"You... don't blame Dad too much. He's just too angry." Tang Zheng hesitated for a long time and could only squeeze out this self-deceptive comfort. "After all, you were really too hasty in your decision this time. It's tens of billions of yuan. Such a large amount of money has been wasted. This is all my father's hard work over the years. He beat you out of anger... He couldn't suppress his anger, so you have to forgive him."
Tang Xiaoxiao nodded gently and pushed Tang Zheng, "You go and accompany dad. I understand him. Who told me that I really did something wrong? It's normal for him to hit me... After receiving this slap, I My heart will at least feel better."
Tang Zheng nodded, "As long as you can figure it out."
Looking at Tang Zheng's leaving back, Tang Xiaoxiao's tears finally couldn't stop flowing down her cheeks. She leaned against the wall, with a self-deprecating smile on her lips, and took out a box of women's cigarettes from her pocket. , lit the cigarette with trembling hands, and took a long puff.
Tang Xiaoxiao, who has never smoked, made an exception for the first time.
She insisted on not smoking before because she was thinking about her voice and body, but today... maybe only cigarettes can numb her nerves.
You want me to understand Dad, but has he ever understood me this time? You just know how hasty my decision-making was this time, so why don’t you ask why I was so hasty
If it hadn't been for my father's abnormal attitude in the past two years, if it hadn't been for the pressure from all aspects that forced me to have no other choice, if it hadn't been for the Yu family's old man forcing me to make the final choice, I would have completely lost confidence in my autonomy in marriage, and I would have lost all confidence in my autonomy in marriage. I have no confidence in my father... Why would I pursue status and power in such a radical way!
-You forced me to do all this!
I just want to control my own destiny, I just want my marriage not to become a tool for trading, I just want not to become a tool in the hands of others... Am I wrong
"Dad... have you changed, or were you pretending too well before?" Tang Xiaoxiao let tears flow down her cheeks, "You would never be like this before! I have no confidence in you now." there is none left… "
After wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, Tang Xiaoxiao put out the cigarette in her hand and straightened her hair and eyes in the bathroom mirror. She finally took a deep breath and regained her courage and walked to her office. .
When he arrived at the office, Tang Yuanfeng was sitting on the chairman's chair, looking at the group's financial statements on the table with a cold expression while chatting with Tang Zheng.
Tang Zheng was sitting on the sofa and saw Tang Xiaoxiao coming in. He quickly turned his mouth towards Tang Yuanfeng and signaled Tang Xiaoxiao to apologize to his father.
"Dad..." Tang Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, lowered his proud head, and choked with sobs, "I'm sorry, I was too hasty this time. This kind of thing... will never happen again in the future."
Tang Yuanfeng shook his hand, looked at his daughter with a frosty face, and asked coldly, "No, I don't want to hear your apology. The only thing I want to know now is how on earth are you going to make up for this mistake? This loss. , it’s not just as simple as tens of billions of yuan, one of your mistakes directly brought Tang Dynasty Industry to the brink of bankruptcy, and it also had an extremely bad impact on the reputation of our Tang chaebol, putting our Tang family in a desperate situation, - you What can we do to make up for it?”
Tang Xiaoxiao's heart felt like it was falling into the abyss. She gritted her teeth and suddenly looked up at her father and asked, "Dad, how do you want me to make up for it?"
Tang Yuanfeng raised his eyebrows and tapped his knuckles on the table rhythmically. He did not expect that his daughter, who had always been well-behaved and docile, actually kicked the ball directly to him.
"You are not young either. You are 24 years old. Most daughters of other families would have already gotten married and had children by your age..." Tang Yuanfeng was silent for a moment and said slowly.
Tang Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth, her silver teeth almost embedded in her flesh, bringing out streaks of blood. The most terrifying nightmare finally came, and the person who brought this nightmare was the person she never expected. …
The father who loved and doted on him the most, in such a moment, turned out to be such a stranger!
Scenes from the past came to mind, the father who loved him the most, the father who considered everything for himself, the good father who gave up everything else for his daughter, the loving father who held up a carefree sky for his daughter. Father, the parent who was willing to send his daughter to Taiwan in order to fulfill her dream... the father who had moved Tang Xiaoxiao countless times!
Dad, tell me, why did you suddenly become like this? Why did it suddenly become so strange? Is it just the passage of time and the estrangement of space that is enough to make you what you are today, and to make our father and daughter so cold and alienated to this point? !
Dad... Are there only cold interests left between us father and daughter
The moment of despair shattered the last warmth and light in her heart. Her whole body seemed to be completely swallowed up by darkness, and only despair, coldness and pain remained in her whole life...
