Chapter 40
The plan of the little bastard He Yuexun was particularly obvious, but he was using an open conspiracy. If Tian Guangqian did not have sufficient and sufficient reasons, it would be difficult for him to escape from this conspiracy he had planned.
Tian Guangqian now has only two choices.
One is to find an excuse not to go, but He Yuexun could just go ahead and hold the banquet, letting everyone know that Tian Guangqian actually refused to attend the banquet specially held to welcome his parents. In the eyes of everyone, Tian Guangqian's attitude also represents He Zhifeng's attitude to a certain extent. He Yuexun can take advantage of the situation to make everyone think that He Zhifeng completely ignores his family's kindness, and establish the image of a poor little guy who longs to get along with his sister but is suppressed by her everywhere.
If he wanted his parents to attend the banquet, that would be exactly what He Yuexun wanted. In He Yuexun's opinion, Han Xing's father and mother were both not presentable people. When they first entered the prosperous social circle of Shanghai, they would definitely be at a loss and make a fool of themselves. At that time, everyone would say that He Zhifeng had chosen such a family after careful selection, and then they would doubt He Zhifeng's vision. He would have a better chance to persuade He Zhifeng not to give up his happiness and marry a son-in-law for fear that the family business would not be able to be supported by his younger brother. His younger brother would always be the supportive family and a reliable support.
In He Yuexun's opinion, no matter what happens, he will definitely make a profit.
Tian Guangqian understood He Yuexun's plan and couldn't help but curse He Yuexun in his heart as a little bastard. Faced with this situation, Tian Guangqian couldn't help but have a headache.
Originally, he had no intention of letting He Zhifeng have contact with his parents, but He Yuexun tricked him. Tian Guangqian couldn't help but want to break up. If it really doesn't work out, then just break up. Whatever happens, after divorcing one rich woman, there are still thousands of rich women left.
But it is really hard to find someone as generous, rich and easy to get along with as He Zhifeng. Tian Guangqian felt a little reluctant when he thought about it.
Tian Guangqian felt that he could have a good discussion with He Zhifeng, so he didn't insist on not attending the banquet. Instead, he smiled and said to the person sent by He Yuexun, "We appreciate the kindness of Uncle and Yuexun. I will take my parents to the hotel to wash up first. We can contact each other later if they want to go to the banquet. After all, the journey is tiring and the elderly may not be able to withstand it."
The visitor looked at Han Xing's parents' rosy cheeks and said with a smile, "Then we must wait at home for the big fight between the master and the mistress of the in-laws."
As the family spokesperson, Han Xing's father didn't know the situation, so he didn't rush to agree or refuse. He just nodded slightly.
In Han Xing's father's opinion, it was better not to meet the in-laws who wanted his son to be a son-in-law! However, he thought that he could make it clear at the banquet so that Tian Guangqian would stop having this ridiculous love affair, so he did not refuse.
"It's not certain whether I will participate or not. You guys are putting a lot of pressure on me." Tian Guangqian said this in a joking tone, but what was his meaning?
The lack of proper etiquette during the month-long search puts the guests under great pressure.
"Master Tian, you must be joking." The man simply didn't believe that Tian Guang, who had the nerve to eat and drink at the woman's house, would feel pressured just because his parents were asked to attend the banquet? He thought so in his heart and said it out loud without disguising it.
Ignoring these time-wasting witticisms, Tian Guangqian dismissed them and said to his parents, "Mom and Dad, I've booked you a room in a grand hotel with a view of the Huangpu River. It's seven stories high, and the windows are brightly lit at night. This time you're in Shanghai, it's a great opportunity for you to experience the bustling city both day and night."
"Hmph!" Han Xing's father snorted coldly, "I want to see what kind of prosperity has blinded you. You'd rather spend your days hanging out with rich women than enjoy life."
Accustomed to his father talking like this, Tian Guangqian, who was thinking in his mind, didn't have the energy to refute his father. He muttered to himself, "After you enjoy yourself, you might also want to be with a rich woman. Unfortunately, you are old and your words are not as sweet as before, so there is probably no chance."
Tian Guangqian, who secretly criticized his father, stuffed the two people who were dazzled by the sight into a rickshaw and sent them to the hotel, then hurried to find He Zhifeng.
After discussing and analyzing with He Zhifeng, the two still felt that it would be better to let Tian Guangqian's parents attend the banquet.
