Tang Xi knocked on the door of Tang Zhenhua’s study and then came in with Qiao Liang. When Tang Zhenhua saw Tang Xi, he fell into a trance for a moment. Then he cracked a smile, stood up and waved to her. “Why did you come back all of a sudden? You should have told me in advance.”

Tang Xi smiled and went up to hug him, saying with a smile, “I wanted to give you a surprise.” She glanced casually at his table and asked, “What were you thinking about, Grandpa? You looked upset.”

It occurred to Tang Zhenhua that his granddaughter was such a sensitive child that no matter how hard he tried, he could not deceive her, just like that time when he was ill. Thinking of this, Tang Zhenhua didn’t want to keep the truth from Tang Xi anymore. He took a look at Qiao Liang and asked him to sit down. “I had Tang Ling investigate that air crash and he found a lot of clues. Xixi, the air crash might be designed by some people who tried to murder you.”

Tang Xi looked at Tang Zhenhua and wanted to ask him how he recognized Qiao Liang, but then she thought that since she was wearing a skin mask, Grandpa should be able to guess that Qiao Liang was wearing one too, so she didn’t ask about this. She took Tang Zhenhua’s hand and said softly, “Grandpa, don’t be sad. It’s not worth it.”

“I’m not upset because of those people, but because…” Tang Zhenhua patted her hand and sighed. “But because I failed to protect you.

If it weren’t for your grandmother’s blessing, you might never get back to me.”

Tang Xi gave Tang Zhenhua a questioning look. To be honest, she couldn’t understand why Grandpa always mentioned Grandma when he was talking about her. What had happened to Grandma?

Seeing Tang Xi’s look, Tang Zhenhua smiled. He looked at her, took a breath and said, “The same thing had also happened to your grandma.”

“What!” Tang Xi looked at Tang Zhenhua in shock. “How…”

No wonder Grandpa easily guessed who she was. No wonder Grandpa was so easily convinced of her miracle. No wonder Grandpa… often called out the name of another woman to the picture of Grandmother. It turned out that Grandmother, just like her, resurrected in another person’s body and live her life once again.

Qiao Liang was also shocked. He had no idea that Tang Zhenhua had such an incredible experience… The miracle that happened to his wife also happened to his granddaughter… This was incredible!

Tang Zhenhua looked at Tang Xi and smiled. “I was shocked at first, but then I thought it must be a chance God gave to me. Unfortunately, I couldn’t grow old with your grandmother.”

“Grandpa…” Tang Xi didn’t know how to comfort her grandfather, because she knew how painful it could for a person to lose his beloved one. That pain could not be relieved with pale comfort.

Tang Zhenhua smiled and said, “It’s alright. I’m alright. I just hate myself for not being able to protect your grandmother, your parents and you.”

Tang Xi’s heart ached as if being grabbed by a giant hand. She pursed her lips and took Tang Zhenhua’s hand. “Grandpa… aren’t I still with you?”

She felt her grandfather was actually the most tragic one in this family. He had been watching the people he loved, the people he cared about, leaving him one by one, but could do nothing about it. Watching all this happen, Grandpa was the one suffering most.

“Well, forget it. I will never allow anyone to do anything to hurt you from now on.” Tang Zhenhua said and looked at Qiao Liang. “I heard that you’ve purchased the 28 percent shares of the Empire Group?”

Qiao Liang looked at Tang Zhenhua and smiled. “Grandpa, what do you need me to do?”

“I’m going to kick those people out of the board.” Tang Zhenhua’s face was somber. “I didn’t think the Tang Family people would set us up, but now I know I was wrong. I can’t let them continue to stay in the Empire Group!”

“You will only drive them into a corner by doing this. A cornered beast will do something desperate. They may cause you troubles in that case. If you want to get rid of them at one stroke, don’t act rashly. The best way to get rid of poisonous plants is to uproot them and burn them off.” Qiao Liang looked at Tang Zhenhua expressionlessly. “Leave them to me, if you trust me. To get rid of them, we cannot leave them a single way back.”

Tang Zhenhua frowned and looked at Tang Xi who smiled at him and nodded. “Yes, Grandpa, I had already guessed it was them who set me up, but I didn’t have any evidence. I don’t want to easily let off those people who wanted to kill me. It will be rude if I don’t pay them back!”

“But how about Qingyu’s family?…” Tang Zhenhua looked at Tang Xi. “You…”

“Brother Qingyu has been gone for so many years. I have been tolerant enough to his family. I think he will understand me.” Tang Xi looked at Tang Zhenhua, with a sad smile over her lips. “Anyway, I can’t die once again because of his family.”

Tang Zhenhua was shocked to hear this. He suddenly grabbed Tang Xi’s hand and said angrily, “Never ever say this again!” He then looked at them and asked, “Are you going to live with two identities like this in the rest of your life?”

Tang Xi pursed her lips. This was certainly not the best way. She would live as Tang Xi before she punished those who had killed her. After that, she would live with the identity of Xiao Rou.

Tang Zhenhua had guessed Tang Xi’s plan. He nodded. “I don’t mind it as long as you often come back and visit me..”

Tang Xi smiled and nodded. “Don’t worry, Grandpa. When I’m Tang Xi, I can come back, and I can also do so when I’m Xiao Rou.”

Xiao Rou should assume all the responsibilities of Tang Xi after inheriting her property.

The three of them talked about their next plans. Inevitably, they talked about Qin Xinying. Tang Zhenhua said coldly, “The Qin Family people are all evil. I didn’t stop you from seeing Qin Xinying, because it seemed that she was your only friend. Now you can just ignore the Qin Family people. As for Qin Xinying… it’s up to you how to deal with her.”

Tang Xi smiled and suddenly thought of something. She looked at Tang Zhenhua and asked, “Grandpa, do the Qin Family people bear any grudge against us? Qin Yue has been a bit hostile to me.”

“Grudge!” Tang Zhenhua snorted and coldly said, “We are mortal enemies!”

He looked at Tang Xi and smiled. “But after all, it has been so many years…”
