Sure enough, all men are the same.
Perhaps she shouldn't have had such high expectations of Lu Jianshen at all!
Tang Li pushed Lu Jianshen away, and Lu Jianshen quickly chased after her.
"Where are you going so late?"
Tang Li disregarded everything else and coldly replied, "Song Lan touched my mother's belongings. I'm going back to the Tang family!"
Lu Jianshen frowned slightly. "I'll see you off. Get in the car."
Tang Li was about to refuse, "No need, I can take a taxi back by myself."
But she had already been pulled into the car, and Lu Jianshen bent down to help her fasten her seatbelt.
He said, "The perfume scent on me was a misunderstanding. I did go to the bar and some women tried to seduce me, but I refused them. Do you want me to show you the security camera footage?"
Tang Li didn't say anything. His frankness made him seem petty and suspicious.
However, some things need to be made clear from the very beginning.
Tang Li stated directly, "I really dislike things that are lingering, unclear, or ambiguous!"
She doesn't need to hide anything. If she wants to be her own man, she must cut ties completely with other women. Tang Li finds it disgusting if there are any lingering entanglements!
Lu Jianshen didn't start the car. He just glanced at his suit with a deep look in his eyes. "Can you wait for me for a bit? I'm going to take a shower."
Tang Li ignored him and got up to leave.
Lu Jianshen frowned, and without hesitation, in the dead of winter, he threw off his suit jacket and out the car window.
Seeing that he was only wearing a thin shirt, Tang Li was both angry and worried that he would catch a cold.
"I don't want to argue with you about the perfume right now, I want to go home!"
"I'll take you home!"
We arrived at Yulan Garden.
Seeing that Lu Jianshen was only wearing a thin black shirt, Tang Li said, "You can wait for me in the car. It's too cold outside, so don't get out..."
Before she could finish speaking, Lu Jianshen had already gotten out of the car.
He decisively accompanied Tang Li inside; she couldn't make a big splash with revenge on her own!
What if the Tang family bullies her?
As soon as Tang Li opened the fingerprint lock, she saw Song Lan sitting in the living room, greedily rummaging through the box.
When she saw jewelry she didn't like, she even threw it into the nearby trash can, but then she picked it up again, thinking she might be able to sell it for money.
"These are things my mother left me, what right do you have to touch them!"
Tang Li rushed over, snatched the box, and saw that most of the contents were missing; it was definitely not like this before.
She had seen that three-quarters of the box was filled with jewelry, but now, less than half remained!
"Little bitch!"
Song Lan stood up angrily, but the moment she caught a glimpse of Lu Jianshen out of the corner of her eye, she immediately cowered and slowed down her movements.
She stammered, "Tang Li, don't misunderstand. I just thought this box was dirty and probably useless, but Auntie thought it was pretty. Please give it to me!"
As she was about to reach out and snatch it back, Tang Li moved the box aside.
"What's inside?"
Song Lan rolled her eyes dismissively. "What could possibly be in here? It's just this stuff, junk!"
Scrap metal!
Tang Li shoved the box into Lu Jianshen's arms and rushed straight to Song Lan.
Seeing her arrogant demeanor, Song Lan couldn't help but take two steps back. This brat even brought helpers today.
Tang Li's voice was full of malice, "Give back all of my mother's dowry. If even one item is missing, I'll set fire to Yulan Garden today!"
"You bastard! What nonsense are you spouting!"
Tang Nanquan came down the stairs and heard his daughter utter these outrageous words.
He's still in Yulan Garden, and they're going to burn this place down? Won't that burn him to death too?
"Honey, I really don't know what use this old, worn-out box is. I just... thought the jewelry inside was pretty. Besides, it's just some worthless stuff!"
Song Lan leaned against Tang Nanquan, sobbing and fanning the flames in front of him.
With tears in her eyes, Song Lan said, "Lili, please forgive your aunt for your father's sake. I promise I will never touch your things again. This house still belongs to you alone."
“If it weren’t for you, your father wouldn’t have the chance to stand here. You are a great benefactor to our whole family.”
That was somewhat sarcastic and deliberately ironic!
Song Lan was deliberately trying to provoke them, but Tang Nanquan, that brainless old man, actually got carried away!
"I, Tang Nanquan, am still the master of this house. Lili, no matter how capable you are, you are still my daughter!"
Tang Li had no desire to argue about this pointless matter.
She only focused on the jewelry her mother left behind, which was a keepsake from her mother.
"You allowed her to do all this?" Tang Li looked at her father with disappointment in her eyes.
It really proves the saying: if you have a stepmother, you're bound to have a stepfather!
"Tang Li! Don't you respect your elders? Is this how I've always taught you?! You..."
Tang Nanquan was so angry that he trembled all over, his nostrils flared, and his breathing became erratic.
Tang Li smiled wryly and walked over step by step.
"What did you teach me? You taught me to betray my wife and have affairs with other women, didn't you? You started planning the wedding before my wife's body was even cold, didn't you?"
"you!"
Tang Nanquan raised his hand to slap, but Lu Jianshen pulled Tang Li aside, leaving Tang Nanquan's hand hanging in mid-air.
Seeing Lu Jianshen behind Tang Li, he felt a little scared.
Tang Li picked up the box, glanced at it casually, and discovered that a string of pearl and jade hairpins inside was broken.
