My wife is in my arms

Chapter 990 Father
"Zhang Youyong showed everyone what it means to have the aura of a superstar through a single concert."

"Zhang Youwei's Fans' Fulfillment"

"A Phenomenal Concert"

"The Most Touching Concert"

As the concert concluded last night, various headlines appeared on the trending topics list, and news about Tang Nian was also made public, along with the news that she had passed away shortly after the concert.

May you rest in peace.

"Zhang Youcai is the real star."

"The last song of the concert, 'Autumn,' was written by a girl named Tang Nian. She was a very talented girl, and it's a pity that she left us like this."

"This fan is very lucky; she met an idol like Zhang You."

"What is a star? It's an ordinary person who does extraordinary things."

"Tang Nian, life is full of suffering. I hope you won't come back again."

"Only twenty years old, it's a real pity."

"It is said that Zhang You not only paid off the debts Tang Nian's parents incurred for her medical treatment, but also donated all the proceeds from this concert."

soon.

A highly reputable charity issued a statement thanking Zhang You, which directly confirmed that Zhang You did indeed donate the proceeds from the concert, totaling more than 60 million yuan.

Once the figures were released, some praised Zhang You for his righteousness, while others expressed doubts about the numbers. However, a top-tier rich second-generation in the industry who had previously publicly criticized the high ticket prices for singer Liu Fei's concert spoke up for Zhang You.

"What's there to question? They don't have to pay venue fees, short video platform commissions, or taxes! If Zhang You really wanted this money, he wouldn't have donated it at all."

This person is very popular in the industry, especially for criticizing others. As soon as he speaks out, the doubts immediately disappear.

That's just how society is; no matter how good something is done, there will always be people who question its authenticity.

And shortly after this rich second-generation posted his comment.

Someone below noticed and asked, "Did your dad go see it too?!"

"I saw it; she's still a fan of Zhang You."

Unexpectedly, this rich kid actually replied.

Besides these, many viewers also speculated about the identities of the two girls who appeared on stage, and it is already public knowledge that Zhang You and Jiang Yiren have a daughter.

The two were not secretly married.

"The girl who performed 'The Street Where the Wind Dwells' with Zhang You is Zhang You's young apprentice, and the one who came on stage later in a long black dress is his daughter, she's very pretty."

"Zhang You isn't planning to release the song 'Autumn.' If he had, I would definitely have bought it."

......

Another city.

Li Chenggong noticed that his wife's expression was a little strange, so he immediately went over and asked, "What's wrong?!"

"A netizen posted a picture of a girl named Li Ran performing at Zhang You's concert."

The woman, who looked somewhat like a wealthy woman, spoke up.

"..."

Upon hearing the name "Li Ran," Li Chenggong's expression stiffened. This was the daughter he had with his ex-wife. Shortly after her birth, he and his ex-wife divorced. Later, when he went out to work, he entrusted Li Ran to her aunt's care.

Not long after, he met his current wife, and so... Li Ran became a real burden. Fortunately, his sister took care of him. A few months ago, she suddenly came to him and asked him to sign some kind of agreement to give up custody.

He signed without hesitation, feeling a sense of relief wash over him as he did so. After all, he now had a wife and children. Seeing her husband hesitate, the woman's eyes flickered before she spoke, "Call your sister and ask if this Li Ran is your daughter. If she is..."

The woman didn't say anything more. She seemed a little undecided as well.

After a moment's hesitation, she finally said, "If so, I'll take custody."

"This……"

Li Chenggong was taken aback.

"Do whatever I tell you to do."

The woman said coldly.

"Oh"

Li Chenggong didn't have much status in this family, mainly because his later wife's family was relatively wealthy. As a poor and unattractive man, he naturally couldn't show off his male chauvinism like other men.

Just like society, families need money to build them up.

The more money one has, the higher one's social status, and correspondingly, the higher one's status at home. Under the watchful eye of his wife, Li Chenggong took out his phone, found his sister's number, and dialed it.

The phone rang several times before Li Xin's voice came through.

"Little sister..."

Li Chenggong had barely uttered a sound when Li Xin on the phone interrupted him, saying, "Don't call me that. A heartless wretch like you doesn't have a little sister."

"I……"

Li Chenggong was speechless for a long time after being retorted by his younger sister. Seeing her husband's expression, the woman gave him a cold look, took the phone from his hand, and said with a smile, "Li Xin, I'm your sister-in-law. I know you're unhappy with your brother's behavior, but blood is thicker than water. No matter how estranged you are, the fact that you're siblings can't be hidden."

I don't want to listen to you either.

Li Xin showed no respect to her sister-in-law, saying, "If you have something to say, say it. If not, just live your lives. Li Ran and I won't bother your family, and you shouldn't bother us either."

"Li Xin, don't forget that your older brother is Li Ran's biological father."

The woman wasn't angry at all; instead, she continued to smile and ask, "By the way, wasn't the pianist on Zhang You's concert stage your niece?!"

"Does this have anything to do with you?!"

Li Xin replied, "I know what you two are thinking, but let me tell you, once the custody transfer agreement is signed, Li Ran and Li Chenggong will have absolutely no relationship."

"How could it not be related, Li Xin? This is what I was thinking: if you have time, bring Li Ran over to stay for a few days. Her younger brother and sister also want to get to know their older sister better."

I have some ideas.

It's not appropriate to show it yet, but from her husband's sister's words, she knows that Li Ran really is Zhang You's apprentice. If that's the case... then that's great.

"no need"

Li Xin refused outright.

“If you don’t have time to bring Li Ran over, I can go see her with your older brother. She’s always missing her father…”

Before the woman could finish speaking, Li Xin interrupted her, saying, "She doesn't have a father. Alright, you don't need to say so much. Didn't we already agree last time that we'd be complete strangers from now on?"

As she spoke, Li Xin's tone grew colder, saying, "And... let me remind you and Li Chenggong, don't even think about things that are impossible. I know very well what kind of people you and Li Chenggong are. In this society, when people who haven't been in contact for years suddenly reach out, it's either to ask for your help or to borrow money. They all want to get something out of you. You can make a scene, you can even sue, but the final price won't be something you can afford to bear."

"Your older brother is Li Ran's father."

The woman was also getting a little angry, she said.

"You're asking whether Li Chenggong is worthy or not!?"

Li Xin asked a question in return.

Hearing his sister's evaluation of him like that, Li Chenggong's face turned somewhat ugly.
