Hearing this, Tang Weiwei immediately asked impatiently, “Who is he?”

“I’ve found out that the Qilin tattoo design you mentioned is the emblem of the famous Zhan family. Every direct descendant of the Zhan Clan will tattoo it when they grow up. As it involves the internal affairs of the Zhan family, it’s very inconvenient for us to investigate. However, I can confirm that the person you’re looking for is a member of the Zhan family!” The person on the other end of the phone said.

The Zhan family?

How could it be so coincidental?

Tang Weiwei communicated with the detective a few more times and asked him to think of more ways to confirm who the Zhan family was before hanging up.

She could not help but think about Zhan Xiaoting.

Zhan Xiaoting’s eyes and nose were really too similar to his son’s…

‘Maybe…’

The man that night was Zhan Xiaoting?

No matter what, she had to find a way to confirm it. She had to find An’an’s biological father and beg him to save her!

Tang Weiwei returned to the ward and accompanied her son until dark before leaving.

…

The next day.

Tang Weiwei was about to go downstairs to find something to eat.

She had just reached the stairs when…

“Tang Weiwei…” A low and hoarse voice suddenly sounded.

“Ah… Help!”

Tang Weiwei was shocked. She missed a step and fell headfirst.

She thought she was going to fall. At that moment, someone suddenly pulled her.

Tang Weiwei immediately reached out and hugged the man’s waist in fear, refusing to let go.

“Damn woman, how much longer do you want to hug me?”

A cold voice sounded in his ears.

Tang Weiwei immediately opened her eyes and saw a handsome face. He exuded an abstinent aura from head to toe and could only be seen from afar.

It was Zhan Xiaoting!

Tang Weiwei was so frightened that she immediately let go and said awkwardly, “Thank you.”

“Let’s go…” Zhan Xiaoting frowned and urged impatiently.

Tang Weiwei was stunned. “Where are we going?”

“Divorce!”

Divorce?

No way!

She had yet to find An’an’s biological father. How could she get a divorce??

For a family like the Zhan family, once she left, she would never have the chance to investigate again.

“I’m not getting a divorce!” Tang Weiwei immediately said.

When Zhan Xiaoting heard this, his expression instantly turned cold. “Didn’t we already agree yesterday?”

Tang Weiwei opened her mouth, not knowing how to explain.

“I’ve changed my mind. I’m not getting a divorce. At least not now!”

“How dare you trick me?”

Zhan Xiaoting pinched Tang Weiwei’s chin, his eyes flashing with killing intent.

Tang Weiwei felt that her jaw was about to be crushed. She was in the wrong for changing her mind at the last minute, so she did not struggle.

She looked into Zhan Xiaoting’s eyes and pleaded sincerely.

“Give me three months, no, one month. One month is enough. After one month, I’ll definitely divorce you!”

“You think I’m gonna trust you again?”

Zhan Xiaoting laughed mockingly and announced domineeringly, “It’s not up to you whether you want a divorce or not!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled Tang Weiwei’s arm forcefully and walked out. “Follow me to the Civil Affairs Bureau!”

“I’m not going. Let go of me!!!”

No matter how Tang Weiwei struggled, she could not shake off Xiaoting’s arm. She was enveloped in despair.

“What are you guys doing?”

At this moment, a benevolent but dignified voice suddenly sounded.

Tang Weiwei turned around and saw an energetic old man in a Tang suit holding a walking stick. Behind him was a person who looked like a butler.

Zhan Xiaoting greeted respectfully, “Grandfather, Uncle Sun…”

Tang Weiwei immediately reacted.

The old man was the head of the Zhan family, Old Master Zhan. Behind him was his personal butler, Uncle Sun.

Tang Weiwei remembered that Zhan Xiaoting had said that the reason why he married her was because Old Master Zhan forced him to. She immediately shook off his arm when he was not paying attention and hid behind Old Master Zhan.

“Grandpa, I’m your granddaughter-in-law, Tang Weiwei. Xiaoting doesn’t want me anymore and wants to divorce me. You must help me!”

When Zhan Xiaoting heard this, his face turned ashen.

He wanted to strangle Tang Weiwei, this scheming woman.

“Brat, is what she said true?” Old Master Zhan asked with a displeased expression.

He knew that Zhan Xiaoting was unwilling to get married. There was not even a proper wedding yesterday, so he specially came over today to see how the couple was getting along and make it up to his granddaughter-in-law.

However, she did not expect Zhan Xiaoting to force her to divorce him.

