Chapter 361

Lately, Second Brother has been deliberately causing trouble, and it's not all her fault that she and Xu Niandi don't get along. Recently, Xu Niandi and the two of them have been using her pregnancy as an excuse to get all sorts of perks around here.

The incident yesterday was clearly their fault, and now they actually want her to leave?

Who do they think they're giving attitude to?

"Second Brother, it doesn't really have anything to do with us if your wife's family is coming over. Where did you get this crazy idea from?" He Ming was frustrated, not understanding where he got such a malicious thought.

"Hah! Grandpa heard your in-laws were coming and said he'd go out so they wouldn't feel uncomfortable. He even said that when you all come back, it would be fine if you went out for a while.

We're all family, so there's no need to worry about inconveniencing anyone.

And yet, are you any better than Grandpa?"

He Cheng sneered.

His wife's family had already taken so much money from the household, so naturally, they felt too embarrassed to visit. But they still wanted to see Niandi and find out how she was doing here.

He had to save face for Niandi, no matter what.

Upon hearing this, He Ming immediately had nothing to say. So that's why such a request was suddenly made, because of Grandpa!

Grandpa probably had something to do and found this excuse that dragged them into it.

If they didn't go out now, their relationship with He Cheng would only grow more distant.

"It's Grandpa's business if he wants to go out. I'm not going out, though. I made a plan with Ji Feng to come over and keep me company today. Yesterday, you all beat people up, and now you want to chase us out?

No such luck!

Everyone in the family knows that her family has taken a lot from us.

If they asked for so much back then, why should they care about being embarrassed now?"

He Wei finished speaking and went back to her room.

"He Ming, what do you think she means? Why has she stayed at home for so long? She should have married out long ago and gotten out of this house!"

He Cheng was fuming.

He Ming felt a headache coming on. "He Cheng, you should say less. We really don't have any reason to go out. If we all leave and you can't control her family, what if they cause trouble here?

How would you explain it to Mom and Dad when they get back?

At least if we're here, they might behave themselves a bit."

After speaking, He Ming quickly escaped as well.

Xu Niandi hadn't said a word until now, but after everyone left, she quietly began to cry.

"What's wrong, my dear?" He Cheng asked, wiping her tears with a pained expression.

Xu Niandi's voice was gentle and wronged, "I'm fine, Cheng ge. I just feel like I've let you down. My family... they're like that... everyone in this house looks down on them.

They want to come over, and you're suffering because of them."

"If I didn’t truly love you and desperately want to marry you, I wouldn’t have lied to you back then. And you wouldn’t feel so wronged now."

"Don’t talk nonsense. If you weren’t marrying me, then who would you marry? Besides, their issues have nothing to do with you. Trust me, I won’t let you be hurt. If your family wants to visit, they can come in the future."

He Cheng was incredibly sweet to his wife.

Seeing Xu Niandi with red, tear-streaked eyes, he felt a strong sense of responsibility.

Niandi and the baby in her belly were his true family.

Everyone else had their own motives, but he needed to focus on what was best for Niandi and the baby.

After spending some time in his room, He Ming knocked on He Wei’s door.

When he walked in, He Wei was clearly upset.

"He Wei, I think Grandpa’s got something to do with what happened today," he said seriously.

He Wei was taken aback. "What do you mean by that?"

"Didn’t you hear what He Cheng said just now? He only thought we should do it after Grandfather brought it up. I think Grandfather is biased towards Third Uncle and still wants to create discord in our family."

Lately, He Ming had been watching the family dynamics, and it was making him feel increasingly disillusioned.

"Even if you want to defend He Cheng, you don’t need to make such a weak excuse. Instead of making excuses, why don’t you help me find Ji Feng?"

The thought of Ji Feng brought a smile to He Wei’s face.

He felt bad for him but was also happy.

After all, he got hurt because of her.

"Alright, I'll go find him for you. Ji Feng fought for you yesterday, so he seems like a decent guy. We should invite him over more often," He Ming went along with what He Wei said, trying to make his invitation to Ji Feng seem less strange.

He Wei noticed that recently, He Ming had changed like a different person, saying things that she loved to hear.

"Brother, please don't change back to the annoying person you used to be."

He Wei sincerely asked him.

He Ming was speechless.

But he still went to find Ji Feng.

On the other side.

On the train heading to the county, He Youde felt uneasy.

He looked at his father, who was sitting steadily: "Dad, are we really going to the county to contact that family? They are pretty unreasonable, as you know.

If we go to them on our own, won't we end up doing whatever they say?"

Just thinking about it made He Youde feel frustrated.

If it weren't for Old Wang’s family, they wouldn't have so many problems.

He Quan didn’t seem to care about He Youde’s concerns.

He glanced at his son, "You always rely on asking others for help, but have you considered whether they even want Wang Qinghe to succeed? Wang Qinghe was treated terribly by their family, and now that he's back in the provincial capital, he hasn't even settled down yet, so he hasn't come back for revenge.

But what about the future?

If he settles down in the provincial capital and becomes successful, your brother won't let the Old Wangs slide, and Wang Qinghe won't either.

Right now, you and the Old Wangs are both thorns in their side.

They're just as anxious as you are.

Besides, we don't need them to do much, just make Wang Qinghe and his wife in the provincial capital miserable.

When someone's stressed out, they can't focus as well.

We're doing this to maintain a good image of He Tian with your brother."

He Quan's words sobered He Youde up a bit.

"I got so worked up I couldn’t think straight, Dad, you're right," He Youde said with a gloomy expression.

"Back then, I gave them a large sum of money. If that money hadn’t gone to them, my life would be easier now," He Youde felt like cursing the Old Wangs for their shamelessness.

"Enough, don't bring up the past. We’re here to talk about Wang Qinghe with them.

We managed to send him away before, we can do it again.

But these dirty tasks shouldn't be done by us.

We’ll use the Old Wangs as our scapegoats, don't start a conflict with them over other matters."

He Quan believed that the Old Wangs, along with Wang Qinghe, his wife, and their two children, should disappear from the provincial capital.

No matter where they go, as long as it's not staying in the provincial capital.

They’re getting in the way too much.

The He family was scheming against the Old Wangs.

Meanwhile, the Old Wangs were dealing with their own problems.

Today, their factory was on holiday, and all the Old Wang family members were at home.

Zhou Jiaojiao brought up the idea of going to the city again, "Dad, now that our business is back to normal, what about me and Qingqi moving to the city?"
