She was very decisive, not hesitant at all, and didn't even try to stop me from leaving!

Lu Jianshen clenched his fists tightly, feeling even more suffocated.

"Tang Li, what I dislike most is your indifferent attitude. You are always so indifferent to everything, or rather, to everything that concerns me!"

Tang Li bit her lip and remained silent.

That's not the case. It was precisely because she hesitated and cherished the relationship so much that she chose to agree to get a marriage certificate with Lu Jianshen.

Lu Jianshen would never understand the pain and turmoil in her heart; there are some things he'd better never know in his entire life.

Twenty minutes later, the two came out of the Civil Affairs Bureau, both looking somewhat dejected.

"I wish you happiness. I still have some things to take care of at the company, so I'll be leaving now."

After Tang Li finished speaking, she turned her back, rushed into the car as fast as she could, closed the door, and then couldn't help but cry.

What I showed in front of Lu Jianshen just now was all a pretense of strength. It's good that Lu Jianshen can't see through it, at least he won't suspect anything.

Looking at the divorce certificate in her hand, Tang Li felt as if something was blocking her heart, making it hard to breathe.

She quickly stuffed the divorce certificate into the car, pretending not to see it.

Tang Li thought that as long as she ignored it, she could pretend it didn't exist and that the divorce had never happened.

It was all just self-deception.

I glanced at the time; it was not even ten o'clock yet, and the weather outside was unusually sunny and bright.

Tang Li took a deep breath and tried her best to adjust her mindset. She also had an appointment to meet with the senior Gu Qiquan, and she couldn't keep the old man waiting for her for too long.

Keeping busy helps you quickly recover from the negative emotions surrounding the divorce.

Tang Group.

After Tang Li entered her office, she saw an elderly man with white hair, who looked to be over 80 years old.

The old man is only 72 years old, but his hair is already gray, and he still looks very energetic.

"Hello, Grandpa Gu!"

When Gu Qiquan saw Tang Li, his smile became more pronounced, and his wrinkles deepened.

"It's been so many years since I last saw you, my little girl. The last time I saw you, you were only five years old. Do you still remember your grandpa Gu?"

Tang Li couldn't remember anything from when she was around 5 years old, so she could only laugh awkwardly.

Tang Li wanted to learn about her grandfather's early days of starting his business and about her grandfather and mother when she met his old friend.

Gu Qiquan talked about Tang Yihui's entrepreneurial story when he was young, and also said that he and Tang Yihui were once good brothers who went through thick and thin together.

“Your grandfather was a very righteous and compassionate man. He knew long ago that your father wasn’t his biological son, but he didn’t dwell on it too much. I told him back then…”

At this point, Gu Qiquan frowned, shook his head, and looked quite regretful.

There were some things he couldn't say aloud. No matter how many faults Tang Nanquan had, he was still Tang Li's father.

“Your father…he disappointed your grandfather, and I can’t say anything about it. I warned him before, but he didn’t believe me. He always felt that his son was the one he raised. Your father has held a grudge against me for many years because of this…”

Tang Li was young at the time and didn't remember many of the things she experienced as a child. Now she only heard about them from Gu Qiquan, and she didn't believe them all.

However, Gu Qiquan's argument was reasonable and well-founded, and he even presented evidence.

"This is a photo of me and your grandfather when he was 50 years old. Back then, you weren't even born yet. I'm telling your grandfather, he should have been a little wary of your father. He trusted Nanquan completely back then. Some things, if it weren't for later, when I met Zhou Yuansong, Nanquan's assistant from his earlier years..."

Tang Li looked somewhat surprised when she heard the name Zhou Yuansong.

"Grandpa Gu, isn't Zhou Yuansong already dead?"

Gu Qiquan shook his head. "I ran into him by chance. Your father did send people to kill him, but I saved him."

Gu Qiquan sighed and dialed another video call.

The person on the other end of the phone was Zhou Yuansong.

“Lili, if you have any questions, you can ask him directly. Your Uncle Zhou is still resting in the sanatorium. His legs are crippled and he can’t stand up anymore.”

Tang Li looked at Zhou Yuansong's aged appearance.

She remembered that before she was ten years old, Tang Nanquan's assistant was Zhou Yuansong.

Tang Li quickly asked some questions that had been troubling her, including her mother's death and her grandfather's instructions from back then.

"The old man knew about Mr. Tang's affair back then. He tried to stop it for his daughter's happiness, but Mr. Tang wouldn't listen to him and even clashed with the old man over it..."

“Miss, you are a young girl. Mr. Tang has always wanted to have a son. The woman outside gave birth to a son for him, and he was very happy. He wanted to bring the child back, but the old man wouldn’t allow it.”

"Back then, the old man's will completely omitted him! He was furious when he found out. The old man's death was very suspicious, but we had no evidence..."

After listening to Zhou Yuansong talk for a while, Tang Li gradually calmed down.

This means that not only was the mother's death suspicious, but the grandfather's death was also likely man-made.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhou, thank you for telling me all this. I'll come visit you when I have time."

Zhou Yuansong shook his head. "Miss, I don't have much time left. If I can tell you all these truths before I die, I can say that I have done right by the old man and the madam."
