Chapter 26

Tan's house, banquet hall.

It was still early for the banquet to officially start, and not many guests had arrived.

"Manman!"

Tan Xinman froze after confirming that the scene was perfectly arranged, and slowly turned around.

Ying Xu quickly approached Tan Xinman and habitually tried to hold her hand -

but she slightly turned aside and dodged.

Ying Xu pursed his lips, "How long are you going to continue to hide from me?" Tan Xinman

knew Ying Xu's temper. Seeing that he looked unhappy, she thought of the importance of today's occasion, sighed, and took his hand.

By the way, she took Ying Xu to a corner.

"Today is a party prepared for her to rectify her name, don't mess it up." Tan Xinman said seriously.

Ying Xu snorted coldly, feeling sorry for Tan Xinman, "I don't know which corner this person came from, but for her, your uncle and aunt don't care about your face at all!"

"Ying Xu!" Tan Xinman said in a low voice, "I said that she is the victim in this matter, and I am sorry for her. Can you please not be so hostile to her!"

Ying Xu gritted his teeth, "You have been so good to them, and you have been together day and night for so many years. Just because of the different bloodline, you are so easily made to give in. It's simply heartless and ungrateful."

"And you were just a baby back then. What did that person do to you? It's Tan Li's bad luck..."

Seeing that Tan Xinman's face was not good, Ying Xu closed his mouth angrily, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything."

"Anyway, we're going to get married soon, so why bother with them then."

Tan Xinman said helplessly, "Ying Xu, I remember I said..."

"Don't listen!" Ying Xu covered his ears, "Manman, I know that the Tan family is giving you enough headaches right now."

"But I still have to tell you, whether you are the daughter of the Tan family or not, to me, you are just Tan Xinman, the woman I love."

Tan Xinman looked at Ying Xu's affectionate eyes and sighed in her heart.

"Anyway, today's occasion is very formal and very important to our family, so don't mess it up." Tan Xinman solemnly warned, and secretly made up her mind to keep a close eye on Ying Xu later.

In order to prevent him from getting angry like a young master.

Ying Xu replied perfunctorily, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."

After Tan Xinman turned around, a dark light flashed in his eyes.

**

As more and more guests came, Tan Pei also began to come out to greet them.

The guests were very experienced and did not ask Tan Pei and Tan Xinman, who were tight-lipped, for information. They just looked at Wu Xiu quietly.

But after looking around, no one could find the hostess Wu Xiu.

Wu Xiu was in Tan Li's room on the second floor.

Tan Li was wearing a bright red high-slit waisted evening dress with sleeves made of large diamonds. Her lower body was sexy and her upper body was luxurious and dignified.

Wu Xiu personally put on the last diamond earring for her, her eyes red, "Our Dali is so beautiful."

Tan Li shook the diamond chain in her hand and nodded with satisfaction.

But there was no restraint on her legs, she said "tsk" dissatisfiedly, fortunately there was 15-inch ultra-thin high heels as compensation.

"Dali," Wu Xiu took her hand, "Are you ready?"

"Yeah." Compared with Wu Xiu's excitement and anticipation, Tan Li was calm as if it had nothing to do with her.

Wu Xiu: "Then let's go down, it's time to let everyone know that you are the real daughter of the Tan family."

When the two appeared at the corner of the spiral staircase, the whole audience fell silent at the same time.

Everyone saw Wu Xiu holding the arm of a young girl whom she had never seen before, showing no sign of intimacy.

The girl she was holding had

extremely cold eyes and looked down upon everyone. Even her gorgeous makeup and clothes could not hide the alienation in her eyes. Indistinctly, one could smell a sticky smell of blood.

…

Logically speaking, everyone present was a person who had the final say in society and was used to being the chess player who decided life and death.

But for a moment, everyone felt a chill in their hearts, and they all avoided Tan Li's sight and dared not look at her.

Tan Li narrowed her eyes: This crystal lamp is really dazzling from this angle.

Tan Pei, who was on the first floor, was stunned. He couldn't believe that he was shocked by Tan Li's aura just now.

…She was so suppressed by a look from a girl in her early 20s that she couldn’t move her limbs. It would be too embarrassing to tell others about it

. As if they had a telepathic connection, the guests present were all very alert and determined not to reveal any abnormality.

Tan Li saw the group of people downstairs with their eyes wide open like bells, their backs tense, and they dared not breathe loudly. A question mark slowly popped up in her mind -

what's going on, little brothers? Are the rich so arrogant? Didn't they even show her some learning materials?

Wu Xiu didn't notice the strangeness of the guests on the first floor, and excitedly walked down the stairs with Tan Li.

She picked up a champagne glass and tapped it lightly with a silver spoon.

"Ding——"

The crisp sound attracted everyone's attention. Wu Xiu turned sideways and let Tan Li stand in the most conspicuous position.

"Let me introduce to you all, Tan Li, my biological daughter, the only jewel in the palm of the Tan family."

Guests: ... ???

???

!!!

In an instant, everyone's eyes were either implicitly or blatantly cast on Tan Xinman in the shadow of the corner.

Before Tan Xinman had any reaction, Ying Xu couldn't stand it anymore and jumped up. He stood in front of Tan Xinman and blocked all the scrutiny for her.

