Chapter 38 Date

He Xu knelt until the evening before Old Man He let him get up.

The living room was brightly lit. The old man was holding a cane, and the wrinkles on his brow were clearly visible.

"You've been kneeling for a whole day. Have you reflected on your actions?"

He Xu: “No.”

"You bastard!"

"Grandpa, please stop scolding me. He Qi has long been useless. If you don't teach him a lesson, he will never admit his mistakes."

Mr. He's shoulders relaxed, and he sat in the living room watching Xiao Wang change his medicine and walk out. Finally, he couldn't help but ask him, "You and the girl from the Shen family..."

He Xu leaned on the sofa, his eyebrows drooped, and a little smile and tenderness appeared in his dark eyes: "You haven't promised me yet."

Mr. He said disdainfully: "Bah, you are useless."

The old man was a popular handsome man in the capital back then, and there were many people vying to marry him. Although he didn't want Chen Tang to be his grandson's wife, he felt embarrassed that his grandson couldn't even get a woman.

He has a slutty look on his face, it's really unbearable to look at!

He Xu was delighted: "So you agree with us?"

Old Man He watched Chen Tang grow up, and the two families knew each other well. If the person Chen Tang was talking to today was his other grandchildren, he would definitely be grinning from ear to ear.

But He Xu is his chosen heir and the backbone of the He family.

The wife cannot be without foresight, nor can she be cowardly and hold back.

But Chen Tang is just such a person.

He didn't even understand what his grandson saw in her.

But if He Xu really likes her and wants her, he won't really break up the couple.

After all, He Zheng’s example is there.

He Xu is even more paranoid than his father.

Even if he objects, what can we do? We are in the same unit, and it will be of no use even if he disagrees with applying for marriage.

It would be better to let them make do with it for now.

It would be best if Chen Tang could really change for the better.

He also knew that if he couldn't change for the better, the two of them would be separated sooner or later, even though they were the grandson he had taught.

Mr. He doesn't want to get involved in these matters anyway.

He is old, and he doesn't want to see the grandson he has raised so well end up like He Zheng.

And I left him.

The old man didn't want to talk: "What's the use of me agreeing or not, can you still listen to me?"

He Xu raised the corner of his lips: "That's true."

Mr. He: "...Unfilial grandson!"

He sighed and said, "Forget it. Since you have made your own decision, I will not care about you anymore. I have already distributed all the things I have. The only things left are this heirloom and what your grandmother left. I will give them to you now so that others will not be concerned about them."

In fact, he still has some antiques, but they are not worth much these days, and his sons and grandsons were unwilling to take them when they divided the property.

The heirloom he was talking about was a pair of glass bracelets left by his ancestors. He thought they were pretty good, so he planned to take them out and let He Xu take them away.

So that others won’t be thinking about what he has in his hand every day.

He Xu's grandmother was once a lady from a wealthy family and received several houses as dowry, but he donated these houses and exchanged the remaining gold and silver for money.

He didn't give it to He Zheng, intending to leave it to He Xu.

He Xu took the passbook and looked at it, then raised his eyebrows: "There are so many. No wonder uncle and his friends are always staring at me, afraid that you will leave everything to me."

Old Man He thought of those unfilial sons and his face turned unhappy: "I did leave some money, but that is for my retirement. You unfilial descendants are not worth it for me to take out a little bit!"

He Xu smiled and said, "I'm not thinking about your retirement money."

The money in this passbook is enough for his family to use for a lifetime.

If his father knew that the old man gave all of grandma's money to him, he would probably be furious.

When He Zheng was separated from his father, he received a few thousand yuan as separation fee.

He and Zhang were so happy that they didn't realize they were almost being laughed to death by the people from the other two families.

The one in front of Mr. He has some good things in his hands, so supporting the first wife is not a problem.

The last one, although he also moved in with the people from the third room, was loved by the old man and must have received some subsidies privately.

His father thought that the old man loved him, but in the end the old man only gave him a small amount.

He Xu limped to his feet and said, "Okay, I have something to do tomorrow, so go to bed early tonight."

Mr. He looked at him doubtfully. Was this kid going on a date tomorrow?

He said earlier that the girl didn't like him.

The old man snorted. Although he was old, his eyes were still bright. If the girl from the Shen family didn't like his grandson, he could take the old man Shen's surname!

I thought of the scene where Old Man Shen raised his cane and cursed when he found out that his granddaughter and his grandson were together.

The depression in his heart immediately dissipated a lot.

Sure enough, people are formed by comparison.

Chen Tang didn't sleep much that night, and he got up early the next morning and began to excitedly look for clothes in the closet.

Mr. Shen and Lu Yanzhou went out to practice Tai Chi.

My second sister-in-law and second brother also went to work.

Only Father Shen and Mother Shen were left sitting in the living room eating breakfast with Shen Tang.

Father Shen was puzzled when he saw his daughter wearing a blue plaid tutu, her hair tied with a bow, and a little lipstick on her lips, which made her look beautiful and youthful.

"Where are you going, kid, so early in the morning?"

Mother Shen smiled gently: “I guess he went out with the kid from the He family.”

Father Shen: “Didn’t Dad disagree?”

The old man always told them to find someone to date for their daughter as soon as possible, but they were busy with the old man's birthday and work, so even if they found a suitable person, they still had to find out about his character and family background.

After more than ten days, I still haven't found a suitable blind date for my daughter.

Father Shen was satisfied with Lu Yanzhou, but Mother Shen didn't want her daughter to suffer after marrying him, so she was unwilling to let Father Shen bring the two together and just let them let nature take its course.

"Can you stop a relationship just by disagreeing with it?"

Father Shen glanced at her and said, "You seem to be more optimistic about the boy from the He family?"

Mother Shen rolled her eyes at him.

If I have to choose between Lu Yanzhou and He Xu.

Of course she was more satisfied with He Xu.

Firstly, He Xu and He Zheng had a falling out, and without their parents’ pressure on them, their families knew everything about the situation.

Secondly, she had taken care of He Xu for a period of time, and his personality was not as bad as people in the compound said. This child was quite loyal and righteous.

Unlike Lu Yanzhou, she knew nothing about his character or family situation.

"If we weren't in such a hurry to leave, I would definitely keep my daughter until she's 20 before getting married. I wouldn't agree with anyone, let alone He Xu."

But now that they are gone, we might not see each other for several years.

With her younger sister Zhou Ling looking after her, she is assured about Tangtang's safety.

But even if someone is looking after it, there are still places that cannot be taken care of.

What if her daughter was plotted against by someone and something happened? As they were so far away, she was afraid that she might not even receive the news in time.

But if she marries He Xu, given He Xu's personality, he will definitely take responsibility for Tangtang's future, and she can rest assured about her daughter's major life events.

How could Father Shen not know?

No matter how much the old man objected, he just turned a blind eye and kept it a secret, allowing the two of them to develop their relationship slowly.

Father Shen looked at Mother Shen, his cold eyes were gentle: “I’m sorry, I made you suffer with me.”

Mother Shen leaned on his shoulder, chuckled and shook her head: “How can it be hard for a couple to support each other.”

The September morning weather was a bit chilly, and Chen Tang didn't wear an extra layer of clothing in order to look good.

The blue plaid skirt flutters slightly in the wind, like a blue enchantress blooming in the quaint scenery.

He Xu rode over on his bicycle, and his usually cold eyes softened a little.

Seeing that her clothes were thin, he took off his military jacket with a stern face and put it on her.
