Zhao Xinran's words were clearly intended to sow discord.
If Tang Yi is a traditional man who favors sons over daughters, then Zhao Xinran's words hit the nail on the head, and conflicts between the couple are inevitable.
Just as Ye Huanhuan was about to retort, Tang Yi, who was sitting next to her, spoke up:
"Auntie, whether Huanhuan is carrying a boy or a girl, I will love her. As for the Tang family's business, you don't need to worry about it for now. If you're bored, you can go and check on Uncle. Over the years, he's accumulated quite a few romantic entanglements! Maybe some of those women have already secretly given birth to his children and are waiting for a chance to come back and acknowledge their ancestry!"
"Tang Yi, what nonsense are you spouting? I didn't do such a thing!"
Tang Lian slammed her hand on the table, a hint of panic flashing across her face, and immediately denied it.
Zhao Xinran chimed in sarcastically, "That's right! Tang Yi, don't talk nonsense. Your uncle is the most sensible one, unlike some people who just bring a woman home and get married without even consulting their families."
Dong Shuying coughed lightly, her face darkening, and said seriously:
“Yi-ge’er, you can’t just say things without evidence. It’s easy to damage the relationship between your uncle and aunt.”
Her voice carried a hint of warning, and her eyes sharpened.
Tang Yi's lips curled slightly, a mocking smile playing on his lips as he looked at the three people before him.
"Who says I have no evidence? Uncle, have you ever heard the saying, 'If you don't want others to know, then don't do it in the first place'?"
Tang Lian's heart tightened, and a hint of guilt flashed in his eyes. But worried that someone would notice something was amiss, his gaze immediately turned fierce.
"Tang Yi, stop spouting nonsense!"
Tang Yi said calmly, "Whether I'm making false accusations or not, Uncle, don't you know best in your heart?"
Dong Shuying's expression changed slightly. She stared intently at Tang Yi, seemingly trying to find a flaw in his expression. However, Tang Yi's expression remained calm and composed, revealing nothing.
Zhao Xinran's face instantly turned extremely gloomy. She glanced at Tang Lian, but Tang Lian's eyes were full of panic and guilt, and he didn't dare to meet her gaze at all.
Seeing Tang Lian's reaction, Zhao Xinran felt as if she had been punched hard in the heart.
Could it really be as Tang Yi said, that bastard Tang Lian had a child with her behind her back?
Looking at Tang Yi's confident expression, she became even more certain of her guess.
She couldn't help but curse inwardly: It's true! That bastard! Didn't we agree to each do our own thing and not get pregnant? Does Tang Lian even respect me or the Zhao family?
Zhao Xinran gritted her teeth, suppressing her anger. She decided to remain calm for now and investigate further when she got back.
She had originally intended to cause trouble for Ye Huanhuan, but now she had no such intention at all.
"Enough, all of you, shut up!"
At this moment, Tang Junshan spoke up: "It's rare for the whole family to get together, can't we just have a happy meal together?"
After these words were spoken, everyone fell silent, and the meal ended in an awkward atmosphere.
After the family dinner, Tang Junshan kept Tang Yi and Ye Huanhuan behind. The three of them took a leisurely stroll in the courtyard to digest their food, and Tang Junshan asked them about their plans.
Although the two have registered their marriage, they haven't held a wedding yet. Tang Yi is, after all, the heir to the Tang Group, and the wedding should be a grand affair to reflect the Tang family's status.
He is getting old, and his only wish now is to see his children grow up, start their own families, and build their careers.
Ye Huanhuan and Tang Yi exchanged a glance, and then told Tang Junshan about their original plan. Tang Junshan frowned upon hearing this, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
Tang Yi knew that Tang Junshan was unhappy, so he quickly said:
"Grandpa, don't worry. Once the baby is born and Huanhuan has recovered, we will definitely hold a wedding of the century and invite everyone to come and celebrate."
Tang Junshan sighed and said, "You young people have your own ideas, and I, an old man, can't say much. But I hope you can remember that marriage is not a game. Since you've decided to be together, you should cherish each other."
Tang Yi and Ye Huanhuan smiled and nodded to indicate that they understood.
Tang Junshan then looked at Ye Huanhuan and said earnestly:
"Huanhuan, you're a member of the Tang family now. If that brat Tang Yi dares to bully you, just tell Grandpa, and Grandpa will definitely teach him a lesson!"
Ye Huanhuan was deeply moved. It seemed that Tang Junshan had completely accepted her as his granddaughter-in-law.
She nodded and replied, "I understand, Grandpa. Tang Yi is very good to me. He won't bully me."
"That's good."
Tang Junshan nodded in satisfaction, a relieved smile appearing on his face. "Grandpa is getting old, and I don't know how much longer I can live. If I can see Yi Ge'er's child grow up in my lifetime, then this old man will have no regrets when I die. When I go to the underworld, I can give Yi Ge'er's parents an explanation."
Upon hearing this, Tang Yi frowned slightly and immediately interrupted Tang Junshan: "Grandpa, you mustn't say that! You're in good health; you can live at least another twenty years."
Tang Junshan: "Alright, alright, I won't say anymore, as long as you don't mind this old man."
Ye Huanhuan laughed and said, "Grandpa, how could we dislike it! We're overjoyed. When my baby is born, we'll be counting on you to help take care of him/her."
"Okay, okay!"
Tang Junshan became much happier when he talked about the baby that was about to be born.
"Alright, Huanhuan, you've had a long day, go and get some rest."
"Thank you, Grandpa! You should get some rest too."
After Ye Huanhuan and Tang Yi helped Tang Junshan back to his room, they went back to their own courtyard together.
Back in the room, Ye Huanhuan couldn't help but ask, "Honey, do you really have evidence that your brother-in-law has a child out of wedlock?"
Tang Yi smiled and shook his head: "Of course not. But it's not surprising that someone as womanizing as my uncle would have illegitimate children. I just said that on purpose to avoid them causing us trouble."
Ye Huanhuan looked worried: "If you do this and they really find out something, your uncle and aunt will definitely not let it go."
"Don't worry, I have my own way of dealing with it. If they dare to do anything reckless, I won't be polite."
"Okay, then. But we still need to be careful, after all, they are our elders." Ye Huanhuan nodded.
Tang Yi pulled Ye Huanhuan into his arms and said gently, "Okay, I understand. It's getting late, let's get some rest."
