Chapter 295: Chapter 295: Truly a Mother’s Good Daughter

The next morning, Chen Xuan drove Han Jingting to the old Han Family residence.

As they arrived at the doorstep, they happened to encounter Ding Lijuan and Han Bowwen who were also hurrying over.

Upon seeing Han Jingting with Chen Xuan, Ding Lijuan became furious.

"Jingting, do you have no pride left, mingling again with this good-for-nothing! Haven’t you shamed us enough over the years?"

Feeling helpless, Han Jingting retorted, "Chen Xuan is my husband; what’s shameful about being with him?"

"Besides, I’ve already been reduced to being kicked out of my own home by my mother—is there anything more humiliating than that in this world?"

"You..." Ding Lijuan was so angry she couldn’t even speak, and coldly snorted, "Fine, you left to live elsewhere and grew tough wings, huh? Now you even dare talk back to me!"

"Xiao Liang wouldn’t dare upset me like this! Xiao Liang knows how to behave."

Han Jingting felt a tightness in her chest from anger.

It was because Ding Liang had instigated on the side that she and Xiaoyu were forced to flee from their home, and to think that Ding Liang was still considered better than her, his own daughter!

In her mother’s eyes, she couldn’t even compare to an outsider.

Feeling like such a disappointment as a daughter, Han Jingting thought she was truly a failure!

Chen Xuan said with a smile, "Jingting is straightforward by nature, indeed, she might not be able to win your favor."

"But there are those who speak sweetly, yet harbor malice in their hearts. Such people are truly the most dangerous!"

Han Bowwen had not had a good impression of Chen Xuan before, but hearing these words, he found himself in complete agreement.

Over these days, he had experienced deeply the duplicitous nature of Ding Liang.

At this moment, Han Bowwen began to feel some regret from the bottom of his heart.

Chen Xuan may not have had exceptional abilities, but at least he never caused trouble for them and would take on all the dirty and tiring work himself.

But what about Ding Liang?

Now that he thought about it, aside from being eloquent and pleasing people, it seemed Ding Liang had done nothing else!

Han Bowwen truly regretted it—if only he hadn’t driven Chen Xuan and Han Jingting out of their house, they wouldn’t have ended up in such a dismal state.

But Ding Lijuan didn’t see it that way.

The moment she heard Chen Xuan speaking ill of Ding Liang, Ding Lijuan was instantly unhappy.

"What are you implying? You’re just a son-in-law who married into the family; how dare you criticize Xiao Liang!"

"Let me tell you, no matter what, Xiao Liang is better than you two combined!"

"All you do is upset me!"

"Having a daughter and son-in-law like you, I must have accrued eight lifetimes of bad luck!"

Ding Lijuan complained non-stop, taking Han Jingting down with her, without the slightest regard for her daughter’s feelings.

Han Jingting was deeply hurt.

Did having her as a daughter truly mean incurring eight lifetimes of bad luck?

Was she really that terrible?

Chen Xuan, however, was not at all upset and said with implicit meaning, "Since Ding Liang is so wonderful, surely with him taking care of you, you and dad must be living very happily? If that’s the case, Jingting and I can rest assured!"

With those words, Chen Xuan had touched on a sore point.

No one else knew, but Ding Lijuan and Han Bowwen were acutely aware of the kind of days they’ve been having recently.

It was a life even a beggar wouldn’t envy!

Chen Xuan’s words were like rubbing salt in their wounds.

Ding Lijuan became furiously ashamed and shouted, "Rest assured? You are my daughter and son-in-law, and you should be the ones performing your filial duties, yet all that has been left to Xiao Liang."

"Here you stand, talking without a care in the world—do you have no shame at all?"

Han Jingting was so angry she felt like spitting blood.

Does she not want to fulfill her filial duties?

She was forced to flee from home; how could she fulfill her filial duties!

Han Bowwen, unable to bear the sight, said to Ding Lijuan, "Can you say less? This is the old mansion; do you really want the whole Han Family to hear this!"

But Ding Lijuan looked like someone who wouldn’t mind escalating things, "I will say it! Why shouldn’t I?"

"I want everyone to hear and see how my daughter and son-in-law treat me!"

Ding Lijuan started to yell loudly like a shrew.

Han Jingting felt utterly cornered with no way out, while Chen Xuan remained calm amidst the tumult.

Chen Xuan said meaningfully, "I heard that Grandmother is going to announce a major decision today, which seems to be related to the determination of the next Family Head!"

"Mom, who do you guess will be chosen as the future Family Head?"

Ding Lijuan instantly calmed down.

She wasn’t foolish, but seeing the look of determination on Chen Xuan’s face, she could guess the general idea.

"Are you saying the old lady is preparing to pass the position of Family Head to Jingting?!" Ding Lijuan’s eyes shone.

Chen Xuan snorted and said indifferently, "That doesn’t seem to have anything to do with you, does it? After all, in your eyes, Jingting is just an unfilial daughter."

Ding Lijuan hurriedly changed her tune, "When did I say she was unfilial! I was motivating her, do you understand!"

With that, Ding Lijuan excitedly grabbed Han Jingting’s hand.

"Jingting, I knew you could do it!"

"To think you’re really going to take charge of the Han Family, truly living up to being my good daughter!"

Ding Lijuan’s face was filled with smiles, a stark contrast to her demeanor just moments ago.

Han Jingting couldn’t have felt more helpless.

So whether she was a good daughter or not depended on her capabilities and whether she could become the Han Family Patriarch?

Han Jingting had always known her mother was mercenary, but she never imagined she would be so mercenary to this extent, even towards her own daughter!

"Alright, if there’s nothing else, I’ll be going in first."

Having said that, Han Jingting led Chen Xuan directly inside.

"Jingting, wait for me, Mom will go in with you!"

Ding Lijuan also chased after them with a beaming face.

Behind them, Han Bowwen had a look of helplessness.

He was completely speechless towards this woman.

Han Jingting and the others arrived in the courtyard, just about to head towards the main hall, but were stopped by someone.

Han Jingting frowned, "What are you doing?"

The guard’s face was ashen, "I’m sorry, we have orders not to let you enter the main hall. You can only listen in from the courtyard!"

"What? Listen in?" Han Jingting was stunned.

Ding Lijuan immediately became unhappy, slapping the man across the face, "Are you blind? My daughter is going to be the next Han Family Patriarch, and you dare let her listen in from the courtyard? It seems you no longer wish to keep your job!"

"Come on, tell me, who was so blind as to give that order? Have him come out and face me!"

Ding Lijuan, relying on the fact that Han Jingting was about to become Family Head, was acting extremely arrogantly, with no regard for anyone else.

At that moment, a voice suddenly rang out.

"These are orders from Grandmother herself; do you have a problem with that?"

Han Chengye walked out with his hands behind his back, laughing coldly.

Ding Lijuan, upon hearing that it was the old lady’s orders, immediately lost her nerve.

Han Jingting, however, looked skeptical, "Grandmother informed us to come here for the meeting; why would she not let us enter? You’re clearly lying!"
