Inheritance

Zhao Yan had also heard the commotion here. In fact, he did not think that it was bad for his sister to provoke Zou Bai and Jiang An, but it was obvious that she had failed and was humiliated.

Luo Xuan felt a headache coming on. This banquet was not for Zhao Lan to quarrel with others. She told Zhao Yan to quickly resolve the matter, “Don’t let your sister embarrass herself here.”

Zhao Yan brought Zhao Yi over and said with a smile, “Zhao Lan must have drunk too much because she was too happy. Please don’t mind what she said wrong.”

After saying that, he grabbed Zhao Lan’s hand and was about to leave when she shook him off. “I didn’t drink at all. Jiang An, why are you pretending to be gentle and generous here? You’re clearly someone who has given birth before, but you still seduced Zou Bai to marry you. What a scheming and good method!”

Jiang An’s children were not a secret. Everyone knew of the existence of the two little cuties, but Zou Bai himself did not say anything, so it was even more impossible for them to mention it.

Zhao Lan’s words were so bold that even Zhao Yan felt that she had gone overboard. If Zou Bai got angry because of this, the Zhao family would not be in the right.

Zou Bai was not angry. He held Jiang An’s hand and said, “Jiang Yu and Jiang Yi are my children. They will inherit everything from me in the future. Back then, I was the one who fell in love with An’an and pursued her hard. It was not easy for her to accept me. Being able to marry An’an is the greatest blessing in my life. Miss Zhao, you don’t have to tell me what to do.”

When Zhao Lan heard this, she forgot to struggle. Zou Bai lowered his head in public and said that he had pursued Jiang An. This was simply lowering his status.

Moreover, he said that the two children would inherit everything from him, which meant that they would have the right to inheritance from the Zou family.

No one knew what to say. They were sure that Zou Bai really loved Jiang An and could even give her children the right to inherit.

As for the words “my children”, they were automatically ignored by everyone. They thought that Zou Bai was raising the status of the two children, which meant that it was the same for stepchildren and biological children.

It took them a long time to realize that Zou Bai had already told them the truth.

Zhao Yan recovered from the shock and quickly dragged Zhao Lan away. He could not let her continue talking nonsense.

“It’s our Zhao family’s fault. Lan Lan has been a little depressed recently. Taking medicine has stimulated her nerves. Coupled with the fact that she was drunk just now, she spouted nonsense. Please don’t take it to heart,” Zhao Yan said.

Jiang An turned her head and didn’t say a word. Zou Bai also didn’t say anything. The two of them pretended not to hear him. Zhao Yan felt that he was in the wrong and quickly retreated.

Looking at Zhao Lan being forcefully dragged away, Jiang An sighed and said, “So it’s very simple to make a woman lose everything. Just tell everyone that she’s a lunatic. How terrifying.”

She had no intention of forgiving Zhao Lan. She just felt that this method was shocking.

Zou Bai patted her hand. “This is all her own fault. She wouldn’t have ended up like this if she had stopped talking in time.”

The banquet hall finally quietened down. Everyone tacitly began to talk about other things and returned to a harmonious scene, as if nothing had happened just now.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to her, Chen Xiang lifted her skirt and quietly walked to the back of the house. She saw many servants guarding a corner. It was a small building built alone, far away from the other villas.

She felt that there must be someone living inside, someone who could not show their face at the banquet. Otherwise, there would not be so many people guarding here.

She took out the binoculars from her bag and found a good angle to look at the window of the small building. There was a round figure lying there. She looked at it for a long time before confirming that the person who had changed drastically was Tan Si.

Then everything would make sense. The Zhao family wanted a child and not a mother, but there was another child in Tan Si’s stomach. They could only hide her here.

She just did not know what Tan Si thought about what had just happened. Or could it be that the Zhao family had not told her at all that the child was no longer hers in all sorts of ways?

With the Zhao family’s strength, they could even change the birth certificate. As time passed and the child grew up, there were no records of the biological mother in society or the law. When Zhao Yan’s marriage gets registered with his future wife’s name, there would not be any traces of Tan Si.

Chen Xiang thought for a while. It was better to tell Tan Si. With her bad temper, she would definitely cause a ruckus. The more chaotic the situation was, the more beneficial it would be for her subsequent plan.

She only had this one chance. She had to succeed.

Chen Xiang looked at the servants and shouted, “Where are my earrings? My earrings are missing!”

The servants knew that the people attending the banquet were of high status, so one of them quickly walked over and asked, “Miss, are you looking for something?”

Chen Xiang nodded. “I’m missing a diamond earring. Hurry up and help me look for it.”
