Chapter 460

Chapter 460

Wang Qinghe had achieved his goal and had no intention of staying to put on a show of harmony. He took his wife by the hand and walked out.

"I... your third uncle is already in prison, what more do you want?"

He Zhifei's plea was answered by the sound of a slamming door.

He Zhifei stood frozen, a mix of guilt and remorse swiftly morphing into rage!

His chest heaved with pain, and he clutched it, swallowing the words of apology he had yet to utter.

"Big brother, wait up, I'll walk you two home," He Ming got up and chased after them.

"He's no longer your brother!" He Zhifei felt like his dignity and pride had been utterly stripped away, and he roared at his younger son in anger.

He had forgotten his original plan to keep the children's relationships harmonious, even if his relationship with Wang Qinghe couldn't be repaired.

That thought had now been completely discarded.

He Ming rolled his eyes, "Dad, if you're not well, go see a doctor. You are you, and I am I. Big brother and sister-in-law might not accept you, but they accept me."

"You! Get out, and don't you dare come back!" He Zhifei continued to roar.

"He Zhifei, have you lost your mind? First, you drive away your eldest son, and now you're cutting off He Ming too? Why don't you just throw us all out and move in with your brother's family?"

Qi Yingying had initially thought it didn't matter much to her whether the eldest son stayed or not, as she knew he was alive and they weren't close now.

As long as he was alive, that was all that mattered.

As for expecting the eldest son to be filial? She’d worry about that when she’s old.

But throwing He Ming out? That was out of the question.

"That matter with He Youde was his own fault to begin with. And now, we still have to clean up his mess," Qi Yingying was so mad she wanted to smash the rice bowl right over He Zhifei’s head.

Wang Qinghe and Bai Xiuxiu had no desire to get dragged back into the He family’s mess.

Only when He Ming caught up with them outside did Wang Qinghe stop for him: "What? Aren’t you afraid I’ll take revenge on you too?"

"Big bro, you’re not like that. Dad is just confused. It was Third Uncle’s fault all along, yet he still says you’re in the wrong. Big brother, what you did was right," He Ming’s eyes lit up. Although Dad was angry, he didn’t dislike the way Big brother stood up for himself.

"Your sister-in-law and I made you promises, and they still stand. It’s freezing out here, you should head back," Wang Qinghe knew he was uneasy, worried that the previously agreed matters had changed, so he reassured him.

"Then I’ll go back first. That He Tian... he’s not getting away with this. Big bro, don’t worry. If there’s any gossip about you at home, I’ll keep you in the loop."

After saying this, He Ming went back.

"Let’s go home," Bai Xiuxiu said, also looking at her husband, noticing that he was truly relaxed now.

Probably because he’d finally cut ties with all that family drama?

"Mm, I’ll take you home first, then go to the teacher’s place."

Hand in hand, the two of them walked out of the compound.

At the He family, Qi Yingying was fuming, but her tirade actually managed to cool He Zhifei down a little.

Looking back at what he’d just said, he felt like slapping himself.

"This... I was just too worked up earlier. I thought since Youde has already gone in, there's no need to pile on. Besides, Qinghe is just too immature. We had already made our decisions clear from the start, yet he still had other ideas privately.

No matter what, he's still his uncle!

Also, does he respect us? How can he go behind my back with his own ideas?"

He Zhifei's anger boiled over as he spoke.

He Ming, who had just walked in, was at a loss for words again upon hearing this.

"Dad, if my brother didn't have a mind of his own, how would he have made it to the city? I think you're out of line. My brother didn't want to acknowledge you in the first place. Now, you don't have to worry about getting closer to him anymore."

After saying this, He Ming gave them a slow, sarcastic clap.

"You little troublemaker!"

He Zhifei looked around the room for something to throw at him.

"Enough! What's done is done, what's the point of getting angry? If you're so tough, why don't you say it to his face?

You better calm down before you give yourself a heart attack, while Youde's family stays calm.

Besides, I never agreed to forgive Youde, it was all your idea.

Now you're putting this on your eldest son?"

As Qi Yingying spoke, she looked towards He Tian and his family.

He Tian was stunned, but inside he was over the moon.

He never thought Wang Qinghe would be so bold. Now that his uncle has turned his back on Wang Qinghe, who else is there to favor but him?

What a stroke of luck!

When Qi Yingying looked his way, He Tian instantly put on a sad face and started to cry: "Uncle, it's really my dad's fault. Don't blame my brother, I wouldn't forgive so easily either if I were in his shoes.

Please don't be mad, my brother's just upset right now.

Maybe in a few years he'll come around and see where you're coming from."

He Zhifei was touched; Xiao Tian was really stepping up.

If Qinghe had even half of He Tian's empathy, would he have blown up like that? Moreover, his eldest son didn't even give him a chance to explain?

That child, only thinking about his own grievances, why doesn't he think about his father?

Youde is his own brother, between a brother and a son, of course, he can only choose to help the weaker one. How much has Youde suffered? Qinghe is lucky to be his son.

Now Qinghe has a house, a wife, children, and a job.

Everything is settled, and he even has a good teacher.

His future is bright.

What about Youde's family?

For Qinghe, he didn't care about Youde, now he's in, and the family is falling apart.

Why can't he understand him a little?"

He is a father and also an older brother.

Moreover, he is someone else's son.

How tough it must be for him as the head of the family!

"Uncle, we'll head back first. I'll come see you again tomorrow after I've handled cutting ties with my dad. I came today specifically to apologize. As for my older brother's issue, don't worry, I'll help explain.

I think my older brother might have acted this way because he saw how well you treated me.

I'll help clear up the misunderstanding between you and your son."

He Tian was really understanding.

"Alright, you all head back first, don't worry, we're still family. Dad, you don't need to go back with them. Stay here, it's late..." He Zhifei had already forgiven He Quan again.

He Quan wasn't exactly happy, but staying here was better than being at Youde's place.

He nodded in agreement, still thinking about his younger son.

Adding insult to injury, what will Youde do now?

But Xiao Tian really knows how to handle things; in no time, his uncle had already changed his mind.

Qi Yingying just felt something was off; it seemed like her family was back to square one.
