Free Web NovelChapter 2162: Chapter 2163: The First Wife Leaving with Nothing 82
Zhang Yu checked the time, went online, and saw that there were a lot of comments under her social media account, all kinds of remarks. She casually scrolled through them and spotted quite a few familiar accounts—those paid troll accounts.
Seeing those accounts show up, Zhang Yu couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. After all, the leading man still needed to be informed that the show had begun.
Hahaha, what a great New Year’s gift. Zhang Yu could already tell this was definitely the best New Year’s present for Han Bin.
She’d heard Xie Zhen mention once that Han Bin was full of enthusiasm about reviving the Han family and was gearing up for a big push. A guy in his early forties with that much drive ought to be able to handle a bit more workload.
If he could divert a little of the time he spends on romance into handling business, it’d be good for his own growth too.
Social apps were already buzzing like crazy, and of course her Moments were lively as well. Zhang Yu had not forgotten to post to her Moments.
The stuff posted publicly online could be seen by anyone with internet access, but Moments could only be seen by friends—and most of those were professionals—so the influence there might actually be even more explosive.
Xie Zhen had carefully calculated the timing and was watching closely; once it was time he went online to check the reactions after the post went out. What he didn’t expect was that Zhang Yu had also posted it to Moments. Seeing all the major finance-circle group chats start discussing the news within half an hour, he knew the counterattack was underway, and he was genuinely curious to see how the Han family would jump around.
These past few days the Japan and Korea families had been unbearably smug, bouncing around all over the place. Various so‑called colleagues, friends, and classmates of Zhang Yu popped up one after another, all just to "let everyone know what kind of person Zhang Yu is."
Zhang Yu’s silence only made them more pleased with themselves, talking even louder, looking very much like they were convinced she was in the wrong.
Who knows if they’ll enjoy this kind of counterattack; odds are they won’t. If this isn’t handled properly, never mind Han Bin—his father and son duo, even the entire Han family, are going to be hit with a massive scandal. Their already unsatisfying second‑tier family status might very well slide even further down.
Han Bin had just finished a meeting assigning tasks through the end of February. As he walked out of the conference room, he saw quite a few subordinates huddled together in small groups, discussing something.
But the moment he walked over, they all shut up. Their reaction made him very annoyed; he kept feeling they were discussing something related to him. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
He glanced at the secretary following behind him, and the latter immediately went off to find out what was going on.
Right at that moment, his phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was actually a call from his father.
Wondering what on earth the old man wanted from him, he had just connected the call when he heard his own old man roaring on the other end.
What the hell? Han Bin looked completely baffled. He had no idea why he was suddenly getting chewed out. Had the old man let some little vixen egg him on again?
Thinking of a few "bosom confidantes" of those old men who’d been especially active lately, he felt that some people really needed to be taught a lesson, or else they’d think they were invincible.
Mr. Han waited for quite a while and noticed there was no response from the other end. He grew even more annoyed: "Are you listening or not? Get online right now and take a look. Don’t you have those finance group chats? You don’t know how to read them?"
Mr. Han: "Call me back after you’ve finished reading the news."
From Mr. Han’s tone, Han Bin immediately heard what it meant: something had gone wrong, and something big at that. At this moment, he still didn’t connect it to Zhang Yu. To have the old man flying off the handle like this, it had to be a major incident.
He opened several group chats in a row and saw they were all discussing the same thing—Zhang Yu had posted content on social media and in her Moments.
And she had gone head‑to‑head with the Han family directly. Panicking a little, he had no time to lurk in the chats; he went straight onto social media, found Zhang Yu’s account, and clicked on the pinned post.
Reading what was on the screen, Han Bin was stunned. His first reaction was that someone had definitely betrayed him; otherwise how would she know all this?
You have to know their work had never overlapped. At first he thought maybe Han Xue had sold him out—after all, they were both from the Han family, and if she really wanted to dig, she could probably find out a thing or two.
But after seeing some of the details, he knew it absolutely wasn’t Han Xue—or rather, there was no way Han Xue could know everything this completely. Because even his father didn’t know about some of those moves, or you could say he’d acted against the old man’s wishes.
He’d originally figured the old man would never imagine he would do something like that, so he’d never taken it to heart. And things had indeed played out the way he’d expected: the old man had no idea it was him pulling the strings and instead thought it was someone else, trading blows with that person several times.
"How could this happen, how could it?" Han Bin truly couldn’t understand. He could’ve scratched his scalp raw and still not figured out what was going on.
With the old man already impossible to placate, he himself was at his wits’ end. But as he kept reading, his heart jumped again—right there it was, the part where he schemed against the Yue family.
Last time, that incident blew up big. A lot of evidence pointed to his elder brother‑in‑law. No matter how he argued, he couldn’t overcome the fact that the guy had prior offenses. Even his own parents didn’t believe him, and now he was inside "receiving re‑education."
He had already calculated it all: with the elder brother‑in‑law locked up, there was no way he could take over Yue family affairs after getting out. As for the younger brother‑in‑law, he was obsessed with calligraphy and painting and had no interest in any of this. So in the end, the Yue family could only rely on him. If he didn’t take over, the Yue family was completely out of options.
But now—how could this be? Han Bin’s whole body was shaking. Wait. He suddenly realized something: he’d gotten so many calls, but none of them were from his father‑in‑law or his wife. What was going on?
Did they not know about this yet? If they didn’t know, that would actually be for the best. He needed to quickly think of a way to bluff his way through this.
But thinking it through, that didn’t seem very likely. Even if they hadn’t seen the posts themselves, there would definitely be some gossip‑lover to inform the Yue family. No one could watch a son‑in‑law scheme against their own son and still treat that son‑in‑law well afterward.
Recently, because of the little lover situation, his wife had already been giving him the cold shoulder. She’d taken the kid and moved out, and he hadn’t paid it much mind. After marrying him, she’d basically stayed home raising the family. That crappy job she held was just to kill time. With that tiny salary of hers, she could barely support herself, let alone their son.
Han Bin had always known she would eventually cave. But now, his heart kept sinking—he was screwed. No, he absolutely couldn’t let things blow up on the Yue family’s side; he had to soothe them at all costs.
He could already picture the outside world boiling over. Those he’d schemed against, those watching the Han family like a tiger eyeing its prey, and those within the Han family he’d been suppressing—all of them were definitely itching to make a move right now.
And then there were the old man’s sons on the outside, who were probably thrilled. An opportunity this good—if they exploited it well, it’d be their chance to turn the tables. How could they not seize it? freewebnovel.cσ๓
What to do? The best move right now would be to stabilize the old man and his father‑in‑law. Tough, though. Thinking of this, Han Bin’s face drooped. Even without having tried it yet, he knew this was going to be insanely difficult to pull off.
But there was no choice. Difficult or not, he had to do it—otherwise the one who’d die would be him.
At this point he really did feel a bit of regret. Why did he have to target Zhang Yu in the first place? If he hadn’t gone after her, none of this would be happening.
