Chapter 304: 304

But Grandpa actually didn’t have the slightest doubt and asked her the question . She never expected that Grandpa would accept so easily the fact that she was living with another person’s identity… as if… . as if he had experienced it himself…

Tang Zhenhua looked at Tang Xi and shook his head . Tang Xi rushed over to hug him and whispered, “Grandpa, I’m sorry I had you worry about me . It’s all my fault . ”

“Since you’re still alive, you should have come and told me . ” Tang Zhenhua reached out to pat her back and said helplessly, “But you lived in this strange city for so long . If I hadn’t come over, were you going to keep it from me forever?”

Tang Xi shook her head . “I was afraid you couldn’t accept it, or would have thought me to be crazy . Then I wouldn’t have had any chance to approach you . ”

Tang Xi suddenly thought that today was a wonderful day because she met Grandpa again and the process was so easy . She had thought she would never be able to become Grandpa’s granddaughter again . To her surprise, Grandpa recognized her merely because of a few words of hers…

They found a bench to sit down on . Under the sun, grandpa and granddaughter enjoyed the lake view and Tang Xi told Tang Zhenhua about what she had been though . The more Tang Zhenhua listened, the paler he became . Tang Xi looked at him and smiled as she said gently, “Grandpa, how can you be sure I am your Xixi? After all, we don’t look like each other at all . Why did you recognize me just because of a few words? Why didn’t you doubt I was purposely imitating Tang Xi…”

“Your grandma . ” Tang Zhenhua gazed at Tang Xi and his eyes suddenly shone with a gleam of happiness that Tang Xi rarely saw . He said, “You grandma had exactly the same experience with you . After your grandma died, I almost broke down, but then she appeared . Although she then had a totally different face, she made me believe she was still her . ”

Tang Xi looked at her grandpa in astonishment . She never thought there was such an amazing thing in this world . It turned out that Grandma had the same experience with her . However, Tang Zhenhua’s face gradually darkened . He smiled sadly . “But happy moments never last long . Your grandma left me in the end . ”

Tang Xi held Tang Zhenhua’s hand and asked in a low voice, “That’s why every time you go to visit Grandma’s grave, you will visit two graves but only call one person’s name, right, Grandpa?”

Tang Zhenhua nodded . “Although your grandma has died, she will live in my heart forever . It seems that you have had the same experience as her . When did Qiao Liang find you?”

Tang Xi gave a sweet smile as soon as she heard Qiao Liang’s name . “He went to Long Beach and searched for me like crazy, after I sent everyone an email via my own email box . He located my IP address and found me, and then he was quickly convinced that Xiao Rou was me, just like you wereGrandpa . ”

“But I had met him twice before that, when he didn’t recognize me, but Grandpa, you’ve recognized me at our first meeting . ”

Tang Zhenhua nodded, looked at Tang Xi and pursed his lips . “That boy really cares about you . I can tell that from his actions . Last time he went to the Empire Garden…”

“Yes, he wanted to see you when he heard you were looking for me, and I was also worried about you, so…”

Tang Zhenhua sighed . “That’s very considerate of him . Now that you two have reunited, I have nothing to worry about . By the way…”

Tang Xi’s face darkened when she heard Tang Zhenhua’s question . She said seriously, “Grandpa, leave those people to me . You don’t have to worry about that . After all, I had taken over the company two years ago, and I had made a will, stipulating that once I have any accidents, all my properties will be donated to the society, including the company . I think they probably know that you have transferred all your shares to me and I’ve made such a will, so they dare not do anything now . Otherwise, they will lose everything . ”

That was why she wasn’t in a hurry to go back, nor fear they would plot against Grandpa .

She worried about the Empire Group, but what she worried about the most was Grandpa . She was afraid that Grandpa might not be able to accept it if he knew she was dead . Now that Grandpa had known she was still alive and also suspected those people, she didn’t have to keep anything from him now .

Upon hearing Tang Xi’s words, Tang Zhenhua said seriously, “I haven’t transferred all my shares to you! Silly girl! And the Empire Group is yours sooner or later . Now you’ve become another person, I’ll amend my will, and you shall make time to amend yours and leave all your properties to the present you . ”

Tang Xi laughed . “Grandpa, how am I supposed to do that now? But don’t worry . They won’t be able to make the Empire Group theirs as long as I’m alive . ”

Tang Xi looked very serious when she said the last sentence .

When Qiao Liang arrived, he saw Tang Xi and Tang Zhenhua were talking and laughing . He slowed his pace, calmed down and walked over to them step by step . Tang Zhenhua looked back when he heard Qiao Liang’s footsteps . He looked at Qiao Liang who was dripping with sweat because he came in such a hurry, and smiled, “This boy is afraid you might be picked on by me, so he came here in such a hurry . ”

Tang Xi waved at Qiao Liang with all smiles when she saw him come over . Qiao Liang came up to her with a dark face, greeted Tang Zhenhua and pulled Tang Xi up from the ground . “Mr . Tang, Xiao Rou has to go to class . Let’s talk alone . ”

Tang Zhenhua took a look at Tang Xi and said, “Go to class . Call me after school . ”

Qiao Liang frowned when he heard Tang Zhenhua’s words . Tang Xi nodded, said bye to Tang Zhenhua, then blinked at Qiao Liang and turned to walk towards the school . Qiao Liang looked at her receding figure, looked back at Tang Zhenhua and said seriously, “I know my actions are unkind, but Mr . Tang, she is my beloved girl . If you have any complaints, please take it up with me . Don’t…”

“I knew you truly loved Xixi, but this is the first time I have seen you so anxious for her . ” Tang Zhenhua looked at Qiao Liang as he said, “Thank you for what you did for her . I’ll bear it in mind . Please take care of Xixi for me . I can’t come to City A frequently, so please be nice to her and don’t let her get hurt . ”

Qiao Liang gazed deeply at Tang Zhenhua . It had been quite a while before he nodded . “Mr . Tang, you can rest assured . I’ll cherish her . ”
