Chapter 477: Miss Tang Became Sensible Now
Translator: Henyee Editor: Henyee
He felt quite nostalgic about those days. The Tan Family was reluctant to agree to their marriage, but Suhua was the only daughter of the Tan Family, so the Tan Family people didn’t make trouble for them anymore. However, the Qin Family was different. They were among the most powerful families in the capital back then, so the Empire Group’s business was often thwarted by them. It was damn hard for him to develop and scale up the Empire Group at that time.
He and Suhua relied on each other and pulled through those hard times. Their business was gradually picking up when Tang Xi’s father, Tang Xian, grew up. However, when the Empire Group finally became a powerful company in China and even in the world and became a real empire, she suddenly left him.
“Okay, let the past be the past. Go grab some food and take a rest. Aren’t you going to your company early tomorrow morning?” Tang Zhenhua didn’t want to think of the past again. He came back to himself and asked Tang Xi.
Tang Xi had known what happened back then and she didn’t want to continue to touch her grandfather’s scar again, so she nodded. “Okay, I happen to be hungry. Why don’t you have some food with me, Grandpa? I’ve asked Butler Tang to stew black chicken soup, and you can have some.”
“No, I don’t feel like eating. Go have some food.” Tang Zhenhua patted Tang Xi’s hand. “I still have some things to deal with.”
Tang Xi nodded, got up and left the study.
When she went out, Qiao Liang was standing by the French windows of the living room and making a phone call. He looked so handsome as the evening sun shone on him. Tang Xi stood quietly watching him making the call.

Qiao Liang, who was on the phone, suddenly felt a hot gaze on his back. He said into the phone, “Wait a minute,” looked back at Tang Xi and waved at her before he continued to talk on the phone.
Tang Xi ran over briskly, put her arm around Qiao Liang’s waist and looked up at Qiao Liang talking on the phone. When Qiao Liang finished the call, she whispered to him, “I find that even if you have a new face, you are still as bright as the sun. Is it because you are in good shape?”
Qiao Liang looked at Tang Xi with downcast eyes and turned up the corners of his mouth. He touched her hair at the temples. “Thank you.”
“Huh?” Tang Xi’s eyes flickered with doubt.
“Thank you for the compliment.” Qiao Liang smiled. “I didn’t know that a good figure could also catch your eye.”
Tang Xi chuckled and said, “That’s because it’s you.” Then she let go of Qiao Liang. “Let’s go have some soup, I’m hungry again.”
The smile over Qiao Liang’s lips immediately froze. He gave Tang Xi a deep look. “Xixi, don’t overuse your stomach.”
Tang Xi blinked her eyes and smiled at Qiao Liang. “But I am hungry indeed.”
“Let’s go see a doctor tomorrow, okay?” It was strange for her to get hungry so easily.
“Okay, okay, don’t make such a fuss.” Tang Xi dragged him to the dining room to drink soup. Tang Zhong and several servants were serving there but Tang Xi had asked them to leave. Tang Xi told Qiao Liang the story that Tang Zhenhua told her, while drinking soup, and then asked Qiao Liang who was pondering, “Do you think we still have a chance to find my aunt?”

“She couldn’t be found decades ago. I’m afraid now it will be even harder to find her.” Qiao Liang looked at Tang Xi and analyzed it to her objectively, “In those days, technology was underdeveloped and even rich people could only put a notice in newspapers when they want to find someone. It’s been almost 50 years now and it’s almost impossible to find your aunt.”
Tang Xi nodded. “I know.”
She had asked 008 for help, but 008 said he wouldn’t help her with this matter unless she exchanged his help with her experience points, and even so, she had to make her experience points reach a specified value and then exchange them for his help with the surplus points. So now she wasn’t even qualified to trade with 008!
Thinking of this, Tang Xi wondered why she had such a trash system! In the novels she read, the male and female leads all had awesome systems. These gold-fingers turned the protagonists into gods in the blink of an eye! But what about her system?
Oh, she didn’t want to mention him.
“But back then technology wasn’t as developed as today. And, you forgot about Long Xiao’s intelligence organization…”
Tang Xi suddenly didn’t speak. Every organization had its rules. A large organization like Long Xiao must have their own rules too. Even though Qiao Liang was the head of Long Xiao, he couldn’t abuse his power and resources for her. She was being selfish to ask him to mobilize Long Xiao’s resources for her. With this in mind, Tang Xi smiled at Qiao Liang. “Forget it. Just pretend you didn’t hear what I just said.”
Qiao Liang looked at Tang Xi deeply. It had been quite a while before he chuckled. “You’ve become sensible now.”
Tang Xi cast a surprised glance at him. When she figured out what he meant, she became speechless. Then she looked at him helplessly.” Last time you were injured because of me, your subordinate almost killed me. I don’t want to be hated anymore.”
“I don’t care what she thinks. I just care about you.”
Tang Xi paused and then cracked a smile. “Are you declaring that I am yours?”
“What do you think?” Pleased by Tang Xi’s loving eyes, he went to fill Tang Xi’s bowl with soup.
Good, now she finally learned to please him. These soups seemed to be good for her brain indeed.
Tang Xi didn’t know his thoughts and concentrated on the soup. It seemed that Qiao Liang really cared about her. Although he kept saying she shouldn’t eat too much, he still didn’t have the heart to see her hungry.
At this time, Tang Xi made up her mind that she must help Grandpa find Aunt!
…
The Qin Family
Qin Yue sat on the sofa and looked at his son and granddaughter coldly. “I told you not to mess up with the Tangs, and you just didn’t listen.What’s the use for you to beg me now? The Qin’s Group will be ruined by you two one day!”
“Grandpa, I know I was wrong. I swear I’ll obey your words and won’t make you any trouble again. No matter what you ask me to do, I will never disobey you!” Qin Xinying knelt on the ground, lowered her head and looked very pitiful.
Qin Benyuan also knelt down and looked up at his father, begging, “Dad, now only you can save us. There are many people waiting in my company and demanding us to repay the debts to them. After all, the Qin’s Group is our family’s property. Please help me!”
