His True Colors

Chapter 4

In a presidential suite in a private island.

Han Jingru was sitting in front of a woman. She had a meticulous make up and sumptuous jewelry. Every emotion and gesture of hers exuded an air of nobility.

"Jingru, I'm happy that you are willing to see me." The woman's name was Shiyan, Han Jingru's mother.

Even as Han Jingru sat face-to-face with his very own mother, the man's heart was unrippled. He didn't even bother to look her in the eye.

"Who could've thought that a thrown away like me would end up useful? I had never imagined it. And I believe it surprised you as well." Han Jingru's lips curled up and smiled faintly.

"Jingru, I know that what happened three years ago isn't fair for you. But that was your grandmother's decision and I have no choice!" Shiyan was riled as she replied.

Han Jingru simply shook his head and answered, "Three years ago? So in your opinion, the unfairness was merely for three years?"

"Thirteen years ago, he was twelve but there was only his name on the birthday cake. All of you celebrated with him but none of you remembered that I was only five minutes younger than him. And from that day onwards, unfairness had fallen upon me. For the rest of the thirteen years, he had conquered the family with his sweet talk. As for me? No matter how hard I tried, no matter how much I excel in my studies, none of you cared."

"Had he not gotten himself in jail, would you even bother to cast another look at me?"

"If it wasn't the case that the Han family does not have an heir, will you even remember a person called Han Jingru?"

"She isn't worthy to be my grandmother. And you, aren't worthy to be my mother."

When Shiyan heard those undisputable words, she covered her eyes and wept.

"The Han family had owed me too much. I will be sure to take every one of them back."

"She said she didn't want anyone to look down on her and she didn't want to be the laughingstock anymore."

Shiyan drew a deep breath and calmed herself down. The mother said, "Yun City will be founding an entirely new company for you, and you alone will be fully responsible for it."

"Hoho, was that a test for me? Even if the Han family is dying out, she still doubts my competence?" Han Jingru stared intently in Shiyan's eyes.

The new company? That might sound sweet to make Han Jingru his own boss. However, the man knew that it was just a test from his grandmother. The man must excel in his management in order to pass the test to inherit the Han family.

She nodded and kept her silence.

"Okay, I will make sure she knows who has the competence to inherit the family and also the consequences of her belittling me. But, let me make myself clear. I am not doing it for the Han family, but for her."

After Han Jingru left the hotel, Shiyan took up her phone.

"Mum, he agreed."

"I hope that he will not disappoint me. Otherwise, even if I had to donate all of the family wealth and legacy, I will not keep a cent for him."

Shiyan hesitated and decided not to relay Han Jingru's message. Not just the old Madam of the Han family, even she herself preferred the brother of Han Jingru. If it wasn't due to the circumstances, she would never step into Yun city for the rest of her life.

The following day, a shocking news blasted the Yun city.

The Han family from Yan Jing province would be setting up a new company in Yun city. As the real estate pioneer of the country, they would definitely be able to develop the Yun city. Countless eyes were fixing on the new company of the Han family and everyone hoped that they could be in some business relationship with them.
