Chapter 252: Too delicate
"The royal gemstone of Songs," Tang Li interrupted the man as she stood up. She recognized this box pretty well. When she decided to take over the Tang Corporation back then, her grandfather took out the same kind of box just with different patterns.
She did not want to take it at that time as the royal gemstone only represented more responsibilities and a higher position in the family.
Moreover, according to her, her elder brother, as the rightful heir should have the royal gemstone.
But Tang Yichen was stubborn and wilful regarding that matter.
Since Tang Li took over the responsibility of reviving the bankrupt Tang Corporation, she held the capability of handling the position and responsibility. Tang Yichen considered his sister to be a rightful heiress in every way.
Master Song nodded. He was not that surprised that she knew about it considering her maternal family, the Tangs.
"I want to hand this over to you, to the rightful heiress of Songs," Master song said to which Old Master Song also nodded.
Tang Li's brows bumped together as she glanced at Mo Yuhan who calmly stroked her back without voicing out his opinions.
But his actions were telling her, whatever she did, he will back her up in everything.
She sighed, "Brother is the eldest son," she said as she looked at the father-son duo before glancing at the box in Master Song's hand, "It should be handed over to him."
Before Master Song could speak, Old Master Song beat him to it, "You know your brother well, he is content with the evil and tricky entertainment industry. As for things like this, according to him, all should belong to his sister."
Tang Li raised an eyebrow, "Does that means he has already rejected it?" she asked doubtfully.
Old Master Song chuckled looking at her heavy expression.
If it was ancient times, the royal gemstone would be equal to that of crown and throne, giving the whole authority of the kingdom to a person.
Right now, the royal gemstone enabled a person the power of using all the manpower and taking any decision in royalty.
The siblings would plot and scheme against each other to no ends to acquire it. No one would consider the family or relationships when it came to bottomless wealth and power.
Yet here his grandchildren are wanting to push it to each other as if it was some hot potato.
Tang Li looked at the man confusedly as he laughed so hard. Did she ask something funny? She blinked.
Finally, the old man spoke up after calming himself down, "No but he would have surely rejected it."
Tang Li shrugged, "Who knows? You can give it a try, maybe," she said as she eyed the box as if it was some hot potato.
The royal red gemstone of Tangs which was handed to her in the shape of a ring was already more than enough for her. She did not want another one at all.
Master Song smiled at her, unlike his stony expressions, he had glimmers of warmth on his handsome face, "I want to give all my wealth to my daughter," he said.
Everyone: "_" You have a son too, you know?
Old Master Song snorted as he rolled his eyes at his son, "Why don't you say that you're just partial to your daughter? You even changed the shape of the gemstone so that Xiao Li would accept it," The old man ruthlessly exposed his son.
After Tang Meili left the house with his grandson, his son had almost gone into depression when he failed in searching for them but when he came to know of the existence of his daughter after a few years, the man couldn't be happier.
He prepared lots of gifts for all her birthdays, despite not being able to present them to her.
He loved his son but as a father, his biggest wish was to pamper his daughter to bits.
Later on, he even converted the royal gemstone to something more convenient and fashionable so that he would give it to his precious when they met.
"I'm not partial," Master Song grievously glared at his father, he felt embarrassed with his intent being exposed in this way.
"Huh...And pigs do fly. You don't want to give a cent of your wealth to your son. Your intention is written all over your face," Old Master Song scoffed.
"Why would I dote on him, though? He is a grown-up man. A man should be tough, not someone who requires protection," He indifferently said before looking back at his daughter, his cold face softened, "While, my princess, on the other hand, is delicate and weak, just like a flower. She needs all the protection in the world."
Mo Yuhan who was silent up to this point nodded his head, " Very delicate," he murmured, his facial expressions serious as usual.
Master Song glanced at his 'son-in-law', a slight appreciation flashed in his eyes, "Hm. It's good that you know it."
His impression of the man increased by +2.
Tang Li's face scrunched up as she pursed her lips while Old Master Song awkwardly glanced at his son and grandson-in-law. Delicate? Weak? He too had this same misunderstanding years ago until he got to know that she is the CEO of Ash Corporation.
Why would the people address a delicate flower as a demoness? His granddaughter was anything but weak.
"Actually, I wanted to hold a grand ceremony for this day but situations do not allow us to do as such.." Master Song softly said.
When his father had passed him the royal gem, the occasion was celebrated lavishly with all the proper rituals.
But despite being high-profile, the Song Family held up to their mysterious ways and only a few VIPs that were closely connected to the Song Family due to business or personal relationships were invited.
Tang Li shook her head, "It's fine this way," She knew there was no way that she could back out at this point since her elder brother and her were the only descendants of Songs.
There was nobody else in the younger generation or so what she thought.
