“That’s ridiculous! Tang Xi said coldly, “That woman’s love is like poison. Who wants her love? The Qin Family people are always so self-centered!”

“I was depressed for a long time because of the death of your grandmother and the disappearance of your aunt. I regretted that because of the pressure of my parents, I didn’t dare to show my love to your grandma. I didn’t even have time to confess my love to her. However, at that time, my parents forced me to marry another woman who could help the family business, so I broke off relations with them, left the Tang Family and founded the Imperial Group.” Tang Zhenhua looked at Tang Xi and smiled. “It is called the Empire Group because I promised your grandmother to build her a beautiful imperial home where there would only be happiness and love.”

Tang Xi almost burst into tears as she listened to her grandpa and grandma’s love story. It turned out that her grandparents had also experienced so many setbacks when they were young. She just wondered why people in love couldn’t be together?

“And then?” Tang Xi asked.

Tang Zhenhua turned his eyes to another photo, in which there was a cute little girl. Tang Zhenhua smiled and said, “this is your aunt, Tang Ya.”

“Grandpa, do you doubt that my aunt was taken away by the Qin Family people or killed by Qin Luo?” Tang Xi looked at the beautiful girl in the photo and couldn’t help feeling sorry for her. If Aunt was still alive, she must have been a beautiful woman.

She wondered how old her aunt was now.

“Well, unfortunately, I haven’t avenged your aunt yet, and I haven’t even found her yet.” Tang Zhenhua’s eyes were full of regret. He sighed and shook his head helplessly. “If I can’t find your aunt before I die, I don’t know how to explain to your grandmother in the afterlife.”

“How did you meet the reincarnated grandmother?” Tang Xi didn’t want her grandfather to continue to be sad. Grandpa must very happy to meet Grandma again.

Sure enough, at the mention of Jiang Suhua, Tang Zhenhua cheered up. He smiled faintly, looked at Tang Xi and said, “At that time, I had just founded the Empire Group that had no capital, no investment, and no customers. That was a really hard time. But then a rich girl called Tan Xing suddenly popped out from nowhere, saying that she would invest in the Empire Group, provided that I built an empire for her. I refused her without even thinking.”

Tang Xi laughed when she heard this. She remembered that the first time she met Qiao Liang after she was reincarnated, she pretended not to know him. Did Grandpa recognize that woman was actually the reincarnated Grandma?

“Grandpa, you didn’t recognize Grandma the first time you met her, did you?”

Tang Zhenhua nodded. “Well, how could I know your grandmother was reincarnated in another woman’s body and came back to me?!” Reminiscing those days, he smiled again. “But your grandmother became the heiress to the mysterious Tan Family. I didn’t know how powerful the Tan Family was. All I know was that your grandmother solved all my crises.”

“When did you discover grandma’s true identity?” Tang Xi looked at her grandfather curiously. As for them, she remembered at that time, she was taken to the rooftop by Qiao Liang who directly asked who she was. He had already suspected her identity and just wanted to hear her admit her identity herself. Otherwise, how could he believe her so easily?

But it seemed that Ah Liang’s psychological endurance was really strong...

Seeing Tang Xi falling into a reverie, Tang Zhenhua smiled. “Your grandmother never knew how to hide her true self. So even though she tries to pretend to be Tan Xing in front of me, her habits betrayed her. She would do what she usually did before, said what she usually said before and sang what she usually sung before, when she didn’t pay attention.”

Tang Zhenhua suddenly paused for a while before he handed another photo to Tang Xi, “This is what your grandmother looked like after she was reincarnated.”

Tang Xi smiled. “No wonder I’m so beautiful. It turns out that I look like Grandma.”

“Yes, you do look a little like your grandma when she was young.” Tang Zhenhua went on to say, “But I was so stupid back then that I didn’t find out about her real identity, although she had almost spilled the beans. It wasn’t until I overheard her talking to her assistants that I became suspicious.”

“What did they say?” Tang Xi laughed and jested, “To finally let my stupid grandpa finally doubt my grandma’s identity?”

“She was looking for your aunt too.” Tang Zhenhua pursed his lips. “When she heard that her assistant failed to find your aunt, she cried after the assistant left, and kept saying she was ‘Sorry, I really miss you, my daughter’. Since then, I suspected who she really was.”

“Yaya is my daughter. Why was she sad for her?” Tang Zhenhua looked at the girl in the photo and smiled. “So I went to ask your grandmother.”

“Then Grandma just told you the truth?” Tang Xi blinked her eyes. Since Grandma didn’t tell Grandpa who she was in the first place, perhaps she didn’t want to be with grandpa again. Did she simply tell Grandpa about her real identity?

“Of course not. Your grandmother said I mistook her for someone else.” Thinking of the past, Tang Zhenhua smiled. “I spent a lot of effort on getting your grandmother to admit that she was Jiang Suhua.”

Tang Xi smiled. “so how did you manage to do that?”

“I said I didn’t want her investment anymore. My Empire Group was created for my wife Jiang Suhua, and I will never build another empire for another woman in my life.” With that, Tang Zhenhua smiled proudly. “Hearing my words, your grandmother angrily admitted her real identity and claimed that the Empire Group could only be hers and she also wanted the Empire Garden.”

Tang Xi could imagine how sweet the two could be. They must love each other very much at that time.

Thinking of this, Tang Xi looked at Tang Zhenhua and asked him with a smile, “then you two got married?”

“If only it were so easy.” Tang Zhenhua shook his head. “I had founded the Empire Group although I just left home more than a year ago and behind your grandma was the powerful and mysterious Tan Family, so my father was very satisfied with your grandma this time. However, to our shock, Tan Xing had been engaged to Qin Yue! The Tan Family people didn’t allow your grandma to marry me and insisted that she must marry Qin Yue.”

“Of course, your grandmother wouldn’t be manipulated by them.” With that, Tang Zhenhua sneered, “Therefore, our relationship with the Qin Family became even worse. Qin Yue even tried to make trouble for me several times, but your grandmother didn’t accept his wooing. We were so deadlocked for about two years until your grandmother was pregnant with your father, and then the Tan Family people had to agree to our marriage.”
