Chapter 317

At the mention of He Huihui, He Wei frowned.

"Hao Ming, don't wrong me. There's nothing improper between Huihui and me," Ji Feng said angrily.

He then turned to explain to He Wei.

"Wei Wei, there's nothing between Huihui and me. I didn't know how to make things right with you, so I went to her for help. It was also her encouragement that gave me the courage to come back to you. She's a good girl. Even after the mess last time, she was still willing to lend a hand.

Please don't misunderstand."

The way he hurriedly explained made him look even more defensive.

He Zhifei and Qi Yingying looked at each other, both of them even more determined to get rid of him. If this guy really married Wei Wei, her life would be over!

He Wei was convinced by Ji Feng's explanation. She looked at his face and found it hard to refuse him.

She just liked him, liked how he was different from others.

"Dad, Mom..." This time, He Wei was wiser. Tears welled up in her eyes.

Qi Yingying felt her heart ache seeing her like that.

He Zhifei also frowned.

Looking at his daughter, and then at that detestable Ji Feng, he didn't agree.

But he did change his tone to explain to his daughter, "Wei Wei, this Ji Feng is not suitable for you."

"Uncle He, I..." Ji Feng wanted to ask what was unsuitable.

He Zhifei didn't want to hear his questions and instead asked Ji Feng, "Ji Feng, let me ask you. If you truly care for Wei Wei, why did you return home with your grandmother after we refused you last time?

He Wei argued with me and Aunt Qi countless times because of you.

And what did you do for her? Your grandmother said no, so you chose to cut off contact.

Now you're here again, saying you have feelings for He Wei. But from my perspective, I don't see it.

Feelings aren't just talk. You can fool my daughter with your sweet talk, but you won't fool us."

"Dad!" He Wei cried out.

"Wei Wei, don't be unreasonable. Your father is right. I’m being honest with you. We've already picked a suitable match for you. He's honest and reliable, a good choice for a stable life.

Once you two meet and feel it's right, we'll arrange your marriage.

As for Ji Feng, forget about it!"

Qi Yingying's attitude was also firm.

She had always spoiled her daughter and was determined not to let her marry someone as undependable as Ji Feng.

"I'm not getting married! If I can't marry Ji Feng, I won't marry anyone."

He Wei shouted frantically at her parents.

He Zhifei was also enraged by his daughter's hysterical behavior: "Fine, if you don't want to marry, then just stay at home. We can support you for the rest of your life, if necessary. I’d rather keep you at home forever than let you marry Ji Feng.

Ji Feng, leave our house right now and never come back again.

I’ve already said it: my daughter has no future with you.

Ji Feng felt utterly humiliated. It was all due to Huihui’s idea.

She made him lose face, and things didn’t work out.

Even if Huihui’s conditions aren’t ideal, as long as he was willing, they could rely on themselves after marriage.

Why did he have to lose face like this?

Ji Feng's temper also flared up, and he was about to leave.

But just as he reached the door, he encountered He Huihui, her father, and her brother.

Seeing these people arrive, Qi Yingying’s already bad mood worsened.

She glared at her husband, demanding an explanation.

Didn’t we agree that, except for holidays, they weren’t allowed to visit?

Why were they here now?

Qi Yingying was furious, and He Zhifei was also puzzled.

He hadn’t been in contact with the third brother’s family, so why were they here?

At the door, He Huihui, noticing Ji Feng’s grim expression, guessed that things weren’t going well.

She cursed inwardly. If it weren’t for his good family background and He Wei’s affection for him, would she even need to coax Ji Feng?

Yet he couldn’t even manage such a simple matter.

"Third brother is here, come on in." He Quan, who had been observing, finally saw some action from his third son and even smiled.

Upon hearing this, He Youde remained at the door, looking embarrassed and guilty: "Dad... I, I know they don’t want to see me, but I had no other choice but to come."

He Quan had already been informed by his son and was now playing along with his third son.

He looked at his eldest son with sadness: "Oldest son, since Youde is already here, can you bear to see him standing outside?"

"Dad, they’ve already driven my son away, ruining his life. We only agreed not to let them come over, and now, just a few days later, they’re here?

How could I, along with Old He, bear to let them in?"

Qi Yingying, fearing her husband might actually let them in, preemptively took action.

Hearing his wife's words, He Zhifei also hardened his heart.

He looked at He Youde standing at the door. "Youde, if you have something to say, just say it from there. I’m all ears. Once you’re done, leave quickly."

He Youde cursed the couple silently. He didn’t expect them to let him in; he came here for the sake of Xiao Tian and Huihui.

"Big brother, my wife is sick. Our house is in chaos right now. The two kids are at home, and I can’t concentrate on work. This house is bigger than ours, and it’s a bit closer to where the two kids work.

Could Huihui and Xiao Tian stay here?

They’ll pay rent every month, is that alright?"

He Youde humbled himself.

"Your wife is sick? How is she?" He Zhifei asked with concern.

He Youde felt guilty but put on a sad face. "It’s a chronic condition, a problem from years back. Big brother and sister-in-law, please help us out."

Qi Yingying felt extremely disgusted. What do you mean by ‘helping’ him?

Isn’t this just like before?

"Old He, we don’t have any spare room now. Look at our rooms—they’re all taken. He Ming is staying in the study room. If Xiao Tian and Huihui come over, where will they stay?"

Qi Yingying didn’t outright refuse but pointed out the reality.

He Zhifei knew the current situation and was about to turn them down.

He Huihui was already crying and begging. "Uncle, please let us stay here. I can sleep on the sofa. My brother can sleep on the ground. He’s not afraid of the cold. With us at home, Dad has to look after us.

My aunt and uncle are also coming over to help with my mom. There’s really no space left at home now."

"How can I let you sleep on the sofa? You’re just a young lady..." He Zhifei frowned.
