BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1384 - Han Yaotian Reemerges
After the Han family had been pulled down from their high horse, they seemed to have been keeping a low profile lately. From the intelligence that Mu Feichi received, the Han family had begun working hard trying to make up for the error of their ways. The Hans were quietly stabilizing the family’s financial standing and patiently waiting for their chance to once again become part of the big four wealthiest families in the future.
The more they tried to keep their heads down, the more Yun Xi was certain that if something were to go wrong, they would act as the devil in disguise. Regardless, whether the Han family was actually playing nice or simply putting up a front, they were no longer her number one enemy at present.
Yun Xi gave Zhao Yumo an address to pass to Han Yaotian. She knew very well that if it were not something urgent, he would not insist on seeing her. She casually headed out to meet the man, given that her experimental research was in a bottleneck period. Since she was out, she swung by her school and visited her professor to give an update on the progress of the experimental research.
With the virus infection still at its peak, Yun Xi had specifically chosen an uncrowded and extravagant Western restaurant in the city to meet. Slowly taking her time to get there, Yun Xi finally appeared at the door of the restaurant wearing a mask. Han Yaotian instantly caught sight of her figure at the door and quickly stood up from his chair and waved at her.
As Yun Xi walked toward the man, she glanced at Han Yaotian, who was dressed in casual clothes. The Han family was in ruins, but he was still impeccably dressed as always. Perhaps because he was an illegitimate child and was unwilling to lose to any other legitimate sons of the Han family, the man strove for perfection in everything he did. Be it in the previous life or this current one, the inferiority he felt in his bones was a scar he would never allow to see the light of day.
As soon as Yun Xi approached the table, being the gentleman that he was, Han Yaotian walked over and pulled out the chair for her. His every movement was made to resemble the etiquette of a refined nobleman. It was a pity that because of his background, he was destined to make a fool of himself no matter how hard he tried to imitate others. He would never have the elegance and nobility that issued from Mu Feichi, who had the ability to make people feel intimidated and admiring from the bottom of their hearts from just his gaze alone.
Yun Xi did not feel the need to put the man down, so she sat down on the chair. As she looked at the man smiling at her, she plastered on an unfeeling smile through her mask. “Chairman Han, I heard you were anxious to see me. Is there something important you would like to discuss? The virus is spreading like wildfire of late. If there is nothing urgent, it’s best to avoid being out at all.”
“Yun Xi, why do I get the feeling that you seem to dislike me?” Han Yaotian took the menu, unbothered by her indifferent behavior, and politely asked what she wanted to drink instead.
Yun Xi answered swiftly by requesting a cup of hot tea, then she tugged playfully at the corners of her mouth. “You are a man gifted with good looks and you have a good family background. I’m sure that aside from me, there are plenty out there who are smitten by you, isn’t that so, Chairman Han?”
“But no matter how charming the rest of them are, they are unmatched by your grace, isn’t that so, Miss Yun?”
His words were clearly flirtatious, but Yun Xi had long been immune to Han Yaotian’s womanizing tricks. Maybe she would have been taken by surprise by his seduction and felt a sense of shyness and giddiness in her last life, but now that she had died and been reborn, she would be damned to feel a sliver of giddiness at all.
“Chairman Han, why don’t you just get right to the point and tell me why we’re here today. I may be young, but it’s not like I haven’t seen the world. The members of your family must be cursing at me, wishing to stab at me with a thousand knives right now. Meanwhile, you’re here sitting so calmly, sipping tea with me. I have to say, Chairman Han, your good temper is indeed praiseworthy.”

With all the misfortune that had befallen the Hans, was there even a single incident unrelated to her?
From the very beginning, when Han Wanling had tried to sabotage her, up until now, she had been firmly seated as the major shareholder of the Han Corporation. Getting the Han family kicked out of the big four had all been part of her grand scheme. If the Han family did not hate her after all she had done to them, then she must be a monkey’s uncle.
