Hitting a Pillar

Tan Si did not care that there was another child in her stomach. She hugged Zhao Zhe tightly and shouted, “You’re treating me as a surrogate pregnancy tool. When the child is born, you’ll send me to my death. You’re delusional!”
Of course, everyone knew about this. However, knowing in their hearts and saying it out loud were two different things. A large family had to cover up their actions. Besides, surrogacy was against the law on the surface. Tan Si’s shouting made them not dare to take action for a moment.
Luo Xuan’s expression was so cold that it could freeze someone to death. Today was supposed to be a good day for her grandson. To be able to appear in front of everyone as the eldest grandson of the Zhao family and say those words was for his own good in the future.
Zhao Yan said that he was going to marry a young lady from a wealthy family. When the time came, Zhao Zhe’s existence would become awkward, but Luo Xuan could not bear to let him become an illegitimate child.
The child looked so much like her husband that she couldn’t tell the two of them apart from their childhood photos. She thought it was a gift from the gods to make up for all the years of infatuation with her husband.
During this period of time, Zhao Zhe was also very obedient. Not only did he listen to her words, but he also made her happy from time to time. It was rare for Luo Xuan to be so happy. It was like a dream.
Zhao Zhe had to have a good life. She even planned to make him the heir.
Therefore, Tan Si, his mother, had to disappear. Only then would Zhao Zhe not become a thorn in his stepmother’s side. After all, a child without a biological mother and a child with a biological mother were two different things.
As long as she taught him carefully, they could become close mother and son. If his mother was still alive, they would never be close.
Luo Xuan did not want her future daughter-in-law to treat Zhao Zhe as her own son, but at the very least, she could not treat him as an enemy.
This would give her time to complete her plan and raise Zhao Zhe’s status step by step.
Everything had gone smoothly just now. She did not expect Tan Si to be able to escape. There were so many servants, but none of them were useful. They could not even keep an eye on a pregnant woman.
Luo Xuan took a deep breath and said, “Don’t let your imagination run wild. That’s not what we meant at all. The most important thing for you now is to give birth to the child properly. The Zhao Family will not treat you badly.”
If it were in the past, Tan Si would have been so excited that she could not sleep the entire night. However, she had been deceived too many times and knew that the Zhao family did not care about so-called promises.
Tan Si refused to give in. “Then tell everyone that I’m Nian Nian’s biological mother. Her name has to be changed to Zhao Nian.”
Luo Xuan resisted the urge to kill her. It was one thing to announce it, but she had to change the name back. She was really pushing her luck.
She had thought for a long time before deciding on the name Zhao Zhe. She felt that only this name was worthy of her grandson. As for the feminine name, she really despised it.
Luo Xuan did not want to continue coaxing her. Since things had already come to this, the Zhao Family had no face to speak. Fortunately, the people attending the banquet were all from aristocratic families and knew what to say and what not to say.
“Drag her away,” Luo Xuan ordered coldly.
The secret guards in the dark immediately went forward. With their skills, they did not take Tan Si seriously at all. They snatched the knife from her hand and pulled her away. It was useless no matter how Zhao Zhe and Tan Si cried.
The people present did not expect Luo Xuan to be so direct. She did not even bother to coax them and directly used force.
Jiang An was about to say something when Zou Bai stopped her. “You’re representing the Jiang family today. It’s not good to interfere in the Zhao family’s family matters again and again.”
Since he had already said that, Jiang An could only watch them make a move. Zou Bai picked up the champagne that the waiter had brought over. “Drink something. You can’t save everyone. You have to get used to it.”
Jiang An sighed and downed the cup in one gulp. Zou Bai took the cup and put it back.
Chen Xiang waited behind and saw the waiter come back. She asked, “How is it? Did you give it to the person standing at the edge of the table?”
“She downed it.” The waiter nodded.
The banquet hall was even more lively than before. Tan Si resisted with all her might. She kicked and scratched the secret guards but refused to leave.
The strength of the secret guard was not something she could compare to. Seeing that she was about to be dragged out, she steeled her heart and hit the pillar.
This was not a light blow. She fell to the ground and held her stomach in pain. “It hurts. My stomach hurts.”
There was still a child in her stomach. Zhao Yan ran over in a panic and said, “Don’t be afraid, breathe slowly. I’ll get a doctor over now.”
Tan Si no longer had any expectations for him. She knew very well that this man wanted her dead.
She hugged her stomach and said, “I don’t want your Zhao family’s doctor. You’ll definitely make me die from a difficult delivery!”
Seeing that she was getting more and more agitated, Jiang An walked over and said, “Calm down first. How about we send you to the hospital?”
