Chapter 24
Saturday, He family.
The old man of the He family likes to be lively and they always have a dinner at the He family's old house on Saturday nights.
The He family is wealthy and powerful. Anyone who has some connection with the head office in L City would like to stay at the He family every day. There is no reason for them to be absent.
But He Jin doesn't come back often. Unless the old man really asks him to come back, he won't come.
Grandpa He also agreed with his wish, but even if he didn't come, he would reserve a place for him next to him. Anyone with a discerning eye could see how much Grandpa He loved and valued this grandson.
There are those who flatter him openly or covertly, and there are also those who he regards as thorns in his side, so he tries to turn a blind eye to them.
This week, He Jin took the initiative to come to the old house, which made Old Man He very happy. He was waiting in front of the door early, and when he saw He Jin, he pulled him into the study.
"Xiao Jin, I heard that you have a girl you like." Grandpa He smiled and picked up a black piece.
He Jin said calmly, "Yeah."
"Okay, okay. Our little Jin also has a girl he likes. When will you bring her back to show grandpa?" The old man smiled from ear to ear and looked at He Jin with a hint of expectation.
He Jin paused for a moment, "She's still in school."
"Humph, aren't you still in school?" Hearing this, Grandpa He was unhappy and knew what he was thinking: "You little brat, your grandfather is not a tiger, can I eat her?"
"This is very similar to your father." Mr. He suddenly said.
He Jin's eyes flashed, and the white piece in his hand fell to another place. He raised his eyes and smiled: "Grandpa, you lost."
Mr. He was silent for a moment, then laughed: "You little brat, you don't know how to be accommodating. Okay, go downstairs, wash your hands and eat."
"Yeah." He Jin responded, stood up and walked out.
Old Master He's gaze fell on the chessboard in front of him. The light in his eyes dimmed. He picked up the white chess piece that He Jin had just placed and placed it somewhere else. The outcome was completely reversed.
The old man smiled suddenly. This kid really broke the game well. As the saying goes, the disciple is better than the master, but being too good is not necessarily a good thing.
Almost everyone has arrived and is sitting in the large living room chatting, it's quite lively.
However, most people had other thoughts in their minds. They glanced at the stairwell vaguely, and when they saw someone coming down, they chatted with others as if nothing had happened.
Just like when he first came to the He family two years ago, the curiosity and scrutiny in those people's eyes remained the same.
Everyone had a pleasant conversation at the dinner table. He Jin sat next to Grandpa He without saying a word. Uncles and aunts who appeared out of nowhere asked him about his well-being. He just nodded politely. Grandpa He listened happily and basically answered his questions to avoid a dull moment.
The old man kept picking up food for him, fearing that he would be hungry, and the plate in front of him was almost full of food.
Everyone at the table looked at him with different eyes when they saw that He Yu, who was once the most beloved by the old man, was also ignored.
He Yu was so angry that he could not eat many bites of food, but he could not lose his temper on the spot. His eyes were fixed on him, and when he saw that he ignored him, his eyes became more and more angry.
After dinner, He Jin walked alone to a place in the backyard. It was very quiet and he could not hear the noise in the house.
The old house is built at the foot of a mountain. The mountain is not very high. There is a road leading to the top of the mountain. Someone takes care of the surrounding trees every once in a while, and the scenery is quite beautiful.
He Jin leaned against the wall, took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it, looked at the top of the mountain, squinted his eyes, and slowly exhaled.
My phone suddenly vibrated in my pocket. I took it out and unlocked it, and a message popped up: "I memorized fifty new words today. Proud JPG."
J: [Don’t go back on your word~ (*/＼*)]
In the morning, He Jin gave her a book of essential vocabulary, but she refused to take it and shook her head like a rattle. The two of them were in a stalemate for a long time. Seeing that she really couldn't escape, she began to make conditions. As long as she memorized a word, she would be rewarded with a kiss.
He Jin naturally agreed. There was no reason to refuse such a good thing.
But Jiang Xu didn't realize that he had sold himself out, and was happily counting money for others.
After returning home and struggling with English words for nearly an hour, I came here to take credit.
He Jin bit his cigarette, a smile on his face as he typed on the screen with both hands: [Yes, no regrets.]
As soon as I clicked send, someone popped up from the side and said in a bad tone: "Are you complaining to the old man again?"
When he thought of the way those people at the dinner table looked at him just now, he was so angry that he was about to burst into flames. It was obvious that the old man cared about him the most in the past, and he had endless capital to show off, but now all of it was taken away by him.
Seeing that He Jin didn't react at all, He Yu's anger grew even more intense. "I'm fucking talking to you, can't you hear me?"
