Chapter 377: Causing Trouble at Han Jianyou’s school (II)
Han Ruochen was stunned. However, she soon realised that Zhai Muchen was only looking after her. Her heart could not help but flutter. She smiled and agreed. "You don’t need to be worried, Brother Muchen. I am not a fool; I will naturally not fight with my mother in front of others." If she dared to lose her temper with Meng Yunhan in front of the teachers, even if she was correct, Han Ruochen knew that she would leave a bad impression on the teachers and the principal.
Han Jianyou was going to study at this school for a few more months. She could not ruin his social connections for a few moments of anger. After all, filial piety was a very important thing, and with that pressing down on her shoulders, she did not dare to lose her temper with Meng Yunhan or else she would be called out for having corrupt moral values.
"It’s good that you know." Zhai Muchen nodded before driving away. Once he was gone, Old Madam Han walked over and said, "I will take care of your mother. You stay behind me and don’t let that woman lead you around by your nose." Old Madam Han knew Meng Yunhan very well. That woman was stubborn and arrogant. Even when she was caught doing something wrong, she would either insist that she never did anything wrong or try to drag someone else down with her and muddy the water.
Old Madam Han was worried that Han Ruochen would be dragged down by her mother.
"Grandmother, don’t worry; I will not say a word when you confront my mother." Han Ruochen knew what she needed to do and immediately agreed. She would be a fool to cause trouble after being warned twice by people who cared for her.
When Old Madam Han saw that Han Ruochen had agreed, she heaved a sigh of relief. She walked inside the school with her head held high, just in time to hear Meng Yunhan acting like a monster in the principal’s office.
"Why can’t I make my son quit school? I am his mother! I was the one who paid his fees. Since I have made my decision, you need to sign the documents and return the fees to me." Meng Yunhan was really frustrated. After she met with Yun Xinye, she could not help but feel distressed over what Yun Xinye’s daughter had to go through just because of Han Jianyou.
Of course, since Han Jianyou dared to act so ’naughty’, she was going to teach him a lesson. Just because he got a good rank, he dared to bully a little girl. He had not even got a job yet, and he was already acting up. Meng Yunhan was worried that if he ended up becoming a big official, he would cause trouble for Yun Xinye and her once they got married. It was better to nip the bud before it started to bloom.
Let that boy stay at home and pick seafood like his elder sister.
Principal Ji sighed when he heard the scolding words of Meng Yunhan. No wonder Han Ruochen told them to hand over Han Jianyou’s matter to her or her father. With a mother like this, he was worried that Han Jianyou would be ruined by her. He sucked in a breath and repeated, "Mrs Han, I have already told you. Your husband called us a few weeks back and told us that he would be the one in charge of Jianyou’s schooling. The matters related to Han Jianyou will be relayed to him and decided by him. If you want Jianyou to stop studying, please ask your husband to bring this matter forward."
The principal was also tired after going in circles with Meng Yunhan. If not for the fact that he knew that Han Jianyou’s situation was troublesome, he would have never allowed his mother to cause trouble for him in such a manner. This woman was too much; no matter what he said or how he tried to explain, she pretended not to understand a thing. Even if the principal was not a man with a temper, he had long run out of patience!
"I have already told you that my husband has met with an accident and we need every penny to save his life! Since my husband is fighting for his life, how can I let my son continue his studies? Isn’t that an unfilial thing to do? He cannot even make such a small sacrifice for his father. What is the point of his studying so much? He is just wasting our hard-earned money—"
Meng Yunhan was still speaking passionately when Old Madam Han rushed in. She raised her hand and slapped Meng Yunhan as hard as she could. "Your hard-earned money? You damned woman, you will die if you don’t sit still for a day, don’t you?!"
Old Madam Han did not want to slap Meng Yunhan initially, but after hearing the shameless words coming from her mouth, she just could not stop herself. What did she mean by that she wanted the money to save Han Yichen’s life? What was there to save when Han Ruochen and Han Yong had already done most of the hard work and the fees had been paid?
Han Jianyou’s fees were less than ten yuan; how could they even help Han Yichen in this situation?
"mo...Mom?" Meng Yunhan clasped her cheek and looked at Old Madam Han. At first, she could not believe that Old Madam Han was standing in front of her and did a slow blink, but when she saw that the woman was indeed standing in the same room as her, her face turned pale. Oh no. The reason she dared to run amok was that she believed that Han Ruochen and the rest would be too busy with Han Yichen and would not have time to pay attention to her, but what was this? How come her mother in law came looking for her at the school?
