Meanwhile, in the capital city, inside the antique-style study of the Tang family.
An elderly man, over seventy years old but still vigorous, sat in an exquisitely carved recliner, glaring at Tang Yi with a look of exasperation, and scolded him:
"You bastard, are you trying to drive me crazy? I sent you to S City to expand the market and make a difference, and what do you do? You come back and tell me you're going to marry a divorced woman. Do you even respect me? Or are you really trying to drive me crazy so I can reunite with your deadbeat father as soon as possible?"
The old man was none other than Tang Junshan, the chairman of the entire Tang Group and Tang Yi's grandfather.
Tang Yi stood up straight and said, "Grandpa, I'm going back to the capital to tell you this news to inform you, not to ask for your opinion."
"you!"
Tang Junshan's face turned pale, and he picked up the pen holder on the table and threw it at Tang Yi, clearly very angry.
"Get lost! You brat! I don't want to hear your nonsense. If you already have a plan, why are you telling this old man?"
Tang Yi neither dodged nor moved. Although the pen holder hit him, it didn't hurt. He bent down, picked up the pen holder from the ground, and put it back in its original position.
"Grandpa, I plan to go to the Ye family to propose marriage next month."
"You brat!"
Tang Junshan: "What about Shuyao? That little girl has waited for you for so many years. You just say you won't marry her? How are you going to explain this to the Wang family?"
"Grandpa, outsiders may not know, but don't you know too? I have no engagement with Wang Shuyao at all. She's waiting for me? What is she waiting for me for?"
"You bastard!" Tang Junshan glared angrily. "Look at the things you're saying! I personally promised Old Wang back then that you would marry Shuyao as your granddaughter-in-law. How can you go back on your word?"
Tang Yi said helplessly, "Grandpa, that was your promise, not mine! I was not even ten years old back then, and you made the decision on your own without even asking my opinion! Whether you agreed or not back then, this marriage is invalid!"
Tang Junshan pointed at Tang Yi, his hand trembling with anger, "Well, well! You've grown wings and dare to challenge me now, huh?"
"Grandpa, that's not what I meant. I've always only felt brotherly affection for Shuyao, not romantic love. You should understand that forced love is never sweet." Tang Yi explained patiently, afraid that the old man would faint from anger.
Tang Junshan, panting heavily, glared at Tang Yi.
"Fine! You want to marry that divorced woman, right? Fine! But unless you can acquire 51% of the Tang Group's shares and become the true power holder, don't even think about it!"
Tang Yi was determined to succeed and become the true power holder of the Tang Group; this had always been his goal.
"Grandpa, you said it yourself, so don't go back on your word later."
"Hmph! A word I say is a word I cannot take back!"
Tang Yi turned and left the study. Tang Junshan picked up the phone on the table and called Zhao, Tang Yi's assistant, directly.
"Xiao Zhao, send me that girl from the Ye family. I want to see what kind of bewitching potion she's given this brat, making him so infatuated that he insists on marrying her!"
————————
That evening, Tang Yi registered a new account and posted a message online.
"I have no engagement with the Wang family's daughter. Our two families only have ordinary contact. Please stop creating rumors."
Furthermore, Tang Yi added, "As for the girlfriend I've chosen in my heart, there's only one, and that's Ye Huanhuan. There won't be any other woman besides her."
This news caused a huge uproar as soon as it was released. Many people on the internet started shipping him and Ye Huanhuan as a couple, saying that the two were a perfect match.
Wow, so sweet! I'm definitely shipping this couple.
"I never expected Tang Shao to be so affectionate. I envy their love."
"Waaaaah~ This is so touching! I hope they can be happy forever."
However, many people expressed their incomprehension and doubt about Tang Yi's behavior.
"Has Tang Shao gone mad? He's giving up such an outstanding star like Wang Shuyao and actually prefers a divorced woman."
"What kind of spell did Ye Huanhuan cast on Tang Shao? How could he be so devoted to him?"
"What a pity that a man like Young Master Tang would fall for a divorced woman."
Various opinions emerged one after another, causing a great uproar.
At this moment, Ye Huanhuan was sitting on the sofa in the living room on the first floor, looking at the Weibo post Tang Yi had made on her phone screen. She immediately recalled the words Tang Yi had whispered in her ear when they were at Xiyuan: "All I want is you." Her heart fluttered.
Good heavens, how can this man be so good at this?
She felt like she was really about to lose control!
"Huanhuan, are you serious about Tang Shao?"
Gao Yalan's voice suddenly rang out from behind Ye Huanhuan, interrupting Ye Huanhuan's thoughts.
She immediately snapped out of her daze and subconsciously replied, "Mom, there's nothing between Tang Shao and me. Those messages online are all rumors. Please don't believe them."
"I think Young Master Tang might really care about you, but..."
Gao Yalan looked down at Ye Huanhuan's stomach, a worried expression on her face, and then said:
"The child in your belly... If Young Master Tang knew, would he accept it?"
Upon hearing Gao Yalan's words, Ye Huanhuan couldn't help but gently stroke her slightly protruding belly, a strange feeling welling up inside her.
