Chapter 130: Han Ruochen’s Adulterer
It was Han Ziyan’s issue if she succeeded in seducing Zhai Heng, but if she wanted to use Han Ruochen as her bridge, then Han Ruochen would certainly not agree.
Furthermore, in her opinion, she and Zhai Heng were not from the same kind of world. It was a rare occurrence that the man came looking for her, but at the same time, she knew that this was just a one-time thing. Surely, this man wouldn’t come looking for her again.
For the first time in his life, Zhai Heng was actually shunned by a woman. He was stunned and looked at the woman in front of him in sheer shock. He could only watch as the thin and fair woman walked past him and headed to the shore.
The coastline was a jagged graveyard of black basalt and crashing white foam.
He walked after Han Ruochen and was stunned when he saw that she was actually walking toward the narrow, treacherous inlet where the tide was rushing in with enough force to make a man drown in a matter of seconds, and she was a woman!
"Where are you going?" Zhai Heng ran after her and caught her by her wrist before pulling her back. Han Ruochen was stunned and almost slipped when Zhai Heng caught her out of nowhere without telling her. If she were not careful, then she would have slipped and fallen into the treacherous waters. She turned to glare at the man and wrenched her hand free of his grasp.
She asked angrily, "What is the meaning of this? What were you trying to do?"
"What was I trying to do?" This was the first time he had seen anyone as reckless and ungrateful as Han Ruochen. "I was trying to save your life. What are you thinking, going over to that dangerous place?"
Han Ruochen looked at the steep path and said in a low voice, "It might be dangerous for you, but it is not dangerous for me. I am telling you to let me go. I am fine."
Zhai Heng wanted to say something more when a figure suddenly appeared behind them.
He was so shocked that he immediately pulled Han Ruochen behind him. He looked at the old woman in front of him and eyed her carefully. "Who are you?"
Madam Yang, however, did not even look at Zhai Heng. Instead, she directed all her rage at Han Ruochen. "Okay, you little bitch. So this was why you were so determined to get rid of my son. You already had someone in line waiting for you."
The old woman was none other than Yang Jianming’s mother.
Her face was full of wrinkles, and she had a mean look on her face. Her narrow, triangular eyes were sizing up Han Ruochen and Zhai Heng.
Yang Jianming was also following behind his mother; he had a complicated look in his eyes.
When Mother Yang saw how protective the man with Han Ruochen was being, she was so angry that her eyes turned red.
"Good for you. You caused my son’s reputation to be ruined and even caused him to get fired, and you are here having fun."
Madam Yang was in her fifties, but she had grown pampered due to the lack of work she had to do under Father Yang’s care. Thus, she was really energetic. Her voice alone was enough to make Han Ruochen’s ears hurt.
In her past life, from the second she was married, she never got along with her mother-in-law. And she wanted to see her even less now that the two of them had no relationship.
She pretended not to see Mother Yang and turned her attention to Yang Jianming. "What do you mean by this?"
Yang Jianming, however, couldn’t say a thing. He was looking at Han Ruochen with a dazed expression.
Though Han Ruochen was dressed in simple shorts and a t-shirt, her hair was tied up in a bun, and with her face that was clean and innocent, she looked even more charming than usual.
When he was told about his betrothal, naturally, Yang Jianming was unwilling. He wanted to get married to the woman from the city, but he still agreed to marry Han Ruochen later on. Why did he agree later on? Was it not because Han Ruochen was beautiful?
She had long black hair, and her eyes were big and watery. They seemed to be able to speak. She was tall and slim and was also a good woman to marry.
He indeed wanted to get married to her, even when his mother wanted to give Han Ruochen to her elder brother.
He did not want to do it, but his mother forced him to give in, saying that his elder brother ended up in such a situation because of him, and he owed it to him. Because of this, even when he did not want to agree, he had no other choice but to agree. He was prepared to hand Han Ruochen to his brother.
But who was this man? Was he really Han Ruochen’s adulterer?
Was it because of this man that she was refusing to forgive him?
But who was this man? He could clearly see that this man was dressed in branded clothes and looked rather rich. Why would a rich man take a fancy to someone like Han Ruochen?
"Who is this man, Han Ruochen?" Yang Jianming asked with a frown.
"What does that have to do with you?"
Seeing Han Ruochen’s attitude toward her son, Mother Yang’s anger flared up.
"You little bitch, how can you talk to my son that way? Is this man the reason you are all acting so smug? I am telling you that no one can save you. You’d better come with me and tell the school that it was a misunderstanding on your part, and my son did nothing wrong. And you also need to pay compensation for ruining his reputation, do you hear me!?"
