Chapter 387: Chapter 387: I, Han Jingting, am the first to disagree!

Han Yaru was rebuffed to the point of speechlessness.

In the bank earlier, she had been infuriated by Han Jingting, but though she wanted to crush Han Jingting’s arrogance upon arrival and avenge the humiliation she suffered at the bank, she found herself utterly outmatched by Han Jingting.

Han Chengye sneered, "Han Jingting, look at you. It’s been less than a month since you left the Han Family, and you don’t even recognize me, the Han Family Patriarch, anymore!"

Han Jingting was unapologetic, "You used despicable means to drive me out of the Han Family and even removed me from the family registry. You’ve targeted me at every turn. Should I really be welcoming you with a smile, for a person like you?!

Han Chengye scoffed, "You should be very clear why you were driven out of the Han Family and removed from the family registry in the first place."

"If it wasn’t for your worthless husband deliberately scaring her, grandma wouldn’t have fallen seriously ill. You should blame him, not anyone else!"

Chen Xuan’s gaze was icy, "Han Chengye, you should know better than anyone exactly how grandma fell ill!"

"I see it’s clearly you who did something behind the scenes to make grandma sick, and now you have the audacity to accuse others!"

Han Chengye flushed with anger and frustration and stood up abruptly, "Chen Xuan, stop slandering me! If you say I harmed grandma, where is your evidence? Without evidence, don’t make false accusations here!"

Chen Xuan snorted coldly, "Evidence is easy to come by, just bring grandma out now, and I can cure her illness immediately."

"Then it will be crystal clear who is slandering whom!"

How could Han Chengye possibly give Chen Xuan such an opportunity, "Do you think we would believe your nonsense? I didn’t dare let her see you because I was afraid grandma would fall ill at the sight of you, just like last time."

Chen Xuan said, "It seems to me you’re just afraid your lies will be exposed by me."

"You..." Han Chengye was at a loss for words.

At this moment, Han Yaru hurriedly interjected, "Chen Xuan, you’re just a son-in-law who married into our Han Family. When the Family Head and Han Jingting are speaking, is it your place to interrupt!"

Han Jingting was anything but weak, speaking directly, "Chen Xuan and I are remarried. He might have been a son-in-law who married in before, but now, he is my husband, Han Jingting’s husband, and I, Han Jingting, am his lawfully wedded wife!"

"From now on, no one can call him a son-in-law who married in! I, Han Jingting, am the first to refuse!"

Chen Xuan turned his head to look at Han Jingting in surprise, moved beyond words.

To fight for his honor, she was willing to sacrifice her familial status and even oppose the entire Han Family!

At this moment, Chen Xuan felt that with a wife like this, what more could a husband ask for!

The Han Family members were in an uproar. For years, they’d used the title of son-in-law who married in to mock and humiliate Chen Xuan, and now Han Jingting was publicly supporting him and clearing his name!

If so, wouldn’t they lose all pretext to insult Chen Xuan in the future?

Han Yaru snorted coldly, "Han Jingting, your taste really couldn’t be any poorer. For such a good-for-nothing, you actually treat him like a treasure!"

"And even want to be his lawfully wedded wife? Do you think marrying a worthless man like that is something to be proud of? Hahaha..."

Han Chengye’s face was also full of mocking laughter, "Letting Chen Xuan marry into the Han Family was grandfather’s express decree. As long as Chen Xuan is a son-in-law who married into the Han Family, he will be for life! It’s not something you, Han Jingting, can decide with just a word!"

Han Jingting was just as indomitable, "You seem to have forgotten again. I’ve already been expelled from the Han Family genealogy and am no longer part of the Han Family. So, it seems you have no say in my affairs!"

"You..." Han Chengye was at a loss for words again.

Han Jingting couldn’t be bothered to argue further with Han Chengye, "I came today out of respect for grandma. Now that she’s not here, there’s nothing more to say to you. Goodbye!"

With that, Han Jingting turned and was about to leave.

At that moment, Han Chengye’s voice came from behind, "If you want to return to the family tree, I can give you an opportunity."

Upon hearing this, Han Jingting’s steps suddenly halted.

Despite the fact that Han Jingting no longer needed the position of President at Han Corporation, nor any help from the Han Family, the blood of the Han Family still flowed in her veins. She had been a member of the Han Family for nearly thirty years, and her father had been one for almost sixty years.

The inherent familial affection was naturally not so easily discarded.

Therefore, no matter how well Han Jingting had done for herself, she had always hoped that one day she would be able to return to the Han Family tree, along with her father.

This was probably the same principle that compels many people to wish to return to their roots before they die!

"What opportunity?" Han Jingting turned and asked.

A smile appeared on Han Chengye’s lips, "Quite simple, our Han Corporation is currently facing a liquidity crisis. If you can secure a loan for us from Governer Wang, I will permit you to return to the Han Family tree!"

Han Jingting gave a bitter smile, "Han Chengye, aren’t you the president of Han Corporation now? Why should I get a loan for you?"

Han Yaru interjected displeasedly, "It’s your fault to begin with! If it weren’t for you causing us to offend Governer Wang, how would it be possible for us not to secure a loan!"

"It’s because of you that our loan application was rejected. You should take responsibility for this!"

Han Jingting was speechless, it was clearly the two of them who were shortsighted, speaking ill of Wong Jian’an and getting heard, yet they were blaming her!

Han Chengye’s face was all smiles, "Jingting, setting aside these issues, you are after all a member of the Han Family, isn’t it only right that you contribute to Han Corporation? Surely you’re not going to just watch as Han Corporation falls into a financial crisis."

At these words, the rest of the Han Family members began to echo his sentiments.

"Exactly, Jingting, you are a member of the Han Family after all. When the family is in trouble, you should help out!"

"Han Jingting, as a person, you can’t forget where you came from!"

"Watching the family face trouble while doing nothing, how can your heart be so cruel!"

Person by person, they were pressuring Han Jingting relentlessly.

Han Jingting just found it laughable.

When she had been driven out of the Han Family by Han Chengye, none of them had stood up to speak a word for her; now that the Han Family was in trouble, they thought to ask for her help.

"Rest assured, as long as you help Han Corporation this time, I guarantee that you will be allowed back into the Han Family tree!"

Han Chengye looked at Han Jingting, confident in his own plans.

As Han Jingting was hesitating, Chen Xuan, who stood by, cut in directly, "Alright, I’ll make the promise on behalf of Jingting!"

Han Jingting showed a surprised expression at that.

Chen Xuan looked at her but revealed a smile.

Chen Xuan was well aware of Han Jingting’s thoughts. Being able to return to the Han Family tree had always been a worry for her, a constant hope.

However, Han Jingting had always taken the bigger picture into account, unwilling to let her personal affairs affect the grand scheme of Jiaren Corporation.

Therefore, this time, Chen Xuan made the decision for her.

Han Jingting had cleared Chen Xuan’s name, and now Chen Xuan intended to help Han Jingting regain the recognition she deserved within the family!
