Chapter 316: Crazy Jealousy
Yang Jianming was determined to make Han Ziyan suffer with him no matter what.
Han Ziyan also understood his rotten plans and was so angry that she was shivering. This man, he was really rotten to his core, what was she thinking by flirting with him at the start? Who would have thought that behind his gentle and refined face there was such a scheming and cruel man?
When Yang Jianming saw that Han Ziyan was upset, he felt a sick sense of pleasure. Patting her on the cheek, he walked out of the room. Either way, this woman was destined to be under his feet!
When Han Ziyan returned home, her face was pale like the moon. She felt quite upset as well as scared. Yang Jianming was now walking barefoot but she had a lot of considerations. She couldn’t let that man ruin her like this!
"Ziyan, what’s the matter with you?" Meng Yunhan noticed that there was something amiss with her precious daughter. She hurriedly caught Han Ziyan by her wrist and took her to the couch. "What is going on? Why are you looking like you have seen a ghost?"
"Mom—"
"Ruochen, you are back?"
Just as she was about to tell Meng Yunhan about what happened with her, Han Ziyan heard her adoptive father’s voice from the porch. She raised her head and looked at Han Ruochen, who was holding a bunch of bags in her hands. Upon closer look, she realised that Han Ruochen had actually gone shopping in the mall at the county! With her sharp eyes, she noticed a pastel pink dress that she fell in love with at first sight. She forgot all about the unpleasantness that she had suffered at the hands of Yang Jianming when she spotted the dress in the bag.
Without getting Han Ruochen’s consent, she snatched the dress from Han Ruochen. She read the label and sucked in a breath. "You actually got this from the capital? Where did you get the time to visit the capital?"
"Return it to me!" Han Ruochen pulled a long face and snatched the dress right back like a young leopard cub who would not take no for an answer. "You can put your little heart to rest. Dad did not give me any money and I got them with my own earnings. These clothes are expensive and I don’t want you to tear them. It will be a loss if you do that!"
She received the money from the Zhai family in the morning; maybe they were too busy because of Zhai Heng and Yun Tao’s matter so instead of sending the money right into her hands, the Zhai family deposited that money in her bank. She received the notification on her phone early in the morning. She used to use a pager but after she opened a bank account, Han Ruochen realised that she needed a mobile phone. So of course she had to buy one because she was determined to not suffer in this life.
Earlier she went to the county and went to look for Sister Xia; she wanted to ask her if her elder sister could come to her shop and work there. After all, she had learnt how to dress up from Han Xuehan. As a disciple, she was so skilled, so Han Xuehan must be even better. Xia He had, of course, agreed with her; she even showed her the new batch of clothes that she received from the capital.
Since Han Ruochen and Xia He could be considered friends, the woman allowed her to purchase a few sets of clothes for her family. Of course it did not include Han Ziyan and Meng Yunhan.
"Dad, this one is for you. You can wear them when you have a meeting." Han Ruochen handed the clean set of clothes to her father and then returned to her room; she did not want her father to refuse her so she hurried upstairs.
"Oh, you did not have to buy these for me." Han Yichen looked at the pale blue shirt with beige pants and a set of leather shoes. Even though he had never been to the capital, he knew that the price of these clothes was really high. Just look at the quality of the clothes; the fabric of the shirt was really good.
Han Ziyan also saw the quality of the clothes and was so angry that she stomped her feet. She looked at her father and cried, "Dad, just look at my sister’s attitude." if she could wear that pink dress to the warehouse, she could become the envy of all the women. Han Ruochen was so stingy. She did not want to snatch that dress from Han Ruochen forever; she just wanted to borrow it for a while. There was no need to be so tense.
"What are you making a fuss for?" Han Yichen could not help but ask with a frown.
"Dad, these sets of clothes are really expensive. They must be more than a thousand yuan; after all, they are from capital."
"She actually bought such expensive clothes?" Meng Yunhan was both shocked and furious. This wretched girl, she was really without a conscience. No matter what, she was her mother and had carried her for nine months in her belly; why couldn’t she buy her a dress to show some filial piety? She turned to look at her husband and said to him, "This won’t do. Tell her to return the clothes; she should know that we have no money at home, instead of giving us the thousand yuan, she is buying clothes for herself. She has no heart! Tell her to return the clothes and bring the money home; we need money almost everywhere!"
"What do you know?" Han Yichen was shocked upon learning the price as well but he also felt warm at heart. He was so old already but his wife had never bought him a piece of clothing. Sure enough, it was his little padded jacket who was willing to care for him. She glanced at the two women and said, "In the past, you two used to buy clothes as you liked; why can’t Han Ruochen do the same? She is a grown-up woman and knows what she is doing; there is no need to interfere so much."
