Chapter 535: Chapter 538 The Most Suitable Woman for Wearing a Ring_1

After Su Xiaoxi finished speaking, she suddenly turned to Yang Gang, "Oh, Gang, you go keep watch outside so no one ambushes us again."

"No, why exclude me? If anyone should be on guard, it should be Li Qing. Isn’t he known as the Guardian War God of Crow Feather Island? Besides, he’s the strongest among us." Yang Gang protested.

Su Xiaoxi rolled her eyes, "Elder Li Qing holds a respected status on Crow Feather Island; he shouldn’t be reduced to keeping watch. Enough chit-chat, get moving. Otherwise, I might bring up ’Number 16 Girl’ incident again. Perhaps another billion in compensation will be due."

"Alright, I’m going!" At her words, Yang Gang promptly got up and left.

Once Yang Gang had left.

"Um, speaking of, Xiaoxi, why don’t you wear the ring on your hand but hang it around your neck instead?" Zhang Miao asked curiously.

Su Xiaoxi glanced at the ring in her hand and gave a slight bitter laugh, "This is an heirloom ring from Yang Gang’s family, I can’t put it on."

"Huh? An heirloom ring from our family? Is there such a thing? Did Yang Gang deceive you?" Yang Fei asked in suspicion.

Su Xiaoxi broke into a sweat; she had nearly forgotten about Yang Gang pretending to be the family’s young master.

She hesitated slightly, then said, "Never mind whether it’s a lie, you two try it on."

"Oh." Yang Fei came over, took the ring from Su Xiaoxi’s hand, and slid it onto her ring finger, "Uh, it seems a bit loose."

Su Xiaoxi smirked, "Just how slender are your fingers?"

Regaining her composure, Su Xiaoxi turned to Gu Xiaorou, "Xiaorou, you try it too."

"Ah, this is the engagement ring Gang gave you, wouldn’t it be inappropriate if I wore it?" Gu Xiaorou was hesitant.

Su Xiaoxi laughed, "It’s not given by Gang but I took it by force. Moreover, I’m just asking you to try it, not to keep it. Why are you making a fuss?"

"Exactly, the moment you saw the ring, hope unknowingly shone in your eyes." Zhang Miao also joked.

Gu Xiaorou’s face flushed crimson, "N..No, I didn’t!"

But indeed, her eyes had sparkled when she saw the ring. She replicates a ring based on its style and her finger size. However, she had never worn the original version and did not know its size.

"Miao Miao, don’t make a fuss." Su Xiaoxi looked at Gu Xiaorou again and smiled, "Give it a try."

"Oh." Gu Xiaorou took two steps forward, took the ring from Yang Fei, and slipped it onto her own ring finger. A hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes but quickly receded into the depths of her gaze.

She looked up and smiled, "It seems a bit loose too."

Zhang Miao also smirked, "Why are both of your fingers so slender? I’m envious, jealous and hateful."

"It seems that none of us are suited for this ring." Su Xiaoxi took back the ring from Gu Xiaorou and sighed.

At that moment, Li Qing, who had remained silent, surveyed the group of girls before suddenly saying, "Let Miss Miao Miao try it."

"Huh?" Zhang Miao blinked and quickly waved her hands, "I already have a boyfriend, how can I..."

"Sister Miao, why are you nervous? It’s just trying on a ring." Gu Xiaorou finally caught Zhang Miao out and threw Zhang Miao’s own words back at her.

"Hehehe, alright then." Zhang Miao took the ring and added, "I don’t even need to try it to know that it definitely won’t fit."

As she said it, while holding the ring in her right hand, she slipped it onto the ring finger of her left hand.

Then, the whole room instantly fell silent.

"Oh, this, there must be a mistake.....hehehe." Zhang Miao said awkwardly.

The ring fitted perfectly on Zhang Miao’s finger, neither too big nor too small.

Zhang Miao hastily took off the ring and shoved it to Su Xiaoxi: "This is a valuable thing that belongs to you in the future. Don’t take it out casually for people to try on."

