Han Xu had always believed that Mr. Wan was the main culprit. After graduating from college, he began preparing to carry out his revenge plan.
He wanted to take revenge on the Wan family for his sister.
In his mind, it was Mr. Wan who had killed her.
He wanted to ruin the Wan family's reputation and take away everything they owned.
He never expected that his sister's tragic life was all because of him.
Pulling himself out of Han Yu's painful memories and returning to reality, Han Xu fell to his knees, his legs giving way.
Tears streamed down his gentle and refined face.
He trembled violently, like a wounded beast that had suffered a massive blow.
He clutched his hair tightly with both hands, his fingernails scratching bloody marks into his scalp.
"I misunderstood Mr. Wan. I deserve to die ten thousand times over..." Han Xu looked up at the Wan sisters who were holding each other tightly. His gaze fell on Wan Zixuan, his voice dark and hoarse. "Xuanxuan, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have let hatred blind me, hurting you and hurting your sister..."
Wan Zixuan closed her eyes. After learning that Han Xu had imprisoned her sister for three long years, she no longer had any feelings for him.
Even if he was filled with remorse, it could not stir any ripples in her heart.
Seeing Wan Zixuan turn her head away with cold eyes, Han Xu felt a suffocating pain in his chest.
"I will return all the properties to you."
Let it also be a kind of atonement to Mr. Wan!
"Han Xu, you studied law. I hope that in the future, you can use your profession to help more people in need, rather than using it as a weapon and a tool to seek your own selfish desires. I hope you can stick to the original intention of a law student!"
Wan Zixuan supported Wan Zirui as they walked up to Wen Yan, and the two sisters both knelt down before her.
"Miss Wen, thank you."
Wen Yan and Si Moyan hurriedly helped the sisters up.
"I also hope you can pull yourselves together as soon as possible."
Wan Zixuan nodded. "We will. From now on, Miss Wen is the benefactor of our sisters. In Hong Kong, as long as it is something we can help with, we will definitely do our best to help you."
A smile appeared on Wen Yan's lips. "You're welcome."
After the sisters left, Wen Yan, Si Moyan, and Old Master Si also prepared to leave.
Han Xu knelt down in a wretched state and begged Wen Yan, "Miss Wen, I want to see my sister. Can you summon her soul one more time?"
"Your parents broke her heart. Even if I summon her, she still won't want to see you."
Han Xu covered his face with his hands, tears streaming down. "It's us who let my sister down..."
"What's the use of your remorse here? Your parents don't think they did anything wrong at all."
The pain inflicted by one's family of origin can cause a lifetime of harm.
The ideology of favoring sons over daughters should be despised.
What is the fault of girls born into such patriarchal families? They are born as blank slates, instilled with wrong instructions as they grow up, and domesticated step by step. Isn't this just oppression and bullying disguised as blood ties?
The most trusted relatives are the ones who trample on and hurt her the deepest.
Such pain takes a lifetime to heal.
For someone like Han Yu, she couldn't heal even in death!
Wen Yan's words hit Han Xu over the head like a heavy club.
He suddenly understood something.
...
Han Xu bought a villa in Hong Kong worth hundreds of millions.
With their son's meteoric rise, Father Han and Mother Han also felt that they had become superior to others.
To show off, Father Han and Mother Han brought all their relatives from their hometown over to visit the new villa Han Xu had bought.
The magnificent gate and the elegant and exquisite gardens all demonstrated nobility and status.
Standing in front of the marble steps, the relatives kept praising Han Xu, envying Father Han and Mother Han for raising such an excellent son.
No one ever mentioned Han Yu, as if she had never existed.
Father Han stepped forward and used the fingerprint lock to open the door.
However, it prompted that the fingerprint input was incorrect.
Mother Han tried her own fingerprint, but it was also incorrect.
"Isn't this the villa your son bought? Why won't the door open?" a relative questioned.
Everyone had traveled a long, dusty journey for a whole day to get to Hong Kong and were exhausted, desperately wanting to go inside and rest.
Father Han's face looked a bit ugly. He explained, "Maybe little Xu changed the fingerprint lock. I'll call him right now."
Father Han dialed Han Xu's number, but it indicated that no one was answering.
"What's going on? Little Xu isn't answering my call," Father Han whispered to Mother Han.
Mother Han also immediately called Han Xu, but similarly, no one answered.
