That’s why she said that the relationship between her and her father was very complicated. This father-daughter relationship wasn’t maintained by affection. She felt that there wasn’t much affection between the two of them. They were all relying on social morality to maintain a basic level of courtesy.
She didn’t love her father, but because of the moral sense in her heart, she would still shed a few tears at his funeral in the future and show a hint of sadness.
She believed that Tang Zhengfeng didn’t love her much either. Her existence held more significance for him because of Yang Qing’s presence. She was a bond that spanned between the two of them. Because of her existence, Yang Qing wouldn’t forget that there was a person named Tang Zhengfeng.
From a very young age, Tang Man had this realization. While feeling the love from her maternal grandparents, she would often feel disgusted by her own identity. Later, she gradually compromised with herself because she discovered that her existence or non-existence wouldn’t change some of Madam Yang’s decisions.
Tang Man lowered her eyelids and didn’t answer the question from Tang Zhengfeng on the bed. This attitude almost explained everything.
So, after a moment of silence, Tang Zhengfeng spoke again, “In a few days, I will arrange a meeting between you and Qin Yu. You should also settle your heart.”
Upon hearing this, Xie Li abruptly looked at the person speaking on the bed, while his hands couldn’t help but clench into fists in secret.
Tang Man laughed, “When I was fifteen, you controlled my life through confinement. Now, you are trying to control my life by controlling my marriage. Dad, after so many years, how come you haven’t changed at all?”
“You and Yang Qing broke up more than twenty years ago. Even the calendar has become old, yet you’re still obsessed with your own memories. Haven’t you seen that my mother doesn’t even want to see you now? Otherwise, why do you think she agreed to go to Germany with that man back then without much thought?”
After saying that, Tang Man stood up and was about to leave. However, before her hand could touch the door, she heard the person behind her say, “If you dare to walk out of this room, I will call the company’s lawyer here today and change my will. You won’t get a single penny.”
Tang Man stopped in her tracks. Originally, she didn’t have much anger in her heart. Regarding the entanglement between Tang Zhengfeng and Yang Qing for so many years, she was like a bystander, treating it as a spectacle. Only when it involved herself would she experience a slight psychological change. So, upon hearing Tang Zhengfeng’s words, the last bit of anger in her heart disappeared.
All these years, she had maintained a bit of filial piety towards Tang Zhengfeng, which was nothing more than the shares and assets in his hands. Tang Zhengfeng also knew this, so he was fearless. Even if he didn’t know at first, after so many years, an old fox like Tang Zhengfeng couldn’t possibly have no idea about his own daughter’s temperament.
It wasn’t entirely true that Tang Man didn’t resemble him. In some aspects, they were thoroughly father and daughter.
Affectionate yet heartless.
So, Tang Man took a step back and turned to look at Tang Zhengfeng on the bed. After thinking for a moment, she earnestly made a suggestion.
“Dad, I think you can actually choose a different person to be your son-in-law. Qin Yu is obviously unsuitable. You know very well that the second young master of the Qin family has all the vices except for drug addiction. There are a bunch of women at the door of the Qin family claiming to be pregnant with his illegitimate grandchild. If we get engaged, you’ll probably gain several grandchildren of unknown origin.”
Tang Man estimated that Tang Zhengfeng might not necessarily want her to go on a blind date with Qin Yu. After all, although Tang Zhengfeng didn’t have much affection for her, most of the time, he was still responsible. After all, she was his own child, and he couldn’t possibly push her into a dung heap.
Sure enough, as soon as Tang Man’s words were spoken and her soft stance came out, Tang Zhengfeng’s expression eased.
Tang Man then continued, trying to steer Tang Zhengfeng’s thoughts back, “Besides, Dad, you also know that I have no business acumen. If we marry into the Qin family, aren’t you afraid that the Tang family will directly change its surname to Qin after a hundred years?”
Tang Zhengfeng sneered, “I think it’s more likely that Qin will change their surname to Tang.”
Don’t think he didn’t know that after meeting Tang Man once, the son of the Qin family had chased after her, claiming to have turned over a new leaf and would never go to nightclubs or casinos again.
The Qin family was quite happy and had mentioned the idea of a marriage alliance to him more than once. However, later on, Tang Man found the Qin family’s kid too annoying. Disregarding the friendship between the two families, she directly made a phone call to the police station, reporting that she was being sexually harassed. The Qin family had to put in a lot of effort to bail their son out. To this day, the Qin family matriarch didn’t have a good face whenever she saw him.
His expression softened, “Your mother is getting old now. She’s probably at the age where she wants grandchildren, so she wants to get married. You should go and accompany your mother more often. Don’t run around outside all day, not even for a single day.”
This was purely nonsense. Madam Yang’s appearance didn’t resemble an elderly person. If she went out and dressed a bit younger, she would only look around thirty.
Tang Zhengfeng couldn’t hear Tang Man’s inner complaints and continued to speak with disdain, “Also, cut off all those men outside. Move back home in a few days.”
He looked down on all the boyfriends Tang Man had outside. It was fine to play around with them outside, but bringing them home was definitely not acceptable. They couldn’t pass his approval.
Tang Man couldn’t accept this. “What’s wrong with the boyfriends I have? Which one of them doesn’t come from a decent family? How come in your mouth, they are all so indecent?”
Tang Zhengfeng ignored Tang Man and looked at Xie Li, instructing, “Xie Li, send one or two people over to help her move her things in the next few days. Try to arrange everything within these two days.”
Seeing this scene, Tang Man couldn’t help but make a sarcastic remark. The words slipped out before she could think, “Dad, you might as well make Assistant Xie your son-in-law. Company affairs, family affairs, he takes care of everything for you. Where else can you find someone who uses their subordinates like this? Your subordinates have no personal space at all.”
During this period, Xie Li’s relationship with her was not very good. They hadn’t spoken much. Tang Man’s words even had a hint of trying to please him.
