Yu Lian first helped the children into the car, and then she and He Lin both looked at Xue Zhi not far away.
"If you go and call him now, do you think that kid will run away?"
After confirming her conjecture, Yu Lian completely changed her mindset when facing Xue Zhi.
"No, this kid seems alright, compared to his brother."
"So it seems you're quite satisfied with your brother-in-law?"
He Lin shrugged, offering no clear response.
"Let's go, don't waste their time."
The fact that neither of them is saying anything now means that one or both of them feel it's not the right time and there's no need for them to get involved.
Do you think my sister is smart or not?
He Lin's question made him seem foolish.
Ultimately, I'm still worried that my sister will be deceived by a man.
"Don't worry about it. Lanlan isn't a child."
"Um."
The three siblings were stuck in traffic on their way back, and as it got dark, they began to worry about not having finished their homework.
He Ning'an sat calmly to the side, listening to her younger siblings' murmurs.
Suddenly, his voice blaring a complaint rang out from inside the car.
"Mom, my younger brother and sister played secretly yesterday and didn't finish their homework."
The three people who had been quietly discussing using flashlights to finish their homework that night all looked at the eldest brother differently.
I never realized my dear older brother was such a tattletale.
He Ningxi muttered under her breath, dissatisfied, "Big brother just loves to show off in front of her, everyone knows that."
After all, in the past, their older brother wouldn't even glance at them for something as trivial as not finishing their homework.
Now that he's with his biological mother, the more he performs, the more she likes him.
Yu Lian heard her daughter's dissatisfied complaints.
He immediately explained, "I asked my older brother to keep an eye on you."
Sitting in the last row, He Xinglan waved to her two older brothers beside her to indicate whether she was right or wrong.
He Ningchuan's eyes darted back and forth between the two sides. "Ah...we were the ones who made the mistake, it has nothing to do with you, Big Brother, right?"
"Hmph, I knew you were unreliable, you're such a fickle person."
He Lin, who was focused on the road conditions, couldn't stand his daughter's attitude any longer. "You'd better get your facts straight."
Even a seemingly innocuous remark from He Lin could send chills down the spines of several children who hadn't finished their homework.
He Ningxi couldn't help but reminisce about her past life.
Although no one cares about them, they are free and unrestrained.
Now I get criticized no matter what I do.
"Alright, it's only 6:30, there's still time. Even if the questions are difficult, we can finish them in an hour. Let's go to bed an hour later tonight."
This arrangement relieved the three siblings.
"However, I apologize to your older brother."
Suddenly called out by name, He Ningxi unconsciously put on a sour face.
He Ning'an dismissed it, saying, "There's no need."
"Right now, immediately." Yu Lian's tone left no room for argument.
He Ningxi already felt that her mother favored her older brother, and this action undoubtedly reinforced that impression in her mind.
If we weren't in the car right now, she would have already gone berserk, insisting on going back to her grandparents' house.
But now I can't go anywhere, and tears are falling like they're free.
He Ningze, who was standing next to him, regretted bringing up the homework in the car earlier.
"Go ahead and cry, then compose yourself and apologize to your older brother."
Yu Lian refused to back down an inch, successfully stopping He Ningxi from crying.
"Why should I?" she blurted out, her voice choked with emotion and a hint of protest.
"Because you don't respect your brother."
"I did nothing wrong, I was just telling the truth, you guys are just too afraid to admit it."
The relationship had finally eased up a little, but now it's strained again because of this.
Yu Lian felt exhausted and sighed softly.
"Manman, if you have any complaints, just say them."
"Do I even need to say what I'm unhappy about? I don't want to live under the same roof as you, and I don't want anyone to control me. I just want things to be the same as before."
She stated her demands in one breath.
Yu Lian looked at He Lin beside her. Although He Lin did not say a word, his angry eyes revealed his attitude at this moment.
Yu Lian reached out and placed her hand on the back of his hand. "Never mind."
He Lin was very dissatisfied with Yu Lian's attitude in handling this matter, but he subconsciously listened to her.
"Okay, we'll take you back. Your aunt will be traveling a lot these days and won't be home. Your grandparents are also going on vacation and won't be home either. Grandma Xiaoju can cook for you during the day, but she'll also be going back to her own home in the evening. Are you sure you want to go back?"
"Of course, I'm going back now!"
The traffic congestion on the road has improved, and the speed of the cars has gradually increased.
"Okay, pack your things. You can go straight to your grandparents' house after school tomorrow. I won't force you. This time, Mom respects your opinion. Remember that."
He Ningxi snorted and turned her head to look at the rapidly changing scenery outside the window.
It was completely dark when I got home.
Surprisingly, the child's grandparents had been waiting at the door for a long time.
"Mom and Dad? What are you doing here?"
He Jianguo gestured for the child to come inside, but the two didn't seem inclined to go in, as if they planned to talk outside.
Seeing the child obediently leave, He Jianguo immediately spoke up, "Recently, you should pay attention to whether there are any high-level contacts between the company and outsiders. Also, start to clean up and eliminate any things that shouldn't be happening. Right now, we don't have clear evidence to prove whether that person is your grandfather's child."
He Lin was speechless.
Li Ying added, "Your grandfather asked the most famous lawyer in Hong Kong to draft an agreement before he passed away. In short, if he really is your uncle, he will directly receive one-third of the company."
What He Jianguo was most worried about was not that, but whether the other party had any ulterior motives.
According to He Xun, he knew his identity from birth, so why did he wait until now to acknowledge him?
Now is a time when the whole family is in the midst of a joyous celebration.
Based on his years of experience in the business world, he could tell that the other party must be someone of considerable importance.
He seems quite shrewd and calculating.
"She is a representative of Mocario, the world's largest pharmaceutical company, which holds many patents and technologies. Some of our company's drugs need permission to be sold in other countries."
"He said he was orphaned and destitute from a young age, and struggled in the slums. The ruthlessness in such a person's bones should not be underestimated. If he really has ulterior motives, you must be careful in the shadows."
He Jianguo had long since stopped caring about the company's affairs, and in the early days he would only occasionally offer his son some ideas based on his past experience.
But as someone who witnessed the rise of this business empire, he privately did not want any of the He family's assets to fall into the hands of outsiders.
Even if He Xun really is the old man's child, it's impossible for him to give him up.
There's no such thing as a free lunch.
He Xun's attitude the next day during their conversation was completely different from when they met at the cemetery.
He portrayed himself as a helpless orphan determined to find his roots.
It also demonstrated its loyalty, stating that it would not accept a single penny from the old man.
But the more this is the case, the more suspicious it becomes.
"Alright, let's go back first and discuss this matter further."
The elderly couple came and went quickly.
However, she took He Ningxi with her when she left, and as soon as she got home, she couldn't wait to pack her things.
Don't miss any opportunity to embrace freedom sooner.
