Ye Heng was also speechless. “It’s fine if you say this at home, but don’t say it outside. Otherwise, I’m afraid you’ll be beaten up. What’s wrong with women? Women can only be low ranked employees and not leaders? Besides, Ye Tang studied business management overseas and happens to be a professional. Her ability is also very outstanding. She’s most suitable to be a leader.”

He paused for a moment and continued, “Then tell me, other than Ye Tang, is there a more suitable candidate?”

Perhaps some families still had feudal thinking and felt that women could not be leaders.

With the liberalization of thought, there would surely be more and more women leaders in the future, and gender would not be a threshold or a requirement for choosing an heir.

Large families like theirs should keep up with the times and so as to stay useful and relevant.

Zhao Lan stood up in anger. “Why not? Isn’t Ye Tao doing well in the company? He’s conscientious every day. The senior manager thinks highly of him!”

As soon as he said this, the entire living room fell into a strange atmosphere.

Ye Heng finally understood that Zhao Lan wanted her eldest son to take over the Ye Corporation. Her ambition was obvious.

There was a cold smile on his lips, but it quickly disappeared.

Zhao Lan thought that it was an illusion.

Ye Tao quickly stood up and bowed. “Mother, you’re too kind. I’m not of the Ye family’s bloodline to begin with, and my management ability is average. Ye Tang is more qualified to inherit the company. Mother, don’t say that again.”

He couldn’t help but curse in his heart. Zhao Lan was really stupid.

He was trying his best to reduce his presence. Why was this stupid mother talking about him again?

Ye Chang’s face also turned cold. He looked at his mother, who was fooling around. “Ms. Zhao, let me remind you not to go overboard. Do you think we don’t know about your relationship with Ye Tao?”

Zhao Lan’s heart skipped a beat, and she felt the hair on her body stand on end.

Her voice trembled as she said, “What relationship? What are you talking about? I don’t understand.”

Her relationship with Ye Tao?

Ye Tao sighed and looked at her mother helplessly. “Mom, everyone knows that I’m your illegitimate son. It wasn’t an accident that I was adopted by the Ye family at all. You lied to President Ye. Under such circumstances, how can you have the face to let me inherit the Ye Corporation? This is too shameless!”

“You! You guys!” Zhao Lan looked at Ye Tao in shock and then looked around at Ye Heng and the others. She realized that they all had understanding expressions.

In other words, everyone knew.

What was going on? Could it be that Ye Tao took the initiative to say it?

She was completely stunned and did not know what to do. How did the secret that she had hidden for so many years become known by the entire family?

In that case, her words just now were too shameless in their eyes.

Zhao Lan secretly calmed herself down and tried her best to think of a countermeasure to prevent herself from being so embarrassed.

She rolled her eyes a few times before saying pitifully, “Hubby, I’m also a victim. Back then, I was bullied before I had Ye Tao. Don’t be angry. I didn’t hide it from you on purpose. I just care too much about our relationship.”

Zhao Lan felt that she could only escape this calamity by pushing the blame to others.

Of course, she could not tell the truth.

If the Ye family knew that she had a lover, she would be the one at fault. In the future, she would receive less assets and the children would hate her.

Therefore, she had to make up a tragic story.

Ye Heng’s expression was cold, and his gaze seemed to be able to see through Zhao Lan. “Continue making things up? Do you think I won’t investigate the matter of an illegitimate child?”

Zhao Lan really took him for a fool.

Ye Tang’s face was also cold. “Aunt, if you don’t want others to know, don’t do it. Do you think you can hide it for decades and forever?”

What a joke.

Zhao Lan was angry and frustrated. Even Ye Tang, this evil creature, had caught her in the wrong. It seemed that her family’s status would decline in the future.

However, her most important task now was to win her husband’s heart.

As long as Ye Heng loved her as much as before, she would still be the legitimate Mrs. Ye.

Zhao Lan put on a look that she thought was affectionate and looked at Ye Heng. “Hubby, as long as you’re willing to forgive me, I’ll listen to you in the future. We’ve been through so many storms for so many years. Don’t leave me!”

In order to make Ye Heng’s heart ache, she tried her best to squeeze out tears.

She did not believe that Ye Heng would throw her away just like that after so many years of relationship.

After all, Ye Heng had loved her for so many years..
