Chapter 239

"I came to find you yesterday, why didn't you come over? What if it delayed something important?" He Wei questioned Yu Cheng, her tone commanding as if she were giving orders, which made Yu Cheng laugh.

Yu Cheng sized up He Wei, not giving her any face: "What? Just because you're asking me for a favor, I have to cater to your schedule? Where's the logic in that? He Wei, do you think you're still the little princess of the courtyard?"

"Are you playing the little princess and the little tyrant game with Ji Feng in our courtyard, and you've gone crazy with it?"

"What do you mean? He's not some little tyrant at all. He's just fine, it's all the nicknames you people give him. You don't know how good he is," He Wei thought of her beloved and could only see his good side.

Looking at Yu Cheng who was badmouthing her beloved, she wished she could kick him out right away.

Yu Cheng listened to He Wei praising Ji Feng with a blank expression, feeling his head throb.

Seeing that she was about to continue, he interrupted her impatiently: "So you told my family you needed me for something, just to talk about your beloved? We aren't that close, are we?"

He Wei felt a bit embarrassed.

She awkwardly explained: "Of course not, it's my mom who asked me to find you. She wants you to help her investigate something, and she'll pay you."

He Wei recounted everything her mother had instructed her to tell Yu Cheng.

Yu Cheng almost burst into laughter inside. This was quite a coincidence.

He was familiar with Wang Qinghe, and the recent trouble he had been causing was probably related to the He family.

This matter, wouldn't it be up to him and Wang Qinghe to decide, and the He family would just have to accept it?

"Don't just laugh, give me a straight answer, can you do it or not?" He Wei was getting anxious.

"Sure, why not? As long as Aunt pays, I'll do the investigation for her. Tell her I need reimbursement for travel expenses and one hundred yuan. It's not much, considering I'm busy now.

Your family shouldn't mind one hundred yuan."

Yu Cheng's attitude was casual; one hundred yuan was indeed nothing to the He family.

He Wei didn't even frown: "Alright, go ahead and investigate, my mom will pay you."

"Is there anything else? If not, I'm off. My future wife is waiting for me to go out with her." Yu Cheng said and walked away confidently.

Seeing Yu Cheng so happy, He Wei couldn't help but think of her beloved.

Ji Feng had been coming to her house every day recently.

But... he always seemed to get close to He Huihui. Every time he came, he would call for Huihui to chat, talking about things she couldn't understand.

Usually, Ji Feng didn't talk about such refined topics, and she thought they were alike.

But when facing Huihui, he seemed...

Thinking about it made He Wei feel uncomfortable, and she didn't dare to think too deeply.

"Xiao Vi, why are you still standing outside? Come in, we agreed yesterday to have a picnic with Ji Feng today. I specifically asked Uncle this morning if we could use the eggs from home, and I made some snacks.

The pastries may not look great, but they're from the heart.

Let's take the stuff and go find Ji Feng?"

He Huihui came out of the house. She had seen her father and brother leave earlier.

Besides worry, she also thought about her own situation.

She needed to get He Wei married to Ji Feng as soon as possible.

Ji Feng's heart belonged to her, and once He Wei married him, she could control He Wei forever.

He Huihui looked gentle and charming, wearing a light green shirt, her smile harmless.

Listening to her, He Wei felt even more uncomfortable.

She shook off He Huihui's hand: "Enough, are you and Ji Feng dating, or am I? You're always following us around, don't you find it annoying? Making food today, talking about ancient and modern things tomorrow, what are you trying to do?

I'm telling you..."

Just as He Wei was about to warn her, she heard Ji Feng's voice.

"He Wei, what are you doing?"

Ji Feng came over and pulled He Wei aside. He had a rebellious look, matching his personality.

His complexion was fair, and when he raised an eyebrow, he exuded a bit of a rogue charm.

"Ji Feng, don't be angry, it's my fault. Xiao Vi is right, I overstepped the boundaries. I just felt a connection with you and wanted to help ease the tension between you two, so I kept following you.

She's so upset, it must be my mistake.

I won't follow you today."

He Huihui looked pitiful.

Ji Feng glanced at He Wei, then at the pitiful He Huihui, frowning deeply: "You've disappointed me. If you don't like me talking to her, stay home. We have nothing in common, and going out with you is boring.

I'm leaving."

Ji Feng turned to leave.

He Wei hadn't expected that without He Huihui, he wouldn't even want to see her.

In that moment, her pride and love for him made her burst into tears: "Ji Feng, if you ignore me today, never bother me again!"

"I’m done with this." Ji Feng’s attitude was even worse than hers.

Seeing that the plan was about to be ruined, He Huihui quickly stopped him. "Ji Feng, you’ve gone too far!"

As she spoke, she slapped him across the face.

Ji Feng had always liked He Huihui, and seeing her cry and hit him, he panicked.

"I…" He wanted to explain.

He Huihui confronted him, "Have you forgotten what you promised me? You said you would be with Wei Wei and treat her well."

How could Ji Feng forget? It was because Huihui had begged him to be with He Wei that he had pursued her.

But who knew it would turn out like this…

On one side, the three of them were in chaos.

On the other side, He Youde brought Old Wang’s entire family to the restaurant. Looking at the dishes they ordered, he almost wanted to leave on the spot.

But he didn’t dare to. Meeting Wang Shoucheng again, He Youde no longer had the same authority as before.

Most importantly, he still relied on his brother-in-law.

"You’re here for something, right? Just say it. I hope this is the last time you ask me for anything. Don’t push your luck; don’t think I’m afraid of you," He Youde gritted his teeth and threatened them.

The whole family was eating, but only Wang Shoucheng smiled. "Not at all. We’re just simple people. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have taken in your nephew and raised him back then. Raising a child was so expensive in those days.

You’re all people we can’t afford to offend.

A few words from you, and you could get us jobs.

I was thinking, could you arrange jobs for our whole family? If our lives improve, we won’t need to come here anymore, right?"
