  “Grandpa Tang, I’m so flattered. If Xixi hadn’t supported me in designing all these years, I wouldn’t have achieved what I have. The achievement I gained today is all because of Xixi. I should thank her.” As she said this she smiled even more sincerely. Then she looked at Tang Zhenhua. “So Grandpa Tang, please don’t praise me, or else I would be embarrassed.”


  Tang Zhenhua laughed, looked at Qin Xinying kindly and kept nodding. “You’re really a good girl. You know the significance of gratitude. At my age, I’ve seen a lot of ingrates, it’s rare to see a grateful girl like you. You really moved me. If you need any help in the future, just let me know and I’ll definitely support you.”


  Qin Xinying looked so moved by Tang Zhenhua’s words. She walked over to sit beside Tang Zhenhua and said with feelings of gratitude “Grandpa Tang, you and Xixi are so nice to me. I can hardly hold in my tears.”


  Tang Zhenhua’s hand stiffened but then he laughed out loud and patted Qin Xinying’s hand. “Silly girl, since you are Xixi’s good friend, I take you as my granddaughter. I should be nice to you.”


  Qin Xinying nodded hard. “Then please let me take care of you like Xixi does in the future.”


  Tang Zhenhua smiled and kept nodding. Then he looked at Tang Zhong and said, “Find Xixi’s silk scarf and bring it here.”


  Qin Xinying’s smile froze when she heard Tang Zhenhua’s words and she hurriedly said, “Grandpa Tang, let me find it. You know, Xixi doesn’t like others to enter her room. Butler Tang may not know where Xixi’s silk scarf is. I’ll go upstairs and find it. It’s not necessary to bother Butler Tang.”


  Tang Zhenhua took a look at Qin Xinying and nodded with a smile. “Okay, go ahead. You little girls are all fanatics for cleanliness. Why do you hate others entering your rooms? Alright, you take it for her. And you can ask her whether she needs anything else. You can send it to her all at once. I’ll go to visit her grandmother’s grave tomorrow, so I won’t be home for the next few days. At that point you might not be able to enter this house. Then that darn girl might complain to me.”


  When Qin Xinying heard this, her eyes lit up and she almost wanted to jump up. Was God helping her?! Now she could take Tang Xi’s painting album away and tell them Tang Xi wanted to paint!

  With this in mind, Qin Xinying secretly cursed

  and went upstairs smiling.

  Tang Zhenhua looked sideways at Qin Xinying’s back and shook his head coldly. As soon as she entered Tang Xi’s room, he sighed. “This girl is too greedy and can’t control her expressions. Does she really think I’m too old to see through her?”


  “Then, Master, why did you let her enter Miss’s room?” Tang Zhong looked puzzled at Tang Zhenhua. “Shouldn’t we drive this kind of person out with broom? Thinking of what she did to Miss, I am so angry!”


  “You’re already old. You should learn to control your temper.” Tang Zhenhua stood up with a smile. “When I entered Xixi’s room this morning, I found that many of her belongings were missing, including her painting albums and that red dress, which I think were taken away by Qiao Liang the day before yesterday.”


  Tang Zhong was shocked. “But when Mr. Qiao and his men left that day, I didn’t see him take anything with him!”


  Tang Zhenhua laughed, shook his head and took a look at Tang Zhong. “How is it going about our investment on the Qin’s Group?”


  Tang Zhong looked at Tang Zhenhua in surprise. “Master, do you still want to invest in the Qin’s Group?”


  “Of course not.” Tang Zhenhua sighed and stood up. “Tell them to stop all investments on the Qin’s Group. Though it has been several decades, those people still had to pay for what they had done, let alone their granddaughter murdered my granddaughter. I swear I’ll make them pay.” He walked towards his study on crutches, saying, “I don’t want to see that girl again. Tell those maids to remember who can enter the Empire Garden and who can’t. If they can’t remember it, they’ll be fired. Anyway, the Empire Garden has never been short of maids.”


  Tang Zhong paused, nodded and then answered,” I see.”


  Tang Zhenhua grunted and walked into his study……

  Qin Xinying rummaged around in Tang Xi’s room, no matter if it was the inner layer of the bookcase, the inner layer or the ceiling of the wardrobe, the nightstand, even the safe in Tang Xi’s room, she just couldn’t find the USB drive and the painting albums that contained Tang Xi’s design drawings.

  “That’s strange. They were here the last time I saw them! Why did they suddenly disappear?” Qin Xinying said and started rummaging around again.

  Suddenly she saw an empty hanger and frowned. If she remembered correctly, there should be a dress here. Where was it now?

  She was about to go to it when the door was suddenly knocked. Qin Xinying stopped her pacing and hurriedly walked towards the wardrobe. She tiptoed and pretended to search for the scarf, while shouting, “Please come in.

  Tang Zhong came in and saw Qin Xinying standing on her toes and looking for the silk scarf in the wardrobe. He hurried over and said, “Miss Qin, haven’t you found it yet? You can’t reach it? Let me help you.”


  Qin Xinying took a step back and smiled at Tang Zhong. “Thank you, Butler Tang.”


  Tang Zhong said, “You are welcome”. He quickly found the silk scarf and handed it to Qin Xinying. Qin Xinying’s face was pale but she still forced a smile and said softly, “Someone moved the stuff in Xixi’s room, so I couldn’t find it. I remember that all her silk scarves were placed in the closet.”


  Tang Zhong smiled. “We recruited a new maid who knew nothing and moved a lot of Miss’s stuff into the storage room. When Master found about it, he lost his temper and dismissed the maid.”


  “The storage room?” Qin Xinying looked suspiciously at Tang Zhong,”Then why don’t you move back Xixi’s stuff?”


  “There are too many things in the storage room, so we dare not move them at random. We called Miss and asked her how to deal with them. Miss said that she would clean up by herself after she came back, and didn’t allow us to touch them. She warned us not to touch her painting album, which we couldn’t afford, so we dared not touch them……”


  Qin Xinying blinked and forced a smile. “Painting albums?”


  Tang Zhong smiled and led Qin Xinying to go outside, “Our Miss likes drawing pictures when she is free. As you know, Miss Qin, we can’t understand her drawings. She doesn’t allow us to touch them, so I just place them there.”
