Chapter 384

Qi Yingying returned home with her daughter and opened the door, only to find that there was no one in the house.

There were still three bowls of noodles sitting on the table.

"Where is everyone?" Qi Yingying was puzzled. Usually, the house would be quite lively at this time, but He Ming was nowhere to be seen today.

"Maybe they're asleep? I'll go find He Ming and Second Brother. They've been idle every day recently, so they should be home," He Wei said as she started looking for them, planning to scare He Ming a little. She moved stealthily.

She checked the room where Grandpa and He Tian usually stay, but no one was there.

He Ming's study was also empty.

Second Brother’s room was empty too, along with his wife. That left only one room.

They wouldn’t be in my room, would they?

"Mom, it seems like no one is really home," He Wei called out in frustration.

"If they’re not here, no big deal. You go ahead and rest, and I’ll get dinner started. Tonight is your elder brother's first day learning Traditional Chinese Medicine. I don't know how he's doing yet. I was also thinking of having He Ming wait outside your elder sister-in-law's workplace to stop your elder brother and his wife from heading straight home.

I wanted them to come over here.

But He Ming isn't home."

Qi Yingying complained in frustration. He Wei gave a casual reply and headed back to her room to change into something comfortable and rest for a bit.

However, the moment she entered the room, her emotions froze for an instant, and she stood frozen in shock at the door.

On the bed, He Huihui was hurriedly getting dressed, and by the window, Ji Feng hadn't even properly put on his pants yet, preparing to jump out of the window.

"Weiwei? Why are you standing at the door?" Qi Yingying took out a cabbage, planning to make some cabbage and egg pancakes for dinner.

But then she saw her daughter standing frozen at her own room's doorway.

She was a little worried.

"Weiwei, don't misunderstand, we..." He Huihui tried to explain awkwardly.

"Slut! Despicable couple!"

He Wei finally snapped out of her shock, screaming as she lunged into the room, pulling Ji Feng away from the window and kicking him fiercely several times. "I'll let you jump out the window, I'll let you!"

"Weiwei, what are you doing? Don't hit him, it's not his fault," He Huihui quickly calmed down from her initial panic.

Damn it, He Ming said He Wei wouldn’t be back until evening—what time is it now?

Now, any chance of a future between He Wei and Ji Feng was probably shot.

She had to protect Ji Feng and make sure he stayed loyal to her.

Otherwise, if Grandma Ji didn’t allow him to marry her, he might just listen.

Thinking this, He Huihui threw herself over Ji Feng, preventing He Wei from continuing her attack.

Ji Feng’s mind was still racing, trying to process what had just happened. How did we get caught? Why did I let Huihui talk me into this…?

What can we do now?

Qi Yingying, who was busy with the cabbage, finally noticed something was wrong and hurried over.

At the sight, she nearly fainted.

"You, you two, how could you not be dead yet?" Qi Yingying cursed in anger, pointing at Ji Feng and He Huihui.

"Wei Wei, please listen to me first," Ji Feng, kicked until his vision blurred, quickly regained his composure and spoke up.

"Explain? What do you want to explain? Explain how you ended up in bed with that bitch He Huihui?" He Wei, who had always been patient with Ji Feng, was now trembling with rage.

This was the man she loved, the one she had always hoped to spend her life with.

And He Huihui, living in her house, she had even considered giving up half of her room for her. But this bitch wasn't satisfied; she even wanted to sleep with her man.

"It's not like that, Huihui isn't a bitch, I and she..."

Ji Feng still tried to defend He Huihui.

"Shut up! Neither of you is any good, one a scumbag, the other a slut! This is a moral issue! This isn't over, I won't let you off." He Wei, who once loved Ji Feng so much, now hated him just as deeply after being deceived.

Fortunately, they hadn't gotten married yet. If they had, what would she have done?

No wonder these two were always on the same page, always saying it was for their own good, or that she had misunderstood.

"What misunderstanding? They were playing me for a fool."

Qi Yingying was also furious. She entered her daughter's room and, without saying a word, slapped both He Huihui and Ji Feng twice before slamming the door shut. "You two are nothing but scum."

Immediately after, Qi Yingying shut the window tightly to block out any noise. "Wei Wei, go find your father and bring your older brother and his wife over. I need them here to help."

Qi Yingying had originally wanted to say, go find He Ming and He Cheng, but I have no idea where those two are right now. She had no choice but to try her luck and find her eldest son first.

If her eldest son refused, then they would figure out another way.

"Mom..." He Wei was crying so hard she could barely breathe.

"Alright, go now," Qi Yingying urged her daughter to find help.

Turning around, Qi Yingying faced He Huihui's pitiful expression. "Don’t you dare act all pitiful in front of me! You've already done such a thing in my daughter's room with her fiancé, what's there to pity about you?"

"Aunt Qi..." Ji Feng wanted to say something in defense of He Huihui. After all, he’s engaged to her.

"And you!" Qi Yingying spat. "You said you loved my daughter and begged to marry her. Just a few days ago, you were insisting on getting married right away, not even willing to wait a few days. I thought you really loved Wei Wei, but is this how you love her?

Your grandmother acts like she’s better than everyone else, walking around with her nose in the air. She dotes on you like you're her precious gem, but she’s clearly blind to who you really are.

I'm telling you two, this isn’t going to be brushed off so easily."

Saying that, Qi Yingying locked the door from the outside, trapping the three of them inside to prevent them from escaping.

It took He Wei less than an hour to gather everyone back.

When He Zhifei was called back, he was still in the dark. His daughter had been crying all the way, saying something was wrong at home. After finding him, she insisted he go with her to look for his son and daughter-in-law.

On the way, he ran into his younger son at the gate of his elder son's factory.

Along the way, they all took turns asking He Wei, but she remained silent, only crying.

By the time he got home, he still had no idea what had happened.

Compared to He Zhifei, who knew nothing, Bai Xiuxiu, Wang Qinghe, and He Ming were all well aware of the situation.

Bai Xiuxiu was quite surprised that He Ming had succeeded on his first try. Such a level of scheming always came with a certain probability. It might not work this time, and they would have to wait for the next opportunity—this was very normal.

She didn't expect He Ming to have such good luck and succeed right away.

Wang Qinghe was also taken aback, but more than that, he felt anticipation.

He wanted to see how He Zhifei would choose between his daughter and his niece's family.

"Where's your mother? Why did you come back alone? Haven't you cried enough yet? What exactly happened?" He Zhifei, confused by the tears, demanded answers from his daughter.
