215 Breaking Up
Since Old Master Jing had spoken, He Feng did not dare to stay any longer. He quickly left after apologizing.
The happy reunion dinner was suddenly interrupted, and the old man was not very happy. However, this was He Miao’s first new year here, after all. He did not want He Miao to remember this day in the future and be upset, so he quickly tried to smooth things over and asked everyone to sit down. “Let’s continue eating. At night, let Jing Yan set off fireworks in the courtyard for Miaomiao to see.”
“That’s right. This year, I’ve specially asked someone to prepare a lot of fireworks. There are many that are suitable for you to play with. They have all been placed in the storeroom by Uncle Li. You can go and pick them when the time comes.” Jing Yan poured He Miao a glass of milk and held her hand, carefully coaxing her.
He Miao did not really mind He Feng’s disturbance. In her heart, she had never considered anyone in the He family as family, so naturally, she was not sad.
She was worried that Grandpa Jing would be upset, but they came to comfort her first. She felt warm and fuzzy inside. She nodded. “Sure, then we’ll watch fireworks with Grandpa at night.”
After the uninvited guests were driven away, the atmosphere in the Jing family house became warm again.
On the other hand, He Feng’s face turned frighteningly dark after he was kicked out of the Jing family house.
He returned to the car and glared at the mother and daughter who were sitting in the back seat. They were also not looking good. He said coldly, “Do you know what you two were talking about? That’s in front of Old Master Jing, can’t you show me some respect?”
“You want to gain face, right? That daughter of yours has given you so much, she’s already climbed into a man’s bed, but you only know how to vent your anger on me and Weiwei!”
Zhong Fei had always been submissive in front of He Feng. This time, she was furious. In addition, her beautiful daughter had now become a shadow of her former self. She could not control her words and only chose to say nasty things to He Feng.
He Feng’s heart was also filled with anger. After being mocked by a woman, his face suddenly turned cold. He raised his hand and was about to hit Zhong Fei.
Only then did Zhong Fei feel scared. She quickly hugged his arm and coaxed him, “Hubby, I said something wrong. Let’s go home first. Look at Weiwei now. We can’t let her stay out in the cold.”
Only then did He Feng feel more at ease. However, he still sat in the car with a cold face and ordered the driver to drive back to the He family house.
As soon as they entered the door, Zhong Fei hugged He Wei and sat on the sofa, crying. She cried and howled, “My poor daughter, how are you any worse than that country bumpkin? how could you be humiliated like this?”
When Old Madam He heard the commotion, she was startled by the mother and daughter’s crying. She asked blankly, “What is this? Aren’t you going to visit Old Master Jing? Why did you come back with such a sad face?”
Only then did Zhong Fei wipe her tears and said with a choked voice, “He Miao, that wretched girl, has grown up and tricked Jing Yan. She is now in the Jing family house and is going to be engaged to Jing Yan. Tell me, this child said that she wanted to break off the engagement herself, and now she is going to do it without discussing with you. Isn’t it obvious that she doesn’t care about you and He Feng?”
After Old Madam He heard the whole story, she suddenly leaned on her walking stick angrily and said through gritted teeth, “That wretched girl actually dared to do such a thing! She even wants to marry into the Jing family. She is not worthy!”
She held onto her walking stick and walked shakily to He Feng. She tapped his forehead in exasperation. “What kind of father are you? Why is there no dignity at all! If your father was still here, he would definitely break this damned girl’s legs!”
“Mom,” he said. He Feng helped the old lady to sit on the sofa and could not help but say, “It’s a good thing that He Miao can marry into the Jing family.”
“Hubby! Why don’t you understand?” Zhong Fei angrily walked to He Feng’s side. As she wiped her tears, she analyzed for him, “He Miao doesn’t even care about us now, and when he marries Jing Yan in the future, he’ll definitely not care about us anymore. Haven’t you seen through the situation today? Even if this little girl were to marry Jing Yan, she wouldn’t help the He family!”
Old Madam He also patted her son’s hand and tried to persuade him, “Zhong Fei is right. We’ve raised her for so many years, but in the end, she’s not willing to help her family. Since that’s the case, why don’t we mess up this marriage and let Weiwei marry Jing Yan?”
He Feng was still hesitating. After all, Jing Yan was now the He family’s son-in-law. If their marriage were to be called off and Jing Yan refused to marry He Wei, all his efforts would have been in vain.
Zhong Fei’s mind turned extremely fast. Seeing his hesitation, she knew what he was thinking. She immediately patted her chest and promised, “Hubby, don’t worry. With Weiwei’s beauty, why can’t she win Jing Yan over? Don’t forget, our daughter used to be a popular woman, and she had the potential to become a big star. If He Miao hadn’t set her up, Weiwei would still be your pride. She was the one who caused Weiwei to lose her chance!”
He Feng turned around and looked at his pitiful daughter sitting on the sofa. His heart could not help but soften. After all, he still loved this daughter the most, so he could not help but nod in agreement.
