Before going to bed that night, Tang Li felt a bulging red envelope under her pillow.
She was stunned for a moment, then realized that this must be the New Year's money prepared by Lu Jianshen.
Tang Li opened the red envelope and glanced at it. There was about 20,000 yuan in it, and there was also a bank card inside with an unlimited amount.
After thinking for a moment, she put the red envelope into the bedside table, lay down, and her mind was filled with memories of the Spring Festival when she was a child, when her parents would prepare lucky money for her.
Is the father of that time and the father of today really the same person?
They look completely different.
Meanwhile, the Tang family's New Year's Eve dinner had just been served; the Tang family always ate their New Year's Eve dinner very late.
We usually eat a little snack in the evening to tide us over, and the New Year's Eve dinner isn't served until after 10 p.m.
Tang Nanquan stared silently at the myriad lights outside, a strange sense of loss creeping into his heart.
Tang Wenshuo noticed that his father's mood had been off all day, and he knew who his father was thinking about.
"Dad, it's no use you being so attached to Tang Li. She's an unfilial daughter who just wants to take all of the Tang family's assets and put them into her own pocket!"
Song Lan also took this opportunity to fan the flames from the sidelines.
"Yes, other people's children are all very filial, but your daughter is a real traitor!"
As Song Lan spoke, she let out a heavy sigh, feigning melancholy.
“In our area, a married daughter is like water spilled from a cup; she should think more about her parents’ family from now on, not scheme against them!”
Tang Nanquan frowned, somewhat displeased.
"Alright, the food is already on the table, so let's eat quickly. Stop talking, it's the New Year, don't be upset!"
He just never expected that his daughter, who had come back from the dead, would be like a completely different person. The father and daughter, who had been perfectly fine before, were now torn apart.
Tang Wenshuo thought of the things his mother had specifically told him a few nights ago, and his expression became somewhat evasive.
"Dad, the company can't be entirely handed over to Tang Li, can it? If I don't return to the company next year, the Tang Group will really have to change hands!"
Tang Nanquan glared at his son. "I told you long ago, I'd make you more capable!"
He also made a special trip to the company to inquire about it.
It wasn't just Tang Li's wish to let Tang Wenshuo leave; it was a decision made by the entire company's board of directors!
"It's because you're incompetent. The board members don't even respect you. Even if you go back to the company, you'll still be ostracized!"
Tang Nanquan's blunt words left Tang Wenshuo speechless, but he was still unwilling to give up.
"Dad, I've been working really hard. I've been working and studying every night lately!"
“That’s right, Nanquan. Wenshuo is going to the Jia family to propose marriage next year. What if the Jia family doesn’t like him and thinks he has nothing? Wouldn’t that be troublesome?”
Tang Nanquan didn't say anything, and he couldn't eat his New Year's Eve dinner, so he went upstairs with his cane.
"Smack!"
Song Lan angrily put down the wooden chopsticks in her hand.
"Honestly, every time I discuss this with your dad, he avoids the topic. Do you think he can escape this?"
Tang Wenshuo quickly tried to calm his mother down, but couldn't help worrying about what else he could do!
"Son, don't worry, even if your dad won't help you, you still have me!"
Tang Wenshuo's mood immediately brightened. "I knew it! My mom is definitely the most reliable one!"
Song Lan narrowed her eyes. Ye Ru was still at the police station. Once Ye Ru was released, she would have someone to discuss things with.
"Wen Shuo, do you have any friends who are rich second-generation with good family backgrounds? Introduce them to your sister Ye Ru. If she marries a rich man, you'll have a powerful brother-in-law to help you in the future!"
Tang Wenshuo frowned. This might not be easy.
Ye Ru doesn't have a high level of education, and even though she runs a small company now, she has quite a few dark secrets. If those rich kids were to dig them out, wouldn't she be in deep trouble?
He spoke softly and reluctantly, "Mom, everyone knows that Ye Ru used to work as a hostess in a bar!"
"So what? Not everyone knows about this. You need to find a capable brother-in-law! The rest is up to your sister Ye Ru."
Tang Wenshuo thought about it and agreed that it made sense.
Song Lan quickly urged her son to call his girlfriend Jia Mingya, "You should at least show some concern for Mingya. She's pregnant with your child, so you'd better be careful!"
"Mingya might be having dinner with her parents right now. What if she gives herself away?"
Tang Wenshuo remembered what Jia Mingya had specifically told him a few days ago: not to make video calls during the Spring Festival to avoid being discovered by his family.
"Mom, Mingya said not to let her family know we're dating!"
"Their family will find out sooner or later. Calling them now gives them some time to prepare, which is better. It also allows us to gauge their attitude towards you so we can react accordingly."
Tang Wenshuo thought about it and felt that what his mother said made sense, so he made the call.
However, the phone rang for a long time, but Jia Mingya did not answer it; instead, she hung up directly.
"That's strange, why did they hang up on me?"
Tang Wenshuo felt a bit confused and couldn't help but check his girlfriend's Weibo again.
He then discovered that his girlfriend's IP address had also changed.
Jia Mingya clearly stated that she is from Beijing. Is she lying?
"Mingya, where are you right now?"
Jia Mingya quickly replied, "I'm having New Year's Eve dinner with my family! I'll call you back when I get home."
