Chapter 317: Marry Her Off!
He knew that his daughter was earning a good sum of money but he never asked her how much she earned every day.
Seeing that Han Yichen was still standing up for Han Ruochen, Han Ziyan was disgusted. Her father was just like this; no matter what Han Ruochen did, she would remain his darling daughter. After all, that woman was his biological daughter! Blood was always thicker, wasn’t it? She sucked in a breath and dragged her mother to their parents’ room. "Mom, you have to help me. If you don’t help me, I am worried that I will be ruined!"
After she finished speaking, she could not help but burst into tears. At that moment, Han Ziyan truly felt wronged. Why was it that Han Ruochen could buy such expensive clothes but she had to suffer under Yang Jianming like that? She was better than Han Ruochen in every way, so why was it that Han Ruochen was getting better than her? She could even afford a thousand-yuan clothes from the capital and her? She could not even afford three hundred yuan!
"Don’t cry, don’t cry. What happened? Tell mom, I will take care of your troubles," said Meng Yunhan when she saw Han Ziyan crying like a child. What happened? The child was so responsible and filial, what happened to her? Why was she crying like it was the end of the world?
Han Ziyan sobbed incessantly but she somehow managed to tell Meng Yunhan everything, once she finished speaking, Meng Yunhan was so angry that her face turned pale. "Beast! Beast! How come I never knew that the Yang family had raised such a beast?" how could that bastard bully her daughter like this? She had raised Han Ziyan in the palm of her hands, and that Yang Jianming dared to bully her like this?
"No, this won’t do—I need to talk with that Yang woman, how can she allow her son to bully you like this?" Meng Yunhan got up from the bed as if she was detemined to make a big fuss.
Seeing her like this, Han Ziyan was scared out of her wits; she pulled her mother back and said to her, "Mom, mom! What is wrong with you? Do you even know what will happen to me if you go to the Yang family? Aunt Yang will use this matter to make me get married to Yang Jianming. Do you want to ruin my life?" Why was her mother like this? Did she think that Han Ziyan was not bullied enough?
As soon as she finished speaking, Meng Yunhan deflated. That was right; Yang Jianming had bullied her daughter like this already, if she made a loud fuss, then what choice would Han Ziyan have other than marrying into the Yang family? No, this won’t do. She needed to come up with a way to deal with that Yang family. They could not bully her daughter like this and get away with it.
"Then, what are we supposed to do?" Meng Yunhan asked. "Where can I get three hundred yuan?" She had just taken out more than two thousand yuan to buy a job for Han Ziyan again; even though this was not the high-paying job that Han Ziyan wanted, it was better than nothing. How was she going to get another three hundred yuan?
She looked at her daughter and asked softly, "Is he doing this because he wants you to marry him?"
"I don’t want to marry him, mom!" Han Ziyan was very upset. If it was before, she would have happily married Yang Jianming, as she believed that whatever Han Ruochen liked, it was better than gold. But now, Han Ziyan had seen the world and she had also seen how disgusted Han Ruochen was with Yang Jianming. So how could she marry such a man? She did not want to. "You know his reputation is in shambles but mine is still a bit better. At least no one in the county knows what I have done. If I work hard, I can marry a city worker. Why will I marry someone like Yang Jianming now?"
"If I marry him, how will the colleagues in my working place look at me? What about my superiors? Will they even let me work in the warehouse after finding out that I am the woman who stole her sister’s fiance? I have worked so hard to clean my image there. I cannot ruin it!"
Han Ziyan gritted her teeth angrily. She was not going to get married until Han Ruochen got married. After all, she was determined to get married to a man who was better and much more powerful than Han Ruochen; there was no way she was going to marry a wishy-washy man. If Han Ruochen could get married to a powerful man, then she could as well. Her mind went back to the day when Han Ruochen got into the car with that handsome guy. She had never seen someone as good-looking as that man before.
And from the looks of it, he even had connections with the Emerald Pavilion. A man like that was the cream at the top and he belonged to her! Not someone like Han Ruochen.
Her eyes flickered, and she said to her mom, "Mom, I don’t care; you need to do something, I cannot get married to Yang Jianming, but it is clear that he is doing this to me because of Han Ruochen. Since that is the case, you need to get Han Ruochen engaged with Yang Jianming again! Only then will I be able to survive." Since she suffered such inhuman torture, Han Ruochen had to suffer as well. And she had to suffer it all her life!
"Shh, what are you talking about?" said Meng Yunhan hurriedly. She covered her mouth and looked around before saying to Han Ziyan worriedly, "Have you lost your mind? If your father hears your crazy talk, he will kill you and me!"