The relatives were getting impatient. "You aren't just bragging, are you? Although little Xu is a lawyer, it's impossible for him to afford a villa worth hundreds of millions, right?"
"Calling us all the way here without even a place to stay, how immoral."
Father Han couldn't save face. He made several more calls to Han Xu, but still, no one answered.
"Old man, let's take the relatives to a hotel first. Didn't little Xu give you a credit card? Let the relatives stay in a five-star hotel, and we'll bring them back tomorrow," Mother Han suggested.
Father Han nodded.
The group then headed to a hotel.
When Father Han tried to pay for the rooms, he was notified that the card was frozen.
Father Han and Mother Han were dumbfounded.
With no other choice, the group had to return to the villa.
But when they reached the community gate, they were stopped by the security guards.
Father Han was furious. "Open your dog eyes and look carefully! My son is the owner of a detached villa inside, and I am his father!"
The security guards naturally recognized Father Han and Mother Han. The two usually acted like nouveau riche and looked down on working-class people like them.
"The real estate agent just came over. Lawyer Han's villa has been listed for sale. He is no longer the owner here!"
Father Han and Mother Han felt as if they had been struck by lightning!
How is that possible?
Their son was a big boss now, extremely wealthy.
He definitely wouldn't care about a villa worth a hundred million!
Before Father Han and Mother Han could recover from the shock, a few staff members in bank uniforms walked over. "You are Han Xu's parents, right? He owes our bank a billion, and now he's bankrupt. We can't find him—"
Before the staff could finish their sentence, Father Han and Mother Han were scared away and ran off.
A billion! Even if they sold themselves, they wouldn't be able to earn that back!
Father Han and Mother Han fled back to the countryside overnight. The couple didn't dare show their faces, afraid of both debt collectors and the ridicule of their relatives and neighbors.
But you can run, but you can't hide.
The loan sharks that Father Han owed money to tracked them down. Since Father Han couldn't produce the money, the creditors had someone break his legs.
Mother Han was terrified. She cried out to the heavens and the earth, but no one answered, and she still couldn't get through to Han Xu's phone.
When Mother Han took Father Han to the hospital, the neighbor's daughter returned driving a luxury car.
The village chief and his entourage welcomed her at the village entrance.
More than ten years ago, when the neighbor's daughter got into a prestigious university, Mother Han had mocked them for not being able to have a son, saying that paying for a daughter's college education was like raising a child for another family.
But now, the neighbor's daughter had become a company executive. She made money, built roads for her hometown, installed streetlights, and made many contributions.
The neighbor's family also became the most popular in the village.
Mother Han couldn't help but think of her own daughter, Han Yu. Back then, just like the neighbor's daughter, she had also been admitted to a key university.
It was she who had torn up her daughter's admission letter, forcing her to enter society prematurely to make money.
If she hadn't favored her son over her daughter and had let Han Yu go to college, would she have been as successful as the neighbor's daughter?
When Mother Han took Father Han to the hospital, they saw a familiar figure.
However, upon seeing the person's appearance, the couple froze in sheer shock.
Mother Han stared intently at Han Xu's bare head, her eyes widening. "Xu, where is your hair?"
Han Xu, who had already shaved his head and become a monk, chanted Amitabha. "Benefactors, my dharma name is Liaochen. Liaochen is grateful to you two benefactors for raising me. May you respect yourselves, know yourselves, and control yourselves in the future."
Leaving behind a childhood photo of their family of four, Han Xu turned and walked away.
Father Han's eyes turned red with fury. "Han Xu, you unfilial son! Who told you to become a monk? The Han family's bloodline..."
Mother Han slumped to the ground. Looking at the family portrait Han Xu had left behind, tears instantly streamed down her face.
They were wrong. It was all their fault!
They never should have used the money earned from their daughter selling herself to raise Han Xu.
He must have found out the whole truth.
So, he shaved his head and became a monk to atone for their sins!
Leaving them without an heir from now on was their greatest retribution!
Mother Han sat on the ground, wailing to the heavens, filled with endless remorse.
...
After finishing the drama regarding the Wan family, Wen Yan's Favorability Points rose to 20, and her Merit Points reached 100, unlocking the Level 1 Mall.
[What the hell? There are actually cheese-flavored condoms? Ugh, I wouldn't take them even if they were free!]
Wen Yan skipped right past it. When she saw one of the other items, a look of pleasant surprise filled her eyes.
With this thing, she would be able to—
