The more Han Ziyan thought about it, the more she felt it was unfair. When she returned home, she was sure that she could easily swindle some money from her mother, but now she realised that nothing seemed to be going her way. Forget about getting twenty-five thousand yuan with the current situation; she might not even get a set of clothes for herself.

She stomped her feet and said to her mother angrily, "Mom, you know that I work in the army canteen, how can I be dressed in such a manner? This is too much. This time around, I will not give my clothes to Han Ruochen. You might as well forget about asking me to take something good out." Han Ziyan did not care that she was being obstinate or stubborn. All she knew was that Han Ruochen had refused to take out the money that should have ultimately belonged to her.

Since that was the case, she was not going to take any dresses out for Han Ruochen either. She had to suffer with her!

"There is no need to take any clothes out for her; your father has already taken care of hers as well as Beijiang and Jianyou’s clothes. I don’t know how much money that man gave to her, but when she returned, she had three sets of clothes for that fool and two sets for herself. I am quite certain that Jianyou also received three sets of clothes!" Meng Yunhan was seething with rage at the thought of Han Yichen spending money on those idiots. She had worked so hard to make sure that none of them would be able to surpass Han Ziyan; only then would she be able to stand tall at the end and tell Han Yichen that he was the one who ruined her life.

And that he was nothing but pathetic scum.

Just like his children.

But now Han Ruochen had purchased a motorboat; even if she wanted to pretend that they were nothing compared to Han Ziyan, she couldn’t, not unless Han Ruochen sold off her motorboat.

However, in her anger, Meng Yunhan forgot to be mindful of Han Ziyan’s feelings.

When Han Ziyan heard that everyone in the house had new sets of clothes other than her, she was so angry that her face turned pale and her eyes could not help but turn red. She couldn’t get the three thousand yuan fine, and she also did not have new sets of clothes, but Han Ruochen did! How could this be allowed? Tears almost spilled from her eyes as she cried out, "Why should they have new sets of clothes while I don’t get any? Mom, I am the one who is working in this family! I should have new clothes the most. Why are you giving them new clothes? They don’t need them at all."

"How can you be so thoughtless!?"

This year, why did it seem like the children of the Han family were the real young masters and mistresses, but she was just the dirt under the rug? She was being treated so unfairly, even when her mother promised that she would treat her better than they did.

"Don’t ask me anything anymore. It was your father who gave them the money. What is the point of losing your temper with me?" Meng Yunhan was also having a headache, which made her wince. "Anyway, there is no point in getting angry with me. You still have a lot of dresses, don’t you? Just make do with them for now, and worst comes to worst, you can just use your own salary to buy some clothes for yourself, but make sure that you buy cheap ones; you also need to save some money for your dowry."

They could no longer spend money like they used to in the past.

Meng Yunhan felt her head split when she thought about how she needed to start saving for her daughter’s dowry now. She always thought that she could take Han Ruochen’s share and the bigger one at that, but it seemed like Han Yichen was determined to watch her daughter be embarrassed, that heartless man. Why was she doing this? Wasn’t it his fault? He owed this to her!

It had to be said that Han Ziyan took after Meng Yunhan without a doubt; the two of them were just like one another.

Han Ziyan couldn’t take it lying down; she had wanted to take money from Han Ruochen and use it, but now she was being told that she couldn’t do it!? How could that be allowed? That money was hers as well!

Even when she was sent away by her mother, Han Ziyan could not accept it. She gritted her teeth and went to Han Ruochen’s door. She had just lifted her hand to knock on the door when she realised that the woman was not at home and she had gone to the shore. Now that she thought about it, was it not the day Han Ruochen’s motorboat was going to be delivered?

Surely, that young man must be here as well, given how concerned he was about Han Ruochen all the time.

Han Ziyan wanted to stay at home, as she did not want to listen to the praises of the villagers. But when she thought about the job that could make her just as popular as Han Ruochen, she immediately gritted her teeth and walked downstairs.

"Mom, I am going to check up on my sister’s motorboat." She wanted to show her face in front of that young man so that he would know that Han Ruochen had another sister. Han Ziyan did not believe that Han Ruochen would still be able to keep the heart of that young man after he saw her. Han Ziyan believed in herself. Since she could snatch Yang Jianming, she could snatch any man near Han Ruochen as long as she set her mind on it.

"What are you going there for?" Meng Yunhan asked with a frown. "Stay at home; don’t join in the fanfare. I can just tell you how those people will treat you if you go there."