Yang Fei pouts: "What valuable thing? You have definitely been deceived by Gang. I’ve lived so long and never heard of such a thing in our family. So, Little Xi, don’t mind it. It’s not worth it to let a bad joke from Gang affect our sisterhood."

Su Xiaoxi wiped the sweat from her forehead: "That definitely won’t happen. My sisterhood with Miao Miao over the years isn’t something that Yang Gang can break. Besides, even if Gang had intentions for Miao Miao, he wouldn’t stand a chance. Firstly, he’s simply incomparable to Xiao Haotian. Secondly, Miao Miao would never be attracted to such an immature, flirtatious boy. Right, Miao Miao?"

Zhang Miao snapped her fingers, laughing quietly, "Absolutely correct. If you’re with an idiot, you’ll turn into one."

At this moment, a whistle sounded from outside. It was Yang Gang.

"Looks like the person is here already." Zhang Miao put on her poker face again, her expression cooling.

Everyone left the villa together and from the opposite side, a group of people appeared, led by Xiao Yuanshan and Qu Ting.

Qu Ting glanced at Su Xiaoxi fearfully, then turned to Li Qing standing next to her, "Elder Li, you must not be deceived by that woman..."

Li Qing didn’t speak, but walked straight towards Qu Ting, slapping her across the face, and pointing at Su Xiaoxi, he coldly growled, "Qu Ting, look carefully at this woman with your own eyes. Do you believe her to be someone who would conspire with her enemies to her own parents?"

Qu Ting didn’t dare to respond. Despite being the family head’s wife, she was nothing in front of Li Qing. You see, Li Qing was from the same generation as Grand Ancestor, the Grand Ancestor’s most trusted man. Now, Li Qing remains the strongest protection for Crow Feather Island. She, Qu Ting, could not offend Li Qing.

Pausing for a moment, Li Qing continued, "I already know the detailed circumstances. It’s all Xiao Shenwei’s conspiracy with the objective to kill Little Xi who has the Cursing Ability with your hands. Over the past years, the reason the branch families haven’t dared assault Crow Feather Island is because of my presence and Little Xi’s existence. 15 years ago, when Little Xi disappeared, the branch families were uneasy, as they didn’t know whether she was dead or hidden by you. Not daring to rashly provoke the main family, they remained uncertain of Little Xi’s situation. Now, they have confirmed Little Xi’s situation, although alive, she was persecuted and made to wander for 15 years by you. Taking advantage of this, they plot their borrowed-knife strategy. Later, they can use the excuse of ’A parent who cruelly kills their biological daughter is not fit to be the Xiao family head’ to launch a massive assault on Crow Feather Island. Under these circumstances, I have no reason to favor you."

At this, Li Qing’s expression suddenly became severe, startling Xiao Yuanshan and Qu Ting to retreat a step.

"Little Xi is innately kind-hearted. She was neglected as a child but never held a grudge. However, you being her parents, plotted to completely obliterate her, you’re simply inhuman! At that time, Little Xi was only 8 years old!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuanshan was stunned for a moment, then glared angrily at Qu Ting, "The attack on Little Xi in San Francisco when she was 8. Was it you who ordered it?!"

Qu Ting was also startled, "No! I did not, I swear! If I’m lying, let the five thunderbolts strike me!"

"Hmm?" Seeing this, Li Qing was slightly taken aback and mumbled to himself, "Could it really be Xiao Shenwei’s idea? He would have been only 8 years back then too, a child of such a young age...But, apart from him, in his branch line, there seems to be nobody else capable of doing this."

"It definitely must be that Xiao Shenwei! That devil of a child!"

Suddenly footstep sounds came from behind as three-four armed men escorted a twelve to thirteen-year-old girl over, "Family Head, Xiao Ling’er tried to seize the chaos to escape, but we caught her red-handed."

Qu Ting, visibly agitated, snarled, "Kill her straight away! Now! Does Xiao Shenwei really think I would not dare to lay hands on her little sister? He shouldn’t underestimate people!"
