Chapter 211 Concealment
"Aunt Bai was so harassed by him that she stopped seeing him,"
"Then... why did Han Rui say that you killed him?" Han Jiaojiao asked, puzzled.
The smile faded from Han Yi’s face, "Because... he showed up again later."
Recalling that incident, Han Yi was still somewhat displeased as he spoke in a calm tone, "At that time, Aunt Bai married into the Han Family, and the major media outlets were all watching. That man naturally found out too. He came to Qingjiang City and asked Aunt Bai for money, saying if she didn’t lend it to him, he would sue her in court. Officially, he was your father, and he had the right to reclaim his daughter. Aunt Bai wasn’t afraid of going to court; her adoption procedures were legal, and she knew many excellent lawyers. But once it went to court, you would undoubtedly need to appear. Aunt Bai didn’t want to hurt you, so she lent him the money."
Through Han Yi’s words, Han Jiaojiao had already formed a preliminary impression of this adoptive father she had never met. Greedy, shameless, fond of getting something for nothing...
"Once you lend money, there’s a second and third time. It couldn’t be kept secret forever; both my dad and I found out about it. My dad talked to him in person, hoping to resolve the issue peacefully, but later... I hired someone to kill him."
After Han Yi finished speaking, he quietly watched Han Jiaojiao, trying to read something from her face.
Han Jiaojiao looked at him blankly, not knowing what to say. After a long while, she managed to utter, "Brother, why... didn’t you tell me?"
