AWB Chapter 39
Chapter 39
There was no way. Since Tan Jiahui became the vice president, too many people have flattered Mrs. Tan, which has made her lose herself, especially Tan Feng. If the emperor had not been pushed down, Mrs. Tan felt that her son could cooperate with the princess, and it would be an honor for the royal family. So Mrs. Tan actually looked down on the mayor's daughter. There was no way Mrs. Tan was so confident, and the mayor's daughter, who was dissatisfied with Mrs. Tan, told her mother the news she heard.
After hearing this, the mayor's wife was also very angry and yelled at home: "What does the Tan family mean? They are about to get married, but they still have the nerve to say they will marry me, Yinyin." The mayor's daughter was also very sad. She originally thought that Tan Feng was a good person and seemed to be quite honest and kind. She didn't expect that his family would do this. Isn't this a slap in their own face?
The mayor's wife looked at her sad daughter and comforted her, "Okay, Yinyin, don't be sad. Tomorrow, mom will go to the Tan family and make sure to find out the truth. This is not taking us seriously. If it doesn't work, let your father take action." The mayor's daughter still liked Tan Feng a little bit, so she immediately comforted her mother and said, "Mommy, why don't you go and ask tomorrow? Maybe there are reasons we don't know about this?" The mayor's wife understood what her daughter was like and felt a little uncomfortable. But in today's world, it is not difficult to find a good family. It is not easy. Since her husband became the mayor, no good family would be interested in her daughter.
Although the mayor's wife looked down on the Tan family, it is undeniable that the Tan family is rich. In the past few years, Tan Jiahui has taken a lot of money from the family through his position as vice president. This is why the Tan family can befriend the Japanese. Compared with the current mayor of Shanghai, who no longer has much real power in his hands and has been hollowed out by various countries, the current mayor of Shanghai is just an empty title, a puppet.
So even if the mayor's wife looked down on Mrs. Tan's behavior, she had to admit that it was a good choice for her daughter to enter the Tan family now. As for whether this choice was correct, it remained to be considered, and it had nothing to do with Jin Ling.
The information Jin Ling got from Huang Rui also enabled him to understand Tan Jiahui's thoughts. Jin Ling only sighed that Jin Xin had left a strong impression on Tan Feng. In this regard, Jin Ling still admired Jin Xin very much. Being able to fool the entire Tan family was a skill.
Jin Xin was able to fool Tan Jiahui, and half of the credit goes to Jin Ling. Originally, Tan Feng and Tan Jiahui's target was Jin Ling, but Jin Ling was a nerd, a nerd like their own father. She wanted to learn everything, whether it was Western studies or ancient studies, and had no time to understand the outside world. This was when Jin Xin had an opportunity, because she didn't like these things and thought they were useless. In addition, at that time, Master Jin was still very concerned about his daughter. There was no way he didn't need to worry about his eldest daughter and two sons, so only Jin Xin could make him feel a sense of accomplishment.
Doesn't this make the Tan family father and son think that Jin Ling is not as important as Jin Xin in the Jin family? Didn't they see that the Jin family was doing their best to resist the idea when the Tan family proposed the marriage exchange? Doesn't this show that Jin Xin is more important than Jin Ling? The Tan family never thought that it was because the Jin family was planning to cancel the engagement when the Tan family said they wanted to exchange the marriage. There would be no happiness for their daughter to marry into such a treacherous family.
Mr. Jin originally thought that he would not marry anyone, but he did not expect that Jin Xin actually wanted to get married. At the same time, Mr. Jin also realized that his education was a failure. He cried in front of Mrs. Jin because of this. No matter how Mrs. Jin tried to comfort him, it was useless. In the end, Mr. Jin stopped crying because he was tired. For a moment, Mrs. Jin regretted that she should not let Mr. Jin raise Jin Xin just because she was not his own child. She was really asking for trouble.
But then again, Mrs. Jin's revenge was successful. A concubine's child could never surpass her own child. She didn't know what that person's expression would be when he found out. Mrs. Jin was still a little looking forward to it.
In order to save face for the Jin family, Mrs. Jin prepared a presentable dowry. Three days later, Jin Xin left the Jin family and went to the Tan family. Originally, one of Jin Yu and Jin Yan was supposed to go to see the bride off, but they didn't want to bring bad luck so they didn't go. Even the ones who carried the bride on their backs were not the Jin Yu brothers. It can be seen that Jin Xin had been completely abandoned by the Jin family.
The Jin family did not want to bring unnecessary trouble to their family and gave face to the Tan family. They did not expect that they would lose face for the Jin family as soon as they entered the door. Butler Jin looked at the small door in front of him and asked, "Tan family, what does this mean?" Mrs. Tan walked out calmly and said, "Butler Jin, how can a concubine of your Jin family want to go through the main door? She is just a concubine. Is she worthy of it?" Butler Jin did not expect the Tan family to mean this. He looked at Mrs. Tan and Tan Feng angrily, and then came to Jin Xin and said, "Second Miss, let's go back. We won't get married." Jin Xin saw that she had arrived at the Tan family and would soon become Tan Feng's bride. How could Jin Xin give up? She immediately said, "Butler Jin, what nonsense are you talking about? Today is my big day. If I just go back like this, how will others look at Brother Tan Feng in the future?" Butler Jin was shocked by Jin Xin's words. He wondered if Jin Xin had gone crazy. Didn't he hear what Mrs. Tan said just now? She, Jin Xin, was a concubine and not a wife when she went in through this small door.
Seeing that Jin Xin did not want to go back, Butler Jin had to send someone back to the Jin family to let Mr. and Mrs. Jin make the decision. Mr. and Mrs. Jin did not expect that the Tan family would be so disrespectful to the Jin family. They did not take the Jin family seriously at all. Jin Yu and Jin Yan were also very angry and immediately said, "Go, carry her back. We in the Jin family will not marry her off." The person who came back had been instructed by Butler Jin and said, "Well, Butler Jin said that the second young lady does not want to come back and must marry Tan Feng." Jin Yu laughed angrily and said to Mr. Jin, "Dad, tell me, what should we do about this?" Mr. Jin's face was now livid, and he said to the person who came, "Tell her, Jin Xin, either she comes back today and does not marry into our Jin family, or she is no longer a daughter of the Jin family from today on. Take back all the things of the Jin family. If she likes Tan Feng, let her marry in and see what she can get." After hearing this, Jin Yu and Jin Yan felt much more comfortable. After all, those things were still worth some money. It would be a bargain for the Tan family if they were given away for free.
Jin Xin was sitting in the sedan chair and also heard what Mrs. Tan said, but she didn't take it to heart at all. Now people value democracy. As long as she got married, she would be Tan Feng's bride. How could she be a concubine? It was just that this housekeeper was meddling.
