Lian He looked somewhat dejected as he said, "Xiao Yue, as long as you like it."
This meal was rather awkward, with Tang Yue burying her head in her food.
Lian Qingyang kept talking, trying to lighten the mood. Lian He wanted to talk to Tang Yue, but couldn’t find a suitable topic.
"Dad, don’t you have investments in Wangjiang County?" Lian Qingyang hinted to Lian He with his eyes. It was not easy to coax Tang Yue out for this meal, if they couldn’t foster a good relationship, it would be troublesome the next time they wanted to eat together.
"Yes," said Lian He, without any hint of boasting, speaking as if he were talking to a friend, but with a careful tone of appeasement that made Tang Yue feel uncomfortable.
If Lian He had appeared in her past life, she definitely would have been very happy.
If it were her from her past life, would Lian He still cherish her as his daughter like he does now?
If...
Tang Yue thought of many things, and then Lian He’s voice rang out again: "Xianghe Jewelry has a lot of styles that would suit you. If you see anything you like, feel free to pick it out at the store, I’ve already spoken to the people there."
Xianghe Jewelry?
When Tang Yue heard this name, it sounded very familiar, but she couldn’t remember exactly what it was connected to.
Seeing that Tang Yue was silent, Lian He went on to talk more. The Lian Family had investments in Wangjiang County, not just in jewelry, but also in real estate.
"Also, five kilometers into the mountains of Wangjiang County, the forest is well-preserved. We plan to build a Huayue Forest Park there. By then, Wangjiang County will probably be quite different from before," Lian He continued, "When that happens, there will likely be a lot more people coming to Wangjiang County. Your mother has a restaurant there in a great location, and I believe the business will only get better and better."
"Huayue Forest Park?" Tang Yue mumbled the name to herself.
In her past life, Wangjiang County also had a forest park, but it wasn’t called ’Huayue’; it was called ’Wanghua’ Forest Park.
Wanghua, combining the ’Hua’ from Wangjiang County and Zhang Hualian?
The thought made Tang Yue’s heart skip a beat.
"Yes, it’s named after your mother and you. I thought about it a lot, and none sounded better than Huayue," seeing her pleased, Lian He was encouraged, his face broke into a bigger smile, "Xiao Yue, I know it’s a bit late to say all this, but back then..."
Lian He paused, then said, "You can call me useless or scold me. It was my fault back then for not returning to find your mother and for not knowing about your existence. But now, please give me a chance to make amends."
"I’m not a good father, and maybe me appearing now is too late, almost unnecessary, but I really want to fulfill a father’s duty." Lian He’s regret was clear in his eyes as he sincerely added, "You can be angry at me, scold me, you may not forgive me, but please give me a chance to make it up."
"I..." Tang Yue’s mind was a mess, she suddenly stood up and said, "Lian..."
Seeing Lian He’s paternal and remorseful appearance, Tang Yue’s heart softened, she said softly, "Actually, you don’t have to do this; you have Qingyang and others, you are already very happy."
"No, I can’t just let go knowing that you are my daughter," Lian He said earnestly.
Tang Yue turned around and said, "Mr. Lian, I wish you a safe journey tomorrow."
With that, Tang Yue left with brisk steps.
Lian Qingyang clapped his hands and said, "Dad, that’s progress, Sister Xiao Yue’s heart has softened."
