Chapter 304 Finale

"father?"

Tang Qiyue was somewhat shocked to see her father appear before her.

She never expected that after so many years, her elderly father would not only be alive and well, but more importantly, he would be able to get the first batch of opportunities to visit the island.

It seems the Tang family isn't as weak as she thought.

"What's wrong? Are you shocked to see the old man?"

Tang's father snorted coldly. The man, whose hair was already completely white, stood in front of Tang Qiyue with a cane, trying his best to put on an air of "I'm here, what can you do to me?"

Tang Qiyue wasn't afraid of her father's appearance; she was just curious about what he had sacrificed to qualify.

Fortunately, this time Tang's father was not accompanied by his stepmother or any of his sons; instead, Tang Chunlan, who had gone to pick him up, came along.

Tang Chunlan silently explained to Tang Qiyue, "He came by himself!"

Tang Qiyue was surprised that her father could come alone.

"A few years ago, your aunt came to my house and scolded me. I knew it was you, your unfilial daughter, who caused this!"

Tang's father didn't stand on ceremony with Tang Qiyue and found a stool in the courtyard to sit down.

At his age, he doesn't want to work hard; he'd rather live one more day than anything else.

"Dad, can't you speak properly? How old are you?"

Tang Chunlan couldn't bear to listen anymore. Thanks to Tang Qiyue's intervention, her life had been smooth sailing these past few years. Apart from not having any biological children, everything else was going very well.

She has put aside all the little schemes she had when she was young. Now she really doesn't dare to offend Tang Qiyue, for fear that Tang Qiyue and Zhan Zeye will dislike her, and then she will really have no good days.

If Tang's father hadn't come first, she would never have agreed to let him come to the island.

Tang's father still loved his daughter Tang Chunlan more, so when he heard her throwing a tantrum, he didn't insist.

"I know you're curious about how I got a spot. As your biological father, I'm qualified for one!"

Tang's father was very proud.

Tang Qiyue clearly disliked his presence, but because she couldn't sever their blood ties, he benefited from it.

What he didn't say was how much he had sacrificed to get that spot.

That was something the Tang family had treasured for a long time, but because he was too curious, he wanted to come here before he died to see what was so special about this place that so many people cared about.

But when he actually got off the ship and stood on the island, he was nothing but shocked.

Everything on this island was beyond his expectations, and many things were beyond his comprehension.

Whether it flies in the sky, swims in the sea, or is just something you can see, it's all unreal. They say there are fairy mountains overseas.

He thought it was probably nothing special.

Dreamy and magical.

This is his definition of an island.

On the island, everyone's face radiated a confident and carefree smile. They were healthy and enthusiastic, and their powerful armor impressed him.

It was even more shocking than when he went abroad years earlier.

He knew that one of the people in charge of this island was Zhan Zeyi, who was also his son-in-law whom he had bet on, and that his daughter, whom he had looked down on, was actually far more capable than he had imagined.

It would be a lie to say that we weren't affected.

The father and his two daughters had nothing to talk about. Tang's father originally had many questions, but after seeing Tang Qiyue, he couldn't bring himself to ask any of them.

Upon seeing his three grandsons, he became even more silent.

Of course, Tang's mother also came over during this time. She wasn't there for Tang's father, but simply because her youngest daughter had run off and didn't know where she was going, so she came to check on her. The reunion of this couple from many years ago didn't create a tense atmosphere; on the contrary, it was quite harmonious.

Tang's mother clicked her tongue when she saw Tang's father's gray hair: "I thought we might meet again underground, but I never expected it to be while he's still alive!"

It's no wonder Tang's mother was being sarcastic; she genuinely looked down on Tang's father.

Mr. Tang smiled bitterly: "Even if we can't be husband and wife, we still have two children to rely on, right? You wouldn't wish me to die young, would you?"

Tang's mother was speechless: "How old are you? Even if you kick the bucket now, it's not like you died young!"

Tang's father: ...

That seems to be the truth.

I've forgotten my age.

Seeing that her mother was dealing with her father, Tang Qiyue didn't want to get involved and gave up the space.

Tang Chunlan followed her out. "I can't believe it's been ten years. Looking back, was I too naive back then?"

Tang Qiyue was too lazy to pay attention to her.

"Let me tell you, I'm not still hung up on Zhan Zeye. I gave up on that idea a long time ago. In fact, even if he hadn't been injured back then, I still wouldn't have married him!"

After many years, Tang Chunlan finally spoke her mind.

“I’ve always preferred men with a scholarly air, but Zhan Zeyi is too barbaric. Only you could put up with him. Even if I hadn’t run away from my arranged marriage and married him, it would have ended in divorce!”

Tang Chunlan sincerely brought up this topic.

"Although I made a lot of foolish mistakes and was punished later, I'm doing quite well now because of you. I won't act recklessly anymore!"

Tang Qiyue didn't think today was a day for sisters to have a heart-to-heart talk.

He reminded her, "I remember the research institute is closed for the next few days. Are you really going to waste your time here talking nonsense instead of going back and keeping an eye on things? If I remember correctly, your husband's ex-wife has also applied to come and visit, right?"

These words reminded Tang Chunlan.

She had worked so hard to maintain the relationship between her stepsons, and if it were to be disrupted by the appearance of a biological mother, she would definitely go crazy.

She took off running, reminding Tang Qiyue as she left, "Tell Dad I'm going back, and tell him to come to my house later!"

Although Tang's father couldn't do anything about it, he was still an elder, and if he went to her home, it would surely make Tang Chunlan's husband consider her more.

With the troublesome presence gone, Tang Qiyue prepared to go out and take a look.

Zhan Zeyi was busy. Most of the first guests he received on the island were family members of the islanders, which was a kind of perk.

However, Zhan Zeye was receiving someone who could decide the fate of the island.

Tang Qiyue was about to go find Zheng Hongxia to learn more, but was called away by her uncle and Uncle Wang halfway there, who said they would help her think of a menu.

The guests were too high-ranking, and they didn't know how to arrange things for them.

Tang Qiyue, who had already ordered the menu, still couldn't leave because Zhan Zeye had someone call her over.

Seeing the old leader and the elderly people accompanied by Zhan Zeye, Tang Qiyue couldn't help but feel emotional.

Even though I've seen it countless times in newspapers, this is the first time I've seen it in person.

Before Tang Qiyue could speak, the old man, with a cigarette still between his fingers, waved to her.

She was kind and gentle, completely different from the arrogant old man in her family.

"Comrade Tang, you've given me a huge surprise in the past ten years!"

The voice, spoken with a unique local accent, doesn't feel oppressive when it comes from an elderly person; instead, it evokes a very comfortable and touching feeling.
