"Thank you," Zhou Mo was extremely grateful.
"I'll wait for you outside." Yan Yi handed over his things, turned around and walked out of the bathroom.
When Zhou Mo came out of the bathroom, he saw Yan Yi standing at the door.
"Are you feeling better?" she asked.
"Um."
Zhou Mo washed his hands, but his mood became more complicated.
In her mind, on one side was Han Chen's previous evaluation of Yan Yi, and on the other side was Yan Yi's current gentleness.
I have to say, humans are really complex creatures.
It is impossible to get a full understanding of a person by just one or two comments from others or simply getting to know him/her.
"By the way, sister Yi, were you also there to look at cars last time?" Zhou Mo asked, trying to find a common topic between the two of them.
"No, I went to see it with my younger brother," Yan Yi said. "He's going to graduate school soon, and his family said they'd give him a car."
“…”
They are indeed a wealthy family. They can reward a car for getting a master's degree.
She was already a doctor, but only with the support of other family members was she lucky enough to buy a car.
"That boy looks familiar, what's his name?" Zhou Mo asked.
"Qi Yan. Do you know him?"
Qi Yan? !
"I know him," Zhou Mo said, "He's my advisor's new graduate student."
No wonder he looked familiar but couldn't remember where he was.
When Zhou Mo was helping Shen Qingyi organize the materials, he had seen Qi Yan's ID photo.
"You are also Director Shen's student?" Yan Yi was surprised.
“Well, I’m studying for her PhD.”
"Then I'd like to ask you to take good care of him," Yan Yi said. "Qi Yan graduated from Imperial Capital University, and Han Chen is considered an alumnus. In Director Shen's team, please take good care of him."
"Yes," Zhou Mo answered with a smile, but doubts arose in his heart.
It seems that Qi Yan and Yan Yi should be fine.
But...what was Han Chi hinting at when he sent those messages to Han Chen?
It's not my fault for thinking too much. If Han Chi was really worried that his girlfriend wouldn't have a good time here, he could just spend money to join a tour group and get some travel guide. If all else fails, he could just ask Han Ze or Han Yu for help.
Han Ji chose Han Chen, who was the worst at taking care of others and the worst at handling things...
It was certain that Han Chi had something behind his words, but what it was still needed further investigation.
The banquet hadn't ended yet. Han Ze glanced at his phone and hurried to leave. Before he left, he turned around and said, "Han Chen, we're brothers after all, why didn't you come and see me off?"
Han Chen had no choice but to stand up and say, "Okay, I'll take you there."
The two went downstairs together.
After leaving the house, Han Chen asked, "Did you drive here?"
"Um."
"Then go ahead. I won't call you a taxi."
“…”
Han Chen saw that Han Ze had no intention of leaving, so he asked, "What's wrong?"
Han Ze scratched his brows and said, "I want to discuss something with you."
Han Chen frowned: "What's the matter?"
"Do you have any money? Lend me some."
Han Chen looked at Han Ze with strange eyes.
"Don't look at me like that," Han Ze said. "I know what you mean. You want to know where my money went."
"Yes." Han Chen said without hesitation.
"My expenses have been quite high in Dongjiang lately," Han Ze said. "Business overseas has been tough, and I've lost a lot. My dad forced me to come back, and I gave up my business there. If I weren't really in trouble, I wouldn't be asking you this."
"I know," Han Chen said, "but I don't have any money either."
"You don't have money? You have money but you don't want it. You didn't keep any of the cards Grandpa took away. If you don't want them, you can give me one."
Han Chen frowned: "Where's the card? Have you returned yet?"
Han Ze: "Of course I returned it. If I hadn't, I wouldn't be looking for you now. Any broken code can help me out in an emergency."
"How do you know my password?"
"Aren't there just those few? Your birthday, Fifth Aunt's birthday, Grandpa's birthday, and... and, are there any others?"
“…”
"Just tell me, will you lend it to me?"
"It's not that I don't want to lend you money, I just really don't have any," Han Chen said. "I'm also in debt to Liang Dongyan. Why don't you ask your second and third brothers?"
"Third brother definitely doesn't have much money," Han Ze said. "Second brother has some, but the money is managed by Second Sister-in-law."
"Where's the fifth brother?"
"Old Five..." Han Ze was embarrassed: "Forget it, he is not close to us brothers."
"Then there's nothing I can do."
Han Ze took the opportunity to punch Han Chen, but Han Chen reacted quickly and dodged in time.
"Are we brothers?" Han Ze glared at him. "I'm starving to death, your brother. Are you really not going to help me at all?"
"It's not that I'm not helping, I really don't have any money."
"No money, you bought Zhou Mo a car worth more than 300,000 yuan?"
"I didn't buy the car. Her parents bought it for her."
"Her family conditions are not bad, not so bad that you need to help her out of poverty."
Han Chen frowned, looking annoyed: "What are you talking about?"
"Just kidding," Han Ze said, "You don't have money, why don't you ask Zhou Mo? Her family can afford a 300,000 yuan car. Lend me 80,000 yuan for an emergency. It shouldn't be a problem."
Han Chen was completely cold and said, "Fourth brother, you are going too far."
Han Ze saw Han Chen's expression change, and he also lost his smile: "I just asked, it's nothing serious, why are you so anxious? Didn't she say that the car was a dowry? You two got married, and half of the car was originally yours. Can't you cash it in early? Besides, I didn't say I wouldn't pay it back when I borrowed the money."
Han Chen's face was stern and resolute, his right hand clenched into a fist. He endured it and said, "Fourth brother, you are greedy for my money, it doesn't matter, we are brothers, but you can't extend your hands to Zhou Mo."
Han Ze was also annoyed: "What do you mean by reaching out to Zhou Mo? If she marries you in the future, won't she be a member of the Han family? We're family, so what's wrong with me borrowing some money?"
"We're not a family!" Han Chen said, "Zhou Mo is Zhou Mo. Whether she's married to me or not, she's not a member of the Han family. Don't bring the Han family's stuff to me. It won't work."
"You!" Han Ze was stunned and speechless. He was furious at Han Chen's toughness. "Han Chen, you really are capable now, right? If you have the guts, take Zhou Mo back to the capital and tell Grandpa everything he said. Let's see if he lets her in. She's not a member of the Han family. If she's not, then she can forget about marrying you."
Han Chen finally couldn't hold back and swung a punch at Han Ze's left cheek with his right hand. Han Ze's head buzzed and he staggered a few steps, completely dazed.
"You hit me?"
Han Ze rubbed his face and looked at Han Chen in disbelief.
This little brother who had been playing mischief with him since childhood was now punching him for a woman.
Han Chen's expression remained serious. He shook his hands and said, "Fourth brother, I don't want to do this either. You forced me to do this."
"Okay, you're my brother, I won't mind this punch." Han Ze pressed the tip of his tongue against his back teeth, causing him to gasp in pain. "I won't lend you this money. Don't come to me for help if you have any problems in the future."
He glared at Han Chen, waved his hand and walked towards the parking lot.
Han Chen watched his back disappear into the night.
