The Tan Family.

After Old Master Tan was discharged from the hospital, he had been recuperating at home. He lay on a recliner in his garden, full of sadness.
“Old Master, you have to take care of your health and stop thinking about those nonsense things.”

The old butler, Tan Er, who was by the side looked at Old Master Tan who sighed repeatedly. He seemed upset.

“Tan Er, I have lived for more than half my life already. Why did I break up my family?”

Old Master Tan had been thinking about this problem. When he was young, he had always wanted to give his children and wife the best life. Unexpectedly, his wife passed away early when he grew old. She didn’t enjoy any of the glory or wealth, and her children weren’t obedient even when they were old.
They fought so hard for this little bit of money.

“Old Master, Young Master and Young Miss just have a slight disagreement. They are still family and it isn’t as serious as you say.”
Tan Er covered Old Master Tan with a blanket thoughtfully and comforted him.

“Family? Hmph! I think this family will be ruined without me around! I’ve been waiting for Shilin to become successful. My first son doesn’t care about anything and travels the world with his wife. He hasn’t given birth to a grandson either and is always causing trouble. Siwen is a good child, but she is a
girl after all and will be getting married in the future. This family is supported by Hu Hui alone, how can that be?”

Old Master Tan was worried. He had always wanted a grandson to succeed the family business, but there had been no news of Hu Hui getting pregnant and Tan Shilin was a letdown. Seeing himself getting older and his family being in such a mess, how could he be at ease?

“Old Master, don’t worry! Other people at your age would have been bedridden and wouldn’t have been able to move. You’re the only one of your generation who’s still so healthy. Sooner or later, you’ll have a grandson.”

Tan Er comforted him.

“Don’t comfort me. Shilin is always fooling around outside and Hu Hui is busy with the business. She wouldn’t be in the mood to have children, just so that I can have grandchildren.”

Just then, Hu Hui strode in.

“Dad, I’m back.”

Hu Hui walked to the garden, wanting to say something but hesitated.

Old Master Tan looked at her troubled expression and knew she had something to say.

He was the first to speak.

“Xiaohui, I was ill a few days ago and didn’t tell you. Don’t throw a tantrum with Shilin anymore. I didn’t treat you as an outsider. Those words were spoken in anger. You have been married into the Tan Family for so many years, I have long treated you as my biological daughter.

You have been managing the Tan family and Tan family’s businesses both internally and externally over the years. It all depends on you since Shilin is a disappointment. I know it’s been hard on you. I didn’t misjudge you back then. You are a good businesswoman and even if you end up with a
disappointing husband, it’s my fault for failing to discipline him. Don’t take my words to heart, I’m old and the family relies on you now.

Also why did you give the company’s power to Siwen? She is still a young girl. She is new and doesn’t know anything, making her easy to deceive. You will have to take care of her.”
Old Master Tan apologized first to express his sincerity. He thought that Hu Hui’s heart must have cooled since she handed over the power. Hence, he spoke these words to silence her.
Hu Hui smiled.

“Dad, back then, my family was poor and had no choice but to set up a stall outside. You found me. I admit that all these years, I have treated you like my biological father. I treated the Tan Family as my own home, but I didn’t understand until last time that I was wrong. Later on, I thought it through and
realized that it wasn’t a big deal.

Hence, I want to divorce Tan Shilin. Over the years, I knew that he doesn’t love me at all and I didn’t give birth to a boy or a girl for him. So I’m taking the initiative to leave the Tan Family. I have handed the divorce agreement to him. I will also print out a copy of the contents for you. If you have no
objections, I will move out in two days.”

Hu Hui was determined. This was something she had been thinking about for several days.
“Young Madam, don’t be silly! I, Tan Er, have been in the Tan Family for so many years. It is equivalent to watching Young Madam grow up step by step. How can Young Madam just leave like that? Old Master will be upset.”

Tan Er had been following Old Master Tan since he was young and had watched Hu Hui enter the family for many years. She was like his family. He couldn’t accept Hu Hui suddenly wanting to leave the Tan Family, not to mention the old master.

“Xiaohui, how could you divorce Shilin? Did he make you angry again and treat you badly? What happened? Tell me, I’ll talk to him, you can’t leave.”

Old Master Tan stood up from his recliner agitatedly and spoke with a sorrowful expression.

Hu Hui could be said to be the pillar of the Tan Family. As he grew older, he could only think theoretically and would have to rely on her for the details. He wouldn’t be at ease leaving it to others.

“Dad, I have decided. I’m here today to inform you that I’m divorcing Tan Shilin. I want to take 5% of the Tan Family’s total shares, which is 40% higher than the previous shares I held. I’m willing to leave the remaining 35% of the Tan Family’s total shares.
Consider this a reward for all the years I’ve worked in the Tan Family.

The rest of the savings were my private savings, and not a single cent is from the Tan Family. Since Tan Shilin didn’t agree, I could only come to find you. I believe that Dad is sensible. A few days ago, Dad saw the lipstick mark on Tan Shilin’s body. I can tolerate his dislike and coldness towards me, but I
cant tolerate his betrayal.

Tl pack up and move out. I have found a house, but I need your approval for the shares. I didn’t do anything to let the Tan Family down. I hope you can understand.”
Hu Hui’s words shocked Old Master Tan.

He didn’t expect Hu Hui to be so resolute, even though she had stayed in the Tan Family for so many years. He thought she would at least have some feelings of respect for him.

“Xiaohui, think about it again. If you agree to not divorce, these things will be yours and no one will fight with you for them. The Tan Family is in a crisis now, we can’t live without you.”

Old Master Tan knew her importance and would not let her go easily.

Just then, Tan Shilin ran over from behind, panting.

“Dad, you can’t agree to this. Everything is ours and she can leave the marriage with nothing if she wants a divorce. Why should she take the Tan Family’s money?”

“Shut up, you unfilial son! Your wife wants to divorce you, but you don’t seem to have any intention of stopping her. All you know is money, money, money. Doesn’t she earn all the money in the house? All you know is to spend all the money in the house to find women.
You’ve embarrassed me so much and yet, you haven’t sired a grandson for me. You’re always causing trouble and are worse than your niece.”

Old Master Tan cursed angrily.

“Is it that easy to have a child? Anyway, I don’t care, we definitely can’t give her the money. We can get a divorce, but we can’t give her the money. Dad, I can find someone else to give birth to a grandson for you at any time.”

Tan Shilin started to have thoughts of bringing Liu Xixi home.

Old Master Tan was furious and slapped Tan Shilin.

Slap!

Tan Shilin held his burning right cheek and looked at his father in disbelief.

“B*stard! Can you find a random woman to give birth to your child? The Tan Family wants someone who can be of help to the Tan Family. Do you think those women outside deserve to be taken home? Have you forgotten your identity?”

Old Master Tan lectured him while Tan Shilin lowered his head, not daring to speak..
