The Capital.
Qin Xinying appeared at the gate of the Empire Garden in a white strapless dress. The maid who opened the door for her was very happy to see her. “Miss Qin, it’s been a long time. Did you come here to visit Miss?”
When Qin Xinying heard the maid mention Tang Xi, her face stiffened for a second but soon returned to normal, with a smile towards the maid she asked, “Is Xixi back?”
The maid shook her head. “No, this time Miss has been playing around for too long, but she’ll call Master from time to time to let him know she is safe. Master said she played too happily to remember to come back home.” With that, the maid smiled proudly. “But Miss went to travel after being busy at work for a long time. It’s not bad for her to have some fun. Anyway, Master doesn’t mind it.”
A sarcastic gleam flashed across Qin Xinying’s eyes, but she quickly covered it up and said, “Yes, Xixi works so hard. She really needs to relax. I came to see Grandpa Tang and check on his physical condition for her.”
Hearing this, the maid smiled. “Miss Qin, you’re really thoughtful. I know you’re so concerned about Master’s body because you don’t want Miss to worry. Our Miss will be moved if she knows you’re so nice to her.”
Qin Xinying raised her eyebrows at the maid and got in the car. She gently smiled. “How is Grandpa Tang recently? Has his blood pressure gone up? Is his heart okay? Give him less meat, because he has high cholesterol…” After a long nagging, Qin Xinying asked, “By the way, Grandpa Tang hasn’t been stimulated lately, has he?”
The maid was moved to see that Qin Xinying was so concerned about Tang Zhenhua. She answered Qin Xinying’s question with a smile. “Our Master has been in good health recently. Miss went out for fun, Master doesn’t need to manage the company so he has been home recently. Besides, Butler Tang takes very good care of Master. Master has been on a light diet and has never been stimulated. But Mistress’ death anniversary is coming, so Master was not in a very good mood for the last two days.”
Qin Xinying narrowed her eyes. His mood wasn’t very good?
Soon the car stopped in front of the villa. Qin Xinying said thank you to the maid with a smile, jumped out of the car and walked towards the villa. At the exact moment she turned away, the smile on her face disappeared. But when she came to the gate of the villa, she immediately put on another gentle smile and knocked at the door…
Tang Zhong came to the door. When he saw Qin Xinying standing at the door, a surprised look appeared in his eyes and he asked in surprise, “Miss Qin, why have you come?”
“I miss Grandpa Tang, so I came to see him. Where is he?” Qin Xinying directly walked inside as if this was her home, stepping through and looking around.
Tang Zhong followed Qin Xinying inside and said, “Master is reading a book in the study and doesn’t want to be disturbed.” He asked Qin Xinying to sit in the living room, and asked the maids to prepare tea and pastries for Qin Xinying. Afterwards he stood aside and asked, “Miss Qin, Yesterday I saw the news about you. Weren’t you still in City A yesterday? Why did you come back the capital all of a sudden?”
Qin Xinying smiled, looked at Tang Zhong and spoke softly, “I got a call from Xixi yesterday. She asked me to send her a silk scarf that’s in her cabinet. I just came back this morning.”
Tang Zhong narrowed his eyes but quickly concealed his suspicion. “Silk scarf?” When did Miss need a silk scarf? Besides, how could Miss make a phone call now?
Qin Xinying didn’t find the suspicion of Tang Zhong at all, and said with a smile, “Besides, Xixi specially asked me to help her check Grandpa Tang’s physical condition, so I came here from City A.”
Tang Zhong smiled and said mildly, “Our Miss is just too fond of playing. Why didn’t she tell us to send her the silk scarf when she called us last night? It’s so much trouble for you to come here in person. Sorry for troubling you.”
That being said, Tang Zhong’s tone was cold, Qin Xinying seemed not to feel anything wrong from Tang Zhong’s words. She chuckled and said, “Perhaps she was afraid you didn’t know which silk scarf she wanted, so she asked me to find it for her. Besides, Butler Tang, you’re so loyal to Grandpa Tang. You’ll probably only tell Xixi what Grandpa Tang wanted her to know, right? So she trusts me more.”
Tang Zhong laughed to hide the coldness in his eyes. Then he said to Qin Xinying, “Miss Qin, just a moment. Let me call our Master out.”
Qin Xinying smiled, “Okay, Butler Tang, please.”
Tang Zhong smiled and turned to walk towards Tang Zhenhua’s study. At the very moment he turned around, the smile on his face disappeared.
Qin Xinying was lying. He should have asked Master to strongly oppose Miss making friends with her. If it weren’t for her, Miss and Mr. Qiao would not have separated, and then she wouldn’t…
Hearing Tang Zhong’s words, Tang Zhenhua frowned, thought for two seconds and stood up, “Then let’s go to see why this girl came here.”
“Master, she must want to go into Miss’s room. I will never let her do that. Doesn’t she know what she has done to Miss before? How can she have the cheek to go into Miss’s room?” Tang Zhong said resentfully, “We should ban her from entering the Empire Garden!”
Tang Zhenhua looked at Tang Zhong and shook his head, “You’re already old. How can you still lose your temper so easily? Let’s meet her first.”
Qin Xinying looked at the energetic Tang Zhenhua and was slightly shocked. It seemed that what they said was true. Grandpa Tang didn’t know anything about Tang Xi’s death! No wonder he still looked energetic!
Tang Zhenhua frowned when he saw Qin Xinying, but when Qin Xinying looked at him, he immediately put on a faint smile on his face. He walked over with a walking stick and Qin Xinying stood up and greeted him, “Grandpa Tang, you look well. It seems that Xixi doesn’t need to miss you all the time when she travels outside.
Tang Zhenhua smiled and asked Qin Xinying to have a seat. He sat down on an armchair, shook his head and said, “I’m too old to be of any use. The girl laughed at me when she called me last night. You’re better than her because you still know coming to visit me. That darn girl plays too happily to remember to come back home.”
Qin Xinying smiled. “Xixi finally has the time to travel. Grandpa Tang, why not let her enjoy herself? Anyway, Xixi is so capable, even if she is travelling she can manage the company well by remotely controlling it.”
Tang Zhenhua laughed and nodded. Then he looked at Qin Xinying and said, “I heard that you’ve become a special designer for the Qiao’s International Group. Congratulations!”
Qin Xinying smiled and immediately remembered why she came here.
