Chapter 183 High, really high
At first, everyone thought it was those troublemakers again, but when they peeked in, they found that it was a completely different group of people who came in.
These people looked much older than the previous ones, mostly around fifty or sixty years old, and there was even an old man who was pushed in in a wheelchair, who was at least eighty years old.
The guests were all dumbfounded, wondering if Cai Tianbing's fishing pond hunting area was really that wide.
This is truly a case of not sparing anyone, from eighty-year-old men to eighteen-year-old youths.
The middle-aged man pushing the wheelchair stared intently at the stage, his face contorted with rage.
"Hu Yin, you vixen! You even swindled my dad out of his retirement money! Are you even human?!"
Guests: Huh? ???
What followed was like a remake of an old drama; the plot was the same, but all the actors were different.
The people who barged in also started causing chaos at the wedding, shouting that they were being scammed while smashing things. They then distributed pre-printed paper evidence, except that the bride had changed from Cai Tianbing to Hu Yin.
[Hu Yin's fish are causing trouble too? What a coincidence!]
[It's no surprise that Cai Tianbing became a professional con artist; it's practically family tradition, because Hu Yin is the real mastermind!]
When Tao Yuantian first showed interest in Cai Tianbing, Cai Tianbing was unsure whether she should stick to her principles and continue being with Tao Qingjun, or turn to Tao's father. So she discussed the matter with her mother.
Hu Yin felt that since the family business ultimately belonged to Tao Yuantian, marrying the person in power was better than marrying the heir. After all, she and her daughter were only after money, so it was better to go straight for the right person.
An family: ...
It turns out the upper beam is crooked and the lower couplet is crooked.
[Even later, when Hu Yin realized that Tao Qingjun was interested in her, she only got together with him to keep the younger one from interfering with the older one's marriage to her daughter.]
[But then Tao Yuantian took a liking to Hu Yin. After discussing it, the mother and daughter felt it would be more reliable for the older generation to stay together, and the younger generation to stay together.]
An family member: Brilliant, absolutely brilliant.
They all admired the mother and daughter.
That's a brilliant plan.
That way, both of them could marry into the Tao family, not only winning over both the father and son, but also ensuring that the Tao family line would continue to be passed down to their children—it would be perfect!
Otherwise, if Cai Tianbing and Tao Yuantian were to get married, Tao Yuantian would not agree to let his son marry Hu Yin. They can't just wait until the Tao family's assets are passed on to Tao Qingjun and then try to seduce him again, can they?
That would create too much uncertainty.
[Heh heh, the Tao family father and son thought they were in control, using others as substitutes, but they were actually completely fooled by this mother and daughter.]
[But these two women, mother and daughter, are usually very skilled at fishkeeping, especially Hu Yin, who has never had a mishap in all these years. How could it be such a coincidence that their fish both came looking for them today?]
The Tao family father and son watched the farce unfold twice with grim faces, and their gazes toward Hu Yin and her daughter finally turned hostile.
“Yuantian, I told you before, I got divorced a long time ago and raised Xiaobing all by myself. It wasn’t easy for me.”
Tears streamed down Hu Yin's face, making the Tao family father and son feel sorry for her.
"Am I wrong to just want to find a man to lean on?"
“But I’m worried that Xiaobing is too young and that my husband might not treat her well after we get married. So I want to observe her more and find someone generous, reliable, and good to her. I want to wait until we date for a while before getting married. It’s their own impatience that makes them say I’m deceiving them. Aren’t they just too impatient?”
"Besides, I didn't force anyone. It must be that they felt unbalanced because they saw that I was unwilling to marry them but was willing to marry you, so they wanted to cause trouble and embarrass the Tao family."
"Mom, it's all my fault. I'm such a burden to you!"
Cai Tianbing also cried and hugged her. The mother and daughter seemed to have suffered a great injustice, and they hugged each other and cried.
"Never mind, Xiaobing. In the end, it's all my fault. I failed to handle my own problems, which is why you couldn't have a proper wedding."
“Yuantian, it’s all my fault as the mother. Can you please not involve Xiaobing in my situation? I’ll go with them now. I’ll handle my own problems and won’t bother you.”
It's impossible to say that Tao Yuantian wasn't angry.
This kind of thing happens once, and it's one thing, but it happened again just a few minutes later. Isn't this just giving everyone a show of their misfortune?
Firstly, Hu Yin's tearful appearance was truly pitiful, especially since she had a face that resembled Ni Jiaqin's by eight points. Secondly, he also found Hu Yin's words very pleasing.
Hu Yin, whom so many men failed to win over, was willing to marry him. Doesn't that mean he's better than all of them?
Tao Yuantian felt his pride was greatly satisfied, just like a fighting rooster that had defeated all the males.
Even if Hu Yin loves his money, so what? He has plenty of money, enough for Hu Yin to follow him wholeheartedly for the rest of her life.
Tao Yuantian's thought process is truly bizarre. He thinks that Hu Yin is easier to control because she's with him for money, and she won't micromanage him like Ni Jiaqin was, who was so stubborn and acted like she was going to die just because he wanted her to raise an illegitimate child.
Wait a minute, an illegitimate child?
The An family members were also completely confused: What illegitimate child?
[Tao Qingjun isn't actually Tao Yuantian and Ni Jiaqin's son? He's Tao Yuantian's illegitimate son with his mistress!]
[Ni Jiaqin was unable to have more children due to illness, but the Tao family desperately needed a son. Coincidentally, Tao Yuantian's mistress was pregnant and it turned out to be a boy. He planned to bring the baby home after it was born and present it as Ni Jiaqin's child, thus fulfilling Old Master Tao's wish.]
Ni Jiaqin refused, saying she would rather divorce Tao Yuantian, take Tao Qingxu away from the Tao family, and let him be with his mistress.
However, Tao Yuantian didn't want to divorce her because he felt he still loved Ni Jiaqin deep down; he just couldn't control his infidelity.
This was the first time the An family had ever heard of someone so confidently explaining their infidelity. What did they mean by "unable to control themselves"?
Why not cut it off if you can't even control it?
Grandpa Tao also looked down on the mistress, thinking that it was enough to bring his grandson back and there was no need to let the mistress into the house, so he gave his son an idea.
They publicly claimed Ni Jiaqin was in the hospital for pregnancy preservation, but in reality, they had Tao Yuantian, using his status as her spouse, lock her up in a mental hospital, supposedly to break her spirit and force her to submit. They promised to release her whenever she agreed.
Even Ni Jiaqin's parents, wanting to curry favor with the Tao family, tacitly approved of this practice.
[Later, Ni Jiaqin committed suicide by jumping off a building...]