He Jin only looked up at him at this moment, his eyes expressionless, as if he was looking at a dead object. He Yu subconsciously took a step back and said through gritted teeth, "Just wait, one day I will take everything from you."
"You can try." The dim light at the corner happened to be on Da He Jin's face, and the cold light in his eyes made people shudder. "It's better to give up the thoughts that shouldn't be moved."
He Jin has never been a good-tempered person. He disdains the fight with these people. If he wanted the He family, those people would not be sitting here peacefully now.
Before Mr. He took him back, he might have been thinking about the relationship between grandfather and grandson or feeling guilty about his eldest son, but now it is definitely more than that. Just because he has no ideas doesn't mean the old man doesn't have any. After all, who doesn't want the inherited empire to allow him to reach a higher level?
"Aren't you just relying on Grandpa's sympathy for you? Do you really think he will hand the He family over to a bastard?"
He Jin was still lazily leaning against the wall, looking at him with a look that was almost sympathetic. "Why not hand it over to losers like you? Wouldn't it be better for me to stay home and count my money peacefully?"
He Yu was instantly ignited, "You should fucking die with your dad."
"Get down on your knees, you bastard!" The old man came over at some point and slammed the ground with his crutch, causing a crack to appear on the stone slab under his feet.
Everyone knows that He Yaoguang’s death is the lifelong pain of Mr. He. Normally, no one dares to mention this person in front of him.
He Yaoguang was very successful back then. Although he was young, he was very clever and ruthless. In just a few years, he took the He Group to a higher level, firmly ranking among the top ten companies in the country, and embarked on the road of exploring overseas markets. The He Group was thriving, and Mr. He could have retreated behind the scenes, but he didn't expect such a thing to happen.
Mr. He's second son, He Wangjiang, is completely different from his brother. He is a real playboy who idles around all day. He even spent money to get his college diploma, not to mention managing the company's affairs.
That year, the He family seemed to have lost its backbone. Old Man He was depressed for a while, and it would be difficult for the He family to return to that height even if he returned to that position.
So the old man has been working so hard and has not been able to step down from his position. He Wangjiang's son has the same character as him, and his eldest son, whom he is proud of, has no children either. He really has no successor until two years ago when he found out that He Yaoguang and that woman had a son, and he excitedly took the child back immediately.
The first time he saw He Jin, the old man's eyes were filled with tears. He was exactly like his father, both in appearance and in temperament. One could tell at a glance that he would be a promising man in the future.
The facts turned out to be just as the old man expected. He tried to let He Jin handle the affairs of the company, and his methods were exactly the same as He Yaoguang's, or even worse, which convinced those who had doubts.
The only thing the old man didn't expect was that He Jin didn't want to stay at He's. When he offered He Jin a job there, he flatly refused. The old man knew He Jin had his own studio, and after all, he was young and energetic and wanted to strike out on his own. He believed He Jin would make the right decision later, so he wasn't in a rush.
"You bastard, kneel down!!" Seeing He Yu standing still, he was so angry that he trembled all over.
He Yu stiffened his neck and refused to kneel. The old man was so angry that he hit He Yu on the thigh with his crutch.
He Wangjiang immediately stood between the two of them and said, "Dad, calm down, calm down, don't get yourself hurt by anger."
After comforting the old man, he pulled his son over and said loudly, "You little brat, can you have some sense? What nonsense are you saying all day long? Apologize to your brother now!"
"Grandpa, I have something to do, so I'll leave first. You should go to bed early." He Jin didn't intend to let this farce continue to ferment. He just ignored the two of them, said something to the old man, and prepared to leave.
Seeing that He Jin ignored him again, He Yu was so angry that he was about to jump up and down. Even He Wangjiang, who had experienced many big scenes, did not look very good at this moment. The old man was also angry at this time. He agreed and let him go, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
………
He Yu was bound to be punished by the family law. He Wangjiang had tried his best to persuade him but to no avail. He could only watch his son being beaten. In fact, the old man couldn't bear it, but it really touched his heart. Besides, time was running out, and he also hoped that his grandson could understand something. No matter how much he couldn't bear it, he let his son be beaten with twenty boards.
The He family is not what it used to be. It has been going downhill in recent years, almost in a state of being strong on the outside but weak on the inside. The old man is almost eighty years old. To put it bluntly, most of his body is already in the coffin. How can he do now what he couldn't do when he was young?
Since his second son and grandson are both useless, the future of the He family can only depend on He Jin.
Even if he had done something wrong to the mother and son back then, he just hoped that his son in heaven would not blame him.
——
After this, there would be no movement from He Yu for a while. He Jin drove aimlessly on the street. Now was the time when the nightlife began, and the city was full of life. Looking at the neon lights on the street, people coming and going, endless traffic, and the hustle and bustle, he suddenly wanted to see his girl.
