Chapter 212: Chapter 30: The Greatest Revenge_2

Han Kuang made himself comfortable on the bed while Han Shouzhen peeled an orange for him and said, "You’ll stay in this room for a couple of days. Tomorrow, I’ll get a room ready downstairs with my brother, and then you can move down."

The old man had injured his leg, and if he took a fall on the stairs again, that would be disastrous.

Han Kuang nodded; he was now especially compliant with his children.

"There’s no need for you and Shouxin to bother. Dong Fei and I can handle it," Liu Yuzhi suddenly interjected, aiming to please.

Lately, Liu Yuzhi had come to understand that the old man was thoroughly disgusted with her, but she still had a son and grandson. Even if she couldn’t get her hands on the inheritance that Gu Fangwei had hidden away, the old man would never leave Han Shouyi with nothing.

As for her, if the old man wanted to sour his face at her, so be it. It’s not like he could divorce her anyway.

"No need for you," Han Kuang said with a cold face. "Go back to your room. I don’t want to see you."

Liu Yuzhi didn’t take it to heart; after a few polite words, she left.

"How is it going with Shoulu..." Han Kuang asked somewhat anxiously.

"No word." Seeing the disappointed look on Han Kuang’s face, Han Shouzhen couldn’t help but comfort him, "Brother said Shoulu is due for a promotion soon. We shouldn’t disturb him with these trifles."

How had his own father become a trifle?

Han Kuang initially felt unsatisfied, but then he perked up, "Shoulu is getting promoted? Then he must be becoming a battalion commander this time around, right? His rank will probably be at least a colonel, maybe even a major general."

He had already reviewed Shen Chi’s resume and, despite his rough life, was shocked by his youngest son’s achievements. There was truly no one in their circle who could match his youngest.

Take his eldest son, for instance. Although he was now a Major General, it was through administrative work, achieved step by step with the help of his tenure and family background. The closest he had come to the battlefield was working in logistics, never engaging in actual combat.

But his youngest son was different—looking the most like him and inheriting all his military talent: brave, intelligent, and ruthless. He had fought his way to success without any backing and with Liu Yuzhi trying to sabotage him.

"Just keep quiet. If it weren’t for you, Shoulu would have been a major general years ago." Thinking of this, Han Shouzhen harbored much resentment in her heart.

Every time she thought of how her brother had to push twice as hard in the military for years, it pained her deeply.

She remembered when Shoulu was still at home, spoiled rotten by them—a boy who should have been pampered, but ended up suffering more hardships than both she and her brother combined.

"And how is it because of me?" Han Kuang felt guilty yet still couldn’t help but retort.

Han Shouzhen didn’t argue with him but changed the subject, "What do you plan to do with Liu Yuzhi and Dong Fei? It’s not a solution to keep them locked up forever."

"I don’t know." Han Kuang was conflicted. He wished to divorce Liu Yuzhi, but he knew it was impossible. As for Han Shouyi and Dong Fei, that was even less feasible. If he got a divorce, it might cause some gossip, but if Shouyi divorced, he could kiss his research position goodbye, not to mention he had to consider his grandson.

"Let Shouyi’s family take Liu Yuzhi and leave," Han Shouzhen suggested. "Also, explain the situation to Shouyi and make her see those two women’s true faces." She had long been dissatisfied with her brother moving out while Shouyi’s family stayed at the old house, as if Han Shouyi were the true heir.

Han Shouzhen held no ill will towards her half-brother Han Shouyi, but she didn’t have any warmth for him either. Her lack of ill will was because Shouyi was a man of integrity, never compromising others for personal gain and always treating her and her brother with respect. She had no warmth because, good as he might be, he was still the son of Liu Yuzhi, standing on the opposing side.

It was precisely because of Han Shouyi’s character that Han Shouzhen wanted to reveal Liu Yuzhi and Dong Fei’s actions, as well as events from the past, to him. Even though Shouyi was old enough to remember things when he came to the Han Family, Liu Yuzhi could easily deceive him due to his naiveness. So, he had always believed Liu Yuzhi’s claim that he was not an illegitimate child.

She could imagine how Shouyi would loathe his origin and feel betrayal, hatred, and disappointment towards Liu Yuzhi and Dong Fei once he learned the truth.

Han Shouzhen firmly believed this was the greatest revenge on them.

Han Kuang had clearly understood Han Shouzhen’s intention, his eyes lighting up, "Fine, I’ll call Shouyi back right away." He might claim he didn’t care about this son, but compared to the three children of his beloved wife, Han Shouyi’s place in his heart was indeed lacking.

Even Shen Chi, due to various reasons, had come to hold a much higher position in Han Kuang’s heart than Han Shouyi.

Different from the murderer he once thought responsible for his wife’s death, Shen Chi was now seen as a treasure his wife left him. He owed Shen Chi so much and now wished only to repay him tenfold, a hundredfold.

"And as for Liu Yuzhi using your name to suppress Shoulu..." Han Shouzhen said coldly, "You better take note, don’t be clueless about her causing trouble with your reputation."

Thinking about it made her feel nauseous with disgust.

Han Kuang’s face flushed with embarrassment; upon hearing this, he could only nod, then suddenly, looking at his daughter with excitement, he said, "Zhenzhen, it looks like your sickness is better?"

After all the sensitive events that had transpired recently, where she would have fallen ill in the past, she remained unaffected—wasn’t that proof enough?

"Perhaps. I feel much clearer in my head than before. Maybe I’ll be able to go back to work in a while," Han Shouzhen said, thinking of the results they had gotten from the hospital the day before, her smile growing even brighter.
