Chapter 337: The Second Branch of the Zhong Family

The rain continued all night and only stopped at dawn.

The morning mist rose and the entire empire was shrouded in white.

Zhong Bochuan waited at the airport all night.

His mother's plane encountered turbulence and turned back, delaying it by three more hours.

When the plane landed, an announcement came from the airport that all the passengers were safe, which made everyone feel relieved.

A noble lady came out from the exit. She was thin but had an excellent temperament.

She was originally the daughter of the Chi family, and later married into the Zhong family, where she lived a happy life with the second son of the Zhong family.

Later, the second owner of the house lost heart and she was forced to take her son to develop in Country M.

"Mom." Zhong Bochuan went up to her.

Chi Yan took off her sunglasses, held her son's hand tightly, and returned to the villa together.

This property was left behind by the second son of the Zhong family before he passed away, and Zhong Bochuan has kept it as it is.

As Chi Yan entered the room, she felt deeply moved.

"It's still the same."

She and her husband have so many memories in this house.

Things are different and people have changed.

After so many years, I still miss it.

"Mom, I've had the master bedroom cleaned up. You can rest first. The meal will be ready soon."

He rarely showed tenderness towards his mother.

For him, this is the only relative he has left.

Old Zhong has now abandoned him, and he can only be considered a grandfather in name only.

Chi Yan returned to the room.

There is a photo of a family of three on the bedside table.

She sighed and looked towards the door with some worry.

All these years, her son has never let it go.

She now only wants a stable life, nothing else.

The Zhong family is too big and she is tired of fighting.

Didn’t I accompany my husband in the fight back then, but what was the result?

She opened her suitcase and packed her clothes.

I didn't bring much with me this time.

I changed into a comfortable set of home clothes and left the bedroom.

Zhong Bochuan is on the phone.

She vaguely heard Meng Shanshan's name.

His pupils shrank slightly, and his heart sank.

"Bochuan."

He hung up the phone and turned to sit at the dining table with his mother.

The location of this villa is excellent and sunny.

Chi Yan looked less tired and picked up a piece of food with chopsticks and put it on his plate.

"Bochuan, Shanshan's child..."

Zhong Bochuan's face darkened: "They sent him to prison."

"It's been so many years, it's time to repay the kindness I showed you back then." She sighed, "If you develop feelings for her because she saved me back then, then that would be my fault."

She had heard a lot about Meng Shanshan. She didn't like this child and believed that she had bad intentions.

Zhong Bochuan was silent for a moment: "Mom, after so many years, I'm used to it."

"Habit is not love, Bochuan, you should have less contact with Shanshan. If it's because of the life-saving grace, then the doctor who treated me at the time is also a benefactor..."

"Mom," he interrupted her, "I know my limits."

Seeing this, Chi Yan sighed silently and did not persuade him anymore.

She ate a few bites and went to adjust to the jet lag.

I came back from Country M feeling very tired.

This time when she comes back, she must get rid of Meng Shanshan. Her son is so outstanding, and his future wife must be the daughter of a wealthy noble family. She must not be delayed by such a criminal.

The Tan family was busy preparing gifts for Tan Qinghuan's return visit.

The wedding is more grand at the man's side, while the return gift is more important to the woman's side.

There were no fewer guests this time than on the wedding day, but most of them were closer relatives.

Mr. Tan has lost a lot of weight due to being so busy these days.

Tan Mingzhu helped him sit down.

The housekeeper was busy.

"Dad, take a break first."

"Okay, Qinghuan and the others said they'll be there around ten o'clock, so let's not be late."

At this time, a security guard at the door ran over in a panic. Seeing that Mr. Tan and Tan Mingzhu were there, he hesitated to speak and directly pulled the housekeeper aside.

The housekeeper was instructing the servants to visit the door and arrange the furnishings. When he was pulled like this, he looked a little impatient.

"What's wrong?"

The security guard whispered something in his ear, and the housekeeper's face immediately darkened.

He had been in the Tan family for nearly thirty years, watching Tan Mingzhu being born and growing up. Later, when Tan Qinghuan came back, he watched her get married.

To be honest, he has long regarded the Tan family as his own home.

His wife and children all work for the Tan family.

On the day of visiting parents’ parents, those two bastards from the Wu family actually dare to come?

Mr. Tan was eating breakfast on the side.

Tan Mingzhu noticed the housekeeper's expression and felt a sudden tightness in her heart. She said a few words to comfort Mr. Tan and then stood up.

"What happened?"

The housekeeper smiled and said, "It's nothing, Miss. You can eat first and I'll take care of it."

Looking at the security guard's expression, she guessed something in her mind, and a sense of uneasiness instantly surged up in her heart.

She knew that she would have to go through this sooner or later.

"Let's go. I'll go with you. Don't delay Qing Huan's return home."

The butler was worried, he felt sorry for the eldest lady from the bottom of his heart.

"It's okay. My Tan family won't be scared by a few people."

Outside the gate.

Wu Qiang and Wu Cuihua were surrounded by several security guards under a tree.

The two people were originally thrown out by Zhong Bochuan and almost died on the way.

He finally hid under a bridge, picked up garbage for two days, and begged his way to the door of the Tan family.

The weather is getting warmer, especially the day after it rains, and the environment is getting humid.

The smell on them was getting worse and worse.

The security guard covered his nose.

"Damn it, it stinks!"

"What an unlucky day for the young lady's wedding!"

The housekeeper came over with Tan Mingzhu.

The eyes of the two people who were originally snuggling together lit up the moment they saw Tan Mingzhu.

Wu Qiang had always known that his abducted wife was very beautiful. Now, seeing her pampered and noble appearance, he grinned.

"Hey, wife, I haven't seen you for a few days. You are even more beautiful!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a slap was heard.

The butler put down his hand and spat, "What the hell, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

Wu Cuihua had no strength left and looked at Tan Mingzhu with resentment.

"I'm talking nonsense?" Wu Qiang laughed. "Why, you still want to pretend that Miss Tan was my wife? This is an open secret in the capital. Why are you pretending?"

The housekeeper was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.

Tan Mingzhu stopped her and tried hard to suppress her nausea.

"Tell me, what do you want to do here?"

She thought she wouldn't be able to hold on if she saw the two demons from the Wu family again, but now it seems that it's nothing.

Women are weak by nature, but they become strong when they become mothers.

For her daughter, she is not afraid of anything.

"I want money and my son!"

Wu Qiang directly stated his purpose: "Give me fifty... no, five million, and then find Tianci back, give him half of your Tan family's shares, and let Tianci become the heir of the Tan family. I promise that I will never bother you again..."

Before she finished speaking, Tan Mingzhu laughed.

What a big appetite!

"What are you laughing at?" Wu Cuihua felt a chill down her spine. "Qiangzi's request is already very low, and you are holding such a luxurious wedding for that money-loser..."

"Snap"

A slap landed on her face.

Wu Cuihua looked at the person in front of her in disbelief: "You hit me?"

Tan Mingzhu sneered: "You picked the day when Qinghuan came home to make trouble at the Tan family, what do you think this place is?"
