Yoongi looked back at Jinhwan, sat down on the sofa expressionlessly and turned on the TV. "She is taking a nap after having lunch. I'll tell her you are on a business trip when she wakes up."
Jinhwan nodded. "Okay, she hasn't recovered. Don't wake her up. I'm going upstairs to pack."
Yoongi nodded. Lalisa who was driving to the airport must be very grateful if she knew her biological brother was so thoughtful.
Yoongi was relieved after seeing Jinhwan out. Then he felt funny when he recalled how nervous he was just now.
He took his cell phone and sent a message to Lalisa in WeChat. Then his cell phone dinged. He thought it must be Lalisa's message, so he turned on WeChat with a smile. But when he saw who the message sender was, he paused and then clicked on the message.
Jennie: Yoongi, are you available tonight? Let's have dinner together?
Perhaps because Yoongi didn't reply to her message for long, soon the second message of hers popped out.
Jennie: Didn't you say you owe me one? Then pay me back tonight.
Yoongi looked at the message. It had been quite a while before he replied: I'm free. You name the place.
Jennie: Okay, I'll send you a message after I make reservation.
Yoongi: Okay.
...
Jennie looked at the short reply and frowned unhappily. It had been quite a while before she put away her cell phone and said to her assistant, "Book a table in a restaurant with fewer customers."
The assistant nodded, signaled the make-up artist to put on makeup for Jennie and said, "There is a good Chinese food restaurant on the riverside. It's a membership restaurant, so it doesn't have many customers. I'll book a table now."
"Wait a minute." Jennie stopped her assistant from making the call and said with a frown, "Book a table in a restaurant with expensive and bad food."
Her assistant gave her a questioning look, but the latter just looked at her. She could only nod. "Okay, I'll do it now."
Jennie closed her eyes and let the make-up artist put on the makeup for her.
...
Lalisa and Jungkook put on the skin masks in the car. Jungkook didn't use the skin mask he used before but used a common-looking one. Although this skin mask couldn't cover up his domineering aura, he didn't stand out that much in the crowd with this skin mask.
Lalisa looked at him and laughed. "Why did you change your skin mask?"
"I showed up in France with this skin mask and some people have seen my face, so I can't use it again." Jungkook touched the skin mask on his face. "This is newly developed by Long Xiao. No one will recognize me when I wear it."
Lalisa shrugged. "I don't mind as long as you stay by my side." Then she took his arm and closed her eyes for rest, asking, "How did Grandpa Qin get Qin Yeri out of the police station? It must have taken him a lot of effort."
"Well, it didn't take him much effort, but..." Jungkook looked at Lalisa and lowered his voice. "Why didn't you tell me?"
Lalisa paused, opened her eyes and looked at Jungkook in confusion. "What do you mean?"
Jungkook looked into her eyes and tightly held the uninjured hand of hers, asking hoarsely, "Why didn't you tell me Qin Yeri had a part in the air crash killing you?"
Lalisa paused and then looked at Jungkook in surprise. "How did you come to know this?"
"So it's true!" He began to suspect Yeri after he investigated the Kwon family people, so he tested Lalisa just now. It turned out that that woman did play a part in that accident!
Lalisa immediately understood what he meant. She took a breath and pursed her lips. "I just suspected her in the beginning, but I was sure that she did play a part in the air crash after I talked with her that time with the identity of Kwon Lalisa."
"So it's not enough for her if she just stays in jail for several months for the crime of intentional injury." Jungkook looked at Lalisa and said word by word, "She must pay you back with her own life!"
Lalisa froze and then stared at Jungkook with wide open eyes. "You want to kill her?" She shook her head. "No, Kookie, I don't want you to get your hands dirty because of me."
"No, I won't get my hands dirty." Jungkook rubbed at her hair and said in a lowered voice, "I'll let her step onto a road of no return herself."
Lalisa pursed her lips and told him her plan. "Since she is so desperate to kill me, we can let her kill me once again. As long as she kills Kwon Lalisa once again and leaves evidence, the Qin's Group won't be able to save her again no matter how hard they try."
"No, I still need to find a person." Jungkook narrowed his eyes. "I had been wondering how that woman came to know my whereabouts. Only people in Long Xiao would know this information."
Lalisa looked at Jungkook in shock. "You mean there is a mole in Long Xiao?"
"No, someone purposely leaked my whereabouts to her." Jungkook took a look at Lalisa and said with a smile, "Don't worry. I can handle it."
