Chapter 166 I can only choose one, so I choose her
"mom!"
Cheng Wanwan hurried into Han Yun's room. Han Yun was lying on the chaise longue and having a beauty treatment done by a beautician.
Cheng Wanwan asked the beautician to leave, leaving only the mother and daughter in the room.
Han Yun turned her head to look at her, "What's wrong, Wanwan? Why are you so flustered?"
"I discovered Cao Ma's secret!" She sat next to Han Yun and lowered her voice, "It's about her daughter!"
"Her daughter's secret?" Han Yun asked, "Isn't her daughter back home? What secret does she have?"
"Does Mrs. Cao only have one daughter and no other daughters?" Cheng Wanwan asked.
Han Yun thought for a moment, "Yes, she's about your age, born in the same year. She's been working in our family for so many years. I saw that she's very skillful and meticulous at work, and she doesn't need to go back home to take care of our children, so I kept her."
Hearing her say this, Cheng Wanwan quickly moved closer to Han Yun, "Auntie Cao's daughter is An Ning!"
"An Ning?" Han Yun exclaimed in surprise, "An Ning is Cao Han's daughter?"
"Shh!" Cheng Wanwan made a gesture to silence herself. "I just overheard it this morning. An Ning came to see Cao Ma, and I heard their conversation. It seemed like she was saying that An Ning was abandoned by Cao Ma not long after she was born. She was thrown quite far away, into the Dianhai Sea."
"She was thrown to Dianhai right after she was born?" Han Yun's eyes were filled with disbelief. "That's impossible. From south to north, who would abandon their newborn daughter so far away? You must have heard wrong."
"It's true! They said it themselves!" Cheng Wanwan was afraid that Han Yun wouldn't believe her, so she whispered, "Auntie Cao said she hated An Ning and scolded her so harshly that she abandoned her at birth. But how An Ning got the last name An, or how she came to Jinghai, no one knows."
"An Ning is Cao Han's lost daughter? How is that possible?" Han Yun found it more and more outrageous the more she listened. "Why would she abandon her own daughter? Why did she say last time that her daughter was at her uncle's house and that she was paying for her daughter's living expenses? Isn't that contradictory?"
"That's why I find it strange." Cheng Wanwan thought for a moment and asked hurriedly, "Mom, is Mother Cao planning to take advantage of our family?"
Han Yun thought for a moment and shook her head. "She's been in our family for decades. If she wanted to do something bad, she would have done it long ago. She wouldn't have waited until now. Besides, she's only been receiving her salary these years and doesn't want anything else."
She looked at Cheng Wanwan, "Besides, she's been so good to you. She's been so patient in bringing you up since you were little. She doesn't seem to have any bad intentions."
Then she added, "Okay, don't ask about this. Whether it's true or not, it's Cao Han's secret. She might have her own reasons for hiding it from us, and we can't say much. Just pretend you didn't hear it today and stop speculating."
"But I'm angry! Mother Cao was so good to me, how could she give birth to a woman like An Ning! She snatched Xiyan away six years ago, and six years ago she wanted to snatch Xiyan from me!" Cheng Wanwan gritted her teeth, "She deserves to be abandoned and unloved since childhood, and she has no upbringing!"
"Wanwan!" Han Yun interrupted her. "You can say such nasty things in front of me in the future, but never say them outside. There are so many eyes watching you and our Cheng family. If you say or do anything that is not in line with your status, the media will make a big fuss about it. It will affect your father's company and the entire Cheng family. Do you understand?"
"I know!" Cheng Wanwan said with dissatisfaction. If it were Cao's mother, she would not blame her, but would help her vent her anger and scold her even more harshly.
She stood up and turned away.
"Where are you going?" Han Yun called her.
"An Ning is back, Xi Yan must be back!" Cheng Wanwan strode out, "I'm going to find Xi Yan!"
Hearing her footsteps fade away, Han Yun sighed and shook his head.
"Why are you having Western banquets every day?"
......
"Bang!"
The water cup on the table was shaken away, making a deafening sound in the huge lobby.
Lu Lixiao's slap almost split the expensive mahogany table in half. He was furious, "Lu Xiyan! Are you crazy?"
"Didn't Grandpa ask me if I had thought it through?" Lu Xiyan stood in front of him, taking off his usual neat suit and wearing casual clothes, just like how he was four or five years ago before he took over the company.
His fingertips rested on the dark yellow envelope on the table, with the word "Resignation" written on it.
"I've made up my mind."
He tapped the resignation letter with his fingertips and said, "Mr. Lu, I came here today specifically to submit my resignation from the position of Chairman and Chief CEO of Oteng Group."
Looking at Lu Lixiao's increasingly gloomy face, he continued, "I will convene a shareholders' meeting as soon as possible and submit a written statement to the board of directors. I also hope that Director Lu will approve it."
After he finished speaking, Ji Xiu frowned slightly, knowing that the second young master had really stepped on the chairman's bottom line today.
Sure enough, the golf club in his hand was snatched away the next second.
Lu Lixiao was furious and raised his golf club to hit Lu Xiyan on the back.
"Lu Xiyan, you're rebelling!"
Lu Xiyan was hit hard on the back, and his straight back staggered forward. His hands hanging at his sides were clenched into fists. He clenched his teeth, his face remained calm.
"Grandpa." He straightened his back and looked at Lu Lixiao, "I will withdraw from the Cheng family marriage. I must marry An Ning."
"How far are you going to go!" Lu Lixiao hit him on the back with the golf club again without mercy.
Lu Lixiao was originally doing morning golf exercises on the golf course. When he heard that the second young master was coming, he thought that Lu Xiyan would have figured it out after kneeling in the ancestral hall, so he hurried over by car from the golf course.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xiyan, this bastard, handed him a letter of resignation, which was enough to make him angry to death!
"For a woman, you gave up the Lu family? You gave up the company?" Lu Lixiao was furious. "What kind of magic potion did she feed you?"
"Grandpa, I will never forget the path you have planned for me and the blueprint you want to realize for the Lu family."
Lu Xiyan's back was straight, his eyes still calm. "But on this road I want to go down, in my future, there can't be no peace. I can sacrifice other things, but I absolutely cannot lose her."
He fixed his eyes on Lu Lixiao's angry ones and said, "If I can only choose one, then I choose her."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Lixiao raised his hand and hit him on the back with the club again, pointing the club at him and asking sternly, "Do you really want to marry her? Do you really want to be the father of someone else's child?"
"Yes! I want to marry her! I want to marry her!"
Lu Xiyan met his gaze and said, "Even if she's divorced and has children, I'll still marry her as a first marriage! I don't think she's any worse than any other rich girl or celebrity. In my heart, no one can compare to her!"
“If you don’t allow her to enter the Lu family, I can leave the Lu family.”
"If you think she's not good enough for me, I'll make her worthy!"
Lu Xiyan said it bluntly, straightening his back. "If you've had enough of fighting and are ready to vent your anger, I'll leave first."
After saying that, he turned around and strode away, ignoring Lu Lixiao's anger.
"Western Banquet!"
As soon as I walked out of the lobby, a soft voice sounded behind me.
He paused slightly and looked sideways. Cheng Wanwan was standing behind him with tears streaming down her face.
"What about me?" she asked. "Are you going to regret the engagement, break off the engagement, and leave me alone to face all those rumors?"
Her eyes were red. "I have liked you since I was a child. What does this twenty-eight-year relationship mean?"
