As soon as Father Han brought up this topic, the media began to ask questions, "President Han, while saying this, have you not considered that you and your secretary were also caught having an affair?"
"The evidence was fake! Someone created it! Everyone knows that I'm a family man. I can't believe that after 20 years, that woman would create evidence to slander me. I swear I haven't done anything, I have nothing to hide!"
"My secretary and I got together after our divorce was finalized."
"Both my sons are witnesses to that."
Father Han was confident, but he emitted an annoyingly overbearing vibe. This made it difficult for the reporters to ask further. All they could do was roll their eyes; the Han Family obviously weren't there to explain anything. Instead, they were forcefully telling everyone that they were innocent and anyone that opposed them were trash.
So, it wasn't hard to guess what was to follow.
The two sons were going to step forward and testify against their mother and the entire incident was expected to come to an end.
But, wasn't this a PR trick from 20 years ago? A trick that was already out of date. Did Father Han think he was holding a company board meeting?
"Su Yu's evidence can't prove anything. Instead, you should trust what my sons say. After all, that woman gave birth to them. They have no reason to slander their mother, right?"
Father Han did exactly what the reporters expected and turned his gaze towards Han Jie, "Han Jie, come and tell everyone the truth!"
Afterwards, Han Jie moved to the front of the stage.
Actually, Han Jie was quite surprised by Father Han's forceful method.
He insisted that he did nothing wrong and that the other party was playing cheap tricks. A self deceptive method like this showed how low he could go. But, what if a lame method like this actually worked?
"It's already been 20 years since everything happened. I think revisiting an old incident like this, is a second round of pain for both parties involved. I really don't want to be sitting up here today. After all, the person I'm opposing is the mother that gave birth to me and brought me up. But, a person should have their limits. Just because she's my mother, I can't let her hurt innocent people. That's all I'm going to say. Thank you everyone for your attention."
Han Jie had been slapped in the face before, so his response was very broad with no real point.
Father Han turned and looked at his son. He expected Han Jie to reveal the details of what happened in the past, but instead, what was the result? Han Jie avoided saying anything of value.
Father Han gestured for Han Jie to step forward again to elaborate on his response, but Han Jie pretended not to see him.
Meanwhile, Han Xiuche lowered his head. No one knew what he was thinking. Since he wasn't present during the incident, Father Han did not ask him to say anything. Instead, Father Han placed his gaze on his current wife.
The secretary immediately understood his gaze.
She gave a slight whimper and pretended to be wronged as she stepped forward and bowed apologetically, "I'm sorry that our family business has offended everyone's eyes. This incident from 20 years ago, should have already been over and forgotten. Who would have thought that it would be dug up again. I'm not sure what the motive of the person that's behind this is."
"Sister Su, I don't know what you want. If you think I stole your husband and you're trying to get revenge, then fine, I'll accept that. What do you want as compensation? Just tell me. You don't have to dig up this old scandal and make it known to everyone. You've made it impossible for your two sons to face the world."
"I know I shouldn't have married this man, but I couldn't stand seeing him suffer. Apart from comforting him and marrying him, there was nothing else I could do."
"If you want to hate someone, then direct your hatred towards me. I don't want to see you continue down the wrong path."
