Back then, Tang An was just a young man from an ordinary family. He looked refined and honest.
By chance, he met Mu Xiyan, a rich young lady.
The two of them quickly fell in love. No matter how much the Mu family objected, they still resolutely married.
The Mu family's head doted on his daughter and gave her a very generous dowry. After the marriage, Tang An proposed to establish a company and give Mu Xiyan a better life.
Mu Xiyan loved him to the core. How could she watch him work hard for a living? Naturally, she did not hesitate to take out her dowry and establish an entertainment company. When the Mu family found out, they could only acquiesce and secretly help Tang An. That was why Tang An became so established today.
However, what Tang An could not forget was his first love when he was young—Han Mei.
Not long after Tang Entertainment got on the right track, Tang An coincidentally met Han Mei again. He interacted with her many times behind Mu Xiyan's back, and finally, Tang Yuan was born.
At that time, Mu Xiyan had given birth to Tang Shu, who was only a few months old.
Although the Mu family was willing to help Tang An back then, they were careful not to let Tang An get too many shares.
At that time, Tang An and Mu Xiyan were still loving on the surface. Although he was thinking about the shares in her hands, he did not act rashly. At least on the surface, he had always followed his father-in-law's wishes and did not dare to show any ambition for the shares.
Now that Mu Xiyan had passed away, the shares should naturally be returned to him. How could he let Tang Shun inherit them?
He had done his best for Tang Entertainment for so many years and finally managed to expand the company. However, he was still nameless. When he thought of the shares in Tang Shun's hands, Tang An gritted his teeth in hatred.
If he succeeded this time, Tang An's wish for many years would have been fulfilled. However, he had to be blackmailed and threatened at this time.
Tang Shun was a man of his word in the Tang family, but he could not raise his head in front of the Mu family. Moreover, he had sent someone to beat up the Mu family's biological grandson. If the Mu family found out, how could he survive?
Tang An let out a shaky breath and gripped the phone tightly. "How much do you want?" he asked nervously.
"Boss Tang, you're straightforward. After all, we didn't succeed this time. I don't want too much from you. 10 million yuan. We brothers will split it evenly. Don't worry, we promise to shut up and not say anything else."
Tang An almost crushed the phone, but his weakness was pinched in the palm of his hand. He could only admit defeat. "I'll call you later. Remember what you said. If you dare to spill a word, I won't let you off."
After hanging up, Tang An's limbs felt a little weak. He took a deep breath to stabilize his emotions.
Downstairs in the living room, Tang Yuan was chatting happily with her mother. She was sitting on the couch, her eyebrows similar to his. She was good-looking and elegant, and Han Mei was listening attentively to what she was saying.
Under the dim yellow light, the mother and daughter's gentle eyes were reflected.
Seeing this scene, Tang An finally calmed down. He still had his precious daughter. For Tang Yuan, he had to get the shares of Tang Entertainment no matter what.
Tang An walked downstairs steadily and smiled kindly at the people downstairs. "What are you talking about? Why are you so happy?"
"Hubby," Han Mei said happily when she saw that Tang had settled down. "Director Zhu has taken a fancy to our daughter. He made an exception and let her participate in a variety show!"
"Our Yuan Yuan is really amazing." Tang An nodded in relief and looked at Tang Yuan in satisfaction.
Han Mei was very pleased with herself. Her daughter was so much better than Mu Xiyan's daughter. This made her hate her even more. "That's right. Director Zhu is one of the top directors in the country. All the shows he personally directed are popular. It's not easy to get on his variety show. Our Yuan Yuan hasn't even entered the entertainment industry yet, but she was chosen by Director Zhu. Yuan Yuan is still the best!"
So what if Mu Xiyan was Tang An's first wife? She was short-lived and unlucky. Her daughter was also useless. How could she compare to her daughter?
If not for that short-lived person occupying the position, her daughter would have been the legitimate eldest daughter of the Tang family. Why would she be in such an awkward position now? Even as Tang An's biological daughter, she could not tell anyone.
"Dad, Director Zhu's show will definitely have many seniors. I'm afraid of being bullied. Dad, you have to help me." Tang Yuan took Tang An's hand and shook it affectionately.
Tang An patted the top of her head and comforted her. "Don't worry. Leave it to me. No one will dare to bully you."
