The two little fellows sent them to school in the morning, and returned home at night. After finis.h.i.+ng the homework a.s.signed by the teacher, they started to play separately, and were almost five years old, so there was no need to worry excessively about being an adult anymore. This also made Tang Youyou a lot less worried.
On the night that Ji Xiaohan left the country, the old lady called Lan Yue to invite her over for di
er.
Lan Yue, who was carrying the two children around, naturally came over with a lot of joy. She brought a lot of toys and snacks for the two children to eat.
The two little fellows also followed behind her with sweet mouths as they called out to her and her grandma.
Perhaps it was because they were related by blood, but after just a few times, the little guy already liked Lan Yue very much. Lan Yue"s affection for her children was naturally deep and deep, just like the old lady"s.
After di
er, Lan Yue left. The old lady had sent word that she would come over to eat whenever she wanted to see her child. Tears were in Lan Yue"s eyes as she left, but she kept nodding her head.
The next morning, Tang Youyou still prepared to go to the company. Although Ji Xiaohan had warned her to not do anything even if she went to the company and only enjoy the relaxed atmosphere in the company, Tang Youyou was not a very lazy person. Moreover, she liked this job, so she accepted a list and decided to do it seriously.
It was around 10 in the morning!
Tang Youyou received a call that shocked and surprised her.
Tang Youyou thought that he was going to scold her until her head was soaked in dog blood on the phone, but what surprised her was that Tang Youkang"s tone was very calm. He even said that he would treat her to lunch, and that his foster mother had left something for her to eat with her.
Tang Youyou was so shocked that she didn"t know how to answer him. However, Tang Youkang seemed to be very sincere. He swept over the grudges with the same tone as before, making Tang Youyou feel like it was a lifetime ago.
"Youyou, come out for a meal. I really want to apologize to you." Seeing that she didn"t answer, Tang Youkang"s tone became more pleading.
"Don"t you hate me?" Since the accident, Tang Youyou had become a lot more vigilant towards others.
Even if Tang Youkang was her foster father, there was still hatred between them, so she wouldn"t easily go see him.
"I don"t hate her anymore. I know that all of this is Xuerou"s fault. It"s because she"s too ambitious and too forceful. You"ve always been a gentle and sensible child. I know that." Tang Youkang"s sincere att.i.tude made it hard for people to understand what exactly he was playing at.
Tang Youyou hoped that Tang Youkang would treat her relations.h.i.+p with Tang Xuerou fairly. After all, she wasn"t the one in the wrong.
Tang Youyou had initially sent her to the hotel after fainting and then borrowed Ji Xiaohan"s position after she left. Now, she had framed her in all sorts of ways. Tang Youyou truly felt that she had been wrongly accused.
"What did my mother leave me?" Tang Youyou"s kindness to her adoptive mother had always been great.
"It"s something that belonged to you when you were young. Your mother kept it very well. Before she left, she also entrusted me with it. I must give it to you!" Tang Youkang said in a low voice.
"Then send it to me. I have to go to work now, so I don"t have time to go out." If it was her mother who left it for her, she would definitely cherish it.
"Youyou, do you hate me that much? In the past, you also called me your father for over twenty years! " Tang Youkang"s sudden tone of sadness was quite pitiful.
However, Tang Youyou said faintly, "I once treated you with the same respect as my father, but now it"s not the case. I feel that it"s better for us to be strangers!"
"Youyou, I"ve already lost Xuerou, I really don"t want to lose you anymore. I know, before, I was the one who protected Xuerou and hurt your heart, and now I have also reflected on it, you are both my daughters that I raised and raised, you were all my hopes and pride. Youyou, dad knew that I was wrong, can"t you forgive me?" Tang Youkang started to cry on the other end of the phone. He looked really sad.
Even if Tang Youyou was a person who was beaten down by iron, she couldn"t ignore her father"s sincerity.
"Alright, I"ll treat you to lunch at noon. It"s a restaurant opposite my company. Come over!" Tang Youyou finally took a step back. The relations.h.i.+p between father and daughter couldn"t be fixed, but she wanted to get what her mother had given her.
"Good, good!" Tang Youkang immediately agreed to her request.
Noon!
Tang Youyou booked a table in a pretty good restaurant. Behind her followed two tall and st.u.r.dy bodyguards. The whole time she had been wearing a stern expression which frightened people when they saw her.
Tang Youkang drove over. He was stu
ed for a moment when he saw the two bodyguards behind Tang Youyou. Then, he smiled and said, "Youyou, your ident.i.ty isn"t ordinary anymore. It"s necessary to bring the bodyguards to travel frequently."
When Tang Youyou heard this, she only smiled and said, "I don"t know how to address you. When you said you would break off the relations.h.i.+p between father and daughter, I took it seriously. Now that I have found my biological father, I might change my surname in a few days."
Hearing this, Tang Youkang"s face froze for a moment, but he quickly laughed dryly: "It"s fine to change it, since your father has already been found. If you don"t want to call me father, then call me uncle, that"s fine!"
"Alright, then I"ll call you Uncle Tang!" Tang Youyou nodded in agreement.
Tang Youkang sighed and opened up his handbag. He took out an alb.u.m and some of the little hand ornaments that Tang Youyou brought with her when she was young. They were all stored in a small wooden box.
"These things were secretly made for you by your mother. You can take them back and collect them." Tang Youkang really gave these things to Tang Youyou.
Tang Youyou"s heart ached as she looked at it. Tears welled up in her eyes as she took them carefully. "Thank you. I don"t know what to say, but we may all be at fault for the situation we"re in today."
"No, it"s all Xuerou"s fault. She"s been strong since she was young, and she wants to surpa.s.s you in everything. If a person"s ambition is greater than her ability, then it"s very likely that they"ll take the wrong path. I"m also an experienced person, I know that, but there are too many people who aren"t willing to reflect on themselves." Tang Youkang had a look of shame on his face.
Tang Youyou nodded. Indeed, being too ambitious was not a good thing.
"That"s right, Youyou. Father has found a new job and I"ve decided to live a good life again." Tang Youkang suddenly looked up at her and said.
"Is that so? That"s good! " Tang Youyou already knew about the Kang family"s bankruptcy and also knew that once Tang Xuerou fell, her Tang Family would be immediately restored to its original state.
