Chapter 398

"Zhifei? Xiao Tian is already in a vulnerable position staying at your place. How can you speak so carelessly? Didn't you say that these matters have nothing to do with Xiao Tian?"

He Quan couldn't believe his eldest son could speak to Xiao Tian like that.

Did he get kicked in the head by a donkey?

"No one forced He Tian to stay at your place; it was his own choice. Now that Wei Wei is so upset, having He Tian constantly in front of her will indeed remind her of He Huihui.

Telling him to go back to his room doesn't mean sending him away.

What's the issue?

Dad, you shouldn't coddle He Tian too much."

He Zhifei frowned, his mind swirling with Director Zhou's words.

Their family has really suffered because of this!

It’s all because of He Youde.

Now he had to help He Youde raise his son.

And over such a trivial matter, He Tian feels wronged?

"I'm coddling He Tian?" He Quan didn't expect to be criticized as well.

Has He Zhifei gone mad?

He Quan was shocked, and so was Qi Yingying.

Old He... how did he go out and come back like a completely different person?

Was this really the same He Zhifei who used to treat He Tian like an ancestor?

What on earth happened?

Qi Yingying was dying of curiosity.

"He Tian, go back to your room. We need to discuss some private family matters. It’s not appropriate for you to listen in." He Zhifei didn't want to see him at the moment.

He Tian was also shocked. What did his uncle mean?

He couldn't hold his composure and his voice trembled, "Uncle, what did I do wrong? We’re family, aren’t we? Do you not want me to stay here anymore?"

"No, but after everything that's happened today, our family really needs some peace and quiet. Just go back to your room for now."

He Zhifei replied impatiently.

He Tian really wanted to ask why, but from the looks of it, they weren't going to tell him.

And if he pushed further, he might get kicked out tonight.

He couldn't afford to be thrown out at this critical moment.

He Tian quickly made up his mind, and after standing up, he spoke to He Zhifei with guilt, "Uncle, it's Huihui's fault, and it's also my fault. If I had noticed something was off earlier, none of this would have happened.

I'll go back to my room now. If you need any help later, just let me know."

"I've always considered Uncle Zhi as family and treated Weiwei like my own sister."

After He Tian finished speaking, he returned to his room with a lonely look.

Seeing this, He Quan felt an ache in his heart. When had his grandson ever suffered such a great injustice before?

"Zhifei, after all, this is your nephew you're talking to. Your words were a bit too harsh, don't you think?" He Quan complained dissatisfiedly.

"Uncle, I'm actually leaving some dignity for both him and Youde." He Zhifei said with a cold face.

This reaction made He Quan's heart skip a beat. Why was he calling Youde by his full name now?

"We're leaving now." Wang Qinghe didn't want to watch their family drama anymore, especially the emotional scenes.

Seeing that his wife had finished packing and was coming over, he immediately spoke up.

"Leaving so soon? Wait, let me have your mom find the other ginseng root from our family before you go. I..."

He Zhifei was about to call his wife to look for it, completely missing the murderous look in her eyes.

"It's too late. We need to head home early." Wang Qinghe said, and then he and Bai Xiuxiu left the He family's house hand in hand.

He Zhifei stood there stunned. Was it too late because of the hour, or was it because his kindness towards Qinghe had come too late?

Which meaning had he intended?

He Zhifei didn't dare to be sure, and he felt very confused.

He regretted it deeply. Why had he listened to his father and Youde back then? Why had he focused on his brotherly relationship and ignored his eldest son's suffering?

Today, his son hadn't even called him dad.

As He Zhifei stood there dazed, He Quan had already returned to his room in anger.

Instead of trying to persuade him here, it would be better to hope that someone from the Old Wang family would come over and help them drive Wang Qinghe away.

He needed to check on his grandson right away.

Seeing that her father-in-law had also gone back to his room, Qi Yingying felt so happy she could burst into song.

She asked her husband softly, "Old He, what happened to you today?"

When He Zhifei didn't respond, Qi Yingying noticed her husband seemed to be in a daze.

"Old He? Old He!"

Qi Yingying called out to him a few more times forcefully before He Zhifei finally responded a little.

"Ah? What is it?"

Seeing him like this, Qi Yingying became even more worried. "And you're still asking? Why have you been spacing out? You're different from usual today. In the past, you were so good to your nephew. How could you stand to treat him so coldly today?

Did something happen when you and our son went out today?"

He Zhifei thought about what Director Zhou had said and was about to explain it to his wife.

Seeing the other kids still gossiping with curious faces there, He Zhifei coldly said, "It's nothing. I just feel that our family has already been more than generous to them.

He Cheng, what were you doing during the day today?

A big deal went down at home, and I didn’t see you lift a finger."

When called out, He Cheng shot up like he'd been burned, not knowing where to look, panicking and stammering, "I, I..."

"I'm asking you, when your mom and I told you to find out about Ji Feng's character, who did you ask?

What you told us is totally off.

If we had known from the start that he wasn’t a good person, would we have let this happen?"

Seeing his second son's reaction, He Zhifei knew he hadn't done anything good. Plus, with all the drama between He Wei and his wife, it was hard not to suspect this unfortunate son.

Sure enough, he was asked!

He Cheng was sweating in fear. He had taken Ji Feng's money but hadn't expected Ji Feng to mess up so quickly. And to such an extent!

Why on earth did he go to Huihui at Uncle's place?

"You're not saying anything? If you don't, I'll go find Ji Feng right now. I bet you didn't talk to anyone else; you just took bribe money from Ji Feng, didn't you?"

Finished speaking, he made a move as if he was about to leave.

He Cheng was so scared he knelt down, "Dad, don't go, I, I was wrong. I..."

Without another word, He Zhifei slapped him twice, hard, and still feeling unsatisfied, kicked him a few more times, "How did your mother and I raise such a little monster?

Weiwei is your own sister!

If this hadn't come out, and she had married that loser Ji Feng, her life would've been over!

I'm going to beat you to death today!"

With a belly full of anger, He Zhifei finally found a place to vent, grabbing a broom and starting to beat him with it.

"What are you doing? Are you trying to kill him?" Qi Yingying was also angry, but seeing him hit their son, her heart ached and she quickly shielded him.

"He's not a kid anymore! Why are you still hitting him?"

Qi Yingying's attitude made He Zhifei so angry he felt dizzy, "Stop protecting him. Have you thought about Weiwei at all?"

Seeing it was about to turn into chaos again, He Wei, who had been crying, stopped, "Dad, even if my second brother had said something bad back then, I still would have married Ji Feng.

Guess I was just unlucky."

He Wei walked up to He Cheng as she spoke.

Just as He Cheng was about to breathe a sigh of relief, He Wei suddenly kicked him hard, followed by a beating!
