Shen Qingxu pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and then said, "I still don't really support you doing this. You've been living a very happy life these past few years, why do you want to go back and suffer?"

Shen Qingxu didn't want Tang Li to get involved in any more trouble; she was happy and content with her simple life.

If he could, he would have preferred that Tang Li remain the carefree young lady of the Tang family, never having experienced those hardships or suffered any pain.

"Brother, Mom never intended to abandon you. It was Tang Nanquan who plotted to separate you and your father. Don't you want to avenge Mom and Grandpa?"

"Tang Yihui is not only my grandfather, he is also your grandfather! Why should those despicable and vile people like Song Lan and Ye Ru take away everything that belongs to us?"

Tang Li stared intently at Shen Qingxu.

She was heartbroken that her beloved father had suddenly become her enemy.

But running away won't solve anything; they'll have to face it eventually: their mother's death and Tang Nanquan's conspiracy.

Shen Qingxu didn't speak. After a long silence, he finally raised his head.

"Lili, I'll help you."

No matter what his sister does, as long as Lili wants to do it, he will support her unconditionally.

Tang Li nodded gently, but the thought of Tang Nanquan's actions still made her feel extremely distressed.

Once back in China, Tang Li would have to face a series of problems, including those involving Lu Jianshen.

That evening, Tang Li didn't draw her own design sketches as usual, nor did she study with her teacher. Instead, she went to look up information about Lu Jianshen's affairs over the past few years.

She then learned that Lu Jianshen had been single for the past few years, having painstakingly planned and devoted himself to his career, making the Lu Group bigger and bigger.

Apart from that, he has zero romantic experience.

Looking at that familiar face on the computer screen, Tang Li's heart was still pounding.

Her hand holding the mouse trembled slightly, and her eyes looked slightly sore behind her transparent glasses.

She and Lu Jianshen, it's impossible for them anymore.

Meanwhile, the Lu Group.

Chen Lei paced back and forth outside the president's office, thinking about what he had recently discovered. He decided to tell President Lu first.

Even if his hopes are dashed, he still has to voice his doubts.

With that thought in mind, Chen Lei mustered his courage, knocked on the door, and went inside.

"Mr. Lu, I've recently discovered something very strange."

Lu Jianshen responded softly, without saying anything more, waiting for him to continue.

"Do you remember when Miss Tang Li designed Fang Yunduo's dowry? Those 106 pieces of jewelry. Although Miss Tang Li is no longer here, Fang Yunduo has all 106 pieces of jewelry."

He only recently noticed that the Fang family had taken out those 106 pieces of jewelry for exhibition, and all 106 pieces of jewelry had actually been made!

This is clearly problematic.

If the designers are no longer around, where did the design drawings come from? Did they change designers?

But Fang Yunduo has never been heard to contact any other designers.

Lu Jianshen paused in his typing, his face suddenly darkening. "What do you mean?"

Chen Lei continued, "I investigated further and found that Fang Yunduo did not hire any other designers. I even had a professional designer analyze the design concept, and it can be confirmed that the entire design was completed by the same person!"

Lu Jianshen himself was unaware that his voice was trembling.

"You mean, Lili might still be alive?"

Chen Lei nodded. "That's possible."

Lu Jianshen could no longer sit still, regardless of the upcoming video conference.

Lu Jianshen rushed out of the office and went to the Fang family home. He wanted to find Fang Yunduo and get some answers.

"Fang Yunduo, Fang Yunduo!"

Fang Yunduo was enjoying tea with her best friend at home when Lu Jianshen barged in so abruptly, and she frowned in displeasure.

"Mr. Lu, are you a bandit?! This is my house. You barged in without knocking. Do you believe I'll call the police? I've never seen anyone as unruly as you..."

"Who designed your 106 pieces of jewelry? Don't tell me you found a new designer, it's still Tang Li, right?" Lu Jianshen interrupted her.

Fang Yunduo lowered her eyes and pretended to drink tea, but in reality, she was trying to hide her panic.

She never expected that Lu Jianshen would find out.

Tang Li had specifically reminded her not to take out those 108 pieces of jewelry.

But when his mother saw the whole set of jewelry, she was so happy that she decided to hold an exhibition, which is how Lu Jianshen discovered it.

Fang Yunduo feigned composure, "Who told you it was Tang Li? Tang Li has already passed away. There are so many designers who have followed in her footsteps, so it couldn't be someone else?"

Lu Jianshen simply did not believe what she said.

"Fang Yunduo, do you know where Tang Li is? Tell me."

Fang Yunduo looked resistant, her pretty face showing annoyance.

"Lu Jianshen, I really don't know what you're talking about. You should go home as soon as possible and stop acting crazy here!"

"You didn't cherish him when he was alive, and now that he's gone, you come to me demanding his return. Don't you think that's going too far?" Fang Yunduo complained a couple more times.

She didn't know if Lu Jianshen believed what she said. Anyway, Tang Li was currently abroad, and even she didn't know Tang Li's exact address. She decided to just assume that Tang Li was really dead.

"Fang Yunduo, I don't know if you're telling the truth or lying, but one day I'll find out."

When Lu Jianshen left the Fang family, his determined look made Fang Yunduo feel uneasy.

After watching the person leave, she quickly contacted Tang Li.
