Han Ji chuckled, "From what you said, you want to stand up for Zhou Moqiang? Don't you know that she already has Han Chen? Or -"
Changing the subject, Han Ji's gaze shifted to Zhou Mo's face, "What irrelevant news do you have?"
Zhou Mo shuddered suddenly.
Han Ji obviously had something else to say.
Previously, when Ren Huaibo spread rumors about her and Fu Chenghai, Han Chen said that it was Han Ji who helped suppress it.
It is obvious that Han Ji cares very much about this matter, otherwise he would not be so confrontational.
"Second brother, I'm sorry to bother you with the previous online incident, but that was because someone spread rumors. Fu Chenghai and I have nothing to do with each other."
Han Ji's eyes flashed, "What about Ren Huaibo?"
Zhou Mo was speechless for a moment and had nothing to say.
"Both of them happened eight hundred years ago. You are Han Chen's second brother, right? As Han Chen's older brother, is it interesting for you to bring up this matter again?" Qi Tan suddenly said, "Your brother Han Chen didn't say anything, right?"
"That's because he's been too indulgent with this woman and has completely forgotten what 'reputation' means," Han Ji glared at Zhou Mo, his gaze becoming increasingly stern. "The last time Han Chen got into a fight for you and was taken to the police station, I warned him that since he'd decided to leave the capital, he shouldn't even think about using any of the Han family's connections. Did he do that? If I remember correctly, Han Chen's fight for you was also because of your ex-boyfriend, Yu Yizhou, right?"
Zhou Mo bit his lip, knowing that he was in the wrong.
Qi Tan, who originally wanted to speak up for Zhou Mo, frowned suddenly when he heard that Zhou Mo had another ex-boyfriend, and looked at Zhou Mo with a very strange look.
"Han Chen brought you to dinner with us before, and you seemed quite sensible and well-behaved. How come everything that happened later was all because of Han Chen?" Han Ji saw Zhou Mo lowering his head, as if listening attentively to the lecture. With Qi Tan being an outsider present, he didn't feel comfortable saying anything harsh. He just said, "I came here today to tell you one thing. You can leave Han Chen under any conditions you want. Although I also hoped that you could achieve a happy ending with Han Chen, but - your performance is too disappointing. You don't seem like someone who can accompany Han Chen. You will only drag him down further."
As he spoke, he took out a manila document bag from his briefcase and handed it to Zhou Mo, "Take a look for yourself."
Zhou Mo took it woodenly, with surprise in his eyes and all he could hear was the words "leave Han Chen".
She opened the file bag silently and hurriedly, and inside was a stack of documents and a USB drive.
Zhou Mo pulled out the information, and the first page that caught her eye contained some "old stories" about her from the internet.
The news headlines are very eye-catching, such as "Rogue woman pulls off man's pants in the street", "Why is this woman so tough that she pulls off man's pants in the street", "Naked man and the woman who pulled off his pants"...
Zhou Mo's head was buzzing.
What is coming will eventually come.
These things in the news were from the previous unpleasant incident with Yu Yizhou.
Yu Yizhou's legs were not broken by Zhou Zheng, although Zhou Zheng wanted to break Yu Yizhou's legs.
It is true that Yu Yizhou broke his leg because of a fall, but there was a more direct reason.
Just as reported in the news, Zhou Mo "pulled" his pants.
"Brother, there's a reason for this. Yu Yizhou used my name to start a company. We ended up going to court and won. This news was all..."
"Don't explain," Han Ji interrupted her. "No matter what the reason, a woman who can pull down a man's pants in the street, what do you want others to think? How will others view Han Chen and the Han family? A female hooligan? Or a female bandit?"
"Everything has a reason. Why don't you want to hear the full story? Are you judging me based on this nonsense online?"
"It doesn't matter what I think of you or what kind of person you are. What matters is what others think of you!" Han Ji was angry. "Reputation! Reputation, understand? Why do you think I'm meddling in your relationship with Han Chen and forcing you to leave Han Chen? That's because Grandpa knows all the news about you! Your background and lack of origin are fine, but your personal morality and conduct must be in good shape, understand? You don't have to be a rich and powerful lady, but you should at least be a decent woman. Everything I said to you today is what Grandpa meant. I hope to end all this before things get more extreme. Otherwise, when Grandpa comes to Dongjiang in person, neither you nor Han Chen will have a good ending!"
Zhou Mo suddenly felt that the thing in her hand was so heavy that it made her breathless.
She was clearly not wrong, yet it seemed as if she was completely wrong.
"The video in the USB drive is your 'masterpiece'. Although the relevant news is basically invisible now, you did it yourself, so you should remember it." Han Ji scoffed. "Take care of yourself."
Han Ji took a step forward to leave.
"etc."
Zhou Mo suddenly spoke.
Han Ji turned his head.
"Why am I not a proper woman?" Zhou Mo said as she carefully put the documents back into the file bag. "Or have you, the Han family, who come from a political and legal background, completely forgotten that the meaning behind the law is the pursuit of fairness? You don't try to distinguish right from wrong when you hear news that distorts right and wrong, and only believe the rumors, right? You believe everything others say. Is that how you learned law?"
Han Ji was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting that Zhou Mo would fight back, and use the Han family's background in politics and law to fight back.
"Gossip can be devastating, and the Han family wants a clean, innocent girl. As for you, you're just trouble. You're not important enough for the Han family to judge right from wrong for you," Han Ji sneered. "Don't think you're smart just because you have a doctorate. The laws of society will tell you how foolish your impulsiveness and actions are."
Zhou Mo was angry, but he could not refute anything.
Although Zhou Mo also felt aggrieved, she was clearly the victim in the Yu Yizhou incident, but in the end she was the one who made a fool of herself online.
Rumors can be terrible.
It's really scary.
It takes only one mouth to spread a rumor, but it takes a lot of effort to refute it.
What's more, she was just a commoner and had almost no way to deal with the rumors.
If it weren't for Han Chen, if it weren't for Han Ji, who knows how Ren Huaibo's rumor about her and Fu Chenghai would have turned out.
It’s a vulnerable time...
"Your brother and Zhou Mo have already obtained their marriage certificate. Why do you, the Han family, still want to cover up everything and erase their registration information?"
Qi Tan's words made Han Ji and Zhou Mo stunned.
Han Ji looked incredulous. "What did you say?"
Qi Tan pretended to be relaxed, "Don't you Han family know about their marriage?"
Han Ji's eyes were grim as he suddenly shot towards Zhou Mo, obviously also seeking an answer.
Zhou Mo was worried. Han Chen had repeatedly told him to take a long-term view on the matter of marriage. However, before he could figure out how to explain this to the Han family, Qi Tan made it clear with just one sentence.