Lalisa nodded and didn't speak, wondering who on earth leaked his whereabouts to Yeri.
The two of them arrived at the airport. Jungkook bought an air ticket and didn't take his own plane. Lalisa sat in the chair and waited for Jungkook who was checking in. Just then, she saw a familiar figure. It was Jinhwan! She immediately got nervous, but then she remembered she was wearing a skin mask, so she told herself to relax.
At this time, Jungkook came over. He had seen Jinhwan too, but he just ignored him, walked up to Lalisa and handed her the boarding pass. "Let's go in."
Lalisa nodded and whispered, "What a small world! Jinhwan took a plane from the same airline as us."
Seeing she was nervous, Jungkook smiled. "Why are you so nervous? He doesn't know you now."
"It's conditioned reflex, okay?" Lalisa said and took a look at Jinhwan. "Let's go into the departure lounge. I'm nervous about seeing my brother here."
Jungkook shook his head with a laugh and followed Lalisa into the VIP lounge.
To Lalisa's surprise, Jinhwan entered the same lounge with them!
Didn't Yoongi say Jinhwan was going to Switzerland?! Why did he enter this lounge?!
Jungkook also raised his eyebrows in surprise. He took out his cell phone and searched for flight information. Then he sat down beside Lalisa, whispering to her, "He needs to go to the capital in transit."
Lalisa sweat. "What a coincidence." Jinhwan happened to go to the capital in transit and come to the same airport lounge as them. Then did it mean that Jinhwan would take the same flight with them?!
Just then, Jinhwan who had been reading a magazine suddenly looked at them. Lalisa hurriedly looked away. Why did you keep looking at Jinhwan?! Now you aroused his suspicions!
Seeing Lalisa look away, Jinhwan raised his eyebrows and continued to read the magazine, but then it seemed that something suddenly occurred to him and he looked at Lalisa again. He then put away the magazine and walked towards them.
Lalisa who had been secretly looking at Jinhwan now panicked. She grabbed her cell phone and gritted her teeth, speaking to Jungkook in a lowered voice, "He is coming over to us! What should we do?!"
As Jjnhwan was going up to Lalisa, Jungkook who disguised as Kwon Lalisa's bodyguard stood in Jinhwan's way and said to him coldly, "Sir, sorry, what can I do for you?"
Jinhwan took a look at Jungkook and said with a smile, "Please don't take me the wrong way. I mean no offense."
Jungkook remained expressionless and didn't respond to him. Jinhwan looked a little embarrassed. Lalisa tugged on Jungkook's arm and said gently, "It's okay."
Jungkook frowned and made way for Jinhwan. Lalisa looked up at Jinhwan and gave him a polite smile. "Sir, what can I do for you?"
"I realised you had been looking at me." Jinhwan gazed at Lalisa. "And I also realised that you look like someone I know."
"Who?" Lalisa looked at him with a smile.
"My sister." Jinhwan said.
Lalisa was stunned and Jungkook frowned. Lalisa raised her eyebrows and smiled. "No one said I looked like someone else except you. I think it's perhaps because I'm too beautiful."
Jungkook, "..."
Jinhwan paused and smiled. "Really? But you do look like my sister."
Lalisa raised her eyebrows. "Do you know who I am?"
"You're the Miss of the Kwon Family. I certainly know who you are." Jinhwan smiled. "I almost mistook you as my sister, because you two are really similar, no matter in temperament or personality. I think you two will make good friends once you meet her."
Lalisa smiled. "Then I hope I can meet your sister next time."
Jinhwan knew she was implying that she didn't want to continue the conversation anymore, so he nodded with a smile and then asked, "Then Miss Kwon, may I ask why you kept looking at me just now?"
Lalisa paused. She didn't expect Jinhwan to insist on getting the answer from her. She smiled gracefully and looked at Jinhwan. "In fact, Sir, you look like one of my brothers, so I kept on looking at you. You remind me of my brother. I'm sorry if I disturbed you."
"I'd like to meet your brother if possible." Jinhwan said with a smile.
Lalisa shook her head. "I'm afraid you won't be able to meet him. He has already passed away... many years ago."
The smile on Jinhwan's face froze. Lalisa looked at him and tried to suppress her inner sorrow, apologizing to him, "I'm sorry, I don't mean to offend..."
"It's alright. I'm sorry I reminded you of a sad memory." Jinhwan said and took a look at Lalisa. "It seems that I don't have the chance to meet your brother."
