In the past, Old Madam Han used to hold back because her eldest son used to protect Meng Yunhan, but now—hehe, now she could deal with that woman as she wanted. Did she think that she was still the pampered daughter-in-law of the Han family?

Old Madam Han glanced at her second son, who seemed to be a bit troubled. She flicked his forehead with her fingers and said to him, "Don’t think too much. Just remember this: your eldest brother is not capable of controlling your sister-in-law. Since he cannot control her, naturally, I will have to step in and take care of this matter."

Old Madam Han was not a cruel mother-in-law, but she seemed to have understood one thing. If she did not take control of Meng Yunhan, that woman would certainly raise the entire first branch of the Han family on her head. If Han Yichen were capable of dealing with Meng Yunhan, then Old Madam Han would have never interfered with the matters between the husband and wife, but it was clear that Han Yichen was not capable of controlling that woman.

Since that was the case, she could only take control of their matters.

"I know, mother, but I am just worried." Second Uncle Han sighed. "The eldest sister-in-law is not the kind of woman who would accept our interference. I am afraid that if you intervene too much, then the eldest sister-in-law will make a fuss."

"Let her make a fuss if she wants to," sneered Old Madam Han. "If she dares to cause trouble, then I will teach her a good lesson." Old Madam Han was not willing to take these matters into her hands because she, too, felt that she was too old to deal with such things, but who told her eldest son to be so useless? That woman married her eldest granddaughter off to a useless man. Though Han Yichen did not arrange the marriage, one had to admit that it was his fault as well.

Even though his thinking was old-fashioned, he should have at least asked about the family around a little instead of listening to his wife blindly. If Han Yichen had asked around, then certainly he would have found out the problems related to that family, but he did not do it. He listened to whatever his wife told him, causing Han Xuehan’s life to be ruined.

In this matter, Han Yichen was just as responsible as Meng Yunhan. It was all because he was too weak to resist his wife’s pillow talk.

Second Uncle Han saw that his mother was determined to teach his eldest sister-in-law a lesson and did not say anything. In his heart, he knew that it was all because his eldest brother was not strong enough. If only he could control his wife, then their mother wouldn’t need to step in.

"Alright, Mom. You can deal with this matter as you like, but if the eldest sister-in-law makes trouble with you, then you should leave their family matters alone." Second Uncle Han did not want his mother to be called all sorts of vicious names. Meng Yunhan might not be skilled when it came to household chores, but when it came to manipulating others.

What if that woman made things difficult for his mother?

"I know." Old Madam Han’s eyes softened when she looked at her second son. She knew that her son was only worried about her and did not want anyone to talk behind her back. She reached out and patted him on the back. "I will take care of myself. If I think it’s getting too much, then I will definitely back off."

Only then did Second Uncle Han sigh in relief.

If Han Ruochen knew that her grandmother was worried about her mother’s lack of concern toward their family, then she would have told her that there was no point in trying to teach that woman. Meng Yunhan was a woman who firmly believed that she was the one who was wronged. In her eyes, she was the victim. With her heart already filled with hatred, there was no point in even trying to talk sense with that woman.

However, Han Ruochen was busy with her own troubles at that moment. Just as Zhai Heng told her, she arrived at the restaurant where the meeting was arranged after an hour. However, even after waiting for ten minutes, she did not see Zhai Heng. Seeing this, she could not help but frown in worry. Yesterday, Zhai Heng had told her that this meeting was really important for him and that he would arrive an hour before. But the man couldn’t be seen even after waiting for so long?

She could not help but ask the waiter, "Has Second Master Zhai arrived?"

"Not yet." The waiter knew that Han Ruochen was Zhai Heng’s friend, as Zhai Heng had booked a private room for her. Thus, he was quite respectful to her. He did not show any signs of impatience and was quite polite to her. When he saw that she was looking worried, he added, "Maybe Second Master Zhai is caught up in traffic?"

Han Ruochen raised her head and looked at the clock hanging on the wall. There was still half an hour left before the meeting. There was still some time.

She nodded and agreed, hoping that Zhai Heng would arrive soon. But even after waiting for a long time, she did not see Zhai Heng. There were only twenty minutes left for the meeting, and if this went on, then there was a good chance that Zhai Heng would miss the meeting. If she had known that this would happen, then she would have gone to the Zhai family before coming here.

In the end, when there were only fifteen minutes left, she had no other choice but to go to the reception area. "Hello, Second Master Zhai is not here. His meeting is going to be held in the next fifteen minutes; if you don’t mind, then can you send someone to bring him here?" If possible, Han Ruochen wanted to go to Zhai Mansion herself, but what if she left and Zhai Heng arrived here? He would waste his time looking for her. After all, he was reckless like that.

"Second Master Zhai is not here?" The manager was alarmed. The Zhai family was his biggest patron, and he knew that this meeting was indeed quite important for him. If Zhai Heng didn’t arrive on time, then there was a good chance that this meeting would fall through, and the clients would be offended. "Then I will send someone to go and look at the Zhai mansion." He paused and then added, "No, I will go and take a look myself." This meeting was really important. He heard from others that it was almost five million yuan worth, and it was Zhai Heng’s first project.

The second master was the biggest sponsor of their restaurant. There was no way he could sit tightly and do nothing.

"Then I will trouble you, Manager Shen." Han Ruochen nodded as she returned to the private room. However, it was as if she were sitting on pins and needles; she could not sit still at all. She looked left and right, looking all worried as she waited for Zhai Heng.

Ten minutes.

Five minutes.

Three minutes.

Two minutes.

Han Ruochen gritted her teeth when she saw there was not enough time left, her eyes staring at the corridor where the waiters were offering tea and snacks to the clients, who had already arrived. This was bad. Zhai Heng was nowhere to be found, and the clients were already here. If this went on, then this meeting would be done for; after all, Zhai Heng would definitely leave a bad impression on them. Just as she was worrying about what to do, she saw Zhai Heng rushing in.

He looked quite troubled with his fingers working to tuck in his shirt, but he was at least here.

Han Ruochen sighed in relief. Maybe her gaze was too fervent because the man raised his head and looked at her; he shot her a grateful glance and then hurried over to the private room. Seeing him enter the room with the clients, Han Ruochen finally heaved a sigh of relief; at least they somehow managed to stop this meeting from getting ruined.

Han Ruochen waited for two hours before she could see Zhai Heng.

"Ah Heng!" She ran in the direction of the man; when she saw the ghastly expression on his face, she knew that there was something amiss. His clothes were neatly tucked, but she could see that they had been ironed in a hurry. "What happened? Why did you arrive so late?"

It was such a close shave; if he had been another minute late, the waiters could not have dealt with the clients anymore. He was lucky that he arrived just in time!
