Chapter 199: Stealing

Although she loved to play around in her previous life, she never delayed her studies. She had so many degrees that even Qin Xinying who had been following her didn’t know what her degrees were.
Though she and Qin Xinying were very good friends, it was clear that she never knew Qin Xinying’s real thoughts, and she in turn also kept a lot of things from Qin Xinying. For example, she never told her about her basement, nor did she tell her what she did every time she went abroad…
Thinking of the news she watched today, Tang Xi felt very uncomfortable. Though Qin Xinying ran a clothing company and acted as a famous designer with her works from before, she never felt uncomfortable. But now when she saw Qin Xinying signed an agreement with the Qiao’s International Group and became a special designer of the Qiao’s with her works, she felt that the uncomfortable feeling settled in her heart.
It was just like that, that she herself had created Qin Xinying an opportunity to get closer to Qiao Liang.
But now she had no way to take back what was hers. She could only take away the firewood under the cooking pot. When Qin Xinying couldn’t take out any works anymore, she would have to disappear from the designer community. However, she wouldn’t lose face.
Tang Xi was pondering all these thoughts privately. All the other people in the room, including Qiao Yuxin and the butler were all stunned. What did she say? She wanted to take a graduation exam? He Mu’an looked at Tang Xi and said softly, “Xiao Rou, I know you’re eager to graduate from high school, but you were admitted to the school only less than a month ago, and the school is going to be on a week-long vacation. Are you sure that you are going to take the graduation exam? Can you really pass it?”
Seeing He Mu’an doubt her, Tang Xi smiled and nodded. “I really want to attend the graduation exam. Mr. He, please arrange it for me. I really want to enter college early. One of my classmates is only thirteen years old, ten years younger than me. With my age, I should have been graduated from university already. I can’t wait anymore. Please arrange it for me Mr. He. I want to take the graduation exam as soon as I am discharged from the hospital. I believe I should be able to pass it.”
“You look the most beautiful when you’re confident, Rourou. I believe you can pass the exam.” With a smile, Aunt Qiao looked up at He Mu’an and said, “Mr. He, please arrange the exam for Rourou. Rourou is so excellent and I believe she can pass it.”
He Mu’an and Li Haoyu left the hospital shocked.
…
On the other side, Qin Xinying was rummaging around in her office like mad. The whole office became extremely messy, but she didn’t stop and kept searching everywhere. She rummaged and muttered, “Why did they disappear? I carry them with me all the time. Why can’t I find them?”
At this time, Qin Xinying’s office door was knocked by someone. Qin Xinying asked the person to come in. It was Qin Xinying’s temporary assistant in the Design Department. When the assistant saw Qin Xinying’s office in a mess, a surprised gleam flashed in her eyes. She asked Xinying gently, “Miss Qin, what are you looking for?
Qin Xinying looked up at the assistant and said icily, “Nothing.” Then she asked, “What’s up?”
The assistant nodded and replied, “Well, the director said that you had agreed to submit a design drawing to her today. She asked me to ask you whether the design drawing has been finished. If so, please send it to her email inbox.”
Qin Xinying frowned and nodded, “Well, ok, tell Vivian that I’ve already finished the design drawing and I’ll send it to her email inbox in a moment. Please tell her to check over it.”
The assistant nodded with a smile, apologized for being a bother, and then opened the door and went out.
As soon as the assistant went out, Qin Xinying began her search again, but no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn’t find the USB drive containing the design drawings. How could she lose it? She stored all the design drawings in it. She would publish three drawings a season and with so many drawings on the drive they wouldn’t be used up until 6 years later, during which she could slowly retire from the design community and do other jobs, but the USB drive suddenly disappeared!
What should she do…?
“Qin Xinying, you can’t panic. You can’t panic and you have to stay calm.” Qin Xinying gradually calmed down. She took a deep breath. “Yes… yes, you’ve selected the design drawings that you’re going to give to Vivian to amaze them. You’ve saved them in your computer’s hard drive. Now send these design drawings to Vivian and then figure a way out.”
Qin Xinying calmed down gradually, turned on her computer and clicked on the hard disk. Looking at the perfect design drawing, she smiled, “Yes, as long as you send this design drawing to them, you can secure your place in the Design Department of the Qiao’s International Group.” With this in mind, Qin Xinying looked calmer.
Tang Xi, don’t blame me. You didn’t stop me or blame me the first time I published your design drawing under my name, which meant you had acquiesced to me doing it.
So let me continue to make use of you, step on you and reach the pinnacle of life step by step. After I stand beside Qiao Liang and stand shoulder to shoulder with him, I’ll definitely say sorry to you. Now at this point I haven’t reached my goal… so don’t blame me.
Qin Xinying edited the email and sent it out.
After sending the email, Qin Xinying asked someone to clean up her office. At this time, her phone suddenly rang. Qin Xinying took a look at the caller ID, calmly picked up the phone and told the assistant that had arrived to clean up her office, then proceeded to go out whilst holding her cellphone.
On the rooftop, Qin Xinying frowned, “Are you sure Qiao Liang entered the Empire Garden?” She asked coldly.
“Do you know who were the people that he brought in?”
“I don’t know, but I saw that Qiao Liang held a small box covered with black cloth in his hand. I don’t know what it is.”
Qin Xinying’s eyes sparkled with a calculative gleam and she asked excitedly, “How big is the box?”
It must be Tang Xi’s urn. Sure enough, Tang Xi was dead… No, no, even if Tang Xi died, Qiao Liang probably hadn’t known it, because if Qiao Liang found out Tang Xi died, he wouldn’t be so calm and would try to find out the truth like he had turned crazy… No, that was not right either. Was Qiao Liang really in love with Xiao Rou, if so why was he so calm? Then if that’s the case why did he go to the Empire Garden?
Did he give Tang Xi’s ashes back to Tang Zhenhua?
That was impossible. From what she knew of Qiao Liang, he wouldn’t send Tang Xi’s urn back by himself…
Tang Xi… the Empire Garden… No, Tang Zhenhua probably hadn’t known Tang Xi died. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so calm. He loved Tang Xi so much. He would definitely die of a broken heart if he knew Tang Xi had died!
