    Chapter 334

    "I can see for myself. Why don’t you think carefully about how Ji Feng acts around He Huihui when they’re both there?" Bai Xiuxiu asked him in return.

    It wasn’t just about what I saw. Big Brother Yu had noticed something before and mentioned his suspicions about He Wei and Ji Feng to Qinghe.

    Added to what happened yesterday, it was hard to see it as innocent.

    He Ming quickly ate a few bites of pancake, trying to calm himself.

    All this info left him stunned!

    His mind began to recall what it was like when He Huihui and Ji Feng were both present.

    The more he thought about it, the worse his expression became, and the more restless he felt.

    After recalling everything, he abruptly stood up, teeth clenched in anger. "I'm going to find that bastard! If I don’t beat him so hard he’s crying for his parents, I’m not part of the He family."

    He was about to leave.

    "If you beat him, you might get arrested. Or maybe ask for more dowry from the He family? Make He Wei more eager to marry him?" Qinghe countered.

    He Ming froze, looking frustrated. "Big brother, what should I do? I can’t just sit by and watch that jerk marry He Wei, can I? She’s family after all, and why should the He family let that scumbag take advantage?"

    "I can’t stand by and watch."

    "So, you should invite him over more often. There will be opportunities. When He Wei catches on to the situation between He Huihui and Ji Feng, she won’t be able to fool herself anymore," Bai Xiuxiu explained her plan.

    Hearing this, He Ming also thought it was feasible.

    He calmed down considerably and finished his soup in one gulp, then formally asked Bai Xiuxiu and Qinghe for help. "Big brother, big sister-in-law, I know you two don’t have much feeling for the family, but I still need to ask for your help with He Wei’s situation.

    Please help me come up with a plan.

    If I talk to our parents now, they won’t listen—they were furious with He Wei yesterday.

    As for Second Brother, he clearly wants He Wei to get married and face some hardship.

    But if she ends up unhappy, she’ll come back and cause trouble for the family.

    If you help me out this time, I’ll return the favor in the future."

    He Ming wasn’t sure. For big brother and big sister-in-law, the He family might be less favorable than strangers.

    But he had no other options now.

    If he had to rely on himself, he would just beat Ji Feng up.

    "As long as you do what we say, she won’t marry Ji Feng," Qinghe wasn’t interested in the fate of the He family, but he was interested in the benefits he could gain from this situation.

    "Thank you, big brother and big sister-in-law. Besides getting Ji Feng to come over, what else can I do?" He Ming felt that just doing this wouldn’t be enough to set his mind at ease.

    Is this really going to work?

    "Try to build a better relationship with He Wei and share some stories about guys like Ji Feng with her. I’ll tell you, and you can pass them on to He Wei," Bai Xiuxiu said, much to his surprise, and began telling stories about unfaithful men that were similar to the situation between He Wei and Ji Feng.

    It wasn’t until Bai Xiuxiu and Qinghe had to go to work that she stopped.

    After hearing these stories, I don't know how He Wei is feeling, but He Ming is really losing it now.

    Ji Feng is just like those guys in the stories, trying to deceive He Wei to the point where she might lose her life.

    And then there's Huihui from Uncle's place—she definitely doesn't have good intentions.

    Ji Feng has come over twice, and she was here both times!

    In front of the family, Ji Feng treats Huihui differently, and who knows what happens behind closed doors.

    No one in the family even considered it. After all, who would expect Ji Feng to be so bold and disrespectful to He Wei!

    They're not even married yet, and he's already acting like this.

    A few days ago, He Ming started getting a bad feeling, but he didn't want to think too much about it.

    Now, he can't stop thinking about it, and he's sure it's all a scam!

    It must be.

    He can't just stand by.

    As Bai Xiuxiu and Wang Qinghe left for work, He Ming hurried out as well.

    "You just ate, slow down." Wei Pozi was cleaning up when she saw He Ming in such a hurry and couldn't help but give him some advice.

    He Ming yelled "thanks" and took off like a shot.

    Since Bai Xiuxiu and Wang Qinghe's new place wasn't far from the He family's house, He Ming got home in no time.

    He didn't stop until he got inside.

    He was panting from exhaustion.

    At home, He Wei was sitting on a small sofa, picking hair ties. Seeing him rushing back, she was a little concerned. "What's wrong with you? Is there a dog chasing you?"

    "No, it's just... it's just you... where's Mom?" He Ming almost impulsively told her to stay away from Ji Feng.

    But thinking about how even their parents couldn't persuade her, and what his older brother and sister-in-law had taught him,

    he held back and asked about Mom instead.

    Mentioning their mom, He Wei's face lit up with joy, her eyes filled with happiness.

    Just like before she started dating Ji Feng, she was sunny and proud.

    For a second, He Ming thought He Wei was back to her old self.

    But the next second, when He Wei spoke, he fell silent.

    Her tone was happy, without any of the previous anxiety, and even carried some anticipation for the future. "Mom took me to Ji Feng's house this morning and then went to work. She and Ji Feng's grandmother talked for a long time about our future.

    The elders really think thoroughly. In the future, as long as I'm happy with Ji Feng, everything will be fine.

    Since you don't have a room anymore, once I get married, you can live in mine."

    "Ah? W-when are you getting married?" He Ming's heart sank. He thought He Wei had come to her senses, but it turned out it was because they had set a wedding date?

    "We're going to get the marriage certificate in five days. It's a bit rushed, I know. But it's not a good time to have a wedding banquet, so this way of getting married is fine. As long as I can marry Ji Feng, I don't care about anything else." Although He Wei said this, there was still some sadness in her heart.

    Most couples take lots of wedding photos and even go on a honeymoon by train.

    But for her, it’s like none of that matters.

    They said Ji Feng’s starting a new job soon, so they can’t waste time on all this stuff.

    “How can that be okay? This is too rushed. I’ll talk to Mom tonight and make sure you stay at home a bit longer. Right now, we’re not in a position to buy you many new clothes. Wait until Mom and Dad get their pay, and then you can get married.

    It’s too early now.

    Besides, his family shouldn’t be so hasty either. After all, his family is doing pretty well for themselves.

    You’re going to be their daughter-in-law, not just any old thing.”

    He Ming, though young, looked surprisingly mature with his furrowed brow, almost endearing.

    He Wei never expected that He Ming would be the one who cared about her the most. She was really touched. “But…”

    “You can’t lose your head over this. Even if you’re eager to marry Ji Feng, it won’t hurt to wait a little longer. Anyway, everything’s already set, so what do you have to worry about?” He Ming hurriedly continued to persuade her.

    He Wei was stunned.

    Yes, and what did she have to fear now?

    She had been worried her family would try to stop her from being with Ji Feng, but now that they’ve agreed, what was left to fear?
