Chapter 2397 There is a problem! As expected!
"Old Tan, you're finally here!"
The next morning, Li Meng stood at the door of the villa, looking at the middle-aged man who appeared in front of him, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Yesterday he had already agreed with Ling Tian that he would first meet with the Patriarch of the Tan family today, and then consider whether to reveal Ling Tian's existence.
Today, the head of the Tan family appeared in front of the Li family villa wearing a black suit, his hair combed meticulously, and a pair of black leather shoes.
From the way he was dressed, you could tell that he took today's meeting very seriously.
"Yes, Lao Li, I was supposed to leave early, but I ran into someone I knew on the way and got delayed. It's not a big deal, let's go in and talk."
The head of the Tan family spoke with a smile, put his arm around Li Meng's shoulders, his eyes full of smiles.
After the two entered the house, the head of the Tan family looked around at the Li family's villa and nodded: "Not bad, no matter when I come here, I will be amazed by the luxurious decoration of your villa. To be honest, the decoration of your villa is really good, or rather, super good."
The head of the Tan family praised the Li family villa with some polite words. The two of them walked straight into the living room and sat on the sofa.
After the two of them sat down and the drinks were served, Li Meng slowly looked at the man opposite him.
Tan Liwei, the current patriarch of the Tan family, is also the only one in the Tan family who has reached the peak of the Unity Realm.
Although he is also at the peak of the Unity Realm, there is still some gap compared to Wang Yong's strength.
After all, realm is not the standard for measuring a person's true strength.
Although both of them are at the peak of the Unity Realm, sometimes Tan Liwei's dominance is not as terrifying as Wang Yong's.
Tan Liwei rarely takes action. After all, his realm alone is enough to scare many people.
It can be said that when there is no need to take action, he is the strongest existence. But whenever he needs to take action, he may be the weakest one among the peak of the Unity Realm.
Otherwise, his Tan family would not have always been in the top three, but would have directly become the second family in Weicheng.
Li Meng looked at Tan Liwei for a while, then smiled and said, "Old Tan, what have you been busy with recently? I saw you were absent-minded during the last organizational meeting."
"Oh, stop talking." Tan Liwei waved his hand. "I've been forced to do things lately. There are many things I don't want to do, but I have to do them. Most importantly, countless eyes are watching me. If I do anything wrong, I will be tortured and in danger."
"Old Li, when you said that to me yesterday, I was really moved. The Wang family right now is like a mountain pressing down on my chest, making it incredibly difficult for me to breathe. If there's a chance to bring them down, I'll definitely be the first to go. So, Old Li, do you have a plan?"
Tan Liwei's overly direct way of chatting made Li Meng slightly stunned. To be honest, his thoughts were a little disrupted.
I thought I needed to chat some nonsense with Tan Liwei, and then the two of us would discuss this so-called plan.
After all, when dealing with something like the Wang family, the dangers involved can be imagined, and the consequences are also imaginable.
Therefore, Li Meng would think about being cautious, paying attention when speaking, and being patient when chatting.
But now, Tan Liwei talked about what to do with the Wang family without any preparation. To be honest, Li Meng was a little scared.
Tan Liwei looked at Li Meng and found that he didn't say anything, so he continued: "Old Li, I know that I spoke a little suddenly, and I also know that it's not good to talk about this with you directly, but you have to know that the Tan family is now being targeted by the Wang family, and I am a little anxious."
"Being targeted by the Wang family?" Li Meng raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean? Old Tan, has something happened to your Tan family?"
Hearing this, Tan Liwei sighed and nodded. "There have indeed been some troubles. Old Li, do you still remember my daughter? Lili, who just turned 21 this year, do you remember her?"
Li Meng nodded: "Remember."
Li Meng was deeply impressed by the daughter that Tan Liwei mentioned.
Thinking back to when I had just become the head of the Li family and Tan Liwei had just taken the position of head of the family, the two were still pretty good friends.
At that time, the two talked about everything and did almost everything together. They even chose the same day to get married.
After getting married, the two agreed that if the first child was a boy or a girl, they would arrange marriages for the children.
However, after Li Tao was born, Tan Liwei's child, who was born at the same time, died in infancy and did not come into this world.
Later, Tan Liwei had his second child, whom he called his daughter, also known as Lili, Tan Lili.
However, when Tan Lili was born, because she was the first child, Li Meng did not mention the matter of the child marriage between the two families again, and he always avoided this topic in order to prevent Tan Liwei from recalling the sad past.
Time passed by little by little. Until now, Li Meng had not seen Tan Lili many times, let alone let Li Tao marry Tan Lili.
Now, when Tan Lili was mentioned by Tan Liwei, Li Meng was stunned for a moment before nodding: "I definitely remember Lili, but I didn't see her often. After all, you didn't take her out much."
"Alas, I feel ashamed when it comes to Lili's affairs. I know that I had some agreement with your Li family at that time, the so-called child marriage. At that time, Tan Lili was also the daughter I wanted to entrust to Li Tao, but unfortunately, when Lili was born, the Wang family appeared in our Tan family."
Li Meng was slightly stunned when he heard this. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why? Don't they want you to stay?"
"Not really." Tan Liwei shook his head. "According to the Wang family, Tan Lili is the daughter-in-law agreed upon by the Wang family. They have too many sons, so they need to choose a daughter-in-law from among our families. My daughter has become the target of the Wang family, so..."
As Tan Liwei spoke, he sighed and sat down on the sofa, as if at this moment he had aged several years.
Li Meng looked at him, frowned slightly, and said, "So, you agreed to their request and let Tan Lili become the daughter-in-law of the Wang family?"
Tan Liwei nodded. "I really couldn't resist, so I had no choice but to agree. After that, I often locked Lili up in the house because I was afraid she would be targeted by the Wang family. I also hoped that one day the Wang family would forget this agreement, but unfortunately... they finally remembered it."
Hearing this, Li Meng couldn't help but ask, "So your daughter is going to marry someone from the Wang family?"
"Yes, and Lili and the Wang family's wedding...is scheduled for the day Lin Rumo gets married!"
