Chapter 4
Tan Xinman's eyes flushed, "I, I didn't hear anything... I didn't mean to eavesdrop... I, I..."
She subconsciously looked at Wu Xiu, the person she had called mother for more than 20 years.
But Wu Xiu was burned by her look of seeking help, and turned her head away, not letting her struggling heart fall on Tan Xinman.
The child she raised with her own hands was like a pearl and a treasure. Tan Xinman was her daughter who she doted on and was proud of for more than 20 years. How could she not feel distressed when she saw her like this now?
But, but...
When she thought of how Tan Li grew up alone in an orphanage, how she and Tan Pei took Tan Xinman to the playground to play all day, Tan Li was alone in the orphanage, how she and Tan Pei held a birthday party for Tan Xinman, how she was alone in the orphanage, how she and Tan Pei went to attend Tan Xinman's parents' meeting, how she was still alone in the orphanage... When
she thought of all this, Wu Xiu had only one thought: as long as Tan Li was happy, it didn't matter if she was the evil person.
It was never a difficult choice, Tan Li was her only treasure.
Tan Xinman's expectant eyes fell to the ground. She took a deep breath and showed a smile that was uglier than crying, "I'll move..."
Tan Pei, who followed, heard this and his face darkened. He was just about to speak -
Tan Li: "Just live like this."
"I don't care, or do you want to move out?"
Tan Xinman shook her head blankly.
Tan Li was slightly puzzled, "That's it, isn't our family very rich? It's not that we can't afford to support one more person, right?"
Could the broken novel of the main god space be a lie to her? If the Tan family was not a world-class wealthy family, do you believe that she would go back and crush the main god space to ashes?
The murderous aura in Tan Li's eyes flashed away, and she turned back to her plain and lazy look.
While Tan Xinman was still in a daze, Wu Xiu had already hugged Tan Li in surprise, "I knew it, I knew it! Our Dali is the best child in the world."
Huh?
After a moment, Tan Li felt the exposed shoulders were cold.
In a blink of an eye, she saw that Tan Xinman's red eyes finally shed a tear under the heavy burden, and Tan Li couldn't help but sigh——
[Both mother and daughter are crybabies, it's not easy for the old man. ]
Wu Xiu and Tan Xinman, crybabies, burst into tears, and Tan Pei, who was not easy, looked at Tan Li in confusion.
Wu Xiu slowly let go of Tan Li and looked at her in confusion.
Tan Xinman's red and swollen eyes had forgotten that she was still shedding tears the previous second, and she also looked at her in confusion. Facing
three pairs of doubtful eyes, Tan Li was more confused than them, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
After she closed her mouth, there was silence.
Wu Xiu shook her head and felt that she was really a little hallucinating, "It's okay, our Dali has finally come back, and mom can't see enough." "
Mom will take you to see your room, okay?"
Tan Li nodded.
But Tan Pei and Tan Xinman behind them had solemn expressions.
**
Tan Pei and Tan Xinman were thinking about their own things. Tan Li was warmly held by Wu Xiu's arm and led to a room on the second floor.
Judging from the structure of the house, it should not be the room with the best orientation on the second floor, but the decoration in the room is much more cozy than the previous castle, and it can be seen that the person who decorated it put a lot of thought into it.
It is not the kind of thought that only spends money, but the kind of thought that spends feelings.
Wu Xiu: "This is the room that Mom started to prepare after she knew...you and Xin Man were mistakenly married. I don't know if you like it."
"This bed took Mom a long time to choose. I wondered if you would like a princess lace bed, and then I wondered if you would be a cool girl who likes simple black and white. I also wondered if you would like fairy tale style. I thought about whether I should get you a mermaid shell bed."
Wu Xiu was amused by her own words. When she looked at Tan Li, she seemed to remember something from a long time ago. She felt sad and relieved. "Mom didn't know what you would like, and she was afraid that she would choose something you wouldn't like. But fortunately, now I have found you, and you can tell Mom what you like."
"If you don't like the style of this room, let's change it."
Tan Li: "I like it very much."
Although it's not the fancy and gorgeous style she wanted, it's... too warm.
From the material to the color, to the smell, this room is too warm, so warm that she can't say "no".
When Wu Xiu heard that Tan Li liked it, the corners of her mouth lifted up, "I'm glad you like it! I'm glad you like it!"
"Look at this lace curtain, it was woven by mom herself, isn't it amazing?"
Tan Li: "Amazing."
Wu Xiu's eyes sparkled, and she pointed to the cushion and doll on the sofa, "This cushion was also woven by mom herself, and the little bear, mom learned how to make them specifically for us Dali!"
Tan Li smiled, "I like it very much."
Wu Xiu stared at Tan Li's smile in a daze, and her joy was intertwined with a bitter feeling in her heart.
She finally saw her daughter smile from the bottom of her heart.
However, thinking of what she had just heard in the hallucination, Wu Xiu still resisted the urge to drop her little pearls. She pulled Tan Li and brought her to the cloakroom, "These are all the clothes that Mom picked for our Dali."
