From Dusk till Dawn!

"Do you hate your father?" Old Master Song asked.

"No," she said resolutely.

Old Master Song raised an eyebrow and curiosity got the best of him as he asked "Why don't you hate him if he was not with you in your difficult times?"

"Why should I hate him when I don't even know him? The woman whom I and my brother called 'mother' has hidden countless things from us. Then, is it not possible that she has intentionally hidden us from our father? So, why would I blame him when I'm not even sure what was my mother upto? I don't have the right to blame him lest he has wronged my mother or us," she calmly expressed her opinion. She would have never said about all this to any strangers. But the Songs had already investigated her to this point. So, what was the point of lying when they can see through it. It would only make her appear as a fool. She decided to tell them. Though, she could feel that they have no ill-intention but even if they plot something, she was always ready to face it head on. Will she admit defeat? Never in her entire life!

Furthermore, what she said was right. She didn't blame her father, atleast not until now when she has nothing against him. She has not spent much time with her mother yet she was close to her. There were some hazy memories in her mind when her mother used to call her 'Kara' and smile at her. Despite that, a fact she has always known was that her mother was never honest to them.

After some investigations, Tang Li had an inkling of the situation. She didn't care about her mother's private life but that doesn't means her mother had the right to play with Tang Corps. Being the heiress of Tangs, she had responsibility to manage the business well. But what did she do? She lied to their grandpa again and again and they were the ones who suffered because of her silly decisions. Being kind is one thing and choosing to be naive is other. Her mother chose to be naive. She could see the facts but won't accept it. Her IQ was exceptionally high but her own naivety made her a fool in life.

Whatever it is, she was sure that her mother has kept many secrets from them. So, what right does she have to blame the man who gave birth to them when her mother has always lied her entire life!

Song Tianyu and Old Master Song were stunned by what they heard. They expected her to resent her father. But never in their wildest dreams had they thought that she would be so rational and smart even when faced with a dreadful past.

The pressure failed to crush her and the darkness failed to dim her light as she shined brighter than ever with a gloss. She became the priceless diamond !

She was always a diamond. It just took some hardships for her to shine.

Old Master Song's heart was aching terribly when he saw the girl infront of him. With one look at her, he could say that she has suffered a lot to get to where she is today.

Song Tianyu clenched his fists as the rims of his eyes reddened. His chest was feeling stuffy leaving him suffocated.

The little girl who was supposed to be spoiled rotten has grown to be so strong and independent that it made their heart ache from extreme pain.

The princess who was meant to be pampered to the extent of walking on flowers had to face all the thorns of life.

After she finished talking, Tang Li raised her head as she looked at both the men who were immersed in their thoughts. She frowned when she saw Old Master Song's trembling hands. She grabbed his hand as she slightly shook him "Grandpa Song, are you all right?"

The old man woke from his trance as he said "Xiao Li, you are my....."

"Do you want anything, little girl?" Song Tianyu interrupted as he gave his father a 'this is for her own good' look.

Tang Li shook her head.

Old Master Song sighed as he quickly corrected himself "You are my granddaughter now so if anyone bullies you, you should come to me. I'll teach them a lesson. Alright?"

Warmth gushed in her heart as she slowly nodded her head. Though she wanted to ask many like why they investigated her and her brother but it will be an utter disrespect. Thus, she decided to ask that randomly someday so that they would not mind.

She was never dependant on anyone but yet it will always feel good to know that there are some people behind to catch you when you fall. It feels good when you know someone cares for you.

Tang Li felt thirsty suddenly "Can I have some water?"

Song Tianyu nodded as he immediately made a call.

Inside the Presidential Suite, the three of them talked merrily like a family.

But outside, the scene was completely different as someone was burning with jealousy and rage. Why? Why did that woman get so much importance despite her being a slut who is just good at seducing men?

Just then, she saw a waiter holding a tray with a glass of water and two glasses of red wine walking towards the golden door.

Meng Zhilan's eyes flashed with a malicious intent as she stared at the glass of water. With her continuous observation, she has noticed that Tang Li was not even touching alcohol. From the moment she entered, she had only taken a few sips of cocktail or water.

Furthermore, after Mo Zihan left, Tang Li didn't touch any drinks. And Meng Zhilan has noticed it well. Finally, she got the chance to teach that bitch a lesson.

She grabbed the waiter's hand and dragged him towards a corner as she lifted her purse and opened it, slightly shaking it infront of the waiter.

The waiter's eyes shone upon seeing gold cards and lots of money in it. So, he followed her like a dog. Meng Zhilan inwardly smirked in victory when she saw his reaction 'Hehe...There is nothing that I cannot do.'
