After rebirth, she doesn't lick, and the boss Kuku slaps her in the face

Chapter 18 Birthday Party

Night falls.

All the lights in the yard of the Tan family's old house were lit up, and even strings of soft lights were hung on the green plants and trees. The overwhelming light was as bright as a galaxy.

In the bustling and lively hall of the Tan family, the lights were bright, the glasses were clinking, and celebrities and nobles gathered.

Accompanied by soothing and melodious music, people holding wine glasses gathered in groups of three or five, greeting each other and their cheerful voices were heard.

Only Jiang Ximeng was sitting in the corner of the side hall eating delicious food, seeming out of place here.

Today is Tan Yan's father's birthday party.

She didn't want to come, but her parents had other plans today, so she had to come with her brother to show her support.

"Xiao Xi, let's go to the main hall too."

Jiang Mulin pretended to chat with some people who wanted to curry favor with Jiang Real Estate, and then turned around and his sister disappeared.

After much thought, I think this is the most likely place for her to come.

His sister is a real foodie. She is either eating or on her way to eat.

The Tan family's hall is very large, and there are special partitions, so food and other things are placed in the side hall.

"Let's go now."

Jiang Ximeng stuffed the last bite of cake into her mouth and followed Jiang Mulin.

At this time, all the participants have arrived and it is time for the host to speak.

Because of the good relationship between their grandfathers, when Uncle Tan was speaking, she and her brother had to stand in front to show respect.

A stage was built in the middle of the Tan family's hall, and on the stage sat a circle of famous musicians, some of whom could only be invited if not for connections.

Every detail of the banquet can demonstrate the status of the Tan family in S City. They have both money and power.

At this moment, a man in his fifties was standing in the center of the stage. He was Tan Yan's father, Tan Ming.

There was also a beautiful woman next to him who was about the same age as him, but because she took good care of herself, she looked only in her early forties.

Jiang Ximeng had met this person several times and knew that she was Tan Yu's mother and Uncle Tan's first love.

Tan Ming looked at the people in the hall with a smile on his face, "Thank you all for taking the time to attend Tan's birthday party. Everyone..."

After a round of pleasantries, he got straight to the point, "Today, I have an important announcement."

Tan Ming looked kind and waved to the person standing in front of the crowd, "Xiao Yu, come here."

Jiang Ximeng looked past the crowd and towards Tan Yu.

He stood in the crowd with a frown on his face, showing his refusal to cooperate.

It can be seen that just like in the previous life, he does not want to be recognized.

He had wanted to escape from the Tan family since he was a child, but he couldn't bear to leave because he was worried about his mother.

As the beautiful woman called out "Xiao Yu" sadly, Tan Yu finally compromised and walked towards the stage step by step.

Yes, he is Uncle Tan’s favorite child. After today, he will no longer be an illegitimate child, but the eldest master of the Tan family.

but……

Jiang Ximeng subconsciously looked at the crowd, searching for a figure among them.

Until the same pair of inky black eyes met, he paused, then looked away.

"Tan Yu is my first child and also..." Tan Ming talked about his love for his eldest son on the stage.

Tan Yan clenched his fists. The last thing he wanted to see was their 'family of three'.

If it wasn't for his so-called 'father', who had a passionate and lingering love with his first love on the eve of his wedding, there wouldn't have been Tan Yu who was born three days before him.

What they did was like a thorn, deeply piercing the mother's heart.

Although it was a business marriage, my mother had liked Tan Ming since she was a child. She said that marrying him was her lifelong wish.

As her heart was broken and expectation turned into despair, the mother died of depression.

He still remembers what his mother looked like on the day she died. She was in her early thirties, her hair had become sparse, and her face was full of wrinkles of fatigue.

She shouldn't be so haggard...

And the woman who was a few years older than her was standing on the stage in such a glamorous and beautiful manner. How could he not hate her!

I hate that she knew her father was about to get married, but still tried her best to seduce him.

He hated that she got what she wanted and got pregnant, but she used words like "underground lover" and "illegitimate child" to win her father's sympathy.

What’s even more hateful is that she often set traps and framed her mother for harming her.

and then?

His stupid father actually believed it every time and became even colder towards his mother.

Ah!

Father?

Is that man worthy?

His mother and grandfather spent his childhood together, and the number of times he met Tan Ming could be counted on ten fingers.

