Chapter 477

But just because Wang Qinghe returned, everything changed!

And the one behind all this is Qi Yingying!

He Tian's plan is insane, but it works in his favor.

Even He Quan was swayed, as he wasn’t happy with his daughter-in-law either. If Qi Yingying hadn’t caused all this drama, his family wouldn’t be in such a mess.

Besides, how could Xiao Tian ever measure up to Wang Qinghe?

But still...

"Xiao Tian, you have to think carefully. If you get caught trying to harm someone, you'll end up just like your father," He Quan felt he still needed to advise him.

He Tian knew this, of course. He never planned to do it himself.

Hiring someone wasn’t an option.

If he acted, it would only be against Qi Yingying, and he and his grandpa could handle it themselves.

He Tian thought for a moment, then let out a bitter, self-deprecating laugh: "Grandpa, I get it. I wouldn’t dare hire someone again. Besides, we can’t afford that kind of expense anymore.

I just think this needs to be done in secret, airtight.

It’s better if I handle it myself.

Grandpa, can you help me?"

He Tian’s tone made He Quan really uneasy: "Xiao Tian, what are you saying? How am I supposed to help you?"

"Grandpa, my aunt would never go anywhere with me. Can you help me come up with a way to get her out? It’d be perfect if we could pin it on her own son. He Cheng is the ideal choice. Grandpa, if you can just help me get her out, I’ll take care of the rest."

He Tian got more and more worked up as he talked.

He Quan’s face went pale with fear. Was this really the same obedient, filial grandson?

Sure, going after Qi Yingying might make He Tian’s life better...

But... she’s the one who’s been cooking for him all these years!

Besides, if he helped get her out, he’d have no proof He Tian was behind it. Instead, he himself would be the one in trouble.

He Cheng is Zhifei's own son. Zhifei wouldn’t suspect He Cheng of anything, so the suspicion would naturally fall on him.

He Quan was terrifyingly shrewd when it came to matters unrelated to his youngest son.

He quickly figured out He Tian wasn’t asking for help—he was just setting him up.

"No way! I can’t help with this. Xiao Tian, you need to snap out of this delusion. Can't you see we've already failed? Do you think life outside is so good that you want to go to jail?"

He Quan frowned and sighed deeply.

As he spoke, he stood up and started walking out.

He Tian never expected his grandfather to refuse, which is why he brought it up in the first place.

Seeing him about to leave, He Tian panicked: "Grandpa, you can't leave. I... you know my plan now. What if you leave and tell them?"

"Have you lost your mind? I’m your grandfather! Why would I ever hurt you?" He Quan regretted coming today.

He Tian ignored him completely: "Grandpa, I sent Mom away just to talk about this. You can’t leave now!"

"What more do you want? Fine, I’ll agree, alright?" He Quan felt the situation was dangerous and decided to pretend to go along with it.

He Tian didn’t believe a word of it anymore, his eyes growing cold and menacing: "Grandpa, are you lying to me?"

"He Tian!" He Quan tried to pull away from him.

"Grandpa, you’re staying at my place for a few days, whether you like it or not. You know my plan, so you’re not going anywhere." He Tian now regretted it, realizing his grandfather didn’t care about him the way he did about his father.

Instead, his grandfather only cared about himself!

He Quan couldn’t match He Tian’s strength and was shoved back into the house.

He Tian sneered coldly: "Grandpa, I’ve got a better idea. If I tell Uncle you’re sick and need care, he’ll send Aunt over, won’t he? Then, I’ll find a way to take her life!

You’d better play along. If you don’t, I’ll have to tell Uncle why he’s been the black sheep of the family all these years."

He Quan’s face went white as a sheet.

"What did you just say?" Outside the door, He Zhifei and his son froze in their tracks, about to open the door when they overheard the shocking conversation.

Inside, He Tian was stunned. How had Uncle arrived at this moment?

He Zhifei slammed the door open, with He Ming right behind him. The moment he saw He Tian, He Ming lunged at him, landing two solid punches that sent him sprawling.

"You monster! After everything our family’s done for you, you’d dare plot against my mom? How could our family, the old He family, raise someone like you?" He Ming dragged He Tian and unleashed a brutal beating.

He Quan, now fully composed, didn’t give a second thought to He Tian. With his eldest son hearing everything, he had to protect himself.

He Quan put on a show, feigning heartbreak as he scolded He Tian: "Your brother’s right to beat you! What kind of monster are you, bringing shame to our family? Your uncle took you in and raised you as his own. How could you betray him like this?

Are you even my grandson? I can’t believe it."

He Tian, battered and nearly unconscious, felt all hope drain away.

Uncle… he heard everything? All of it?

His plan was ruined. There was no way it could work now.

This was all Grandpa’s fault! If he’d just gone along with it, Uncle would never have overheard.

It was Grandpa who caused this!

Yes, it was all him.

He Tian’s eyes glazed over with madness as he pointed at He Quan and burst into hysterical laughter.

His manic laughter left the three of them frozen in place.

He Zhifei was utterly disappointed: "That’s enough, He Tian. Stop pretending to be insane. I always treated you like my own son, but I never thought you were this kind of person. You are no longer allowed to set foot in our house. And, weren’t you always hoping I would plead with your factory director for you?

I’ll beg him to make you a ‘productive member of society,’ since that’s what you wanted."

He Tian, you better get ready to pack up and go to the countryside. You're Youde's son, so I won't do anything to you. I wouldn't do anything irrational over someone like you, but you'll never appear in front of me again.

You'll stay far away from our family."

He Zhifei thought this was the kindest decision he could make.

"Why? He Zhifei, why do you have to transfer my job?" He Tian completely lost it. Why?

He glared fiercely at He Zhifei, completely losing his rationality, picked up a stool beside him, and threw it at He Zhifei: "I'll take you on! He Zhifei, quit acting so high and mighty. If it weren't for me to have a good job, why would I have to be submissive in your family?

And you treat me like a son? Did you ever?

All these years, you've never lifted a finger to help me with your connections!

What kind of decent person are you?"

He Ming was still here, of course, and couldn't let him hurt his own father, so he immediately grabbed the stool: "If you're crazy, go see a doctor! Hasn't our family done enough for you?"

"Not enough! Not enough! Haha..." He Tian suddenly remembered something.

Pointing at He Quan beside him, and then looking at He Zhifei: "Do you really think this old man is so great? Guess why my father has been more favored than you for so many years? You don't think it's really because my father took care of this old man, do you?"
