Chapter 367

He Huihui hadn't gone far when she felt a wave of discomfort in her heart. Today, she had asked Ji Feng why he helped He Wei.

He was evasive, and when he could no longer evade her, he just kept talking about other things.

Then he kissed her repeatedly, making it impossible for her to continue questioning him.

He only promised to marry He Wei as soon as possible and then divorce her, and afterwards, marry Huihui.

But... he never explained why he fought for He Wei.

Could it be that he really liked He Wei?

No, whether he liked He Wei or not, she had to keep him hooked. He must marry her.

To achieve this, she was willing to do whatever it took.

Ji Feng loved being praised. Although He Ming's words were teasing, there was still a sense of satisfaction towards him.

Ji Feng couldn't help but feel happy and started acting up: "If He Wei wants me to die, then I will die. In this life, I only love He Wei. If she's angry and doesn't marry me, I'd rather die."

He said it loudly, making sure He Wei in the kitchen could hear him.

Hearing these words, Huihui felt even more upset.

Although she didn't like Ji Feng that much, after this period of courting, she realized that the best family she could marry into was Ji Feng's family.

And Ji Feng loved her enough, making him her best choice.

She absolutely couldn't lose him.

In the kitchen, He Wei was extremely happy hearing Ji Feng's loud declaration.

Seeing He Huihui come in, He Wei's smile hadn't faded yet: "Huihui, did you hear Ji Feng's words? He... really, why didn't he say these things in front of me?

Why say them behind my back?"

"Maybe he's too shy to say it in front of you? Wei Wei, let me help you cook. Wei Wei, do you think the older brother and his wife are being a bit too much at home?

After all this time, I've never heard them call our parents 'Mom and Dad.'

They don’t treat us like siblings."

He Huihui asked He Wei quietly, remembering that He Wei disliked this sudden older brother and his wife.

It would be perfect if these two could leave the He family for good.

She wondered if Dad and Grandpa had come up with a plan.

He Wei, who was chopping meat, frowned when she heard He Huihui's question.

In the past, she might have gone along with He Huihui and caused a scene. But... He Ming’s words resonated with her. Big brother and his wife hadn’t really caused her any trouble.

Besides, the older brother and his wife seemed closer to He Huihui’s family.

After all, they were related by blood.

After they returned, Dad started treating everyone in the family better than before.

Things he used to give to He Tian and He Huihui were now prioritized for them as well.

Third Uncle won’t be coming back to cause trouble anymore.

With this in mind, He Wei began to suspect something was off with He Huihui. In her own home, was she really badmouthing her older brother and sister-in-law?

That’s way out of line, isn’t it?

"Weiwei, why aren't you saying anything? Did I say something wrong? Actually... I'm standing up for you guys. Dad is treating him much better than he treats you now."

Seeing He Wei's expression change, He Huihui quickly backtracked.

He Wei smiled, "It's alright. I think Dad still treats Big Brother not as well as he treats He Tian. Don’t overthink it. My brother and sister-in-law are good people.

If you keep talking about them like that, I’ll get pissed off.

Aren’t you here to help me cook?

He Huihui felt even more uncomfortable. If it weren’t to avoid Wang Qinghe and Bai Xiuxiu, who would want to be in the kitchen?

Outside, Qi Yingying and He Zhifei returned. Qi Yingying hurriedly grabbed the basket and headed for the kitchen.

"Everyone's back? I was thinking of making dumplings for dinner, but now we'll have to settle for stuffed pancakes." Qi Yingying said gently to her children.

Seeing her eldest son and daughter-in-law, she no longer held the previous bias she had against Bai Xiuxiu.

Mainly because she had been in a good mood these past two days, so she didn’t have the energy to hold any grudges.

"Mom, He Wei is cooking tonight. She said that since Ji Feng is here and that you and Dad have been working hard lately, she wants to show off her skills." He Ming mentioned it to her.

This really touched Qi Yingying. "This child... is becoming more sensible. Old He, could you give me a hand with putting these things away? I’ll go help our Weiwei in the kitchen.

Where are your second son and his wife?"

Qi Yingying first asked her husband for help and then asked about her younger son.

Just as she asked, the two returned from outside.

Xu Niandi’s eyes were slightly red, probably from crying.

He Cheng supported her as they came in.

Seeing their appearance, even He Zhifei, who had been silent since entering the house, couldn’t help but ask, "What happened? Why is your wife crying, He Cheng?"

"Dad, it's a long story, but it's about my wife's younger brother. He’s at the age to get married, but the previous relationship didn’t work out. The girl’s family thought my wife’s brother wasn’t capable enough.

Even though we helped him find a job, it’s not a very prestigious one.

And their family’s house is in pretty bad shape."

He Cheng was also frustrated. Although he didn’t want to get involved with that family, he didn’t want his wife to be upset all the time.

He Zhifei quickly shifted the conversation and turned to his eldest son, "Qinghe, after dinner, I’ll take you to apprentice under a master. You need to perform well. They don’t accept just anyone.

If they test you and you’re not up to par, they won’t agree to take you."

"Don’t worry." Wang Qinghe was confident. He had studied all the necessary books and had a great memory for academic material.

Seeing how confident he was, He Zhifei felt even more pleased.

If his eldest son wasn’t just boasting, it meant he really had some talent.

If he could really become an apprentice, it would make us all look good too.

Not everyone can pull that off.

"Anyone can talk big," He Cheng muttered.

He Zhifei glared at him. "What kind of way is that to talk to your brother? Don’t act up at home. We’ve already given so much money to your wife’s family that it drained our savings. You remember what I told you back then, right?

From now on, their problems are none of your business. I won’t stop you from keeping in touch with them on the sly.

But if you think we’re gonna give more money to support them, forget it."

"Dad, I’m just worried about my wife and the baby," He Cheng retorted.

"If you want to help them, do it on your own. Don’t expect me or your mom to pitch in. You’re old enough to handle this, and that’s final."

Qi Yingying had a soft spot, but she knew there was no point in arguing.

It was better to go help with cooking.

"By the way, Mom and Dad, I haven’t seen Grandpa all day. Did he mention anything to you last night? And He Tian is also missing. Shouldn’t he be off work by now?"