“Yes.” Zhan Xiaoting’s plan to act first and report later failed, so he did not intend to deny it.

“No! Since Weiwei has married into the Zhan family, she will be a member of the Zhan family for the rest of her life. There has never been a divorce in the Zhan family!”

Old Master Zhan’s tone was firm.

“Then let me break this precedent!”

“You, are you trying to anger me to death?”

Seeing that Zhan Xiaoting was so stubborn, Old Master Zhan covered his chest with an uncomfortable expression and his body swayed.

Seeing this, Uncle Sun immediately helped Old Master Zhan sit down on the sofa and took out medicine to feed him.

The old man’s expression finally eased a little.

“What happened to Grandpa?” Zhan Xiaoting asked worriedly.

Uncle Sun patted Old Master Zhan’s chest as he spoke.

“Young Master, Old Master is old and his heart problems are getting worse. He can’t be agitated. He’s afraid that everyone will be worried, so he’s been hiding it from everyone.”

“I’m fine!” Old Master Zhan had already recovered.

Tang Weiwei looked at Old Master Zhan guiltily. “Grandpa, I’m sorry…”

She was very regretful now!

If she knew that Old Master Zhan’s heart was not good, she would not have said those words that would agitate him in front of him.

Old Master Zhan patted Tang Weiwei’s hand gently and said lovingly.

“Silly girl, since you’ve called me grandpa, I’ll treat you as my biological granddaughter. If I have to apologize, it’s our Zhan family who has let you down by letting you marry a scoundrel like Xiaoting! Don’t worry, as long as I’m alive, you’re a member of our Zhan family!”

Then, he looked at Zhan Xiaoting and asked, “Am I right?”

When Zhan Xiaoting heard this, he could not help but clench his fists and grit his teeth. “Grandpa, don’t worry. I won’t mention the divorce again.”

Old Master Zhan was finally satisfied.

He stayed for a while longer. His body no longer felt so uncomfortable, and he was about to leave.

“Weiwei, if Xiaoting dares to bully you again in the future, come and look for Grandpa. Grandpa will stand up for you.”

Before leaving, he said to Tang Weiwei.

Seeing how well Old Master Zhan treated her, Tang Weiwei felt even more touched and guilty, but…

In order to let An’an live, she had no choice.

“Okay, thank you, Grandpa…” Tang Weiwei bit her lip and thanked him softly.

After Old Master Zhan left, Zhan Xiaoting looked at Tang Weiwei coldly.

“Tang Weiwei, you’re really good at putting up an act. I underestimated you. Since you want to stay in the Zhan family, have at it. I hope you won’t regret it!”

With that, he left with a look of disgust.

Tang Weiwei sighed.

Originally, she wanted to promise Zhan Xiaoting that she would not occupy the position of Mrs. Zhan. If she was given some time, she would definitely divorce him. At the same time, she would strike while the iron was hot and test if he was An’an’s biological father, but—

Seeing that he hated her so much, she could only give up for the time being and find another opportunity in the future.

In the next few days, Zhan Xiaoting was very cold.

Tang Weiwei didn’t mind as long as he stopped talking about divorce and chased her away.

On this day.

After breakfast, Tang Weiwei went to the hospital to visit An’an.

An’an was very happy to see her. The mother and son had endless things to talk about.

In the afternoon, An’an was taken by the nurse for a checkup and did not return.

Tang Weiwei was about to look for him when she suddenly received a call from Zhan Xiaoting.

“Where are you?” He asked coldly.

“I’m in the hospital!” Tang Weiwei answered subconsciously.

After she answered, her heart skipped a beat.

It’s over!

She had a slip of the tongue!

Back then, Cheng Caiyun had specifically warned her that a wealthy family like the Zhan family would never accept a woman with a child like her. She had told her to keep it a secret and not let the Zhan family know of An’an’s existence.

Zhan Xiaoting asked indifferently, “Why are you in the hospital?”

Tang Weiwei hurriedly said, “I had a headache when I woke up this morning, so I came to get some medicine.”

“Mm…” Zhan Xiaoting did not ask further.

Seeing this, Tang Weiwei heaved a sigh of relief, but…

Just as she finished speaking, An’an suddenly returned from outside.

“Mom, I went to buy your favorite milk tea…”

“Shh…”

Tang Weiwei immediately gestured for An’an to keep quiet, but it was too late.

On the other end of the phone, Zhan Xiaoting had already heard it!
