Han Chen was a little dazed for a moment.
His second brother didn't seem that ruthless either.
Han Ji raised his eyes and caught the trance in Han Chen's eyes. He suddenly chuckled, "Do you think I'm not that unkind?"
Han Chen said nothing, as if he agreed.
"Aunt is my biological aunt after all. Even if I can't give Feng Yang a good end, I still have to take care of her," Han Ji said. "This is all I can do. If she has any difficulties in life in the future, she can come to me or go home to my father and grandfather. Feng Yang's matter can only end here."
"Based on my aunt's temper, I'm afraid she already hates you."
"Hate it, it doesn't matter."
Han Chen didn't know what else to say.
There is an irreconcilable conflict between Han Jihe's uncles and Han Yu.
The hotel doorbell suddenly rang.
Han Ji put down his glass and stood up. "The meal I ordered should have arrived. Are you hungry? How about asking someone downstairs to send another one up? They have wontons for midnight snacks, aren't they your favorite?"
"No, I've already eaten," Han Chen added, "Zhou Mo made dinner."
Han Ji was stunned for a moment, then a smile spread across his lips, "Are you showing off to me?"
Han Chen didn't say anything.
Han Ji opened the door, and the waiter came in with a dining cart, placed the plates on the table one by one, said "Enjoy your meal", and then left quietly.
Han Ji pulled out a chair in front of the dining table and sat down. He ordered steak and salad. Just as he was about to start eating, he seemed to have forgotten something and said, "Bring me the wine glass."
Han Chen took the high-heeled glass from the coffee table and placed it next to him, then pulled out a chair opposite Han Ji and sat down.
Han Ji didn't move his knife and fork. "Really not eating?"
Han Chen: "No, eat quickly."
Han Ji: "Okay, then I'll eat first. Don't say that your brother didn't let you."
Han Chen was speechless.
If you ask who protected him the most when he was a child, it must be Han Ji.
Among his brothers, he was the only one who dared to speak up for him when his parents scolded him.
Han Chen was not a perfect child who never made mistakes. On the contrary, he was quite naughty when he was young.
In the past, he and Han Ze had done many weird things.
They even dared to dig out and crack the walnuts that Han Hongde used to cook.
They were young at the time and didn't know that walnuts were meant to be cooked. They just wanted to crack the walnut kernels and eat them.
Han Hongde discovered that his treasured hemp walnuts were gone. Han Chen and Han Ze then knew what hemp walnuts were, and they quickly climbed over the wall and ran away.
Later, he was found by his family. Han Hongde was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and threatened to hit the two of them with his crutch.
All the uncles in the family were there, and they were the youngest in the family, so everyone pleaded for them.
The two were spared from physical pain.
Han Hongde has a bad temper, but he has never been violent. He just likes to speak in a sarcastic tone and blame people. He is the eldest patriarch of the family, so the younger generations dare not contradict him and have to endure any harsh words he says.
Han Chen had rarely been beaten when he was a child, so when he started to act naughty with Han Ze, he knew that he would not be punished too severely, so he became more naughty.
This was the first time that Han Chen understood the difficulties Liang Xinyun faced as a mother.
When Han Chen was punished to kneel, Liang Xinyun also spoke up for him. Han Chen even remembered the tears in Liang Xinyun's eyes at that time.
Han Hongde did not continue to punish Han Chen, but instead blamed Liang Xinyun, saying that he could not manage his son well.
Liang Xinyun endured it silently without saying anything back.
For the first time, Han Chen felt extremely uncomfortable.
It was clearly he who made the mistake, but it was his mother who was scolded and blamed.
Han Hongde also said, "It's not like you don't have role models at home. Why don't you learn from Lin Feng? Did the Han family not give you money or what? They didn't even enroll Han Chen in any cram school. Is this how we, the Han family, raised our son? Learn from your second sister-in-law and see how Lin Feng raised him!"
Second Aunt came out to smooth things over, saying, "Lin Feng, that's not a serious matter. There's no time to delay learning. Han Chen is still young and it's the time for him to play. Let him play for a while. When he grows up, he will learn by himself. Just focus on studying, nothing else matters."
Han Hongde: "Is Lin Feng doing poorly in his studies?"
What this means is that Han Chi has not fallen behind in his studies, and his other talents have also blossomed.
Han Chi, standing by, gloated over the misfortune and boasted, "It's all child's play. What we learn in school is too simple. It doesn't take any time at all. I just want to learn more about what I don't know."
Han Hongde said: "Look, look, they are all grandsons of the Han family, how come Lin Feng is so smart and sensible?"
These words made Liang Xinyun even more embarrassed.
The other brothers didn't say anything. They were more accustomed to hiding behind their parents. At this moment, as children and the youngest, they had no position and no chance to say a word, let alone speak for Han Chen and Han Ze. It would be a blessing if this fire didn't fall on them.
Only Han Ji.
He smiled gently and comforted Han Hongde, "Grandpa, I'm not as good as Linfeng. Linfeng and I are twins, born to the same parents. You can't say that my parents only raised Linfeng and treated me unfairly, right?"
Han Hongde didn't expect Han Ji to speak, and what he said made a lot of sense, so Han Hongde was choked for a moment.
He originally wanted to get furious, but Han Ji greeted him with a gentle smile, just like the feeling he always gave people, like a spring breeze, more soothing and comfortable than the warm sun in March.
"Grandpa, these two little brats have been naughty for more than a day or two. Besides, they must know they're wrong," Han Ji stepped forward to help his two younger brothers up, patting them on the back, not too hard or too lightly. He said, "Quick, apologize to Grandpa. You can't ask Grandpa for any New Year's money this year."
Han Chen and Han Ze are so young, they don't have any tough bones. Han Ji is the most gentle among his brothers, so naturally he does what his second brother says.
The two men respectfully admitted their mistakes to Han Hongde.
Han Hongde was too embarrassed to forgive him directly, and told Liang Xinyu and his third aunt that he would take his son home to educate him.
Han Ze was scolded by his third aunt in front of Han Hongde and taken back. Han Chen thought Liang Xinyun would scold him too, but Liang Xinyun dragged Han Chen upstairs without saying a word, locked him in the room, not allowed him to eat, and asked him to write a self-criticism.
Han Hongde originally wanted to give Han Chen a way out, but he didn't expect Liang Xinyun to have such a stubborn temper. She didn't pretend like Han Ze's mother, but instead really "educated" Han Chen.
Han Hongde was so angry that he walked upstairs and said he didn't care.
After Han Chen was locked in the house, Liang Xinyun was so cruel that she stopped anyone who brought him food.
Until midnight.
Then someone secretly took the key, opened his door, and brought him food.
The person who brought him food was Han Ji.
Han Chen was extremely hungry and gobbled up the food ravenously.
Han Ji looked at him with a doting smile. He walked to the table and looked at the letter paper, only to find it was blank.
"Don't know how to write a self-criticism? Do you want me to help you?"
