Chapter 93: The Saga of Bankbook
"You are lying! That’s impossible." Meng Yunhan turned green when she heard the amount that Han Yichen told her. There was no way she could have spent fifty thousand yuan.
Han Yichen immediately took out the small diary in which he had done the calculation and threw it at Meng Yunhan. After his mother scolded him, he wanted to prove to her that he was not as oblivious as she thought he was, but the more he calculated, the more he realised that the small one thousand and two thousand deposits soon crossed twenty and thirty thousand yuan! And when he added the money that he spent on Han Ziyan’s schooling and other miscellaneous expenses, it crossed more than fifty thousand.
That was double what he had spent on his own children.
His mother had scolded him quite severely earlier and asked him if he was the son-in-law of the Meng family or if Meng Yunhan was the daughter-in-law of their family. Now it seemed like he was indeed living like the live-in son-in-law!
Meng Yunhan didn’t dare to open the diary. She simply trembled with rage upon being slapped in front of Han Jianyou like this.
"Han Yichen, you—"
"Look at the expenses that your Meng family incurred on my money. Just look at them!" Han Yichen spat angrily. "I am telling you, Meng Yunhan, you’d better stop pointing fingers at my daughter and children or else you can go back to your Meng family. Anyway, I have given them so much money, they can raise you just fine."
Her eyes widened in terror when she heard Han Yichen say that he was going to divorce her. "You...you are talking nonsense. First, you ruined my reputation, and now you want to abandon me. I am telling you it’s impossible. I have given birth to five children for you."
"I admit that I made a mistake, but you are not the only one who suffered. Clearly, I was also schemed against and yet I was made the scapegoat. I have done a lot for your Meng family, and that should be considered enough of a compensation."
"No. I won’t get a divorce!" How did things turn out to be like this? She wanted to get the money from Han Ruochen and make things all better, but before she could take that sum of money from Han Ruochen, Han Yichen actually told her that he was going to divorce her. How could she get a divorce?
How good was life at the Han family? They had plenty of meat to eat, and she didn’t need to worry about anything. Her man’s ability to earn was also decent. What was more, she had never given the Meng family a penny! All the money was sent to her lover, and he still had a wife. If she got divorced, where would she go?
She didn’t want to get divorced!
"Then you’d better stay put for me."
Han Yichen snorted. Even though he truly hated Meng Yunhan at that very moment, he still held back from saying anything too aggravating; after all, they still had five children together, and one of them was still very young. Even if Meng Yunhan was not a very good mother, her presence might still influence the children. What’s more, divorces were extremely rare in society; if he got divorced, then people would certainly talk behind his back, and that would be detrimental to his children. He didn’t want that to happen.
"Dad?" Han Ruochen walked inside the house and saw her father quarrelling with her mother. She heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that her mother was looking quite deflated.
Han Yichen turned to look at Han Ruochen, and so did Meng Yunhan. She was anticipating that Han Ruochen would take out the fourteen thousand yuan and give it to Han Yichen, such that their family would have substantial savings, but the wretched girl didn’t do it.
Seeing this, Meng Yunhan’s expression couldn’t help but turn dark. She forgot all about the warning that Han Yichen had given to her and asked, "Han Ruochen, where is the money that you earned today?" Don’t even think of pocketing such a big amount!
She was determined to get it from Han Ruochen!
When Han Ruochen heard her question, she was not even surprised. She arched a brow and responded, "I have already deposited all the money in the bank account."
"Where is the bank book?"
"With grandma."
This wretched girl! She was deliberately doing this to her. Meng Yunhan was filled with hatred as she looked at the woman in front of her.
"Why did you give the bank book to your grandma?" Meng Yunhan asked angrily.
Han Ruochen smiled. "Mum, why would I bring the bank book back home? Look what you did when Dad did it. You gave everything to your cousin. Bringing back the bank book is similar to letting it fall into the den of thieves." Han Ruochen didn’t think that there was anything wrong with what she said. After all, her mother was indeed a great thief in her past life. Every time the Han family received anything good, her mother wouldn’t even think twice before keeping a part for Han Ziyan and then sending the rest to Yun Xinye.
"How dare you! I am your mother—"
"Why are you yelling at Ruochen? She did the right thing," Han Yichen rushed to protect his daughter at once. He glared at his wife and said to her, "Why are you yelling at her? What she did was the right thing to do."
Meng Yunhan turned red. If not for Han Yichen, she would have beaten this daughter of hers who was bent on going against her, no matter what!
"What do you mean she did the right thing? Do you even know she caught a snail caviar today? That alone must have been sold for more than fourteen thousand yuan. If she had brought it all back home, then we wouldn’t be in this predicament!"
