Chapter 568 To Bring Her Back...
"My sister is my responsibility so I will suggest doctor Jiang Yang leave her to me," Xi Cheng said.
Jiang Yang smirked. "Seems like you are not good enough to take care of her as Mrs. Xi left her with me."
"My step-mother sometimes lacks good judgment." Xi Cheng commented.
Jiang Yang agreed and the next moment sarcastic and hurting words followed it.
"I am sure she lacks it or she wouldn't be like this for all these years when outsiders ruined the peace in her home."
This time Jiang Yang was not the polite one and he didn't stop himself from saying the things that could provoke Xi Cheng. Every time he stopped himself from saying anything inappropriate, thinking about Song Meilin, but this time it was about the woman he loved and this man in front of him was trying to keep her in a cage.
"Is it the power of your brother-in-law that you dare to talk like this?" Xi Cheng asked sarcastically and in return, he got the same reply.
"What about you? Is it the power of the wealth you confiscated from others?" Jiang Yang countered and Xi Cheng had nothing left to say.
Xi Cheng realized as Jiang Yang was Lu Qiang's friend and his wife's brother, he must know about the condition in the Xi family.
"Doctor Jiang Yang sure is so bold to talk whatever he feels like." Xi Cheng spoke.
"Being a doctor has its own perks as I know what kind of medicine will work on whom?"
Both were calm as always, mocking each other with their words and the result was obvious, no one can ever beat Jiang Yang when there is a battle of words.
Xi Cheng brushed off his remark with a smile and said, "It's late doctor Jiang Yang. If you want to meet my sister, you can meet her tomorrow."
"I am not here just to see her, but I am here to take her back with me." Jiang Yang cleared his intentions.
"What if I won't allow you?" Xi Cheng asked.
"You are nobody from whom I should take permission. The one who mattered, already left Nixxxie to me. I am going upstairs to get her. Do whatever you can."
Saying it, Jiang Yang left to go upstairs and before Xi Cheng could stop him or say anything, Xi Cheng's cell phone rang. Seeing the number flashing on the screen, he had to give up on Jiang Yang and had to receive a call.
A cold voice came out before Xi Cheng could even say hello.
"Dare to stop Jiang Yang from what he will do and tomorrow you will see the consequences."
It was a warning for Xi Cheng.
Controlling his anger, Xi Cheng spoke calmly. "I respect your worry about your friend, President Lu, but you can't stop me from worrying about my sister as Doctor Jiang Yang is a stranger for us."
"You are no less than a stranger, Xi Cheng but the only difference is that my friend is not a harm to her."
Another cold reply filled with hidden warning came from Lu Qiang that made Xi Cheng speechless.
Something clicked to Xi Cheng hearing Lu Qiang's words, and he couldn't say anything.
Lu Qiang continued. "I don't like to repeat my words."
Saying Lu Qiang cut the call and left Xi Cheng frustrated and annoyed. His grip on the cellphone tightened as if he would crush it.
"Take the advantage of knowing my secret as much as you can, Lu Qiang because soon you won't be able to use it against me."

Jiang Yang went upstairs and knocked on the door of Nixxxie's room. Nixxxie was sitting in her bed and hearing the knock on the door, she didn't get up to open it thinking it must be her brother.
Not sensing any reaction from inside, Jiang Yang spoke. "Nicky, it's me."
Nixxxie felt as if she heard something wrong and waited to hear it again.
"It's me, Jiang Yang. Are you okay? Open the door."
Hearing it again, Nixxxie opened the door and looked at the man in front in surprise.
Before she could say anything, Jiang Yang hugged her tightly, standing in the door, not saying a single word. Since the moment he got to know that Xi Cheng took her back, it scared the hell out of him. Only he knew how he could be so calm for this long and how he could talk to Xi Cheng so calmly when from inside he was desperate to see Nixxxie as soon as he could. Only he knew how much he was happy to see her standing in front of him in fine condition.
The reason he feared was what happened with his sister in the past and he blamed himself for being careless and ignorant, but this time he didn't want to repeat the same mistake. Though it looked like Xi Cheng would never harm Nixxxie but Jiang Yang didn't want to take it lightly.
Nixxxie hugged him back and asked, "W-What are you doing here? Go back."
She knew Jiang Yang would come to see her, but she never thought her brother will allow him to come to her.
Jiang Yang moved back to look at her and replied. "I am here to take you back with me."
"I am fine here. Don't worry."
"With a man like him around you, do you think I won't worry?"
"Though I hate him, he is my brother and he is just strict with me. Don't worry. Since I am back, he is calm and he said nothing to me."
"I know but as your mother left you to me, you are my responsibility now." Jiang Yang countered.
Jiang Yang knew there was no use of talking about Xi Cheng as Nixxxie still couldn't get why she should be away from Xi Cheng so he turned the course of the talk.
"He would be mad if I leave with you. I will be fine, trust me." Nixxxie tried to assure him.
She was living with Xi Cheng since she was a kid and she somewhere knew that he won't harm her.
