"You know, I grew up overseas until I was old enough to return home, but most of my family still lives abroad."

He spoke softly and paused for a moment before continuing, "My grandma is also overseas. This time, I've come specifically to visit her. Her health isn't too good recently."

Seeing Xiao Tong's worry, he smiled, "It's not a big problem, it's mainly because the elder is old. In addition, after so many years, there's still one thing on his mind. He's worried too much.

Xiao Tong asked, "What's on your mind? "What's on your mind?"

After asking this, she felt a bit of regret. This was someone else's family matter, and she couldn't decide if she was willing to say it or not. Yet, she still asked so straightforwardly and straightforwardly.

He had originally been afraid that he would be embarrassed, but hadn't expected that Xiyan hadn't cared about this at all. He opened his mouth and said, "Others say that of all the juniors in the family, my grandma loves me the most, but that's not the case."

He thought for a while and continued, "When I was very young, I had a younger sister. She was my cousin, my grandmother's granddaughter. She was born to her favorite son."

"Ever since my little sister was born, my grandmother has been overjoyed. It really has hurt her to the core."

Judging from Xi Yan's expression and the words he said earlier, Xiao Tong could tell that this little sister's final outcome wasn't good enough. Xiao Tong's heart sank, but she didn't say anything and only waited for him to continue.

Some people say that her little cousin's bones have already turned cold, but after all these years, her grandma has never given up on searching for her. As long as she doesn't find her bones, then she will always be convinced that her beloved granddaughter is still alive.

However, after so many years had passed and there was still no news of her, how could she possibly be found?

If he died, after so many years, perhaps the ashes and water would become one, or the grass would become taller than the man. There would be no chance for him to find more corpses.

If she hadn't died, then perhaps this little girl would have changed her surname long ago. She would have completely forgotten all about the matters of her childhood and the memories of her family and bloodline.

However, she naturally wouldn't say these words, she could only follow Xiyan's words and comfort him, "With this old man's concern, your family will definitely have a reunion one day."

Xi Yan suddenly laughed. With a carefree look in his eyes, he looked at Xiao Tong with a bright gaze, "Really? I think so too. "

He added, "A few days ago, I heard from Grandma that she seemed to have found some traces of the past. Originally, there was no news about it for so many years, but suddenly, something happened and it made me excited. Later on, when I was halfway through the investigation, all the information was broken. Granny's body couldn't take this blow and she went to bed. As he spoke, his expression became complicated.

Every family had a scripture that was difficult to memorize. Xiao Tong had been raised to an assassin as a child, so it was difficult for her to understand the feelings between family members. However, she was moved by Xi Yan's expression.

She had always thought that he was a heartless rich young master. Every day, he would pass from this delicate flower to that pink butterfly, busily coaxing the girl until she was extremely busy. She hadn't thought that he would also have such an emotional side to him.

Xiyan glanced at her and saw that her expression was a bit heavy. She laughed. He tapped her forehead and said intimately, "Silly girl, there's nothing to be sad about."

The two of them moved closer. The weird thing was, Xiao Tong didn't feel disgusted with them. Instead, she felt a strange sense of familiarity and intimacy from the man in front of her, so she didn't avoid him.

It was only today that she began to really look at him.

After chatting for a bit longer, Xi Yan brought up the topic of conversation with Xiao Tong, "Don't worry about me anymore. On the other hand, I heard that you and CEO Si had met with quite a bit of trouble recently?"

She knew what he was talking about. It was just a matter of the company, and perhaps Xia Qiuling was making things difficult for her in the open or in the dark. However, her expression didn't change much after hearing what he said and she merely nodded.

When she mentioned this topic, she couldn't help but let her thoughts wander.

Although she had received countless kinds of training since she was a child, and was familiar with dozens of methods to quietly take a life without anyone discovering her, she could easily knock over a strong man with a single punch, and could disguise herself as someone who would not be discovered by others.

However, she couldn't help Sihan in this matter.

The trouble that the company was facing was much bigger than she had imagined. After all, the person who was hibernating had not been found out. Who knew what kind of trouble they would cause in the future? Fortunately, Si Han had secretly gone to investigate the person who leaked the information.

Although the man had done it skillfully, he hadn't found any useful information in a long time.

Xiao Tong's eyes were lowered as she stared fixedly at the bone china cup in front of her.

Xi Yan patted her on the shoulder: "What?"

He blinked, his amber pupils rippling like a rare diamond. "You seem really worried. Do you want to consider asking me for help?"

Xiao Tong opened her eyes wide, "What can I ask you to do?"

With his large family and large company, Sihan was one of the biggest companies in the country. Now that he had met with this kind of trouble, even he himself would find it hard to deal with it. How could Xi Yan help?

Naturally, she did not believe it.

Xi Yan joked: "Please let me help you. I'll help you settle this mess."

Her smile was not sincere, her words were not sincere, and her evaluation was poor!

Xiao Tong only thought that he was teasing her on purpose and didn't take his words to heart. She only thought of it as a joke.

Seeing that Xiao Tong didn't say anything, Xi Yan raised his eyebrows but didn't say anything.

At this moment, Xiao Tong suddenly received a call.

Xiao Tong's expression changed when he heard that. He then said, "Well done. Send the real time location to me. Leave the rest to me."

Xiao Tong hung up the phone and smiled apologetically at him. "Sorry, I have something to do …"

Seeing him in such a state, Xi Yan casually waved his hands and casually said, "Alright, alright. Since you have something urgent, go and busy yourself with it. Let's meet again another day."

"Alright." Xiao Tong responded and quickly walked out.

At this moment, at the Si residence.

Ever since Xiao Tong and Si Han had moved out of the old residence, Xia Qiuling had finally had a few days of comfortable days. If there was nothing to do, he would just find some of his sisters to go shopping and do some beauty work. After that, he would compete and show off. His daily life was quite comfortable.

On this day, Xia Qiu Ling no longer went to look for her sisters. Instead, she went to look for Si Chen Ao stealthily.

At this moment, Si Chen Ao was working in the company. When he heard his assistant say that someone was looking for him, he thought it was someone. The moment he walked out, he saw Xia Qiu Ling and rubbed his eyes in surprise.
