Chapter 439 The Fourth Descendant of the Tang Family

Just then, the door to the private room was pushed open.

Yan Jin walked in.

Huo Shenyuan stood up and introduced Nan Wan.

"This is Yan Jin from Kaka Entertainment."

"This is Ms. Nan Wan, and her husband, Lu Qinglin."

"Miss Nan, it's been a long time." Yan Jin nodded slightly.

In Qingcheng, who wouldn't know Nan Wan?

He had met her a few times and knew about the Southern Gang's background, but they had never been close friends.

Yan Jin's gaze swept past Nan Wan and landed on Tang Xiaoya beside her.

He hadn't expected that this girl would have such a good relationship with Nan Wan in private.

My thoughts drifted back to that night.

At the Quan Tang Club, when Xia Ran suddenly kissed her, she and Nan Wan came out of the opposite private room together.

He remembered that shocked and hurt look in her eyes very clearly.

"President Yan, it's been a long time. Please have a seat." Nan Wan looked up, her tone calm.

Lu Qinglin glanced at Yan Jin, his eyes filled with displeasure.

This woman knows quite a few handsome men.

Thankfully, we've already gotten the marriage certificate.

Tang Xiaoya looked at Yan Jin, her brows furrowed slightly, revealing her worry.

You don't look well. Are you very tired?

She was unaware that their affair had been exposed online and was known to the entire internet.

Next, there may be a whole host of troubles ahead.

"It's alright." Yan Jin reached out and covered her small hand on the table, patting it gently.

The warmth from his palm carried a comforting power.

Huo Shenyuan spoke, his tone calm, "I saw what happened online. If you need help, just let me know."

Yan Jin's expression remained completely calm and composed.

"I can handle it."

On his way here, he sorted out the whole story.

It's highly likely that Yan Chen was behind this.

Exposing his relationship with Tang Xiaoya would enrage the old man in his family.

When the old man gets angry, he will force him to marry Du Yunshu.

In this way, Yan Chen could legitimately approach Tang Xiaoya.

Ha, Yan Chen's plan is really clever, but how could I let him have his way?

"It's a rare opportunity for everyone to get together today."

Qingning raised her juice glass with a beaming smile.

"Let's raise a glass to wish Sister Nan a happy marriage, and also wish Xiao Ya's new film a huge success!"

Tang Xiaoya immediately chimed in, "I also wish you and President Huo a harmonious and happy life together forever."

"Bang."

The crisp sound of glass colliding.

Three couples, six figures, raised their glasses in a toast under the warm lamplight.

The atmosphere was just right when a commotion suddenly broke out outside the door.

"Cousin! Cousin! It's me! Let me in!"

Shen Li was stopped by the bodyguards and shouted at the top of her lungs outside.

"I want to see my idol!"

Lu Qinglin frowned deeply, got up, walked over, and opened the door.

The next second, a young girl in a white dress rushed in like a whirlwind.

"Hello, cousin-in-law, hello everyone." Shen Li greeted everyone sweetly, her gaze precisely fixed on Tang Xiaoya.

"Ah! Sister Xiaoya! I'm your biggest fan! Can I take a picture with you?"

As she spoke, she walked towards Tang Xiaoya.

"No." Yan Jin's words came out coldly, devoid of any warmth.

These are turbulent times. If this girl takes photos and posts them online, who knows what kind of trouble those netizens will cause.

"Brother-in-law!" Shen Li recognized him immediately.

"Brother-in-law, you're the best! Please let me take a picture with Sister Xiaoya, just one!"

That "brother-in-law" was called out in a sweet and crisp voice.

Yan Jin's taut jawline seemed to have softened a bit.

Shen Li was making her own plans.

It seems the rumors are true; Xiaoya's boyfriend really is President Yan from Kaka Entertainment.

Look at how protective he is of his offspring.

"Lili! Sit down over there!"

Lu Qinglin, unable to bear it any longer, growled in a low voice with a stern face.

"If you cause any more trouble, get back to school right now!"

Shen Li seemed not to hear, and suddenly pulled out a jade flute that was entirely translucent green from her small bag.

"I really like Sister Xiaoya. I'm practicing playing the xiao (vertical flute) hard for her sake!"

After saying that, she brought the jade flute to her lips, puffed out her cheeks, and began to blow.

The out-of-tune, howling sound of the flute instantly began to assault everyone's ears.

This is practically a massive social disaster.

But Chen Li, completely absorbed in the music, showed no embarrassment whatsoever.

"Chen Li!" Lu Qinglin completely exploded, and he reached out to pick her up and throw her out.

How embarrassing!

"Brother Lu." Tang Xiaoya hurriedly stopped her, got up and walked over.

She looked at Shen Li, feeling both amused and exasperated.

"It's just a photo. Here, take out your phone."

"Sister Xiaoya, you're so kind!" Shen Li immediately put away her jade flute, quickly took out her phone, skillfully switched to beauty mode, and snapped several pictures with Tang Xiaoya.

After the photo was taken, she made a serious promise.

"Sister Xiaoya, don't worry, I will never release the photos. I will just keep them to myself."

She leaned closer and lowered her voice.

"I've even organized a fan club for you, and it already has 60,000 followers! I'll tear apart every single one of those online trolls who're badmouthing you, I won't let a single one get away with it!"

"Thank you." Tang Xiaoya chuckled. "Have you eaten?"

Shen Li quickly waved her hand, "I've already eaten! I have something to ask my cousin-in-law!"

After saying that, she ran to Nan Wan's side like a whirlwind.

"Sister-in-law, take a look."

Shen Li rolled up her sleeves, revealing two large, alarming bruises on her fair forearms.

