"Mr. Tang, are you sure Miss Tang Li is dead?" one of the directors suddenly asked.
Tang Nanquan pretended to be very sad.
"How could you joke about my daughter's death? Everyone was there and saw the funeral I personally organized five years ago!"
"I don't want you to joke about my daughter's death anymore. It makes me even more upset. Please understand a father's feelings!"
If these directors hadn't already met Tang Li at the Lu family's hotel last night, they would have truly believed that Tang Nanquan was a kind and loving father.
Unfortunately, that's not the truth.
He's a sexist!
After having a son, she completely neglected her daughter.
The director who had spoken earlier added, "We just met with Tang Li last night and had dinner with President Lu of the Lu Group!"
Tang Nanquan was stunned, his face filled with disbelief.
He sneered and shook his head. How could that be?
"I'll say it one last time: in such a serious and solemn setting today, I don't want anyone to joke about my daughter!"
"Mr. Tang, let me ask you one last time: if your daughter were still alive, would the Tang family's business have nothing to do with your son?"
Tang Nanquan's expression turned somewhat strange. He was the one who watched Tang Li being buried back then.
Moreover, he also saw his daughter's personal belongings at the scene of the car accident.
"Of course, I will definitely respect my father's last wishes!"
Tang Nanquan, with an air of righteous indignation, said, "I am deeply saddened by Lili's passing!"
Just when Tang Nanquan thought his performance was so vivid and everyone believed he was a loving father, a light appeared at the door, and Tang Li walked in against the light.
"Dad, it's been so long!"
Tang Nanquan's eyes widened suddenly, almost unable to believe what he was seeing.
Is he seeing things?
“Lili…”
Tang Nanquan was not the only one frightened; Song Lan and Tang Wenshuo were also startled.
Tang Li walked towards them step by step until she stopped in front of Tang Nanquan.
"Dad, have you forgotten me?"
Tang Nanquan looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar face in front of him and could hardly believe it. How could this be?
How can someone who has died come back to life?
With everyone staring at him, he couldn't doubt whether the person in front of him was his daughter.
He trembled as he stepped forward, looking Tang Li up and down.
"Lili, what's wrong with you..."
Tang Li forced a stiff smile. "When Dad saw me, he didn't seem happy at all; instead, he looked quite surprised?"
Tang Nanquan immediately changed his attitude and became very enthusiastic.
However, he didn't even have the courage to take a step forward and hug his daughter.
Is this thing in front of me really not a ghost?
Tang Li stepped forward and hugged her father.
Tang Li leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Dad, look, my body temperature is warm. I'm a human, not a ghost!"
"But I clearly..."
Tang Nanquan stammered, feeling as if he had been tricked.
“Dad, you did bury a body back then, but it wasn’t mine. It was just a girl who was with me, about my age.”
"After the car accident, I unexpectedly lost my memory and didn't remember you. I lived abroad for 5 years, and now I've suddenly returned to China. Isn't that a big surprise for you?"
Tang Li stared intently at the changes in her father's expression.
She was certain that her father was not delighted, but rather surprised and terrified!
Tang Nanquan's smile was very forced.
"Lili, today is your brother's coming-of-age ceremony. Now that you're back, our family is truly doubly happy!"
Tang Li nodded. Did he really think today was a day of double happiness?
One of the directors in the audience immediately said, "Does what President Tang just said still stand? If Tang Li comes back, all the family assets will belong to your daughter, and have nothing to do with your son!"
"Yes, we also support and respect Mr. Tang's last wishes!"
Tang Nanquan's smile froze on his face.
Song Lan, who was standing next to him, couldn't hold back any longer. His son had waited for this day for several years.
Now look what's happened! Just because Tang Li is back, all the family property and assets are going to this money-losing girl who'll be married off sooner or later. What kind of logic is that?
"Chairman Zhang! That's not how it works. If we hand over the entire family business to Lili, and she gets married later, won't the Tang family's assets just be taken away by someone else?"
When Tang Nanquan heard his wife say this, he also felt that it made sense.
After all, it's the Tang family's business, and their daughter will eventually get married.
If he brings his family fortune to his husband's family, then all his hard work in building everything will be for nothing.
"Lili, you should be able to understand your father, right?"
Tang Nanquan looked at his daughter with anticipation, hoping that she would voluntarily give up the family property.
However, Tang Li no longer trusts Tang Nanquan.
"Dad, I was really touched by what you just said. When I heard those words, I knew that coming back was the right thing to do!"
Tang Nanquan stared blankly at his daughter, his smile frozen on his face.
Could it be that this brat really wants all the family fortune?
"Dad, don't worry, I will run the company seriously and won't be like my brother who idles away his time."
"No, no!" Tang Nanquan immediately refused.
He said, "Dad has thought about it. After all, I raised your brother myself. You've only just returned to China and don't have the ability yet. You also need to learn. Besides, didn't you lose your memory?"
