Chapter 370: A Misunderstanding
Chapter 370: A Misunderstanding
The Tan family had almost been ruined by Yuan Zhengwen’s mistakes in the previous lifetime.
However, Tan Wenci and the three Tan brothers had committed themselves to helping the company overcome the hurdles, and luckily they had succeeded.
But Tanyue had been significantly undermined. It was nothing like it was now, with its current success as the country’s leading household goods company.
After his dismissal from Tanyue, Yuan Zhengwen spent a long time trying to get his startup business off the ground.
After Yuan Keqing married Wei Keli, embarrassment overwhelmed Wei Keli’s parents whenever their in-laws became topics of conversation at social events.
To avoid further shame, they backed Yuan Zhengwen’s company and helped it to thrive.
On the other hand, the Tan family became completely unmotivated after the death of Tan Mo.
They had lost their edge following the mess Yuan Zhengwen had brought upon them.
But their performance was destroyed after the death of their precious family member.
Tan Wenci’s real intentions behind his effort to scale up Tanyue had been to make it a refuge that Tan Mo could rely on at any time.
If Tan Mo were to be married to Wei Keli, whose family was prominent, Tan Wenci was worried that her in-laws might treat her badly. Thus, her family had to have the capability of standing up for her should anything happen.
Although Li Xiangrong was Xu Mingzhen’s best friend, Tan Wenci remained worried for his daughter’s well-being.
At the same time, even if Tan Mo did not marry Wei Keli, her own family had to be powerful regardless of her spouse’s family background. Only when she had a powerful family standing behind her would her in-laws not dare to bully her.
Her family needed to be capable of seeking justice for her if her in-laws mistreated her.
And that was Tan Wenci’s motivation to expand Tanyue.
But with Tan Mo dying, who would he continue to work hard for?
At that point, Tan Wenci lost his goal and life’s purpose.
Tanyue was further weakened and soon it paled in comparison to Yuan Zhengwen’s company, which had flourished with Wei Zhijian’s support.
Then, soon after this, Tan Jinqi had discovered something bizarre about Tan Mo’s accident.
As he began to probe the case, all the clues started to point to Yuan Keqing.
During this lifetime, he had never heard Tan Mo tell him that it was never too late for revenge.
Nor had he heard her say that one should get revenge by whatever unscrupulous means possible.
Tan Jinqi had been more upright in his last lifetime than he was now.
He had been far less cunning, self-absorbed, and nasty than he was currently.
The murder of his sister had made him overflow with hatred, which caused him to lose his cool.
Naturally, Yuan Zhengwen and Wei Keli could not stay passive and watch from the sidelines while the Tan family came after Yuan Keqing.
The Tan family was already no match for the Yuan family at that time, let alone for Wei Keli’s family.
In the end, the Tan family was utterly wiped out.
Fortunately, in this lifetime, Tan Mo had helped Tan Wenci notice Yuan Zhengwen’s misconduct right at its beginning and had him fire the pest from the company early on.
This had happened before Yuan Zhengwen had made any mistake that could bring trouble to their company.
