The Darling of Heaven Owns a Rip-off Shop-Chapter 143 - 16: Prestigious Families

Tang Wanwan told Kong Hou that Zhao Rouman was actually the illegitimate daughter. In earlier years, Zhao’s father was a playboy with many lovers outside, while the legitimate wife had no children. Zhao’s father had the idea of having a child with one of his lovers, not caring which one. As a result, the only offspring was Zhao Rouman. It was only after this that Zhao’s father got tested and realized the problem was his own.

Zhao’s father thought he wouldn’t have any children in his life, so he brought Zhao Rouman back to the Zhao Family, treating her as if she were born from the legitimate wife. But when Zhao Rouman turned eighteen, the legitimate wife got pregnant and gave birth to a son. This was tremendous news for the Zhao Family, but not so good for Zhao Rouman.

Though her life didn’t exactly fall from Heaven to Hell, Zhao’s father’s concern for her lessened significantly. And as for Zhao’s grandfather, bedridden for years, he was in poor health. He already didn’t like Zhao Rouman and now with a grandson, he disliked her even more. The legitimate wife, understandably, detested the existence of Zhao Rouman, but her self-restraint prevented any harsh treatment, so she simply ignored her.

Since childhood, Zhao Rouman had always been at odds with Tang Wanwan, but she never gained the upper hand. This hadn’t changed over the years.

"Those with dirty hearts see everything as dirty," Kong Hou snorted disdainfully and said no more, turning to seriously pick toys.

Only when the two shopping carts were filled to the brim did Kong Hou stop choosing toys with his chubby hands.

When they returned to the Tang Mansion, someone was already waiting for them.

It was Yan Bin.

"You stinky little brother, how come you’re willing to come back to see me?" Tang Wanwan exclaimed happily upon hearing from the housekeeper who it was, and rushed to the living room, shouting at the person seated there.

"Stinky Tang Wanwan, though I’d love to lie and say I came back to see you, sadly it’s not the case. I returned to the country because I was invited by Mr. Dong. And when I saw the agreed meeting place, wasn’t it your house? So I crashed the party uninvited." The person sitting on the sofa stood up with a cheerful smile and said to Tang Wanwan. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"Hmph, I knew it," Tang Wanwan sneered with a cold huff.

Yan Bin, the sole descendant of this generation of the Yan Family. But he didn’t take over the family business, nor did he rely on the family’s influence, choosing instead to go abroad to carve out his own path. Although Yan’s father repeatedly asked Yan Bin’s friends not to offer him any help, even specifically asking Tang’s father to restrain Tang Wanwan from helping Yan Bin, Tang Wanwan nonetheless gave Yan Bin plenty of help in secret.

The reason Yan Bin split with his family was that he didn’t like women; he was attracted to men. The Yan Family didn’t react strongly to this. They didn’t oppose or suppress him, only requiring him to marry first, have a child, and then he could do whatever he wanted.

Yan Bin firmly refused. Although given his family status many women wouldn’t mind his sexual orientation, and even knowing his true orientation, many would be willing to bear his child. The child would be the heir of the Yan Family, and the mother would rise in status, enjoying endless glory and wealth. But Yan Bin outright refused, stating it was impossible for him to do such a thing against his mind and body.

And then, there was no more to say.

Yan Bin was estranged from his family, cut off from all financial resources. He went abroad alone to fight for his own future, supposedly enduring hardships and starting from scratch. Of course, that couldn’t be true, how could it be?

As the sole descendant of the Yan Family of his generation, Yan Bin’s identity was itself a huge resource. His friends couldn’t all sever ties or refuse help just because of family pressure. For instance, Tang Wanwan was among them, providing the most assistance. After all, Yan Bin was her gay best friend.

With the help of friends, he embarked on his entrepreneurial journey with gusto, smoothly and steadily progressing.
