That night.

The three of them had a simple meal at Century Garden.

Han Zhen also communicated with Han Zhi on the phone that night, but the effect was not very satisfactory. Han Zhi had the same idea as Han Hongde.

First of all, Zhou Mo cannot expose this matter, otherwise the Han family will never make it easy for Zhou Mo.

Secondly, Han Ze’s matter must be suppressed, and he cannot even go to trial in a disciplined manner. Once this happens, the Han family will be in a very passive position. If they are not careful, Han Ju, Han Pei, and Han Jing,

Han Ji, Han Chi, Han Qi, and Han Jue will all be affected.

Finally, if the Han family overturns, then everyone in the Han family will fall off the altar. This is what Han Hongde doesn't want to see.

And Zhou Mo also has her own persistence. She just wants to get the most fair result for her father.

The opinions of the two parties cannot be unified and the conflicts cannot be reconciled, but a certain degree of reconciliation has been temporarily reached.

Zhou Mo will not find the media to expose Han Ze's affairs, and the Han family will not embarrass Zhou Mo again.

This is the most ideal result that Han Zhen and Han Chen strive for.

However, the root of the problem has not been solved.

Han Hongde and Han Zhi are still as stubborn as ever.

Even because Han Ze's matter was so involved, Han Jing sided with Han Zhi and Han Hongde, and even talked to Han Chen on the phone to let Zhou Mo clarify the interests.

Han Jing's so-called interests only mean that once Han Ze's matter comes to light, even Han Chen will be implicated, and as Han Chen's wife, she must consider Han Chen and his future.

Zhou Mo didn't speak and remained silent.

But she was sneering in her heart.

It's not like she made Han Ze and Han Chen become brothers, so why should something happen to Han Ze involve Han Chen and make her suffer, and the victim is still her father.

Zhou Mo couldn't do it.

The so-called non-speculative words are more than enough. Zhou Mo was not willing to listen to their selfish words, so he picked up the bag, said goodbye and left.

Han Chen chased her out and said he wanted to see her off.

Zhou Mo didn't give in.

She twitched the corners of her lips slightly and said, "Go back, I can go back by myself."

Han Chen looked at her worriedly.

Zhou Mo: "There is something I want to confirm."

Han Chen: "What?"

Zhou Mo: "Why did your fourth brother hit my dad? Was it intentional?"

Han Chen pursed his lips: "From the current point of view, it was not intentional. No one instigated it, and there were no other human factors. You should also know the results of the investigation from the police. But... I have to wait for my fourth brother to know the specific situation.

Only after I woke up did I realize what had happened."

Zhou Mo nodded: "When the incident happened, my dad was driving my car."

Han Chen: "I understand what you are thinking. You suspect that my fourth brother's target is you."

Zhou Mo: "Yeah."

Han Chen: "But my fourth brother knows that we are traveling abroad. There is no way you can show up in Dongjiang with your car."

Zhou Mo: "So this is a traffic accident that is solely your fourth brother's fault, right?"

Han Chen: "It looks like this at the moment."

Zhou Mo: "Thank you for telling the truth. Goodbye."

She turned around and left.

…

The next day.

Zhou Mo took a leave of absence and stayed at home with Liu Xiangru.

Liu Xiangru has a cold and is taking leave at home.

Normally, at times like this, the person who would serve and accompany Liu Xiangru was Zhou Zheng, but now it could only be Zhou Mo.

Zhou Mo wiped Liu Xiangru's face and applied an antipyretic patch.

She sat on the bedside and said to Liu Xiangru: "Han Chen's father is here and I saw him. He said...if you agree, he wants to meet us formally."

Liu Xiangru was stunned for a moment, "Shouldn't he be in the imperial capital?"

Zhou Mo: "Grandpa Han Chen is in Dongjiang, and he came here before he went back. Someone made trouble in the breeding farm yesterday, and it was Han Chen and his father who mediated between them, so the matter was settled."

Liu Xiangru: "Then his father is pretty good."

Zhou Mo: "It's very good. He expressed his apology to me and said...he will be my father from now on, and he will treat me as his own and take good care of me."

Liu Xiangru's eyes were a little sore.

"It's good," she squeezed Zhou Mo's hand, "Han Chen's father is your father."

Zhou Mo shook his head, "Mom, I still can't get out."

I can't get over the shadow of losing Zhou Zheng.

Liu Xiangru's hands were extremely hot because of her fever, so Zhou Mo applied alcohol to her palms.

Liu Xiangru, who was lying on the bed, looked at Zhou Mo who was squatting beside him to serve him, his eyes inevitably sparkled.

"Not everyone in the Han family is so unreasonable. At least Han Chen and his father are very good. We have to treat them rationally," Liu Xiangru said.

"Well," Zhou Mo said, "I will try my best to look at it rationally."

"The days ahead are still long, and the days for you and Han Chen will be even longer. This matter is difficult, or too difficult, for you. We can't compromise on your father's matter, but... you also have to consider it.

What is the future direction of you and Han Chen?"

Liu Xiangru took Zhou Mo's hand and said sincerely: "I often wonder if I was too arbitrary at that time and tried desperately to bring you and Han Chen together, but now you are in this situation, making you suffer in the middle. What if?

At the beginning, I didn’t push you so hard. Even if you are not married yet and are still single, it will be better than the current situation. But I also think, there is no regret medicine in this world. No matter what happens, no matter how difficult it is, it will be better.

We can only bite the bullet."

Zhou Mo held Liu Xiangru's hand with both hands and said, "Yes."

That's what she did.

No matter how difficult it is, you have to bite the bullet and there is no way out.

The mother and daughter chatted a few more words and encouraged each other.

Zhou Mo asked Liu Xiangru: "What do you want to eat for lunch? I'll buy it."

Liu Xiangru: "I kind of want to eat ice cream."

Zhou Mo was stunned for a moment and said, "You are sick now, so you can't eat these."

Liu Xiangru: "I know, it's because I'm sick and feel hot all over that I want to eat cold food. When I mention ice cream, I think of your father. Didn't the ice cream Han Chen bought for you before be put in our refrigerator?

You are not at home often, so I basically eat you."

Zhou Mo said with a smile: "I knew you lied to me and told the children in the community, and my dad also helped you hide it from me."

Liu Xiangru said: "Yes, your father has always been towards me."

The more Zhou Mo thought about it, the sadder his heart became.

After losing Zhou Zheng, the person who was more sad than her was Liu Xiangru.

They have been together for more than thirty years, and the two of them have been together much longer than Zhou Mo.

Ever since Zhou Mo was born, the two of them have relied on each other. Liu Xiangru probably never thought that one day she would lose Zhou Zheng.

Liu Xiangru's illness came relatively late.

If she couldn't bear it, she would have been sick in bed and unable to get up during the days when Zhou Zheng died.

I wonder if it was post-traumatic stress disorder that delayed it.

That's why Liu Xiangru is sick now.

"I'll buy it," Zhou Mo said, "buy ice cream and put it in the refrigerator until you recover."

Liu Xiangru smiled: "Okay."

Zhou Mo: "What do you want to eat for lunch, rice or noodles?"

Liu Xiangru: "Noodles."
