When Love Turns the Tables: The Mysterious Husband's Chase

Chapter 272: Tang Yanqi’s Background (2)

Having a tasteless lunch, Tang Yanqi took a napkin and wiped the corner of her mouth, her eyes calm as she looked at Mrs. Sheng: "You were looking for me, is there something you need?"

Mrs. Sheng’s eyebrows raised, her eyes held a hint of disdain. She didn’t answer Tang Yanqi but instead took out a document from her bag, handed it to Tang Yanqi, and only then did she speak: "Miss Tang, I thought I made myself very clear last time at the hospital. I thought you were a sensible girl, but it seems I misjudged you."

Mrs. Sheng continued, tapping her finger on the document pouch: "Miss Tang, don’t blame me for being blunt. I have only one son, Jianan, who deserves the best in the world, including people, and you are clearly not. There are some things I didn’t want to clarify, but since you’ve resorted to every means to make Jianan see you in a new light, I have no choice but to tell you I won’t accept you, and if this content gets exposed, the Sheng Family won’t accept you either."

Tang Yanqi frowned as she heard this. What did she mean by saying Tang Yanqi resorted to every means to make Sheng Jianan look at her differently?

Besides, marrying into the Sheng Family wasn’t even something she wanted; it was Mr. Sheng’s decision. What did she mean by saying that if it gets exposed, the Sheng Family also wouldn’t accept her?

Tang Yanqi reached out and opened the document bag handed over by Mrs. Sheng. With just a glance at the first page, her expression changed.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Sheng elegantly sipped a cup of tea, her look of disdain growing more obvious. The first page clearly detailed Tang Yanqi’s background.

She was Tang Ruhai’s daughter, but not Shen Wanqing’s daughter, meaning she was part of the Tang Family, yet merely an illegitimate child.

Though Tang Yanqi’s complexion changed, she managed to remain calm. This was a secret, but not her secret. She was never a legitimate daughter, and Tang Yanqi had never felt inferior for being an illegitimate child.

However, when she turned to the next two pages, she suddenly stood up.

The table on the Japanese tatami was already low, and when Tang Yanqi stood, it made her appear much taller. Cracks appeared on her otherwise calm face, her beautiful eyes widened at the papers in her hand.

Gradually, her fingers began to tremble, her wrists started to shake, her arms quivered, her whole body shook, and the color drained from her face, as her pristine teeth bit tightly on her lips.

No one knows how long it took, but Tang Yanqi finally looked at Mrs. Sheng, squeezing out each word through her teeth: "This is impossible."

Mrs. Sheng leisurely set down the teacup she was holding and smiled with an air of condescension: "Do you think I’d lie to you? I was just puzzled before. Mrs. Tang’s name was Shen Wanqing, her son was called Tang Qing, why wasn’t her daughter named Tang Wan? And if I’m not mistaken, you were indeed called that when you were younger. I thought you merely changed your name, but the truth shocked me."

Mrs. Sheng slowly stood up, looking at the girl whose face was now pale as paper, without a hint of sympathy: "Tang Yanqi, no matter what your intentions for Jianan are, I’m telling you plainly, my son will absolutely not be with the daughter of a murderer. And I might as well tell you who Jianan’s true love is, he doesn’t know that I know, but she’s a true heiress, someone the daughter of a murderer like you can’t compare to, so please know your place."

"I’m putting it bluntly here, if you still want to pursue Jianan, then I can only tell you that the law will not forgive."
