"Little Sugar Man, are you crazy?"
Tang Rong hurriedly grabbed Tang Li's arm: "Yun Tang is no longer the Yun Tang whose uncle was still alive. With Zhi Xing helping you, things will be easier for you."
But Tang Li was very stubborn.
Seeing that the two siblings were arguing, Lu Zhixing made an excuse to go to the restroom, giving them some time alone.
After Lu Zhixing left, Tang Rong earnestly advised him:
"Yun Tang is terrible, a hundred or a thousand times worse than outsiders see. The only belief that has kept Tang Yuan going these past few years is to find out the truth about what happened to your parents five years ago. Only in this way can the Tang family be cleared of their crimes. Otherwise, even if the Tang family is innocent in law, in the hearts of those victims, the Tang family will never be innocent."
Tang Li understood the reasoning.
She asked softly:
"Besides being your classmate when you studied abroad, what else could Lu Zhixing be?"
This question stumped Tang Rong.
It took him a long time to finally squeeze out a sentence:
"You are not..."
"no!"
Tang Li answered very firmly.
"That's impossible, neither in the past nor now."
"Isn't there still a future?" Tang Rong's confidence waned, but he still wanted to persuade Tang Li: "You didn't rule out the future, which proves that anything is possible."
Tang Li didn't make any definitive statements because he didn't know what would happen tomorrow.
The person who vowed to give you a home yesterday may turn around and run into someone else's arms tomorrow.
But faced with Tang Rong's lucky escape, Tang Li remained remarkably clear-headed and said:
“Yun Tang is already in dire straits. Do you still dare to gamble with it? Second brother, even mountains can crumble. There is no one in this world who can be trusted and relied upon forever except ourselves.”
Lu Zhixing was no exception.
She once thought that Huo Chenyu would be the one who would steadfastly accompany her to the end.
But what was the result?
It's only been three years.
All the past love and affection died with that grand statement: "I want to give the person I love most a home."
The word "Second Brother" made Tang Rong feel as if he had returned to the most glorious time of the Tang family.
He was born half an hour later than Tang Yuan and was the second child in the Tang family.
But in reality, Tang Rong was born at full term.
Tang Yuan gave birth prematurely.
Tang Rong should have been the older brother.
So over the years, Tang Rong has refused to call Tang Yuan "brother," but his younger sisters all call him "elder brother" and "second brother."
The order in which people come into this world determines who is older and who is younger.
Tang Rong is an only child, and his most beloved child is Tang Li.
"But it's really too tiring for one person to carry such a heavy burden. Little Sugar Man, I just hope you can relax a bit."
Taking on this heavy responsibility means there will be no easy future.
Tang Li smiled:
"Don't worry, I am the Tang family's designated successor. My parents always praised me when they were still alive. Although I am a girl, I am better than all of you and more suitable to take over the Tang family."
The Tang family's wealth was built by the grandfather from scratch.
The eldest uncle was too proud to take over, while the youngest aunt was only interested in marrying into a wealthy family.
Only her father gave up his dream of scientific research and embarked on the path of business.
Along this journey, I have had no control over my own destiny.
Seeing that he couldn't persuade Tang Li, Tang Rong had no choice but to give up.
After successfully taking over Yuntang, Tang Li didn't sleep all night. The first thing to solve was the problem of Yuntang's broken capital chain.
After thinking it over all night, Tang Li went to find Lu Zhixing at daybreak.
"I'm not flying to Vancouver anymore; we're going back to Tanzhou today."
Going to see Tang Yuan doesn't really have much significance.
Tang Li never doubted his brother, so there was no need for him to say anything more.
Seeing that she had made up her mind, Lu Zhixing booked a flight back to the city.
Back at the South Bridge Villa, Tang Li stood before the painting of mandarin ducks, staring at it thoughtfully for a long time before asking Lu Zhixing:
"Are you sure this painting is worth 118 million?"
Lu Zhixing was surprised: "You want to sell this calligraphy and painting?"
What else?
Tang Li moved a chair and placed it under the calligraphy and painting, stepping onto it as he spoke:
"Such a precious treasure is just a piece of waste paper in my study. Besides, Huo Chenyu is fickle. What if Lin Yiyun whispers in his ear and he changes his mind and wants these things back one day? Wouldn't I become a huge victim?"
Lu Zhixing couldn't help but smile.
He pointed to her bedroom and said:
"The painting hanging on your bedroom wall is more expensive than this mandarin duck picture, worth 240 million. However, you'd better not get your hands on that painting, or I'm afraid your ex-husband will be so angry he'll vomit blood."
To be honest, Tang Li had long disliked the painting on the bedroom wall.
There's something inexplicably off about that painting.
A seemingly ordinary painting of a little girl swinging on a swing in the forest is actually worth 240 million yuan.
Tang Li said impatiently:
"Help me find a buyer. Since it's more expensive, let's sell it."
Who cares if Huo Chenyu vomits blood or not.
He wasn't afraid she'd die from vomiting blood when he cheated on her during their marriage, so why should she care about her ex-husband's life or death now that they're divorced?
Seeing that Lu Zhixing did not respond, Tang Li repeatedly stated:
“I’m serious. My refusal of your financial help doesn’t mean I don’t need your resources and connections. Tell me again what other valuable treasures are in this house. I’ll take them all and sell them to solve Yun Tang’s current predicament first.”
Lu Zhixing nodded and agreed.
Huo Chenyu had hidden many valuable items in this villa. In particular, when Tang Li opened his jewelry box, those little gifts that Tang Li had never paid attention to turned out to be quite special.
This prompted Tang Li to keep saying:
"I'm rich! I'm rich! I'm really a little rich woman!"
Young...rich woman?
Is this still too young?
With assets worth over a billion yuan, she's definitely a super-rich woman.
Lu Zhixing helped her plan an auction, asking a friend for help to organize it in the friend's name, but the friend made a request.
Lu Zhixing, carrying fruit into the study, saw Tang Li diligently writing the day's update. He tapped the table and made an OK sign.
"The auction will be held at my friend's orchard the day after tomorrow. Due to the short notice, not all of the invited people may be able to attend."
It would be good if even a portion of them could come.
Tang Li was very grateful to him, then checked the time and asked somewhat embarrassedly:
"Is there anything else? If not, I might need to finish my manuscript first. I'll treat you to a late-night snack after I'm done."
It doesn't matter whether I eat a late-night snack or not.
Lu Zhixing tapped the table, pondered for a long time, and then said:
"My friend has agreed to handle everything for you, but he has made a condition. I don't know if you can accept it?"
When asked to do such a huge favor with only one condition, Tang Li nodded without hesitation:
"Okay, I agree."
Lu Zhixing couldn't help but smile:
"I haven't even said what conditions he proposed."
Tang Li said without looking up:
"I'll agree to whatever the conditions are."
Lu Zhixing nodded and quickly said, "He invited your ex-husband."
