Chapter 911: Chapter 142: Rong Sinan, Can You Be Even More Outrageous? (Update 3)

Tang Yige closed her eyes, took another deep breath, turned her chair, stopped in front of the work desk, and leaned over to pick up her phone.

Her gaze lightly swept across the phone screen before placing the phone to her ear, "Mom."

Whether it was due to Zhou Xueran’s heartfelt words to her at her and Lei Yicheng’s wedding, or something else.

Tang Yige changed her phone number this time and did not hide it from Zhou Xueran, giving her her number.

"Yige, are you busy?" Zhou Xueran began.

"..." Tang Yige discerned the uneasiness in her tone the moment she spoke.

She sat up slightly straight, pressing lightly on her brows, "Is something wrong?"

"...Can you come home now?" Zhou Xueran’s tone carried a plea.

"Mom, did something happen?" Tang Yige inquired.

"You, come over first, alright?" Zhou Xueran said, her voice choking with emotion.

Tang Yige tightened her grip on the phone, "Okay, I’ll be there right away."

After finished speaking, Tang Yige hung up the call.

She sat in the chair for a few seconds, then got up with her phone, heading downstairs.

At this time.

Si Nan had already cleaned up and came out of the kitchen, now sitting on the sofa with Rong Rui, at opposite ends of the "Chu River."

Rong Rui sat with his arms crossed, staring sternly and accusingly at Si Nan with a little face.

Si Nan’s eyebrows and eyes were filled with a smile, like a gentle spring breeze.

Rong Rui indicated he was almost infuriated!

Never seen such an arrogant "rival in love"! (Ahem, as if he’s had many rivals in the past.)

Upon hearing the footsteps coming downstairs, Rong Rui and Si Nan immediately entered a mutual "staring" mode, both looking at Tang Yige who was coming down from upstairs.

Tang Yige’s expression was somewhat heavy.

Reaching downstairs, Tang Yige glanced at Rong Rui and spoke to Si Nan, "I have to go out now, Aunt Zhang is not home, can you take care of Little Rui for a short while? I’ll be back soon, it won’t take much of your time."

"Where are you going?" Si Nan got up from the sofa, asking with curiosity.

"...Back to the Tang Family." Tang Yige did not hide it and told the truth.

Upon hearing this, Si Nan stared intently into Tang Yige’s eyes, "Is something wrong?"

"I think so."

Tang Yige said, walking towards Rong Rui, lowered her head to kiss his little cheek softly, saying tenderly, "I’ll be back soon, wait for me."

Tang Yige said, walking towards Rong Rui, lowered her head to kiss his little cheek softly, saying tenderly, "I’ll be back soon, wait for me."

"I want to go with you." Rong Rui caught hold of the hem of Tang Yige’s clothes, saying.

"Next time, okay?" Tang Yige gently stroked Little Rui’s head, then gently pulled away his little hand holding her clothes, glanced at Si Nan, and said no more, picking up the bag on the side of the sofa, she headed for the door.

"Yiyi."

Tang Yige turned back.

"Here you go!"

Si Nan tossed something over to her.

Tang Yige instinctively reached out to catch it, and as it landed in her palm, she realized he had thrown her a set of car keys.

Tang Yige pursed her lips, looking at Si Nan.

Si Nan smiled warmly, "Go on."

Tang Yige’s eyes flickered, not being melodramatic at this moment, she took his car keys and went out the door.

...

Tang Yige drove Si Nan’s Bentley back to the Tang Family, parked the car in the roadside parking area, got out, and walked towards the Tang Family house.

Because the outermost iron gate was password-protected, Tang Yige tried the password, but after entering it, it indicated the password was incorrect.

Tang Yige furrowed her brows lightly.

When did they change the password?

She remembered last time when she came with Lei Yicheng, the password was still the same.

Although Tang Yige was doubtful, she didn’t think too deeply about it.

She reached out and pressed the doorbell, standing in the area where surveillance could capture her after pressing it.

Squeak—

In no time, the iron gate opened from the inside.

Tang Yige glanced at the surveillance, pursed her lips, and walked in.

Tang Yige followed the stone steps up, and when she reached the door, Zhou Xueran was already standing at the entrance eagerly looking at her, "Yige, come, quickly come in."

Tang Yige nodded and stepped in.

"Mom got you new slippers, put them on."

Zhou Xueran said, squatting in front of Yige, placing the slippers by her feet, and reached out to grasp Yige’s ankle, seemingly wanting to help her with the slippers.

