Chapter 234 Tan Xinyou is not Old Tan's biological daughter.
Huo Yanchuan originally wanted to throw a big party for Wenrou's birthday, but she refused.
"Let's not go to such trouble. It's fine as a family to sit down and have a lively meal together."
Wenrou doesn't pursue romance or extravagance; for her, every day is already a happy one.
Being with her family in a simple and ordinary way is her biggest wish right now.
Although Wenrou said that, Huo Yanchuan still felt very indebted.
In the past, whenever it was Wenrou's birthday, he was either on a mission or something else that prevented him from celebrating it properly.
This was also their first birthday since arriving in Beijing, and he didn't want Wenrou to suffer any injustice.
Wenrou understood Huo Yanchuan's thoughts, so she said, "I'm not wronged. I feel very happy right now."
Huo Yanchuan didn't say anything after hearing this, but simply stepped forward and gently took Wenrou's hand.
Today he didn't let Wenrou cook; he made a few of his signature dishes himself, and the rest he had someone pack up from a state-run restaurant.
Although he can cook, his cooking isn't as delicious as Wenrou's.
The food at the state-run restaurant suited Wenrou's taste perfectly, and everything she packed back was her favorite.
When Jiang Yan learned that it was Wenrou's birthday, he prepared a birthday gift for her a few days ago: a silk scarf.
He saved all the pocket money Wenrou gave him, and he was reluctant to spend it on himself, but he was very generous when buying things for his two younger sisters.
The gift he bought for Wenrou this time also cost him most of his money.
However, he didn't mind spending any of this; he was willing to spend money on Wenrou and his two younger sisters.
Wen Shuzhen also prepared a gift for Wenrou. Although it wasn't expensive, it was a token of her affection. Even the old man had someone send a birthday gift.
This was the first time Wenrou had felt the happiness of being cared for by so many people. Not only that, her family, including her parents, older brother, and sister-in-law, had also sent her a lot of things.
Even Peng Xiaowan wrote her a letter, wishing her a happy birthday.
Peng Xiaowan is currently working hard to prepare for next year's college entrance examination. Wenrou has also prepared a lot of study materials from Beijing and sent them to her, hoping they will be helpful to her.
Whether in her past life or now, she has never had the chance to take the college entrance examination, so she hopes that Peng Xiaowan can pass it.
Not long after Wenrou celebrated her birthday, a major incident occurred in the military compound.
The investigation into Commander Tan has finally come to an end. Although the authorities did not explicitly state what he had done wrong, his chaotic private life alone was enough to warrant his removal from the compound.
Not only that, everyone now knows that the one who reported Commander Tan was none other than his own daughter, Tan Lin.
With the help of Tan Lin's uncle and maternal grandfather, Commander Tan has now been dismissed from his post and is under investigation.
The Tan family was in complete chaos at this point. When Fang Yuru learned that it was Tan Lin who had reported it, she immediately lost her composure.
"Old Tan is your father, how could you report him? Tan Lin, you...you are a cold-blooded animal." Fang Yuru pointed at Tan Lin and angrily cursed.
Tan Xinyou cried beside her, "Mom, I don't want to leave here. We've lived here for so long, why do we have to move out?"
She wants to continue studying here and doesn't want to go to a regular school outside.
Also, if she can't live here anymore, she'll never see Jiang Yan again.
Although Jiang Yan is unwilling to talk to her now, she believes in her charm.
Given enough time, he will definitely notice me.
"Who do you think you are? What right do you have to tell me what to do?" Tan Lin looked at Fang Yuru and sneered.
She has now achieved her goal, and there is one last gift that she wants to give to Old Tan personally.
At this time, more and more people gathered at the entrance of the Tan family's residence to watch the commotion.
Fang Yuru's friends also came to help her when they saw her being bullied.
"Tan Lin, no matter what, Yu Ru is your elder. She has worked hard all these years since she married your father, even if she hasn't done anything particularly meritorious. How can you speak to her like that?"
"Exactly. If it weren't for Yu Ru taking care of your dad all these years, how would he, a grown man, have survived?"
"Don't go too far. This family isn't your place to make the decisions yet."
With someone backing her up, Fang Yuru straightened her back at this moment.
