Tang Li stared at him blankly, unable to react for a moment.
"Uncle, what did you say?"
Remarry!
Lu Jianshen frowned quickly, but feigned nonchalance, "Many women remarry these days, especially since you're young and beautiful, Lili..."
"Uncle, I want to go see my mother off on her final journey," Tang Li interrupted him.
It wasn't appropriate for her to discuss the topic of remarriage with Lu Jianshen, and she had no intention of doing so.
With her parents having just had an accident and the house in chaos, Tang Li had no heart for anything else.
Lu Jianshen stayed with her the whole time.
Tang Li belatedly realized that Lu Jianshen was acting strangely today. He could have simply ignored her, and Tang Li would have been severing all ties with the Lu family immediately.
Lu Jianshen insisted on accompanying her to the funeral home.
"No need, Uncle, you have other things to do." Tang Li declined; she had to face things independently.
Lu Jianshen won't stay with her forever.
Lu Jianshen frowned deeply. He could clearly sense that Tang Li was avoiding him. No wonder, since he was still the uncle of that scumbag Lu Chengyi.
The man's large hand grasped her slender wrist, slightly warm, his slightly rough fingertips brushing against Tang Li's wrist.
"I'll drive you home. You're in a bad mood today, so don't drive."
Without being able to refuse, Lu Jianshen took Tang Li to the funeral home and accompanied her through the entire process, bidding farewell to Tang Li's mother together.
As I left the funeral home, a light rain began to fall, fittingly so, and the sky was overcast.
Holding her mother's belongings, Tang Li felt lost and didn't know where to go.
The Lu family is not her home, and the Tang family has also been sealed off.
Before she got married, her mother prepared a small villa for her so she could move in first.
However, daughters have to pay their father's debts. Her father left her a huge debt, which caused some trouble. Soon, that small villa would no longer belong to her.
Tang Li did a rough calculation and realized she had to pay back 1 billion yuan!
After divorcing Lu Chengyi, she could no longer continue her original job, and her source of income was cut off.
It was completely dark.
Lu Jianshen held an umbrella beside her, silently keeping her company.
"Uncle, please take me to Jingyuan. I don't want to go back tonight."
Upon arriving at the gate of Jingyuan, before the two even got out of the car, Lu Jianshen turned his head and glanced at it, realizing that this place was completely uninhabitable.
The courtyard was covered in dust, and the weeds were taller than a person, making it look like a desolate garden from a distance.
Lu Jianshen frowned, said nothing, turned the car around, and went straight to the Junlan Hotel.
He took Tang Li to a presidential suite for two months, which cost more than a million yuan!
"Uncle..."
Tang Li tried to stop him, but she was out of money.
Lu Jianshen sighed, leaned down and held her thin shoulders, "Listen to my arrangements from now on, you've had a very tiring day."
He couldn't bear to see her wandering around like a stray dog, lost and hesitant, not knowing where to go!
As they escorted Tang Li into her room, Lu Jianshen followed them in.
"I have something to say to you." The man sat down on the sofa in the living room and got straight to the point. "I'll cover the ten billion from the Tang family for you first, so you don't need to worry about it."
Tang Li looked at Lu Jianshen's handsome face with a puzzled expression, feeling a little uneasy.
He was willing to give her 1 billion yuan at once, but what was the price? She had nothing left to pay off the debt.
"Uncle, what do you need me to do?"
Tang Li understood that he was a businessman and wouldn't do a losing business.
Looking at her exhausted yet still stubborn appearance, Lu Jianshen felt a pang of pity.
"You should rest well. I'll definitely need your help someday."
Lu Jianshen looked at Tang Li with a distant gaze, which made her feel a little uneasy. She had a faint premonition, but she wasn't sure if it was what she thought.
She overestimated herself; how could Lu Jianshen like her...
That's another possibility: he sees himself as a woman like Ding Weiwei, someone he can buy with money.
"Uncle, I will pay you back as soon as possible."
She doesn't accept being treated like a cheap girl like Ding Weiwei.
Lu Jianshen nodded in agreement.
"I'm leaving now, goodnight."
Tang Li nodded.
She was about to get up to see Lu Jianshen off when he turned around and hugged her.
The man's embrace felt exceptionally warm, and Tang Li was stunned.
He whispered in Tang Li's ear, "Li Li, I'm here for you. Everything will be alright."
Tang Li stood there stunned, watching Lu Jianshen leave before she finally came to her senses after a long while. What did Lu Jianshen mean by what he just said?
Tang Li didn't think much of it; she was too tired today.
After a relaxing bath, she could no longer resist the drowsiness of exhaustion and fell into a deep sleep.
The next morning, Tang Li composed herself and went to the Lu family home.
Lu Chengyi and his mother already knew about the Tang family's bankruptcy. Last night, Tang Li did not return home, but Lu Chengyi and his mother did not care.
A signed divorce agreement was placed on the coffee table in the living room.
Lu's mother had already talked to her son last night. Even if Tang Li's grandfather left her a huge inheritance, it wouldn't be enough to offset the annihilation of the Tang family this time!
Tang Li, there's no need to linger!
"I have signed the divorce agreement, Tang Li. From today onwards, you have nothing to do with the Lu family anymore."
Lu Chengyi's voice was cold, "Remember this, it was me who didn't want you, not you who asked for a divorce!"
The thought of Tang Li's heartless and ungrateful behavior yesterday filled Lu Chengyi with resentment.
He once liked Tang Li, but Tang Li was too stubborn and not obedient at all.
Tang Li decisively signed the agreement. "Lu Chengyi, is there any point in arguing about this now? Didn't everyone see what happened yesterday?"
