Chapter 8: Change for the Better

The image of a loving mother that Wang Li had painstakingly maintained all these years was destroyed by Li Mei just like that. In her fury, she went forward and raised her hand, wanting to teach the other party a lesson. "How dare you spread fake rumors? I'll tear your mouth apart!"

Li Mei grabbed Wang Li's hand and quickly raised her hand to counterattack.

Piak! The crisp sound of a slap resounded throughout the underground parking lot.

Li Mei had been holding it in ever since she learned this information. Now that Wang Li had delivered herself to her door, she would not be polite.

In the Tan family, Tan Ming was like Wang Li's punching bag. She could hit, scold, and punish her at will. Li Mei had used all her strength in that slap just now, but she felt that it was far from enough. Hence, she slapped Wang Li again. Both sides of Wang Li's face immediately swelled up.

The first time, Wang Li's head was buzzing from the slap and she could not react for a moment. She only came back to her senses after being slapped a second time. Feeling her teeth get a little loose, her fury surged. "Ah! B*tch! I'm going to beat you to death!"

Wang Li stepped forward and wanted to pull Li Mei's hair. Li Mei's black belt Kung Fu skills were not for show. Wang Li was not her match at all.

When Tan Si saw this, she hurriedly went forward to help. Tan Ming held her back. When she saw Tan Si struggling, she imitated her mother and slapped her twice.

With her big belly, Tan Si lost her balance and staggered a few steps before stabilizing herself by holding on to the car beside her. When Wang Li saw that, she forgot about the fight. She held Tan Si and asked anxiously, "Daughter! Are you alright?"

Tan Si was also a smart person. Seeing that the situation was not in her favor, she immediately clutched her stomach and wailed, "My stomach hurts. Mom, quickly help me into the hospital. I feel like I'm about to give birth."

Grandma Si and Grandpa Si, who were watching from the sidelines, immediately looked at Tan Si's stomach. Wang Li was so frightened that she hurriedly helped her to the hospital.

The two elders also looked anxious. Tan Si's baby was also part of the Si family's bloodline. They didn't like Tan Si, but nothing must happen to the Si family's bloodline! Hence, they handed the two babies to Tan Ming and Li Mei and casually found an excuse. "Let's go take a look. After all, the two families are in-laws. We'll go over tomorrow to take care of the babies."

As soon as the children were taken over, the two of them eagerly followed them into the hospital.

Tan Ming looked at the grandparents' disappearing silhouettes and was stunned for a long time.

Li Mei sighed when she saw the disappointment in Tan Ming's eyes. Her silly daughter still didn't know how to read people, but growing up was always painful. The earlier she could see things clearly, the less disappointment she would feel.

Li Mei analyzed softly for Tan Ming. "Those who are straightforward are easy to protect yourself from. On the other hand, against those who are two-faced, you have to be more careful. Take recent events as an example. How long has it been since you gave birth? They only came to see you today. If they were really good to you, they would have given you a call even if they couldn't make it on the day."

"Other than the fact that you gave birth to two children for the Si family, they also can't afford to lose face. When Si Cheng was unconscious, you took care of him for two years. If others find out that he kicked you away the moment he woke up, the Si family's reputation in the business circle will really become famous."

No one had taught Tan Ming these ways of the world. Now that she heard Li Mei say this, many things that she had neglected surfaced in her mind one by one, leaving her no choice but to reevaluate them.

For the next half a month, the old couple from the Si family, who had promised to come and take care of the baby, were nowhere to be seen. Tan Ming, on the other hand, saw the photo of the newborn sent by Tan Si in the Tan family group chat. On the morning of the second day after the argument, Tan Si had given birth to a son.

During this period of time, the Jiang family was not idle either. Tan Ming was discussing the naming of the baby with her father and three brothers in the group chat. Li Mei was flipping through the dictionary.

Tan Ming looked at Li Mei and informed her of a long-deliberated decision she had made. "Mom, I want the baby's surname to be Jiang."

Li Mei looked up at Tan Ming in surprise. "Sure! Just take our family name. When you get a divorce, change your name and add it back to the household register."

Tan Ming smiled and nodded. Li Mei excitedly shared this news in the group chat.

Jiang Hai: Hahaha, my Jiang family finally has a successor! Now that my daughter has given birth, I can't be bothered with you brats anymore!

Jiang Xun hurriedly changed the topic.

Jiang Xun: … Dad, the main topic of discussion now is to change the surname. Don't digress from the main topic. With that scumbag's character, giving the baby the surname of Si is simply an insult! An'an, this surname is a change for the better!

Jiang Huai didn't bother with Jiang Hai and repeated Jiang Xun's words: Change for the better +1!
