Chapter 245

He Wei didn't dare to think of other possibilities; she only hoped to hold onto the person she liked right now. Ji Feng was handsome, and unlike others who were kind to her, he was the only one willing to call her, scold her, and speak the truth to her.

Only when she was with him did she feel real.

Moreover, he always protected her, and everyone in the courtyard was afraid of him.

Although her parents didn't approve of him, she did.

He would definitely do well in the future.

In the courtyard, those who excelled in studies and were considered successful by their elders didn't measure up to him in her eyes.

Ji Feng also intended to marry He Wei, but the He family had always disagreed. If he pushed too hard, it would make him look too eager and lose face.

So he decided to put the matter on hold for a while, hoping He Wei would like him even more.

Now that He Wei brought it up, Ji Feng didn't refuse.

He took the initiative to reach out and held He Wei's hand: "Alright, I'll go over once Aunt Qi returns. Don't worry, I'll be good to you in the future."

Behind them, Yu Cheng, who had been watching the entire scene, had an expression that was nothing short of spectacular.

He had seen outrageous things before, but never anything as outrageous as He Wei!

Was she crazy?

What was so good about Ji Feng, the little tyrant? What did she see in his bad temper? In his lack of affection for her?

Anyone with eyes could see that Ji Feng didn't like her!

He Wei's lips curled up, the warmth of the hand beside her made her feel at ease.

Recent events at home had left her feeling troubled, with constant arguments making her not want to stay there anymore.

She wanted to get married, to marry the man she loved.

With Ji Feng, her parents wouldn't neglect her either.

As they walked past Yu Cheng, holding hands, He Wei gave him a smug look, as if saying, "He clearly loves me."

Behind them, He Huihui followed, head down, her expression unclear to others.

Yu Cheng felt that all three of them were problematic!

He found himself completely out of place with these three!

In the county,

Bai Xiuxiu was working when Qi Yingying kept looking around outside the office, occasionally waving at her direction.

It seemed like she had something to ask her, but also as if she didn't want others in the office to know.

"Director Wang, can I go out for a bit?" Bai Xiuxiu asked Director Wang.

Director Wang didn't ask much: "Go ahead, just don't come back too late. You need to finish your work today."

"Don't worry, Director, I'll make sure to finish," Bai Xiuxiu said and went outside.

Seeing her come out, Qi Yingying was a bit dissatisfied.

This Xiao Bai was really slow; she had been gesturing for a long time, how could she not notice?

Really.

If her eldest son hadn't been lost from a young age, he would never have married her.

Qi Yingying now found everything about Bai Xiuxiu annoying.

Bai Xiuxiu ignored the critical gaze and took the initiative to ask: "Is there something you need? If it's related to the office, it's better to talk to Director Wang."

"It's not about the office, it's personal, no, it should be called family business. Xiao Bai, take me to your husband now. I have something important to tell both of you."

Qi Yingying's attitude was very serious, as if this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, which left Bai Xiuxiu speechless.

But since Qi Yingying was the fish they had caught with Wang Qinghe,

"Alright, Aunt Qi, follow me, I'll take you to him," Bai Xiuxiu didn't ask further.

This made Qi Yingying even more uncomfortable. As she followed Bai Xiuxiu, she couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you curious about what family business it is? What does my family have to do with yours? Are you just going to take me to your husband like this?"

"If you want to say it, you will. Why should I ask? Besides, I'll know once we see Qinghe. It's better to hurry up and walk faster."

Bai Xiuxiu explained with a smile, leaving Qi Yingying frustrated.

When they arrived at Wang Qinghe's factory, the guard recognized Bai Xiuxiu immediately. She had visited once before, and there was no one in the area who looked as good as her.

So she was memorable.

It didn’t take long for Wang Qinghe to help find her.

When he saw his wife coming with Qi Yingying, Wang Qinghe had a pretty good idea of what was going on.

"Qinghe, Aunt Qi has something important to discuss with you. She says it’s a family matter and asked me to bring her here," Bai Xiuxiu explained the situation so that Wang Qinghe would know where they stood.

Hearing this from Bai Xiuxiu, Qi Yingying seemed a bit haughty.

She looked at Wang Qinghe, her gaze still gentle, and her voice choked with emotion: "Qinghe, you might not believe me, but... you could be my child.

Many years ago, I lost my child in Níng County. At that time, your current parents went there.

They had connections with your father’s younger brother, your third uncle. It’s very likely that your third uncle arranged for them to take you away.

I’ve been searching for you all these years.

It wasn’t until I came here a few days ago and saw you that I felt it might really be you. I also inquired about your family situation.

The people in your home have always treated you poorly, haven’t they?

That’s because they aren’t your real parents.

They don’t look like you, but you share some similarities with my husband and me.

I’m not asking you to accept this right away.

In a few days, I’ll bring my family to see you.

I hope you... will consider it carefully.

My family is much better off than yours, far better than you can imagine."

Wang Qinghe found himself almost laughing. He thought she might say something touching, but instead, she just seemed to think he should choose her because of better conditions?

"Aunt Qi, I don’t need any better conditions. My life is already good, and my wife and children are doing well. As for what you’re saying, I’m not interested.

You don’t need to bring anyone to see me. I’m not interested in your conditions or your relatives.

Whatever you can offer, I don’t think it will move me."

With that, Wang Qinghe took Bai Xiuxiu’s hand and prepared to leave.

Qi Yingying was stunned; this was not what she had expected.

After all these years of hardship, wouldn’t he want a better life? And given how badly his adoptive mother treated him, wouldn’t he yearn for his real mother?

"Child, please, don’t reject me so quickly. You’ve been away from your true family for so long, you don’t understand how important a good family is. We can make up for everything you’ve missed.

Whether you agree or not, I will come to see you again.

Then, you can decide."

Qi Yingying’s earlier confidence had faded.

Wang Qinghe glanced at her, not bothering to respond. At this point, responding would likely change nothing.

He wanted more than just empty promises. Otherwise, this whole ordeal would be pointless.
