They were in the same boat from the start, and if Lu Wenshan offended the Tang family, he would certainly not have a good outcome.

"Lu Wenshan was afraid that Lu Jianshen's mother would gain his father's favor, and that his father would then change his will and leave everything to Lu Jianshen. So he decided to go all the way and secretly murdered Lu Jianshen's mother!"

"Tang Li, you absolutely cannot be with him!"

Tang Li stood there in a daze, unable to recover for a long time.

"The reason he likes you so much now is because he doesn't know what happened back then, and he doesn't know that his mother's death was an accident!"

"Lili, if he finds out, he will never forgive you!"

Tang Li demanded sternly, "Why did you do this? Why did you commit such a heinous and murderous act? Go to the police station right now and turn yourself in!"

Tang Nanquan merely frowned as he listened to his daughter's question.

"What did you say? You want me to go to the police station and turn myself in? Are you kidding me?!"

If Tang Nanquan hadn't done that back then, how could he have brought so many business deals to the Tang family?

Moreover, without the protection of the Lu family, the Tang family would be nothing!

"What can I do? I'm just being controlled by others. If I don't help Lu Wenshan, even more people will. I'm just... adding fuel to the fire."

Tang Nanquan looked at the hesitant look on his daughter's face and felt very worried.

If she were to expose this, the entire Tang family would suffer.

"I'm warning you, you absolutely must not tell Lu Jianshen about this. If you do, it will be a catastrophe for our Tang family. Not only will you lose your love, but our entire family will also be doomed!"

Tang Li gritted her teeth and glared at him, "You really are my good father!"

“I forgive you for what you and Lu Jianshen did these past few days, but you need to break up with him as soon as possible and never be with this person again.”

Tang Nanquan had already arranged everything before calling his daughter over.

“Lili, I am your father after all. Of course I would not want to hurt my daughter. I will find a reason to send you abroad to study so that you can forget about these things and start over.”

Tang Li just smiled coldly.

Isn't doing this hurting her?

Destroy her love, leave her with nothing, and turn her against the man she loves.

Tang Li stared into Tang Nanquan's eyes, eyes that were so familiar yet so strange.

"You're asking me to choose between him and my family, isn't that right?"

"Lili, don't be stubborn. Even if you choose him and tell him the truth, he still won't choose you. The hatred for killing your mother is irreconcilable; he will never forgive you!"

Tang Nanquan looked at his daughter. Ever since he told her about this, she had become his partner in a community of shared interests, and she could never betray the Tang family.

"Lili, you have my blood in your veins, you are Lu Jianshen's enemy!"
