Why is he still standing here like a post after his wife and daughter have all passed away?
Old He said, "She'll be even angrier if she sees me chasing after her."
Jian Yu: "So, you just let her get angry and don't try to comfort her?"
Old He said, "She'll yell even harder when she sees me, but don't worry, she'll be fine once she calms down."
Jian Yu nodded. "I think your divorce is quite good for your wife."
Old He, “…”
If anyone else had said this, He Xing would have gotten angry immediately, but today she surprisingly listened to Jian Yu's words.
Thinking about the reason for her breakup with Lao He, He Xing became depressed. "So many years have passed, why are you still like this?"
Old He, "Huh?"
He Xing felt an itch on his fingers. "Back then, your mother wanted to introduce you to her friend's daughter, and she wanted me to break up with you. She told me while you were in the bathroom that you were just playing around with me and that I wouldn't be your future spouse. You didn't believe me then and even said I was wronging your mother, so I broke up with you in a fit of anger. Over the years, I've held a grudge against you, but just now, when I saw your mother's WeChat Moments post that was only visible to Jia Cheng, I suddenly felt relieved. You know your mother's personality; you just pretend not to know and try to smooth things over. Maybe none of us are as important as your mother in your eyes. You're a filial son, and your thoughts aren't wrong, but you've forgotten one thing: you're now a daughter's father, and your actions show that you're not a qualified father. It's ridiculous that I used to feel jealous when I saw how much you loved her, and even fantasized about whether we would have such a lovely daughter if we hadn't broken up back then. But right now, I only have one feeling: thank goodness I wasn't the one you married."
Old He's expression changed drastically, "You..."
"Bang---"
He Xing swung the bag in his hand, "I've wanted to beat you up for a long time."
Old He covered his eye socket, which was now even more injured, and remained silent for a long time.
After hitting Lao He, He Xing walked towards Jian Yu and said, "Lao He is a very talented person. He may have flaws and not be a good husband. But he is absolutely serious and responsible at work. I hope you don't mind what happened earlier and can continue to invest in his movies."
Jian Yu said, "Actually, I'm a little bothered by it."
Upon hearing this, Lao He panicked, put down his hand covering his eyes, and ran over. "President Jian, Jia Cheng and I rarely have conflicts. Today, I really didn't handle the family conflict well. I'll go home and find Jia Cheng right away."
Jian Yu paused for a moment.
Old He felt increasingly uncertain. "President Jian..."
Jian Yu said, "I think you should ask your mom first: is having coffee with an old friend really that important? Is it more important than taking care of your sick granddaughter in the hospital?"
Old He, “…”
Jian Yu said, "I don't like people who can't handle family disputes. I need to consider the collaboration. After all, I invested in your movie without expecting to make money."
Not for making money?
It's simply a matter of appreciating talent and wanting to make a good movie.
He Xing was very surprised, "Isn't the purpose of investing to make money?"
Having worked in this industry for so long, this was the first time she had encountered such a situation.
Old He was clearly even more anxious than before. "President Jian, I will handle the family conflict. I hope you won't withdraw your investment."
Jian Yu: "We'll talk about it later! I should go back now, bye!"
Old He dared not stop him.
He just stood there, gazing at Jian Yu's back in a daze.
Seeing Old He's disappointed look, He Xing couldn't help but laugh, "Stop looking. Looking won't bring him back."
Old He sighed.
He Xing: "Actually, I'm very curious. Did you really not know that your mother wouldn't go to the hospital? There was something you didn't finish saying earlier. Did you tell your mother that she refused and asked Jia Cheng to take leave to go? You knew Jia Cheng couldn't leave right now and couldn't think of a better solution, so you sent Jia Cheng a WeChat message saying that you had to leave the hospital first and that your mother would arrive shortly. You knew that Jia Cheng would be worried after seeing the WeChat message and would definitely rush to the hospital immediately. That way, someone would be watching over your child."
Old He's eyes began to dart away.
He Xing's eyes widened. "You really think that way? So your mother really did reject you to your face?"
"Old He!"
A loud shout.
Jia Cheng ran out from the nearby green belt, "Oh! So your mom rejected me back then, and you lied to me?"
Old He instinctively turned to leave.
He Xing reached out to stop him, "Jian Yu hasn't left! Think carefully before you try to hide."
Old He hurriedly looked in the direction Jian Yu had left and found that Jian Yu had indeed been attracted back by Jia Cheng's loud voice.
Old He, “…”
"Slap slap---"
Two resounding slaps landed on Lao He's face. "Lao He, you truly are your mother's son, just as cold-blooded."
Old He didn't dare to fight back and could only back away. "The baby was asleep at the time, and I thought she could hold out until you came over."
"You're still making excuses."
Jia Cheng grew increasingly angry as he listened, shoved the child into He Xing's arms, rolled up his sleeves, and started beating him.
He Xing held the child tightly in her arms, afraid that he might fall off.
Old He didn't want to be beaten up in the street, so he pushed Jia Cheng aside and ran in the opposite direction from Jian Yu.
Jia Cheng took two steps, stopped, turned around and took the child from him. "Your dad ran away. Let's go back to the hospital first."
He Xing, "Has the child's fever not broken yet?"
Jia Cheng glanced at her before saying, "The fever had gone down, but then I cried and vomited at the hospital, and I caught a cold before I got there."
He Xing gritted his teeth, "Old He deserves a beating."
Jia Cheng retorted sarcastically, "Aren't you going to stop me anymore?"
He Xing said, "I didn't know he would leave his child alone in the hospital, and I never expected his mother to be so awful."
Jia Cheng's face contorted with anger. "His mother has gone too far in many ways. Before I came to you, I called his mother and questioned her about why she didn't lend a hand in a time like this?"
He Xing could tell at a glance that the other party was adding fuel to the fire.
Jia Cheng said, "Her mother said she just wouldn't help. What can I do to her? If she's not satisfied, she can get a divorce and leave with the child."
"..." He Xing was once again relieved that this kind of person hadn't become her mother-in-law.
“Your address was also given to me by his mother.” Jia Cheng looked at He Xing. “She also said that Lao He had dinner with you alone.”
"......", He Xing, are you trying to stir up trouble?
Jian Yu was speechless.
How did Jia Cheng manage to tolerate such a troublemaking mother-in-law for so many years?
Jia Cheng walked up to Jian Yu and said, "You must be President Jian Yu, right? I heard Lao He mention you a few days ago. I hope you don't mind that I made a fool of myself in front of you today."
Jian Yu, "Are you trying to speak up for Director He?"
Jia Cheng nodded, "I hope you can give him a chance."
Jian Yu, "You want me to help him?"
Jia Cheng: "Yes."
Jian Yu asked, puzzled, "Why? Didn't you want a divorce?"
