Chapter 743 - Temptation

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

There were people from three of the four aristocratic families present, not to mention the heir of the Jiang family. No one dared to interrupt when they quarreled. They even hid far away for fear of being implicated.

Those were the most powerful families in China. The entire country would tremble if they stomped their feet. It would definitely not end well for them if they provoked them.

Zhao Yan was furious. “Have you decided to stand against the Zhao family?”

“That’s not what we meant,” Jiang An said. “If you have the time to argue with us, why don’t you turn around and look at Tan Si?”

Only then did Zhao Yan remember that there was still Tan Si. When he turned around, he saw her hugging Zhao Zhe and not letting go. The mother and son were really pitiful.

“Mom, I’m so scared,” Zhao Zhe said.

Tan Si’s voice trembled. “Don’t be afraid. Even if Mom dies, she won’t let anyone take you away.”

These words made the Zhao family seem very inhumane. They could actually do something that separated mother and son.

It was nothing new for the heir of the family to have a child outside. Even the harshest treatment was to bring the child back and give her mother a sum of money to persuade her to leave.

However, they did not erase her mother’s existence like the Zhao family did. They could even say that his biological mother was dead.

Moreover, everyone present was smart. They understood that the Zhao family must have been prepared to let Tan Si die.

Only when Tan Si was really dead could their plan be carried out flawlessly. They did not have to worry about having a biological mother who could jump out at any time.

Jiang An had also realized this. That was why she had spoken in public. She did not want to speak up for Tan Si. She just pitied the children.

Since the Zhao family could raise a child like Zhao Yan, it was naturally not a warm family. Zhao Zhe had to grow up in such an environment too, so he probably did not have much sincere love.

Although Tan Si’s character had a problem, she was Zhao Zhe’s biological mother after all. Even if it was for her own benefit, she would argue for the child’s sake. There was still a chance of survival.

If they really let Tan Si die, Zhao Zhe would be like fish on a chopping board. Sooner or later, he would be cut into pieces.

“No matter what, this is the Zhao Family’s own business,” Luo Xuan said.

She gestured for the servants to quickly separate Tan Si and Zhao Zhe. She could not let them continue crying like this.

Tan Si refused to let go no matter what. She grabbed the knife that had been knocked to the ground and began to attack indiscriminately. This time, the servants did not dare to go over.

“I know what you want to do. I’m Nian Nian’s mother. If you want to separate us, you have to kill me now,” Tan Si said crazily. “All of you, remember this. If I die, the Zhao family was the one to do it!”

Luo Xuan was really having a headache. Everything had been going smoothly, so why did Tan Si suddenly come out to cause trouble? Could it be that the other families wanted to attack the Zhao family, so they took advantage of the banquet to do something?

She looked at the people present with suspicion before her gaze finally landed on Zou Bai and the others.

Wang Mian said in a low voice, “What’s with her gaze? Does she suspect that we did something?”

“She’s already certain that we did it,” Zou Bai said.

Wang Mian felt that this was a huge joke. Although it was embarrassing for the Zhao family to have such a thing happen, it would not affect the entire family. They would not benefit from doing such a thing.

At this moment, Chen Xiang, who had really planned this matter, took advantage of the chaos to sneak out of the kitchen. It was naturally impossible to use their own chefs for such a big banquet today. They would not be able to handle it at all. However, it would not be timely to send things in from outside.

Therefore, the Zhao family brought all the kitchens of the hotel under their banner. They were busy preparing the food and desserts for the banquet. There were also special people in charge of drinks. They were extremely busy.

Chen Xiang knew that everyone only knew how to drink champagne at the banquet. This kind of wine could be drunk by both men and women, so they would not get drunk easily. It was very suitable to raise their glasses on such an occasion.

She waited for the waiter to come out and pulled one back. “Do me a favor later and send the wine to the designated person. I’ll pay you.”

The waitress was a little hesitant. She didn’t know why the other party wanted her to do this. She couldn’t bear the consequences if anything happened.

Chen Xiang could tell that she was worried. “Don’t worry, I’ll give you a large sum of money and send you out of Beijing. No one will mind what you did. After all, even if they’re angry, they’ll target me.”

The words “a large sum of money” moved the waiter. It was obvious that she was short of money to be doing such a job. If she had money, she could live comfortably.

Chen Xiang said in a low voice, “You have to think carefully. The amount I’m offering is enough for you to not work for the rest of your life. If you don’t agree, I’ll find someone else.”

“I agree.” The waiter was afraid that she would really find someone else to agree to it.
