214 Chasing People Away
“Engaged?” He Wei, who had been looking down and not saying a word, suddenly raised her head, a maniacal smile quickly gathering in her eyes. “You’re getting engaged again? Why? Why was it He Miao again! Why not me?”
He Wei pounced on the table as if she had gone crazy. She wanted to grab Jing Yan’s arm, but he coldly dodged her.
Jing Yan looked at He Feng impatiently. “Uncle He, please control your daughter. She’s so crazy, don’t bring her out of your house.”
“Yes, yes, yes.” He Feng nodded repeatedly. He looked at his dignified and beautiful younger daughter sitting beside Jing Yan and then at his crazy elder daughter. He suddenly felt a little embarrassed and shouted at Zhong Fei angrily, “Quickly bring her back to the car! It’s improper to go crazy here!”
“Isn’t it because of you that our daughter has become like this!” Zhong Fei could not help but roar.
All this time, she had been suppressing her desire to find out what had happened at the party, but in exchange, her daughter was breaking down. Now, He Feng was even disdaining He Wei, and He Miao, the b*tch, was watching the show. How could she leave with her daughter like this?!
“What nonsense are you talking about?” He Feng could not take it anymore. He stood up and grabbed Zhong Fei’s wrist. He pushed the mother and daughter out of the house and threw them into the snow outside. Then, he turned to look at Old Master Jing with a smile. “I’m sorry to have embarrassed you. It’s my fault for not disciplining her well.”
“If you know that you have not taught her well, then don’t keep saying that you want to teach my Miaomiao a lesson.” Old Master Jing’s good mood was completely ruined and his tone became sharp and mean. He did not want to give He Feng any face.
He Feng’s face turned pale, but he could only force a smile and say, “Yes, yes, yes. Miaomiao has always been a sensible child. By the way, Jing Yan said he wanted to get engaged again. Is that true?”
Old Master Jing nodded and said expressionlessly, “Miaomiao has always been the granddaughter-in-law I’ve decided on. In my heart, no one can replace her.”
He Feng was instantly overjoyed. He could not help but rub his hands and smile. “That girl, Miaomiao, is so lucky. It’s her good fortune to be able to marry Jing Yan.”
“Miaomiao is my true treasure.” Jing Yan clenched He Miao’s hand tightly and studied her shy face.
After hearing this, He Feng was even more confident.
Not long ago, he had finally soiled He Wei for a chance to make a fortune. However, just as he was about to succeed, something suddenly appeared and took away the fat meat that he was about to get.
He had been asking around recently and finally found out what position the Jing family held in this business. He had wanted to use the same trick and let He Wei use some tricks to confuse Jing Yan so that he could get a share of the profits.
He did not expect to have such a surprise this time.
He had to admit that when he saw He Miao at the Jing family house, he had hesitated a little, thinking that He Miao had really won Jing Yan’s heart.
However, on second thought, he denied this idea. He thought that it was his shameless daughter who had embarrassed him at the dinner, and that was why she had been deliberately reprimanded.
Now, the situation had reversed. One look at Jing Yan and one could tell how much he liked He Miao.
As his father-in-law, how could Jing Yan not agree to his small request?
He Feng grinned and put on the attitude of a kind father. He smiled and said, “I’m satisfied to see you two finally get married. From now on, our families are one family. If I need anything for business, just ask, Jing Yan. Of course, the He family can’t be compared to the Jing family. We need the Jing family’s help. But then again, it’s only right that Jing Yan does his part for his father-in-law’s family!”
He spoke happily, but everyone in the room curled their lips in disdain.
He Feng’s intention to take advantage of him was too obvious! Even the kitchen helper, who knew nothing, understood what he meant and could not help but feel embarrassed for He Miao.
After He Feng finished speaking, he laughed for a while. When he saw that no one responded to him, he awkwardly stopped laughing and coughed. “Then, does Jing Yan want to go our home with Miaomiao for dinner tomorrow? I’ll ask your Auntie Zhong to make you more delicious food!”
“No, I’m not going back.” He Miao did not give him any face at all and said, unmoved, “You don’t have to pretend to be caring for me at this time. I don’t have any familial ties with you. Just as grandma said, I grew up in the countryside and have nothing to do with you.”
“He Miao! Don’t be so ungrateful!” He Feng was so angry that he wanted to smash the teacup. He only put his hand down after Old Master Jing glared at him. He said with an ugly expression, “Hurry up and come home with me. It’s the new year and you’re in someone else’s house!”
“Don’t waste your energy, I won’t go with you.” He Miao’s attitude was firm, and her tightly furrowed brows were filled with impatience.
Seeing her anger, Old Master Jing was also angry. He smacked the table and started to drive him away. “You can go back now. We understand what you mean. We will talk about this later. Don’t disturb our meal.”
