Chapter 281: Her Mother's Relics

"How did you get in? Who let you in?"

As soon as He Zhiyu went downstairs, he saw Xu Xiaoyue sitting on the sofa.

She had been troubled by her mother's affairs these past two days. Now she saw Xu Xiaoyue sitting on the sofa just fine, even with beautiful wavy hair, and her small face was full of gloating. She was so angry that she couldn't even finish her words.

Before Xu Xiaoyue could speak, Mr. He next to her put down his cup and reprimanded her in a serious tone: "Xiaoyu, apologize."

"This is your sister, not an outsider, why can't she come in?"

Mr. He had a stern face and looked frighteningly serious.

Xu Xiaoyue waved her hands quickly, "No, no, I don't have a sister as ignorant as her."

Mr. He's calculations were too big. She never thought of becoming a member of the He family when the family was prosperous. Now that the He family can hardly save itself, he still wants to drag her into the quagmire.

"Grandpa, if it weren't for her, how could Mom be taken away by the police station?"

If we were to say who He Zhiyu hates the most right now, it would be Xu Xiaoyue in front of him.

It was not enough that he wanted to come back and snatch her identity, he even cruelly reported He's mother.

She shouldn't have come back alive since the He family was in such a mess.

He Zhiyu was young and just couldn't keep her cool, so what she thought in her heart showed directly on her face.

"Okay, if you really have nothing to do, then leave first. We don't need you here."

Old Master He had an ugly look on his face. He used to think that He Zhiyu was just a girl and he neglected to discipline her, allowing Aunt He to spoil her.

Now that all the bad things have been exposed, Mr. He realized how unreasonable He's mother had taught him to be.

He Zhiyu was not convinced. Her eyes were red and she looked like she had just cried.

"Grandpa, she is the murderer who harmed our He family. Why are you still favoring her now?"

"Auntie Wang, take her away to me."

The veins on Grandpa He's forehead were throbbing with anger, and he had no choice but to turn around and look at Yan Ye who was beside Xu Xiaoyue, with a barely perceptible tone of submission in his voice.

"Xiao Ye, your father and I are old friends. This time, the He family was indeed at fault."

"But that person is Xiaoyue's great aunt after all, and she is now locked up in the police station. It would be too unjust for you to kill the He family."

Having said this, Xu Xiaoyue turned to look at Yan Ye. The man just drank a sip of tea with a calm and indifferent expression.

"I don't understand what the old man said."

Xu Xiaoyue understood immediately that he was pretending to be stupid.

Mr. He's expression became even uglier now, and the wrinkles on his old face looked a little scary.

Xu Xiaoyue was kidnapped right after and the He family met with disaster right after. He simply didn't believe that Yan Ye had nothing to do with it.

Old Master He even hated Aunt He at this moment. He had originally thought of letting Xu Xiaoyue return to the He family to recognize her ancestral roots, but she was the one who prevented him.

If Xu Xiaoyue was a member of the He family at this time, he didn't believe that Yan Ye would treat the He family like this, as it is the principle that they all prosper together and suffer together.

Mr. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he seemed to have made some important decision.

"The He family has some savings anyway. If we continue to fight, both sides will suffer. It's better to make a deal."

"Aunt He is at your disposal. I will remove her from the He family and we will have no relationship from now on."

"As for Xiaoyue, since she is the bloodline of the He family who has been lost outside, I will communicate with several other elders in the clan in a while and let her recognize her ancestors and truly become a member of the He family."

Xu Xiaoyue's eyes were rolling to the sky, but she wasn't so eager to take over the mess.

Yan Ye didn't say anything, but thought about it secretly in his mind.

The atmosphere was deadlocked for a moment. Mr. He looked at the two of them and asked, "How is it?"

What he wanted was not his granddaughter Xu Xiaoyue, but Yan Ye behind her.

Mr. He was regretting his decision so much at this moment. If he had known that Xu Xiaoyue was the fiancée Yan Ye mentioned, he would have been worrying too much.

Yan Ye put down the teacup and said, "I will follow Xiaoyue's advice."

Mr. He's anxious gaze fell on Xu Xiaoyue's face. She shrank back and looked secretly at Yan Ye.

He knew that if he really did what she wanted, it would definitely not work!

Since there is no clear rejection, it means that you want to leave some room for maneuver.

Xu Xiaoyue smacked her lips and looked at Mr. He in front of her, "I'll go back and think about it."

After she finished speaking, she carefully tugged at the corner of the man's clothes next to her.

Yan Ye couldn't help but smile when he saw that she was afraid of getting into trouble. He didn't know who was the one who wanted to watch the fun at the beginning, but now she is afraid. He was not too stupid.

"Then we won't bother you any more."

Yan Ye stood up, as if he really came here just to visit the He family.

He took Xu Xiaoyue's hand with his big hand and prepared to walk out.

How could Mr. He be willing to let him go? This is the He family's last hope.

"Wait a minute, can you let Xiaoyue and I have a word alone?"

The old man looked at Xu Xiaoyue, who hid beside Yan Ye. What did she have to say alone? She was not familiar with the He family, and she had just mocked He Zhiyu in front of the old man.

She was well aware that someone who showed too much kindness for no reason was either a traitor or a thief.

"No need, just say whatever you want to say right here."

Xu Xiaoyue shook her head and directly rejected the person.

Yan Ye took a step forward and blocked Mr. He's sight. "Grandpa, if you have anything to say, just say it. Xiaoyue and I are a family. We have no privacy from each other."

Mr. He's face stiffened. He felt a little embarrassed when the younger generation ignored him time and time again.

"Whatever. There's no such thing as privacy."

"When your mother passed away, she left some belongings behind. She said that if she could find you, she would give them to you directly."

"If I can't find you, I'll wait a hundred years and burn it for you."

Xu Xiaoyue was stunned for a moment, and felt a little sad after she reacted.

Now that she is a mother herself, she knows how difficult it is to be a mother.

When little He Zhizhu went missing, probably the person who was most sad and upset was her mother.

All these years, what kind of mentality should she have to convince herself to accept the outcome that her daughter might have died?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help feeling uncomfortable.

"What is it?"

Xu Xiaoyue couldn't help but ask.

She had made up her mind that if they were inexpensive items, she would accept them, just to leave a trace of her biological mother for the original body.

If it is too valuable, she... will just pretend that she has not heard what was said today. She can still tell what is important and what is not!

Thinking of his young daughter and wife who passed away young, Mr. He's eyes revealed a bit of fragility. After all, he is old and can no longer bear the burden of the He family.
