Last night, Ye Huanhuan and Tang Yi stayed up until midnight again, while Zhao Xinran tossed and turned, unable to sleep. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She immediately called a private investigator, determined to find out if that bastard Tang Lian had cheated on her with another woman and fathered a child out of wedlock!
If there really is an illegitimate child, then their marriage is completely over, and there's no point in continuing it.
After all, they had agreed on three rules when they got married, and Tang Lian's current behavior is a complete breach of those rules.
The next morning.
Tang Yi needed to return to the Tang Group to hand over the project in S City, so he went to the Tang Group headquarters early in the morning.
Ye Huanhuan was still asleep when her phone rang, waking her up. She groggily answered the phone and heard Wang Shuyao's excited voice:
"Ye Huanhuan, I took the day off today to show you around Beijing. Get up quickly, I'm already at your Tang family's house."
After tidying up briefly, Ye Huanhuan went to the main hall. As soon as she entered, she saw Wang Shuyao and Zhao Xinran chatting enthusiastically.
Hearing footsteps, the two turned to look at the doorway simultaneously. Seeing Ye Huanhuan appear, Zhao Xinran smiled, her attitude completely different from yesterday, and spoke to Ye Huanhuan in a gentle and kind manner:
"Niece-in-law, after Xinyan returned to the Zhao family yesterday, I made her reflect on her actions. She promised she would never speak ill of you in front of so many people again. It's not easy for you to come back to the Tang family. How about your aunt treats you and Shuyao to a nice meal and go shopping later?"
Ye Huanhuan looked at Zhao Xinran and couldn't help but wonder what this woman was up to.
However, one shouldn't hit a smiling face, especially since the other party is an elder. Even if one has doubts, one should still put on a show of politeness.
So she smiled slightly and politely declined:
"Thank you for your kindness, Auntie, but I think it's better to decline. Shuyao is enough for me. You must have other things to do, and I don't want to trouble you."
Zhao Xinran shook her head and said sincerely, "Hey, niece-in-law, you're being too formal. We're all family, and no matter how busy we are, family should come first. Xinyan offended you yesterday, and she felt very guilty after she went back. She really wanted to meet you to apologize properly. As her older sister, I can't just ignore it. Please give me the honor of showing you around and maybe we can get to know each other better, okay?"
Wang Shuyao glanced at Ye Huanhuan and then at Zhao Xinran, somewhat confused about what had happened. However, she clearly noticed Ye Huanhuan's resistance and said to Zhao Xinran:
"Xinran, I'm here, that's enough. You should go and take care of your own things."
Zhao Xinran's face stiffened slightly, a hint of displeasure in her eyes, but she quickly composed herself and feigned hurt as she looked at Wang Shuyao and Ye Huanhuan, saying:
"Shuyao, we've been best friends for so many years. You're always so busy, and we haven't seen each other in ages. Today, we finally managed to meet, and I specially chose 'Siyinju' to take you two to try their pastries."
Siyinju is a renowned high-end restaurant in Beijing, famous for its exquisite dim sum. The dim sum here is not only beautiful in appearance, but also has an exceptional taste that leaves a lasting impression.
However, due to its immense popularity, even the wealthiest and most powerful individuals must make a reservation a month in advance to sample the dim sum here.
When Wang Shuyao heard "Siyinju," she immediately hesitated. Originally, she had also wanted to take Ye Huanhuan to this restaurant for a proper meal, but unfortunately, she had been unable to make a reservation despite trying for a long time.
"You really managed to book a reservation at Siyinju?"
Zhao Xinran nodded. "That's right, would I lie to you?"
Wang Shuyao thought for a moment, then said to Ye Huanhuan, "Ye Huanhuan, let's go together. The dim sum at this restaurant is really good. You rarely come to the capital, you should try it."
Zhao Xinran added, "Yes, niece-in-law, Xinyan is still waiting to apologize to you."
Although Ye Huanhuan didn't know what Zhao Xinran was up to, she figured that in front of everyone, the woman probably wouldn't do anything to her.
Moreover, since Wang Shuyao had already spoken, she nodded and reluctantly agreed, "In that case, let's go together."
Upon hearing Ye Huanhuan agree, a hint of smugness flashed across Zhao Xinran's face. She had been worried that Ye Huanhuan would refuse, but she didn't expect her to agree so quickly.
The three of them went out together. Zhao Xinran called the Tang family's driver, who drove a luxury van.
Along the way, Zhao Xinran chatted enthusiastically with Ye Huanhuan, trying to get closer to her.
Ye Huanhuan remained vigilant, though; she understood the principle that something unusual must be amiss.
Therefore, her attitude was always indifferent, polite yet distant, leaving no room for criticism.
Shortly after, the car stopped in front of Siyinju.
"We're here, let's go inside," Zhao Xinran said, gesturing for the two to get out of the car.
Upon entering the restaurant, Ye Huanhuan and Wang Shuyao were stunned by its luxurious decor.
The capital city truly lives up to its name; it looks significantly more upscale than S City.
Zhao Xinran led them to a private room, where Zhao Xinyan had been waiting for a long time.
She first greeted Wang Shuyao, then turned to Ye Huanhuan and sincerely apologized to her:
"Sister Huanhuan, I'm sorry. I was wrong yesterday. I shouldn't have asked Brother Yi that kind of question in front of so many people."
Ye Huanhuan felt something was off, but seeing Zhao Xinyan's sincere expression, she could only smile and reply:
