An Xin had achieved her goal and did not make an overly enthusiastic effort to retain her.
An Ruo returned to the villa just as Tang Yuchen had come back from exercising in the garden.
His body was truly strong. Injuries that might take others months to heal, he managed to recover from in just over half a month.
"Where have you been?" he asked casually.
Instead of answering, An Ruo counter-questioned, "Do you really have evidence that seventy percent of the An family’s shares belonged to my father?"
"Of course, without evidence, do you think I would talk nonsense?"
"Then when will you help me reclaim those shares?"
Tang Yuchen glanced at her with a smirk, "Finally decided to take back what’s yours? Don’t worry, it’s a matter of the next few days. Even if you want the whole An family, I could obtain it for you."
An Ruo pressed her lips together, asking nothing more. After all, she only demanded fifty percent, which shouldn’t be too excessive.
Just as she was about to turn and go upstairs, the man suddenly called out to her, "Wait, I haven’t eaten yet. Go make me something to eat."
An Ruo did not refuse, and went to cook for him after setting down her bag.
When she came out with the meal, she saw Tang Yuchen holding a white bottle.
It was the contraceptive pills she had bought in country A; she always carried them in her bag, never expecting him to rummage through her belongings.
Slamming the tray onto the coffee table, An Ruo snatched the bottle from his hand angrily, "Why are you rummaging through my things!"
The man crossed his legs, his thin lips curving upward slightly, "Why so nervous, is there some secret in your bag that I shouldn’t know about?"
"Even if there’s no secret you can’t just go through someone else’s belongings, it’s basic manners."
An Ruo took her purse and checked inside. Everything was still there.
Tang Yuchen’s deep eyes watched her, and he casually asked, "Have you been taking birth control pills all this time?"
An Ruo gave him a cold glance and turned to head upstairs.
"Woman, having my child would bring you more than ten An families could."
Tang Yuchen’s lips curved into a faint smile, a deep light flashing in his eyes.
An Mingqi always held a faint hope that Tang Yuchen didn’t have any evidence to prove that all the shares that originally belonged to his elder brother, An Mingquan, were in his hands.
Unfortunately, a few days later, he received a legal letter from Tang Yuchen, shattering his hope to pieces.
The legal letter from Tang Yuchen was very clear. He had definitive evidence that after An Mingquan’s death, An Mingqi had meddled and inherited all his shares.
Thus, he demanded the return of seventy percent of the shares, otherwise he would initiate a lawsuit.
This issue plunged the An family into deep worry.
If they had to return seventy percent of the shares, what would be left of the An family? Practically nothing.
Moreover, where would he get seventy percent of the shares to return?
In the years he spent developing the An family business, he had sold off some of the shares he held; currently, he retained only seventy percent of them.
If he traded it all back, he would have nothing.
If Tang Yuchen filed a lawsuit and the law ruled against him, the cost would be even greater than just the seventy percent.
It was possible he might even face several years of imprisonment.
Just thinking of the consequences was unbearable for An Mingqi. The An family was his, containing all his hard work; he couldn’t let go even in death.
An Mingqi was troubled and irritated, clueless on how to resolve this issue.
