The Tang Yiyi on the other end of the phone was furious.
Tang Zhongcheng had hit her and said such things as he was better off without her.
Now that something had happened, he was looking for her to sign.
Tang Yiyi said nothing and hung up the phone.
When the nurse called again, the phone was already switched off.
The nurse was so angry she cursed profusely.
"What kind of daughter is this, hanging up the phone? It's truly baffling."
At this moment, the doctor's urgent voice came from the emergency room.
"Have the family members signed yet? Hurry up!"
The nurse frowned as she looked at Tang Xiaomin, then suddenly remembered something.
"Alas, the person inside is Tang Zhongcheng, so you must be Tang Xiaomin. I've seen your Weibo posts, you're his daughter, right?"
"Come on, sign quickly!"
Tang Xiaomin, albeit reluctantly, signed her name.
The nurse then took the documents and rushed back.
Tang Zhongcheng's old illness was triggered by excessive fatigue.
After being out of danger, he slept for a night.
During his unconsciousness, he had a nightmare.
It was a nightmare about Tang Xiaomin.
Tang Zhongcheng slept for a whole night. When he woke up the next morning, his four sons were surrounding his hospital bed.
And also, Tang Yiyi and Li Xue.
Everyone looked at him with concern.
"Dad, you're finally awake," Tang Yu said worriedly.
Tang Zhongcheng looked around but did not see Tang Xiaomin.
"Where is Tang Xiaomin? Where did she go?"
Tang Yiyi said, "Dad, Tang Xiaomin didn't even come to the hospital. What unrealistic fantasies are you still clinging to?"
Tang Zhongcheng wasn't having unrealistic fantasies; he had a nightmare.
In the dream, he had done extremely improper things to Tang Xiaomin.
Waking up, he felt guilty.
A young nurse nearby, being straightforward, couldn't stand Li Xue's words and retorted on the spot.
"Tang Xiaomin brought the patient to the hospital that day. When it was time to sign, I used the patient's phone to call someone named Tang Yiyi to come to the hospital for the signature. That person actually hung up and ignored it."
"Later, it was Tang Xiaomin who signed and paid the money. She only left the hospital after the patient was out of danger."
"You came later. Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. No one thinks you're mute."
Hearing Tang Yiyi say that Tang Xiaomin hadn't been to the hospital, the Tang brothers looked at her with changed expressions.
Tang Xiaomin was the one who brought Tang Zhongcheng to the hospital.
How could she not have been there? It was clearly a lie.
After being retorted by the nurse, Tang Yiyi quickly changed her tune.
"I... I didn't see her when I arrived. I came right after I hung up."
The nurse continued to retort, "It's been four hours since then, did you crawl here?"
Tang Yiyi continued to make excuses, "I got stuck in traffic on the way. I really didn't intend to be so late."
The nurse pressed on, "Who are you kidding? It was nine in the morning, the morning rush hour was long over."
"I was really late because of traffic. Why don't you believe me?"
Tang Yiyi insisted on her excuse.
The nurse looked at Tang Yiyi and gave a meaningful cold smile, no longer bothering to argue with her.
Hospitals were places that truly tested human nature. Those who understood, understood.
Tang Zhongcheng looked at Tang Yiyi and Li Xue with complex eyes.
Everything he had done for Tang Yiyi was more than enough.
He had lost his original happy family and his reputation.
As a father, he had raised Tang Yiyi; his responsibility was fulfilled.
"I'll leave the villa in Qingshuiwan to you, and I'll give you some money. I will never return or live with you again."
With these words, Tang Zhongcheng was disowning Tang Yiyi.
Instantly, Tang Yiyi's face turned pale.
"Dad... you... you don't want me anymore?"
"I really was late because of traffic. You can scold me or punish me, but you can't abandon me!"
Li Xue's face also changed, and she quickly said, "Sir, Yiyi is your daughter. Even if you dislike me, you can't abandon your own biological daughter."
Li Xue had clearly forgotten that Tang Zhongcheng could abandon even the daughter born to his lawful wife, Tang Xiaomin.
How could Tang Yiyi, a mere illegitimate child, fare any better?
Tang Zhongcheng said helplessly, "I only want to be with Meiyu now. You're not children anymore, can you stop bothering me?"
"Take the house and my remaining money, and live your own lives. I have nothing left and can't give you anything more."
"Please let me go."
This time, Tang Zhongcheng was truly tired.
He didn't want to manage anything, nor could he.
"Sir, you can't abandon Yiyi! She's still in college, you can't just abandon her."
"Dad, you can't abandon me, Dad."
"Dad..."
No matter how much Tang Yiyi and Li Xue pleaded, Tang Zhongcheng remained unmoved this time.
"I need to rest. You should all leave."
Tang Zhongcheng lay down and closed his eyes.
The nurse heard the commotion from the room and came over, saying, "The adjacent ward is complaining about the noise, disturbing others. If you can't be quiet, please leave quickly!"
The nurse ushered out the Tang brothers, as well as Tang Yiyi and Li Xue.
Tang Yiyi and Li Xue wanted to say more. Su Dan Fiction Network.
Tang Yu said helplessly, "Our mother is critically ill, and Dad is very worried about her. He has already given you the house and money. Please don't bother him anymore."
"Dad doesn't want me anymore?" Tang Yiyi cried.
This was their father's decision, and the brothers couldn't change anything.
Tang Xu said, "If you have any problems in the future, we will definitely help you. Don't be afraid."
They only offered such belated words of comfort after she had been abandoned.
It was just to console them, what good would it do?
Tang Yiyi couldn't understand why Tang Zhongcheng suddenly disowned her after going to Tianshan to pay respects.
Distraught, she returned to the villa in Qingshuiwan. For the first time, Tang Yiyi experienced the feeling of being helpless and alone.
Aunt Xue's face turned ashen. "What a Tang Zhongcheng! To abandon his own daughter, he truly has a heart of stone."
Tang Yiyi said, "He is so devoted to Zhang Meiyu. Could it be that he will also abandon me and resent me like Zhang Meiyu?"
"It's all your fault. If you had been more capable and married him, how would I be an illegitimate child, and how would I have been abandoned by him!"
Li Xue also wished she could have replaced Zhang Meiyu.
However, Zhang Meiyu's status was not something that could be easily shaken.
Tang Zhongcheng was no longer reliable.
Aunt Xue closed her eyes heavily, accepting the reality.
"The Tang Corporation is in crisis, and it's uncertain if they can survive. Tang Zhongcheng is unreliable, and the Tang Corporation is not worth expecting either."
"Yiyi, we can't rely on them anymore. We have to forge our own future."
