"Attorney Chen, do you have some free time? If so, why don't you come to my office later? I have a case I'd like to discuss with you, it's about defamation and slander. My wife has been the subject of some kind of malicious rumors, which I think constitutes malicious damage to someone's reputation. I'd like to pursue this through the criminal process, and if possible, I can afford the amount of money required."
Su Hanzhe didn't even say a word to the male classmate's excuses; he simply took out his phone and contacted someone.
He spoke softly, but the others could hear him clearly.
Many people dared not speak, keeping their heads down for fear of being discovered by Su Hanze, since they had also been egging him on earlier.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, okay? Please, Mr. Su, have mercy on me. I'm not even married yet. I'm preparing for the wedding, and I still have to save up for other girls' dowries. I really didn't offend anyone. I just made a few jokes, and I have to be treated like this. This is so unfair."
“I know there’s a big gap between the rich and the poor in this society, but you’re a kind person, a big shot. How can you have anything to do with a commoner like me? You should think about it carefully. People like us are the kind of beasts of burden that you can like.”
Upon hearing that Su Hanze had contacted a lawyer, the male student's knees buckled, and he wished he could immediately kneel down and beg for mercy.
Seeing that Su Hanze remained silent, the male classmate thought he still had a chance and began to launch into another long-winded speech—
“I just feel it’s really unfair. You know, the cost for a man to get married is too high. A car, a house, and a dowry costing millions are all on my shoulders. I have to get married to carry on the family line, so I’m in a bad mood and I’m always talking nonsense. Actually, I have no problem with you or your wife. Please don’t blame me.”
Su Hanze looked at him and asked in a cold voice, "Are you done?"
The male student was intimidated by his somewhat stern gaze and nodded after a long while: "I'm done."
"In your eyes, my wife doesn't deserve your apology, so you keep chasing me to apologize. You've really shown me how despicable people like you are. It's your own fault for not being able to find wives. You think you can get a well-educated and sensible wife with a dowry of tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan, who will also have to carry on your family line? You're dreaming!"
"Whose name is on the car and house? You've included them in the cost of getting married. Who gave you the nerve to do that?"
"That's true. If I weren't going to get married, why would I need to buy a motorhome? I'm perfectly fine living in a rented apartment."
Su Hanze saw through the male classmate's true character and didn't even bother to say a word to him.
To his surprise, Jiang Tian got angry.
"So what? The marriage law has been reformed. If you really marry a wife, she can't take your car and house after you divorce. Why do you insist that those are the costs of your marriage? What do you mean by costs? Living with you, having to pay for sex, and possibly suffering your verbal abuse—who will pay for these losses? Aren't these hidden costs costs?"
"A woman renting a place on her own costs at most ten or twenty thousand yuan a year, and it doesn't harm her health. She doesn't need to worry about gynecological diseases. What can she get in return for living with you? A man like you should not have a wife. Your quality is best kept single, otherwise you will only harm others."
"Smelly--"
The male student became furious.
However, before he could finish speaking, Su Hanze couldn't help but attack him.
The male student was quickly beaten to the ground.
"I want to call the police! I want to call the police!"
This male student was indeed furious.
"You're fighting each other. What's the use of calling the police? At most, Young Master Su will cover your medical expenses, and you'll sign a settlement agreement. Besides, you insulted his wife first, which is why he attacked you. If you're smart, leave now. After Young Master Su beats you up, he might calm down and not sue you. Otherwise, just wait and see, your life won't be easy."
The others tried their best to persuade the male student.
"I can go to the police station with you."
Even after getting into a fight, Su Hanze, standing to the side, remained impeccably polite.
Seeing his composure, the male classmate became timid.
This time he learned his lesson and immediately apologized to Jiang Tian: "I was wrong, I was wrong, please forgive me. I will never dare to do it again. I will never say a word against you again. I am just an ordinary worker. I hope you will not make things difficult for me. You are all so rich, can't you care about the poor?"
Jiang Tian remained silent: "I do not accept your apology, and your apology is insincere. But if you are willing to leave now, I may consider persuading my husband to withdraw his lawsuit."
Seeing that the other students kept their distance and were unwilling to speak up for him, the male student realized he was in the wrong. He also understood that if he continued to stay there, it would likely lead to even worse consequences. The thought made him extremely uncomfortable, so he slunk away.
"This kind of person is very vengeful. The best way is not to provoke him. If you do provoke him, don't be afraid, I will take care of him for you."
Su Hanze said to Jiang Tian.
His tone was unusually gentle, and there was no intention to show off.
However, his words still made many people envious of Jiang Tian.
She definitely married the right person.
Jiang Tian's reaction was indifferent. She continued to look at him and said, "There are others too. Many people are targeting me. Now that you're my husband, you should at least stand up for me."
Seeing that Jiang Tian still wouldn't budge and was still determined to pursue the matter, many people were getting annoyed with her.
Why do we have to pursue this? They were just saying a few random things; who could have imagined such serious consequences?
“Okay, I will investigate their companies and talk to them one by one. Nobody wants an employee with questionable character. Their companies will resolve the issue for them, without even requiring any penalty for breach of contract.”
Su Hanze seemed to be able to execute orders precisely, with everything revolving around Jiang Tian.
"Jiang Tian, please don't! The economy isn't doing well right now, and we finally found jobs. How can we be fired because of something like this?"
Everyone else panicked and pleaded with Jiang Tian for mercy.
How could they not panic? Su Hanze could clearly really put them out of work.
"Do you really know you were wrong?"
Jiang Tian said to the person pleading with her.
"Yes, we shouldn't spread rumors, and we shouldn't be jealous of your success."
Jiang Tian looked at them: "So in your eyes, I don't deserve to be treated well, right?"
"No, it's not..."
Jiang Tian suddenly revealed a somewhat chilly smile.
She shook her head, said nothing more, and made no promise not to hold them accountable. She simply said to Su Hanze, who was standing to the side, "I'm very tired now and don't want to talk to anyone. Let's go back."
