Hearing the words, everyone looked towards the door. When they saw the newcomer, each one sucked in a breath of cold air. This was Miss Han Zhao Yanzhi, whose wisdom and beauty were second to none. Standing at 178 centimeters tall with a slender figure, her exquisite face, flawless skin as white as snow, and lotus-like long legs drew people's admiration.
Han Yanzi has arrived; today, that young guy is definitely doomed.
Mo Wenjie looked at Han Yanzi and said, "Oh! Although this little girl doesn't measure up to you, she can still be considered a top-notch beauty."
Han Yanzi approached Han Shichang and said, "Who dare strike your face today? I, your sister, will intervene. Let's see if anyone else in the border city dares to disturb the Han family."
Han Shichang pointed at Mo Wenjie and said, "Sister, it was him who hit me. You must stand up for me! Our Han family's reputation can't be tarnished. You were so bold just now, weren't you? Why aren't you acting tough anymore? Why don't you hit me again?"
Mo Wenjie looked at Han Shichang and said, "Such excessive demands are the first time I've encountered. But I have no other choice. I can only reluctantly agree with you. After saying that, he gave Han Shichang another slap on the face." "Han, I'm doing as you asked. Are you satisfied?"
Han Shichang was enraged. "You just slapped me, and now that my sister is here, you still slap me. Are you taking my Han family for granted? I want you to die today!"
Mo Wenjie spread his hands and said, "That's too unreasonable of you. It was you who begged me to hit you, and now you want to kill me. Is that what the Han family is like, people who break their promises and are dishonest? I really didn't expect that the top noble family in the border city, the Han family, would be no better than this. Today, I've learned a lesson."
Han Yanzi looked at Mo Wenjie and said, "So you mean that you hit my brother, and we, the Han family, should be grateful to you and treat you like a guest?"
Mo Wenjie looked at Han Yanzi as well and said, "Treating me as a guest is a bit too serious. What I did was insignificant, so there's no need for such formality."
Han Shichang's face was extremely ugly. "You're challenging us, Mo Wenjie. The dignity of the Han family is not to be trifled with. The Han family in the border city has no one who dares to provoke us, and you are the first and last one. If I don't cut you into a thousand pieces today, I can't ease my heartache. Speak up, how do you want to die?"
Mo Wenjie waved his hand and said, "Don't be so harsh, Han Xiao Jie. Suppose I were your sister-in-law! Would that make it disrespectful for me to act like this? That would be going against your family!"
Han Yanzi, upon hearing this, was so angry that her face turned red and she fumed, "How dare you, Mo Wenjie? You dare to disrespect me, a lady. Are you not satisfied with your life?"
Mo Wenjie smiled and shook his head. "Miss Han, your brother can insult my girlfriend, and I have to endure it, right? But I can't? Just because you are a member of the prestigious Han family, the top noble family in the border city, you can do as you please and oppress the weak? This is what the might of the Han family is about?"
Upon hearing Mo Wenjie's words, the Han siblings were left stunned, unsure of how to react.
If we punish him, this incident will be seen as the Han family bullying others. We should let it go, as the Han family being beaten would be a dishonor to our reputation.
Han Shichang's face was so angry it seemed like water could be squeezed out of it. It was imaginable how much he hated Mo Wenjie. No matter how eloquent your words are or how skillful your tongue, it's impossible for me to let you off today.
Qing Xia enjoyed the scene and didn't think it was too much trouble. "You're mistaken, Your Highness. You've coveted my beauty and have inappropriate thoughts about me. Not only can't your boyfriend resist, but he has to yield me to you, is that correct?" "If your boyfriend likes my sister, shouldn't you also yield to him?"
Upon hearing this, Han Shichang's anger blazed. In the border city, the Han family is supreme, and no one can live comfortably if they upset us. Today, even if you manage to convince me to cancel the rain, I will not spare you.
Mo Wenjie smiled as he looked at Han Yanzi, "Miss Han, are you thinking the same?"
Han Yanzi didn't know what to say for a while. She didn't like her brother's actions, but after all, he was still her blood brother. If no one could give him a proper explanation after being beaten, she might not be able to say anything.
Mo Wenjie had finished his meal. He stood up and said, "I hope today's incident is just let go. If it really escalates, as a nameless person, I will make the Han family's reputation suffer, even if it means going down in flames."
How could Han Shichang let him go? Sister, why haven't you told them to act yet? Are you going to let him off the hook? Don't we care about our family's dignity?
Han Yanzi looked at Mo Wenjie and said, "Today's incident was indeed my brother's fault. But you shouldn't have beaten him three times. I'm not unreasonable either. If you apologize to him and let this go, how does that sound?"
Han Shichang, before Mo Wenjie could respond, he vehemently refused, "Sister, I won't accept an apology. He must pay a terrible price today. I can't forgive him unless he suffers severely. Do you still consider me your sister? He's beaten me to this extent, and you want to let him off the hook? Who will give us face in the border city if we continue this way? If you refuse to step in and support me, I'll ask our father to send people over."
Han Yanzi looked at Han Shichang and said, "Do you really want to escalate this? First of all, it was you who wanted to take someone else's girlfriend. Secondly, the Junyue Hotel is under my management. If we act too harshly, people might not dare to say anything aloud, but it will spread that a guest was bullied at our hotel. Don't you think that after this, there will be fewer people coming to stay at the Junyue Hotel? Are you willing to see the family's interests suffer?"
