Chapter 191: Chapter 191 Picking Someone Up_1
“Of course it’s true! There’s no room for it to be fake.” Zhou Yongxian expressed dissatisfaction with her son, but she was pleased in her heart. “Your Uncle Huo personally called Huo Jinlan’s biological father yesterday and asked him to come and take his daughter back today.”
Zhou Yongxian explained the situation of the He family to Nan Fei, to ensure she understood. She concluded saying, “Huo Jinlan’s biological mother is no good. I’ve met her once. She’s a walking disaster, being around her makes one irritated.”
She fanned herself with her hand exaggeratedly while speaking.
Nan Fei was amused and smiled gently. Of course, she had seen it too, not just once but in her past and this life. She despised Jing Tong’s character from the bottom of her heart.
“Rest assured! Your Uncle Huo is as clear-headed as a mirror. He knows right from wrong and definitely doesn’t act rashly like Yuan Xueshan.” Zhou Yongxian took Nan Fei’s hand and sighed, “Ah, in the end, it’s all their fault for meddling. Otherwise, you would be our granddaughter-in-law by now.”
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She was unaware of Huo Jinlan’s real personality initially.
Now she realized that it was Jinlan who had instigated Yuan Xueshan to call off the engagement, offending everyone in the process.
Such a sinister scheme!
At the same time, He Rongxi and Jing Tong were personally driving, without even bringing a chauffeur, from the provincial capital.
They had packed a lot of stuff in the car. After leaving the national highway and entering Qi Li Town, Jing Tong looked at the lush fields outside and the prosperous rice paddies, stretching out her well-maintained hand to cover her mouth in disgust. Where her gaze fell, there were children tending to cows, passing the car on the backs of the cows. The disgust in Jing Tong’s eyes was almost impossible to hide.
“My daughter really suffers.” She sighed and covered her heart with grief, “In such a harsh environment, with such living conditions, how has she survived all these years?”
He Rongxi, who was driving, heard her words and reminded her, “Don’t say such things when we get to Huo Linong’s house, to avoid offending them.”
“I know!” Jing Tong gave him an assured look, “I was just venting in your presence. No matter how good their family is, it won’t compare to living with her biological parents.”
She said and then coquettishly continued, “Dear, we’ve owed Jinlan from the beginning, you have to make it up to her this time.”
Bewitched by Jing Tong, He Rongxi kept nodding in agreement, “She is my biological daughter, how could I not care for her? But the situation makes it impossible. Otherwise, I would have brought her back home a long time ago.”
“Then when will it be allowed!” Jing Tong unconsciously caressed her belly, a surge of hatred rising in her heart.
She had been with He Rongxi for many years, during which He Rongxi’s power wasn’t great, and he had to accompany his sickly old wife. She lived alone, inevitably feeling lonely and empty.
Over time, her restless heart became active and she secretly sought out a few young and strong men. One moment of carelessness led to a wild night, and she ended up pregnant.
Fearing discovery, she had two abortions.
Back then, she was young and didn’t care much. Now, as the official Madam He, she wanted nothing more than to have a son. Only when she has a son, can she hold her head high and rightfully claim the He family’s property after He Shasha’s death.
But up until now, she hadn’t felt any movement in her belly. It seemed impossible to have another child.
