After Tan Ming signed her name, Si Cheng took the document and began to sign.
Si Cheng was two strokes from finishing his signatures when his phone suddenly rang. Si Cheng’s hand paused as he picked up the call first. After chatting for a while, his tone became a little anxious. Then, he quickly threw the pen aside and left.
By the time Tan Ming reacted, Si Cheng was already gone.
Tan Ming was stunned for a moment. She looked at the pen on the table and had an idea. She picked up the pen and looked at the employee. “Anyway, there are only two strokes left. I’ll help him make up for it.”
When the staff heard this, he snatched the forms away and placed it behind him. He looked at Tan Ming warily. “I’m afraid that won’t do. The law stipulates that you have to sign it yourself. We have a camera here. You can do it together another day.”
Tan Ming was a little depressed. She had come all the way here for nothing.
When Tan Ming returned home, Li Mei was looking at the plane tickets to return to Jingdu City tomorrow. When she found out that the procedures had not been completed, she put down her phone in frustration.
For the next two days, Tan Ming did not contact Si Cheng. However, a few unexpected people came.
Si Cheng’s mother and grandparents arrived at the apartment. When Grandpa and Grandma Si saw Tan Ming, they started scolding their own grandson first.
“Tan Ming, you’ve done a great service by giving birth to a pair of twins for our Si family. Don’t bother about that brat Si Cheng. It’s going so well, why would you get a divorce? We only acknowledge you as our granddaughter-in-law!”
Grandma Si held Tan Ming’s hand as she spoke. Grandpa Si couldn’t wait to look at the two little children lying on the sofa. He walked over with a smile and teased them. “Tan Ming, Si Cheng is the only heir of three generations. You’re finally breaking the record. You’re lucky! Grandpa will definitely teach Si Cheng a lesson for you. We won’t let him mess around like this.”
Mother Si secretly rolled her eyes in disdain. If not for her son’s accident, how could a daughter from a small family like the Tan family ever make it? At the thought of this, she couldn’t even be bothered to look at the two babies.
Tan Ming was a little touched by the grandparents’ words. Grandpa and Grandma Si usually lived in villas in the suburbs. Everyone only gathered together during the New Year, but they provided her with the rare warmth she experienced in the three years she had been in the Si family.
Although she had already made up her mind to get a divorce, Tan Ming didn’t want to make the two elders sad, so she didn’t say much.
Li Mei came out of the kitchen with a bowl of chicken soup. When she saw the people in the living room, she ignored them. After all, she already had all the information she needed to know. In any case, the old and the young were all not good people.
When Mother Si saw Li Mei frown, she asked suspiciously, “This is?”
Tan Ming replied, “This is my distant relative. She’s here to take care of me during my confinement period.”
Mother Si felt that Li Mei looked a little familiar, but after knowing that she was Tan Ming’s poor relative, she didn’t think too much about it. When she looked at her, there was a hint of superiority in her eyes, and she had no intentions to talk to Li Mei.
She only felt that talking to the Tan family’s relatives would lower her status. If she treated Li Mei with a good attitude and she took advantage of it, she might not be able to get rid of her. The Si family was an existence that could shake the ground with a stomp of their feet in Sea City!
Tan Ming didn’t want Li Mei to be disrespected by Mother Si. After drinking the chicken soup, she saw that the grandparents’ attention was on the babies, so she pulled Li Mei into the room.
Tan Ming hugged Li Mei and said in a low voice, “Mom, I’m sorry for making you suffer with me.”
Li Mei smiled nonchalantly. She didn’t want her daughter to be sad because of her guilt, so she hurriedly changed the topic.
“Your father and I have discussed it. We plan to open a branch of our business in Sea City for you to be in charge of. After you get familiar with it, you can manage the entire Tianqi Clothing. This company is running steadily and is suitable for you to practice. After you get used to it, you can slowly take over the entire Jiang Corporation.”
Tan Ming was shocked. “How would I know how to manage these? No, no. My brothers are all more suitable than me.”
Li Mei gently tapped Tan Ming’s forehead with her finger and instructed her softly, “You don’t have to care about your three brothers. Not to mention that they don’t like to manage the company, and they’re doing quite well outside. The Jiang Corporation is the most suitable for you. You’re divorced and have two children. You have to make plans for your future. Being part of an industry is also a form of support. Listen to your parents’ arrangements.”
“We’ve already chosen the person to guide you along. You don’t have to be anxious. Learn slowly. With your father managing the overall situation, there won’t be any trouble.”
Li Mei’s every word was about plans for her future. Tan Ming felt a lump in her throat and her eyes reddened, touched by the feeling of having a family member who was thinking for her. She obediently listened to Li Mei and Jiang Hai’s arrangements.
