Chapter 504: Its Your Fault (II)
"Mom!" Han Ziyan immediately stepped forward and caught her mother by the arm. "Let’s go back home; I am feeling so hungry." She couldn’t let her mother see the man. If she realised that the man was looking at Han Ruochen, then she could forget about living a good life in the Han family. It was bad enough that the entire Han family was against her; if her mother also started to support that damned vixen, then what would Han Ziyan do?
No.
She could never allow her mother to find out that Han Ruochen actually had such an admirer.
"If you are hungry, then why do you keep looking here and there? Let’s go back home; I will cook something for you." When Meng Yunhan heard that her good daughter was feeling hungry, she immediately stopped looking around. She started to feel worried as if she were a second late in feeding Han Ziyan; the latter would end up fainting.
Seeing that Meng Yunhan was no longer looking around, Han Ziyan heaved a sigh of relief. However, as she followed after her mother, she could not help but glance at the man in the jeep. Her heartbeat started to accelerate. He was truly the most handsome man she had ever seen. If only she could get him.
However, when she thought about it, she realised the man was actually attracted to someone like Han Ruochen; Han Ziyan was a tad bit disgusted. How could any good man be attracted to Han Ruochen? Surely there was something wrong with him. If not, why would he even think of getting closer to someone like Han Ruochen?
Han Ziyan wanted to convince herself by thinking that there was something wrong with the man himself. But when she remembered his good-looking face, she could not help but bite her lower lip. Why? Why was Han Ruochen so lucky? First it was Yang Jianming, then it was Zhao Mingzhu, and now it was this mysterious man with his expensive jeep.
Why were these men hung up on Han Ruochen?
Han Ziyan did not believe that she was lacking in any manner. So why couldn’t she get a man like these?
"What are you doing? You are already back home, and instead of cooking for your sister, you are lazing around." On the other hand, Meng Yunhan had no such qualms or worries. When she saw Han Ruochen sitting on the couch, she could not help but burst into flames. "You know that your sister is sick; why can’t you help around the house a little more. She is hungry, so why don’t you go and buy some terrapin to make soup for her?"
Meng Yunhan was still burning with anger when she thought about how Han Ruochen would rather give the terrapin soup to outsiders than to her own sister. That was a good thing, and it should have been left for their family. But to think she would actually give it away just like that!
Han Ruochen was lost in her thoughts. She was still thinking about what Zhai Muchen had said to him about meeting someone important tomorrow when she heard her mother’s mean comments. She frowned hard and looked at her mother, her gaze chilling.
"Go back to your room." She patted Han Beijiang on the back. Since their mother was back, surely there would be a big fuss. She knew that with everything that happened at the hospital, her mother’s fury must be soaring in the sky. She was, of course, not scared of her mother’s anger; if anything, she was simply worried about her brother getting involved in the mess.
Han Beijiang was worried about his sister and raised his head.
"Go." Han Ruochen knew that he was worried and smiled at him. Once her young brother was gone, she turned to look at her mother. "Mom, it seems like you have forgotten. Let me refresh your memory: Han Ziyan is not sick or injured. She is pregnant, and that too before marriage. What kind of good treatment are you expecting? It is good enough that I have not thrown her things out of the house and announced in the village that we are severing the relationship with her. What more do you want?"
"You! What nonsense are you saying?" Meng Yunhan was furious when she heard Han Ruochen bring up the matter of Han Ziyan’s pregnancy. She turned around as if worried that there would be neighbours pressing their ears against their house. "Do you even know what others will say if they find out—"
"Mom, did you stop Beijiang from going to school?" Han Ruochen did not have the heart to listen to Meng Yunhan’s nonsense. Her mother always had the knack to blabber about one thing after another. If she did not stop her from making a fuss now, then Han Ruochen knew that she would never be able to talk about Han Beijiang being dropped out.
Meng Yunhan choked. She did not expect Han Ruochen to suddenly question her about this matter. However, she still puffed her bosom out and stuck her neck out. "So what if I did? He is my son, and I know his calibre better than anyone. You are just messing around, wasting money by enrolling him in that special school. What kind of job can an idiot even find—"
"He is not an idiot." Han Ruochen snapped. The one thing that she always hated was when someone called Han Beijiang an idiot. "If there is an idiot in this family, then it is the one standing next to you. She actually got pregnant before getting married. Who can be a bigger idiot than her?"
Meng Yunhan: "..."
Han Ziyan: "..."
"Sister, do you really have to embarrass me like this?" Han Ziyan was furious enough to blow up, but she suppressed her rage and pretended to be pitiful. "I know that you are angry with me, but truth be told, the reason I am in this situation is all because of you."
Han Ruochen: "..."
Oh, I had no idea that this pot of blame could be pushed onto my head.