Upon hearing this, Han Shichang's anger surged again. "Our Han family has so many businesses, and the Junyue Hotel is just one of them. Being beaten is not something a hotel can be compared with. I am the only heir of the Han family. In essence, all these things are mine. Giving up one hotel is nothing. If you don't help me, I'll ask our father to take back the management of the hotel and have you wait at home and get married with the Tandy family!"
Han Yanzi was so angry that her anger flared up, "You dare ask our father to take back the management of the hotel? Wait and see how I deal with you!"
Han Shichang glared at her with a ferocious expression, "I've already told our father. You're not going to help me when someone bullies me, so he's sent my uncle to bring people over. By then, you'll have to hand over the management of the hotel."
Upon hearing this, Han Yanzi was so angry that she shook with anger all over her body. "You truly have no limits. Our Han family will be ruined by you one day, with your father constantly indulging you."
Han Shichang didn't even care about her and said, "I don't care what happens. I am the eldest son and grandson of our Han family, the leader of our clan. You are merely a tool to bring benefits to our family. Whoever can bring greater benefits to the family must marry you. You don't understand that, and you don't know who is the true leader. Since you want to ruin the hotel's interests and not help me vent my anger, I'll take everything away from you."
Those who were eating were puzzled, thinking it had become an internal struggle. It was supposed to be about resolving the issue with this young man, but somehow it ended up being about family alliances. Alas, such a beautiful Han Yanzi might end up with some unruly young man!
We don't have the family strength, so although we've long admired Han Yanzi, we can only secretly pine for her. It's a matter of fate. Who knows if we were born into the wrong family.
Suddenly, a series of footsteps can be heard at the door.
Han Shichang saw the person coming and his face lit up with joy.
Han Yanzi saw the person coming and her face turned pale.
'Who dared to beat my nephew?' Han Anding asked.
Han Shichang pointed at Mo Wenjie and said, "It was him who beat me repeatedly. Sister Yanzi wouldn't avenge me for the sake of the hotel's interests. Uncle, you mustn't let him off the hook. He needs to know that no one can provoke our Han family."
Han Anting looked at Mo Wenjie and said, "You brat, you hit my nephew. What kind of audacity do you have to beat a member of our Han family in the border city? Do you know what the word 'death' looks like? Come on, give me a beating and throw him out of the hotel. From now on, no one in our Han family's businesses in the border city is allowed to set foot on it. If he ever shows up again, I want him to be crippled for life, spending the rest of his days in a wheelchair."
A man stepped out from behind Han Anting, a grandmaster martial artist. He approached Mo Wenjie and said, "You've offended someone you shouldn't today. Today, I will break your limbs as punishment for your actions. In the future, always use your brain when you go out and don't offend anyone. Don't forget it." As he spoke, he kicked towards Mo Wenjie.
Stop! Han Yanzi suddenly spoke to stop them.
Han Anting looked at Han Yanzi and asked, "Do you want to defy the family's orders? What's your relationship with him, and why are you protecting someone who beat your brother?"
Han Yanzi explained, "He is a guest of our Junyue Hotel. As the general manager of the hotel, isn't it my duty to protect the interests of our guests? Can I be considered wrong for doing this? Moreover, it was Han Shichang who tried to take someone else's girlfriend first. If we continue like this, who would dare to stay at our hotel in the future? Don't you also care about the interests of our family?"
Han Shichang pointed at Han Yanzi and shouted, "Do you really want to be against me? Have you fallen for this handsome boy? I tell you, he already has a girlfriend. Even if he didn't, you couldn't be with him. You're supposed to marry into the Tan family. The Tan family has agreed that if you marry Tan Weijiang, they will invest ten billion yuan into the Han family. So just shut up and marry into the Tan family and give up the management of the hotel."
Upon hearing this, Han Yanzi's face turned ashen. She shouted furiously, "How could I marry that wastrel Tan Weijiang? There's no way. In the border city, who doesn't know how much he's bullied and oppressed people? Even if I were to die, I wouldn't agree to it."
Han Anting, upon hearing this, scolded, "This is a family arrangement for Han Yanzi. Do you want to go against the family's orders? You let your brother get beaten without stepping in, and you've already crossed the Han family's bottom line. Ignoring our family's dignity and causing embarrassment for us is unacceptable. Do you want to go against the family alliance as well? You really are bold."
Han Yanzi argued fiercely, "It was Han Shichang's fault for taking someone else's girlfriend. I'm defending the legitimate rights and interests of a hotel guest. What's wrong with that? Besides, what does this have to do with my marriage?"
Han Anting coldly huffed, "Do you not know that Shichang is our Han family's only son? All our businesses belong to him, including your marriage. That's the reality and your fate. Don't even mention that you are his sister. Even if it were your aunt and my two daughters, we must accept the family's arranged marriages. Today, you shouldn't interfere with this matter. You still hold the position of hotel general manager, but if you persist in protecting him, then give up the management of the hotel!"
Tears rolled down Han Yanzi's eyes, "Why can't I decide my own marriage? What right do you have to trade our lifelong happiness for his capital of being a spoiled brat?"
Han Anting barked, "Because you bear the surname Han!"
