Chapter: 2833
He Ying turned to Steward Su and said with a serious expression, “You’re right, I can’t convince my father.” Then, he quickly added, “But I can convince myself to take action!”
Su Anshun’s eyes brightened at these words. “Yingquan, what do you mean?” he asked eagerly.
He Yingquan explained, “It’s simple. My father won’t work with the Su family, but I want to. My skills are second only to the head of the He family. Plus, I have two sons and many supporters. If Master Su is willing to accept us, I can bring my followers to Suzhou and Hangzhou to serve you!”
Su Anshun felt a wave of excitement. He thought, “My stubborn father won’t change his mind, but this He Yingquan seems genuine. If he has a group of followers to offer in Suzhou and Hangzhou, then my mission won’t be a complete failure.”
With that in mind, he quickly adopted a cheerful demeanor. “Haha, Yingquan, let’s talk!” he said, extending his hand to pull He Yingquan closer.
Meanwhile, at the He family mansion, He Hongsheng announced to everyone that the cooperation with the Su family was over. The family, which had planned to leave for Suzhou and Hangzhou early that morning, no longer had to go through the trouble.
After sharing this news, He Hongsheng took He Yingxiu to the ancestral hall at the family’s ancestral tomb. He wanted to inform the ancestors that he had successfully broken through four meridians. However, just as he was about to speak…
When the news spread that He Hongsheng had refused to work with the Su family, the He family felt both happy and sad. In reality, no family is completely united. Each member has their own interests and priorities. For many years, the He family seemed harmonious mainly because the elder had strong leadership and commanded respect. No one dared to go against him.
However, there’s a saying that stealing money is like killing your own parents. In this world, many people value money over family ties. If the price is right, most individuals might betray their loved ones. Everyone has a different idea of what that price is. For some, even a small pension of one or two thousand yuan could lead them to cut ties with their siblings. On the other hand, those who are financially well-off might appear friendly, but when it comes to fighting over a large inheritance, they will do whatever it takes against their relatives.
Now, He Hongsheng’s decision to decline the Su family’s cooperation offer of two to three billion was like drawing a line for the entire He family against this large sum of money. While some members didn’t care much about the money, others valued it above all else. Those who did care were furious, wishing they could take it out on the old man. Yet, Mr. He held such authority and respect that no one dared to confront him directly; they could only feel angry in silence.
In this tense atmosphere, He Yingquan decided to meet with a few family members…
After some convincing, nearly half of the people agreed to join He Hongsheng in serving the Su family in Suzhou and Hangzhou. Just as He Hongsheng was lighting three sandalwood incense sticks in front of the family ancestors, his youngest son, He Yingdong, rushed in and shouted, “Dad, something’s wrong! Big brother has brought about forty or fifty family members and is getting ready to go to Suzhou and Hangzhou with Su Anshun!”
