Chapter 980: A Blatant Threat
Han Xiwang lifted his leg and pulled it back without any backbone.
He looked back at Old Man Han, feeling all wronged. "Dad, this is my family business. I hope you won't interfere!"
"Your family business?"
If Old Man Han didn't show his power, then Han Xiwang wouldn't respect him. If he did that, then the whole Han Family would collapse.
Old Man Han slapped the table beside him and scolded Han Xiwang loudly. "You weren't born by me? Cihui isn't my grandson? Are you saying that you don't recognize me as your father?"
Old Man Han had indeed banished Han Xiwang from the Han Family but after he changed his behavior, Old Man Han's attitude toward him improved.
If Han Xiwang dared to say that he wasn't a member of the Han Family, Old Man Han would definitely kick him out without hesitation!
Han Xiwang didn't have the courage to do that. He could only bow his head and said sadly, "Dad, I didn't mean it that way."
"If you don't mean it that way, what do you mean?" Old Man Han's eyes widened in anger. It was so obvious that he was angry. "I can't care about Cihui's life? Han Xiwang, do you think your wings are hardened, so I can't do anything about it?"
Han Xiwang really felt persecuted.
Han Cihui was his son. Why can't he do anything and decide anything about him?
Han Xiwang raised his head and looked at Old Man Han. He held his breath and said, "Dad, I couldn't interfere in Jun and Szeto's life because you won't let me either. But Cihui is my biological son. Is it wrong for me to decide his life? I won't harm him. I'm only doing this for his own good. How can I watch him jump into the fire pit?"
"How do you know it's a fire pit?" Old Madam Han looked at Han Xiwang unhappily. "That girl is all right. She's a good person, obedient, and has a good temperament. She'll have no problem entering our Han Family!"
"Yes!" Old Man Han nodded. "I don't think there's a problem either."
Han Xiwang thought that Old Madam Han and Old Man Han were unreasonable.
He had said so much, but he couldn't believe that they didn't understand what he meant.
Han Xiwang was very angry. He wanted to speak calmly, but he couldn't. His voice suddenly became louder. He screamed like he was in a fight. "No problem? Our family is the Han Family, a famous family. How many people have racked their brains to enter the Han Family? Why should my son marry a poor and penniless woman? That woman is only interested in our family's money! Let me tell you, don't trust this woman's character. She's so frightening! Once Cihui marries her, he'll not be able to live a good life!"
"If Cihui wants to marry, he must marry a young woman from a noble family, a woman who can help our family's business! Even though he won't be very happy after marriage, but after he gets the benefits, his life will be much better rather than marrying a woman who has nothing!"
Hearing Han Xiwang's reasonable words, Old Man Han's heart really hurt.
When Han Xiwang was against Liang Zixuan and Han Yuanjun's relationship, they scolded him and lectured him. They all thought that he had changed and understood.
But they didn't expect that after so long, he would still utter such harsh words.
"Fool!" Old Man Han was so angry that his chest heaved up and down. "With the current status of the Han Family, do we still have to rely on a woman to receive benefits? What do you think of the men of the Han Family? They're all scum, they're all idiots?"
Han Yuanjun was very familiar with Han Xiwang's nonsensical words. He pursed his lips and laughed mockingly. "What uncle meant is that after I became the president of the Han Group, I have treated you unfairly and made you starve and homeless? So you want to sell Cihui for money?"
Han Xiwang blushed and awkwardly turned his head. "That's not what I meant!"
Han Yuanjun laughed softly and gently patted his leg. "So what uncle meant is that you're worried about me? As Han Group's president, you feel that I will lose our family's entire business for marrying a woman who has nothing? So you are looking for a way out for yourself?"
Han Xiwang really felt that Han Yuanjun had a sly and sharp tongue. He had never been able to defeat him before, and certainly not now.
And for some reason, he was a little afraid of this nephew.
Ever since Han Yuanjun had asked him questions, Han Xiwang's voice had become quieter. Now it was only as big as a gnat. "No, Jun. I really didn't mean it that way."
"It's good that you didn't mean it that way." Han Yuanjun wiped the mocking smile off his face and suddenly looked up. He looked at Han Xiwang sharply. "Uncle ..." he said. "I don't care what you think. My father and I are the heads of the Han Family. We may not have the right to interfere in Cihui's personal affairs, but I will put my words here. If anything happens to his wedding because of you, if anything happens to his relationship because of you, don't think that I, as your nephew, will give you any face!"
Han Xiwang's face alternated between green and red. He was very upset in his heart.
Old Man Han, Old Madam Han, Han Yuanjun..
He didn't dare to offend any of them.
After all, he had to rely on the Han Family for the rest of his life.
Just like the situation with Zhang Xiuying. The Han Family probably wouldn't bat an eyelid if they didn't have a son like him because they put more emphasis on family harmony.
As long as it affected their family relations, they would chase him away without mercy.
Han Xiwang, however, felt persecuted. He sighed and said earnestly, "Yes, what you said makes sense. But as Cihui's father, I can't see him jumping into the fire pit."
"Only Cihui himself knows if it's a fire pit." Han Yuanjun smiled indifferently. "Cihui is no longer a child. He's almost thirty years old. Don't say he doesn't know anything. Uncle, you don't have to worry about these things. And if you really do something to hurt Cihui or Aunt Xiuying, don't blame me for not reminding you."
This was a blatant threat.
Han Xiwang had nothing more to say.
After all, he had no right to say anything in the Han Family. He couldn't decide about the marriage of his own son!
Han Xiwang turned away in disappointment and left without saying a word.
Old Man Han called after him. "Where are you going?"
Han Xiwang stopped but didn't turn around. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to buy a plane ticket back to China. Even if I can't stop him, I at least want to see what my future daughter-in-law looks like."
He sounded so wronged. As a father-in-law, he'd never met his future daughter-in-law. Not only that, but he was also completely despised by the whole family.
Old Man Han didn't speak, nor did Han Yuanjun. They just let Han Xiwang go.
After Han Xiwang left, Han Szeto laughed. He clapped his hands and slapped Han Yuanjun's shoulder. "Jun, you're becoming more and more like the head of the family! Look how impressive you were just now. You actually left uncle speechless!"
Han Yuanjun slapped Han Szeto's hand disdainfully. He said with a serious expression, "Big brother, don't joke with me. I'm still the same. As long as the person stands in the way of our family's harmony, I can't let him live."
Old Man Han nodded in agreement. "Jun has done very well in this matter. Our family is a big family. With so many members, the situation will be complicated. If we don't have an iron hand, we won't be able to suppress so many people. Jun, I'll leave Cihui's matter to you."
"Don't worry, grandfather." Han Yuanjun stood up. "I will protect the peace and harmony of the Han Family."
