Chapter 481

He Zhifei was stunned by what she said, what did she mean by it being all his fault?

"What did I do?" He Zhifei was confused.

Qi Yingying felt extremely wronged. "If only you hadn't fought with the eldest son over He Youde that day, he wouldn't have cut off ties with us.

My father wouldn't have known about this, and now, not only has he scolded me, but he also plans to give the property that was supposed to be divided among our other children to the eldest son.

By the time I get my share, it will only be one-fifth.

How much has our family lost?

Both He Cheng and Wei Wei are angry, and it's all because of you!"

Qi Yingying felt even worse when she thought about how indifferent the two children had been just now. All these years, she had tried her best to make her few children happy. Hadn't she been a good mother? Yet they were giving their own mother the cold shoulder over this.

He Zhifei listened to his wife crying and finally understood. He too felt regret. If it weren't for He Youde's family, this wouldn't have happened.

Their family could have been living in harmony.

"If we're nice to him now, things might improve in the future," He Zhifei tried to comfort her.

Qi Yingying gave a sarcastic laugh. "Reconcile? Do you think my father, who is so shrewd, would have done this if reconciliation were possible? He probably went to see our eldest son first and realized it was impossible to mend things.

That's why he came and took it out on me, causing this mess.

I'm warning you, when it comes to He Youde's family, you must keep them at a distance!"

Even though things had turned out like this, at least things should remain the same with He Youde's family.

He Zhifei agreed with Qi Yingying on this matter.

"Don't worry, Yingying, I don't want to see them either. Old Shen has already agreed. Their factory is about to open a branch, and He Tian will be transferred there.

He doesn't want to see He Tian any more than I do now."

He Zhifei's words finally offered Qi Yingying some relief.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back." Outside, He Ming, who had gone to deliver something, opened the door and entered the house, looking very happy.

Seeing He Tian and Grandpa's expressions, he felt a lot more at ease.

"Why did you come back so late?"

He Zhifei frowned, taking out his frustration on his son.

He Ming, still smiling, looked confused. "What? Dad, are you okay? Don't you know how far my uncle's house is? It takes this long for me to go back and forth!"

"Alright, go call your brother and sister to come eat."

He Zhifei, looking a bit embarrassed, changed the subject.

He Ming, still confused, went to call the others. At the dinner table, He Ming noticed his mom's unhappy face, his dad's expression wasn't any better, and the cold looks on He Wei and He Cheng's faces.

It just feels weird.

"Did something happen while I was out?" He Ming found it all very odd.

These people look like they’re holding a lot of resentment.

"Something did happen. Grandpa came and said that because Mom is being too biased, he is helping her compensate Big Brother. The share of the family property that Mom will get in the future is now only one-fifth.

The rest went to Big Brother. Those shares were originally meant for us."

He Cheng added sarcastically.

His words made Qi Yingying lower her head, not wanting to look at her son, afraid his expression would hurt her.

After hearing this, He Ming almost felt like applauding his grandfather. This is exactly the sort of thing Grandpa would do. Only he could make Mom fall in line.

Anyway, Mom wasn’t planning to compensate Big Brother and didn’t treat him like her son. If that’s the case, Big Brother deserves more!

They only see what Big Brother is getting from the family now, but they’re not thinking about what could have happened if... if he hadn’t managed to escape that village or become the genius he is today.

What kind of life would Big Brother be living right now?

Big Brother pulled himself out of the mud with his own abilities, and none of that has anything to do with us.

"He Ming, don’t pretend to be mute. You’re usually closest to Wang Qinghe. What’s your feeling now?" He Cheng asked, clearly dissatisfied, glaring at his younger brother.

"What do you mean, how do I feel? Isn’t this better?" He Ming heaped a big bowl of rice and dug in.

He Cheng was speechless.

"What do you mean, it’s good?"

"Whoever Grandpa wants to give his things to is his decision. Who said he has to give it to you? Where do you get off?" He Ming replied.

He Cheng slammed down his chopsticks, ready to strike his younger brother.

"Enough! Do you think this family isn’t messed up enough already? There’s nothing we can do about it. He Ming is right; it’s your grandfather’s business. As for your mom and I, no matter whether he acknowledges us in the future, our property will still have a share for him."

He Zhifei coldly intervened, stopping his second son. Today’s events had hit him hard.

He couldn’t snap out of it!

Qi Yingying felt like crying. If only… if she could choose again, she would never have brought her eldest son back.

He was a bigger threat than the entire He Youde family.

After eating his fill, He Ming quickly went back to his room to rest.

His mind was full of thoughts all night!

The next morning, He Ming went to Wang Qinghe’s place.

"Xiao Ming is here? Why do you have such big dark circles under your eyes?" Wei Pozi was cleaning up the yard and was startled by his appearance.

"Auntie, is my brother and sister-in-law home?" He Ming felt that if he didn’t ask clearly, he wouldn’t be able to sleep well tonight either.

"They are home. We made some wontons today, have some."

Wei Pozi said this, and she didn’t make any special effort to greet him.

He Ming wasn’t really considered a guest here anymore; he was pretty much part of the family now.

He Ming entered the room, and Wang Qinghe and Bai Xiuxiu were already talking. Neither of them was surprised to see him.

He Ming was surely curious about what Wang Qinghe had said yesterday.

As soon as he entered, He Ming asked directly, “Bro, why did you have me take Dad with me when I went to He Youde’s house yesterday? Did you know something?”

“How much was going on at their family’s place yesterday?” Wang Qinghe asked He Ming in return.

Recently, Yu Cheng had been assisting him quite a bit. Yu Cheng had many friends, and it wasn’t difficult to get He Tian to know people without him discovering their connection.

When someone is desperate, talking to friends they’ve been close with can sometimes lead to unexpected outcomes.

However, he was also gambling.

He was relying on his intuition. Last night, his intuition had been strong, which was why he intentionally mentioned He Tian’s abnormal behavior to make He Ming worry about his family.

As long as his intuition remained accurate, he would witness a major event unfold.

If there wasn’t any excitement, He Tian would cause a big incident on his own soon enough.

It was just a matter of a few days either way.

But seeing He Ming’s current state, his intuition had been right.

When it came to He Tian’s family, He Ming had plenty to say. “Bro, you don’t know. Yesterday, He Tian said at home that he was going to harm Mom and even begged Grandpa for help.

Grandpa didn’t agree, and the two of them ended up fighting.

Then He Tian said that if Grandpa didn’t agree, he would tell Dad why Grandpa isn’t fond of him.

Dad was furious and burst into the house.

I guess He Tian felt like he had no more tricks left, so he went crazy. He revealed all of Grandpa’s secrets!”