He thought so and did so.
After a while, he drove to the gate of Jiang Xu's community. There was a gate, so the car couldn't get in. He drove the car to the side of the road and stopped. He happened to meet a man selling candied haws. He remembered that Jiang Xu liked to eat them, so he bought a string.
The lights downstairs in Jiang Xu's house were dim, only the light in her room upstairs was on. He stood there for a while and sent a message.
Soon, a little head popped out from behind the curtains, then retreated in an instant. Then the lights downstairs came on, the door opened, and the girl rushed into his arms like a whirlwind, her little head tilted up, her eyes bright with surprise and joy, "Why are you here?"
He Jin hugged the girl's waist, feeling the warmth in his arms. The irritability in his brows disappeared, and he handed the candied haws in his hand to her, "Reward."
The girl's eyes were filled with smiles. She took the candied haws and suddenly hooked her arms around his neck. She tiptoed and quickly kissed the corners of his lips one, two, three, four, five times, giggling, "This is what I want."
He Jin was stunned for a second, then he put his arm around the girl's waist and lifted her up. He put his other hand behind her head, pressed her against the wall behind him, hummed, and leaned over to kiss her lips.
The hot and wet tongue went straight in, pried open the girl's teeth, and conquered her all the way.
The whole process was smooth and flowing, as if it had been premeditated. Jiang Xu's voice was still stuck in his throat before it was uttered by his lips.
After being together for so long, their kisses were just light touches. This was the first time for such a deep kiss. Jiang Xu was a little overwhelmed, but she still opened her mouth to cater to him obediently.
He Jin's movements were a bit heavy, and he bit her several times and hurt her. His stormy kisses seemed to be venting some emotions. Jiang Xu felt a little dizzy from the kisses, and vaguely sensed that something was wrong with his mood. She reached out and touched his back, patting him gently twice.
Feeling a slight force from behind, He Jin opened his eyes and saw that the girl had her eyes closed, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and her cheeks flushed.
Like a beast being appeased, his movements instantly softened as he licked her lips bit by bit, taking in all the sweetness of the girl.
A bright light suddenly shone over. Jiang Xu subconsciously opened his eyes, blinked once, then blinked again. He looked at the familiar car model, then at the license plate. Many words of national quintessence instantly skipped through his mind. He immediately hid his face in the boy's arms and said anxiously, "Brother Jin, you... don't turn around. My parents are back."
What's the thrill of nearly being discovered?
"..." The girl's muffled voice sounded, and He Jin came back to his senses. He took the girl and hid behind a pillar, and did not let her go until the car drove into the yard.
"Why come back now, if not earlier or later?"
Listening to the girl's whisper, He Jin lowered his eyes and smiled, "No one was discovered."
"Hmm..." If he had been discovered, he wouldn't still be standing here so quietly.
"Going back?" It seemed that not going back was no solution. Jiang Xu could only nod dejectedly, looking at him pitifully like an abandoned kitten, clearly terrified just a second ago. "Then... I'm going back?"
He Jin nodded: "Well, go ahead."
………
As soon as He Jin got into the car, a video call came in and he answered it.
"Brother Jin, my parents didn't ask me anything just now. They just let me come up to sleep. I feel a little sorry that I was scared like that just now." The girl lay on the bed, holding up her face to look at him. The light was warm yellow, and the scene was very cozy.
He Jin placed his phone on a stand, with the camera facing his face. He held the steering wheel with one hand and rested the other on the window sill, his eyes scanning down to the Adam's apple, the distinct jawline, the thin lips, the high nose bridge... Jiang Xu fell silent for almost an instant, staring blankly at the screen.
"Why aren't you talking?"
Jiang Xu felt hot. He blurted out, "Brother Jin, you're so beautiful! I really want to lock you up at home, so no one else can see you. I'll be the only one who can do whatever I want to you!"
"Hmm?" He Jin let out a muffled laugh from his throat, "Okay."
!!!
Jiang Xu blushed, trying to prevent herself from saying anything more lewd. She rolled over to the bedside, turned off the light, and leaned her phone against the pillow. "No more talking. Drive carefully, and remember to let me know when you arrive."
At first, Jiang Xu was staring at such a beautiful face that she really couldn't sleep at all. Thinking about He Jin's unstable breath when they just kissed, she buried herself in the quilt.
Seeing that it was pitch black on his side, he began to roll around in a very unruly manner. After rolling around, he opened the quilt to breathe, then smiled at the screen, until he was exhausted and his breathing gradually became even.
The journey that should have taken twenty minutes seemed to last longer today, nearly an hour. I didn't even get out of the car when I got home. I looked at the girl's hazy sleeping face and shallow breathing on the screen and whispered, "Good night, my girl."
