266— Does The Han Family Have A Relative Like That?

Therefore, he was already a good candidate for the heir of their Liu family in the future.

So she retracted her malevolent appearance and tried for a smile, even though it looked a bit scary, "Why are you asking about him, Shou'er?"

Liu Shou maintained his normal appearance as he said, "Nothing much, just that he reminds me of a classmate of mine."

Liu Zhizhen did not care about this so-called classmate of his at all, but she felt that this line of conversation was much better than feeling angered to death, so she asked pleasantly, "Is that so?"

"Yes, and that classmate also goes by the surname Han, named Yichen. Does the Han family have a relative like that?"

Han Leifeng, who was just about to step out of earshot, froze instantly.

What did he just hear? Han....Yichen?

His heart thudded violently, causing him to have to rest against the wall to stabilize himself.

In the living room, Liu Zhizhen paused for a bit, trying to think about anyone in the Han family that could fit such a description.

After thinking for a while, she shook her head, "I'm not sure about that. I can't remember one, but he may be a distant relative from one of the smaller side branches. Or it may just be a coincidence. You school in City M, right? It may just be one of those common families that share the same name."

Liu Shou only nodded without speaking. Before coming here, he might have agreed with her, but after seeing this man, he didn't think it was as simple as his aunt has said at all. To his thinking, the family that could birth and nurture a person like Han Yichen could not be an ordinary family.

Coupled with the obvious resemblance between Han Yichen and the man that he just saw, he felt there was a high chance that he was closely related to this First House of the Han family.

If he had to guess, it was either Han Yichen was this man's son, or his maternal uncle's son. Though he was leaning towards his maternal uncle more. Since he had one illegitimate son, who was to say he didn't have another one somewhere?

Poor Han Likang that was being misunderstood by his wife's nephew.

That was why Liu Shou didn't say anything to his aunt. He had a feeling that whichever guess of his was right, his aunt would lose her composure anyway and might even do something drastic.

It was a small thing if she fought with her husband, but if she decided to divorce him—or worse—do something to Han Yichen, he would be the one at fault.

So he pretended not to have any thoughts and just went along with his aunt's words.

Seeing his calm look that mimicked an adult's, Liu Zhizhen smiled at him as she asked, "Do you want to be his friend?"

Liu Shou smiled and shook his head, "Not really. We're not that close."

Liu Zhizhen nodded at him, "It doesn't matter. You can do whatever you like. If he is worth befriending, you can just put in a bit of effort. But if not, don't bother. Our Liu family may not be the most influential in this country, but we are worth currying favor with."

Liu Shou gave her another smile, but within, he was incredulous.

Is his aunt serious? The Liu family was worth currying favor with? That was only true when those people currying favor were from third rate families or average families outside the Capital. Here, they were barely considered a second-tier aristocratic family, and this was still thanks to the Han family.

Since his cousin died, the amount of those currying favor with their family had dwindled greatly. It was like they knew the wheels of favor were about to turn against their Liu family.

Not just that, a couple of his uncles were sacked from the Han Corporation several months ago, and it caused an uproar in the family, or so he heard. His grandfather was even bedridden for a few days due to this issue.

In summary, their family really wasn't as powerful or sought-after as his aunt thought.

In his opinion though, it was already too ridiculous that their entire Liu family was relying on just this one aunt for their face and influence. It was better for them to work hard and earn what they wanted based on their own abilities.

"Alright, it's about time for lunch. Let me tell the one of the workers to serve today's menu. Would you like some fruit juice as well?"

Liu Shou nodded as he voiced his thanks, and Liu Zhizhen's voice could be heard as they got up to move to the dining room.

Only Han Leifeng still stood at his original spot, hidden just out of sight by the wall adjacent the staircase.

Could it be the same Han Yichen? His Yichen?

One thing was sure. He had to find out immediately.

Barely holding on to his rationality, he decided not to go out immediately, so as not to make Liu Zhizhen suspicious in any way. He had no doubt that if she so much as caught a whiff of Han Yichen's identity from a careless action of his, she would use it against him.

Beyond that, his mind had just begun to take in the gravity of the news. Yichen. His son. If the person that he had heard of was truly his son, it meant they were alive and doing well.

It meant that he could reunite very soon with his family.

Han Leifeng was so emotional that he was trembling faintly.

He didn't know how long he stood there for, but when he heard footsteps approaching the staircase, he came back to his senses and sharply changed his position, making it look as if he was just coming down the stairs.

The worker that was about to go upstairs made an about turn after sighting Han Leifeng. She hurriedly mumbled a greeting before retracing her steps back to the kitchen. She didn't even notice anything abnormal, such as the fact that he was still fully dressed in his office attire.

By all means, she had to escape the approaching calamity ah!

Han Leifeng didn't even spare her a glance, he just turned back and went to his room, his mind spinning relentlessly.

He had to speed up his plans immediately, so that he could have the ability to protect them.

But in the meantime, he had to go to City M.
