Zhou Mo: Why?

Liang Xinyun: He changed the trajectory of my life, forcing me to live in an atmosphere of oppression and lack of freedom for over thirty years. How many thirty years are there in a lifetime? With just one word from him, I decided to devote my best years to this. You and Han Chen are in love and happy together, and I'm happy to see it happen. But I'm tied to someone I've never had any feelings for, and after all these years, I can only gain a modicum of freedom through having children. Why shouldn't I hate him?

Zhou Mo: [Hug][Hug].

She instantly understood what Liang Xinyun hated.

It stemmed from the forced marriage with Han Zhen, and from the grievances she had suffered in the Han family over the years.

Just as she said, what she lost were the best years and prime of her life as a woman. Why did Han Hongde ruin it all with just one word?

In her later married life, she and Han Zhen, with whom she had no feelings for each other, could only fight for the freedom she wanted by "making" a child.

Having a child is not an easy thing. Han Chen is now at this age, and as a mother she still has to worry and work hard.

No step along the way was easy.

The only good thing is that Han Chen's father, Han Zhen, is a sensible man. Although he is fully devoted to his work, he will still lend a helping hand as long as Liang Xinyun asks for help.

But this "good" cannot make up for the suffering and sin Liang Xinyun has endured over the years.

It is understandable that Liang Xinyun hates Han Hongde.

Zhou Mo felt sad for Han Hongde.

After living for so many years, it is not easy for so many people to be "abandoned and deserted" by him.

Nowadays, Zhou Mo has come to terms with Zhou Zheng's death a little, but this is not the result she ultimately wants.

She still has to wait for a fair trial.

At least Han Hongde is gone, so the possibility of her getting the result she wants has greatly increased.

The only resistance now is probably Han Zhi or several other elders of the Han family.

However, Han Hongde's death has kept them busy enough, and they may not have the time to deal with Han Ze's affairs.

Zhou Mo felt that he had finally gained a slight advantage.

Yet the day was not yet over.

There was more bad news from the Han family.

Han Haojie is gone.

Long before Zhou Mo was hospitalized, news of his emergency treatment came from Han Haojie.

After the efforts of the ICU, his vital signs were finally maintained, but... it is hard to say how long they can last.

It can be as short as a few hours or as long as... just a few days.

Han Haojie finally waited for his only final ending - death.

The Han family was once again plunged into grief.

In just one day, one member of the oldest and one of the youngest generations of the Han family passed away.

Who wouldn’t feel uncomfortable if this happened to them?

Especially the immediate family members of the two families.

The saddest people were Han Ju and Han Pei.

For Han Ju, both his father and grandson are gone.

For Han Pei, both his grandfather and son are gone.

Liang Xinyun originally planned to attend only Han Hongde's funeral, but Han Haojie's death made her return to Dongjiang as soon as possible.

Han Haojie is a very well-behaved person and is very popular in the Han family. Liang Xinyun has always liked him.

Han Haojie's death was a much greater blow to Liang Xinyun than to Han Hongde.

When Zhou Mo heard in Dongjiang that two members of the Han family had died in one day, his heart became even calmer.

There is no such thing as empathy in this world. When Zhou Zheng passed away, the Han family had no idea how much pain she was in. Now it is the Han family's turn to experience that pain, and they can empathize with her.

When Zhou Mo told Liu Xiangru the news.

On the other end of the phone, Liu Xiangru paused for a moment and said, "Is this considered retribution in this life?"

Zhou Mo: "Okay."

Liu Xiangru: "I don't intend to judge too much. I can only say that good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be punished with evil."

Zhou Mo: "I think so too."

Liu Xiangru: "Now that things have come to this, the Han family has become like this. If Han Chen can't understand you and thinks his grandfather's death is related to you, Mom will not stop you from making any decision. On the contrary, I will support you. As you said, there is still a long way to go, and it will depend on us, mother and daughter, to go on together. Don't worry, your father and I have saved some money. If you are worried that you don't have a job and don't have enough money to raise a child, we can sell the house..."

Zhou Mo interrupted, "Mom—don't say that. We haven't reached the point of selling the house yet."

Liu Xiangru: "Mom knows you're anxious. Now that you're pregnant and your studies have been delayed, you can't just give up the child. What if Han Chen and the others, after discussing it, blame you for his grandfather's death, and you two can't continue? You have to make plans for everything. He can't take care of you, but Mom will."

Zhou Mo's eyes suddenly turned red.

Liu Xiangru said, "Don't worry, we still have your uncle. At worst, when I retire, our family can go to Yushan. As long as we want, we can always make a living."

Zhou Mo: "Yeah. Thank you, Mom——"

Liu Xiangru: "What are you thanking me for, silly girl."

Zhou Mo was so touched that he couldn't describe it in words.

Ever since Zhou Zheng left, Zhou Mo has been telling herself to be strong and to live hard, for herself and her mother.

Only now did she realize that in the future, there would be times when she would need to rely on her mother.

God took away her father, but fortunately she still has a mother whom she loves deeply.

During the days that Han Chen left Dongjiang, Zhou Mo lived his life as usual every day.

Because of her pregnancy, she was trying her best to catch up on the work that was delayed a few days ago.

At this point, it’s useless to think about it. The only way to be worthy of myself is to work hard.

Shen Qingyi also noticed Zhou Mo's seriousness and hard work.

In the past, the lights in the student offices would be turned off when it was time to get off work.

These days, every time Shen Qingyi passed by after get off work, he saw the lights on.

She glanced into the office and found that Zhou Mo was the only one there.

She thought that it was probably because she had talked to Zhou Mo some time ago and said that pregnancy would affect her studies, and Zhou Mo was holding a grudge.

She is a girl who works hard and never gives up.

She didn't disturb him and chose to leave quietly.

Zhou Mo worked overtime for several days and finally caught up with the progress required by Shen Qingyi, and also handled the matters related to Shen Qingyi's project.

Of course, this is also thanks to Shen Qingyi's tolerance, allowing her to speed up the progress in this way, and Shen Qingyi also handed over all the miscellaneous tasks such as accounting in the group to others.

Zhou Mo had two things on his hands: one was his graduation, and the other was a project that Shen Qingyi was anxious to complete.

Although Shen Qingyi is strict and doesn't like others to hold her back, she is a kind person.

Zhou Mo was already very grateful for this.

Getting pregnant was her own choice, and she should bear the consequences.

It’s not that just because she’s pregnant, everyone feels like they owe her something and must be considerate, caring, and take care of her.

Other people's kindness comes from their good intentions and should not be taken for granted.
