please don’t be mad at us anymore. This matchmaking is only because your uncle thinks you’ve had a hard time drifting outside, and he wanted to find you a good family!”
Tang Xuan’er shook her head, “Thanks for your kindness, but I won’t be going!”
“Why?”
Tang Xuan’er clenched her silver teeth, “There’s no why; I just don’t feel like going on a blind date right now.”
Zhu Feng and Jiao Ying exchanged glances, their faces full of disappointment and resentment.
“How about this then, if you don’t want to go out, that’s fine. Let’s just meet at home, what do you say?” Zhu Feng, seeing an opportunity, quickly suggested.
“At home?”
“Yes! How about at the place you’re living now? Your uncle and I will accompany you. It’s just a simple meeting. Deng Shao said whether it works out or not, just consider it making a new friend!”
Tang Xuan’er wanted to refuse, but Zhu Feng was already pushing her to go home without waiting for a reply.
Seeing this, Xiao Sha swallowed the sausage it was chewing and pounced fiercely.
In its eyes, since Tang Xuan’er fed it every day and was so familiar with its master, anyone who dared to bully her would have to face the wrath of Dragon King!
“Xiao Sha! Don’t!” Tang Xuan’er hurriedly exclaimed.
If it collided now, Zhu Feng wouldn’t die but would surely be severely injured.
Xiao Sha landed reluctantly and glared at the two menacingly.
Zhu Feng cursed inwardly, not considering the Pekingese a big deal at all.
“Xuan’er, please, pity us. Deng Shao is your uncle’s direct superior at work. It’s just a meeting, and if you’re unwilling, you can leave right after. Okay?” Zhu Feng pleaded with a pitiful look.
Tang Xuan’er, her heart softening, could only nod with resignation, “Alright, we’ll meet at home!”
“Great!” Zhu Feng and Jiao Ying couldn’t help but laugh with joy.
Tang Xuan’er called Xiao Sha over, feeling more assured in her heart.
With Xiao Sha by her side, she knew her safety was guaranteed.
Of course, they couldn’t go to Number One Tian Villa; after thinking it over, Tang Xuan’er decided to head back to the residential compound first.
After all, Xue An wasn’t in Beijiang right now, and the place was still unoccupied.
Making up her mind, Tang Xuan’er got into her uncle’s car and set off for the residential compound.
When Deng Mao received the WeChat message from Jiao Ying, he couldn’t help but get excited.
Zhu Feng hadn’t told the truth.
Deng Mao hadn’t seen Tang Xuan’er from a photo; instead, he had stumbled upon her at the hospital a few days earlier while visiting a patient.
The moment Deng Mao saw her, he was struck by her heavenly beauty and began frantically digging into Tang Xuan’er’s background, only to unexpectedly discover that her maternal uncle worked at his family’s company.
This news delighted Deng Mao, who quickly approached Jiao Ying for more details.
Jiao Ying was so thrilled he thought he might burst; the Deng Family’s young master had taken an interest in his niece?
This was incredible news!
He and his wife immediately made up their minds to come find Tang Xuan’er.
Now that things had worked out, Deng Mao was naturally overjoyed.
Looking at his own slicked and stylish reflection in the mirror, Deng Mao couldn’t help smiling smugly to himself.
Little beauty, wait for me – I’m on my way!
