Han Chen: "Thank you for your thoughts. I'll think about it carefully."
Han Ji: "How are things with Zhou Mo now?"
Han Chen didn't expect Han Chen to ask this.
Han Ji chuckled, "Has the relationship cooled down?"
Han Chen: "Yeah."
Han Ji: "Please be more understanding. The fault lies with Han Ze. She lost her father."
Han Chen: "Thank you, second brother, thank you for understanding."
Han Ji: "But it's useless for me to understand it alone. Grandpa and Third Uncle also need to understand it. They haven't apologized to Zhou Mo's family yet, right?"
Han Chen: "Yes."
Han Ji: "As the younger generation, it's not easy for us to give any advice. The best we can do is stand by and watch without intervening. I'm in a lot of trouble right now. To be frank, even if I sympathize with Zhou Mo, I can't help but stand on the side of the Han family. The Han family and I are bound together. We prosper together and suffer together."
Han Chen: "Second brother, I understand. I am very grateful that you can tell me this."
Han Ji: "Come on, you're the one with the most difficulty. Caught between Zhou Mo and the Han family, if you don't handle the relationship well, you might lose both sides."
Han Chen: "I'm ready to lose everything."
Han Ji smiled and said, "Han Chen, you are luckier than all of us. When I say we, I mean the six of us brothers. You have more choices and more freedom than us. Cherish it."
Han Chen: "I understand."
Of course he knew what Han Ji meant.
As the youngest child in the family, he was never asked to take on the responsibility of the family business. His mother was strong enough to educate him in her own way, trying her best to prevent him from being influenced by the Han family's ideas.
He was able to rebel and escape from the Han family, and finally choose to live the life he wanted.
This is all his luck.
This is what Han Ji said.
Of course, it also includes that he found the girl he liked and married her.
If you count carefully, it seems that he is really the "happiest" one among the six of them.
I think Han Ji envied him.
After all, when he was locked up in the "small dark room" on the eleventh day, Han Ji came to him for advice.
"Brother, if what happened today happened to you, what would you do?" Han Chen asked tentatively.
Han Ji paused. "To be honest, I've actually considered this. It's even more complicated than what you're facing right now. I was thinking, what if one day I have some information on Ai Zhiyin's father?"
Han Chen: "What's the answer?"
Han Ji: "The facts prove that I overthought. If her father wanted to engage in some kind of power-for-money transaction, he wouldn't have thought of letting Ai Zhiyin marry into the Han family. Their family is content with a small fortune, and Ai Zhiyin's brothers don't have any handles that can be used against them. They are almost impeccable. I used to think that if I were a little more forceful, I could threaten her with her family and prevent her from leaving me. Later, I found that she was much smarter than I thought. There is really no fault to be found in her family."
Han Chen: "It seems that my second sister-in-law has also made preparations."
Han Ji: "It's good that you've been prepared. Otherwise, if they follow me into the Han family's troubled waters, I'm not sure I can protect them and their son. Sometimes letting go is also a kind of fulfillment. I couldn't figure it out before, but now I understand."
Han Chen: "Second brother, you should also try your best and cheer up. Everything will pass."
Han Ji: "Yes, everything will pass, but I can't seem to get over the hurdle in front of me."
Han Chen: "What's wrong?"
Han Ji: "Your third brother is coming back."
Han Chen was speechless.
He couldn't judge anything, let alone act as a peacemaker to ease the "dispute" between his second brother Han Ji and his third brother Han Chi.
This is their fate, from birth.
There is only one future head of the Han family, and they are the most promising twins.
As a younger brother, he could only "sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight."
…
Zhou Mo was summoned for a talk.
On the first day back in Cory.
She was called to the college by a phone call from there.
The reason was that she was a "bad influence".
Somehow, the college also found out that she had been taken to the police station for questioning.
Zhou Mo has repeatedly stated that the person burning the paper was not her.
But the college seemed to concede that it was she who did it.
There were two teachers sent for the talk, one was a new college administrative teacher, and the other was sent from the school. Their titles were too long for Zhou Mo to remember.
But Zhou Mo had a hunch that this was also done deliberately by the Han family.
The words were exactly the same as what Zhou Mo had imagined.
Things like, "You're damaging the school's reputation," "It's a bad influence on the school," "You, a PhD student, shouldn't do such a thing," "You've been taken in for investigation by the police, so you should know you're wrong," and, even more crucially, "Your actions will affect your ability to graduate with a PhD."
Zhou Mo wasn't anxious or annoyed. She asked, "Let's not talk about the fact that I didn't do it. Even if I did, my father is gone, so can't I burn some paper money? Why, just because I'm a PhD, I can't burn paper money for my father? Who made that rule? If a PhD burning paper money can bring shame to the school, then aren't so many teachers who violate professional ethics bringing shame to the school?"
The teacher's face suddenly turned pale.
Zhou Mo had already made up her mind. If she was not allowed to graduate, then she would not graduate. The worst that could happen was that she would just give up studying.
If the school can deprive her of the qualification to graduate because of this matter, then it is better not to go to such a school.
"Student Zhou Mo, please calm down for a moment," Teacher A said. "We're just talking to you now, pulling the police rope on you, and telling you the consequences of future misconduct. Please don't overreact."
Zhou Mo: "Did I overreact, or did you guys? Did I publicize this online or say something was wrong with the school? You said you wanted to talk to me, and I told you the truth, but you just assumed it was me. What's going on? Did some leader put pressure on me, or did I accept bribes from someone?"
The two teachers' faces suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
"Student Zhou Mo! Don't slander the teacher casually."
"Aren't you also slandering me casually?"
He took chicken feathers as a token of authority, and came to accuse her and scare her, without knowing from whom he got the order.
Do you really think she is still that student in the ivory tower who knows nothing? She is so scared that she dares not say a word when the teacher's attitude is a little harsh.
Zhou Mo's current courage is thanks to the Han family. They let her know that this is the world, and it's just like this.
No one is always invincible, and no one can truly be lawless.
She didn't commit any crime and didn't violate any school rules or regulations. How could they just wipe out her doctorate?
She was very glad that she had checked in advance what kind of circumstances would require her to get a degree from the school.
It’s a pity that she didn’t break any of those rules.
Those who came to talk to her were just taking advantage of the power of others.
On the contrary, if she really did nothing wrong and just lost her degree, she would have sufficient evidence to sue the school.