Before Tang Yuanfeng could continue, Tang Xiaoxiao raised his eyes. The agility and vitality in his dark eyes disappeared, leaving only numbness and indifference. He looked at his beloved father like a puppet and said lightly, "Dad, tell me your decision - who should I marry?"
Tang Yuanfeng looked at his daughter who was so blank, opened his mouth, but finally said nothing, just said a name lightly, "Yu Lingye."
"Okay." Tang Xiaoxiao responded, turned around indifferently, and slowly opened the door like a puppet on strings.
Looking at Tang Xiaoxiao like that, Tang Zheng finally recovered from the sudden blow, stood up with a groan, looked at Tang Yuanfeng in shock, and couldn't help shouting, "Dad! What are you doing today?!" Don't scare Xiaoxiao like this, do you know... What she fears most is not being able to control her own destiny, aren't you forcing her?!"
"I didn't force her." Tang Yuanfeng lowered his eyelids, his eyes darkened, and said calmly, "I'm not scaring her either. She has been in love with Yu Lingye for such a long time, and she should have gotten married long ago... Moreover, people do If something is wrong, shouldn't she be responsible for her own fault? This is a responsibility that she should bear. Although I am her father, there is no need to bear these responsibilities for her. "
Tang Zheng shook his head unacceptable, "Dad... you were not like this before! What happened to you? Isn't Xiaoxiao your most beloved daughter? Isn't she everything to you? Why don't you forgive her this time? Fault? The entire Tang family belongs to her, why do you want to hold her responsible for the loss of so much?!"
Tang Yuanfeng turned the swivel chair under him, with his back to Tang Zheng, and looked at all the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window with a distant look, "Before this, the Yu family contacted me, and we have agreed to hold a meeting between Xiaoxiao and Yu next month. Although Ling Ye's wedding was a bit hasty, because of Xiaoxiao's mistake this time, we must resolve all the consequences of the failure of the Baitou Reef development plan as soon as possible. After their marriage, I will announce the cancellation of her relationship with the Tang chaebol. The inheritance rights... Xiaoxiao is not suitable to inherit the Tang family's business."
"Dad..." Tang Zheng looked at Tang Yuanfeng's back with dumbfounded eyes, "Dad, are you kidding me?! If Xiaoxiao doesn't inherit the Tang family's property, who can?"
Tang Yuanfeng smiled faintly and suddenly turned his head, "Xiao Zheng, I originally wanted to hand over the inheritance rights of the Tang family to Jing Chen, but... Jing Chen disappointed me so much, so now you are the only one to inherit the Tang family. After all, Xiaoxiao is just a girl, and I can’t control that much about the person she marries and the water she throws away.”
"Are you kidding?!" Tang Zheng suddenly jumped up from the sofa, like a cat with fried fur, "Dad! I don't want to inherit the Tang family!"
Tang Yuanfeng smiled confidently, "Xiao Zheng, you refuse now because you have not experienced the feeling of power and status... When one day you sit in this position, you will not say that. - No man can refuse. Get the pleasure that power brings.”
Tang Zheng shook his head stubbornly, "Dad, really, I am not suitable for this position. Rather than controlling the Tang family and having overwhelming power, I would rather be a small star and live a hard-working and peaceful life. Instead of wearing a hypocritical mask every day and letting myself live in a life of calculation and intrigue, I want to live a simple life - definitely not so hypocritical!"
With that said, Tang Zheng stood up stubbornly and proudly, resolutely opened the door and walked out.
Until Tang Zheng left, a beautiful woman with a hint of amorous feelings in her eyebrows walked out of the chairman's lounge. She was none other than Ning Anhui, the controller of the Tangren Group. She shook her head helplessly, "Brother, why are you like this? It’s not me who says that Xiao Zheng’s temperament is too aloof from the world, and his nature is simple and easy to bully, so he is really not suitable to be the controller of the Tang family.”
Tang Yuanfeng smiled lightly, "Xiaoxiao is just a girl after all. Look at so many families, how can any girl inherit the family business?"
Ning Anhui was speechless for a moment.
Yu Lingye and Tang Xiaoxiao were about to get married. This explosive news spread quickly, and it actually made the wealthy family completely excited!
It has been a long time since such an important happy event occurred among China's wealthy families, which naturally caused a frenzy among the entire upper class. As the top aristocratic families in China and the leaders of China's first-class wealthy families, Yu Lingye and Tang Xiaoxiao are the leaders of their respective families. They have been in love for several years, and now they are finally ready to get married and are about to get married. ... This completely sounded the clarion call for the marriage of two powerful families!
Just when everyone was eagerly awaiting the perfect marriage of this golden couple, no one expected that two young men and women who were supposed to be a match made in heaven were sitting in Yu Lingye's bedroom, looking at each other in silence.
