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

Chapter 398: You’re Not Allowed to Reveal Your Identity (8)

Tang Yanqi’s tone was gentle, but her gaze was firm: "Aunt, I once promised you that when the time came, I would leave on my own, not staying at the Sheng Family forever, because I was chosen by Grandpa to be Jianan’s wife. He doesn’t like me, and if Grandpa is no longer here, I have no reason to stay. But now, things are different."

Tang Yanqi’s mind flashed to Sheng Jianan’s face, with a faint smile, her gaze became even more determined: "He has me in his heart, I don’t want to leave him. I know, because of my background, you may not like me, but I would hope you could try to accept me."

Tang Yanqi’s tone was polite and respectful, yet not self-deprecating. Mrs. Sheng squinted her eyes, suddenly let out a cold laugh, and reached out to straighten the fur on her body: "I ask you, do you know how much this clothing I’m wearing costs?"

Tang Yanqi was slightly taken aback, and then she heard Mrs. Sheng speak: "As a daughter-in-law of the number one wealthy family in B City, you lack even this simple discernment. What qualification do you have to become Jianan’s wife? Having you by his side will only bring him disgrace."

Mrs. Sheng’s words were blunt, yet Tang Yanqi’s expression did not change in the slightest, maintaining that determined look.

"Aunt, he has me in his heart. I think I have no reason to leave. If you definitely won’t accept me, I won’t force you. As for my mother’s matters, say whatever you want to say. I can’t change my background, but I believe in Jianan."

"You..."

Her identity was the only thing Mrs. Sheng could use to threaten her. Tang Yanqi deliberately made things clear, on one hand truly believing in Sheng Jianan. She didn’t openly confide in him now due to a lack of courage, not because she didn’t trust him. On the other hand, she was gambling, gambling that Mrs. Sheng wouldn’t speak out.

Once her identity was exposed, she would be hurt, but it would definitely be the Sheng Family losing face.

Looking at the opposite woman’s noble and elegant face gradually turning livid, Tang Yanqi felt she had bet correctly.

"Moreover, Aunt, if I were to dissolve the marriage with Jianan, I would receive ten percent of the Shengshi Group’s shares. According to my knowledge, if I got hold of this ten percent, I would become the third largest shareholder of Shengshi Group. I imagine this isn’t an outcome you’d like to see."

Tang Yanqi spoke very calmly, yet the person opposite stood up directly, glaring at her: "What did you say?"

Mrs. Sheng was clearly shocked by Tang Yanqi’s words. The shares of Shengshi Group weren’t something that could be measured by money alone.

Tang Yanqi still maintained that calm and gentle demeanor: "If I were to dissolve the marriage with Jianan, I would receive ten percent of the Shengshi Group’s shares."

Tang Yanqi neither hurried nor delayed, repeating the words again. Mrs. Sheng’s hands clenched into fists, striking the table hard: "Impossible, Jianan wouldn’t give you the shares."

"These were given by Grandpa."

Mrs. Sheng’s face turned red with anger, displaying an expression as if she wished to tear the place apart.

Clenched teeth, tightly pursed lips, she spoke coldly after several seconds: "Are you threatening me?"

"I have no such intention; I merely hope you can try to accept me. I know I have many shortcomings, and I will make up for them."

Without a word, Mrs. Sheng grabbed the teacup on the table and splashed it on Tang Yanqi’s face, then raised her hand and smashed the cup hard onto the ground, striding away in high heels.

Tang Yanqi stood in place, water droplets falling one by one from her face.