Lalisa smiled and said goodbye to him. After Jinhwan left, Jungkook looked at Lalisa and laughed. Lalisa asked him, "Why do you laugh?"
"Jinhwan must be upset now." Jungkook took a deep gaze at Lalisa. "He said you looked like Min Lisa, but you said that he looked like a man who has already died."
Lalisa frowned and glared at him. "What I said is true. I just realised that he did look like my third brother. Perhaps my third brother has been gone for too long. I almost forgot how handsome he was."
"Handsome?" Jungkook narrowed his eyes.
Lalisa looked at the jealous Jungkook and shrugged helplessly. "Hey, he is my brother! Give me a break!"
"Fine!" Jungkook snorted in his heart. If she dared to talk about how handsome another man was in front of him again, he would send that man to hell!
After this false alarm, Lalisa finally boarded the plane to the capital. As she guessed, Jinhwan took the same flight with them, but fortunately, perhaps because of her cold attitude, Jinhwan just nodded at her and closed his eyes to rest, which was exactly what Lalisa wanted.
After the three-hour flight, Lalisa was starving. Although the in-flight meal was delicious, she ate a lot now. She wasn't full after taking a meal, so she took two portions of desserts, but was still hungry. She secretly decided that she must glut herself with delicacies after she got off the plane.
As soon as she got off the plane, she shivered in the cold air. She shrank her neck and wanted to hide in Jungkook's arms, but then she remembered that Jungkook wasn't her boyfriend but her bodyguard now, so she could only give up the idea. Seeing her trembling in coldness, Jungkook covered her body with the coat that he had early prepared for her. Lalisa looked back at him and he said helplessly, "I knew you would need this."
Lalisa smiled, said goodbye to Jinhwan and walked ahead. When they got into the car, Lalisa summoned 008 and asked him to show her her current experience points.
[System: Warm prompt: Does the host want to check your experience points?]
Lalisa clicked 'Yes'.
[System Information: Your experience poiynt: 371/800
Martial points: 10/100
Physical points: 15/100
Face points: 70/100
Figure points: 30/100
Charm points: 45/100
Revenge points: 50/100
Wealth points: 80/100
Face-slapping points: 71/100]
Lalisa almost cursed when she saw her physical points decreased again. She exclaimed in her heart, 'Are you kidding me?! Why did my physical points go down again?! I have been eating so much these days!'
[008: That's because the energy you consumed needs to be replenished with food. When you're injured, your body is damaged and your physical points will drop. You don't think your physical points will only go up, do you? I can tell you that's impossible!]
Lalisa, "..."
What a trash system
Lalisa angrily shut down the system and decided to glut herself with delicacies!
Seeing Lalisa suddenly get angry as if being irritated by someone, Jungkook looked at her and asked, "What happened?"
Lalisa forced a smile and shook her head. "Nothing."
Jungkook raised his eyebrows and looked at Lalisa deeply as if saying 'do you think I'm blind?' Lalisa put her head on Jungkook's shoulder and whispered, "I'm fine. It's just that some stuff in my body went wrong again!" Then she looked at Jungkook. "I'm hungry. I want to drink soup. I want all the nourishing soups!"
...
The Empire Garden.
In the capacious study, Hyunsuk sat on the black leather chair behind the redwood table. He read the documents on the table and his face blackened gradually. He looked at the young man standing respectfully in front of him, asking with a frown, "Are these documents true?"
The young man looked at Hyunsuk and nodded. "Yes, Master, after you asked me to investigate the cause of the accident instead of looking for Miss, I found these in the past two months. We shall soon be able to find out the truth if we follow up with the clues I have found."
Hyunsuk stared at the documents in his hand expressionlessly, and then his old face showed a disappointed look. "These people are really insatiable." Then he looked at the young man, "Bambam, continue to investigate this matter."
"Yes, Master." Tang Bambam nodded and left the room. Tang Zhong followed him out. At this time Lalisa happened to come in. A gleam of surprised flickered across Lalisa's eyes when she saw Bambam, and obviously, Bambam was also very surprised to see Lalisa.
Bambam took a look at Lalisa. According to the findings of his investigation, the chance of surviving that accident was almost nil. He wondered how Lalisa survived.
Lalisa surely knew that Bambam must have investigated that accident, but she was not afraid of Bambam exposing her because... with grandpa around, no one could threaten her as long as grandpa believed in her. Thinking of this, Lalisa smiled and greeted Bambam. "Bambam, I heard that you have been searching for me during my absence. Thank you."
