When he came, he was thinking that at his age, if he swallowed his pride and apologized to Zhou Mo, she would not refuse.
However, the facts were beyond his expectations.
Zhou Mo really didn't accept it.
Han Hongde changed his strategy again: "I didn't stop you from marrying Han Chen."
Zhou Mo: "That's because your obstruction is useless. If you are not sure, you are denying it. The reason you didn't force your obstruction is because Han Chen is your most beloved grandson. He doesn't need to sacrifice his marriage for the Han family. He just found a wife who doesn't meet your Han family's requirements. I just have an average family background. Although I can't help your Han family, I won't pose any threat to your Han family. You turned a blind eye and let it go. But when it came to my inability to get pregnant, the direction of things changed. You used this matter to attack me again and again. Even when Han Chen told you that illness was beyond my control and he expressed understanding, you still felt that this was a point from which you could launch a fatal attack on me."
Han Hongde's face turned even redder.
I didn't know which direction to look.
That was the panic and embarrassment after having one's thoughts exposed.
Han Hongde defended himself, "Things have changed now. You have a child. I won't object to you and Han Chen being together anymore. Live a good life from now on. I promise that no one in Dongjiang will dare to target you. If anyone dares to bully you and Han Chen, just come to me..."
"What do I want you to do?" Zhou Mo interrupted him. "Are you here to continue to make my life miserable? Or to continue to find fault with me? Mr. Han, your expression has changed so quickly that I'm a little confused for a moment. Are you still the Mr. Han who wore a noble head and offered a stick of incense as alms at my father's funeral?"
Han Hongde was speechless for a moment.
After a moment, he said, "At that time... I didn't mean to offend you. I didn't think too much about it at the time. I'm just... I'm sorry. There's no point in saying more now. I'm sorry for what I did at your father's funeral. And... Han Chen didn't tell me the time of your father's funeral. I found out on my own. Han Chen didn't go to see his fourth brother that day either."
Zhou Mo: "You don't have to explain to me, I know everything. I didn't tell Han Chen the time of my father's funeral, so he couldn't have known. As for whether he went to the hospital to see his fourth brother, I didn't have the time to care. Or rather... even if I stopped him from going, he might not listen to me. Why should I be such a bad person? That's his fourth brother, he can go if he wants to, I won't stop him."
Han Hongde: "And Han Zhen, it was Han Chen's father who organized the 'three-party talks' that day. I... I'm also very sorry. My attitude was not very good that day."
Zhou Mo snorted contemptuously, his heart full of disdain.
Now that you know how to be attentive, what were you doing before?
Zhou Mo didn't buy it. She asked directly, "How do you want to solve my father's problem?"
Han Hongde: "Take formal legal channels."
Zhou Mo: "Enough. This is the result I want."
Han Hongde hesitated to speak. After thinking for a while, he felt embarrassed: "Can I give you the result you want, and you also cooperate with us... and help us issue a certificate of understanding?"
Han Hongde's tone was extremely unconfident.
On weekdays, he always shows off his power. Whenever he meets people, he expects them to bow down to him, submit to him, and play a humble role in front of him.
Now, when it comes to Zhou Mo, the roles are completely reversed.
He had already lowered his attitude very low, to the point where even he felt he had crossed the bottom line, but Zhou Mo still showed no sign of being moved.
Han Hongde panicked.
If Zhou Mo does not cooperate in issuing a letter of apology, Han Zhi may face more than just criticism or a warning.
In order to put an end to this matter and settle the matter peacefully, the Zhou Mo family must issue a letter of apology, allow Han Zhi to make a deep self-examination, and let the case return to normal procedures.
Otherwise... the higher-ups will launch a more in-depth investigation... and the Han family will then...
Han Hongde didn't dare to think further.
The key to all problems was in Zhou Mo's hands.
She withstood his previous verbal abuse and his various means of pressure later on, and finally, she made it to where she is now.
Without a doubt, she won.
Zhou Mo was much smarter and more resilient than he had imagined.
Zhou Mo sneered and asked, "Are you willing to bow your noble head now? Before, you relied on your so-called 'family background' to do whatever you wanted, and you probably never imagined this would happen. I hope you won't bow down to me, and it's best to continue to maintain your high attitude. After all, I really want to see that when those with higher power show off their power over you, you will choose to accept your fate as you advised me to do before, and don't complain at all."
Han Hongde was furious for a moment, "You!"
Zhou Mo stopped sneering and returned to his calm demeanor. "Soon after my father's accident, I thought about how to take the formal judicial route for this matter. I thought you would send Han Chen as a lobbyist, let him act as a middleman, and ask me for a letter of apology so that Han Ze could get a reduced sentence when he was tried. But... I was shallow after all, and underestimated your determination and cruelty. You didn't even think about sending him to court, let alone a letter of apology. You took him back to the imperial capital under the pretext of medical treatment, and then... if I'm not mistaken, you would find a way to send him abroad, and then let the case be suppressed again and again, and finally nothing would be done. Who am I? A commoner, and who are your Han family? You are a wealthy family in the imperial capital. Dealing with me is easier than crushing an ant, and you don't even bother to fight me. Am I right?"
Han Hongde's back stiffened, and he was completely speechless in the face of Zhou Mo's questioning.
It was a feeling of being cramped as if all schemes and thoughts were exposed, like the shame and ugliness of having all the fig leaves pulled back.
Han Hongde: "Han Ze hasn't left the country yet. If you want, I can send him back to Dongjiang."
Zhou Mo sneered, "Why are you throwing away your precious grandson, whom you were willing to protect at all costs, like a worn-out shoe now? You're just saying you're going to send him back? What if he dies on the way?"
Han Hongde was even more ashamed.
Zhou Mo's words at this moment were like a sharp knife, cutting off his disguise and flesh one by one.
Even though he was already covered in blood.
But even so, Han Hongde had no choice but to endure it. This matter concerned the future of the Han family, and it was no longer a matter of protecting Han Ze alone.
If abandoning Han Ze can save the entire Han family, it would be a good deal.
Han Hongde frowned and said seriously, "If you want, we can agree to let Han Ze give up treatment."
