These two sworn enemies sat upright and serious.
It's rare for us to get together without arguing.
Tang Li entered the private room, timidly sat down in the only remaining seat, and looked at the two of them with some apprehension:
"You guys are acting a bit strange today. You're not bickering with each other when you meet. I'm really not used to it."
Huo Yishen stood up first and placed a USB drive in front of Tang Li:
"This is the USB drive that I switched back from the Zha family before the fire at the Zha family's house."
It seems like a real showdown is about to begin.
Tang Li gave an awkward smile:
So this is...
Huo Yishen looked at Tang Li apologetically:
"This contains the contents of two conversations I had with your parents. I didn't expect that the scumbag family would have a backup plan. Of course, it's because what I did was dishonorable."
It's a shameful thing.
Tang Li's heart clenched instantly.
When she decided to forgive Huo Chenyu for everything he had done, she had already mentally prepared herself. If Huo Yishen really had been involved in the car accident back then, why would Huo Chenyu have brought her back to the Huo family?
But now, Huo Yishen has actually admitted to doing something disgraceful.
Tang Li looked at Sheng Chaosheng, somewhat at a loss, and Sheng Chaosheng quickly got up to pour her a glass of water:
"Girl, don't be afraid. Although Huo Laobie is a scoundrel, he wouldn't do anything that is morally reprehensible."
Is it not something that goes against morality and reason?
That has nothing to do with the parents' car accident.
Tang Li's heart leaped and then settled.
Seeing Tang Li's pale face, Sheng Chaosheng slammed his hand on the table:
"You old hag Huo, stop trying to be all high and mighty. If you want to build a good image in front of your son, hurry up and tell him all the shady things you've done. Let Tang Li decide whether or not to tell your son."
Tang Li looked at Sheng Chaosheng in astonishment, then at Huo Yishen.
That statement contained a lot of information, and Tang Li actually understood it all.
No wonder her mother-in-law, Wei Chaoyu, didn't come today; it also hinted that she shouldn't bring Huo Chenyu.
It turns out that Huo Yishen wanted to maintain the image of a good husband and a good father in front of his wife and son.
Urged on by Sheng Chaosheng, Huo Yishen sighed:
“Daughter-in-law, I want to admit my mistake to you. Although your parents’ car accident was not directly related to me, if I hadn’t gone to them that day, your parents’ car would not have met that scumbag family there.”
“I approached them to try and persuade them again. They insisted on taking an idealistic path, which contradicted the profit-driven principles of businessmen and seriously disrupted our original balance.”
Tang Li later learned some of these things.
Huo Yishen lowered his head:
“When we were young, we were all fiercely competitive, and even now that we're older, we're still determined to win. I thought that since Shen Yu is dating you, the Huo and Tang families should join forces against outsiders. But your parents are unwilling to cooperate with me, so I…”
He stopped.
In his haste, Sheng Chaosheng gave him a push:
"You old fool, you were blinded by greed and did anything back then, now you can't even bring yourself to say it? You know you've lost all face, don't you?"
It's rare that Huo Yishen didn't refute it, and even admitted that Sheng Chaosheng was right:
“Your Uncle Sheng is right. I was really blinded by greed back then. I used your marriage to Shen Yu to coerce your parents into giving up doing those thankless tasks. I even had a big fight with your parents. If they insist on going their own way, my Huo family will never marry your Tang family daughter.”
No wonder he strongly opposed it at the time.
They used both threats and inducements.
They even used their children's marriages as a pretext to obstruct things, but Yun Shu and her husband refused to compromise.
Huo Yi deeply regrets his past actions:
“If I hadn’t stopped them back then, they wouldn’t have had to rush to cooperate with the Zha family, and there wouldn’t have been that car accident later.”
"After the car accident, the truth was unclear. Under those circumstances, the stock market would be turbulent no matter who was associated with the Zha family. In order to avoid trouble, I retrieved the evidence left by the Zha family and silenced those who knew the truth at the time."
After finally saying what he had kept bottled up for years, Huo Yishen breathed a sigh of relief:
"Tang Li, I'm sorry to you, and I'm sorry to Shen Yu."
Tang Li understood about 70-80% of it.
Afraid of upsetting her, Sheng Chaosheng spoke up for Huo Yishen:
“Your father-in-law is wise all his life but confused for a moment. Now that you and Shen Yu are planning to remarry, you will be a family. He doesn’t want there to be any estrangement between family members, so he thought about it and came to me to explain the whole story to you.”
Once the seed of doubt is planted, it can grow into a whole grassland.
Sheng Chaosheng advised Tang Li:
"After all, they are not biological father and son, but Old Huo has raised Shen Yu for thirty years and knows that this son would do anything for you. Once he finds out that Old Huo has done these disgraceful things behind your back, I'm afraid the relationship between father and son will become even more strained."
Tang Li was both amused and exasperated.
This is the biological father speaking well of the adoptive father.
This is the first time.
Especially Sheng Chaosheng's constant calling him "Old Huo" shows that the two old friends have a deep friendship.
Tang Li had initially had a hurdle in her mind, but now that Huo Yishen had spoken up, she handed the USB drive back to him.
“Dad, I did have doubts about you before, but I went to see Song Boying when he was seriously ill. Although he repented before he died, I know that if time could be turned back, he would still extend his evil hand. This evil will not stop just because you went to my parents.”
Sheng Chaosheng and Huo Yishen couldn't believe it. They looked at each other for a long time, and Sheng Chaosheng frowned and asked:
"No, honey, what do you mean by that?"
Tang Li smiled:
"What I mean is that Song Boying has decided to kill, and this calamity is inevitable. Unless you can all grow the ability to see in the sky and know in advance that Song Boying is going to do something bad, no one can stop the tragedy from happening."
Whenever Song Boying is mentioned, Sheng Chaosheng wishes he could dig out his ashes and burn them again.
"If I had known he had such evil intentions, I would have fought him to the death."
On this point, Huo Yishen nodded firmly:
"Me too. I just disagree with your parents, but we've been friends and rivals for most of our lives. We both want to see who will have the last laugh, and I would never stand by and watch someone die."
Tang Li felt gratified by their words.
"So, you two fathers, did you invite me here today just for a cup of tea?"
The two old men were overjoyed to hear him call out "Dad."
They all rushed to respond:
"Eh."
"Eh."
Huo Yishen was the first to react, shouting:
"Waiter, let's order. Bring out all your signature dishes; my daughter-in-law can eat a lot."
Can eat...
Tang Li felt ashamed. Did her father-in-law think she was a pig?
Sheng Chaosheng also chimed in:
"And milk tea, bring out all the milk tea and desserts you have here, my daughter loves them."
Go through them all...
Even if all the pigs from the production team were brought over, they might not be able to finish eating them all.
Tang Li quickly stopped him:
"A suitable amount, a suitable amount, we must not waste, wasting is shameful."
Despite her repeated attempts to stop them, a table full of delicious food was still served.
When Huo Chenyu called to ask where she was, Tang Li answered him while eating:
"I'm stocking up on meat, really good quality, lots of fatty pork."