People were standing at the door, and when they heard that Tan Lin had actually reported her own father, they all cursed her for being extremely disrespectful.
Now everyone is on Fang Yuru's side, feeling that she has had a very hard time and sympathizing with her.
Hearing these voices, Fang Yuru gradually felt a sense of pride.
It seems that the good relationships she has painstakingly built up over the years have not been entirely useless; when it matters, these people are all on her side.
Even if they really move out, Tan Lin's reputation in the compound will probably be ruined by what she's doing now.
"She takes care of my dad?" After hearing what they said, Tan Lin looked as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world.
With a sarcastic smile, she said, "If it weren't for her, why would my mother have divorced my father and taken me with her? She broke up my family. Am I supposed to support her? I'm not that magnanimous."
Tan Lin's words also made the people around look at Fang Yuru. They had all heard about what happened back then. Although Fang Yuru was partly to blame, the main reason was that Commander Tan and her lover had incompatible personalities.
Even without Fang Yuru, both of them were very strong-willed and neither of them would give in to the other. They would have a small argument every three days and a big argument every five days. Even the neighbors were annoyed by the couple's constant bickering.
Later, it was Tan Lin's mother who insisted on getting a divorce and left with Tan Lin.
No matter how much Commander Tan tried to persuade her to stay, she wouldn't listen. She even had a big argument with her family over this.
Tan Lin knew her mother's personality. She had thought before that it was because her parents' personalities were incompatible that Fang Yuru had the opportunity to take advantage of her.
But over the years, the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.
These past few days, she secretly investigated Fang Yuru's past and discovered more clues.
Old Tan wasn't the first man she married. She had previously hooked up with several wealthy men in Beijing and even tried to break up other people's relationships, but she never succeeded.
It's only because Lao Tan is stupid that he was so easily fooled and has been played for so many years.
Wenrou heard about Tan Lin's situation and, worried that she might be bullied, rushed over.
As soon as she arrived at the Tan family's gate, she heard so many people speaking up for Fang Yuru, while Tan Lin stood in the middle. Clearly, she was the one who had suffered the most injustice over the years, yet not a single person was helping her.
Seeing this, Wenrou also admired Fang Yuru's methods.
Over the years, she has not only managed to cultivate a good relationship with Commander Tan, but also built connections within the military compound, getting everyone on her side and speaking up for her. She is truly remarkable.
Wenrou stood at the door and called out, "Sister Tan Lin."
Upon hearing the sound, everyone else looked in the direction of the gentle voice.
During this time, Wenrou lived in the compound and got to know many other people.
Someone saw that Wenrou had come to help Tan Lin, so they advised her, "Wenrou, you don't know what kind of person Tan Lin is. She even reported her own father. That shows how vicious she is."
She looked at the person gently and recognized her as her downstairs neighbor.
They often greet each other when they come in and out.
Hearing that even from such a distance, she was speaking in Fang Yuru's favor, Wenrou felt even more sorry for Tan Lin.
"I know what kind of person Sister Tan Lin is, and I believe she wouldn't do this without a reason."
Wenrou walked over to Tan Lin and stood beside her.
At this moment, none of them were willing to stand on Tan Lin's side, but she was the only one who believed that Tan Lin must have her reasons for doing so.
"Xiaorou, thank you." Tan Lin was also touched to see Wenrou come over, proving that she had not misjudged Wenrou as a friend.
She originally thought she would have to face this alone, but Wenrou came to help her.
Soon, the investigation team returned with Commander Tan.
Huo Yanchuan also came with them.
Wenrou was also taken aback when she saw him.
He then thought of his childhood friendship with Tan Lin, and no matter what, as a friend, he certainly wouldn't stand idly by at this time.
Seeing Commander Tan return, Fang Yuru hurriedly called out to him, "Old Tan!"
Commander Tan glanced at Fang Yuru, then his gaze fell on Tan Lin, his eyes filled with disappointment.
He never imagined that the person who wanted to harm him was not someone else, but his own biological daughter.
Although he admitted in his heart that he owed Tan Lin a lot over the years, he never expected her to treat him like this.
He was angry, but even more so, he felt sad and disappointed.
