Han Ruochen's hatred for Han Ziyan and her unborn daughter reached a whole other level. When she returned, Han Ruochen had no intention of targeting that girl who wasn't even born, but after finding out the truth, she swore that she would make sure that Yang Jianming and Han Ziyan would get married.
She had a thorn to pick with that shameless white-eyed wolf! Was she too ruthless? Was she too cruel for having a feud with that girl? But only Han Ruochen knew what kind of shame and humiliation she had suffered at the hands of that girl. Han Ziyan's daughter had inherited the cruelty and selfishness of her mother; in fact, she was even ten steps ahead of her mother.
It was she who egged Han Ruochen's husband on and asked him to break her legs and tie her to the pole like a dog.
Han Ruochen did not understand what kind of feud that girl had against her, but now that she recalled Han Ziyan cutting her wrist with a knife every week and how the essence of the pearl activated after receiving her blood earlier in the ocean, she realised that maybe the pearl sensed her as its owner and repelled Han Ziyan and her daughter. Which was why they needed to keep her alive and close to draw her blood every week.
A flash of hatred glinted in her eyes. But she suppressed it. It was alright; in this life, she was going to make those who made her suffer pay.
Han Yichen, on the other hand, thought that it was because Han Ruochen was almost bullied. The anger in his heart surged once again, and he decided that he was going to take a day off tomorrow and cancel the betrothal. Such a shameless man. Not only did he get involved with his adopted daughter while being engaged to his second daughter, but he even tried to ruin her reputation, all for the sake of snatching the job that legitimately belonged to Han Ruochen.
No, he, a small pig farm owner, certainly could not have such a son-in-law. This marriage needed to be broken.
Han Ruochen and Han Yichen had different thoughts, but their end goal was the same. They wanted to get rid of Yang Jianming.
"Alright, if you want to sell the job, then sell it. Your father is still young and can support you." Han Yichen patted Han Ruochen on the shoulder.
Han Ruochen's eyes turned red when she heard the familiar words. In her past life, her father said the same words to the Yang family as he begged them to let her go. He told them that even if he was without a penny, he could still raise his disabled daughter, but those heartless beasts! They didn't let her go till the end.
Han Ziyan even killed her father together with her daughter and Yang Jianming. Back then she thought that it was all because she hated the Han family because of Meng Yunhan but now Han Ruochen knew that it was because Han Ziyan didn't want Han Ruochen to get out of her grasp for she was greedy about the Sea Scanning System.
"Don't worry, Dad. I will think of doing something else," Han Ruochen promised. Since she had such a good golden finger, it would be a waste if she didn't try it.
Han Yichen nodded and then turned around to walk back to the house. He didn't say it, but inwardly he was worried. Han Ruochen was lucky that she could get a job at the commune; what could she even do after selling her job? But he knew that his daughter had suffered a blow, and this job was indeed a hot potato.
By tomorrow, everyone in the village would know what Yang Jianming did; while some would definitely look down on him, there would be many who would try to follow in his footsteps. It was better to drop the job before things became worse.
Han Ruochen and Han Yichen returned home, and the second Han Ruochen stepped in as Meng Yunhan rushed at her. With the awakening of the scanning system, Han Ruochen had long seen her mother rushing at her but she deliberately didn't move and stood still.
SLAP!
The sound of the crisp slap echoed in the house and Han Yichen, who was taking off his shoes at the threshold, rushed in without taking his shoes off at the doorstep. He looked at Meng Yunhan, who was glaring hatefully at Han Ruochen and then at the swelling on Han Ruochen's face. What else could he not understand? He rushed in and pushed Meng Yunhan away from Han Ruochen.
"Have you lost your mind? How dare you slap my daughter like that? Are you her mother or her enemy!?" Han Yichen glared at Meng Yunhan; his eyes were murderous, and it simply scared Meng Yunhan.
Her face turned as white as a sheet. Earlier, she had thought that Han Yichen had gone back to the pig farm, as he often spent the night there, for the farm was still developing. She didn't know that he was following after this jinx, or else she would have never raised her hand at her.
Han Yichen had never lost his temper with her and could be considered a good husband. But now that the man who had never raised his voice at her had suddenly flared up, how could Meng Yunhan not be scared?
Han Yichen looked at his wife and said to her, "You come with me to the room. I have something to tell you."
He did not want to say the ugly words in front of his children. Han Beijiang was also present, and he didn't want to scare his youngest child.
Hearing what Han Yichen said, Meng Yunhan wanted to object, but the second she opened her mouth, Han Yichen raised his head and shot her a glare. All the arrogance that Meng Yunhan had disappeared in a second, and she followed him while holding her breath.
