As soon as she finished speaking, Li Qiming felt dizzy and took a step back.
"Dad, calm down and sit down first." Li Hanyan supported the old man. He looked at Song Zhixing again, and the reproach in his eyes was obvious. Song Zhixing felt a pain in her heart. Tang Yu came over, put his hands on her shoulders soothingly, and ordered the servant, "Pour another glass of water for Master Li."
"Yes, yes, yes, drink some water first and calm yourself down." Mr. Tang continued, and gave his grandson a bad look, "To apologize, go pour the water yourself."
It’s no problem to pour the water yourself, but Tang Yu can’t leave Song Zhixing here.
Li Qiming snorted coldly, "Forget about the water poured by the second master of the Tang family. I can't bear it. I'm afraid I can't drink the water of your Tang family either!"
He said this and turned his gaze to Song Zhixing, "Xingxing, grandpa is here to pick you up today. I just want to ask you one question - do you want to go with grandpa?"
Song Zhixing's hands hanging at her sides tensed. She looked at Li Qiming, her red lips tightly pursed, unable to speak.
Tang Yu held her hand tightly in his palm, "I have prepared the best university in Jude City for Xingxing. In these four years, she will not go anywhere except Jude City."
Every word is powerful and irrefutable.
Li Qiming refused to buy it, "Xingxing is a member of our Li family, and we cannot let an outsider make the decision anywhere!"
He took a quick step towards Song Zhixing and stood in front of her. "Xingxing, let me ask you again, are you really willing to follow him? You don't have to be afraid of him, your grandfather is here to make the decision for you!"
Song Zhixing dug his fingers into his flesh, "I did it voluntarily... He didn't force me."
Li Qiming's breathing became heavier, and the veins on his hands hanging by his side were tense and throbbing. His eyes were full of disappointment. "Then let me ask you again - if I want to take you away now, do you want to continue staying in their Tang family, or are you willing to go back to the Li family with me?"
Song Zhixing's eyes were covered with mist, and her throat seemed to be blocked by cotton. She couldn't make a sound for a long time. Li Qiming seemed to have run out of patience and shouted, "Answer me!"
This sound was not light, and it echoed in the living room, causing the air around them to drop several degrees. In the villa, the servants beside them were all startled.
Song Zhixing seemed to have made up her mind and cried out, "I want to stay here... I have promised Tang Yu that I will not leave here..."
Li Qiming was furious, his eyes almost bulged out. He raised his hand and was about to slap Song Zhixing in the face. Tang Yu was quick-witted and dodged, grabbing Li Qiming's hand. His eyes showed some hostility, "Mr. Li, before you do anything, you have to think about the consequences!"
Every word he spoke was full of threats and warnings.
He used a lot of force in his hands and didn't give Li Qiming any face at all.
"Tang Yu, let go!" Li Hanyan immediately pried Tang Yu's hand away, "My dad is in poor health and has high blood pressure, please don't do this!"
Tang Yu glanced at Song Zhixing, then looked at Li Qiming with a cold gaze before letting go of his hand.
Although the slap didn't land in the end, it was like a slap on Song Zhixing's face. It hurt. It hurt so much that tears kept falling, blurring his eyes.
"Hanyan, let's go!" Li Qiming grabbed his daughter's hand, gritted his teeth and said coldly: "Let's just pretend that your sister never gave birth to such a daughter!"
At this point, he looked at Song Zhixing seriously, his eyes were full of disappointment, ruthlessness, and heartache, "It's your choice to follow Tang Yu - but from today on, we in the Li family will pretend that you have never existed!"
After Li Qiming finished speaking, he and Li Hanyan strode out of the villa.
Every word he said was like a heavy stone, constantly hitting Song Zhixing, making her dizzy. Song Zhixing stood there blankly, lost for a long time, and then suddenly came to her senses. She suddenly cried and chased after him, "Grandpa... Aunt..."
"Xingxing!" Tang Yu was afraid that something might happen, so he shouted and followed him.
Song Zhixing chased him out the door, not caring about the scorching sun outside. Like a child who was afraid of losing his beloved baby, he grabbed Li Qiming's hand almost in a naughty way, "Grandpa, please don't leave me... please don't leave me... I beg you..."
"Let go!" Li Qiming was heartbroken, but he absolutely could not accept the fact that she was with Tang Yu. Apart from the difference in age and seniority between them, there was also the hatred from a few years ago. Originally, marrying Han Yan into the Tang family was a reluctant move for the survival of the Li family's business. Now, he really let her follow Tang Yu. How could he be worthy of his tragically dead daughter after his death
Song Zhixing's hand was pushed away by Li Qiming, and she cried and grabbed it anxiously. Under the scorching sun, she suddenly knelt on the ground with a "thump". She was like a poor beggar, crying and begging without dignity, "Grandpa... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I apologize to you... Please don't abandon me... OK?"
Li Qiming was stunned for a moment, looking at his granddaughter who was crying. Looking at the face that was so similar to his eldest daughter, it would be a lie to say that he didn't feel soft-hearted.
Li Hanyan's hand holding Li Qiming also tightened a little. Her love for Song Zhixing was never a disguise. It was just that he was too disappointed and too sad for her during this period. The love he had shown her in the past seemed to have become a joke overnight, causing Song Zhixing to turn around and slap her in the face.
Seeing her kneeling on the ground and begging so pitifully, he felt uncomfortable, but he never said anything, just turned away and stopped looking.
When Tang Yu chased out, he saw Song Zhixing begging. His heart ached and he stood where he was, not going forward immediately.
Even if he loved this little girl, he was not her after all. No one could empathize with her inner desire for family affection. No matter how much he wanted to give her everything he had, wealth and love could not replace the family affection she needed.
Li Qiming's heart was also in turmoil. He took a deep breath and looked down at his granddaughter kneeling on the ground. "Then will you come with me? If you come with me, everything that happened today will be treated as if it never happened!"
Song Zhixing looked up at Li Qiming, then turned back to look at Tang Yu.
The two people's eyes collided in the air. Song Zhixing couldn't say anything. However, this eye contact angered Li Qiming again. He pushed Song Zhixing's hand away and looked at her solemnly and painfully, "Xingxing, one day, you will regret it!"
He turned around and glanced at Tang Yu, and added: "You will regret following Tang Yu!"
Determined.
Every word is as sharp as a knife.
