Chapter 457

"Xiao Tian... are you really not going to take care of your father?" He Youde's mother couldn't believe her son was such an ungrateful person, so she tearfully asked him.

He Tian looked at the suspicious and disdainful eyes of his family and smirked to himself.

The family didn't support Dad, and everyone benefited together, so why does it feel like I'm the one who did something terrible?

Thinking this, He Tian also knew he couldn't go too far, otherwise no one in the family would listen to him.

So he put on a stern expression and sighed reluctantly: "Mom, Grandpa, and Huihui, it's not that I don't want to take care of Dad. It's mainly that Dad is deeply involved in this matter. If it succeeds, everyone will be happy. If it doesn't, given Dad's carelessness, there's plenty of evidence against him!

That Zhou Jiaojiao clearly wants to take advantage of us. She only guaranteed the guarantee letter, but did she guarantee that Dad would definitely get out?

Dad thought from the beginning that there couldn't be any mistakes, so he wasn't careful at all.

Didn't he go along to hire those people?

Wouldn't they identify him?

And, didn't Dad also instruct that old man from the Wang Family to steal Wang Qinghe? Can you guarantee that this won't be exposed?

With Dad at home, our whole family can only be drained by Old Wang’s.

At that time, the whole family would have to beg for survival!

If Dad goes in, at least our family can survive.

I'm doing this for the family, and I also want Uncle to forgive us.

At least publicly, he has to forgive."

He Huihui didn't feel much affection for her father, He Youde, and had no objections to He Tian's decision. Doing this would indeed make life at home a little easier.

Moreover, if her brother's life improves, she can hold her head high in her in-laws' home.

Should the whole family suffer alongside Dad?

He Quan remained silent. Thinking of how much his youngest son had sacrificed for the family and looking at the people in the family, he felt a pang of heartache.

But... he couldn't return to his eldest son now, and he had already given all the money to his youngest son.

If he didn't listen to He Tian now, wouldn't he end up homeless?

He Quan felt bitter and hung his head, unwilling to speak up.

After hearing her son's words, He Youde's wife also started to think.

For a moment, the room was uncomfortably silent.

After a while, He Youde's wife was the first to speak: "Then... what if your father can get out in the future?"

"If Dad gets out, after the storm has passed, of course, our family will still be a family with Dad in private," He Tian assured.

"Then Mom will listen to you. If we can see your father, we'll discuss this with him. Xiao Tian, Mom doesn't understand this matter, so it's all up to you. By the way, your girlfriend..." He Youde's wife was worried about her son's marriage.

Thinking of the factory director's daughter who was about to become his girlfriend, a look of pride appeared on He Tian's face.

"After we meet at Uncle's house, she will confirm our relationship. With her help, my life will be better. But the premise is to settle things with Uncle first. Mom, Huihui, you both have to come with me to see Uncle today."

He Tian was already prepared to lose face.

But it had to be worth the embarrassment.

"Do I really have to go? I’m already married, and Ji Feng and I were supposed to go back tomorrow anyway. If we go back now, grandma will definitely ask us," He Huihui said reluctantly.

It was obviously nothing good—good news wouldn’t involve her.

"Aren’t you part of our family?" He Tian shot back.

He Huihui understood the implication in his words and didn’t say anything more, nodding in agreement.

"I’ll go with you too," He Quan sighed, resigned.

His youngest son was a lost cause, and now he had to think about his own future.

"It’s great that grandpa’s willing to come. With you there, things will go smoother," He Tian said, pleased. His goal wasn’t to have his uncle agree to let him return; he wanted to make his uncle have no choice but to agree!

After they finished discussing, they skipped dinner and left right away.

Ji Feng and He Huihui walked at the back, and he whispered to her, "Huihui, you go in. I’ll stay out. If I go in, grandma will lose it. Things will get even tougher for you in our family."

He Huihui glanced at her husband. She hadn’t planned on him coming anyway, but his attitude was still disappointing.

Knowing her future depended on this man, He Huihui swallowed her frustration, staying as gentle and considerate as always. "Fine, wait outside. Don’t come in. If you do, my brother will drag you into this mess. I don’t have a choice—it’s my family, after all. You know I can’t stand seeing my family struggle."

She looked delicate, and that’s exactly what Ji Feng loved about her.

Suddenly fired up, he said, "Don’t worry. When I’m able to, I’ll make sure they’re taken care of."

The whole family made their way to the He household.

At the He family.

When Qi Yingying got home, she found the whole family gathered, with Old He even cooking dinner. Her heart started racing.

What’s happening?

"Yingying, you’re back? Dinner’s ready—let’s eat first," He Zhifei said, smiling as he motioned for her to sit.

Qi Yingying eyed him suspiciously. "What’s this about?"

"Yingying, there’s something I need to tell you," He Zhifei said, his expression serious.

Qi Yingying stayed silent, sensing it wasn’t good news.

"Dad, why are you beating around the bush? Mom, third uncle’s been arrested," He Wei blurted out, unable to hold back.

Hearing this, Qi Yingying almost wanted to set off fireworks! This was fantastic news.

But why did they arrest him?

"Third uncle brought the Old Wang’s crew to the city to hire someone to hurt big brother. But the plan backfired, and the whole group got busted. The Old Wang’s crew turned on third uncle, and now he’s been hauled off."

The details are still unclear, but I don't think he'll be able to get out.

He Wei summed it up in just a few words.

He Ming went to his elder brother's house, so she had to help explain. Otherwise, with Dad's procrastination, they wouldn't even have time to eat.

When Qi Yingying heard this, she blew up: "I always said there's not a single good person in their family! Old He, this is the brother you've always stood up for. I think this matter is definitely related to your father and that good nephew of yours!"

"Yingying, don't be angry. He's already getting what's coming to him, and I've made it clear that I absolutely won't interfere with him," He Zhifei quickly tried to calm his wife.

He felt guilty; even though he said he wouldn't get involved with Youde, once Youde was in trouble, he couldn't just ignore He Tian.

"So what's the deal with this table? What are you planning?" Qi Yingying became even more alert.

She looked at her daughter.

He Wei shook her head; as soon as Dad came back, he started this whole thing—how could she know what was going on?

What's more, Dad had even sent Grandpa away and wasn't as fidgety as usual.

You can't help but think he's got something big up his sleeve.

He Ming was right; Dad could never truly cut ties with that family.

Even though Dad seems like he wants to change, the moment Uncle's family makes a move, he forgets all about it.

Before Qi Yingying could settle down, there was a ruckus outside.

"Uncle, Aunt, our family has wronged you! My father was wrong, and so was I. I bow to you in apology!"
