Tang Xi was surprised. She didn’t know that her family and the Qin Family were deadly enemies… She used to regard Qin Xinying as her best friend and even gave many benefits to the Qin’s Group because of her friendship with Qin Xinying. However, Grandpa never stopped her, just because she had no other friends except Qin Xinying. He didn’t want her to lose the only friend, so he just repressed his hatred towards that family and let her make friends with Qin Xinying…

Tang Xi looked at Tang Zhenhua and countless thoughts rushed into her mind at the same time. If Grandpa knew she was actually killed by Qin Xinying, he must feel guilty and blame himself for not stopping her from making friends with Qin Xinying! Thinking of this, Tang Xi clenched her hands and made up her mind. She mustn’t tell Grandpa about the truth. Even if she would make Qin Xinying get the punishment she deserved, she couldn’t let Grandpa know that it was Qin Xinying who designed that air crash. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to stand the blow.

“Grandpa, what happened between the Qin Family and us?” Tang Xi looked at Tang Zhenhua. “You should have told me about the truth. If you had told me earlier, I would not have made friends with Qin Xinying, nor would I make you sad.”

Looking at his granddaughter, Tang Zhenhua patted her hand and smiled kindly. “People in the Qin Family only value benefits. When you made friends with that girl of the Qin Family, I had thought about stopping you, but then I thought she didn’t do anything wrong. And it’s not easy for you… to have a friend.”

Tang Xi interrupted him. “But you didn’t like me doing that, right, Grandpa?” She held Tang Zhenhua’s arm and looked into his eyes, saying sincerely. “I swear I will never have any contact with anyone of the Qin Family. Don’t worry, Grandpa.”

Tang Zhenhua nodded. “Okay, I know you’re a good girl, Xixi.”

“Grandpa, can you tell me what happened between the Qin Family and us?” Tang Xi was really curious. Deadly enemies? What on earth happened between the two families?

Looking at Tang Xi’s curious face, Tang Zhenhua sighed helplessly. He stood up and went to his desk. After he sat down in a chair, he pressed a hidden button to open his desk, took out a photo album from inside and handed it to Tang Xi. “It’s all in this.”

Just then, Qiao Liang stood up from the sofa. “I’m going out to make a phone call.”

Tang Xi looked at the considerate Qiao Liang and gave him a smile. Tang Zhenhua nodded. “Go ahead.”

After Qiao Liang went out, Tang Xi smiled shyly at Tang Zhenhua who patted her hand and laughed. “Although my Xixi has a bad eye for making friends, you do have a good eye for finding a boyfriend. Qiao Liang is a good boy and suits you well.”

Tang Xi smiled proudly and looked at her grandfather with her chin up. “Of course, you know how critical I am. I won’t accept a man as my boyfriend unless he is as perfect as Qiao Liang!”

Amused by Tang Xi, Tang Zhenhua helplessly looked at Tang Xi. “Are you praising yourself or Qiao Liang?”

“Both. Don’t you see that, Grandpa?” Tang Xi chuckled and said, “In fact, I think I was lucky to meet Qiao Liang.”

How lucky she was to be loved and cared for by Qiao Liang.

Tang Zhenhua sighed and nodded. “Yes, it’s not easy for a woman to find a man who can protect her.” Tang Zhenhua said and then opened the album.

On the first page was a photo of a woman with a beautiful smile and a handsome man. Because of time, the black and white photo had begun to turn yellow. But Tang Xi could still see from the blurry photo that the two were very happy and they looked perfectly suited to each other.

Tang Xi paused and looked at Tang Zhenhua who smiled and explained, “This is the photo we took when your grandma Jiang Suhua was 18 years old. I was 20 years old at that time. This is the second birthday your grandma spent with me.”

“Jiang Suhua?” Tang Xi looked at Tang Zhenhua in puzzlement. “Is this Grandma’s original look?”

Tang Zhenhua nodded, but Tang Xi was more confused. She looked at Tang Zhenhua. “What does this have to do with our deadly feud with the Qin Family?”

When Tang Zhenhua heard her question, his eyes had a trace of sadness. His clouded eyes were suddenly filled with tears. Seeing this, Tang Xi held his hand with guilt in her eyes. “Grandpa, forget it if you don’t want to tell me. I won’t ask you anymore.”

Tang Zhenhua closed his eyes in pain. When he opened them again, he had calmed down. He shook his head. “It’s alright. I can tell you.”

Tang Xi pursed her lips and waited for the next words from Tang Zhenhua. The latter paused and then said, “Qin Yue is Suhua’s cousin, but then Suhua’s family went bankrupt, so the Qin Family people broke off relations with them. The Qin Family wanted to marry their daughter Qin Luo to me, but I had already fallen in love with your grandmother…”

After listening to Tang Zhenhua’s story about him and Jiang Suhua, Tang Xi froze. She looked at Tang Zhenhua in disbelief and clenched her teeth. “So, you and Grandmother have a daughter missing, and the woman who killed Grandmother has been missing ever since. And the Qin Family hasn’t explained anything about it, is that it?”

Tang Zhenhua nodded sadly. “That car accident killed your grandmother and your aunt was missing in that accident. I did everything I could to find her, but I still couldn’t find your aunt.”

Tang Xi clenched her hands. “That Qin Luo, she was insane!”

“She is a beast.” At the mention of Qin Luo, Tang Zhenhua’s face became gloomy and cold. He narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “She even killed her own mother to get away from home.”

“What?” Tang Xi widened her eyes. “She killed her own mother?”

“Yes.” Tang Zhenhua nodded. “Her mother fell the night Qin Luo left and hit her head on the tea table. By the time the servants found her the next morning, she was dead.” He paused and continued, “Although it’s said that she fell accidentally. That it was just an accident, but I know it is definitely not an accident.”

Tang Xi gawked at Tang Zhenhua. “Why are you so sure?”

“Because…” Tang Zhenhua sneered. “Qin Yue won’t hate us for Suhua’s death. The only reason for him to hate me so much is that he thinks I should be responsible for his mother’s death.”
