"Dad," Han Chen suddenly said, "You and Grandpa should calm down first. Some things can be discussed later. Let's first make things clear today."
Han Zhen blinked a few times and calmed down. "Momo, I asked you to come here today because I wanted to be a mediator and reconcile with you."
Zhou Mo looked at him in surprise and wariness.
Han Zhen immediately explained, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about your father. I'm saying... you won't be targeted again. Your uncle's farm can continue to operate as usual, and no one will ever report you to the police again, or threaten you with your degree."
Zhou Mo was confused: "I still don't understand."
Han Zhen: "I will take Han Chen's grandfather back to the imperial capital. From now on, you and Han Chen just need to live your life well in Dongjiang. Of course, regarding your father's matter..."
He glanced at Han Hongde and said, "I will do my best to help ensure that this matter is handled impartially."
Han Hongde snorted lightly, "It's not your turn to interfere in the affairs of the Han family. You are my son, you have to protect your son. I can let this girl go for the sake of our father-son relationship, but Han Ze's affairs can only be handled by me, no one else can interfere!"
Han Zhen: "Dad, you are so old, can't you stop worrying about these things?"
Han Hongde: "If I don't worry about it, who will? Or do you want your third brother to come?"
Han Zhen: "That's his son, shouldn't he be the one to handle it?"
Han Hongde: "He holds such a high position, and you let him deal with these things in public?"
Han Zhen: "At this point, what you care about most is still your face?"
Han Hongde: "Yes! I just care about the reputation of the Han family. Not only do I care about the reputation of the Han family, I also care about the future of the Han family. I was merciful not to crush this girl to death. If she dares to expose Han Ze's affairs, I will never forgive her!"
Han Zhen was so angry that he wanted to argue with Han Hongde, but he found that he could not overcome Han Hongde's unreasonable behavior.
"Dad, you..." He really didn't know what to say.
Han Hongde shook his hand and pushed Han Zhen away.
"I've said it before, your so-called 'three-party talks' will produce no results at all," Han Hongde walked around Han Zhen, stood up and walked out.
Han Zhen hurriedly caught up, and Han Hongde walked quickly, and the two walked out one behind and the other in front.
Han Chen also hurriedly followed.
Zhou Mo was the only one left in the room.
The living room, which was very noisy just now, has now become very quiet.
Zhou Mo sat down with his hands on his knees, and couldn't help but look around.
This is her home, where she used to live. Everything seems so familiar yet strange.
After waiting for a while, Han Chen and Han Zhen came back.
Han Hongde disappeared.
I guess we couldn't stop him, and he left.
When Zhou Mo saw Han Zhen come in, he immediately stood up.
Han Zhen pressed his hand and said, "Please sit down."
Zhou Mo nodded slightly and sat down carefully.
Han Zhen sat down a little closer to Zhou Mo. He asked kindly, "It's time to get off work. Haven't you eaten yet?"
Zhou Mo was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Yeah."
Han Zhen turned to look at Han Chen: "What are you standing there for? Go find a way to make a meal."
Han Chen paused slightly, feeling a little annoyed that he had actually forgotten about this.
He quickly took out his phone and said, "Can you order food? I forgot to buy groceries today."
Han Zhen: "Ask Momo, why are you asking me what to do?"
Han Chen held up his phone and asked Zhou Mo, "What do you want to eat?"
Zhou Mo thought about it and said, "It's all right."
Then she felt something was wrong, "But... Uncle came all the way here, it's not good to eat takeout, right?"
Han Chen was annoyed again. Yes, how could he forget this again...
Han Zhen waved his hand and said, "I'm fine with anything. No need to make a big fuss. Just order whatever you want."
Han Chen was in a dilemma. He was not very good at ordering food. After thinking for a moment, he handed the phone to Zhou Mo and said, "You come."
Zhou Mo looked at the phone he handed over, speechless and helpless, so he had to take it and look through it carefully.
While looking at the shops on her phone, she asked Han Zhen about his preferences. Han Zhen said that he had never tried the special dishes from Dongjiang, so he asked Zhou Mo to order the food there.
Zhou Mo found a highly rated fusion restaurant in Dongjiang and ordered four dishes, one soup, and three rice dishes.
Han Zhen reminded, "Han Chen has a big appetite, one portion of rice is not enough for him."
Han Chen said, "Momo has a small appetite and can't finish one portion."
The implication was that he would eat the portion that Zhou Mo couldn't finish.
Han Zhen looked at them with a smile: "It's still good to be young."
Zhou Mo and Han Chen blushed slightly.
After ordering the food, the three of them had nothing to do.
Han Zhen looked at Zhou Mo and suddenly became worried.
"Momo," he began slowly, "I'm sorry about your father. I know this isn't a good time to bring this up, and I know my apology can't change anything, but... I'm Han Chen's father, and I'll be your father in the future, so... I want to say, you're not without a father in the future. I promise I'll treat you like my own. Let me be your father from now on, protecting and helping you in your father's place, okay?"
Zhou Mo stared at him in amazement, his eyes moistening for a moment.
"Momo, don't cry," Han Zhen said a little panickedly, "Maybe I spoke too early, or too anxiously? It's okay, you..."
"No," Zhou Mo shook her head. She endured the sobs in her throat and the soreness in her nose and said, "I never thought you would say this to me. I'm very touched."
She has no father anymore.
Zhou Zheng was so good to her and so important to her that Zhou Mo still can't get over the fact that Zhou Zheng left her.
Because she had never thought about what life would be like without a father.
At this moment, all kinds of emotions surged in Zhou Mo's heart, including touching and excitement.
"Thank you, uncle." Zhou Mo never thought that she would hear an "apology" to her father from someone other than Han Chen, nor did she think that she would meet someone from the Han family who would stand in her shoes and consider her.
Han Zhen is undoubtedly gentle and considerate.
How could Zhou Mo not be moved to tears?
Han Chen felt distressed when he saw Zhou Mo. He sat beside Zhou Mo, held her in his arms, stroked her arm, and comforted her, "People are different. We will always be with you. I know that no matter what I do, it is impossible to make up for the pain of losing your father, but we really want to make it up to you and treat you well. My father and I feel really guilty... because of my fourth brother. We may not be able to do much, but we will really try our best."
Zhou Mo burst into tears in an instant.
The resentment and grievances that had been accumulating for a long time burst out, and Zhou Mo could no longer bear it.
Han Chen let her lean on his arms and kept patting Zhou Mo's back gently.
Han Zhen also promised, "Momo, Han Chen and I will do what we promised you. We won't let Han Chen's grandfather target you again. Of course, I will also talk to Han Chen's third uncle and make sure they don't cause you any trouble."
Zhou Mo cried until she lost her voice. At this moment, she felt as if Zhou Zheng had really returned.
It feels so good to have a dad.
