239 Disheartened
He Feng sighed heavily. He only had He Wei as his only hope now. Naturally, he hoped that she would get better and better so that the He family could also prosper.
Now however, He Wei had already been trampled into the mud by He Miao, that girl. He really regretted bringing He Miao over from the countryside. He thought that he would have another daughter to help him, but he did not expect that he would bring trouble to himself instead. Now, the He family could not even leave their house.
“Where’s Weiwei?” He Feng sat on the sofa and asked in a deep voice.
“Weiwei is in her room and won’t come out.” Zhong Fei wiped her tears and leaned into He Feng’s arms, sobbing softly. “Hubby, you have to help our daughter. We can’t let He Miao continue to be so smug. She’s going to destroy the He family now!”
“I know.” He Feng’s eyes turned cold. He got up and walked up the stairs. “I’ll go and see Weiwei first. You go and see our mother. Don’t let her be too scared.”
Old Madam He had been frightened by the crowd outside the door just now and was still cowering in her bed, not daring to come out.
The living room was already in a mess. All the glass that could be smashed had been smashed. She was afraid that these people would go crazy and hurt her accidentally. She had not lived a good life yet, and she could not bear to die like this!
Zhong Fei understood that He Feng wanted to send her away on purpose so that he could tell her daughter some secrets that only the two of them could know. She obediently walked to the old lady’s door and knocked on it. She coaxed the old lady out of her bed, drank a bowl of hot porridge, and did what she was supposed to do.
He did not know what He Feng and He Wei were talking about in the room, but after Old Madam He finished her meal, the father and daughter came downstairs.
He Wei forced herself to eat something. Zhong Fei felt more confident and could not help but pat her on the shoulder to cheer her up. “Weiwei, mom will always stand on your side. Don’t be afraid. This time, our whole family is on the same side. We will definitely work together to help you vent your anger.”
He Wei was not very touched after hearing this. Instead, she sneered and no longer had any warmth on her face. She pushed her hand away with a cold face and said in a weak and hoarse voice, “Mom, you and grandma have to be careful when you go out these days. Dad and I have already discussed how to deal with this matter, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
“What did you guys discuss?” Zhong Fei had been beating around the bush for a long time just to ask about this.
However, this time, He Wei refused to say anything. Her pale lips suddenly pursed tightly and her eyes flashed with strong hatred.
“Hubby, what did you guys discuss? I want to help my daughter too.” Zhong Fei tugged at He Feng’s sleeve coquettishly. In the past, his heart would soften whenever she acted coquettishly. No matter what she asked for, he would try his best to satisfy her.
However, tonight, He Feng brushed her hand away and said in a deep voice, “You don’t have to worry about this. Weiwei is not a child anymore. She can handle this on her own. Of course, I will help her. You and mom just have to take care of yourselves.”
Zhong Fei looked at He Wei hesitantly. She wanted to ask again, but she did not dare to mention it in front of He Feng.
After being married to He Feng for so many years, no one knew him better than Zhong Fei. The man in front of her clearly did not have much patience, but he would pretend to be very patient when it came to big things to coax her. This was also a signal that he was giving her. If she did not know better and continued to ask, he would definitely be upset. At that time, it would ruin the relationship between the couple, which would not do her any good.
Zhong Fei tactfully did not ask any more questions. Instead, like a true good wife and mother, she smiled and said some comforting words while putting food in their bowls.
He Feng was very satisfied with his wife’s reaction, which was why he was willing to pamper her. Not all women could be as sensible as her.
He Wei looked at the food that Zhong Fei had put into her bowl and felt nauseated. However, she suppressed that feeling and ate it expressionlessly.
She knew that Zhong Fei did not really care about her. Whether it was Zhong Fei or He Feng, they only treated her as a money-making tool.
The concern and support that Zhong Fei gave her now was actually just for her own glorious and wealthy later years.
If a mother really cared about her, she would not fear anyone. She would try her best to find out the truth, and then she would not hesitate to become enemies with everyone to protect her daughter.
However, Zhong Fei would always choose to remain silent and turn a blind eye to her motherly love when she needed it the most.
When she returned from the banquet last time, Zhong Fei had clearly noticed her abnormality. However, due to He Feng’s authority, she did not dare to ask more. This time, she made the same choice.
She was no longer disappointed in Zhong Fei, but she still felt an endless sense of fatigue in her heart.
He Wei was suddenly very jealous of He Miao. She was jealous of the kinship and love that she could easily obtain. She was jealous that she could be liked and surrounded by so many people.
She was so jealous that she had forgotten her own nature. She only wanted to drag He Miao down from his high and mighty position at all costs and let her join her in hell.
