"Old Han, how dare you slap !" ng Yunhan was going crazy. Did this man lose his mind or what? He was slapping her left and right as he wished. They had been married for so long, and yet this man had never raised his hand at her, but these days he would slap her at the drop of a hat. Did he even respect her?
"How dare I? How dare you?" roared Han Yichen angrily. He was so furious that spit was flying from his mouth. "ng Yunhan, you are really good. I thought that you had thought things through, but it seems like I was wrong. An old leopard can never change its spots. Han Ziyan is destined to marry into the capital despite being an adopted daughter, but Chenchen should compromise and marry a mud-legged person? On what basis? You think I am dead? If not, why won’t you stop scheming against my children? What do we even owe you?"
ng Yunhan sucked in a breath. Just now she panicked too much and blurted out the truth that she had buried in her heart. She wanted to say sothing, but she knew that no matter what she said now, Han Yichen would not believe a thing.
"That... That’s because I owe Ziyan too much...wuwuwu...you are being too unreasonable. She lost her mother when she was just a child...wuuuuu... my late sister asked to take care of her. I am just trying to do what I promised my sister—"
However, Han Yichen was not soft-hearted at all when he heard her ntion her late sister. If anything, that only made him even more disgusted. "You were the one who promised your sister, so why should my children be the ones to suffer? ng Yunhan, I am telling you. You better give up causing trouble for my children, or else I will make Ziyan suffer with them. I am still her adoptive father and have a say in whom she is going to get married to! Without paying for her wedding, you can forget about letting her get married!"
ng Yunhan sucked in a breath after hearing Han Yichen’s response. She was angry and scared now. It seed like if she dared to hurt Han Ruochen, her husband would definitely settle the score with Han Ziyan. This was so unfair! She covered her cheek and turned to walk away when her gaze fell on Han Ruochen, who was standing behind her with an air of soone who was watching the show.
Seeing her casual look, ng Yunhan was so angry that she started to tremble. "Are you feeling happy now?"
Han Ruochen rolled her eyes. "Mom, don’t bla for every wrong thing that you do. It’s not my fault that you are adamant about using as a stepping stone for Ziyan. If I get married to a simple family, will you let Dad save his money honestly? No. You will force him into using every penny to marry Ziyan into a much better and influential family than ours. Don’t bla others for not listening to you when all you are thinking about is how to sche against them."
ng Yunhan was furious. "You...how can you talk to like that? I am your mother!"
"Ha! It seems like you also rember that you are my mother. The way you are trying to ruin my life so actively, I would have thought that you were my enemy. Tell , Mom, why is it that every ti Han Ziyan wants sothing, my siblings and I need to give way to her? Even ruin our future for her. Just because she has no mother? Then we are all the sa! Because we don’t have a mother either!"
Han Ziyan often used the moral high ground that she was an orphan and did not have a mother to take care of her, but was it even true? She had ng Yunhan to take care of her, but what about Han Ruochen and her siblings? They had no one. ng Yunhan poured all her maternal love on Han Ziyan, so where did it leave them?
Han Ruochen felt angrier and angrier when she thought about the past and the present. "Do you even know what the villagers say outside? They say that we have a mother who gave birth to us, but we were not raised by one. Do you know why? Because you only know how to take care of Han Ziyan. You wish that Han Ziyan were your daughter, but you know what? We siblings also think so! It would have been better if we had soone else as our mother instead of you."
Was ng Yunhan the only one who disdained them? Han Ruochen and her siblings hated her as well. She was extrely selfish, petty and manipulative. For the sake of Han Ziyan, how many tis did they have to suffer? And yet her mother still pretended to be the victim again and again? Did she think that no one in the family had any temper?
After she finished speaking, she walked past her mother, looking sowhat indignant.
"See? See! How she talks to ?" ng Yunhan snapped out of her daze when she saw Han Ruochen walking away. She turned to look at her husband, hoping that he would stand up for her, but how could Han Yichen support her after listening to Han Ruochen’s heartfelt words?
He raised his head and glared at ng Yunhan. "What else do you expect her to do? ng Yunhan, see, this is what you have done. Your own children hate you now. I hope that Ziyan at least has so filial piety for you, or else I am afraid that when you are old and weak, no one will be there to take care of you."
Seeing how Han Ruochen and his other children were cutting ng Yunhan off, Han Yichen hardly believed that they would treat their mother well in the future.
ng Yunhan pursed her lips when she heard the words of her husband. She did not take his words seriously at all; after all, she was their mother. How could they not take care of her when she beca old? She was their responsibility! What was more, she also had Han Ziyan. Her precious daughter cared so much for her, even if those brats did not take care of her, Han Ziyan definitely would.
She snorted and turned on her feet before walking away.
Han Yichen saw the indifference on her face and knew that the woman had not taken a word seriously that ca out of his mouth. He sighed, not understanding what was going on in his wife’s head. It was clear that none of their children respected her, and yet she was blind to such a simple thing.
Maybe she believed that with Han Ziyan by her side, there was nothing that she needed to worry about.
Han Yichen did not say anything. These past few days, he had been keeping an eye on Han Ziyan. When they were young, Han Ziyan indeed seed bubblier than his two daughters. She also knew how to win the hearts of people around her with her sweet tongue and was active in interacting with others. But looking at the current situation, he realised that even though Han Ziyan was good with her words, she was not at all considerate of their family and family situation.
She knew that there was no money at ho, but she insisted on buying clothes and spending money on als lavishly. She kept making promises that she would take care of her mother and whatnot, but Han Yichen had yet to see her bring anything back ho. What was more, Han Ziyan had never taken out a penny to help with the family expenses.
Don’t think that he was blind to what was happening at ho now. In the past few days, he noticed that even though Han Ruochen had not brought any money ho, she brought the groceries and so seafood with her. If she caught sothing good, she would leave so share for her family mbers. But what about Han Ziyan? She only knew how to move her mouth and say that Han Ruochen was not sharing the rations with them, but did she buy a piece of at for them?
No.
Han Ziyan only knew how to flatter her mother and make herself sound filial, but when it ca to doing sothing on the surface, she failed in every manner.
At that point, Han Yichen only had one thought in his mind, and that was that it was better to stay close to his biological children and listen to them rather than staying close to Han Ziyan.
If Han Ziyan knew that her little sche had caused the scales in Han Yichen’s heart to tilt toward his biological children, she would be so mad that she would have been driven crazy by him.
