Chapter 456

He Quan's shout caught the attention of people who had just left the factory.

He Quan didn't care anymore, pointing at He Tian and scolding angrily, "You ungrateful brat! If it weren't for your father, would you have had today? You relied on him to live a good life and gained so many skills.

Now that he's in trouble, you don't even care?

I swear, I'll beat you to death today.

Listen, if you don't take care of your father, I'll spread our family's dirty laundry all over the province!"

He Quan deeply regretted it. If he had known his grandson was such an ungrateful wretch, he would have tried to persuade his son.

He Tian's face was cold, and the stares of the people around made him feel like he had thorns in his back.

"Grandpa, even if you see my father, he'd agree with my approach. You need to understand that now, besides me, no one in our family can take care of you. Using my father alone to secure a good life for our family.

Isn't that a good deal?

He used Wang Qinghe's fate to secure a good life for our family back then.

Hasn't he always been proud of that over the years?

I'm just following his example.

Besides, even if we cut ties with him, he still affects me.

I'm just doing what I have to do.

If you want to blame someone, blame Wang Qinghe."

He Tian spoke confidently.

He Quan was stunned.

He Tian stood up, brushing the snow off his clothes, "Grandpa, let's go home first. I don't want to embarrass myself. If you ruin me, my father will definitely hate you."

He Quan was now completely under He Tian's control.

He could only obediently follow He Tian home.

When they reached the doorstep, they saw Zhou Jiaojiao.

But this time, Zhou Jiaojiao came with someone else, none other than Hu Tian, whom she had met by chance.

When Hu Tian saw the old man and the young man returning, he asked Zhou Jiaojiao beside him, "Jiaojiao, is it them?"

"Yes! It is! Brother Hu, you must protect me later." Zhou Jiaojiao grabbed Hu Tian's sleeve, feeling a bit excited inside.

She really had good luck. She didn't know what to do before.

After she left, she realized she couldn't contact the He family by phone. But she didn't dare to come to the He family alone again.

Who would have thought she would run into Hu Tian on the way?

What luck! Otherwise, with the province and the county so far apart, how could Hu Tian have come? And in such a big province, they still ran into each other?

With Hu Tian by her side, she dared to come again.

He Tian and He Quan both had sour looks when they saw them.

Zhou Jiaojiao didn’t care. She glanced at the two of them: "You're finally back. I've been waiting forever. Don’t you think we should have a serious talk?"

"Let’s take this inside." He Tian didn’t directly refuse to talk to her.

But what he really wanted was not to get his father out, but to make him confess.

He’d disown his dad, cutting all ties.

After that, nothing else would be a big deal.

Honestly, he should’ve done this from the get-go. If he had, there wouldn’t be this mess now. It was all because he was too soft.

Zhou Jiaojiao walked into the He family’s house with Hu Tian.

At home, He Youde’s wife, seeing her son and father-in-law back, rushed over to ask about her husband: "Xiao Tian, your dad... is he alright? Can he still get out?"

As she spoke, He Youde’s wife burst into tears.

Inside, He Huihui and Ji Feng were sitting too. He Huihui was feeling down.

This whole mess was just bad luck!

She didn’t marry Ji Feng to win over his grandma, and now she couldn’t even hold her head up at his place.

At home, she never caught a break, always stuck with the bad stuff. What kind of life is this?

"Mom, let’s head inside first." He Tian dodged his mom’s question and went straight inside.

Seeing He Huihui and Ji Feng, he gave a nod. Then, right in front of everyone, he took the seat usually reserved for the family head.

The whole family was shocked.

"We’ll get to family stuff later. Zhou Jiaojiao, right? What do you have to say to me?" He Tian asked Zhou Jiaojiao.

Zhou Jiaojiao was caught off guard; his attitude was nothing like He Quan’s.

But that didn’t matter; she had something big in her hands.

She looked at the two of them and smiled slightly: "It’s about the guarantee letter. Your father hired my husband and his brother to hire someone to make Wang Qinghe disappear. Now they didn’t do the job well, and it’s come to light.

Your father is also involved.

But my husband said it’s useless without evidence.

The best evidence now is that guarantee letter. Without it, your father might not be convicted.

I thought the guarantee letter was with my husband, but when I went home and looked for it, I found it.

It’s in my hands now."

He Quan’s eyes lit up immediately: "Really? Bring it quickly!"

"That won’t do. If I give it to you, I’ll have nothing left. My husband and his brother are both locked up now.

I can’t go home, and I can’t keep my job for long."

What do you expect me to do by myself?

If you want this item, come up with five hundred bucks for me.

And a decent job. Otherwise, I’m taking this to the cops."

Zhou Jiaojiao said, sitting down like she belonged there.

She looked at the family she had in her grasp, feeling especially smug.

"Xiao Tian, come up with something fast." He Quan knew He Tian had money, and as for the job, he figured Huihui could just hand over her position to Zhou Jiaojiao.

"What’s there to think about? If you take this to the cops and get my dad convicted, I’d owe you one." He Tian sneered.

Zhou Jiaojiao was stunned. What was he getting at?

He Tian was very calm: "At worst, I’ll cut him off. Once he’s convicted, our family will disown him, and he’ll be out of the picture.

We’ll be cutting ties with a troublemaker, and people might talk, but it’s better than being constantly threatened by your family."

"You! You ungrateful brat, won’t even save your own father? Cutting ties won’t change the fact he’s your dad! Do you think your uncle will step up for you?

What about your little girlfriend? You think she’ll stick around?"

He Quan completely lost his temper and went after He Tian.

He Tian, fed up, shoved the old man aside: "What’s your problem? Look at the mess my dad’s made of our family! You screw up and pin it on me? How many times is this now?

I’ve already been thrown out by my uncle, thanks to you.

If I listen to you again, I’ll end up behind bars myself."

He Tian was resolute, looking at the pale-faced Zhou Jiaojiao: "That guarantee letter’s my dad’s doing. Do whatever you want with it.

You’re not welcome here anymore, so don’t come back."

"Fine, fine, don’t say I didn’t warn you. Brother Hu, let’s go. If he won’t take care of his dad, why should we?" Zhou Jiaojiao said, storming out angrily.