"Mom doesn't know our Dali's specific size, so she picked some loose ones." She paused here.
Wu Xiu glanced at the waisted dress on Tan Li and changed the subject, "These Dali can be worn as home clothes. We will go to the mall to buy some new clothes later. Dali, do you like skirts? Mom will take you to pick out some beautiful skirts later, okay?"
Tan Li nodded, "Okay."
She didn't need loose clothes, she just wanted those tight skirts or big skirts that were inconvenient to move around in and flashy.
Wu Xiu thought for a moment, "How about we get a beauty treatment together?"
Tan Li continued to nod, "Mom, you're so nice."
Wu Xiu thought about it and felt that she had probably grasped Tan Li's preferences.
Wu Xiu smiled and said, "Since you've bought a beautiful dress, you should also buy some jewelry to match it."
Even Tan Li felt a little embarrassed at this time, "I bought a lot of jewelry yesterday."
Wu Xiu shook her fingers, "How can you complain about too much jewelry? Yesterday's jewelry was yesterday's, and today's jewelry is today's. If you like it, you can continue to buy it tomorrow."
"Your father makes so much money, why doesn't he spend it?"
Wow -
Mom is generous!
**
At the same time, on the first floor.
Tan Pei did not ask Tan Xinman what she thought of Tan Li, but first asked about the result of her business trip to Ancheng this time.
Originally, as the only daughter of him and Wu Xiu, Tan Xinman was extremely concerned about her education since she was a child. After she grew up, he let her join the company. From the grassroots to the management level, Tan Xinman's growth has never disappointed him.
Tan Pei originally planned to hand over the management of the enterprise to Tan Xinman in two or three years at most after Tan Xinman graduated from university. As Tan Xinman became more organized and steady in her work, he gradually delegated power to Tan Xinman, allowing her to handle important projects of various branches and even the head office alone.
As he gradually progressed, the Tan Group was also convinced that the young crown princess Tan Xinman had taken the position.
Tan Pei originally thought that after Tan Xinman got the hang of things, he would take Wu Xiu to travel around the world. How wonderful it would be.
But who knew...
When he recalled the absurd past three years ago, even a shrewd man like Tan Pei couldn't help but pinch his brows.
The more satisfied he was with Tan Xinman as the heir, the more ridiculous the situation he faced at that time.
The road was paved, and the major shareholders of the group also recognized it. As soon as Tan Xinman graduated, the big ship of the Tan family would be handed over to the hands of the new generation of helmsmen. Tan Pei even secretly made a plan to travel around the world with Wu Xiu...
All because of that woman, everything had to be stopped abruptly.
But even so, Tan Xinman's identity as a fake daughter could not be made public casually. Regardless
of the fact that it was unclear at the time what the long-lost biological daughter was like, Tan Xinman, as the legal heir of the Tan family announced in public, has gradually gained reputation over the years. Once the scandal of the real and fake daughter is exposed, I am afraid that the stock price will fluctuate and the shareholders will be uneasy.
Therefore, Tan Pei kept the matter secret and the search for the real daughter Tan Li was also carried out under the surface.
Before finding Tan Li, although Wu Xiu had some grudges, after all, Tan Xinman was the daughter she raised by herself. How could the mother-daughter relationship of more than 20 years be wiped out with a simple sentence that she was not a biological daughter?
So over the years, Tan Xinman is still the perfect daughter of the Tan family, no different from usual, but the appointment letter of the general manager of the group has been temporarily shelved. Tan
Pei once discussed with Wu Xiu that even if the biological daughter was found by then, Tan Xinman could continue to stay at home. Their family is not without money. Not to mention one more daughter, even if there are ten more daughters, they can still support them.
But now...
Tan Pei recalled Wu Xiu's attitude just now, and he was a little doubtful, whether the discussion at that time still counted.
"Dad..."
Tan Xinman's call called Tan Pei's attention back, and he closed the report in his hand, "Very good, your work over the years has made Dad more and more assured."
Oh, how nice it would be if this was his own biological daughter.
Although Tan Pei felt sorry in his heart, he did not show it on his face. Tan Xinman looked at her father who had been omnipotent since she was a child, and subconsciously returned to the mentality of discussing problems with her father, "Dad, I just seemed to..."
She didn't know how to explain that she seemed to have heard what Tan Li said in her heart.
"Shh." Tan Pei's eyes deepened and stopped Tan Xinman from saying the next word.
"What are you two secretly talking about behind my back?" Wu Xiu stood at the corner of the stairs with her arm around Tan Li, pouting.
Tan Pei raised his hands, "No way, my dear wife, there is nothing that Manman and I can't tell you."
As he said that, he winked at Tan Xinman.
Tan Xinman quickly followed, "Yes, yes, mom, dad and I didn't whisper anything! Mom and I are the closest!"
Wu Xiu snorted, with a smile on her face, "Don't think I don't know what you two are doing behind my back."
Their interaction was natural as a family that has been close for more than 20 years.
[Wow, I feel like the evil woman who broke up this family.]
The three people present were stunned.
