Chapter 298 Secretly Hooking Up
As night fell, some people were preparing to work the night shift, while others had just returned home.
After a busy day, Tan Song returned home. As soon as he entered the door, Chen Yi and her daughter were arguing about something.
“You’ve embarra.s.sed me today, do you know that? Now they all think I’m crazy!” Chen Yi shouted at her daughter, “I received calls from three mental hospitals in one afternoon. There were also countless rich ladies who sent messages to mock me. You’ve made me a clown!”
Tan Jing argued loudly. “You can’t blame me for that. If I didn’t say that, we would have offended the Zhuang family.”
Chen Yi didn’t take the Zhuang family seriously. “Our family will soon be married to the Tao family in the Capital. Do we need to be afraid of the Zhuang family? Forget about whether or not the head of the Zhuang family would wake up. Just look at Zhuang Liu. He looks like he’s about to die. How many days does he have left?”
Hearing them quarrel, Li Wen couldn’t even open her eyes from laughing. Rich n.o.ble ladies? When they quarreled, they looked just like uncles and aunties quarreling in the market due to the price difference.
She was the first to notice Tan Song’s return, so she hid her mocking expression and put on a gentle smile. She quietly ran to the entrance to help Tan Song take off his suit.
Tan Song looked at the shrew-like Chen Yi and then at the considerate Li Wen. There was no harm in not comparing. Chen Yi was really getting more and more outrageous. Today, she even caused such a big mess on the Internet. He didn’t even know where to hide himself.
Li Wen’s back was facing the living room. She boldly touched Tan Song’s hand, then smiled at him and winked at him seductively.
Tan Song didn’t show it on his face, but his heart had long been seduced by her. He wished he could carry her to bed and dote on her properly now. But now, he had to deal with the mess in the living room first.
“Jingjing did well. If it wasn’t for Jingjing, who knows how much trouble would have happened today.” Tan Song said.
Seeing that he didn’t respond, Li Wen followed behind him angrily.
“Go get me a gla.s.s of water,” Tan Song instructed Li Wen.
Li Wen turned around to pour some water, thinking that she would teach Tan Song a lesson later.
She handed the water to Tan Song, and Tan Song took the opportunity to touch her palm. She immediately understood what Tan Song meant, so she happily went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
“Dad, why are you back so late?” Tan Jing was very annoyed, but she still had to greet him.
Tan Song’s expression was ugly. He said angrily, “Things are happening one after another. How can I come home early?”
Chen Yi immediately blamed this on Tan Rou. “It’s all that b*tch Tan Rou’s fault. If she didn’t donate five million, none of this would have happened. She was also the one who caused the incident this afternoon. Seven or eight hundred thousand went missing in an instant!” Chen Yi’s heart had been in pain the whole afternoon.
“We can earn them again.” Tan Song couldn’t stand Chen Yi’s haggling over a little money. “Do you know how much impact today’s incident has had on the Tan family?”
“It’s all Tan Rou’s fault,” Chen Yi said softly as she sat on the sofa.
Tan Jing really couldn’t stand her mother’s stupidity. Tan Rou was very detestable, but it wasn’t a good thing for Chen Yi to quarrel with a high school student in public.
“Dad, what do we do now?” Tan Jing asked.
“We’ll have to apologize.” Tan Song praised what Tan Jing did today. “Jingjing did a good job today. Let’s make the online reviews better first, then we’ll make a public apology. We’ll compensate as much as we can and minimize the losses as much as possible. Especially the cooperation with the Tao family from the Capital. We must ensure that we can get this business deal.
Then, he said to Chen Yi, “Stay at home for the time being. If Jingjing hadn’t reacted quickly, our family would have been finished.”
He really could not tolerate Chen Yi’s stupidity. The few n.o.ble ladies that she had invited today were all reputable figures. If they were willing to help the Tan family, the Tan family would easily survive this crisis. However, in the end, it was all ruined by Chen Yi and she even said many things that she should not have said.
“I wanted to help our family as well but Tan Rou was the one who ruined it.” Chen Yi said guiltily.
“Were you really trying to help?” Tan Song was furious. “You admitted to feeding Tan Rou sleeping pills in public. Many people on the internet think that we’re abusing Tan Rou. You were the one who fed her sleeping pills and sent her away, but now, they’re putting all the blame on the Tan family!”
“Who did I do that for?” Chen Yi said angrily. “Wasn’t it for you? At that time, she cried every day and none of us had the time to sleep. If I didn’t feed her sleeping pills, how would we be able to fall asleep?”
