Zheng Ze Min nodded at Mr. Mo, as if he hadn't heard anything.
Tang Yi looked at Zheng Ze Min cautiously and asked in a low voice, "What did you hear just now?"
Zheng Ze Min smiled at Tang Yi and asked, "Is there anything I should have heard?"
Seeing Zheng Ze Min's expression, Tang Yi wondered if she was overthinking it.
They had just been discussing this matter with Mr. Mo. Although Tang Yi didn't mind Zheng Ze Min's poverty, Zheng Ze Min had his pride. Tang Yi worried that he had heard something he shouldn't have, and that his self-esteem had been hurt.
Therefore, Tang Yi looked at Zheng Ze Min, cautiously probing.
However, Zheng Ze Min acted as if nothing had happened.
Seeing Tang Yi staring at him, he couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
Tang Yi shook her head.
"Then why are you staring at my face?"
"Didn't you hear anything unpleasant just now?"
Tang Yi asked cautiously.
"No, did you say something bad about me?"
"No, how could I bear to say bad things about you?"
After speaking, Tang Yi glanced at Mr. Mo and then said to Zheng Ze Min, "Let's go. We should leave now. He'll be fine recovering on his own."
Mr. Mo looked at Tang Yi, seeming to want to say something but ultimately remaining silent.
After the two left the hospital, Mr. Mo stared at the hospital room door, frowning. It seemed that Tang Yi was devoted to Zheng Ze Min.
It would likely be impossible to persuade Tang Yi to leave Zheng Ze Min.
However, Mr. Mo would not let Tang Yi suffer any grievances.
Therefore, after some thought, he decided to target Zheng Ze Min instead.
Zheng Ze Min had finally managed to get close to someone of status. He wasn't foolish enough to give up Tang Yi so easily and break up with her.
The only way to make Zheng Ze Min voluntarily withdraw was to go after his family and force him to let go of Tang Yi through them.
With this in mind, Mr. Mo took out Zheng Ze Min's information again and examined it carefully.
He saw that Zheng Ze Min's rural hometown was in a precarious condition. Years ago, the Fu Group had set their sights on this land, wanting to buy it to build countryside villas.
However, the villagers, led by Zheng Ze Min's mother, refused to move.
No matter how much Fu Yan Ting offered, they did not compromise.
After Fu Yan Ting had his accident, this matter was put on hold.
Fu Yan Ting couldn't do it, but he could.
Mr. Mo's lips curved into a cold smile.
He couldn't be blamed for being cruel; it was Zheng Ze Min's own fault for being oblivious.
If Zheng Ze Min had any sense of propriety and didn't pester his daughter, he wouldn't have treated the people in his village this way.
Therefore, he couldn't be blamed for his ruthlessness; the blame lay solely on Zheng Ze Min for overestimating himself.
If the villagers wanted to settle scores, they could only turn to Zheng Ze Min.
Three days later, Mr. Mo, not yet fully recovered, impatiently had his assistant handle his discharge from the hospital.
After leaving the hospital, his assistant looked at Mr. Mo and reported, "Boss, Miss Han attempted suicide."
Han Xiao's suicide?
This was beyond Mr. Mo's expectations.
However, Han Xiao's suicide was her own doing.
Even if Han Xiao hadn't said anything, Mr. Mo knew everything she had done.
Therefore, whether Han Xiao committed suicide or not made little difference to Mr. Mo.
It was just that Han Xiao's suicide was too easy for her.
Thinking of what Han Xiao had done to Yu Gui Lan and Tang Yi.
Mr. Mo's anger had nowhere to vent.
"Yes, I will handle this. Go and spread the word that Zheng Ze Min's family land is going to be demolished."
"Boss, who exactly is this Zheng Ze Min? I remember there was a famous lawyer who seemed to be named Zheng Ze Min."
"You're asking too much."
Mr. Mo said coldly.
The assistant quickly shut his mouth, intimidated.
He obediently followed Mr. Mo's instructions.
Zheng Ze Min received a call from his mother that evening.
Zheng Ze Min knew that although his hometown was a rural area, the people there were simple and honest. Furthermore, the compensation offered by the developers was extremely meager, which was why they were unwilling to move.
After receiving his mother's call, Zheng Ze Min saw that she was very agitated and quickly comforted her, "Mom, don't get worked up. I'll come back and see right away."
After hanging up the phone, Zheng Ze Min looked at Tang Yi apologetically and said softly, "Yi Yi, I'm sorry. I promised to stay with you, but I have to break my promise."
Tang Yi had seen Zheng Ze Min's somber expression while on the phone.
So, when Zheng Ze Min said this, Tang Yi knew that he had encountered some problem.
Tang Yi asked with concern, "What happened? Do you want me to go with you?"
Zheng Ze Min told Tang Yi about the situation in his hometown.
Tang Yi was also furious after hearing it.
However, Tang Yi quickly calmed down and asked, "Didn't the government issue an order that your hometown cannot be demolished? How could someone still have ideas about it?"
"I don't know. I need to go back and understand the situation. If necessary, we'll have to go to court."
"Then I'll go back with you."
Upon hearing Tang Yi's words, Zheng Ze Min couldn't help but recall Tang Yi's conversation with Mr. Mo in the hospital that day.
Zheng Ze Min knew that Tang Yi wouldn't look down on him.
However, for some reason, he instinctively didn't want Tang Yi to see the dilapidated state of his hometown.
Perhaps he was worried that Tang Yi, seeing the poverty and simplicity of his hometown, would look down on him from the bottom of her heart.
Tang Yi saw through Zheng Ze Min's thoughts at a glance.
She stepped forward, took Zheng Ze Min's hand, and said softly, "We are already together and have chosen each other. To me, you are my only family. No matter what, I want to be by your side when you encounter difficulties. Even if I can't help you solve your problems, at least I can accompany you."
This wasn't the first time Zheng Ze Min had heard Tang Yi say such things.
Before, when Tang Yi said similar things to Zheng Ze Min, he had simply thought she was saying them to provoke Mr. Mo.
But now, with just the two of them, Tang Yi said this to him again.
Zheng Ze Min could feel that Tang Yi wasn't acting impulsively to provoke Mr. Mo when she said this.
Tang Yi genuinely accepted him.
This realization warmed Zheng Ze Min's heart.
Eventually, they would reach the stage of meeting each other's families.
Since Tang Yi had made this request, Zheng Ze Min had no reason to refuse her.
