58 058 The Complaint
Tan Jing let out a cold laugh inside her. As expected, Tan Song only cared about the status of his family name. He was dying to get the acknowledgment of others. When he heard that she was beaten, he didn’t even panic, but when he heard how the other wealthy families would boycott his family, he started panicking.
Tan Jing quickly added oil to the fire as she squeezed a few drops of tears from her eyes, “It’s true. Tan Rou found her opportunity when we ended the marriage with the Zhuang family, and she ran to Zhuang Liu. She embarrassed mother and me in front of all those women. Those people would definitely talk about it when they return home. Once their husbands hear about this…it would be humiliating!!!”
Chen Yi quickly knew what she had to do as well. They had been married for years, and she knew the type of man her husband was. She was infuriated earlier and forgot about Tan Song’s weakness. This was why he wasn’t bothered by it earlier.
Chen Yi then said, “Those women have always been jealous that I’ve found a good husband, but now that Tan Rou has embarrassed us, I’m feeling so ashamed. I won’t be able to go socializing after this!”
Tan Jing quickly nodded her head. “Zhuang Liu even said that they only care about a character when choosing a wife. Isn’t he trying to hint that I don’t have a good character?! This will definitely affect your business, dad! Tan Rou is such an evil woman! She’s trying to ruin our family!”
Tan Song felt even more worried after hearing what they said. He held onto his chest as he panted, “That rascal! She hasn’t given up yet after returning to the Tao family! She even got herself associated with the Zhuang family and is showing it off to us!”
Tan Song was infuriated. He wanted to teach Tan Rou a lesson immediately, but he was worried about Zhuang Liu at the same time.
From Tan Song’s perspective, he has no idea that Tan Rou has already become someone entirely different. He still thought of Tan Rou as a useless clown. She didn’t believe that Tan Rou would have the ability to affect how the others looked at the Tan family.
Tan Rou must have gotten lucky that Zhuang Liu found her interesting. Zhuan Liu’s taste in women was unique as well. How could he protect a gold digger like Tan Rou and even embarrass the Tan family for her?
However, Tan Song couldn’t make any decision now as well. Although he knew the culprit was Zhuang Liu, there were still a lot of rumors surrounding him. Zhuang Liu’s health was still a mystery. The Zhuang family isn’t simple, and the Tan family could not afford to offend them.
So, even when there were lots of them who had already taken action, Tan Song was still trying to be cautious. He has decided to be an audience in this situation, afraid he might lose everything he has now.
However, today’s event caused Tan Song to realize that something was different.
By now, the reporters have not released any statement, so none of them have read that Zhuang Liu’s health has been restored.
However, after what happened tonight, most people would have realized that Zhuang Liu looked much better. He spoke firmly and did not look like someone in a critical situation.
Tan Song wasn’t sure if Zhuang Liu had come back from death or if this was just an act.
When they wanted to break the marriage, Tan Song was aware of it. In fact, he didn’t want anything extra happening at that time. No matter what happens to the Zhuang family in the future, cutting ties with them when Zhuang Liu is severely ill might piss off the Zhuang family. If Zhuang Liu were going to die soon, the Zhuang family would be done for, and Tan Song would also be affected.
This was why Tan Song always remained neutral. He didn’t want to get anyone’s attention, but Chen Yi and Tan Jing were complaining about it to him every day. They kept saying he was heartless, allowing their only daughter to marry a cripple. Tan Jing was also always crying, saying she didn’t want to be a widow and wanted Tan Song to have mercy on her.
Tan Song was being disturbed so badly that he had no other choice. He allowed it and felt happy that he had made the right choice. Perhaps the rumor about how the Zhuang family would collapse soon was real?
However, the reaction the Zhuang family gave back then was unexpected. Although the Zhuang family agreed, Tan Song felt something wasn’t right.
With what Zhuang Liu said today, everything became clear. They have never considered the Tan family; perhaps, Zhuang Liu was already together with Tan Rou since the beginning!
Tan Song hated it the most when others ignored him. Since he wasn’t sure if the Zhuang family still had the ability to do anything, he could only turn to the weaker party. He can’t question Zhuang Liu, but he could still question Tan Rou!
Tan Song didn’t think that Zhuang Liu would be by her side the entire time. Plus, they were just kids. How much love would there be between them? This was merely an irrational decision. Tan Rou was nothing compared to the Tan family.
Tan Rou was overconfident about his status and didn’t think that Zhuang Liu wouldn’t know what was best for him!
Tan Jing and Chen Yi were waiting for Tan Song to decide. They have just been badly humiliated by Tan Rou. They would definitely make her pay for what she has done today.
