In her previous life, they had sent her to the operating table to extract her kidney, and they had killed her.
Zhang Meiyu was one of the main culprits.
She had given birth to her.
Therefore, Tang Xiaomin would not personally end Zhang Meiyu's life.
Zhang Meiyu had been deceived so miserably by Tang Zhongcheng; living was a daily torment for her.
It was better to die and go to the underworld.
A bowl of Meng Po's soup, forgetting all past events, and finding release.
...
"Doctor, when will she wake up?"
The chief physician said dejectedly, "Miss Tang, forgive me for being blunt, but if it weren't for your family's considerable wealth, for an ordinary family, with expenses of hundreds of thousands a day, your mother's life would likely have ended here."
"As for when she will wake up, it depends on fate."
"Your several brothers are quite optimistic, but some matters, you should make arrangements for as early as possible."
The doctor's implication was that they could start preparing for Zhang Meiyu's funeral.
Tang Xiaomin said nothing and returned to the Tang family.
That evening, Tang Yu convened a family meeting.
The meeting's agenda revolved around Zhang Meiyu's critical condition and the inheritance of the Tang Corporation's shares.
Although he was reluctant to discuss such matters while their mother was critically ill.
However, for the future stability of the Tang Corporation, Tang Yu had to speak.
"Mom is critically ill, and she is the largest shareholder of the Tang Corporation. Moreover, she... has not made a will or anything."
"Of course, I hope she wakes up soon. What we are discussing today is the matter of the Tang Corporation's shares."
"According to the law, since Father and Mother are divorced, Father has no right to inherit Mother's shares. If Mother truly passes away, the five of us will have equal qualifications to divide Mother's assets equally."
"Everything else can be discussed, but the Tang Corporation's shares absolutely cannot be dispersed. I believe you all understand the stakes involved." Su Dan Novel Network
No matter how close brothers are, they will eventually form their own families.
Distraction is inevitable.
If they cannot work together, the Tang Corporation will no longer be under their control.
Tang Yu's intention was for one person to inherit Zhang Meiyu's shares in the Tang Corporation.
However, who would inherit them?
Silence fell upon them for a long time.
Tang Ye, whose career was not going smoothly, spoke first.
"According to the law, if it's to be divided, then let it be divided."
Tang Xu also said, "I agree with Tang Ye."
Hearing this, Tang Yu's brow furrowed.
"According to the law, anyone can indeed divide it. But if this happens, the shares will be dispersed, and I will no longer have absolute authority in the company. At that time, none of us will have a good life."
"I hope you can put aside your personal interests first..."
"Aren't you just trying to inherit Mom's shares yourself? Big Brother, will you really distribute the shares to us few in the future?" Tang Ye said coldly.
Clearly, he did not trust Tang Yu.
What one fears, often comes to pass.
With Zhang Meiyu seriously ill, facing the coveted Tang Corporation shares, it was difficult to reach a consensus.
Tang Yu thought for a moment and said, "I can write an agreement."
"It's just a written agreement. If you don't abide by it later, won't all the Tang Corporation's shares belong to you alone? I disagree."
"Tang Ye, can't you use your brain a little? Only if the Tang Corporation is firmly in our hands can we all have a good life..."
"Whoever holds it has a good life. Do you take us for fools?"
...
Tang Yu and the other two argued for only a few sentences in the living room before they started to quarrel.
They bickered endlessly.
Zhang Meiyu was not yet dead, and they were already busy distributing her inheritance.
Although this was human nature, Tang Xiaomin found their red-faced arguments uncomfortable.
The Tang family they were so proud of was also time for its demise.
Tang Xiaomin couldn't be bothered to deal with them and silently turned to go upstairs. She found the engagement letter and the two red books of betrothal gifts from the Ye family.
She recalled how, on the road, she had been chased by thirty people.
Tang Xiaomin looked at the engagement letter with a coldness spreading in her eyes.
There were many factions interested in her engagement to the Ye family.
In her previous life, she had been chased by the Nangong family.
But she was lucky and didn't die.
This engagement was a curse. This time, she would directly and cleanly break it off.
Although it was a "cheap slut's" affair, there was no other way.
...
A week after Zhang Meiyu fell into a coma, Ye Fengxing took the time to visit her.
Tang Yiyi feigned a chance encounter with Ye Fengxing.
"Brother Ye, are you here to see... Mother..."
Tang Yiyi retracted the words she was about to say.
"She doesn't allow me to call her that anymore. But no matter what my identity is, no matter how much she dislikes me, I have always considered her my mother."
Ye Fengxing had heard that Tang Yiyi was Tang Zhongcheng's illegitimate daughter.
He also understood clearly that Zhang Meiyu was so enraged by them that she became critically ill.
At this moment, he felt even more indifferent towards Tang Yiyi.
"If you truly have self-awareness, then stay far away from her."
Hearing this, Tang Yiyi's heart sank.
Did he also look down on her?
As Ye Fengxing was about to leave, Tang Yiyi suddenly chased after him.
"Brother Ye, I know you like my sister, but my sister is not worth your liking."
"She is engaged to you, yet she is still entangled with a man surnamed Yan. Some nights she doesn't return to the Tang family, she goes to the Immortal Mansion Group in the suburbs."
"Brother Ye, I truly don't want you to be kept in the dark, which is why I'm telling you this."
"Perhaps you'll think I'm jealous of my sister and deliberately badmouthing her. But no matter what you think of me, the facts are the facts."
Ye Fengxing knew what Tang Yiyi was saying.
Since Tang Xiaomin's birthday banquet, he had not contacted Tang Xiaomin once.
And Tang Xiaomin also did not take the initiative to contact him.
She had even brought her adoptive parents to live near the Immortal Mansion Group.
Tang Xiaomin placed her unconditional trust in the man surnamed Yan.
This made Ye Fengxing very jealous.
Clearly, that man wasn't as rich as him.
Yet he still felt defeated.
Clearly, that was just an arrogant man.
At this moment, Tang Xiaomin also happened to arrive at the hospital and overheard Tang Yiyi complaining to Ye Fengxing.
Tang Xiaomin walked over and looked at Tang Yiyi with a half-smile.
"What, speaking ill of me behind my back, trying to get ahead?"
Tang Yiyi was startled at first, then retorted unyieldingly, "What's wrong with me liking Brother Ye? I just can't stand you deceiving Brother Ye and playing with his feelings."
"Tang Xiaomin, with your fickle heart, are you worthy of Brother Ye?"
At this moment, Tang Yiyi stood on a moral high ground to criticize Tang Xiaomin.
She longed to marry Ye Fengxing.
Coincidentally, Tang Xiaomin would fulfill her wish today.
"Fine, if I've wronged him, then I'll go to the Ye family to break off the engagement tomorrow. Tang Yiyi, I'll fulfill your wish."
Upon hearing this, Ye Fengxing frowned.
"Xiaomin, are you sure you want to do this?"
Tang Yiyi's eyes lit up, and she seized the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.
"Brother Ye, everyone is saying Tang Xiaomin cheated on you. It's best to break off the engagement with such a woman as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will only affect your reputation."
