496 Returning to the He family

Huo Gao had just brought He Mei back to the He family’s old house when he bumped into He Guo, He Wei and He Li, all three of whom had just been released.

“What happened to Xiao Mei? Let me take a look!” He Guo looked at He Mei’s face nervously.

“Father, you’re finally back! Look, Ma San did this to my face!” He Mei said aggrievedly.

He Guo wished he could kill Ma San now. He Mei’s good looks were the most valuable resource in his family. Now that her good looks were marred, how was she going to get married? What if He Ning became unhappy and married her off to a poor and remote village!

“Why are you so careless! How would this happen if you know how to be more careful!” He Li said sarcastically.

He had always hated the way He Mei bullied others. She could do that just because their little uncle liked her. What was so great about her? Now that she did not have this pretty face, she was just a defective piece of eye candy. She did not know how to run a business, and even needed to depend on the family’s help to keep her position at her workplace.

“You! How can you say that! That’s your elder sister!” He Wei said as he pointed at He Li.

“Alright, stop arguing. Go into the house quickly. Don’t you think the He family has been embarrassed enough for now!” He Guo said softly.

He Ning sat on a chair in the main room and drank his medicine. Today was the day his two brothers were released, so he had to take good care of them.

“My brothers, you are back. Sit down and take a rest,” He Ning said with a smile.

After they left, the He family’s house was also turned upside down. The situation at their house was no worse than what happened at the Xia family’s house. Huo Gao had to find many craftsmen and spent a lot of money to repair the house in such a short period of time.

“Youngest brother, you look so full of vigor and vitality. Do you know the kind of life we have inside!” He Wei said.

“Brother, are you blaming me? Are you blaming me for not getting you out earlier?” He Ning asked with a smile.

“So you know! Tell us what you’ve been doing! How long have you been out! Aren’t you worried at all that we’re still inside?” He Wei questioned.

He Ning slowly put down the bowl of medicine in his hand. He had not even settled the score with them yet, and he did not expect them to come and question him accusingly as soon as they returned.

They were only able to be released so early because he had spent a lot of money and asked for help from many people. Just the matter of selling firearms was enough to keep them locked up for the rest of their lives.

“I only manage to save all of you after pulling some strings. It seems that my brother thinks I’m not powerful enough. There’s already nothing more that I can do. Second brother can take over all the family matters. I’m tired too,” He Ning said.

He Wei had to swallow what he wanted to say when he heard what He Ning said. At this moment, everyone knew that the He family was nothing without He Ning. Even the beggars on the roadside might not think too highly of their family.

“Xiao Ning, don’t be angry. Your second brother is just joking with you,” He Guo said with a smile.

“Eldest brother, come to think of it, I have almost forgotten about something. Why didn’t you listen to what I told you back then? If not for the fact that the two of you still insist on doing the business done during our father’s generation, the Xia family wouldn’t have been able to find the evidence!” He Ning said.

“Aren’t we doing it all for the He family? It’s not like you don’t know the amount of expenses incurred by such a big family. I’m also forced into a corner,” He Guo said awkwardly.

He Ning smiled disdainfully. In the past, when he was still in good health, he was the one who managed the family business. Even if he did not do those things they did, he could cover all the expenses and still make a lot of profits. Even during the economic downturn, he did not really lose money.

“Eldest brother, when you’re free, why don’t you think about why the business started going downhill after I handed it over to you?” He Ning said.

He Guo was rendered speechless by his retort. After He Ning left the business, many connections were also gone with his departure. Losing many clients meant that the earnings were also reduced. He also had no choice.

“And that stupid daughter of yours, I haven’t even settled this matter yet and your daughter goes around to find someone to kill the child that Qiao Mei is carrying. Now that person still has a written agreement signed by your daughter. If it’s handed over to the Xia family, what do you think we should do, eldest brother?” He Ning said as he looked at He Guo.

“What!” He Guo could not believe his ears. In his eyes, He Mei had always been an obedient and adorable daughter and she had never done anything out of line.

As a girl who grew up pampered, she inevitably had a temper, but he did not think that she would go so far as to commit murder.
