Chapter 297: She’s a Miss of the Ye Family?!
“How… how could this happen?” Tang Jie’er was shocked. Her father actually knew about the project’s problems!
Because she wanted to build connections within the Tang Group, she believed a certain director’s suggestion and chose Cui’s Construction during the bidding. This single misstep led to a cascade of errors, ultimately damaging the Tang family’s Earth Vein!
“Dad… Father!” Tang Jie’er, in her panic, suddenly thought, “There’s… there’s still a way! Lu Ziyi has new drawings, we have new drawings! Lu Ziyi modified them!”
“It’s useless, Jie’er,” Tang Hong sighed mournfully. “At the end of the project, it requires Lu Ziyi’s touch; no one else can replace him! Lu Ziyi will not help the Tang Group again. Even if the new building is completed, it will be a dragon without eyes. Perhaps this is fate, the destiny of our Tang family!”
“Why do we have to leave Y City?” Tang Jie’er felt an extreme sense of frustration for the first time. “Our Tang family’s foundation is here! Why must we leave? Is there no land suitable for our Tang family anymore?”
“Jie’er, if Lu Xuanyu alone decides to hold us accountable, we wouldn’t be able to cope. Him coming to us in person is already the greatest mercy. Otherwise, with our Tang family declining so severely with no discernible cause, we would lose everything when the time comes. Moreover, the Ye Family is also here. If they push us into a corner, where would our Tang family have a place to stand in Y City?”
Tang Jie’er was unconvinced: “Because Lu Xuanyu is the Chief Consultant of Maoshen Group, will Ye Baiyu really help the Lu family get revenge?”
“It’s not because of Lu Xuanyu,” Tang Hong’s heart had already grown cold. “It’s because of Xiaoxiao.”
Tang Jie’er’s eyes suddenly widened: “Ye, Ye, Ye Chuxiao?! She’s from the Ye Family?”
“Yes,” Tang Hong nodded heavily. “Xiaoxiao’s Father, Ye Jiuli, is the eldest son of the ‘Jiu’ generation in the Ye Family.”
“No! No…” Tang Jie’er couldn’t believe it. “How could… how could she be… from the Ye Family?”
Ye Chuxiao, apart from being a bit pretty, seemed no different from an ordinary girl. She ate in the cafeteria, slept in the dormitory, took the bus, and was Lu Ziyi’s assistant, just doing odd jobs. How could she be a child from a renowned family?
Tang Jie’er’s face was now ashen, her voice becoming ethereal: “Father, are… are we… is our Tang family really going to leave Y City?”
“Yes!” Tang Hong nodded heavily. “It’s already showing leniency that the Lu Family and Ye Family are letting us leave now.”
Tang Jie’er suddenly felt weak and collapsed at her father’s feet. Due to the sudden chill, she couldn’t help but tremble. This was all her fault! She had ruined the Tang Group, ruined the Tang family, and ruined her father’s hard work for most of his life! Leaving Y City meant starting everything from scratch. She herself would no longer be that proud princess of a wealthy family!
Tang Jie’er slumped onto the sofa powerlessly and began to cry.
Given such a serious incident, Tang Hong did not scold his daughter. He simply gently stroked her soft hair and patted her heaving shoulders.
After a long while, Tang Jie’er stopped crying, but the bleak future ahead left her gaze hollow.
Tang Hong spoke slowly and earnestly: “Jie’er, have you ever considered living a life and starting a business with a peaceful mindset one day? Like the Lu Family and the Ye Family? They actually possess more than us, yet they can still uphold a peaceful, true heart. What right do we have to be so arrogant?”