Tan Ming has never fulfilled his responsibilities as a father, and is not worthy of being his father!

Now, he still wants to introduce his illegitimate son to everyone openly. Does he really think that Tan Yan is dead?

For a moment, Tan Yan wanted to rush forward regardless of the consequences.

Ask him why he was so cruel to his mother. If he didn't like her, why did he marry her in the first place?

Why did the same mother give birth to him?

Why did you give birth to him and then ignore him?

Endless hatred was about to consume him completely, leaving him unable to think of anything.

Just when he was about to vent, he saw a pair of familiar eyes. Her inquiring gaze swept through the crowd before meeting his.

Yes...care about him?

probably……

I still remember many years ago, when he was thirteen years old, his mother had passed away for five years.

Tan Ming had already brought his first love into the old house in a dignified manner, and also brought Tan Yu, who was only three days younger than him.

He often looked for opportunities to beat Tan Yu, and Tan Ming and his lover would always come to protect him at the first opportunity.

Then he would be scolded and beaten by the couple.

That day, just when he had a great time fighting, Tan Ming came to protect him again.

Seeing his son's head covered in blood, he felt heartbroken. He walked over angrily, apparently wanting to beat him to vent his anger on behalf of Tan Yu.

He was very stubborn at the time, and even though he knew he couldn't win, he just stood there motionless.

The familiar slap did not fall, but stayed in mid-air.

Because... a chubby little body was blocking his way.

The follower spread out her chubby arms. She was the beloved daughter of the Jiang family. Tan Ming didn't dare to do anything and could only let it go.

After Tan Ming left with Tan Yu in his arms, his eyes full of heartache, the follower pulled his arm and said in a baby voice: "Brother Yan, your head is bleeding..."

Is it bleeding?

Ah……

Even the children can see it, but Tan Ming turns a blind eye to it...

The dusty memories caused the scarlet eyes to gradually turn into disappointment, and finally returned to complete calmness.

Since Tan Ming didn't treat him as his son, he wouldn't treat him as a relative either.

Half a year!

It only takes half a year.

He can then get more shares of Tan Group, and by then, he will definitely turn Tan Ming into a stray dog!

"Xiao Xi, I'm going to go see Tan Yan. If you're tired later, find a place to rest first."

Jiang Mulin patted his sister who seemed to be lost in thought. He was worried about his friend and wanted to go over to comfort her.

Jiang Ximeng nodded, and then looked at the three people on the stage with a look of surprise.

It’s strange. In his previous life, Tan Yan should have rushed up and beaten Uncle Tan at this time.

Even Tan Yu, who felt sorry for his father and stepped forward to help, was hit by him.

Tan Yan practiced fighting privately, and his moves were fast, accurate, and ruthless. Uncle Tan and Tan Yu suffered a lot.

It is not easy for outsiders to get involved in the internal affairs of the Tan family. They can only keep stepping back for fear of getting hurt.

She and her brother were there at the time, and seeing that they couldn't stop Tan Yan from getting angry, they had no choice but to go upstairs to find Grandpa Tan...

The grand banquet ended abruptly, and Grandpa Tan also used his power at the right time to "implore" everyone not to reveal even a little bit.

The Tan family is extremely powerful in S City, and no one would dare to say anything without warning.

Tan Yan, who caused the chaos, was beaten to a pulp by Grandpa Tan, and 5% of his shares were transferred to Tan Yu.

At first, she didn't understand why Grandpa Tan, who loved Tan Yan the most, did this.

Later, she realized that Grandpa Tan was protecting him.

Because Uncle Tan had the surveillance footage from that night, he planned to take Tan Yan to court.

If the case goes to court, Tan Yan will have no way to defend himself against the assault.

No matter what the trial result is, it will have a certain impact on Tan Yan.

In order to minimize the losses, Grandpa Tan could only transfer the shares to Tan Yu to appease Uncle Tan.

Grandpa Tan's original idea was to transfer 2%, but Uncle Tan asked for 10%. It was only after Grandpa Tan's persuasion that the price was reduced to 5%.

From this incident, it can be seen that Uncle Tan really does not have Tan Yan in his heart at all.

Jiang Ximeng heard all these things from her brother.

At that time, Tan Yan was annoyed with her and didn't want to pay any attention to her, let alone talk about these things.
