Chapter 241 The Prodigal Son’s Daughter 40

He Fei woke up and saw Jia Jia leaning on him. He must have been in this world before, but he couldn't remember it. It didn't matter. As long as Jia Jia was by his side, it didn't matter which world he was in.

He Fei rubbed Jia Jia's shoulders, but she didn't move and just leaned on him. After that, he carried her out of the car, put her on the bed, and wiped her face with face wash water. Jia Jia had stayed with him for two nights yesterday and the day before yesterday and had not slept at all. Now she was sleeping like a pig.

Zhou Hongyu also rushed back and said apologetically, "Xiao Fei, I'm sorry, I'm back late."

He Fei shook his head and said, "I'm fine. Jia Jia is with me."

Zhou Hongyu looked at Zhang Xiaojia. He Fei blocked Zhou Hongyu's sight and looked at him calmly and said, "Jia Jia is mine. Big brother, you can't like her."

Zhou Hongyu's forehead veins bulged as he said, "I just saw that she was sleeping like a pig."

He Fei said happily, "Jia Jia was worried about me and stayed up with me for two days. I didn't sleep much and I'm sleepy now."

Zhou Hongyu said, "Send me the address and I'll go burn some incense tomorrow."

He Fei thought for a moment and said, "I'll go with you tomorrow. I forgot to plant a ginkgo tree for the dean's mother."

Zhou Hongyu patted He Fei's shoulder and said, "Go to bed early."

The next morning, the weather was beautiful and sunny, with a warm air and a temperature around 10 degrees Celsius. The three of them, armed with their necessary supplies and tools, headed to the cemetery. Upon arrival, He Fei noticed a cypress tree blocking the view. He decided to remove it and plant a beautiful ginkgo tree in its place. This would provide a wider view and allow sunlight to better penetrate the cemetery.

Then, they went to visit their mother together. When they approached the tombstone, they were surprised to find a bunch of white chrysanthemums placed in front of the grave. Crystal clear water droplets still hung on the petals, obviously freshly picked flowers. This made them very confused, wondering who had visited their mother and left these flowers.

Zhou Qingsheng returned home, drinking tea,

Song Youyin came back and saw Zhou Qingsheng. She quickly said, "Asheng, you're home so early."

Zhou Qingsheng said softly, "Yinyin, sit down. It's been a long time since we've sat down and chatted."

Song Youyin looked at him with a smile, sat beside him, and said, "Okay, you haven't been with me for a long time. You were busy this year and didn't go on our annual trip!"

Zhou Qingsheng looked at her carefully and said, "My car's brakes broke yesterday. Thanks to the car's fully automatic backup system."

Seeing that he was fine, Song Youyin didn't pay much attention to him and casually said, "The car needs maintenance."

Zhou Qingsheng looked at her and said, "Today I went to see Xiaoyu and Xiaofei's mother."

Song Youyin's pupils suddenly shrank, a layer of sadness flashed between her eyebrows, and she couldn't help asking, "Why?"

Zhou Qingsheng sneered, the coldness between his brows deepening. "Although I married her, I never felt guilty about her. From the time we got married until her death, I kept nothing from her. We only had an agreement. Even our child was conceived through IVF. I never even slept with her. But Yinyin, what's going on with Xiaofei? Don't you owe me a reasonable explanation?"

Song Youyin's eyes flickered. She didn't dare look directly at Zhou Qingsheng and stammered, "What...what happened? You don't mean to say that I kidnapped He Fei, do you?"

Zhou Qingsheng snorted coldly, his tone full of questioning, "Isn't it true? The year Xiaofei disappeared, you withdrew 2 million yuan. What did you do with the money? From what I understand, you instructed your relatives in the countryside to kidnap Xiaofei and intend to sell him abroad. However, your relative happened to be pregnant, and her conscience arose. She didn't want to commit such a sin and wanted to accumulate blessings for the unborn child. So, they deceived you, telling you that they had sold Xiaofei abroad. In fact, they sent Xiaofei to a private orphanage on the outskirts of Haicheng."

Song Youyin cried and said, "Asheng, I didn't do it. They are talking nonsense. I really didn't do it. They are wronging me."

"When Xiaofei disappeared, I thought it was because I took Xiaofei out that day and answered your call that Xiaofei was kidnapped by human traffickers. Seeing that you blamed yourself as much as I did, I trusted you and didn't investigate you. I didn't expect that it was really like Zhang Xiaojia said, and it was you who planned it!" Zhou Qingsheng's tone was full of disappointment and heartache, he said slowly.

Zhou Qingsheng paused, took a deep breath, and continued, "When you and I were together, I told you clearly that I could never marry you because my mother would never agree. But I also promised you that as long as you were willing to follow me, I could guarantee that I would only have you as my woman and would never sleep with any other woman. At that time, you also happily agreed. Over the past twenty years, as a man, I believe I have given you everything you needed, including material and emotional needs. If you are dissatisfied with or disagree with our relationship, why don't you tell me directly?"

Song Youyin sneered and said, "You can get married, why do you have children?"

Zhou Qingsheng said coldly, "Our marriage is an arranged marriage. The Zhou family's business was in crisis and they needed funds to save it. The Bai family generously provided assistance. Of course, the Zhou and Bai families want a child! And this child must be the heir, it's that simple. It's impossible for us to use the Bai family's money to overcome the Zhou crisis and then let your child, Song Youyin, inherit the Zhou Group."

When Song Youyin heard this, tears couldn't help but flow down her face, and she asked in a trembling voice: "So, when your father passed away, you didn't fight for the inheritance and stocks. Do you think my two children are not worthy of your Zhou family's property?" Her heart seemed to be torn in pain, and she couldn't accept this fact.

Zhou Qingsheng, enraged, grabbed the teacup and hurled it to the ground. His eyes widened, his face flushed red as he angrily demanded, "I'm not a scumbag! I wouldn't do something like this: take someone else's money and then burn it! Marrying someone else for their own good is the norm, but relying on the in-laws to weather the storm, then kicking them out and handing the inheritance to their children, how can such a family last? Who would want to do business with such a family?"

I left the Zhou family, started my own business, and left my inheritance to your two children. What else are you dissatisfied with? You look down on my property and think it's too little. Song Youyin, I met you when I was 18, and now 25 years have passed. Now I don't recognize you. I gave you everything I could give you, except marriage. Since you don't value it, then I will take it back. My two children are already adults, so don't worry, I will leave my inheritance to them, but not all of it.
