Xiao Tong thought that she would have to go through a lot to be certain of her identity. She even thought that she might have to go through a lot of trouble just to be certain of her identity.
It was a pity that it was not as brutal as he had imagined. Could it be that it was because of the two 1.8 meters tall men standing beside him?
Xiao Tong laughed, her eyes blooming with a resolute and resplendent light as she looked at Shangguan Qi's face.
"That's right, I'm the Shangguan Crystal you've been looking for. My name right now is Xiao Tong."
Lightly opening her teeth, Xiao Tong introduced herself word by word.
Shangguan Qi was at a loss, but his heart had already been thrown into chaos.
He was indeed the eldest brother's child. Even after a few decades of wandering around, he still possessed the same demeanor as he had back then.
At this moment, he was incomparably sure of one fact in his heart. The girl he had lost that year had really returned.
He rubbed his broad palms together and swallowed. He was slightly nervous as he calculated in his heart. He wanted a lot of things, Xiao Tong's appearance might be a good thing.
"Since you've truly appeared, that's truly great. Who is this?"
He obviously already knew the answer, but Shangguan Qi was still asking about Si Han's origins.
Si Han stood up on his own. With a body of about 1.8 meters, Shangguan Qi, who was already middle-aged, was instantly suppressed to the point that he had no place to hide.
"I'm his husband. My family name is Si."
In this place, there was no need to introduce it in detail. As long as one looked at his imposing appearance, they would know that he was destined to be different from the masses. When they thought of his surname, they already knew the answer in their hearts.
Shangguan Qi could feel the strong pressure from his opponent. This man's strength was not to be underestimated, and Xiao Tong's strength was not to be questioned.
But so what? People live for benefits. Since this girl wants to take back what belongs to her, she can let her live without a single blade of grass.
The old cunning fox, Shangguan Qi, was very confident in himself.
"So it's you! I wanted to visit the Master Si for a long time, until I lost all my energy. I didn't expect that you would still unknowingly form a family."
Si Han smiled and vaguely nodded as he dealt with the matter.
Shangguan Qi had someone prepare a table of specialties, and an expensive champagne was placed on top of the table.
Although Xiao Tong felt that the whole room was very cold, the sense of familiarity became more and more intense.
She rejected Shangguan Qi's invitation to have dinner together with her. Thinking of her reason for coming here, she slightly bowed her body.
"Uncle, let my husband and big brother Xiyan accompany you. I want to see the place where I grew up."
Shangguan Qi was startled at first, but then nodded quickly.
"Old man, hurry up and bring Jingjing over to take a look."
Hearing this strange and disrespectful way of addressing him, Xiao Tong couldn't help but look at him.
It was obvious that the two of them were not that close, why did he address the old housekeeper like that?
The old butler didn't care too much about it. He walked in front of Xiao Tong and led the way while reaching out his hand.
"Miss, please come this way, I'll take you to have a look."
The sunlight here was very good. Xiao Tong felt that her eyes had been captivated by it several times.
A familiar smell, with faint dust drifting in the air.
Xiao Tong's heart was moved to a complete mess. As she walked around, the memories in the depths of her mind were awakened.
"Miss, this is the bedroom you stayed in when you were young. I'll bring you over to take a look."
The old butler held a long string of keys in his hand as he pushed open the exquisitely carved wooden door.
When Xiao Tong opened the door, it was filled with the feeling of time.
The familiar things, the sculptures, the books he had read when he was young, the video discs he had seen, and the dolls he had played with were all left untouched.
The only difference was that it was covered with a thick layer of dust.
Xiao Tong felt her nose sour as she continued to walk. That was her own music room.
When he was young, he could sing and dance, so when he grew up, he would have a different temperament.
Xiao Tong touched her cello and the piano from her childhood. They were still there, untouched, as if they were waiting for their master to reveal the secrets of time.
Xiao Tong tried her best to calm her heart and let out a light breath.
In the end, the room was filled with dust, causing him to choke.
He began to cough violently, his lungs were in turmoil, and he felt a sticky sensation on his throat.
The old housekeeper looked on worriedly and patted Xiao Tong's shoulder.
Watching her grow up bit by bit, he didn't expect her to come back to him like this.
What was strange was that he also had the same habit as when he was young. When he coughed, his face would turn red.
"Miss, you're still the same as when I was young. I recognized you with a single glance."
Xiao Tong nodded and smiled.
She thought of how, as a child, she had grown up under the care of the old housekeeper. He must have known her.
"Uncle, is your relationship with Shangguan Qi good?"
Because Xiao Tong knew that her parents' departure was related to him, she did not hold back at all and directly stated her position in a place where no one else was.
The old steward smiled bitterly. Indeed, the young lady had come back this time to ask for an explanation.
He sighed with emotion in his heart. Shangguan Qi, it's not that the time isn't right yet, but your retribution is finally coming.
As Xiao Tong's burning gaze met with his, the old butler spoke his mind.
"It's just doing things for others and doing your duty, regardless of your character."
Xiao Tong nodded and understood the old housekeeper's attitude. She also understood that he was very close to her from the bottom of his heart.
She cordially pulled the old housekeeper's hand and asked earnestly.
"Uncle, after I lost that year, I lost all my memories too. You must have know how I lost them at that time, right? "He won't tell me."
The old steward's eyes were long as he recalled the past. He felt as if he had gained strength.
His memories were so clear, he remembered them clearly, until this day, when he could calmly tell them everything that had happened in his heart.
"After the main butler and mistress passed away, Miss became depressed and depressed. After that, Shangguan Qi asked me to bring you out for a walk. You trusted me so much, so you didn't let go of me."
Xiao Tong smiled as an image appeared in her mind.
The old butler continued speaking with a complicated expression on his face, as if he was grieving over something.
"I was taking you out to play when I suddenly met a group of hooligans. I kept pestering them, but the moment I turned around, you were gone, Miss."
The old housekeeper let out a long sigh. What happened that year had once again struck his heart.
Two streams of clear tears ran down Xiao Tong's face, her nails digging into the flesh. Listening to the old housekeeper's story, Xiao Tong's heart was filled with anger.