She lifted a corner of her skirt, revealing an even larger patch on her thigh.

"Yesterday Yang Yi took the day off, and I got ambushed and beaten up in an alley. Could you let Yang Yi protect me for a little longer?"

Lu Qinglin's face darkened completely. "How old are you? Where did you get so many enemies? Anyone who didn't know better would think your father was involved in organized crime!"

He then asked, "Why do I only hit your hands and feet, but not your face?"

Nan Wan covered her mouth, her eyes full of laughter, and said, "Okay, I'll lend him to you for another two months to protect you until summer vacation."

"Thank you, cousin-in-law! You're the best."

Shen Li was instantly revived, her face beaming with joy.

"Hello, Sister Xiaoya! I'm leaving now, you guys enjoy your meal!"

Having achieved all her goals, she immediately made her escape without any hesitation.

The room was finally quiet again.

Outside the door, Yang Yi's handsome face was so dark it looked like ink could drip from it.

He thought he would be liberated tomorrow and could return to the Nan family manor.

Unexpectedly, this troublemaker extended his stay for another two months.

As Shen Li passed by him, she stuck out her little finger and poked his muscular shoulder triumphantly.

"You, come with me."

She was in a great mood, humming a little tune. Sure enough, shamelessness is invincible!

In two months, she wanted Yang Yi to take the initiative to hold her and call her baby, and to have a sensational romance with her.

whee!

The dinner party ended around 9 p.m.

Yan Jin did not take Tang Xiaoya back to the villa. Instead, he led her directly to the presidential suite on the top floor.

Tang Xiaoya took a shower first.

When she came out wrapped in a bath towel, Yan Jin had just finished making a phone call and was walking towards the bathroom.

Tang Xiaoya picked up her phone as if possessed and read today's comments again.

She was so scared her face turned pale. Yan Jin was exposed, and there were two trending topics on the internet.

#Yan Jin and Tang Xiaoya's relationship exposed#

#Tang Xiaoya Get Out of the Entertainment Industry#

The headline was jarring, accompanied by their photos.

Her worst fears have come true.

She didn't know how to face this scene, and she didn't care how much she was scolded.

But she couldn't let Kaka Entertainment be implicated, nor could she let him be branded with the stigma of unspoken rules.

She stood there stunned for a long time, so lost in thought that she dropped her phone on the floor. Yan Jin came out of the bathroom.

"What's wrong?" He saw her pale face and his heart tightened.

"Yan Jin, what... what do we do now?" Tang Xiaoya's voice was trembling with tears, completely at a loss.

Yan Jin bent down to pick up her phone and tossed it onto the sofa beside her.

He pulled her into a tight embrace.

His chest was warm and strong, exuding a reassuring power.

"Silly girl, don't overthink it, it's okay."

His voice was deep and close to her ear.

"Listen, no matter what happens, I will protect you." That was his promise.

“But you…” Tang Xiaoya’s tears welled up instantly.

"I'm your boyfriend, so please make me your official boyfriend ahead of time and let me stand by you through thick and thin."

Yan Jin's voice was very gentle as she patted her back softly.

"Yan Jin." It has to be said, she was moved at this moment.

Yan Jin cupped her tear-stained face and lowered his head to kiss her.

Tang Xiaoya's tears fell lightly.

"Xiaoya, look at me." His dark eyes shone brightly in the dim light.

"From now on, no one can separate us."

He boldly announced and kissed her.

She was completely smitten; she wanted to spend her whole life with him.

...

On the other side, Lu Qinglin and Nan Wan were sitting in a car at the Nan family manor.

Nan Wan turned to look at him, her gaze as sharp as a cheetah's.

"Lu Qinglin, you can confess now."

How were your wallet and phone stolen?

Lu Qinglin's heart skipped a beat; he knew he couldn't hide anything from her.

But he still recounted the information he knew in detail.

After attending Bai Yu and Sheng Weiwei's engagement party that day and spending a passionate night with her, he returned to Rongcheng to investigate the truth behind the Tang family's bankruptcy.

Later, the clues pointed to his second uncle, Lu Shen.

By interrogating a housekeeper, he discovered that the man who had hugged Nan Wan at the hotel was actually Nan Wan's biological father, Tang Yin.

He knew that Nan Wan's father had been missing for a long time when they were dating. He just didn't expect that he would come back the day before their engagement.

So he investigated Tang Yin's movements over the years, and why he was alive but did not return to the Tang family.

Later, he learned that an accident had caused his amnesia. Ten years later, he remembered that he was a member of the Tang family and traveled thousands of miles back to attend his daughter's engagement banquet.

However, he didn't dare go directly back to the Tang family. Instead, he met with Nan Wan at the hotel to acknowledge her first, which led to his misunderstanding.

Later, Lu Qinglin went to the place where Tang Yin had lived for ten years and discovered that he had another family.

His wife's name was Zhang Xiuyi, and Tang Xiaoya's childhood name was Zhang Xiaoya. It was only after Tang Yin regained his memory that he changed her name to Tang Xiaoya.

"Tang Xiaoya is very likely your half-sister."

"The fourth remaining descendant of the Tang family."

Lu Qinglin finally revealed his thoughts, and Nan Wan looked shocked, clearly startled...

Her body trembled slightly, whether from excitement or sadness, it was hard to tell.

It turns out that the father had another daughter, and he gave all his fatherly love to her.

Perhaps it was because blood is thicker than water that she jumped out of the van and rushed towards her injured self.

Her eyes instantly welled up with tears...

"Wanwan, don't get agitated. If you don't want to admit it, you can pretend you know nothing."

Lu Qinglin nervously pulled her into his arms.
