Yang Yang's face was filled with disbelief.
"Lingyun, what are you talking about?"
"You were there at the time, how can you say you don't know?"
Was it really that difficult to vouch for his fiancée?
Ye Lingyun stood up and said meaningfully, "I was talking to President Pan about cooperation. Unlike you, you focus all your attention on irrelevant people and things, only inviting trouble."
"Lingyun, I didn't, it was Tang Xiaomin..."
Ye Lingyun didn't want to listen to her nonsense.
"Making mistakes isn't scary, what's scary is not knowing where you went wrong. And continuing to make the same mistake."
He knew very well that Yang Yang, out of fear of Tang Xiaomin, kept trying to target her.
The reason he didn't stop her was because he was tired of it all.
He turned and left.
"Where are you going?" Mrs. Ye asked.
"I've finalized the cooperation with President Pan and am now going to prepare the cooperation proposal."
This answer satisfied Mrs. Ye, and her face showed a look of relief.
"Good, son, you must seize this opportunity and let the shareholders see your strength, laying a good foundation for you to take over the group in the future."
Ye Lingyun didn't say anything and left.
He had carried the high hopes of his parents since childhood. The most he heard was that he had to work hard and strive to inherit Ye's Group and stand at the peak of glory.
Along with this came the pressure from Ye Fengxing. Everyone said that only Ye Fengxing could lead Ye's Group to greater glory.
He endured the pressure like this, working hard while also pretending to be a good-for-nothing rich kid.
Playing boring red card games to deceive everyone and hide his ambitions.
After pretending for so many years, he felt like he had lost himself.
Now that all this had finally paid off, he still had to fight tirelessly for it. He couldn't figure out if this was what he truly wanted.
Or was he actually being controlled by all of this, doing this and that? Even his marital happiness had to be sacrificed.
Before he met Tang Xiaomin, he could tolerate all of this.
But after his heart was stirred, he finally understood how terrifying it was to spend the rest of his life with someone he didn't like.
He felt an unprecedented weariness, even disgust with it all.
He wanted to resist all of this, at any cost!
...
Watching Ye Lingyun leave, Yang Yang felt a dull ache in her heart.
"Auntie, I really didn't."
Mrs. Ye glanced at her with disappointment.
"Alright, it doesn't matter what you did, what matters is how others see you. People's words are fearsome. I'll spare you for now.
"If you cause trouble again next time, and people point fingers and gossip, I'll make it clear beforehand: Ye's Group does not need a notorious madam."
After Mrs. Ye left, Yang Yang stamped her feet on the spot in anger.
What's wrong with causing trouble?
Tang Xiaomin also caused trouble, yet she was fine.
Why was it that now everything was her fault and everyone was lecturing her?
Ye Lingyun liked Tang Xiaomin, so it was Tang Xiaomin who was in the wrong.
She knew very well that if even Mrs. Ye didn't stand by her, then her wish to live in harmony with Ye Lingyun would be impossible.
No, she had to find a way to turn the tables.
...
In the hospital, Tang Xiaomin opened a thermal container and fed Zhang Meiyu.
"Mom, the doctor said you need to be observed for another week. If there are no adverse reactions, you can be discharged and go home."
It had been almost a month since Zhang Meiyu's surgery.
During this time, she had been staying in the hospital, recuperating, and her recovery was progressing quickly.
Zhang Meiyu ate two bowls of rice, then got out of bed and walked to the window to look at the scenery.
"The weather outside is so good. Xiaomin, can you accompany me for a walk and smell the flowers?"
"Okay, I'll get the wheelchair."
For safety reasons, Tang Xiaomin still didn't dare to let Zhang Meiyu walk by herself.
Pushing her through the hospital garden, the warm spring sunshine shone on them, and various small flowers surrounded them, lifting their spirits.
As they walked, Zhang Meiyu suddenly asked.
"Where is Tang Zhongcheng buried?"
Hearing this, Tang Xiaomin's heart skipped a beat. She was shocked that Zhang Meiyu already knew about it.
"Mom... you know."
"I heard it from Wang Na. Life is unpredictable. The dead cannot come back to life. If they're dead, they're dead."
Being alive would only be disgusting and an eyesore to her.
Tang Zhongcheng was dead, yet Zhang Meiyu was so calm. What did she know?
"Mom, because you just had surgery, we were afraid of affecting you, so we didn't dare to tell you about my father."
"That's not it. Tang Zhongcheng drove drunk and caused his own death. That was his fate. You children still giving him a decent funeral is already the utmost benevolence."
To cover up the heart condition, the Tang family announced to the outside world that Tang Zhongcheng had died in a car accident due to drunk driving.
"Mom, Dad is gone. We buried him next to Tang Xu."
Zhang Meiyu nodded.
"He always wanted to be reunited with his family. Burying him next to Tang Xu will keep him company, and that's good."
It was good this way. As for Tang Zhongcheng's contributions, Tang Xiaomin decided to keep them to herself forever, as long as Zhang Meiyu was well. Su Dan Novel Network.
In the afternoon, Tang Xiaomin unexpectedly received a call from President Pan.
"Hello."
"Miss Tang, Young Master Yun from Ye's Group came to see me, hoping to cooperate."
What did their cooperation have to do with her? Why was he telling her?
She didn't believe in pies falling from the sky for something that came out of thin air.
"President Pan, if you are discussing business matters, I think you should call Yan Jue. I am currently just a university student and am not interested in business."
For President Pan, Tang Xiaomin's words were as speechless as Jack Ma's saying, "I'm not interested in money."
The combined assets under Tang Xiaomin's name were definitely among the top ten female billionaires in Shanghai, and that was excluding Xianfu Group.
"Miss Tang, I think you misunderstood. I came to Shanghai this time to establish a technology company. What I discussed with Young Master Yun was about financing."
"We are all friends. If what I say interests you, let's meet and discuss it in detail."
President Pan threw a huge olive branch at Tang Xiaomin. As a businesswoman, Tang Xiaomin found this offer hard to refuse.
"Let me think about it. I'll send you a reply later."
After hanging up the phone, Tang Xiaomin went straight to the office of Xianfu Group.
"Lu Xing, give me the information about President Pan coming to Shanghai to establish a technology company."
Hearing this, Lu Xing looked troubled.
"Miss Tang, I haven't heard any news about this. If I investigate now, it will take some time."
"What? Not a single word?"
Such a big event with absolutely no leaks filled Tang Xiaomin with an unknown sense of unease.
Especially the powerful robot war god that President Pan had created. Its combat power was still vivid in Tang Xiaomin's memory.
If there was anyone in this world that Tang Xiaomin feared, it would be President Pan.
