When Xiao Xie gets to the village, she settle in as if nothing happen, when she comes back from Beljing, her parents ask her why she comes back early because she already told them that she will spend some time in Beljing before coming back to the village for Chinese New year but when she suddenly came back her mother is surprise to see her "Xie, what happen? Why are you back so early?" Xiao Xie’s mother ask looking at Xiao Xie with surprise "mom, I just miss you and Dad" Xiao Xie said with a hoarse voice and force a smile "since I could not stay away from you for a day, I decide to come back to the village to stay till college resumes" Xiao Xie lied to cover up her mood, her mother did not notice anything and just welcome her
Since Xiao Xie has switch off her phone since the Billy’s engagement party, she has not switch it on, that night after her parents are already sleeping, she switch on her phone and went out to a place she could get good service, she try to check things online to see what is happening, as soon as her phone is switched on, she sees eighty-something missed calls only from Billy and lot of messages, she check the voice messages to hear them
Xiao Xie looks angry hearing Billy tells her that he missed her but then she feels that something is wrong with Billy’s voice and she get worried "why is his voice like that? Did something happen to him?" Xiao Xie thinks looking worried but she later discard it "why should I even worry about him, he might be playing me again" she shake her head slightly to push the thought away and went back inside, but after Xiao Xie lay down to sleep, she could not sleep and begin to toss and turn because of the voice message Billy sent her, her heart becomes heavy, she feel as if something is missing in her, Xiao Xie sigh as she curl up on her bed "I think I miss him" she said in a low voice and start to cry, she use to pillow to cover her mouth so her parents will not hear her until she later fall asleep

The next day Billy make an official announcement about his grandfather's death “Tiaz group’s chairman passed away yesterday's evening” the announcement is short but the internet start to explode since the news is from the Billy himself, the people believes the news is now true since it is from the CEO himself, the people start to ask questions and say a lot of things:
“It’s really true that the chairman of Tiaz groups died”
“I could not believe it when I saw the news last night but when the new came from the CEO himself, that means is true”
“What could have happen to the chairman suddenly?”
“Maybe it is due to his daughter's case as the news said last night”
People were saying so many things about the death of Billy's grandfather and things about Tiaz groups, Billy went to the office but his immediately surrounded by reporters, he intentionally did not want to avoid the reporters to speak to them “CEO San, can you tell us why the chairman suddenly died?”
“Is it because of Miss Zi?”
“Is the chairman having any illness?”
“Is it as the news says or is there any other hidden cause?”
“Is it due to Miss Zi's case?”
“Is the chairman suffering from any terminal disease?”
The reporters ask several questions in a go, Billy face them and his face turn sore because they continue to ask irrelevant questions "the death of the chairman does not have anything to do with Miss Zi" Billy said and look at the faces of the reporters then continues "the chairman died naturally without any cause and I believe this will not affect your trust for Tiaz groups?" Billy intentionally said that for people not to start any rumor about the company or his grandfather's death "we believe that as you trust the chairman, you will continue to trust Tiaz groups. Thank you" Billy concludes and went into the company but the reporters were not satisfied “what will happen to Miss Zi?”
“Will Tiaz groups handle the case?”
“Will Tiaz groups not support Miss Tiau Zi?”
The reporters start to ask questions about Tiau Zi since there is no news from Tiaz groups about her case but the securities block them and did allow them go any further
When Billy gets into the office and turn to face Ray who has been following him "call for emergency meeting immediately and also make sure to check our partnership companies to know what they are up to" Billy said to Ray with a serious face, he knows that his grandfather's death is something serious because some of their partnership companies might want to break partnership with them in time like this "yes young master" Ray replies "and also make sure to take down any news that might affect the company negatively as soon as possible" Billy said and sigh "alright young master" Ray answer and quickly went out.
