Chapter 1164: Insider Information

Xia Xibei told Tang Luo about the Han family, focusing on their ruthlessness.

Tang Luo’s face turned overcast.

“That’s completely outrageous!”

Tang Luo felt chills spilling down her spine.

To be raised as a Hearth and brainwashed from a young age, to have no thoughts of one’s own, to be willingly dedicated and selfless at all times…

It all sounded like a tale of horror!

If she grew up living a life like that… She couldn’t imagine it!

“Your mother is most likely the Han family’s child, but I suppose she’s not a Hearth, or it might be due to some other reasons that she gave birth to you later, and then…”

Tang Luo nodded, “I know. I’m also thankful that she didn’t stay with the Hans.”

Tang Luo finally understood why her mother had always brought her up as a boy in the first place.

Her mother must have known what would happen since the beginning, except that she wasn’t a Hearth herself, which was why she had been able to live an easy life.

However, with the Hans’ blood running in her veins, no one could guarantee what the future held.

Tang Luo’s heart ached for her mother.

The Hans were not trustworthy people, and Zhang Kaiwei was a threat too.

She had also died young. Her life had truly been a tragic one!

Nevertheless, now that her mother had pa.s.sed away, she had to live well on her own.

“To not be bothered by the Hans, you have to cultivate well and protect yourself,” Xia Xibei said in a serious manner. “However, you don’t need to worry. Even if the Hans are powerful, they can’t just do what they want without any care.”

“I understand,” Tang Luo nodded.

She was mentally prepared from the moment she knew that she was special.

She used to feel demoralized, because she thought there was no way that she could break free.

However, after such a major change in her life, how could she not work hard?

She would only be capable of protecting herself if she improved her strength.

“Good, I will keep sending you medicines, and you guys have to strive hard.”

Tang Luo nodded with rosy cheeks.

Although she still found things like that somewhat shameful, the meaning had changed when things became a matter of life and death.

Moreover, after doing it more, she had opened herself up. She was not as shy now as she was before.

She would try anything as long as it would help her get stronger!

“By the way, I’m traveling to the capital on New Year’s Day. I’ll check up on the Hans for you.”

“Okay, I appreciate it.” Tang Luo looked at Xia Xibei gratefully. “Still, remember to keep yourself safe. If there’s danger in your way, you have to run!”

If anything untoward happened to Xia Xibei because of her, she would live in guilt for the rest of her life!

The Hans did not sound like good people at all.

Who knew what they would do if they knew Xia Xibei’s ident.i.ty?!

Xia Xibei smiled and looked at her, “Don’t worry about me, they can’t do me any harm. Besides, it’s not like I’m someone they can bully at will.”

Tang Luo gained a lot more confidence as she thought of how well Xia Xibei had done over the years.

She was right! No one could mess with someone as terrific as Xia Xibei!

“Well, I have to go now.”

“Sure, Bonan is coming over to pick me up too.”

Tang Luo blushed, looking a little shy.

“Hmm, got it,” Xia Xibei nodded. “Anyway, try not to be on your own these days.”

“Got it.”

Soon, Mo Bonan arrived.

He checked on Tang Luo for a moment before turning to Xia Xibei, “Do you need a ride?”

Xia Xibei shook her head. “No need, I’ll go back by myself.”

“Good. Get on your way then.”

Xia Xibei was left speechless. How ruthless and straightforward was he?!
