Chapter 1729 It’s the Xiao Family
Xiao Tian and Li Mei exchanged a glance with each other.
'Secretly dating?'
Even though they had guessed Xing Juzong and Xing Renqing would ask a question about the reason why she was in his house, they did not expect to hear such a question.
Because Li Mei did not answer her question immediately, Xing Renqing repeated her question, "So, why are you in bro Xiao's house?" n.-0velBIn
"I came to his house to discuss business." Li Mei responded, "We will create a travel tour business in a few days."
"So, you two are only business partners, huh?" Xing Renqing uttered. "But why do I feel like you two are more than friends? Don't tell me. You two are friends with benefits?"
Xiao Tian and Li Mei widened their eyes in surprise.
'She has a good instinct.'
These were the words that suddenly appeared in their minds.
"Sister, stop it." Xing Juzong did not want to make the situation more awkward, so he told his sister to stop asking questions.
"Hmf!" Xing Renqing crossed her arms over her chest. "You are not fun, brother!"
"Hehe." Xiao Tian chuckled.
As they were talking in the living room, Lian Xun rushed toward Lan Ruoxi's room with a happy face.
He just got good news from Xiao Zhan, so his heart throbbed with happiness. "Ruoxi, I have good news."
Lan Ruoxi opened the door and inquired, "What is it, master?"
"Your mother...your mother has regained consciousness." Lian Xun told her the good news. "Master, let's go to the Angel Hospital now." she instantly forgot everything after hearing the good news.
"Alright." He responded.

"Subordinate?" Lan Ruoxi and Lian Xun were shocked again because they had never heard of this before.
"Yes. They wanted me to work for them, but I refused because the contract stated I could not refuse their orders." Lan Meirong told them the reason why she refused to become the Xiao family's subordinate. "I see. I understand everything now." Lian Xun finally understood everything.
"What is it, master?" Lan Ruoxi asked curiously.
"Ruoxi, you are a talented martial artist like your mother. Because they could not get your mother, they used your mother to take you. In other word, you are your mother replacement" Lian Xun began to explain his guess to them.
In order to use Lan Ruoxi, they put her mother in a coma.
Since they were the only ones who could treat her mother, Lan Ruoxi had no other choice but to follow their orders.
And to cover up their crimes, they gave Lan Ruoxi fake news, saying that the Li family caused her mother to fall into a coma.
They also continuously injected small amounts of serum into her mother's body because, with this, they could make Lan Ruoxi their tool forever. "I think so too." Lan Meirong thought Lian Xun's guess was correct.
"So, I work for my enemy all this time?" Lan Ruoxi did not expect to be fooled by the Xiao family all this time.
"At least they can't control you anymore now." Lan Meirong uttered.
"Don't worry, Ruoxi. I will take revenge for you later." Lian Xun uttered. "I will make the Xiao family pay for all their actions toward you and your mother."
"Master, are you going to join uncle Xiao in destroying the Xiao family?" Lan Ruoxi asked curiously.
"Yes." Lian Xun gave an honest answer.
Lan Ruoxi immediately said, "Then I will also jo-"
Before she had finished her words, she was interrupted by him. "No. You can't join me. Your job now is to take care of your mother. Forget about the Xiao family for now. I will take care of them later."
Lan Ruoxi had experienced a lot of suffering all this time, so he did not want her to fight the Xiao family with him. "But master, I also want to ta-" Lan Ruoxi stopped her words halfway when a doctor entered the patient room.
"I'm sorry for disturbing you guys, but Mrs Lan Meirong has to rest now." Doctor Dai Yao uttered, "She needs a lot of rest for now because her body is still weak."
"Mother, I will visit you again tomorrow." Even though Lan Ruoxi still wanted to spend time with her mother, she let her mother rest.
"Alright." Lan Meirong nodded her head. "We will come again tomorrow." Lian Xun said before finally walking out of the patient room.
