Zeng Yufen and her son in Kyoto have received news of the operation's failure. Both of them are somewhat frightened, wondering if Han Yixian will find out that the matter is related to them.
Han Yikun knew his elder brother's methods, and he was initially afraid of this risky operation, anxiously waiting for good news. Unexpectedly, he received news of failure.
He paced anxiously in the living room, looking at his mother who seemed completely unaffected, and said, "Mom, you're still so relaxed. If my older brother finds out what we've been doing behind our backs, he definitely won't let us off the hook."
Zeng Yufen glanced at her son, who was so anxious and flustered, and said, "Look at you, so pathetic. So what if he finds out?"
Han Yikun rolled his eyes helplessly as he listened to his mother's words and said, "Mom, you don't know how ruthless my older brother is, do you? You treated his fiancée so badly, but he didn't go after you because you're his mother."
But I refuse to believe that my older brother wasn't involved in how I got to this point. Although it may not seem like he was directly involved, he must have been behind the scenes.
My future is ruined. The only reason they're still letting me work as a factory laborer is because of the Han family. I work myself to the bone every day for such low wages; my friends are laughing at me to death.
Zeng Yufen said, "I don't believe he has that much ability. It's just that you're not ambitious enough. He was so powerful before because of the Han family's influence. Now that he's broken away from the Han family, how can he be as powerful as before?"
Han Yikun shook his head and said, "Mom, don't you understand yet? Although my older brother has said that he has left the Han family, my dad doesn't think so. He still considers my older brother to be the future heir of the Han family."
My dad has abandoned me. I'm in this state now; what future do I have? The Han family will eventually fall into my older brother's hands again.
Zeng Yufen suddenly said sharply, "What do you mean 'your elder brother'? He's a bastard, he's not your elder brother at all, and he doesn't deserve it."
Han Yikun's eyes widened as he asked, "Mom, what do you mean by that?"
Zeng Yufen said, "What do you mean? It means that he is not my son at all, nor is he a member of the Han family, nor is he your older brother. In order to marry into the Han family, I had to lie and say that I was pregnant. He is a child I just found outside."
Han Yikun was somewhat incredulous when he suddenly heard such explosive news today.
He frowned and said, "Mom, this isn't right. If my older brother isn't Dad's biological son, how come they look so alike? No one would doubt that they're not father and son."
Zeng Yufen said, "That's just a coincidence. There are many people in this world who look alike, but they are not related at all. In short, I can be sure that Han Yixian is not my son, let alone your father's son."
So you don't need to treat him like your older brother anymore. The Han family must be yours in the future, otherwise what's the point of us enduring humiliation and staying in the Han family?
"If that's the case, I'd rather destroy the Han family."
Han Yikun broke out in a cold sweat as he listened to his mother's words; he had received a lot of information today.
His original elder brother was not a member of the Han family and had no blood relation to him, which explains why his mother was never close to Han Yixian.
Furthermore, he sensed from his mother that she harbored deep resentment towards his father.
Han Yikun said, "Mom, even if Han Yixian isn't your son, and isn't a member of the Han family, you can't say this. Saying it won't be good for you. My dad won't let me inherit the Han family business either."
Don't forget, my second uncle's cousins can also inherit the Han family business.
Given my father's current attitude towards me, the Han family will never let me be in charge in the future.
Zeng Yufen's expression suddenly turned ferocious as she said fiercely, "Then destroy the Han family, make them all ruined, and never have a chance to rise again. Make them pay back all the grievances I suffered before."
Han Yikun said, "Mom, you can't do that. If the Han family is ruined, it won't do us any good. If the Han family is ruined, we'll be even more ruined."
Zeng Yufen said, "You don't need to worry about that. We'll sever ties with the Han family and go find your cousin. He'll take care of us. He'll make sure the Han family is completely ruined."
"I'll have your cousin find you a better job later, one that will at least have a better future than your current one."
Han Yikun's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "Really? I don't have to be a heavy laborer like before anymore? Then I'll do whatever you say."
Han Yikun felt that since he had no chance of advancement in the Han family, he would no longer compromise himself there.
If his mother could get his cousin to help him, that would be the best outcome.
This mother and son, in cahoots, began plotting, and a conspiracy against the Han family was brewing. The Han family was about to face a major crisis.
Seeing that He Yuhan was tired, Han Yixian didn't let her work hard to cook dinner. Instead, he told He Yuhan to lie down and rest on the heated kang in the east room, and he would cook dinner himself.
After learning from He Yuhan for a period of time, he has learned to cook some simple dishes.
He Yuhan didn't stand on ceremony. She was really tired and wanted to rest. Today, she was just waiting to eat what was served.
Han Yi was relieved to see He Yuhan lying down to rest. He could tell that his fiancée was not only tired, but also in a bad mood. He wondered what she had said earlier had reminded her of something unpleasant.
Han Yixian knew that He Yuhan must have had a very difficult life before she met him. She seemed unwilling to talk about her childhood, so it must have been a very tough time for her.
He Yuhan should have been a girl who was pampered by her parents, but she suffered a lot because she was separated from her parents at a young age.
If it weren't for his adoptive parents being kind, He Yuhan might have died long ago. He wouldn't have met such a wonderful girl, nor would he have recovered his legs and been able to stand up again.
It was all fate that brought them together, made them know each other, and made them fall in love.
Han Yi first checked the food in the kitchen and found that He Yuhan had prepared a truly comprehensive meal. There was rice, wheat flour, cornmeal, and other refined and whole grains. There were also some mixed grains and a pile of sweet potatoes. Oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and all sorts of seasonings were also readily available.
There was a large basket of eggs, about ten pounds of fresh pork, two large grass carp kept in a bucket, and two dressed chickens that had already been cleaned.
Besides meat, there were also many vegetables: common ones like cabbage, potatoes, onions, carrots, winter melon, pumpkin, and scallions, and less common ones like celery, leeks, and spinach. It's incredibly rare to see leafy greens like these in C city during winter. I wonder where He Yuhan got them.