Bambam nodded solemnly. "It is what I should do. Congratulations to you on your safe return, Miss."
Lalisa smiled. "Thank you, let's chat another day. I have to see Grandpa."
Lalisa walked past Bambam, said hello to Tang Zhong and turned to enter Hyunsuk's study. Tang Zhong watched her go in and followed Bambam to the garden. Walking into the garden, Bambam immediately looked back at his grandfather and asked in a lowered voice, "Grandpa, when did Lalisa come back?"
"When those people wanted to take over the power to manage the Empire Group." Tang Zhong looked at his grandson and sighed, "Miss pressed down those people with the speed of thunder and dismissed Kwon Hao. In a word, she reversed the situation in just two days. It seems that although she has been out all the time, she has been closely watching the situation of the Empire Group."
Bambam frowned. He had been to the Pacific Ocean, so he knew how serious the accident was. He couldn't believe the one he saw just now was really Lalisa. But Lalisa looked exactly the same as before, except that she became thinner.
"Well, don't worry too much. Just do what Master orders. Those people won't let Master off since they had laid their hands on Miss. We can't put Master in any danger." Tang Zhong raised his eyes, looked at Bambam lovingly and sighed. "I'm sorry to get you involved in this matter."
Bambam frowned. "Grandpa, what are you talking about? Master saved your life and sponsored me to receive a good education. He is our benefactor and we should serve him. Take care. I'm going now."
"Okay. Be careful on the road." After seeing Bambam off, Tang Zhong sighed and turned around. But then he was surprised to see Bambam leaning on the Roman pillars with her arms folded up. He hesitated and then went over. "Miss, didn't you go to see Master?"
"Yes, I was going to see grandpa, but then I thought that Bambam must have investigated that air crash, so I wanted to ask him about the accident first." Lalisa straightened up, looked at Tang Zhong and smiled. "Since Bambam is not here, can you tell me about it, Butler Tang?"
Tang Zhong frowned, paused and said, "It's not convenient for me to tell you about this matter. You can ask Master if you want to know, Miss."
Lalisa raised her eyebrows and turned up the corners of her mouth. "Let me guess, was my death... that air crash related to my uncles?"
Tang Zhong looked at her in surprise. "How do you know this, Miss?"
Lalisa smiled. "That's because, before I left, I had found evidence of their embezzlement, and I threatened them with it to leave the company themselves."
"Really..."
Seeing Tang Zhong seemed to be shocked at her words, Lalisa laughed and said, "I'm kidding. If I really had the evidence of their embezzlement, how could I go abroad at that critical moment and give them a chance to murder me?" Lalisa said and waved her hand at Tang Zhong. "Okay, I'm going to see Grandpa. Butler Tang, can you have the servants cook me black chicken soup? I want to drink it."
Jungkook, her 'bodyguard', was standing beside her, "..."
Tang Zhong went to have the servants cook the soup. Lalisa walked towards the study and Jungkook could not help but look at her. Lalisa felt his gaze was a bit creepy, because he looked at her as if looking at a stranger, so she turned her eyes to him and coughed. "Why are you looking at me like this?"
"You have had five pots of soup today, abalone soup, ginseng chicken soup, pig's trotters soup, turtle soup and crucian carp soup, and now you want black chicken soup?"
He was so surprised because Lalisa's stomach seemed to be bottomless today. She drank up all those soups. Not only that, but she also ate all the meat inside. And now she still wanted to drink black chicken soup... He was a bit worried about her.
Lalisa blinked his eyes at Jungkook. "I need to nourish my body, okay? These are nourishing soups, and I think they must be good for my health."
"Too Much Water Drowned the Miller." Jungkook said word by word.
Lalisa blinked her eyes, looking at Jungkoom, "Or you can tell Butler Tang not to make the soup for me..."
Lalisa knocked on the door of Hyunsuk's study and then came in with Jungkook. When Hyunsuk saw Lalisa, 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."
Lalisa 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 Hyunsuk 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, Hyunsuk didn't want to keep the truth from Lalisa anymore. He took a look at Jungkook and asked him to sit down. "I had Bambam investigate that air crash and he found a lot of clues. Lali, the air crash might be designed by some people who tried to murder you."
Lalisa looked at Hyunsuk and wanted to ask him how he recognized Jungkook, but then she thought that since she was wearing a skin mask, Grandpa should be able to guess that Jungkook was wearing one too, so she didn't ask about this. She took Hyunsuk'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..." Hyunsuk 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."
