"Yiyi is innocent. I hope you won't target her."
Tang Xu's words were full of protection and care for Tang Yiyi.
Tang Xu was usually taciturn, his emotions unreadable.
Even his own mother, Zhang Meiyu, couldn't fathom his thoughts.
"Xiao Min is your real sister. You're caring for the wrong person."
"But in her heart, she has never considered me her brother. She has also never considered us her family. You should be clearer about this than I am," Tang Xu said.
"Who do you choose between me and Tang Yiyi?" Zhang Meiyu posed the question of the century.
Tang Xu's expression grew even more unpleasant.
"You are my mother, of course, I choose you."
Zhang Meiyu nodded.
"Since that's the case, from today onwards, I forbid you from interacting with Tang Yiyi. If you continue to be stubborn, then we will sever ties."
"Mom, do you have to force me like this?"
Zhang Meiyu stared intently at Tang Xu.
"I'm not forcing you. It's you who has made me too sad."
Her own son was constantly thinking about the daughter of the mistress.
What mother could tolerate such a situation?
Butler Wang accompanied Zhang Meiyu into the villa.
As soon as they opened the door and stepped inside, Tang Yiyi's excited voice was heard.
"Third Brother, you're finally back..."
When Tang Yiyi realized it was Zhang Meiyu who had arrived.
Her face immediately turned pale. She involuntarily took two steps back, lowering her head, appearing somewhat frightened.
Zhang Meiyu shot a glare at Tang Yiyi.
"Where is Li Xue?"
Tang Yiyi quickly shook her head.
"I don't know, I really don't know."
Tang Yiyi was full of lies. It was unclear whether she genuinely didn't know or was feigning ignorance.
Tang Xu followed them in and also said, "Yiyi really doesn't know Li Xue's whereabouts. Li Xue hasn't returned either."
Tang Xu's words were actually quite believable.
Could it be that Li Xue had truly drowned and sunk to the bottom of the lake?
Zhang Meiyu then said to Tang Xu, "Put down the things and come home with me now. Otherwise, you will no longer be my son, Zhang Meiyu's son."
Having made her statement, Zhang Meiyu then left the villa.
At this moment, Tang Yiyi, frightened, stepped forward and grabbed Tang Xu's arm, looking at him with a wronged expression.
"Third Brother, I'm scared. Please don't leave me here alone."
"Stay and keep me company, don't go, okay?"
Tang Yiyi's tears began to fall as if on cue.
She truly looked quite wronged when she cried.
Seeing her like this, Tang Xu felt a great deal of sympathy.
Tang Xu silently put down the items he had bought for Tang Yiyi, then pulled her to sit on the sofa.
He gave Tang Yiyi two pills and a glass of water.
"You won't be scared after taking some medicine. Here."
"Third Brother..."
Tang Yiyi tearfully took the medicine Tang Xu had prepared for her.
"Tomorrow, I'll find a nanny to take care of you, so you won't be scared."
"The scandals are quite intense lately. Don't go out for now, and Third Brother will help you find a solution."
Tang Xu comforted Tang Yiyi, patted her shoulder, and left the villa.
Tang Yiyi reluctantly chased him to the door, watching forlornly as Tang Xu got into the car and left with Zhang Meiyu.
Now, it seemed all her elder brothers were gradually distancing themselves from her.
Ever since Tang Corporation was acquired by Tang Xiao Min, everyone seemed to be busy with their own futures.
They had no time to worry about her or concern themselves with her affairs.
After Tang Xu left.
Tang Yiyi faced the empty villa alone.
In her ears, she seemed to hear unspeakable curses, and around her, it felt as though eggs and vegetable leaves were about to be thrown at her at any moment.
Tang Yiyi cowered on the sofa, trembling with fear.
She remembered Tang Xu's words about taking medicine to not be afraid.
So, she grabbed the medicine bottle, poured out two pills, and swallowed them.
She was still scared.
She simply poured out a handful and ate them all without counting.
The medicine prescribed to Tang Yiyi was a sedative. After taking an overdose, it indeed had an effect.
On television, news was being broadcast about Xianfu Group's cooperation with President Pan.
Occasionally, images of Tang Xiao Min and Yan Jue standing together could be seen.
Tang Yiyi gritted her teeth and angrily grabbed a cushion, throwing it at the television.
"Tang Xiao Min!"
"You stole everything from me, and I will absolutely not let you go!"
"I will not let you go even if I die!"
"What do I have to do for you to disappear?"
"Why don't you just die? Why did you come back to compete with me! Why!"
The room was silent; no one was destined to answer Tang Yiyi's questions.
...
Ye Group.
Ye Fengxing suddenly invited Tang Yu over.
Ye Group had severely harmed the Tang family, and Tang Yu should not have come.
However, Ye Fengxing's people had said they could help him make a comeback.
Tang Yu truly couldn't bear the days of idleness after losing Tang Corporation.
"Why are you suddenly looking for me, Mr. Ye?" Tang Yu asked.
Ye Fengxing had thought it over and reached the same conclusion as Old Master Ye.
"It must be very difficult for you to watch Tang Corporation be ruined in your hands," Ye Fengxing said.
Anyone would find it difficult to watch a company crumble under their leadership.
That question was redundant.
Tang Yu snorted coldly.
"Don't beat around the bush. State your purpose for inviting me."
Ye Fengxing exchanged a look with Assistant Qiu.
Assistant Qiu placed a proposal in front of Tang Yu.
It was a proposal for Ye Group's expansion of its funeral service companies to other cities.
Assistant Qiu said, "Recently, Xianfu Group plans to open a branch in Mingdu."
"Xianfu Group is currently in the process of acquiring funeral service companies within Mingdu to form a monopoly."
"Ye Group sincerely invites you to be the general manager of the funeral service companies under Ye Group. Furthermore, for any branch companies established under your management in the future, Ye Group will directly give you thirty percent of the shares."
"Mr. Ye's sole objective is Xianfu Group..."
Ye Fengxing's methods were quite effective.
He had actually thought of using Tang Yu, this disheartened individual, to deal with his own sister and Yan Jue.
However.
Tang Yu had been in the business world for many years; it wasn't so easy to manipulate him.
"Heh heh..."
Tang Yu suddenly chuckled.
"Mr. Ye, why do you think I would accept your olive branch and go against my own sister?"
"No matter what Xiao Min is like, she is still my sister. Her temper is extreme, and her actions are excessive, but we are still family. This is an unchangeable fact."
This statement hit the nail on the head.
In negotiations, whoever held the initiative held the advantage.
Facing Tang Yu's hesitation, Ye Fengxing was also decisive at this moment.
"Since you are unwilling, then please do not let the door hit you on the way out."
...
Ye Fengxing treated Tang Yu with a "call him when needed, dismiss him when not."
Without strength, suppressed to such a degree.
With Tang Yu's pride, he would never grovel at someone's door expecting favors.
Tang Yu said nothing, stood up, and walked away with a determined stride, never looking back.
Not long after he left, Assistant Qiu caught up to him and handed Tang Yu a business card.
"Young Master Tang, this is my business card. If you reconsider, feel free to call me anytime."
