Chapter 303: Recognized Her
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
Tang Xi was brought back from her reverie by Tang Zhenhua’s cold and stern voice. She hurriedly wiped her tears away and shook her head. “Sorry, I shouldn’t have cried. Grandpa, what can I do for you?”
Hearing her call him Grandpa, Tang Zhenhua was stunned and then became furious. He stared at Tang Zhenhua and coldly said, “I’m not your grandpa! Don’t call me that!”
Tang Xi paused. Thinking of his health, she had to choke back what she was about to say and apologized, “Sorry, I was being rude. You’re the same age as my grandfather, so I couldn’t help…”
“Alright, I’m not here to make friends with you.” Tang Zhenhua couldn’t bear to watch this girl crying, but when he thought of his own granddaughter, he hardened his heart and said, “I know you ‘re about to go to cla.s.s, but can you give me some time?”
Tang Xi nodded, looked at Tang Zhenhua and said, “Sure, Sir. What do you want to talk about with me? Shall we find a place to sit and talk?”
Tang Zhenhua grunted and then looked at a coffee shop not far away. “There’s a coffee shop over there. It’s near your school. How about going there?”
Tang Xi smiled and nodded. They walked in front and Tang Zhong and Little Six walked behind. Tang Zhenhua knew Little Six. He sneered when he saw Little Six following Tang Xi closely. “It seems that that boy is very attentive to you. He has even given you his own bodyguard.”
Tang Xi paused, looked back at Little Six, and suddenly understood why Grandpa came over to talk with her. Although just now she forgot to think about the reason why he came over because of her excitement at seeing Grandpa, upon hearing Tang Zhenhua’s words, she immediately figured out that her grandpa was here to break up her and Qiang Liang to uphold justice for his granddaughter!
Thinking of this, Tang Xi felt warmth and sourness in her heart. Grandpa probably thought she had died, but for his deceased granddaughter, he still…
Tang Xi suddenly smiled. Tang Zhenhua frowned at Tang Xi who laughed and cried by turns. “It seems that he is very kind to you. You laugh so happily when I mentioned him.”
Tang Xi nodded. “He is kind to me indeed.”
“He is so kind to you that he even stole the dress my granddaughter designed and gave it to you?!” Tang Zhenhua struck his crutch hard against the ground. Tang Xi paused. It turned out that Grandpa was angry at this matter. Without giving her time to answer, Tang Zhenhua said angrily, “I have no objection to your two being together. After all, he had broken up with my granddaughter five or six years ago. I don’t care who he is seeing, or whether he still remembers my granddaughter… but he can’t pretend to be missing my granddaughter in front of me, while he steals her belongings to give to you!”
“Gra… Sir, you have wronged him with your words.” Tang Xi reached out to support Tang Zhenhua but the latter shook off her hand. She took a step backward and said, “Calm down. Your blood pressure is high, and your cholesterol value is also high. Please don’t be agitated, don’t be agitated…”
“You…” Tang Zhenhua looked at Tang Xi and suddenly took a step back. Tang Xi hurriedly turned around and called out to Tang Zhong. “Butler Tang, blood pressure medicine! Come on, help him take the medicine!”
Butler Tang was also anxious. He quickly took out the medicine and handed the kettle he had prepared to Tang Zhenhua. “Master, come on, take the medicine.” He nagged, “I told you not to come here as soon as you got off the plane and instead wait until noon, but you insisted on coming here immediately…”
Upon hearing Butler Tang’s words, Tang Xi stared at him with her eyes wide open and shouted, “He just got off the plane? Butler Tang, how many times have I told you? Grandpa can’t…” She suddenly realized what she said and closed her mouth…
Tang Zhenhua and Butler Tang both stared at Tang Xi in shock. Butler Tang looked incredulously at her and Tang Zhenhua narrowed his eyes at her. Tang Xi was chagrined that she spilled the beans and wished she could take a needle to sew up her own mouth…
“Mr. Qiao has even told you this?” Butler Tang glared at Tang Xi.
A relieved gleam flickered across her eyes. She gave Butler Tang a thumbs up in her heart, looked up at Tang Zhenhua and said apologetically, “I shouldn’t…”
“Girl… Let’s talk.” Tang Zhenhua suddenly interrupted her and gazed deeply at Tang Xi. It had been quite a while before he turned and walked towards the park close to the school. Tang Xi blinked and hurriedly followed him before asking Little Six to wait here for her. Tang Zhenhua also refused Butler Tang from following him, although the latter requested that he could it several times.
Tang Xi walked behind Tang Zhenhua. With every step, she became uneasier. She looked at Tang Zhenhua’s tottering figure and wanted to step up to support him but dared not…
Tang Zhenhua stopped when he walked to an empty s.p.a.ce in the park. He turned back and Tang Xi who had been lowering her head almost b.u.mped against him. Tang Zhenhua noticed that she twisted her fingers together in nervousness, his eyebrows twitched and he clenched his crutch. Tang Xi stopped and looked up at Tang Zhenhua only to find his turbid eyes were filled with tears. Tang Xi couldn’t help but cry. Tang Zhenhua looked at this tearful girl, and suddenly smiled, “G.o.d really treats me well, although he always plays tricks on me.”
Tang Xi gave a surprised glance at Tang Zhenhua and blinked. Tang Zhenhua asked, “Aren’t you going to tell me the truth?”
Tang Xi widened her eyes, stared incredulously at Tang Zhenhua and asked carefully, “You’ve figured it out?”
“You called me Grandpa… and those words you said to Tang Zhong. When Xixi said those words to Tang Zhong, she had broken up with Qiao Liang, so Qiao Liang can’t know those words… and…” Tang Zhenhua said and tears flowed out of his eyes. He looked at Tang Xi and sighed. “If I hadn’t come to talk to you for that dress, were you going to keep the truth from me forever, and let me die with regret?”
Tang Xi shook her head. “I was just afraid you couldn’t accept this!”
Tang Xi didn’t expect Grandpa was so smart. She just said a few words and Grandpa had recognized her. She never expected that Grandpa would recognize her so easily…
Tang Zhenhua was relieved to hear Tang Xi admit it. He kept nodding and wiping away his tears as he said, “As long as you’re still alive. As long as you’re still alive. No matter what ident.i.ty you live with, I just want you to be alive… I just want you to be alive! Then I can face your grandma after I die.”
“But how did you recognize me, Grandpa?” Tang Xi wondered. If it were her, she might doubt it and would never think of reincarnation if she hadn’t experienced it herself.
