"You…"
Yang Jianming didn't expect Huo Ruochen to slap him suddenly. Ever since the two of them started dating, Huo Ruochen might have treated everyone with cold indifference, but she had treated him the best. But now the same woman who wouldn't even dare to lose her temper with him actually dared to slap me.
He looked around the police station for someone to take a stand for him; however, with what Yang Jianming had done, it would be a surprise if anyone wanted to support him. At that moment, every member of the police station was looking at him as if they were looking at the scum of society.
Not only did this man rely on this young woman, but he even cheated on her with her own adopted sister. And the young sister of this woman was not good. She knew that this man was the fiancé of her sister, and yet she got close to him and even formed such a disgraceful relationship with him.
It was too much. It was simply too much. How could they bully someone to this degree?
Realising that he was quite alone in this police station, Yang Jianming's face turned red with humiliation and anger. He turned and glared at Huo Ruochen furiously, but Huo Ruochen was no longer the same Huo Ruochen. She simply scoffed and then turned around to sit back on the chair on which she was sitting and silently waited for Han Ziyan to arrive with Meng Yunhan.
Now that Yang Jianming's link to Han Ziyan was disclosed, surely the director would call for her. Sure enough, the director didn't let her down and called one of the police officers and told him to go and call Han Ziyan from the Han family.
Huo Ruochen curled her lips in satisfaction, seeing the scene unfold in front of her. She knew that even if Yang Jianming was caught, it was impossible for her to drag Han Ziyan down with just this much. That woman was way too sly to trip over something so small. But Huo Ruochen wasn't even aiming for that.
Her aim to make this fuss was something other than just dragging Han Ziyan down.
Soon enough, the police officer returned with Han Ziyan, who no longer looked as flashy and arrogant as she usually did. And when the woman saw Huo Ruochen sitting alive and well in the police station, her already worried heart turned even more worried. Only one thought in her head remained.
It was over.
Meng Yunhan was also stunned when she saw Huo Ruochen. She knew that something was wrong, and Han Ziyan might have made a wrong move. But she still hid the panic in her heart and said to Huo Ruochen in an angry voice, "Ruochen! What kind of mess have you made? Why did the police come looking for your sister? Out with it, what did you do to drag your sister down? I am telling you. You'd better be honest or don't blame your mother for not recognising you."
When Huo Ruochen heard the words of Meng Yunhan, she curled her lips mockingly. It was always like this. Whenever Han Ziyan would do something wrong, her mother would threaten her and tell her that if she didn't give in, she would ignore her. After getting ignored by her mother a few times, Huo Ruochen became obedient. Thus, as long as Meng Yunhan said those words, she would accept the blame even if she didn't do anything.
But not anymore!
Ignoring the desire to listen to her mother after being brainwashed for so many years, Huo Ruochen got to her feet. If she followed the command of her mother, then she would be letting down the heavens for giving her another chance.
"Sister," Han Ziyan began. She thought that Huo Ruochen was coming over to apologise and didn't doubt anything; however, the next second, Huo Ruochen reached out and pulled the pendant off her neck.
She flipped it open and chuckled softly. "Really, our family really did raise an ingrate. Ziyan, you are really good. You actually bit the hand that fed you!" She threw the pendant on the ground, right in front of Han Yichen.
Her father looked down and saw Yang Jiangming's picture inside the pendant, and his expression turned livid. What else could he not understand?
"Han Ziyan, you!" Han Yichen gritted his teeth and glared at his adoptive daughter; he was clearly very disappointed in her. "How can you do such a shameless thing?"
Han Ziyan hadn't expected such a thing to happen, and her mind went blank. She looked at Huo Ruochen, who was looking at her with hatred so strong that she took a step back and then glanced at Han Yichen, who was staring at her as if she had done something criminal.
"I—"
"What? What are you blaming Ziyan for? Isn't it her fault that she couldn't even keep a man?" Meng Yunhan knew about Yang Jianming and Han Ziyan; she had even silently acquiesced to the relationship. With Yang Jiangming having a job at the commune, it wouldn't take long for him to go to the county compared to letting Huo Ruochen take advantage of it. It was better for her daughter, Han Ziyan, to take him.
"Yunhan, you—"
Huo Ruochen turned and looked at her mother, who dared to spout such nonsense without any guilt and asked in a low voice, "Mom, you don't look surprised. What's the matter? You already knew about their relationship?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Meng Yunhan's face turned colourful, and a flash of guilt glinted in her eyes.
Han Yichen, who had slept with this woman for more than twenty years, naturally noticed it. His eyes turned red with anger, and he growled, "Good! Very good! Yunhan, I really underestimated you!"
"No, don't believe her nonsense. I didn't—"
"Shut up!" Han Yichen snapped at Meng Yunhan. He raised his finger and pointed at her before saying to her, "I will deal with you later on." He then turned to look at Yang Jianming, who was locked up in the cell and stated, "First, I will deal with this cheater!"
