The Han Family members were completely dumbfounded.
Did Pan Dayong really come to apologize, and even knelt down to Chen Xuan?
This must be an illusion, right?
Chen Xuan reminded, “It’s not me you should be kneeling to, it’s my wife!”
“Yes, yes, yes, President Han, I was just being foolish yesterday to offend you, I deserve to die, I deserve to die!”
Pan Dayong knelt in front of Han Jingting, slapping himself hard on the cheeks, the epitome of abasement.
He dared not be anything but abject, for Zheng Qingxue had made it very clear on the phone, that if he couldn’t satisfy Chen Xuan, Pan Dayong himself could start picking out a gravesite tomorrow.
“I’ve already revised the contract, offering a further thirty percent discount on the previous terms, I beg you, President Han, please give me another chance to cooperate!”
Pan Dayong offered the contract with both hands.
Han Jingting stood there stunned, feeling as if she were dreaming.
The Han Family members were like they had seen a ghost.

In the past, getting a contract from Yongfa Corporation was as difficult as ascending to the heavens, but now Pan Dayong was actually begging them for it; what on earth was going on?
Chen Xuan took the contract, dismissing him, “Jingting will sign the contract when she has time.
There’s nothing here for you anymore, you can leave!”
“Yes, yes, thank you, Brother Xuan!”
Pan Dayong scurried out of the Han Family home.
Watching Pan Dayong’s retreating back, the corners of Chen Xuan’s mouth curled up, “It seems that President Pan isn’t as difficult to deal with as you all said, huh?”
The Han Family members were at a loss for words.
To see the arrogant and imperious Pan Dayong reduced to such a state was a sight they had never before witnessed.
“Alright, I declare that Han Jingting will resume her role as the Sales Director effective immediately!” Madam Han spoke up.
Having just held the position for a day before handing it over, Han Yaru clenched her teeth in anger.
However, Chen Xuan shook his head, “Indeed, Jingting’s position must be restored, but that’s not enough!”
Everyone was startled, never expecting Chen Xuan to haggle with the old lady.
Han Chengye immediately leaped out, “Chen Xuan, don’t push your luck, what more do you want!”
“My wife was falsely accused, of course, I must seek justice!”
Chen Xuan’s gaze turned icy as he looked at Xiao Zhang and Xiao Wang, “You’re still not telling the truth?
Do you think your skulls are tougher than Pan Dayong’s?”
Thump!
Xiao Zhang and Xiao Wang immediately fell to their knees.
With even someone like Pan Dayong apologizing to Chen Xuan, how could they dare to remain defiant?
“President Han, it wasn’t our fault, it was all Han Yaru who instructed us to do so!”
“She threatened to expose our embezzlement and have us thrown in jail, we were forced into it!”
Everyone was in an uproar; such a twist was unexpected.
“You dare slander me, you’ve got some nerve…”
“Slap!”
Before Han Yaru could finish her sentence, she was sent sprawling to the ground by a slap from Chen Xuan.
“You…
you dare hit me?”
Han Yaru looked at Chen Xuan in disbelief.
She had never dreamed that she would be struck by this good-for-nothing.
Chen Xuan’s eyes were frosty, “Whether you did it or not, you know best!
This slap is a lesson for you.
Dare to do it again, and I won’t be so lenient!”
After saying that, Chen Xuan, holding a still shocked Han Jingting, headed straight out.
“This is mutiny!
This son-in-law is rebelling!
Granny, you must stand up for me!”
Han Yaru started to cry and throw a tantrum sitting on the ground.
Madam Han felt a surge of annoyance, “Enough, you were also in the wrong, don’t do it again.”
She couldn’t be bothered with these petty conflicts; the interests of the Han Family were all that mattered.
Since Chen Xuan had retrieved the contract from Yongfa Corporation, there was nothing more to say.
“Granny…”
Han Yaru cried out, but Madam Han had already left leaning on her cane.
“Chen Xuan!
This isn’t over between us!”
Han Yaru roared like a lioness.
On the ride home, Han Jingting was utterly baffled.
“What on earth happened with Pan Dayong?”
“It’s nothing, I just scared him by saying I have a video of him plotting against you yesterday.
I told him if he didn’t apologize, I’d send him to jail, and then he got scared,” Chen Xuan said.
Unable to believe it was that simple, Han Jingting questioned, “Just like that?”