"Mom, there’s no need, I can do it myself."

Tang Yige stepped back, took off her shoes, and changed into the slippers.

Zhou Xueran placed the shoes that Tang Yige took off to the side, then stood up and led Yige by the hand further into the house.

Tang Yige looked at their intertwined hands, said nothing, and followed her inside.

Upon reaching the living room, Tang Yige raised her eyes to look at Tang Yuwen, who was sitting on the sofa, her lashes fluttered downwards as she said, "Dad."

"Hmm." Tang Yuwen held his posture and nodded.

Tang Yige pressed her lips together and looked at Zhou Xueran.

Zhou Xueran smiled at her and, holding her hand, they sat together on the sofa opposite Tang Yuwen.

"Mom, you called me over so urgently, what’s the matter?" Tang Yige asked directly.

Zhou Xueran’s grip on Tang Yige’s hand tightened unconsciously, as tears slowly welled up in her eyes, reflecting sorrow.

Tang Yige noticed this, her brow twitched slightly, and she reversed her grip on Zhou Xueran’s hand, "Mom, what’s wrong?"

Tang Yuwen watched Zhou Xueran with tightly furrowed brows.

"Yige, only now has Mom realized how much you suffered during those years away," Zhou Xueran said sadly.

"..." Tang Yige’s face flushed slightly, and she looked at Zhou Xueran without speaking.

"Yige, I’m sorry, I truly am. I wasn’t a competent mother, allowing my daughter to endure such hardships. Just thinking about what you’ve been through feels like a knife cutting into my heart." Zhou Xueran’s voice was hoarse, tears streaming down her face.

Tang Yige looked at Zhou Xueran’s tear-streaked face, her throat choked up, and she slowly managed to say, "It’s all in the past."

Zhou Xueran held Tang Yige’s arm with one hand, and gently stroked Yige’s face, tears falling as she said, "Child, you have suffered."

Tang Yige shook her head.

Heaven had returned Little Rui to her, and the hardships she endured before were nothing.

Now, all she wanted was to be with Little Rui every day, watching him grow, marry, and have children.

If Little Rui married young, she might even be fortunate enough to see his future children...

That would be enough!

"Yige..." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"Enough! Let’s get to the point! What’s the point of all this weeping in front of our daughter?" Tang Yuwen interrupted Zhou Xueran harshly.

Zhou Xueran closed her mouth, her face white as paper, looking at Tang Yige but not daring to speak further.

Tang Yige felt a pang in her heart and looked at Tang Yuwen.

She wasn’t exactly disappointed, but she felt numb toward Tang Yuwen.

It had been like this all her life.

When in a good mood, everything was fine, but when not, even drinking water in front of him felt like committing a crime worthy of death!

In Yige’s memory,

Tang Yuwen wasn’t always unkind or uncaring.

But those memories were too distant and blurred in her mind.

Tang Yuwen met Yige’s calm eyes, his expression serious, and he squinted, saying, "What’s past is past, don’t dwell on it. After all, we’re a family."

Zhou Xueran, subdued, hung her head, silently shedding tears.

Tang Yige remained expressionless, "Dad, you’re not one to beat around the bush. Just say what you mean. Don’t worry about me not being able to handle it; I’ve already faced plenty of hard truths."

"Heh." Tang Yuwen sneered, "Yige, you’ve grown capable now, and can afford to disregard others. But don’t forget one thing, you’re my daughter. Without me, there wouldn’t be you."

"Yes." Tang Yige nodded, "If I forgot that, I wouldn’t even call you Dad."

"Sharp-tongued!" Tang Yuwen snapped.

Tang Yige looked at him expressionless, "Is it time to discuss the real issue now?"

Tang Yuwen’s eyes flashed, his body straightened instinctively, and he squinted at Yige, "We already know those things were done by your sister Tang Ruan. So what do you plan to do about it?"

At the mention of Tang Ruan, a cold fire appeared in Tang Yige’s eyes as she stared at Tang Yuwen, "Which things are you referring to?"

Tang Yuwen frowned, "Tang Yige, do you have to speak so sarcastically? I’m your father, not your enemy!"

"Think I’m being sarcastic? Fine, I can stop," Tang Yige narrowed her eyes, "But I will never forgive Tang Ruan, nor will I let her off!"

Tang Yige’s voice was soft, but each word dripped with intense hatred.

Zhou Xueran felt a sharp pain in her heart, tears fell fiercely.

Tang Yuwen’s back shuddered as he watched Tang Yige.
