Chapter 313: Being Threatened
"You..." Meng Yunhan was so angry that she clutched her chest. She had thought that even if her son did not listen to her, at least her husband would. But who would have thought that Han Yichen would actually stand by his son’s side? They were trying to drive her to her grave, were they not? She slapped her hand on the armrest and said angrily, "How can we not care? Even if he is married, he is still our son. You let him do whatever you want, and he will run himself into trouble sooner or later."
"If he runs into trouble, then so be it," said Han Yichen, sighing heavily. "He will learn his lesson if he hits a blindspot."
In short, he had no intention of doing anything. His son had grown up and now had a family of his own. He could do whatever he wanted.
"You!"
In the end, Meng Yunhan was so angered that she really passed out!
"Mom!"

While the Han family was in turmoil, the Yang family did not have it any better. Yang Jianming had lost his job and even when he tried his best to look for one, no one was willing to let him have a job. After all, his reputation had been ruined throughout the county and unless he went to the capital, the chances of him getting a job were close to none.
What was more, no one was willing to get married to Yang Jianming anymore. She had no idea who the wretched person was, but someone spread the rumour that if a woman married Yang Jianming, then she would have to serve both her youngest son and foolish brother-in-law. The rumour was as ugly as it could be. Mother Yang wanted to defend herself but she had a thief in her heart. She indeed wanted her first daughter in law to be entangled with her eldest son. After all, this was what Yang Jianming owed his elder brother.
If not for saving him, her eldest son would be fine.
"Mom, did the woman from the west village also refuse? " Yang Jianming’s mood was not good. He had been trying to find a wife for himself, but none of the matches was good; what was even more insulting was that none of those women wanted to marry him either! This was way too insulting. He was still a well-educated man. How could those ugly, country bumpkins refuse him?
Mother Yang was also upset over this matter. However, when she heard her son questioning her, her eyes turned, and she snapped at him, "Who can you blame but yourself? Who asked you to be so careless and be fooled by that vixen!? Now look at the mess. That Han Ziyan is not even willing to meet you, and we have lost such a good daughter-in-law like Han Ruochen."
Han Ziyan was so shameless. She seduced her and made him break his good engagement but when it was time to take over, she ran away faster than a rabbit. If not for Han Ziyan, then she could have easily brought Han Ruochen over. That girl was naive and easy to fool; as long as she played her cards well, she could have arranged for Han Ruochen to follow her eldest son. That girl was sensible and she could earn a decent sum of money; her eldest could have lived a life full of glory. It was all because of Han Ziyan that everything was in ruins.
She turned and glared at her son angrily. "I told you not to get involved with that woman. With one glance, I can tell you she was restless. Look, was I not right in the end? Han Ruochen is still the same, but that shameless bitch is going around meeting this man and that. I heard that even the job that she has right now is because she is entangled with someone."
Yang Jianming’s face flushed red. It was not that he did not want to fight his mother, but he had nothing to say. His mother was right; he was fooled by Han Ziyan. That woman was only after his job and the good background that his family had, but once his reputation got damaged, she never came to meet him. "I know, Mom; don’t worry; I will make that woman pay for what she did to our family very soon."
Mother Yang snorted. She said angrily, "It would have been better if that girl got pregnant...that way we could have pressured the Han family into marrying that girl in our family. Now it is good. Not only did we lose the elder one; even the younger one is not under our control."
When Yang Jianming heard his mother’s words, he could not help but be moved. What if Han Ziyan were truly pregnant? The two of them had gotten together many times when they were sneaking around; what if Han Ziyan ended up getting pregnant? It would be good if she were pregnant.
He could always manipulate that woman if she was pregnant!

"Ah chee! "Han Ziyan sneezed loudly as she cupped her nose with her hands.
"Ziyan, are you okay?" One of the colleagues who worked in the warehouse could not help but show some concern when he saw that she was sneezing.
"Ah, I am okay," said Han Ziyan as she waved her two hands in refusal. "I am just feeling a bit irritated because of the dust and nothing else." As she spoke, she did not forget to smile at the man. Though Han Ziyan was not as beautiful as Han Ruochen, she was also pretty. When the man saw her smile at him, he couldn’t help but be a bit flustered.
He said to her, "There...there is no need to push yourself. You can leave this task to me; I will do it."
Hearing this, Han Ziyan’s eyes widened slightly, and her brows could not help but furrow a little. "This...is this okay?"
"Yeah, yeah, sure, just leave this matter to me." The man waved his hand as if it did not mean much.
"Then thank you, Brother Zhao. I will treat you to a meal someday," said Han Ziyan as she batted her eyes at the man and took her leave.
"It seems like you are having a lot of fun."