If Tan Xinman hadn't held him tightly behind him, Ying Xu would have rushed up to fight with everyone.

... The second young master of the Ying family, can't afford to offend.

Thinking of this, everyone's eyes returned to Tan Li and Wu Xiu again.

Tan Pei walked to Wu Xiu's side without knowing when, and gently put his arm around her shoulders. "Because of some accidents, the child was accidentally lost when she was young. In order to pray for her, my husband and I later adopted Xinman as an adopted daughter, and we also hope that the child can meet a good family as well."

"Over the years, Xiuxiu and I have never given up looking for this child. God helps those who work hard. More than 20 years have passed, and we finally found her."

"Today, I want to announce to you all here that our biological daughter, Tan Li, is back."

This set of words was thought up by Tan Pei. He wanted to blur the truth of the exchange of the real and fake daughters, and to transition Tan Xinman's identity to a legally recognized adopted daughter, so as to minimize the stock price fluctuations that might be caused by public opinion.

Although it sounded fake, coming from the mouth of a man like Tan Pei, even if others suspected the truth, they would not be able to make any waves under the premise of the official conclusion.

At first, Wu Xiu and Tan Xinman disagreed.

Wu Xiu felt that she did not have the energy to take care of the two of them, so she could only harden her heart and give Tan Li 100%.

Tan Xinman, on the other hand, believed that she had to bear at least half of the blame for the instigator, and did not want to use such ambiguous words to avoid the price she should pay.

But when they knew that the other party did not agree with Tan Pei's statement, they all kept silent.

In the end, Tan Li made the final decision, saying that this statement was fine.

At that time, facing the persuasion of Wu Xiu and Tan Xinman, Tan Li only said one sentence -

"Compared to what you think is good, I care more about whether my dividends will be affected."

That was the money she planned to give to Ah Heng to make the game where Le Tong was working better and better. There can't be any mistakes!

Absolute kill.

Tan Pei recalled that Wu Xiu and Tan Xinman, who he couldn't convince no matter what, fell into deep thought because of Tan Li's words. Thinking of Tan Li's demeanor on the stairs just now, the sense of violation in his heart became stronger.

For the first time, he seriously thought about what kind of person this biological daughter who he hadn't seen for more than 20 years was, and what she had experienced to become what she is now.

Is there a Tan Li that he doesn't know at all hidden under those cold investigation words?

"At the same time, I will transfer all the shares of my Wujia Group to my daughter." After Tan Pei finished speaking, Wu Xiu suddenly added a sentence.

Tan Pei:!

He was completely unaware of Wu Xiu's plan.

At the same time, the guests present had different thoughts.

The fat meat that was not eaten that year is back again? And compared to Wu Xiu, who grew up in gold and jade, Tan Li, who was lost in childhood and then found in adulthood, should be easier to control. For

a moment, the weight of Tan Li, a real daughter, in the eyes of the people was completely different from what it was just now.

Profits move people's hearts, and this group of people have completely forgotten the fear that Tan Li brought to their hearts just now.

As for Tan Li, who they regarded as fat meat, she was too lazy to socialize with people. As soon as Tan Pei and Wu Xiu finished introducing her, she found a comfortable sofa nearby and sat down.

She crossed her legs, allowing people around her to spy on her, and she just held her chin in her hand and stared blankly.

A girl walked towards her, "Hi, we meet again."

Tan Li didn't even raise her head and continued to stare blankly.

However, the other party did not retreat because of Tan Li's indifference, but sat next to her.

"Do you still remember me?" The girl smiled sweetly and spoke in an intimate tone.

Tan Li saw that she seemed to be planning to talk for a long time, so she turned her head and said, "Remember, Fu Yunyun."

Fu Yunyun was surprised, "Great, I thought you had forgotten me."

Tan Li: If you weren't so prominent in the book, I would have forgotten.

"Congratulations," Fu Yunyun looked as if she and Tan Li had been good friends for many years, "You have found your biological parents, and you can finally be reunited as a family."

Tan Li held her chin with her hands, but her eyes were more interested than before: Come on, start your performance!

Fu Yunyun was quick to notice Tan Li's weirdness, but...

"Come to think of it, you must have had a hard time these years." She seemed to feel sorry for Tan Li, "It's a pity that your uncle and aunt didn't find you earlier, otherwise you would have grown up as a real phoenix with thousands of pampers."

"Alas..." Fu Yunyun sighed after many twists and turns, "What a pity."

She said with regret, "What a trick of fate, the real phoenix is ​​stranded outside, and the fake phoenix enjoys everything in her place."

"Luckily, aunt and uncle finally found you. You will definitely get back everything that belongs to you."

After saying that, Fu Yunyun secretly used her peripheral vision to look at Tan Li's expression...

but she saw Tan Li shaking her head in disappointment, "You are not that good at provoking people."

What kind of black-hearted vicious woman is circling around Tan Xinman like a poisonous snake? The book of life has overrated Fu Yunyun.

Fu Yunyun: ...?

Tan Li said righteously, "Don't expect me to help you deal with Tan Xinman, she is the best employee in my family."

Tan Xinman, who had just approached: ???
