The fact that the two men were so conspicuous drew attention from many people.
En Yan's curious eyes kept looking around. If Xiao Yuan hadn't just told him to talk less, he probably would have started asking all sorts of questions by now.
They ordered a few more things and the three of them began to eat quietly. Xiao Yuan didn't eat much, as he spent almost the entire time taking care of Bai Qingzhi.
Eun-yeon looked much more disheveled, with even grains of rice stuck to the corners of her mouth.
Bai Qingzhi picked up a napkin to wipe him, but Xiao Yuan snatched it away first.
Xiao Yuan rubbed En Yan's face vigorously with obvious disgust, then took out a wet wipe and wiped his hands repeatedly.
He truly never imagined that he would be able to wipe a man's mouth in his lifetime!
He could even feel the growing excitement in the eyes of several young girls around them as they looked at the two of them.
As they were finishing their meal, a figure suddenly appeared beside them. The three of them looked up at the same time and saw that it was Han's father.
Han Lan has been imprisoned, but due to the backlash of the curse, he has now become an old man in his seventies or eighties, and even the organs in his body are aging rapidly.
The doctor predicted that Han Lan would not live more than three months.
Han's father also learned the general outline of the matter and was heartbroken that his daughter had done such a thing. He knew the seriousness of the matter, so he didn't even think of coming to plead for leniency.
Today, Han's father encountered Xiao Yuan by chance and decided to come over to apologize in person.
After all, she was his daughter. Mr. Han looked much older, with a few strands of white hair appearing on his head.
"Is there something you need, Mr. Han?" Xiao Yuan asked politely.
"Mr. Xiao, I've come to apologize to you." Mr. Han's voice was soft, and his body was slightly bent.
"I accept your apology." Xiao Yuan had already investigated and found that Han's father was unaware of what Han Lan had done. He wouldn't implicate others.
"However, your wife really needs a good warning. I haven't touched her only because of President Han," Xiao Yuan continued.
That day, his men took Han's mother away, only to ask for Han Lan's location before releasing her. Xiao Yuan naturally wouldn't let Han's mother go, but he didn't want to dirty his hands either.
Han's father knew a little about this matter and guessed that his wife must have been involved. He realized what was going on when he heard Xiao Yuan's words today.
It turned out that it wasn't that his wife wasn't involved enough, but rather that Xiao Yuan wanted him to handle his family affairs.
This can be considered as saving face.
Han Lan could use the excuse that he was blinded by love, but if his wife's affair were to be exposed, it would be a complete disgrace to the Han family.
Han's father glanced gratefully at Xiao Yuan and then hurriedly took his leave.
Meanwhile, at the Han family home, Han's mother sat anxiously on the sofa.
She felt a pang of heartache at Han Lan's accident, but compared to the treatment she herself would face, Han's mother was even more anxious.
Suddenly the door opened, and when she looked up, she saw Mr. Han walk in. Mrs. Han immediately stood up.
"How is it? Can Han Lan's matter be resolved?" Han's mother asked anxiously.
As long as Han Lan's matter can be resolved, Xiao Yuan shouldn't hold it against her too much as an accomplice, right?
Han's father didn't answer, but Han's mother could tell from his expression that Han Lan would probably never get out of there, even if he died.
Disappointed, Han's mother sat back down and began to cry.
"Do you know what everyone thinks of me when I go out? They all say behind my back that I raised a daughter who is more ambitious than the sky, and those women who used to fawn over me, now they all want to stay far away from me!" Han's mother kept complaining.
She couldn't quite accept this difference.
She was used to vanity, especially after she intentionally or unintentionally revealed that her daughter's relationship with Xiao Yuan was unusual. Those women wanted to praise her to the skies even more.
Comparing the current situation to what it is now, Han's mother felt like she couldn't exhale any air from her chest.
She especially missed the days when she could command a large following.
Enraged by his mother's stubbornness, Han's father gritted his teeth and, amidst her incessant grumbling, smashed the cup in his hand to the ground.
Han's mother was startled, and then, like a cat with its fur standing on end, she jumped up from the sofa.
"What are you doing? Our daughter went in, and you didn't care or ask about it, but now you're yelling at me like this? Don't you want to live with me anymore?" Han's mother's voice was sharp, making Han's father's ears hurt.
Seeing his wife's appearance, Han's father couldn't contain his anger and finally slapped her amidst her constant shrill shouts.
Han's mother's hair immediately became disheveled, and she looked at Han's father in disbelief.
"Over the years, you and Han Lan have spent money like water, and you've been bullying others outside. Don't think I don't know. I haven't bothered with you because it's just money. But now you're getting bolder and bolder, and now you even dare to scheme against Xiao Yuan!" Han's father was so angry that his chest heaved.
Han's mother's eyes flickered, and she was about to speak up and make excuses when she heard Han's father recount what had happened.
Han's mother lowered her head and looked around. She knew that Han's father had been patient with her for a long time, but he still felt sorry for his daughter.
If Han Lan were to use himself as an excuse at this point, Han's father would definitely be even angrier, but if Han Lan were to be used as an excuse, Han's father would surely calm down.
After figuring it out, Han's mother's expression changed immediately. Her eyes reddened as she looked up and whispered:
"Honey, Han Lan is in there now. If you don't think of something, I can only try to distract myself every day. What else am I supposed to do?"
After saying that, she started crying.
"Han Lan's fate is sealed. Who told her to have her eye on someone she shouldn't have?" Han's father slumped back onto the sofa, speaking with a bitter smile.
Hearing this, Han's mother became anxious and abruptly looked up to question him:
"Are you really not going to care about your daughter anymore? She's your only child!"
When Han Lan was five years old, the three of them went on a trip and got into a car accident. It was after that accident that Han's father was unable to have any more children. Otherwise, given their family background, how could they not want a son?
Because of this, Han's mother was certain that Han's father would tolerate her for the sake of their only daughter, which is why she became increasingly arrogant over the years, entirely because she had this issue under her control.
"Who said I only have one child?" Han's father used to cherish her as his wife, but now that she has done such a thing, he has no reason to hold back anymore.
Upon hearing his words, Han's mother's previous pitiful demeanor vanished completely, and her eyes widened as if she couldn't believe her ears.
He has children? What does that mean?
"I originally wanted to leave you with something, but what you did this time has really disappointed me. Yuan'er has been away for too many years, it's time for him to come back," Han's father sighed.
"Who was it? When?" Mother Han couldn't care less about anything else.
If Han's father really does have another child outside, then he himself...
When Han's father met a soulmate, the two fell in love and the woman became pregnant.
