Chapter 736: No Mother

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Jiang An felt that something was amiss because it was Luo Xuan who was carrying Tan Nian. If she really admitted his identity, she should have asked Tan Si to come out too. After all, a child could not live without a mother.

If she only acknowledged the child and not the mother, there would be a huge problem in the future. Zhao Yan would definitely get married. Tan Nian was the eldest son, but he was not the child of the Zhao family’s Madam.

Even his real mother was not by his side. It was equivalent to being alone and helpless.

Luo Xuan smiled and said, “Thank you everyone for attending the Zhao family’s banquet. I invited everyone here today to ask you to bear witness. The child in my arms is the eldest grandson of the Zhao family, Zhao Zhe.”

Tan Nian’s face was no secret. He had been on variety shows with Tan Si and everyone knew his true identity.

However, Luo Xuan was clearly trying to deny everything that had happened. Even his name had to be changed. It was obvious that it was not as simple as acknowledging this child.

Luo Xuan wanted Tan Nian to disappear from the world. From now on, there would only be Zhao Zhe.

“This child is so cute. Where’s Mommy?” an older woman asked.

She had a certain status in the capital’s social circle, and because she was old and respected, only she dared to ask such a question.

Luo Xuan was not angry. She seemed to be waiting for this sentence. “This child’s mother is Zhao Yan’s girlfriend. We were already preparing for their wedding, but an accident happened and she unfortunately passed away. However, Zhao Zhe is a child of the Zhao family. There’s no reason for him to be left outside. Today, please be witnesses, lest someone jumps out and says something bad in the future.”

With just a few words, she had changed his identity. She could even say something like death. Was Luo Xuan trying to shut everyone up? After leaving the banquet today, no one could mention Tan Nian and Tan Si.

Jiang An shook her head. “I think Tan Si definitely doesn’t know about this.”

According to her personality, if she knew, she would definitely turn the world upside down. She would not accept that she had become a dead person no matter what.

Luo Xuan had never taken Tan Si’s wishes to heart. In her eyes, she had always been the only one. That woman was just Zhao Zhe’s medium to come to the world.

Since the Madam of the Zhao family had already said so, the others could only smile and agree. They should not interfere in other people’s family matters.

There were even some small families who wanted to curry favor with the Zhao family. They surrounded Zhao Zhe and praised him. Originally, Luo Xuan disdained being flattered, but even her grandson smiled when they praised him.

Jiang An sighed. “I don’t know what will happen to him in the future. Mom won’t be recognized, and Dad doesn’t seem to care. Fortunately, he has a grandmother who cares about him, but children still want parents.”

“We have no way of interfering in other people’s family matters. After all, he’s the recognized eldest grandson of the Zhao family. No matter what, he will have his share of the family business. We can still live our lives,” Zou Bai comforted Jiang An.

Thinking about it, it made sense. As a child of an aristocratic family, he was better off than ordinary people.

Wang Mian was busy chatting with the others. During this period of time, the Wang family had been looking for more business allies, so he attended such banquets everywhere.

Jiang An and Zou Bai were happy to be free. They sat in a corner and chatted. The others knew at a glance that they were a loving couple.

“People still have to have some faith. Only then can they have the motivation to live. I’m happy every day now. This is especially good for my health.” Zheng Fan was talking loudly.

Jiang An smiled. “There are still people preaching here?”

Zou Bai’s curiosity was piqued by the word faith and he listened carefully. Zheng Fan was talking about the benefits of his faith, but it sounded very strange. It didn’t seem to be any religion recognized by the government.

He started to have doubts in his heart, but he soon had no time to think about it. Chen Xiang walked towards him step by step.

Zou Bai really didn’t want to see Chen Xiang. After all, her father had saved his life. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he couldn’t touch Chen Xiang.

However, she had become a hidden danger again. She always wanted to cause trouble to disturb him and An’an.

“Zou Bai, it’s been a long time since we last met. I heard that you’re getting married. I wonder if I have the honor to attend?” Chen Xiang smiled.

Jiang An was the first to speak. “We only invite family members to our wedding. We won’t give Miss Chen an invitation.”

“I thought I could be considered family. After all, the Zou Family raised me.” Chen Xiang looked at Zou Bai with a pitiful gaze.

However, Zou Bai did not pity her. He said mercilessly, “That’s compensation for your father. Strictly speaking, the Zou family did not raise you.”

The expression on Chen Xiang’s face seemed to freeze. She paused for a moment and her smile became even brighter. “I know you don’t want me to repay you, but I’m a grateful person. No matter what you say, I’ll try my best to repay you.”
