Chapter 207

"What am I supposed to advise? Love is priceless. My brother and Mengmeng have love too. Mom, why don't you just leave it alone? This is the first time I've seen my brother so happy. Don't interfere anymore. If you have the time, you should continue looking for your long-lost precious eldest son."

He Wei said this without even bothering to look up.

Her daughter and son both want to pursue true love?

Qi Yingying felt she was about to develop an allergy to true love.

On one side, Qi Yingying was gradually breaking down; on the other side, her biggest enemy was also in a state of despair.

Ever since He Youde took care of his elder brother's eldest son back then, he had always felt that everything went smoothly for him. Every subsequent plan was perfect, and over the years, all kinds of obstacles were eliminated.

His nephew and niece had become perfect failures.

His own son had grown into an outstanding individual, currently rising through the ranks. Next up was the money from his elder brother's family!

Over the years, Father had been instilling in his elder brother the idea that as long as someone in the family succeeded, they would honor the ancestors of the He family.

Whoever succeeded would get the He family's money!

Regardless of whether it was his own son or not.

His elder brother had always followed this principle, and now, only the property remained!

Suddenly, this family that should have disappeared over twenty years ago appeared before him, like a landmine?

Sitting in the state-owned restaurant, He Youde still couldn't calm down.

He really wanted to light a cigarette to calm himself down.

However, all his thoughts were hidden beneath his impeccable acting skills, and Zhou Jiaojiao and Wang Qingqi couldn't detect any sign of his tension.

All they could see was him sitting across from them, looking at them with a dark expression.

Wang Qingqi was trembling with nervousness.

Zhou Jiaojiao cursed inwardly at his uselessness, then spoke to He Youde: "Uncle He, I think it's better to call you uncle. After all, we don't know who your wife is. We remember the person who made my father-in-law do something sinister back then."

He Youde glanced around, considering if he could find a way to make them permanently silent.

But thinking about how well his son was doing, he gave up.

He couldn't take the risk. Looking at these two, their lives didn't seem to be going well, otherwise, they wouldn't have come to him.

It wasn't worth fighting to the death with such people.

"Red-braised pork is ready, come get it!" someone shouted.

He Youde got up to fetch the meat. They were seated in a corner, and the restaurant was bustling, so no one heard their conversation earlier.

A moment later, he returned with the meat, smiling and introducing it to them: "The red-braised pork here is exceptional. You two must try it. Oh, right, how is your father? I've been wanting to see him for many years.

After all, back then... he did have a hand in taking a life."

He said this to Wang Qingqi.

This made Wang Qingqi very nervous, and he quickly sought help from his wife.

Zhou Jiaojiao was now very composed, knowing this was crucial for their future!

"Uncle He, my father-in-law is fine. He's not the kind of person to lose his conscience. My father-in-law didn't act, and that child is still alive," Zhou Jiaojiao revealed, making He Youde want to bury the entire Old Wang family.

These fools dared to threaten him?

No, rather, that old man seemed honest back then, but he had such cunning intentions?

He Youde couldn't stay calm; his grip on the chopsticks tightened almost to the point of breaking.

Looking at Zhou Jiaojiao and Wang Qingqi across from him, his anger surged.

All his good mood vanished, but the matter still needed to be handled!

If he could settle everything back then, he could do it now!

He Youde regained his confidence and pushed the meat towards them with a friendly gesture: "I'm relieved to hear he's fine. So many years have passed, and our families have a deep connection. By the way, what brings you here this time?

Do you need help with something?"

He Youde was a flexible man.

Hearing this, Zhou Jiaojiao knew he was inviting them to state their conditions.

After getting excited, she quickly thought about what they needed.

After a moment, Zhou Jiaojiao hesitantly stated their request: "Uncle He, your words touch us. I thought someone as successful as you wouldn't care about old friends anymore. I didn't expect you to remember my father-in-law.

Our family has been struggling, and neither my husband nor I have decent jobs.

Uncle He, you're capable. Can you get us some respectable jobs in the county?"

Just that?

He Youde was stunned.

They came all the way to the provincial city for such a minor issue, and made it sound so serious?

Still, he couldn't make it too easy for them, or their demands might grow larger.

He Youde thought all of this in just an instant, and he immediately put on a troubled expression: "This... don't look at how well I seem to be doing, but I'm also half-dependent on others. As for the job issue, I really..."

"Uncle He, we know you're in a difficult position, so we asked for the simplest thing. Our family consists of honest people who just want a peaceful life. If our lives are stable, Uncle He, your life will surely be stable too."

The implications in Zhou Jiaojiao's words left He Youde speechless.

Wasn't she being too clear?

Really, no sense of dignity!

But this was perfect; dignity would be wasted on such people.

"This matter isn't impossible to handle for you, but my stability doesn't depend on your verbal promises. There are some things that are like a thorn in my throat, and you need to resolve them for me."

He Youde furrowed his brows.

Zhou Jiaojiao was secretly delighted. Indeed, this man wanted to act.

This was great; everything could proceed according to her plan!

Zhou Jiaojiao tried hard to control her excitement to avoid giving it away, and she spoke with difficulty: "Uncle He, you're putting us in a tough spot. His survival is our guarantee, after all, life is long. How can we know if things will remain stable in the future?

But rest assured, he doesn't know his background. Once we get what we want, we won't say anything.

Uncle He, we came here this time for accurate information.

We must get the jobs."

Seeing her greedy attitude, He Youde began to worry about his own future.

He couldn't simply act rashly to save trouble, as his son's future was the most important.

He couldn't ignore them either, as the events from years ago must never be brought up.

The only path before him was to be bled dry by this family!

Until He Tian becomes successful!
