Chapter 246

"You... weren't you supposed to go back to work? Why aren't you heading back to the factory?" Qi Yingying saw Wang Qinghe's resolute attitude.

He even left with Bai Xiuxiu and didn't return to his factory.

Was he planning to skip work?

This couldn't be allowed. She and Old He were not the kind of people who would neglect their duties, and in the future, this child would be following her back to the provincial capital.

If his work situation here was reported to the provincial capital, being absent without leave would disgrace both her and Old He.

She and Old He were already embarrassed enough because of those three children.

They couldn't afford any more embarrassment!

Wang Qinghe frowned and turned to look at her: "Isn't that none of your business?"

"I..." Qi Yingying wanted to say she was his mother, but Wang Qinghe's attitude clearly showed he wasn't willing to cooperate.

She had planned to use some benefits to win him over, then talk about other matters.

But she got stuck at the first step.

Now it seemed she could only wait for Old He to come.

She would have to tell Old He when she returned in the afternoon.

And she needed to ask He Youde about the mess he had caused today. There would be no peace in this house today.

She had to take advantage of this opportunity to drive them out.

Qi Yingying pondered how to maximize her gains and stopped standing there foolishly.

When she returned to the guesthouse, Xiao Tan had been waiting for quite a while.

Seeing her return, Xiao Tan was somewhat anxious: "Sister Qi, where did you go? I thought you were lost, I was so worried."

"We're about to head to the train station. Sister Qi, quickly pack your things up.

If we're late, you'll have to stay another day."

Here, Xiao Tan urged Qi Yingying to pack her luggage. Qi Yingying was quick and promptly packed her things and followed along.

In her heart, she hoped that when she returned home, the people from the Wang family who went to the provincial capital to seek advantages hadn't succeeded yet.

Meanwhile, in the provincial capital.

At a state-owned restaurant, the entire Wang family was ordering all kinds of meat, which made He Youde and his father, He Quan, who came to discuss matters with them, speechless.

He Quan knew the Wang family was shameless, but he didn't expect them to still try to take advantage even at such a time.

Would they be able to finish all this meat?

Zhou Jiaojiao watched the behavior of her family and felt ashamed.

She had planned to have a serious discussion with He Youde today.

Wasn't this just making them look bad?

"Let's get down to business first. We can eat later," He Youde said, not wanting to stay here.

His sister-in-law would be back soon, and he still needed to apologize to her.

"We were all too tired yesterday, so we refused to discuss anything with you.

Don't be upset." After eating a piece of braised pork, Wang Shoucheng finally smiled and spoke.

"We're not petty people. Today, we mainly want to discuss the issue of sealing the deal from years ago."

He Youde's face darkened; he hated this family.

"Sealing the deal? What you did back then was so dishonorable..." Wang Shoucheng's mind raced with ideas.

Yesterday, he was still worried if Old Fifth's wife had gone too far and offended someone.

But he never expected that this family would still be willing to come over under such circumstances today.

This meant they were really afraid.

So he should ask for more.

As soon as He Youde heard this, he knew they wanted more. He was angry at their audacity and his tone became harsh.

"Don't think about extorting me. Let me be honest with you, I've already told my brother.

My brother and I are blood relatives, and he has forgiven me.

I came today with his approval. He said we should agree on a reasonable settlement fee. We don't want to hear these rumors anymore.

If we do, we will sue you for defamation.

Apart from that child, you have no evidence. We are preparing to recognize that child.

Don't think we know nothing. Your eldest son is actually my older brother's son.

I've already had someone investigate this.

Now, if you're willing to take the benefit and leave, listen to me, and I'll give you some benefits."

"If you’re unwilling? Then you’ll get nothing."

He Youde’s attitude was as tough as it could be, no longer showing any sign of the previous appeasement.

After all, his elder brother already knew and had even said he forgave him.

As for his sister-in-law? Where else could she cause trouble?

His elder brother didn’t care anymore.

At worst, he would just visit his elder brother less often, but with Father around, Xiao Tian’s matters could still be handled with his elder brother’s help.

He Youde decided to come clean with the family, and to everyone's surprise, Wang Qinghe’s long-lost biological father actually forgave him.

This was something no one in the Old Wang family had expected.

How could he forgive so easily?

Everyone was at a loss.

Wang Shoucheng was momentarily at a loss for words; he had originally intended to extort some money from He Youde.

Now that the other party wasn’t afraid anymore, they were even willing to pay them off.

This...

Zhou Jiaojiao was also caught off guard, but she quickly made up her mind. She smiled at He Youde.

"Uncle He, since you’ve said this much, we have no objections. If you want us to keep quiet about this, it must be because your family is afraid of losing face, right?

We have nothing to lose, so if you want us to say nothing, at least solve four job problems for us.

Otherwise, you lose face, and we might as well have someone go to jail, which could save some food."

Zhou Jiaojiao spoke with a sense of reckless abandon.

He Youde wanted to curse at their shamelessness. How could this family be so shameless?

He Quan was also stunned. This woman didn’t look old, but how could she have such devious thoughts?

"Four seems like too many," He Quan frowned.

"We want four, and not one less. We won’t let you off easy. You all are people with reputations, but we aren’t.

So what if we lose face?"

Zhou Jiaojiao had already grasped the psychology of this family.

After all, since they had forgiven him, the fact that this family was still trying to make them keep quiet clearly showed they were afraid of losing face.

He Youde frowned, unsure whether to agree.

This matter...

"Four jobs it is, but if you dare to come again, we can give you jobs, and we can take them away just as easily.

Our family isn’t one to be extorted endlessly."

Seeing his son silent, He Quan spoke on his behalf.

After all, the eldest brother had ways to arrange a few jobs, and everyone could live in peace.

Wouldn’t that be better?

Dealing with these people, the next step was to handle the eldest brother’s wife.