Lalisa gave Hyunsuk 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 Lalisa's look, Hyunsuk smiled. He looked at her, took a breath and said, "The same thing had also happened to your grandma."
"What!" Lalisa looked at Hyunsuk 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.
Jungkook was also shocked. He had no idea that Hyunsuk had such an incredible experience... The miracle that happened to his wife also happened to his granddaughter... This was incredible!
Hyunsuk looked at Lalisa 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..." Lalisa 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.
Hyunsuk 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."
Lalisa's heart ached as if being grabbed by a giant hand. She pursed her lips and took Hyunsuk'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." Hyunsuk said and looked at Jungkook. "I heard that you've purchased the 28 percent shares of the Empire Group?"
Jungkook looked at Hyunsuk and smiled. "Grandpa, what do you need me to do?"
"I'm going to kick those people out of the board." Hyunsuk's face was somber. "I didn't think the Kwon 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." Jungkook looked at Hyunsuk expressionlessly. "Leave them to me, if you trust me. To get rid of them, we cannot leave them a single way back."
Hyunsuk frowned and looked at Lalisa 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 Jaewon's family?..." Hyunsuk looked at Lalisa. "You..."
"Brother Jaewon has been gone for so many years. I have been tolerant enough to his family. I think he will understand me." Lalisa looked at Hyunsuk, with a sad smile over her lips. "Anyway, I can't die once again because of his family."
Hyunsuk was shocked to hear this. He suddenly grabbed Lalisa'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?"
Lalisa pursed her lips. This was certainly not the best way. She would live as Kwon Lalisa before she punished those who had killed her. After that, she would live with the identity of Min Lisa.
Hyunsuk had guessed Lalisa's plan. He nodded. "I don't mind it as long as you often come back and visit me.."
Lalisa smiled and nodded. "Don't worry, Grandpa. When I'm Kwon Lalisa, I can come back, and I can also do so when I'm Min Lisa."
Min Lisa should assume all the responsibilities of Kwon Lalisa after inheriting her property.
The three of them talked about their next plans. Inevitably, they talked about Yeri. Hyunsuk said coldly, "The Qin Family people are all evil. I didn't stop you from seeing Qin Yeri, because it seemed that she was your only friend. Now you can just ignore the Qin Family people. As for Qin Yeri... it's up to you how to deal with her."
Lalisa smiled and suddenly thought of something. She looked at Hyunsuk and asked, "Grandpa, do the Qin Family people bear any grudge against us? Qin Yue has been a bit hostile to me."
"Grudge!" Hyunsuk snorted and coldly said, "We are mortal enemies!"
He looked at Lalisa and smiled. "But after all, it has been so many years..."
Lalisa was surprised. She didn't know that her family and the Qin Family were deadly enemies... She used to regard Yeri as her best friend and even gave many benefits to the Qin's Group because of her friendship with Yeri. However, Grandpa never stopped her, just because she had no other friends except Yeri. 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 Yeri...
Lalisa looked at Hyunsuk and countless thoughts rushed into her mind at the same time. If Grandpa knew she was actually killed by Yeri, he must feel guilty and blame himself for not stopping her from making friends with Yeri! Thinking of this, Lalisa clenched her hands and made up her mind. She mustn't tell Grandpa about the truth. Even if she would make Yeri get the punishment she deserved, she couldn't let Grandpa know that it was Yeri who designed that air crash. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to stand the blow.
"Grandpa, what happened between the Qin Family and us?" Lalisa looked at Hyunsuk. "You should have told me about the truth. If you had told me earlier, I would not have made friends with Qin Yeri, nor would I make you sad."
Looking at his granddaughter, Hyunsuk 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."
Lalisa interrupted him. "But you didn't like me doing that, right, Grandpa?" She held Hyunsuk'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."
Hyunsuk nodded. "Okay, I know you're a good girl, Lali."
"Grandpa, can you tell me what happened between the Qin Family and us?" Lalisa was really curious. Deadly enemies? What on earth happened between the two families?
Looking at Lalisa's curious face, Hyunsuk 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 Lalisa. "It's all in this."
Just then, Jungkook stood up from the sofa. "I'm going out to make a phone call."
Lalisa looked at the considerate Jungkook and gave him a smile. Hyunsuk nodded. "Go ahead."
After Jungkook went out, Lalisa smiled shyly at Hyunsuk 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."
