"dad……"
Tang Nanquan noticed that his daughter looked listless and even a little unhappy, so he didn't say anything more.
"I knew it! That old man couldn't possibly leave us much money. What good would it do us?"
"No, my grandfather left me 10 billion."
"What did you say! Ten billion!"
Tang Nanquan's slightly cloudy eyes widened, followed by an overwhelming surge of joy.
Are you telling the truth?
Tang Li nodded expressionlessly.
"That's great! That's great! Then we have a chance to make a comeback. Dad can open the company again, and our family can go back to how it was before!"
"But Mom won't be coming back!" Tang Li interrupted him. "Dad, have you forgotten? Why are you always so concerned about the company? Have you ever cared about Mom?"
This family is no longer the same as before. Hasn't Father realized it yet?
“I used to think you cared a lot about your mother, but you’ve been acting very strangely since you came out.”
Tang Nanquan could only make excuses, "Lili, Dad is just too tired lately. The Tang family has nothing now and urgently needs to start over. Dad can't accept this kind of fall!"
Tang Li didn't say much; she just felt very tired.
"It's late today, I want to rest early, I'll go back to my room first."
In the living room, Tang Nanquan remained completely unaffected and began making phone calls to old friends.
"Of course, with the old man leaving behind 10 billion, the Tang family will definitely have a chance to start over. I also look forward to cooperating with President Wu again!"
"Mr. Wang, I know you're worried about whether the Tang family still has the ability, but you should know that even a starved camel is bigger than a horse..."
Tang Li returned to her bedroom exhausted, closed the door, took a shower, and sat on the bed to read.
Her mind was in turmoil, and her thoughts were completely elsewhere. She lingered on that page for more than 20 minutes without absorbing anything.
Her phone lit up, and she turned to look at it. It was a WeChat video call invitation from Lu Jianshen.
Lu Jianshen looked at Tang Li on the other end of the video with a half-smile, but Tang Li couldn't laugh.
"How are you? You look so down?"
Tang Li could only make up excuses to get by.
"I'm just a little tired."
I can't very well tell him that I had a fight with my dad, and for some inexplicable reason at that.
Lu Jianshen chatted with Tang Li for a very long time, from what had happened that day to the development of Beijing over the next ten years, and even interesting stories about their friends...
Before I knew it, it was already 2 a.m.
Are you feeling any better now?
Tang Li nodded; the slight unease she had felt earlier had vanished completely.
It turned out that Lu Jianshen had spent more than four hours talking to her just to make her happy.
"Thank you, Lu Jianshen!"
"Sigh, when will you be back? Lili, I'm going to have insomnia again tonight!" Someone looked at the empty bed all alone.
Tang Li smiled shyly, said goodnight, and quickly hung up the phone.
Lu Jianshen sent her another message.
"It's still easier to sleep while holding Lili."
Tang Li: ...
The next day, almost all the trending topics on Weibo were related to Tang Li!
"Tang Li and Lu Jianshen on a sweet date!"
They went out for a walk yesterday and were actually photographed by the ubiquitous paparazzi!
"Tang Li inherits a massive fortune of tens of billions!"
The matter of inheriting the estate is now common knowledge.
Only a few items are unrelated to Tang Li, such as the one below.
"The Cinderella from the fishing village is imprisoned!"
"Wealthy Family's Daughter-in-Law Imprisoned Before Wedding!"
When Xu Lihua saw the trending topic, she was so angry that her nose almost twisted out of shape.
Early in the morning, her loud roar echoed in the living room of the Lu family's old mansion.
"Lu Chengyi, look at this mess you've created! Why didn't you just stay in the marriage and not get a divorce in the first place?"
"If you hadn't gotten divorced back then, at least 5 billion of that 10 billion yuan fortune would be yours! Now you're turning around and want to marry that Ding Weiwei, people are laughing at you!"
Lu Chengyi couldn't sleep well either, and was yelled at by his mother early in the morning.
He rubbed his messy hair wearily as he came down the stairs.
"Mom, you were the one who suggested we get a divorce, so don't blame everything on me! Didn't you say that no matter how much inheritance her grandfather had, it wouldn't be enough to fill the gaps in the Tang family's finances?"
Xu Lihua was speechless because of her son's words.
It was indeed her idea at the time, but she never expected that the legacy left by Tang Li's grandfather would be so large.
Xu Lihua was so angry she wanted to bang her head against the wall.
"The loophole in the Tang family's estate is only worth 1 billion, but her grandfather's inheritance is worth 10 billion!"
————
The Tang family also became uneasy because of the matter of billions of assets.
While the father and daughter were having dinner together, Tang Nanquan said excitedly, "Lili, with this 10 billion, Dad can make a comeback, and then you won't have to be controlled by others!"
Tang Li nodded, without giving it much thought.
She is her father's only daughter, so it doesn't matter whether the money is given to her father or kept by her.
Tang Nanquan was already planning his next steps. After searching for his son for five years, he finally had a clue.
While in prison, Tang Nanquan thought he would never have the chance to meet her again in this lifetime.
Unexpectedly, as soon as news broke that Li Li had just inherited billions of dollars, news of his biological son also followed.
However, Lili cannot know yet.
