If it weren't for her extremely bad mood today, Tang Yi would have burst out laughing.
She stared at Zheng Zemin for a long time before quietly asking, "Then you won't dislike me, won't abandon me?"
Zheng Zemin assumed that Tang Yi was worried he would dislike her because of the photos taken of her as Yan Xi's body double.
Furthermore, the Mo family was also a wealthy and influential family, and they cared about appearances.
Therefore, Tang Yi said those words to Zheng Zemin.
Zheng Zemin looked at Tang Yi, smiled, and said, "Don't worry, I love you too much to dislike you. As for abandoning you, that's my concern. I hope the beautiful and generous student Tang Yi won't abandon her boyfriend, he's quite straightforward and a bit sensitive."
This time, Tang Yi couldn't help but laugh out loud, looking at Zheng Zemin.
Seeing Tang Yi smile, Zheng Zemin was relieved.
Staring at Tang Yi, Zheng Zemin suddenly became serious and asked, "Yi Yi, tell me, what exactly happened today?"
Tang Yi bit her lip, remained silent for a long time, and then said faintly, "I guess I'm not destined for wealthy families, nor for family affection."
Zheng Zemin heard the implied meaning in Tang Yi's words and softly asked, "What happened? Can you tell me?"
Tang Yi initially didn't want to talk about such a scandal, especially since it involved her mother.
And now that her mother was gone, Tang Yi didn't want her to rest in peace.
However, Zheng Zemin truly cared about Tang Yi and was worried about her, otherwise, he wouldn't have rushed over immediately after Tang Yi called him.
Thinking this, Tang Yi decided to tell Zheng Zemin what had happened.
Although it was difficult to speak of, Tang Yi needed an outlet.
So, Tang Yi told Zheng Zemin everything that had happened today.
After listening, Zheng Zemin embraced Tang Yi and said softly, "Good girl, as long as you don't mind my poverty, we can give up the Mo family's fortune. All my assets will be yours, I can support you."
Upon hearing Zheng Zemin's words, Tang Yi's tears finally welled up.
She had thought there was no family affection left in this world.
Now, Tang Yi realized that there was still warmth and humanity in this world.
Looking at Zheng Zemin, Tang Yi suddenly felt a warmth in her heart. The grievances she suffered at the Mo family today were gradually replaced by his gentleness under his comfort.
Just as they were embracing, Mr. Mo suddenly arrived. Seeing Zheng Zemin tightly holding Tang Yi, he felt as if his own cabbage had been molested by a pig.
And the pig was a wild one.
Mr. Mo couldn't control himself and asked coldly, "What are you doing?"
Hearing the voice, Tang Yi's body stiffened.
In fact, from Tang Yi's agreement to return to the old house with Mr. Mo today, it was evident that she valued this family connection, but they had disappointed her.
Zheng Zemin knew that Tang Yi wasn't scared.
Tang Yi just didn't know how to face Mr. Mo.
So, he gently patted Tang Yi's shoulder and whispered in her ear, "It's okay, I'll explain to him."
Tang Yi also didn't want to face Mr. Mo, so when Zheng Zemin said this, Tang Yi hesitated for a moment and then agreed.
Seeing how nervous Tang Yi was, Zheng Zemin teased, "Why are you so tense? Are you worried that if we fight, you won't know who to side with?"
Tang Yi didn't mean that at all.
But when Zheng Zemin said that, Tang Yi's face suddenly turned red, her shy appearance like a bride-to-be. Mr. Mo's eyes were deeply pained by this sight.
Mr. Mo walked towards Tang Yi.
However, before he could get close to Tang Yi, he was blocked by Zheng Zemin.
Although Mr. Mo was extremely angry, he was over fifty and understood maturity and composure. Even with his dissatisfaction, he wouldn't show it on the surface.
He looked at Zheng Zemin and asked calmly, "What is your relationship with Yi Yi?"
Mr. Mo had wanted to ask Zheng Zemin this question that morning when he saw him.
When he came to pick up Tang Yi this morning, he saw how reluctant Zheng Zemin was to let her go. Now, he came to explain things to Tang Yi and saw Zheng Zemin clinging to her.
Even though his daughter was excellent, and the Mo family was very wealthy, he didn't allow his daughter to date early.
And he definitely wouldn't allow just any random person to be matched with Tang Yi.
His daughter deserved the most outstanding man in the world.
Zheng Zemin seemed to have anticipated that Mr. Mo would ask him such a question.
He responded calmly and without arrogance, introducing his relationship with Tang Yi to Mr. Mo.
Mr. Mo frowned after listening, then asked, "How much money would it take for you to leave my daughter?"
Zheng Zemin knew that Mr. Mo didn't think highly of him, but he didn't expect Mr. Mo to be so blunt.
He looked up at Mr. Mo.
Mr. Mo smiled, but his smile was somewhat cold.
He said, "To be frank, you are not worthy of my daughter."
In fact, Zheng Zemin also wanted to say that Mr. Mo was not worthy of Tang Yi.
Even as her biological father, was he worthy of being Tang Yi's biological father?
Back then, he failed to protect Tang Yi's mother, which led to her being bullied.
And now, he also failed to protect Tang Yi, causing her to suffer so much injustice at the Mo family.
If he had shown any responsibility, Tang Yi and her mother wouldn't have endured such great hardships.
Therefore, in the morning, when he learned that he was Tang Yi's biological father and that Tang Yi still had some hope in him, Zheng Zemin greeted him with a smile.
But when Tang Yi cried in his arms, confiding her grievances, and Mr. Mo showed up, questioning his relationship with Tang Yi, and even claiming he wasn't good enough for Tang Yi, Zheng Zemin knew that this man looked down on him from the bottom of his heart.
And he no longer needed to consider Tang Yi's feelings and flatter this man.
So, Zheng Zemin smiled and said, "Whether we are worthy or not is for us to decide. From what angle and on what grounds are you questioning our relationship?"
"I am Yi Yi's father."
Mr. Mo added, "Her biological father."
"Since you are her biological father, where were you when she was being bullied? For all these years, when she needed you the most, where were you?"
Zheng Zemin paused, then said, "To be frank, you are not worthy of being Yi Yi's father either."
