Chapter 304: I’ll Cherish Her

Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee

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.”
