Chapter 1045 - 1045 Troublemaker
1045 Troublemaker
“Brother, should we pick an auspicious day? We, the Han family, must hold a grand banquet to celebrate this reunion!”
Han Dazhu immediately interrupted Han Cang’s suggestion, stating indifferently, “No need for such troubles. A banquet is unnecessary. We need to return home in a few days; there’s much business to attend to, and I can’t rest easy without overseeing it.”
Although Han Cang was slightly displeased, he agreed. After all, the kinship was acknowledged, and his task was complete. He would take his time to deepen these newly rekindled relations.
“Oh, right, there’s another matter for which I must apologize…”
His expression suddenly became stern as he looked towards Han Shuangshuang, speaking firmly, “Come here and apologize. Just because Grandpa Mu didn’t pursue yesterday’s matter doesn’t mean I won’t. Speak out what you did and don’t make me embarrass you in front of everyone.”
Han Shuangshuang’s face turned pale. She thought her grandfather’s visit was solely for acknowledging the long-lost family members. Little did she expect to still have to face this.
Biting her lower lip resentfully, she stole a glance at the indifferent Mu Di, feeling even more aggrieved, her tears nearly spilling.
“Say something.”
Seeing that she was silent and looked like she was about to cry, Han Cang was furious. He waited for her angrily. “I’ve always spoiled you so much that you can’t tell right from wrong. After this matter, your marriage with Yufeng should be put on the agenda.”
Han Shuangshuang suddenly raised her head and looked at her grandfather in disbelief. She shouted anxiously, “Grandpa, you know that I don’t like him. Why do you still want me to marry someone I don’t like?”
Zhao Yufeng was engaged to Han Shuangshuang when she was young. When Han Cang’s father was still alive, he owed the Zhao family a favor. Therefore, the Zhao family wanted Zhao Yufeng to marry Han Shuangshuang.
Han Cang knew that the child from the Zhao family did not really like Han Shuangshuang. Instead, he wanted to use the Han family to climb up. After all, although the Han family was not a legend in the business world, it was also a giant. If he could cozy up to them, it would be very helpful to the Zhao family’s future development.
However, in this way, they could only sacrifice Han Shuangshuang. Initially, Han Jiafeng and his wife did not agree to marrying their daughter off this, but the Zhao family had shamelessly revealed this matter. If they did not agree, one could imagine how serious the consequences would be to the reputation of the Han family. People would also say that the Han family went back on their word…
Fortunately, Han Shuangshuang was not old enough to get married. However, she would grow up one day. She was about to turn 23. The Zhao family had already visited the Han family many times. It would be hard for the Han family to continue rejecting them.
It was also because of this that Han Shuangshuang was used by Mu Yali. She thought that after she got together with Mu Di, the Han and Zhao families would not be able to do anything to her and this matter would be resolved.
However, this plan not only failed to resolve the issue but also risked dragging the Mu family into controversy. With Mu Sheng and Mu Wen in government positions, any scandal could attract those waiting to exploit the Mu family’s vulnerabilities.
Sadly, Mu Yali and Han Shuangshuang, consumed by their plot against Qin Xi, failed to consider these consequences.
“This matter is non-negotiable. Apologize now, immediately!” Han Cang insisted, his tone leaving no room for refusal.
Han Shuangshuang clenched her teeth, feeling as though her heart was being squeezed, her tears flowing like raindrops. She shook her head frantically, pointing at Qin Xi and yelling, “It’s all your fault! No wonder Yali called you a trouble-maker. Nothing good comes from being associated with you!”