"Linlin, I'm sorry. I know I've wronged you a lot over the years. I don't blame you for what you've done, but can you tell me why?"
Commander Tan walked towards Tan Lin, and even now, he didn't blame her.
Compared to Tan Xinyou, his daughter Tan Lin holds a more important place in his heart.
After all, when Tan Lin was born, it was the first time he became a father.
No matter how hard or tiring it is every day, as long as I see her smile at me and hear her call me "Dad," I am filled with energy.
He watched Tan Lin grow up, and she is still the one he loves the most.
As for Tan Xinyou, she was busy with work and I didn't spend much time with her.
To make up for these losses, he could only buy her all sorts of toys and snacks.
When Fang Yuru saw that Lao Tan had not completely given up on Tan Lin at this time, her expression immediately turned somewhat ugly.
She called out to Commander Tan, "Old Tan."
Then, she pinched Tan Xinyou again, and saw her running towards Commander Tan, crying and screaming.
She ran and cried, "Daddy!"
Tan Xinyou ran to Commander Tan and hugged her.
She absolutely would not allow anyone to take her father away from her, not even her own sister.
She can only be her father; no one can take him away from her.
"Don't cry, Xinyou, Daddy's here." Seeing Tan Xinyou's tears, Commander Tan's heart softened immediately, and he reached out to pick her up from the ground.
At this moment, Wenrou glanced at Tan Lin beside her and saw that she was expressionless and didn't care at all, so she had to swallow her words of comfort for the time being.
Tan Lin sneered at the sight, hoping he would still be able to hug her in a moment.
The results of the paternity test she gave Xiao Xun last time came out. Although she had waited so long, the result was just as she had guessed.
She checked the time; Xiao Xun should be arriving soon.
Sure enough, just as she was thinking this, she saw a familiar figure walk in through the door.
"Oh my, it's so lively here?" Xiao Xun was also taken aback when he came in and saw this scene.
He then walked over to Tan Lin and handed her the test results.
"Your order has arrived. Here are the test results. Whether you want to handle it privately or deal with it now is up to you."
After delivering the items, Xiao Xun had nothing more to do, so he simply stood next to Huo Yanchuan.
Huo Yanchuan was also surprised to see Xiao Xun.
He glanced at what he had handed to Tan Lin, looking puzzled, wondering what they were trying to do.
Wenrou and Huo Yanchuan exchanged a glance at each other. However, they were both Tan Lin's supporters today, and they would help her no matter what happened later.
Tan Lin glanced at Fang Yuru and saw a fleeting smugness in her eyes.
Then her gaze fell on Tan Xinyou, who was in Commander Tan's arms, and she saw that although she was being held, she was secretly sticking her tongue out at her.
Her mother had the same smug expression on her face, which disgusted her.
She was just thinking about how to handle the paternity test report. She originally planned to give it to Lao Tan privately and let him deal with it himself.
But now, seeing the smug expressions on Fang Yuru and her daughter's faces, she changed her mind.
"This is a paternity test report that I had Xiao Xun send to a foreign research institute. It's for Tan Xinyou and Lao Tan..."
After Tan Lin finished speaking, she glanced at Fang Yuru with a smile, only to see her expression suddenly change.
She stared in disbelief at the report in Tan Lin's hand, wondering when Tan Lin had started to doubt Xin You's identity.
Over the years, even Lao Tan never doubted how she knew.
This report... she absolutely cannot let her read it aloud.
"Linlin, what are you talking about? Xinyou is Old Tan's daughter. Everyone in the compound knows that. Even if you want to kick us out, you can't joke about something like this, can you?"
Fang Yuru wanted to make one last struggle, but Tan Lin didn't give her any chance at all.
"Fang Yuru, before you married Lao Tan, you had a fellow villager, okay? According to my investigation, he's still in prison. He's the biological father of your daughter, isn't he?"
After Tan Lin finished speaking, she stepped forward and handed the report to Commander Tan.
However, before Commander Tan could even reach out, Fang Yuru impatiently stepped forward, trying to snatch the report away.
But her hands weren't as quick as hers; she intercepted the report before Fang Yuru could reach it, then looked at her coldly, "If you had nothing to hide, why would you be in such a hurry?"
