497 Disrespectful

“Eldest brother, don’t you believe what I say? She has already brought the evidence and she wants 100,000 dollars from me,” He Ning said teasingly as he looked at He Guo.

An amount of 100,000 dollars! 1,000 dollars was already considered a huge sum of money for an ordinary family, but she actually asked for 100,000 dollars!

“Did something really happen with the Xia family?” He Guo asked apprehensively.

He Ning nodded and said, “Although the staff from that hospital are more tight-lipped and they’re all the Xia family’s people, my people have gone in to take a look. Qiao Mei is indeed feeling very weak every day and her stomach has also become much smaller. The attitudes and behaviors of the Xia family members also seem to be real. I don’t think there’s anything untrue about this matter.”

He Guo turned to look at He Mei and reprimanded her, “Xiao Mei, do you know that what you did will harm the entire He family!”

He Mei was so frightened that she knelt on the ground with a plop sound. Tears streamed down her face as she grabbed He Guo’s trouser leg tightly and said, “Father, save me! I did all these to save Little Uncle and all of you! I was really at my wits’ end. Now, Qian’e says that we just have to hand Ma San over to her! Father, save me!”

Speaking of Ma San, He Guo already had the intention to settle the score with him. He was the one who disfigured He Mei’s face, so he was already a lost cause.

“Xiao Ning, how do you plan to deal with Ma San?” He Guo asked.

“Ma San is tied up and in the backyard right now and I’ve already gotten someone to teach him a lesson. He Mei promised Qian’e that she would send Ma San to a remote area and never allow him to come back. As for the rest, it’s up to you,” He Ning said.

“My brothers, I don’t think this matter can be resolved just like that. Have you thought about how we can explain ourselves to the Shen family? Eldest brother and I have already heard about what happened today. It appears that the baby Shen Na is carrying can’t be saved,” He Wei said.

He Ning had no intention of thinking about this matter at all. Every injustice had its perpetrator. No matter how anyone looked at it, this matter could not be blamed on him.

“Eldest brother should be the one thinking about this matter. I’ve only just gotten back and I’m still feeling weak. I don’t have the energy to do so many things.” He Ning put on a show of picking up the bowl of medicine.

“Xiao Ning, this is considered our He family matter. What if we become enemies with the Shen family at this point in time?” He Guo asked worriedly.

He was not afraid of losing the Shen family’s help, but he was worried that He Man would have a hard time in the Shen family. When they were young, he doted on He Man the most. However, for some reason, both He Wei and He Ning had always ignored her.

After their parents passed away, as the eldest brother, he had to go out to pursue his career. He left He Man behind to take care of their two younger brothers at home. When he returned home after finally making a name for himself, he realized that his two younger brothers were not close to him at all. Even He Man started to avoid his gaze and was unwilling to have a heart-to-heart talk with him.

Every time he asked them what had happened in those years, they would avoid answering him.

“Eldest brother, you should think about your own issues. He Mei probably can’t get married because of what the Shen family did, yet you still have the mood to worry about your younger sister,” He Wei muttered disdainfully.

He Guo was so angry that he smashed the tea bowl on the table. He pointed at He Wei’s nose and scolded, “That’s your elder sister! How can you say that!”

“Don’t involve me in this. She’s your younger sister and has nothing to do with Xiao Ning and me,” He Wei said.

He Li did not know about what happened in the past. He quietly went next to He Wei and whispered, “Father, what’s with He Man? Why are you so angry at the mention of her name?”

It was not his intention to be disrespectful and not address He Man as his aunt. It was just that when he was young and addressed her in this manner, He Wei gave him a hard slap and told him to shut up. He Wei told him never to address this woman in this manner ever again, or He Wei would beat him until he got the point.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

In the kids’ opinion, He Man was a nice person. When He Man first married into the Shen family, she still had some standing in that family. She often brought them delicious food and fun toys, and also bought them all kinds of fashionable clothes.

Little did they know that she was so nice to them only as a form of compensation to He Wei and He Ning.

“You little brat, get lost. You’re everywhere!” He Wei reached out and slapped He Li’s hand. The back of He Li’s hand immediately turned red from the slap.

He Li covered the back of his hand in pain and sat back down obediently, not mentioning this matter again.

“Younger brother, what deep hatred do you have for He Man? Our children have already grown up. Can’t we forget what happened in the past?” He Guo asked in puzzlement.
