Chapter 129 The Power of Motherly Love is Great
“My father had an affair and kept a mistress, and they had an illegitimate child.”
Although Tan Yi's tone was indifferent, a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes.
Upon hearing this, Yan Ting was both shocked and furious: "How is this possible?"
She had met Tan Yi's father.
A mild-mannered, refined middle-aged man, also known in the industry as a doting husband. How could someone like that cheat on his wife?
Tan Yi smiled bitterly: "Right? You find it unbelievable too, don't you? I didn't believe it at the time either, but I witnessed him cheating with my own eyes."
As an only child who was pampered by her father from a young age, she loves her dad very much.
But she felt even more sorry for her mother.
"What's in it for him?" Yan Ting looked at Tan Yi with heartache.
Tan Yi smirked and said sarcastically, "He wants a son. After my mother gave birth to me, the doctor said that it was already a struggle for her to give birth to me, and if she wanted another child, she might not even survive."
“My mother once told me that she was worried my father would not be able to accept this fact, but my father told my mother that it was okay, having one daughter was enough. He could give all his love to me alone.”
“My mom really believed it back then.”
"Looking back now, he really was a great actor."
Yan Ting's first reaction was: "You must keep the Tan family's assets under your own control."
"Of course," Tan Yi said coldly, "He's dreaming if he thinks that illegitimate son, who can't be brought into the light, will inherit the Tan family's fortune!"
"They shouldn't even think about it."
"If it weren't for my mother, Tan Zhong would be suffering somewhere somewhere!"
Tan Zhongfa's rags-to-riches story is no secret in the industry; even Yan Ting has heard of it.
It is said that Tan Zhong was a poor boy from the countryside when he was young. But he was smart, had good grades, and got into a prestigious university.
Later, by chance, he met Tan Yi's mother.
Tan Yi's mother, Wu Xiaoru, is a wealthy heiress. She was rescued by Tan Zhong, and the two gradually fell in love.
After their marriage, Tan Zhong relied on Wu Xiaoru's family background to start his business. If he lacked capital, the Wu family provided it; if he lacked connections, the Wu family provided them as well.
So Tan Zhong gradually built his business into a large and powerful enterprise, eventually becoming a wealthy man.
Wu Xiaoru has always trusted Tan Zhong. While Tan Zhong works hard outside, she stays at home as a virtuous wife and loving mother. For her, as long as her husband is healthy and her daughter is happy, she has no other desires.
But who would have thought that her husband was secretly keeping a mistress behind her back and had a five-year-old illegitimate child with her?
In other words, Tan Zhong had already cheated on his wife five years ago.
It wasn't until a few days ago that Tan Yi discovered this shocking secret.
She couldn't imagine what the consequences would be for her and her mother if they really waited until the illegitimate child came of age.
Clean up and leave the house?
What Tan Yi could think of, Yan Ting naturally thought of as well. "Luckily, we discovered it now. Does your aunt know about this?"
"..." Tan Yi said bitterly, "She doesn't know."
Because she didn't know, she had been thinking for the past few days about how to bring this up with her mother.
She was afraid her mother wouldn't be able to accept it.
After all, Mom's health isn't very good.
I'm worried that if she finds out about this, she might be traumatized and do something rash, which would be troublesome.
This is indeed a troublesome matter.
Looking at Tan Yi's ashen face, Yan Ting softened her voice: "This matter cannot be kept from your aunt; she has the right to know."
“I think your aunt is a person who looks weak but is actually very strong. She won’t easily give up, even for your sake.”
Tan Yi was stunned.
"Really?" she asked hesitantly.
Yanting nodded: "Please believe in a woman's love for her child."
Even though she never experienced maternal love, it doesn't stop her from believing that maternal love is great.
Perhaps it was because Yan Ting's tone was too certain, Tan Yi hesitated for a few seconds before saying firmly, "You're right, my mother can't be kept in the dark about this."
And that scumbag Tan Zhong doesn't deserve to be her father, much less her mother's husband.
"By the way, what's this about the marriage you just mentioned?"
Tan Yi: "Tan Zhong used the Tan family's money for his mistress, and even bought her a villa and luxury car. It is said that he plans to transfer the property to that illegitimate child."
“I don’t have much say in the Tan Group. Over the years, I’ve been messing around outside and haven’t really been involved in the company’s business. So it’s impossible for me to beat Tan Zhong on my own.”
Yanting's tone was somewhat complicated: "So you're planning to find a backer by sacrificing your marriage?"
Tan Yi said calmly, "Only in this way can I fight against Tan Zhong."
Yan Ting couldn't help but flick Tan Yi's forehead. "Really!"
"If you need a powerful backer, why not come to me?"
"Do you think you look down on me as your backer?"
"No, no," Tan Yi quickly explained, "No way, you're the president of Xuri Group now, of course you're powerful, but... I don't want to trouble you."
As Yanting's best friend, she knows very well how difficult it has been for Yanting to get to where she is today.
She couldn't take advantage of their relationship and squander their friendship.
Yanting was a little angry: "If you really consider me a friend, you shouldn't think like that."
Seeing that the other person was genuinely unhappy, Tan immediately smiled cautiously and said, "Don't be angry, Tingting. Don't worry, if anything else happens, I'll definitely ask you for help."
"I swear."
Yan Ting glanced at her and said reproachfully, "I hope so."
Tan Yi smiled slightly.
"Tingting, you're so kind."
She must be incredibly lucky to have made a best friend like Yanting.
Yan Ting hummed in agreement: "Tell me, who did you choose?"
Tan Yi's smile faded slightly: "You've met him before."
After a few seconds of stunned silence, Yan Ting seemed to remember someone and blurted out, "Si Munan?"
Tan Yi nodded: "It's him."
Upon learning that it was Si Munan, Yan Ting felt as if it was expected.
"do you like him?"
Tan Yi said casually, "I wouldn't say I like him, I can only say I find him pleasing to the eye, after all, we've been friends since we were kids."
“I had already told him before that the marriage was a marriage of convenience, and we would divorce after three years. After the marriage, the two of us would live separate lives. If he had someone he liked, he could tell me in advance. I would do the same.”
Of course, Tan Yi didn't think she would fall in love with anyone.
Yan Ting: "..."
Why am I suddenly feeling a little sorry for Si Munan?
She could tell that Tan Yi didn't have much affection for Si Munan right now.
But Si Munan is different.
You could tell from his eyes that his affection for Tan Yi was extraordinary.
Unfortunately, Tan Yi still hasn't realized that Si Munan likes her.
She also felt that Si Munan had always disliked her.
Otherwise, why would Si Munan have always been at odds with her when she was little?
As an observer, Yanting could only watch and see how things unfolded.
Of course, if Si Munan does anything to hurt Tan Yi, she will absolutely not forgive him.
