Chapter 82: Dividing Lines
"Meng Yunhan! I really don’t know where I should even begin!?" Han Yichen was furious. All these years, he thought that his eldest daughter was stubborn and refused to listen to him when he told her not to marry that man. He believed that his daughter was marrying that man because she was hoodwinked by him. Who would have thought that it was his wife who had threatened her!?
"That...that... I admit that I made a mistake, but isn’t our daughter happy now? And as for what this girl said—I am telling you that I haven’t done it! I truly didn’t," said Meng Yunhan hurriedly. "I didn’t do anything like what she is telling you!"
"Mom, mom, forget it. Didn’t Sister Chen say that she was feverish? Maybe she heard something else and misunderstood. No matter what, Sister Chen was sick and could’t understand anything. You should put yourself in her shoes and try to understand her situation." Han Ziyan, who saw that Meng Yunhan was getting angry, held onto her arm and tried to shake her off. From the looks of it, Han Ziyan didn’t want to let this argument continue.
When Han Ziyan said this, Han Ruochen turned her head and looked at her with an assessing look in her eyes.
At this very moment, Han Ziyan appeared to be sincere in persuading Meng Yunhan, which was clearly very weird.
After all, Han Ziyan had never been kind to her. Even when she begged for the woman to let her off and let her die after her entire family was wiped out, that woman laughed in her face and mocked her for her pathetic condition. A woman like her, could she ever be kind to her?
When Han Ziyan noticed Han Ruochen looking at her, she guiltily turned her head to one side and hid behind Meng Yunhan. But then she realised that her actions were no less than accepting that she was the culprit, so she hurriedly stepped outside and asked with her chin tipped up, "Sister, what is the matter? Why are you looking at me like this?"
"What do you think?" Han Ruochen laughed, then took a long breath.
Till now, she thought of Han Ziyan too lightly. She believed that the woman was still way too young.
But it seemed like she was the one who underestimated her enemy! In her previous life, this woman had committed adultery and then blamed her for seducing her husband every now and then. And when she knew that she could use Han Ruochen’s blood to earn money and fame, she made Han Ruochen her cash cow.
Such a heartless woman, she had actually revealed her fox tail at this very moment. That night, it was true that someone had been talking to Master Yun in the middle of the night. However, that someone was not Meng Yunhan; it was Han Ziyan! This woman was the one who wanted to hand her over to Yang Jianming’s elder brother. Now Han Ruochen was suspicious that maybe it was Han Ziyan, who came up with the idea of pushing her to Yang Jianming’s elder brother and gave it to the Yang family.
Such a sinister woman. No wonder she could get to such a high position in her last life. It was because this woman was ruthless to the point of terrifying any normal person.
"Dad, I can only say that I did hear someone that night. If you all want to pretend that it never happened, then I will let you know that the thugs did say that the Yang family had the same intention. Who gave them this ridiculous idea? Anyway, as long as my reputation was ruined, and it was proven that I had betrayed Yang Jianming, then one of us would have definitely succeeded in what they wanted. You can deny all you want, but I do not dare to let my guard down. Anyway, the money that I earn is for my younger siblings and for emergencies. I am not going to let anyone take it and fill the coffers that they had emptied."
"Since you emptied the family, fill it on your own. I didn’t take a penny, so why should I fill it up?"
Han Ruochen heaved a sigh and then walked away. She was badly shaken and didn’t want to say anything else. To think that Han Ziyan had been scheming against her ever since they were so young; no wonder this woman had no shame in causing trouble for her when they got older. In her mind, Han Ruochen was just a stepping stone for her. As for whether her father would blame her mother, Han Ruochen didn’t care.
In her past life, her mother knew what Han Ziyan had done, and she still took her side and even took the blame. So, who else could she blame but herself?
Han Ruochen’s words were really formidable. Han Yichen’s trust was really shaken in Meng Yunhan. He turned and looked at the woman with a hint of distrust in his eyes and snapped at her, "You heartless woman! I should have never married you..."
"No, Yichen—"
"Shut up! I don’t want to hear it. From now on, you can take care of Han Ziyan, and I will take care of my children. If you dare to scheme against my kids ever again, let me tell you, we won’t have a life anymore!" Han Yichen didn’t want to have a divorce, but his children were his bottom line. When he thought about how Meng Yunhan wanted to give his daughter to the Yang family to clear the way for Han Ziyan, he was filled with disgust!
He glared at Han Ziyan, who hurriedly lowered her head and walked away.
He knew very well that his wife was a straight fire fool; the fact that she went around and asked for Han Ruochen to be drugged—it didn’t seem like her line of actions, no matter how he looked at it!
