Free Web NovelChapter 328: Smart Lady
"Who wants to bond with him?"
"I apologise for the inconvenience."
Zhai Heng once again erupted when he heard the words of his uncle. He turned and glared at him hatefully. "There are 365 days in a year, and I am almost twenty-seven now; tell me how many days my parents are at home? Even you come to see us only a few times a year. No matter what, even if you want to control and teach me, I am telling you, you are way too late! When we wanted and needed our elders to help us, you were not there. Never there. Now you don’t need to interfere in my relationship with Han Ruochen."
"My auntie is simply crazy. Do you want to follow in her steps as well? I treat Xiao Ruochen as my sister. She is like my little sister. We do not share any messy relationships like my father mentioned. She did not want to admit that her son had committed a crime and wanted to pretend that that bastard was still innocent! Damn—she really thinks that your father is the one who will suffer in silence like this? She still has the cheek to say that Yun Tao is the one who was being wronged!"
"Whose father are you?"
"Who are you calling your son?"
At that juncture, Han Ruochen and Zhou Ziming had the same expression on their faces as they rebuked Zhai Heng. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Zhai Heng glared at his uncle, but because Han Ruochen was standing there with them, he did not say any harsh words at the moment. He was going to take care of this uncle of his later on. He narrowed his eyes and simply snorted at his uncle before looking away.
However, Han Ruochen had caught a piece of important information from Zhai Heng’s nonsense just now. She turned to look at Zhou Ziming with a cold expression. "It seems like there is more than what meets the eye. Should I not be given an explanation regarding this situation, Officer Zhou?" She could not do anything to her mother and Han Ziyan because they were her family, but nonetheless, she would never allow them to bully her willy-nilly. The same went for outsiders. Just because they were much more powerful than her did not mean that they were allowed to bully her as they wanted.
"It was just a false guess on the part of Madam Yun. You do not need to worry about it."
Zhou Ziming was not at all flustered.
"But she still mentioned it. Do I need to remind you of the strength and power rumours hold? You might think it might be nothing, but if something is said and repeated again and again a thousand times, someone will naturally believe it. If these rumours affect me, then who will be the one to blame? Officer Zhou, don’t think you can just make it sound so simple." Han Ruochen’s face became gloomy. She solemnly stated, "I might be nothing in the eyes of Madam Yun, but I can still state my stand, can I not?"
"..."
Zhou Ziming never thought that Han Ruochen was so hard to deal with. He naturally had nothing against Han Ruochen and Zhai Heng being friends. After all, Han Ruochen’s character was very good, and it seemed like she was also helping Zhai Heng grow up. Something his brother-in-law and sister failed to do. But who would have thought that Han Ruochen was a stubborn character who did not want to get entangled in any mess and would rather hide?
"What do you think you are doing?"
Zhai Heng was very nervous. From the looks of it, Han Ruochen seemed to be determined to break their friendship off. When he heard that Han Ruochen was not willing to stay his friend, he turned and glared at his uncle like a wounded bull. Who asked this man to come here and cause trouble?
"..."
Zhou Ziming felt speechless; he looked at his nephew and did not know what to say. This fool did not even know that it was a good thing that he came to Han Ruochen today. Earlier, he did not even mention that Madam Yun had made such shocking remarks; it was this idiot who let the cat out of the bag. At least with him, now he could give an explanation to Han Ruochen or else he would be done for!
He sucked in a breath and turned to look at Han Ruochen. "What do you want me to do, Miss Han?"
"The question is not what I want to do, but whether it can be done or not." She knew how to play Tai Chi as well.
Zhou Ziming raised his brows in appreciation when he heard Han Ruochen’s response; he had to admit that whoever this girl’s parents were, they were really smart. They had raised such a skilled daughter. Compared to her, Zhai Heng, who was older than her, looked like a fool even though he grew up in the quad.
"Alright, there is no need to worry; if there are any rumours regarding you and Ah Heng, then I will bring the Yun family members to explain it to you. Will that be okay?"
Zhou Ziming’s position in the army was not low at the moment. Though he started from the bottom, he was also skilled and rose to the top. It could be said that one of the reasons Yun Tao schemed against Zhai Heng was also Zhou Ziming. Even though Zhou Ziming was past forty, he did not have a child and was planning on leaving everything to his youngest nephew, as he believed that, compared to Zhai Muchen and Zhai Mumu, Zhai Heng needed it more.
Zhou Ziming also treated Zhai Heng like a son, as he grew up with him when he was young. Thus, Yun Tao was eyeing the big fortune that was behind Zhai Heng.
"If that is the case, then it is fine." Han Ruochen replied solemnly. Given the status that Zhou Ziming had, she believed that no one would dare to question him.
