Now that Lu Jianshen knows the truth, Tang Nanquan probably won't have many good days left.
To be honest, it's all thanks to her.
To Tang Li's surprise, Tang Nanquan was still alive, but the Tang family's house had already been emptied.
"Why are you home alone? Where is that woman?"
Tang Nanquan smiled bitterly, "She's gone. She's already gotten together with the housekeeper, Old Wang."
Butler Lao Wang?
Tang Li thought of Uncle Ding, the butler who had been driven away by Tang Nanquan, and felt that Tang Nanquan had brought this upon himself!
Now look what's happened, all the retribution has come back to haunt him.
"When you drove away Uncle Ding, who was seriously ill, did you consider his situation? He was so ill at the time, and you didn't even have the heart to help him get treatment. He had been by your side for more than 20 years!"
Only now, when this matter is brought up, does Tang Nanquan feel guilty.
“I was completely out of my mind back then. Song Lan said… he had an infectious disease, and if we didn’t get rid of him, he would infect us in the future. She also said that your Uncle Ding had ulterior motives…”
Looking back now, Song Lan was the one with ill intentions, and I was the fool.
"Lili, is Daddy stupid? I've let down so many people, including your mother. I've been completely fooled by an unworthy woman my whole life!"
Tang Li didn't speak, only gave a cold, bitter smile. It was too late to repent now.
Tang Nanquan seemed to have thought of something, and looked up at his daughter.
"How are things between you and Lu Jianshen? Will he hold a grudge against you because of this?"
Tang Li's tone was unusually calm, revealing no hint of sadness or joy.
"There's no way we can ever be together again. My father was the murderer of his mother. How could he possibly forgive me!"
"sorry."
Tang Nanquan never expected that the bitter fruit he sowed ten years ago would ripen today.
"I'm sorry to you, and I'm sorry to your mother."
Tang Li looked at Tang Nanquan, who had aged considerably, and felt little pity for him.
She just wanted to find out one thing: how exactly did her mother die?
Why did her mother's private doctor tell her that her mother was suffering from chronic poisoning?
Tang Li's cold gaze swept over the dejected Tang Nanquan before her, filled with chilling intent.
"Now that things have come to this, tell me honestly, was my mother's death related to you back then?"
Upon hearing this question, Tang Nanquan slowly raised his head, looking puzzled and confused, as if wondering why Tang Li would ask this.
“When I was abroad, I ran into my mother’s doctor by chance. The doctor told me that my mother had been chronically poisoned for a long time before she died.”
She took a deep breath and continued, "I was young at the time, and you were taking care of your mother, so you should know this very well, right?"
After asking the question, Tang Li stared intently at Tang Nanquan in front of her without blinking.
She was waiting for Tang Nanquan to give her an explanation, but Tang Nanquan seemed very conflicted, as if he was thinking about something from a long time ago, too focused.
He even forgot where he was.
After a long while, Tang Nanquan finally let out a heavy sigh.
He suddenly gave a bitter laugh, "It's all fate. So, back then, I was already committing sins!"
What does that mean?
“Lili, you’ve grown up. I really regret it. I always thought you were a little girl who wouldn’t be able to shoulder too much responsibility in the future. I underestimated you.”
After saying this, blood uncontrollably spilled from the corner of Tang Nanquan's mouth.
Tang Li looked at the teacup on the table and seemed to remember something.
What did you just drink?
Tang Li took out her phone, about to dial the emergency number, when Tang Nanquan grabbed her daughter's hand.
"There's no need to call the doctor; it's a waste of time. I didn't want to live anyway. Lili... I should apologize to you for what happened to your mother. I didn't expect it would kill her."
Tang Nanquan was filled with remorse. How foolish he had been to believe that woman's lies back then.
“When your mother was sick, I gave her a health supplement. I thought it was medicine to make her better. Now that I think about it, Song Lan tampered with that supplement.”
"Lili, I really never intended to kill your mother. Perhaps... I should go and apologize to her!"
Tang Li's hands were trembling uncontrollably.
"The health supplements you gave to your mother were poisonous. Song Lan gave them to you, didn't she?"
Tang Nanquan nodded gently, "I regret it. You are much more outstanding than Wen Shuo. Why was I so insistent on having a son? Wouldn't it have been better to raise my daughter well?"
"Lili, I'm sorry. I wrote a letter and told you everything I wanted to say. I'm so sorry to your mother. I'm useless. Our family is gone..."
After saying this, Tang Nanquan never opened his eyes again.
He should go to another world to repent; perhaps he'll have a chance to meet his wife there, or perhaps she'll never want to see him again.
He did far too many terrible things in his life!
Heaven was kind to him, but he committed many evils and suffered the consequences!
Tang Li silently held Tang Nanquan's hand, feeling the lingering warmth of his body gradually dissipate.
On the table was Tang Nanquan's suicide note, which explained many things, including some of the things Song Lan had done back then.
In his final words, he left all his remaining estate to Tang Li and expressed his apologies to his only daughter.
He wasn't Tang Yihui's biological son, so he was always worried that one day he would lose everything.
Liu Shuyi was clearly sincere to him, her heart and eyes full of love, yet he always felt ashamed in front of this woman.
