Han Ziyan shuddered upon hearing the sudden roar. She turned and looked at the threshold of her home and then glanced at her adoptive father, whose face, if possible, had turned even darker. He slowly turned and looked at her as if silently questioning what kind of trouble she had caused this time around. She raised her hands and waved them violently. "I didn't do anything, Dad. Please believe me." She wanted to swear an oath and admit that she did nothing wrong but then stopped herself. Han Ziyan knew how many wrongs she had committed in the past and didn't dare to say anything.
Han Yichen also noticed her hesitation and his face went dark. "Go and open the door." Whether she had done something or not, he would find out once the door of their house was open.
Han Ziyan wanted to resist, but she couldn't with Han Yichen watching her every move. She could only purse her lips and walk to the front door. The person outside seemed to have lost her patience and was now banging on the Han family's front door, like she was determined to break it.
Han Ziyan was nearly trembling by the time she reached the front door, and when she opened the door, her face went pale as all the blood drained out of her face. She looked at Mother Yang and felt the floor slip right away from under her feet. Han Ziyan just needed to take a look at Mother Yang's expression, and she knew that there was something very wrong about the entire situation.
"Auntie— auntie Yang…" she stammered, feeling scared by the minute.
"Now you know how to be scared," sneered Mother Yang as she pushed Han Ziyan to one side and strode right into the Han family home like a queen. When she saw Han Yichen and Meng Yunhan standing in the living room, Mother Yang smiled at the two of them. She began, "I hope you are doing well today, Brother Yichen."
She twisted her waist a little while speaking to Han Yichen.
When Han Yichen saw the actions of the woman, he turned his face away. Even though he was fighting with his wife, he was not going to pay attention to another woman.
"What is it, Mrs Yang?" Even though Han Yichen didn't like the actions of Mother Yang, he still asked her what she was doing at his house. He could see that there was something going on, but nothing could be seen on Mother Yang's face. Behind him, Han Ziyan tugged at her mother's sleeve and signalled her to stop Mother Yang from speaking. Even if she had no idea for what reason Mother Yang came to see her, she had a feeling that it was nothing good.
Meng Yunhan also thought the same. So, before Mother Yang could say anything, she interrupted her. "Sister Yang, why did you come here? I was just going to return the money that I borrowed from you." She then turned to look at Han Yichen and said to him, "My mother needed fifty yuan a few days ago, and you were on a business trip. So I had no choice but to borrow it from Sister Yang."
She then caught hold of Mother Yang's wrist and pulled her inside the room without letting her speak.
"Mrs Yang, I know that there are some things that have made you upset but—"
"Ahahaha, upset?" Mother Yang laughed mockingly. "Meng Yunhan, I am not upset. I am freaking livid. Your daughter was the one who approached my son, and she is the one who seduced my Jiangming. But when he got into trouble because of her, she ran faster than a rabbit! Now my son is locked up in prison and she…"
Mother Yang shot a look of sheer venom at Han Ziyan, who lowered her head fearfully.
Seeing this, Mother Yang curled her lips. She turned and said to Meng Yunhan, "I don't care, Yunhan. I want you to make Ruochen write a letter of understanding and get my son out of the police station; if not, then we both will be in great trouble. Don't forget that my uncle is the deputy village chief of this village."
Mother Yang was confident about her connections. She couldn't deal with the big officers but bullying small villagers like Meng Yunhan and her daughter was still an easy job for her and her family.
When Meng Yunhan heard Mother Yang's words, her expression turned dark. She said to her, "You don't have to worry about it. I will tell my daughter to write the letter of understanding as soon as possible."
"You better," Mother Yang sneered. "Because if you still want to remain in laws with our Yang family, you will help me get my son out or else humph!" She turned around on her feet and walked out of the room, feeling quite refreshed after threatening Meng Yunhan.
Inside the room, Meng Yunhan was so angry that she was shaking.
It was one thing that Han Ruochen had changed so much but Mother Yang? How dare she threaten her in such a manner? Did she think she had no temper?
And that Han Ruochen – how dare she cause so much trouble for her?
If she had not given birth to Han Ruochen, Meng Yunhan would have almost suspected that Han Ruochen had been swapped by someone and this Han Ruochen was a fake one.
"Each of them is fiercer and tougher than me; all of them are my lords! How am I going to get that girl to write a letter of understanding now?" The furious yet helpless Meng Yunhan couldn't help but roar in a low voice. She was full of humiliation and felt like crying.
In the past, Han Ruochen wouldn't have dared to go against her but now the situation was no longer the same. If she dared to say one word, then Han Ruochen would retort with twenty. What in the world was she going to do now?
