At the Tan residence.
After Old Master Tan was discharged from the hospital, he had been recuperating at home. He was lying on a deck chair in the garden, his heart full of worries.
"Old Master, you have to take care of your body. Don't think about those messy things anymore."
The old butler, Tan Er, looked at Old Master Tan and sighed repeatedly. He seemed to be unhappy with his sad face.
"Tan Er, I've lived for so long. Why do I have to break up with my wife and children?"
Old Master Tan had been thinking about this problem. When he was young, he always wanted to give his children and wife the best life. He didn't expect that when he was old, his wife would pass away prematurely. She didn't enjoy any of the glory and wealth. His children were disobedient when they were old and fought over this little bit of money.
"Old Master, Young Master and Young Miss only have some differences. They're still a family. It's not as serious as you say."
Tan Er covered Old Master Tan with a blanket and comforted him.
"A family? Hmph! I think without this old man around, this family will be finished! I've always hoped that Shilin would be successful. Eldest Brother doesn't care about anything and travels around the world with his wife. He hasn't given me a grandson and is always causing trouble. Siwen is a good child, but she's a girl after all. She'll get married in the future. This family is supported by Hu Hui alone. How can that do? "
Old Master Tan was deeply worried. He had always wanted a grandson to inherit the family business, but Hu Hui's belly had not shown any signs of pregnancy, and Tan Shilin had failed to live up to his expectations. He was getting older and older, but the family was still in a mess. How could he be at ease?
"Old Master, don't worry! Other people at your age would be bedridden and unable to move. You're the only one who's still so healthy. Sooner or later, you'll have a grandson. "
Tan Er comforted him.
"Don't comfort me. Shilin is always fooling around outside, and Hu Hui is busy with business. How can she be in the mood to give me a grandson?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Hu Hui strode in.
"Dad, I'm back."
Hu Hui walked to the garden and stopped talking.
Old Master Tan looked at her troubled expression and knew that she had something to say.
He spoke first.
"Xiao Hui, I was sick a few days ago and didn't tell you. Don't throw a tantrum with Shi Lin anymore. I don't treat you as an outsider. What I said that day was out of anger. You've been married to the Tan family for so many years, and I've long treated you as my own daughter.
All these years, you've been managing the Tan family and the Tan family's business. Shilin has failed to live up to expectations and has relied on you for everything. I know it's been hard on you. Back then, I didn't misjudge you. You're good at doing business. It's my fault for not disciplining you well. Don't take my words to heart. I'm old now and the family is relying on you.
You said that you will hand over the company's power to Siwen. After all, she is still young and a girl. She is inexperienced and doesn't understand things. She is easily deceived. You have to take care of her more. "
Grandpa Tan was the first to apologize and express his feelings. He thought that Hu Hui's heart must have turned cold after handing over the power. He said those words to shut her up.
Hu Hui smiled and said.
"Dad, back then, my family was poor and I had no choice but to set up a stall outside. You found me. I admit that all these years, I've treated you like my own father. I've treated the Tan family as my own home. But it wasn't until last time that I realized that everything was my fault. But later on, I thought it through.
That's why I want to divorce Tan Shilin. All these years, I also know that he doesn't love me at all. I also didn't give birth to any children for him. Now, I'm taking the initiative to withdraw from the Tan family. I've already handed the divorce agreement to him. I'll also print a copy of the contents for you. If there are no objections, I'll move out in two days. "
Hu Hui had made up her mind. This was something she had been thinking about for a few days.
"Young Mistress, you're muddle-headed! I, Tan Er, have been in the Tan family for so many years. It's equivalent to watching Young Mistress grow up step by step. Now, how can Young Mistress leave just like that? Old Master will be so sad. "
Tan Er had been with Grandpa Tan since he was young. He had watched Hu Hui enter the family for so many years. It was like seeing a family member. Now that she suddenly wanted to leave the Tan family, not to mention Old Master, even he couldn't accept it.
"Xiao Hui, how can you divorce Shilin? Did that guy make you angry again and treat you badly? What happened? You can tell me. I'll talk to him. You can't leave. "
Grandpa Tan stood up from the recliner agitatedly and said with a worried expression.
Hu Hui could be said to be the pillar of the Tan family now. He was old and could only do some theoretical thinking. He still had to rely on her for the specifics. He still didn't feel at ease leaving it to others.
"Dad, I've already decided. I'm here today to inform you that I'm divorcing Tan Shilin. I want to take 5% of the Tan family's shares. I'm willing to give up 35% compared to the 40% I used to hold.
Just take it as a reward for my years of hard work in the Tan family.
The rest of the savings are my own private money. I didn't use a single cent from the Tan family. Tan Shilin didn't agree, so I can only come to you. I believe that Dad is reasonable. A few days ago, Dad also saw the lipstick mark on Tan Shilin's body. I can tolerate him not liking me and treating me coldly, but I can't tolerate him betraying me.
I'll pack up and move out now. I've already found a house, but I still need your approval for the shares. I didn't do anything to let down the Tan family. I hope Dad can understand. "
