Zhou Mo: It’s really terrible that something like this happened.
Han Chen: Third uncle's family isn't home either. Second uncle's family isn't complete either. Third brother came back just before New Year's Eve and only stayed for a day, so there aren't many people home right now.
Zhou Mo: Hao Jie's situation... it's so frustrating. Everyone must be feeling bad, but they can't show it. That's why the atmosphere is so weird.
After all, everyone knew that Han Haojie's illness was incurable and all he could do was wait for death... and everyone had to accept death.
The one who probably couldn't bear it the most was Han Hongde. Han Haojie was his great-great-grandson, and his importance was incomparable to ordinary people.
And now, at the end of the year, my great-grandson can only rely on a ventilator to keep himself alive...
It hurts to think about it.
This was extremely painful for the other members of the Han family.
Not only can we not have a peaceful and happy New Year, but we dare not say a single word, for fear of saying or doing something wrong and causing unnecessary disputes and misunderstandings.
They were also at a loss as to what to do with Han Haojie and didn't know what emotions to express.
Being too festive because of the New Year will inevitably make people feel that they don't know how to feel sorry for Han Haojie. If they show too much sadness, it will not be appropriate since Han Haojie is still alive.
During the Chinese New Year, the family just wasted time like this, neither happy nor sad.
Han Chen: Let’s not talk about that for now, it’s time to eat.
Zhou Mo: Yeah, it’s time for us to eat too. Let’s eat first and then talk after that.
Han Chen: Okay.
Put away your phone.
Han Ji passed by him and rubbed his shoulders.
Han Chen turned around and asked, "Second brother, why are you wearing glasses all of a sudden?"
Han Ji then realized that he had forgotten to take off his glasses when he went downstairs. He took them off in frustration, rubbed the bridge of his nose, and said, "I was busy dealing with Jinghang's affairs and just read a few urgent documents. My eyes have been a little uncomfortable recently."
Han Chen: "Didn't you go to the hospital to measure your intraocular pressure?"
Han Ji: "No, when I got the glasses, they told me I was a little farsighted, but otherwise there's nothing wrong with me."
When he turned around, Ai Zhiyin appeared. Han Ji reached out and handed the glasses to Ai Zhiyin.
The two worked together in perfect harmony. Ai Zhiyin took Han Ji's glasses and went upstairs to help him put them away.
Han Chen inexplicably felt that the relationship between Han Ji and Ai Zhiyin had become a little different, but he couldn't put his finger on what was different.
There was no one in the living room, so Han Chen leaned closer to Han Ji.
Han Ji looked at him warily: "What's wrong?"
Han Chen: "I want to ask you something."
Han Ji: "About Jinghang?"
Han Chen: "Well, there are other things."
Han Ji: "Ask. I know you're eager to know what exactly is wrong with Jinghang."
Han Chen: "Let's talk about Jinghang first."
Han Ji: "Lu Zhinan can't get away with falsifying the accounts. The auditors have already investigated everything. Lu Zhinan and his father also know that the materials are in my hands. They have a keen sense of smell and have asked my father-in-law's people to try to get through to me."
Han Chen frowned, thought for a moment, and asked, "Does my second sister-in-law know about this?"
Han Ji looked at him doubtfully: "This is a work matter, what does it have to do with your second sister-in-law?"
Han Chen: "Love me, love my dog. You said that Lu Zhinan and the others wanted to establish a relationship with you through my second sister-in-law's father. If you consider my second sister-in-law's feelings and help Lu Zhinan, I will be the one who suffers."
What Han Chen meant was that he was asking Han Ji who he would choose between his second sister-in-law and him.
Han Ji is no pushover either. He won't be fooled by such a sharp question.
"You can't look at it that way." Han Ji glanced back upstairs, but didn't see Ai Zhiyin. He leaned over to Han Chen and whispered, "The key to this isn't who I help, but... it's about how the process is handled. Even if I can suppress the materials for a while, I can't keep them secret forever. Besides, your second sister-in-law is well-educated and well-mannered. No matter what I do, she'll understand."
Han Chen looked at Han Ji with distrust. He said, "Second brother, that's what I said, but...if it were in the past, your answer would definitely not be this."
Han Ji asked calmly, "Oh? What answer will I give you?"
Han Chen: "You will say, we are brothers, how could you let me take risks alone? You will definitely do your best to help me."
Han Ji's smile froze.
Han Chen: "Second brother, you've changed. You've become hesitant. Why? Is it because Lu Zhinan used his connections to get you to my second sister-in-law's house?"
Han Ji: “Are you kidding?”
Han Chen: "I'm not kidding, I just want to know what you think in your heart, do you really care about your second sister-in-law, or..."
Han Ji suddenly sat up straight, "Or what?"
Han Chen retracted his gaze and said, "Nothing. Second brother, you really care about your second sister-in-law, right?"
Han Ji: "Of course, she is my wife."
Han Chen: "I don't want to hear such perfunctory excuses. I want to know what you really think deep down in your heart."
Han Ji looked at Han Chen in confusion, "What's wrong with you? You're acting weird today."
Han Chen frowned. "It's not me who's weird, it's you. Second brother... I don't want to ask too much about your affairs, nor do I want to talk too much about them, but... I hope you can remember what you said. Second sister-in-law is your wife."
Han Ji thought it was ridiculous, "When did I stop caring about her?"
If he hadn't considered Ai Zhiyin's feelings, he would have submitted Jinghang's materials long ago.
The reason why these materials are still being suppressed by him is that he is actually mediating.
Because he didn't know what kind of relationship Lu Zhinan's father and Ai Zhiyin's father had. Were they friends from aristocratic families, classmates, colleagues, or was it simply a power-for-money transaction...
Different relationships have different approaches.
The final outcome of these materials will undoubtedly be submission, but we cannot ignore the situation on Ai Zhiyin's father's side.
If after handing it over, Lu Zhinan's father retaliates and accuses Ai Zhiyin's father of taking bribes or something like that, as a son-in-law, he can't just ignore his wife's feelings and send his father-in-law to jail.
Therefore, before submitting the materials, it is necessary to clarify the pros and cons, handle them prudently, and then submit the materials. This way, it is possible to protect Ai Zhiyin's family and prevent Han Chen's interests from being harmed.
And Han Chen repeatedly asked him if he really cared about Ai Zhiyin...
Han Ji always felt that there was something else behind Han Chen's words, and that this was not the question Han Chen wanted to ask at all.
Could it be...
"What else did you hear about me while you were in Dongjiang?" Han Ji took the initiative to find out what Han Chen was thinking.
"Nothing," Han Chen said, "I didn't hear your news, I guessed your 'news'."
"What did you guess?" Han Ji thought it was impossible. He was being very secretive. He asked coldly, "What did your fourth brother say?"
"Fourth brother didn't say anything, he just said he didn't know that person." Han Chen appeared calm on the surface, but was shocked in his heart. It seemed that his second brother and his fourth brother really had some secret that he didn't know. Could it be that his second brother and Tai Ning really had something going on?
"Didn't say anything? Haha, what's the difference between that and saying it?" Han Ji clenched his fist and slammed it hard on the armrest of the sofa, his expression extremely serious.
