Tang Yi ignored Tang Lian's sarcastic remarks and instead looked steadily at Tang Junshan, speaking sincerely:
"Grandpa, Huanhuan is pregnant with my child. I have to be responsible for the child, and even more so for the person I love. You can hit me or scold me, no matter what, I will stay with Huanhuan."
Tang Junshan's expression changed instantly. He looked shocked and said, "What did you say? This girl is carrying our Tang family's child?"
Tang Lian seemed stunned by the news as well. "Impossible! Isn't this woman carrying her ex-husband's child? He even did a live stream of it online. How could it be you? Are you out of your mind to become someone's father?"
Ye Huanhuan took out a paternity test report from her bag and placed it in front of Tang Junshan.
"Grandpa, this is the paternity test report. The child in my belly is Tang Yi's. If you don't believe me, you can have another test done."
After saying that, she walked to Tang Yi's side and helped him up.
Tang Yi stood up and said to Tang Junshan, "Grandpa, this is the reason why I must marry Huanhuan."
"How could this be..."
This sudden news left Tang Junshan somewhat stunned. He picked up the report and began to read it carefully.
Tang Lian also came over and stared at the report with Tang Junshan.
Tang Junshan's hands trembled slightly as he stared incredulously at the report in front of him.
"What exactly is going on?" Tang Junshan finally asked.
Tang Yi took a deep breath and briefly told Tang Junshan what had happened.
However, his version of events was that he got drunk and forced himself on Ye Huanhuan. When he later found Ye Huanhuan, she discovered that she was pregnant.
Upon hearing this, Tang Junshan was so angry that his beard bristled and his eyes widened. He grabbed his cane and struck Tang Yi's back several times, all the while cursing:
"You brat, you're only telling me about something this big now! What are you trying to do?! You've made me so angry! I haven't caught a single fish all morning, it's infuriating!"
Tang Yi didn't dodge, enduring the heavy blows without uttering a sound. Ye Huanhuan, watching from the side, felt a pang of heartache and couldn't help but say to Tang Junshan:
“Grandpa, I know you're very angry, but what's done is done, and there's no use in being angry. Tang Yi and I have now obtained our marriage certificate and are legally married. Although our Ye family is not as prominent as your Tang family, we are by no means a small or insignificant family. Although I was divorced before, that's all in the past. Modern people pursue freedom of marriage, and divorce is not something shameful. I haven't stolen, robbed, or done anything illegal, so why can't I be with Tang Yi?”
"snort!"
Tang Junshan snorted coldly. If it weren't for the fact that Ye Huanhuan was a girl, he would have been tempted to hit her with his cane.
Tang Lian sneered at Ye Huanhuan, her eyes filled with contempt and disdain: "Hmph, you woman, you've got a sharp tongue. You didn't steal or rob, but don't forget, you're a divorced woman. That's a stain that can never be erased, a nail that will be nailed to you for life, making you never able to hold your head up high. Don't you know how people outside are judging you? When you see those comments from netizens, don't you feel ashamed?"
Tang Junshan frowned slightly, but did not stop Tang Lian from continuing, because he knew in his heart that these words were actually what he wanted to say to Ye Huanhuan.
Tang Lian continued, "Besides, you keep saying that the child in your belly is a member of the Tang family, but so what? What's there to be proud of? The Tang family isn't a place where just any woman can enter. The best way to deal with a woman like you is to abort the child in your belly. Then, I'll see if you can still be so arrogant!"
Ye Huanhuan had naturally seen those negative comments online.
Isn't it just calling her a slut and a whore?
What else could it be?
People can say whatever they want to her; how can she control what others say about her?
Tang Yi quickly shielded Ye Huanhuan behind him and warned Tang Lian, "Uncle, Huanhuan is carrying my child. You dare to touch a hair on her head?"
Tang Lian smiled wickedly, looking exceptionally alluring. He looked at Tang Yi with a provocative gaze.
"Hey, nephew Tang Yi, are you getting anxious? I was just joking, why are you so nervous?"
Tang Yi glared sharply at Tang Lian, his tone carrying a hint of warning and threat, "Uncle, this joke isn't funny at all. You'd better watch your words and actions, or you'll scare my wife."
Ye Huanhuan stepped out from behind Tang Yi, her phoenix eyes fixed on Tang Lian, and said in a calm but powerful voice:
“Uncle, I understand the saying that public opinion can destroy even the strongest, but people can say whatever they want, and I can’t control what they say. Take you, for example. You live such a carefree life, and your reputation among outsiders isn’t good. Some people even spread rumors online that you have contracted an unclean disease. Does that mean that you have a disease just because people say that?”
Upon hearing Ye Huanhuan's words, Tang Lian's face immediately darkened, and his already wicked and arrogant face appeared even more sinister.
He glared at Ye Huanhuan, his eyes flashing with anger. "You little brat, how dare you talk to me like that? Do you know who I am? Don't think that just because I'm your nephew protecting you, I won't dare to touch you. You dare to walk alone on the streets of Beijing and see what happens?"
Before coming to the Tang family, Ye Huanhuan had done her homework thoroughly, and she now knows everything about the Tang family.
Ye Huanhuan did not back down in the face of Tang Lian's threat. She looked directly at Tang Lian and said:
“Uncle, of course I know who you are. You are the second young master of the Tang family and Tang Yi’s uncle. However, I do not believe you have the right to insult and attack me. Everyone has their own way of life and values. We should respect each other’s choices instead of judging and blaming others.”
Tang Lian laughed angrily, "Fine, what a sharp-tongued brat! I've learned my lesson!"
Tang Junshan scolded Tang Lian, "Alright! Say less!"
As he spoke, he looked at Ye Huanhuan, his displeasure clearly diminishing considerably. He coughed lightly twice and continued:
"Ye family girl, since Yi-ge'er has chosen you, you will be a member of the Tang family from now on. From now on, you should move to the capital to take care of your pregnancy, so that you can keep this old man company."
