Chapter 1273: This Knife Is Stabbed Too Viciously

“Because, as long as they offend any one member of the Han Family, it means they’ve offended the whole of the Han Family. Hence, no outsider would dare to offend any person in this family.” Old Mrs. Han scoffed at Han Dongping and said, “You still think you’re so great? That that’s the reason other people are being all respectful and courteous to you? If not for the unity of the Han Family, who would care about you?! Everyone would have already gone and sucked up to Xijin and Zhuoli. Why would you have any part to play?”

Lu Man secretly gave Old Mrs. Han a thumbs-up in her heart. This knife was stabbed too viciously.

Han Dongping never thought he was any lesser than Han Xijin, yet he had always been undervalued in every aspect compared to Han Xijin.

Still, to have Old Mrs. Han talk of him in that manner, how could he bear that?

“Enough!” Old Mr. Han said to Han Dongping, “Aside from seeking justice for Zhuoling on this matter, there is still another layer to it. Have you ever thought of that? If our family just lets this matter go so easily and lets other people think we, the Hans, are so easily to bully, don’t you think other people will come and try to sully our reputation, thinking that we won’t do anything about it? If we don’t shake them up, they will really think that anyone can just come and taint us!”

Old Mrs. Han continued, “You simply think that we’re making a big fuss going after the Xia Family because you’re so fixated on those marginal gains and think that we will suffer losses ourselves no matter what if we did that. But have you ever thought what would happen in the future if things like these occur more and more? It’s not just on personal matters, but also on work. They will feel that actually, the Han Family is not that great and only looks impressive but does nothing, like a paper tiger. They will all want to trample on our family in the business field. You don’t think that’s insulting either?!”

Han Dongping was stunned. He had really never thought of that.

This matter did not just involve Han Zhuoling. It involved the long-term development of the Han Family.

“Xijin, Zhuoling, Zhuoli, and even Zhuofeng, who hasn’t stepped into the business world yet, could think of this, but you couldn’t,” Old Mr. Han said. “Why don’t you reflect on yourself properly? Don’t keep blaming others for not giving you a chance or that other people are fighting with you for recognition. There are some things that once owned, no one else will be able to snatch from you.”

Han Dongping was stunned. He subconsciously stared at Han Zhuoli and the rest.

Did they all really think of that?

Was he the only one who did not?

Han Zhuoling remained as stern as usual, yet he had an intellectual aura around him.

Han Zhuoli was not surprised at all by Old Mr. Han’s words, so it seemed like he thought the same as well.

Needless to say that as for Lu Man, she was unbelievably calm.

Even Zhuofeng gave him a look of disapproval.

It was as if, in this whole family, he was the only dumb person!

Han Dongping stopped talking. He could no longer sit there any further.

“Up to you all,” Han Dongping said in a low voice. “As for the rest of the matters, you can decide among yourselves. Anyway, whatever I say, no one will listen to it!”

Han Dongping stood up. “Then I won’t stay here any further.”

When he left, Old Mrs. Han even pointed at the door as her finger shook and said, “How did I give birth to such a ridiculous bastard?! I don’t expect him to think of the big picture, but even as a father, he shouldn’t have said those things either!”

“Grandma, it’s okay,” Han Zhuoling said calmly. “I don’t mind.”

Old Mrs. Han’s heart twisted in pain. How disappointed must he be in Han Dongping as a father to the point that he would not even care about this?

He had long been accustomed to how unreliable Han Dongping was. His disappointment probably turned into a habit—that was why he no longer had any hope in him.

Lin Liye only felt terrible.

At that moment, Han Zhuoling reached out to hold her hand and comfort her silently.
