Chapter: 2829
A few times, He Yingxiu felt overwhelmed and wanted to tell her father about her daughter Ruoli’s situation. She thought it would relieve him and help him prepare for Ruoli’s future as the head of the family. If her father understood Ruoli’s circumstances, he could make plans early on. But whenever she tried to speak up, the words got stuck in her throat. She believed that since her father agreed to keep Ye Gongzi’s request for confidentiality, she shouldn’t break that promise, even to him. She felt it wouldn’t be fair to go against it.
She thought that once the old man went to Jinling and Ye Shaoye got to know him better, maybe he would allow Ruoli to meet her grandfather privately.
He Hongsheng, sitting nearby, didn’t dwell on the matter. He checked the time and said, “Let’s go to Su Anshun and sort this out as soon as we can.”
He Yingxiu nodded and asked, “Dad, what will we do if the Su family tries to blame us?”
He Hongsheng replied calmly, “If the Su family sees itself as part of the family, they won’t waste energy on us. Plus, since we’re aligned with the young master of the Ye family, we don’t need to worry about the Su family targeting us. If the young master orders it, we might even confront the Su family directly. After all, he holds the power, and that’s how things work.”
He Yingxiu felt relieved and said, “I understand, Dad.”
Just then, someone knocked on the door of the study.
“Come in,” He Hongsheng called out.
He Yingquan opened the door, looked at He Yingxiu cautiously, and said to He Hongsheng, “Dad, you still haven’t finished…”
“Are you talking about Steward Su? He just got up and is having breakfast. He wants to see you and discuss something important,” the assistant said.
He Hongsheng nodded. “I actually need to talk to him about something important, too. Let’s go together.”
He Ying smiled to herself and thought, “Important? What could be so important? Isn’t it just about chatting with He Yingxiu? That’s worth two billion a year!”
Curious, she asked, “Dad, what do you want to talk to Steward Su about? Is there a change in our cooperation?”
He Hongsheng glanced at her, noticing the worry on his oldest son’s face. It seemed like he had lost two billion, and it annoyed him a little. He had dedicated his life to martial arts and never chased after wealth and fame. Why did he have a son like this?
With a hint of irritation, he replied, “What? Are you worried about the cooperation changing?”
He Ying quickly said, “Dad, the cooperation terms from the Su family are a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Don’t jump to conclusions or make hasty decisions!”
He Hongsheng snorted. “Oh, so I’m not wise enough to judge? Let me be clear: I’ve already decided not to work with the Su family anymore. I’m going to tell Su Anshun in person!”
