Chapter 46

Xia Shutong whispered a few words to Xia Cha, and when she looked at the other people at the table, her expression became arrogant again.

She carefully observed everyone's expressions.

Xia Yuansi, Xia Hongtao, and Chai Lan's family were obviously very nervous, and they didn't dare to raise their heads to look at her. They only echoed one or two words when Mr. Xia spoke.

When Xia Hongye looked at Xia Shutong, she had a look of disdain, but once she looked at Mr. Xia, who was in charge, she put away her sharpness obediently.

In short, with Mr. Xia's pressure, although the meal was embarrassing, nothing happened.

After eating, Xia Cha coughed twice and cleared his throat. He looked at Xia Shutong kindly and said, "Tongtong, how about going for a walk with grandpa to eat?"

"Okay." Xia Shutong nodded.

"Dad, why don't you let Yuan Si help you..." Xia Hongtao stood up at this moment, with little confidence.

Xia Cha glanced at him, completely lacking the kindness he showed when facing Xia Shutong, and his expression instantly turned cold.

"Aren't you tired of seeing your family four or five times a week? Tongtong comes back only once in a month or two, how can Yuan Si compare with her?"

Xia Hongtao's face darkened, but he didn't dare to say anything. He just smiled awkwardly and said, "That's what Dad said."

The corners of Xia Shutong's lips raised and she rolled her eyes at them without concealing it.

After following Xia Cha to the manor, Xia Shutong immediately put away his arrogance and said respectfully: "Grandpa, may I help you?"

"Why are you supporting me! Do you really think I'm so old that I can't walk anymore?" Xia Cha sneered, and smiled lovingly, "Tongtong, it's been a long time since I met grandpa, so I'd better follow the old rules and introduce the company first. What’s going on.”

Xia Shutong recalled it for a moment and immediately told all the contents she had memorized by heart.

After hearing this, Xia Cha nodded with satisfaction, but said nothing more.

Xia Shutong followed him half a step behind.

In front is the artificial lake in the manor. Under the night, the lake reflects the mottled and dim lights, like an unreal oil painting.

Xia Cha suddenly smiled.

"Tongtong, I still remember when you first came home. At that time, you were only nineteen years old. You didn't understand anything, and your face was always timid, as if you were bullied. Now so many years have passed in the blink of an eye. , everything is different..."

Did he really return to the Xia family when he was nineteen?

Xia Shutong suppressed the surprise in his heart and agreed calmly: "Yes, grandpa, so many years have passed by."

Xia Cha turned around without warning and looked at her with a smile: "Tongtong, there is no need to pretend in front of grandpa, grandpa knows everything."

Xia Cha's smile was the same as before, kind and gentle, like an ordinary old man who loved his granddaughter.

But what he said made Xia Shutong feel cold.

Xia Shutong's fingers clenched at her side, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

What does he mean? !

Xia Shutong smiled softly and pretended not to understand: "Grandpa, what does this mean?"

"Tongtong," Xia Cha's voice deepened, "you hit your brain in a car accident and lost your memory."

He stretched out his hand, patted Xia Shutong on the shoulder, and slowly shook his head: "If you arranged it yourself, you might be able to deceive me, grandpa, but that little girl Qian Linling, you can't."

Cold sweat broke out from Xia Shutong's back. She subconsciously wanted to retreat, but her body seemed to have been drained of strength and could not move at all.

Mr. Xia smiled again, and this time, there was a bit of teasing in his eyes: "Grandpa, I haven't seen you look so afraid of me in several years. Xiao Tongtong, don't be afraid, grandpa will talk to you. chat."

Xia Shutong bit her lower lip and nodded stiffly.

The old man in front of her smiled so warmly, but it gave her an instinctive feeling of danger, as if there was a huge poisonous snake hidden behind his smile.

It seemed like every tiny movement and trivial lie would be seen through by him.

"Tongtong, tell grandpa, how much of the past do you remember?" Xia Cha asked lightly.

Xia Shutong moved his fingers slightly, and finally said honestly: "I don't remember almost all of it. I only have a few sporadic memories from childhood, but I can't remember clearly."

"Oh?" Xia Cha raised his eyebrows, "Don't remember anything? But during this period, grandpa sees that you have managed the company well."

Xia Shutong: "I... can't remember what happened, and I can't remember the people I know. But I can recall some basic common sense. There is no problem with literacy, using mobile phones, and driving. I also slowly remembered the aspects of company management." ”

"This is interesting." Xia Cha took a few steps forward with his hands behind his back.

He did not doubt the authenticity of Xia Shutong's words. Even Xia Shutong had lied in front of him very rarely, let alone now. Moreover, during this period of time, Tianjun and Wutong's operations were indeed correct. It was impossible for Qian Linling to do it alone.

Xia Shutong moved her numb legs and kept up with Xia Cha's pace.

After another moment of silence, Xia Cha spoke again and asked calmly: "Tongtong, you said you remember some sporadic memories from your childhood, so you should know that you didn't live in the Xia family before, right?"

"...Yes." Xia Shutong tried hard to suppress the tremor in her voice.
