Chapter 163 Confrontation
For so many years, she kept it very well hidden and never told anyone that she had a son.
The purpose was to catch Xu Ailin and her two children off guard when they were fighting for the Han family's assets.
Xu Ailin, that bitch, was she just pretending in front of me?
When exactly did she find out about this, and how much did she know?
Du Yan was completely flustered by the other party's mention of "son" and didn't know what to do.
He instinctively looked to Hanwen for help.
Xu Ailin discovered that Du Yan had a son by accident. At the time, she thought that Du Yan was hiding the fact that she had a son because of the bad reputation of having a child out of wedlock.
Now that she's discovered there's something going on between Du Yan and Lao Han, Xu Ailin can't help but think more deeply.
She felt she might have stumbled upon the truth: that son was most likely Old Han's.
Xu Ailin's alarm went off.
The Han family's business was saved by Xu Shi.
No one is allowed to touch her except her two children.
Even Han Wen himself cannot do it.
If in the end her child can't get the Han family's property, she'd rather destroy the Han family than let someone else get it.
Having figured everything out, Xu Ailin then spoke to Han Wen.
"You say I'm slandering you, then do you dare to prove your innocence here?"
"I swear on the foundation your Han family has built up over three generations, you haven't betrayed me, you haven't betrayed our son and daughter, or I'll make your Han family's business go bankrupt immediately!"
"Xu Ailin, you've gone too far!" Han Wen shouted angrily.
Xu Ailin could tell from her expression that the other party was feeling guilty and was just bluffing.
She knew that Han Wen valued the Han family's business more than anything else.
To persuade her to marry him, he made a promise that all her children would take her surname, Xu.
She used to naively believe that this was a sign of Han Wen's love for her.
Now it seems that the other person may never have loved her.
The reason he went to so much trouble to pursue her and propose marriage was because of the investment from the Xu family.
When the Han family's cash flow dried up, if it weren't for her determination to marry Han Wen, and her parents' concern that she would suffer, they would have injected a large amount of capital into the Han family business.
They single-handedly revived a company on the verge of bankruptcy, and now the Han family is nowhere to be found.
It's pitiful that she devoted herself to the wrong person, and it took her so many years to finally realize it.
However, being married for so many years wasn't for nothing.
She knows him better than Han Wen himself.
She knew that Han Wen, besides valuing the Han family business, was also extremely superstitious.
If someone had a guilty conscience, they would never swear an oath using the Han family name.
Since that's the case, she should take this opportunity to push the other party further and tear off their hypocritical mask.
"I just want peace of mind, can't you even grant me that? Or are you really having an affair with her?!"
Xu Ailin looked heartbroken and sad, but when she pointed at Du Yan's arm, it was outstretched straight.
Now that things have come to this, no one here is stupid. After all this commotion, everyone can see that there's probably more to Han Wen and Du Yan than meets the eye.
Elderly people who knew about the past between the Xu and Han families shook their heads repeatedly at Han Wen, feeling that he was ungrateful.
After all, even if the couple had lost their feelings for each other, given the Xu family's strong support back then, Han Wen shouldn't have done such a thing if he had any conscience.
He even allowed the mistress to provoke the wife.
Young onlookers are not satisfied with the status quo and insist on understanding the whole story.
They all inquired with their elders about the events of the Xu and Han families back then. After learning the truth, they all looked down on Han Wen with contempt and disdain.
Elders are usually mindful of saving face, but the younger generation doesn't care about saving face at all. Their undisguised attitude made Han Wen want to curse.
Han Wen is now in a precarious position, and no matter how she answers, it won't work.
First of all, he would never swear on the foundation of his Han family, but if he were to admit that there was something between him and Du Yan, in front of so many people...
Wouldn't that be tantamount to admitting that he's a scoundrel who forgets his principles for the sake of women?
Where will he put his pride? Who will do business with someone as ungrateful as him in the future?
Seeing the hesitation on Han Wen's face, Xu Ailin sneered and said contemptuously.
"You're still weighing the pros and cons, you have no backbone or responsibility as a man, Hanwen, I really despise you!"
"If you can't even be responsible for your actions, are you even a man?"
Immediately afterwards, Xu Ailin turned her gun around and stomped hard on Du Yan's sore spot.
"I really pity you. You've been with such an irresponsible man, and now you're being dragged into continuing to follow him without any status or recognition."
“Sons will be called illegitimate children and daughters will be called illegitimate daughters. They will never be able to see the light of day for the rest of their lives.”
"If he were even a little tougher and acknowledged your relationship with him, I, Xu Ailin, would never bother him. I would immediately set him free and would never stop you two from being a loving couple!"
Han Fei's eyes turned bloodshot and swollen from the repeated insults of "no backbone" and "not a man."
He had never been treated like this by Xu Ailin before.
She always spoke softly and gently to him, but never before had she looked at him with such disgust, as if he were trash.
Han Fei's fists clenched so tightly they cracked, clearly provoked.
Yuan Yangyang was worried that he would lose his mind and rush up to start a fight.
Du Yan looked at Han Fei, but no matter how she tried to signal him, he was blind.
Du Yan was extremely anxious.
Xu Ailin had revealed to her what she secretly wanted to do most.
That is to make her relationship with Han Fei public.
Whether it's infamy or criticism, it's all temporary.
Xu Ailin said that she would let go as long as they acknowledged their relationship.
Once the words were spoken, in front of so many people, it was too late for her to take them back.
Once the two divorce, Du Yan will no longer be a third party and can become Han Fei's legitimate and legally recognized wife.
At that time, her children will be able to stand openly by her side and inherit the Han family business.
She will no longer be pointed at and gossiped about.
History is written by the victors.
Even if she has a temporary stain on her reputation, as long as she sits in the position next to Han Fei, all the current stigma will be wiped clean.
After figuring all this out, Du Yan rushed out in front of all the guests.
He shouted loudly, "Xu Ailin, don't force President Han! You want to know about our relationship, right? I'll grant your wish!"
"Du Yan, shut up!" Han Fei quickly stopped her, his expression changing drastically.
"President Han, for you, I have endured humiliation and hardship for so many years, and I am willing to bear children for you."
"But I just can't stand seeing Xu Ailin pressuring you like this."
"The Han family is the empire you built with your hard work, how can she force you to make an oath!"
"Xu Ailin, the one who isn't loved is the mistress. I've been by President Han's side all these years. You sickly woman, what right do you have to criticize us!"