“Otherwise, why do you think he would apologize on his own?”
Han Jingting was at a loss for words.
She always felt there was something untrustworthy about Chen Xuan’s words, but she couldn’t think of any other explanation at the moment.
Chen Xuan quickly changed the subject, “Tomorrow is the weekend, and I was thinking of taking Xiaoyu to see my mom.
Do you want to come along?”
“I can’t tomorrow.
Our company is participating in a trade fair, and I’ll need to be there to coordinate things, so I probably won’t be able to get away,” Jingting replied, as she reached over to the backseat to pick up a delicate paper bag.
“This is a piece of clothing I bought for your mom a few days ago.
Please take it to her tomorrow.”
Chen Xuan recognized the brand—it wasn’t cheap.
Although Han Jingting was always lukewarm towards Chen Xuan, she was still a dutiful daughter-in-law, sometimes even washing clothes for Chen Xuan’s mother.
It was hard to imagine someone so pampered and delicate like Han Jingting willingly doing such menial tasks.
Seeing that Han Jingting cared about his mother warmed Chen Xuan’s heart.
Perhaps this was the reason he was willing to tolerate how the Han family treated him.
The next morning, Chen Xuan set off with Xiaoyu to see his mother, Xu Suzhen.
Xu Suzhen lived alone in an old part of the city.
Though the houses were somewhat run-down, they were the rare kind with their own courtyards, which was more comfortable for elders not accustomed to apartment buildings.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance to the alley, Chen Xuan could see, from a distance, his mother, Xu Suzhen, already standing at the doorway looking out, obviously having been waiting for a long time.
“Grandma!”
Xiaoyu ran towards Xu Suzhen like a little angel.
Xu Suzhen was overjoyed and scooped Xiaoyu up into her arms.
“Grandma, Xiaoyu missed you.
Did you miss Xiaoyu?”
“I missed you, of course I did.
Grandma dreams about Xiaoyu every night!”
“Grandma is so good!
Here’s a reward.”
With that, Xiaoyu planted a kiss on Xu Suzhen’s cheek, making her laugh uncontrollably.
Seeing his mother so happy, Chen Xuan felt a hint of bitterness.
He knew how much his mother adored Xiaoyu, and how Xiaoyu loved being with her grandmother the most.
It was just a shame that he, merely a son-in-law who lived with his wife’s family, didn’t have the right to let his mother see Xiaoyu every day, leaving her to live alone in this dilapidated courtyard.
Every time he thought of his mother standing at the doorway looking out in loneliness, Chen Xuan couldn’t help feeling a lump in his throat.
“Where’s Jingting?
Didn’t she come with you?” Xu Suzhen asked.
“She had some business at her company today.
This is a gift she asked me to bring you,” Chen Xuan said, handing over the clothing.
“Jingting really shouldn’t have spent the money,” Xu Suzhen remarked, even though her face was full of happiness.
“Mom, why don’t you try it on?” Chen Xuan encouraged.
“Xiaoyu wants to see Grandma in her new clothes too!” Xiaoyu was very eager.
“Alright then, I’ll give it a try.”
A few minutes later, Xu Suzhen came out of the house, dressed in the new clothes.
Indeed, clothes make the person—Xu Suzhen looked radiant in the outfit, and her demeanor was greatly improved.
“Grandma is so pretty!” Xiaoyu sweetly exclaimed.
Chen Xuan, too, was full of praise, “Mom really looks beautiful.
No wonder she could have such a handsome son like me!”
Xu Suzhen couldn’t stop smiling with the compliments from father and daughter.
“Alright, I still need to cook later on, so I’d better change back,” she said.
But before Xu Suzhen could go back inside, Chen Xuan stopped her, “Mom, there’s no need to change.
Let’s go out for a nice meal today.”
Without waiting for Xu Suzhen to respond, Xiaoyu jumped with joy, “That’s great!
We’re going out to eat!”
Xu Suzhen gave a wry smile.
She didn’t want to disappoint Xiaoyu, so she agreed.
Xiaoyu bounced out the door, with Chen Xuan and Xu Suzhen smiling as they followed behind, catching up with her sprightly figure.
Once they left the alley, Xiaoyu hid behind a car and started playing hide and seek with Chen Xuan, her two little braids poking out adorably.
But just then, they heard someone cursing loudly, “Who’s that damn little girl?
Stay away from my car!”