In this case, Tian Guangqian naturally had to explain the situation of the He family to his parents.
So on the first day Han Xing's father and mother arrived in Shanghai, they listened to a lot of gossip about the He family.
When Yi Hanxing first heard about the simple family situation of his third brother's current lover, Hanxing's parents felt that this was not a sign of a prosperous family. Now, after listening to Tian Guangqian's detailed description of the situation, they felt that they had never seen such things in their lives for so long, and it was really an eye-opener.
Han Xing's father was a very proud person. He knew that this banquet at the He Mansion was a Hongmen Feast, so how could he not want to embarrass himself at the banquet? He quickly asked Tian Guangqian some precautions and started to practice with Han Xing's mother.
Being able to give birth to such smart children, excluding the extremely small probability that all three children have genetic mutations, from a genetics perspective, both Han Xing's parents are not stupid. The precautions that Tian Guangqian mentioned are the most important contents. Because they are concise, Han Xing's parents memorized them all at once.
"I thought Shanghai was so sophisticated, but after all, it's not as good as what our ancestors did." After Han Xing's father memorized all of it, he didn't forget to make a sarcastic remark.
"Yes, yes, Dad, you're so awesome!" Tian Guangqian said perfunctorily, then urged, "This banquet is supposed to be for us, so we can't arrive too late, or people will accuse us of being arrogant. We're getting ready to leave now."
"What else is there to say? Let's go!" Han Xing's parents urged Tian Guangqian instead.

Guangqian brought his parents to the banquet at He Mansion.
He Yuexun would naturally make it clear to her father and aunt if she wanted to hold such a banquet. The two knew that the main purpose of this banquet was to embarrass He Zhifeng, so they both actively cooperated.
As soon as he saw Tian Guangqian's parents, Yue Xun's father greeted them warmly: "Old brother, it's better to meet you in person than to hear about you for a long time!" Yue Xun's father thought to himself, I have heard a lot about you for giving birth to such shameless sons and daughters.
The thoughts of Han Xing's father and Yue Xun's father coincided at this moment. Han Xin's father felt that: For such a weird family like yours, seeing it in person is truly believing!
The two of them shook hands with a smile. Han Xing's father didn't even know the handshake etiquette as He Yuexun thought. He Yuexun's eyes widened immediately.
Yue Xun's father glanced at He Yue Xun, with a warning in his eyes. Yue Xun's father felt that his youngest son was still young and so impatient. Although they came from the mountainous area, it was normal for them to know the etiquette of shaking hands. The key was the things that were arranged later. Let's see how they would make a fool of themselves.
Yue Xun's father kept pulling Han Xing's father, the protagonist of this banquet, beside him, constantly introducing him to new friends. When a small circle had gathered, Yue Xun's father began to ask Han Xing's father, "I heard that women from Huizhou have always been the epitome of virtue and have been praised by the court since the previous dynasty?"
Han Xing's father nodded with a hint of pride.
"What a shame." Yue Xun's father changed the subject: "This beautiful virtue has not been passed down."
"You are right. The girls in our tribe are still virtuous and kind!"
Yue Xing's father recalled the few times he and Yi Hanxing had met by chance, thinking that he really didn't see it at all.
With this in mind, Yue Xun's father continued the topic he had brought up: "Old brothers, you still have a clan. If you have no children, would you adopt one or take over the other, or is there another way?"
"Of course he was adopted," said Han Xing's father.
"Is there no one who wants to marry into the family?" someone asked.
"Brother, you have so many sons, why do you want to find someone from another family to inherit your property?" Han Xing's father looked puzzled.
"You are right, old brother! I thought so too. You said that the children nowadays don't understand at all. There is so much discrimination against those sons-in-law in the society. How could such a good child like our Guangqian become a son-in-law? And tell me, how can this family business be passed on to daughters and not sons?" Yue Xun's father finally showed his true colors.
"That's right. I've never heard of a family with a son passing the family business to a daughter." Han Xing's father agreed.
"That's right, they just say that my current fortune depends on my wife's dowry and my brothers-in-law, so at least my wife has a stake in this business.
It would only be right and proper for the majority of the money to be passed on to my daughter." Yue Xun's father looked particularly distressed.
"Old He, don't say that. We all know that you were short of money before, so you borrowed some of your sister-in-law's dowry, and later you paid it back almost double!" He said in an obvious way that Yue Xun's father asked for help.
"That doesn't make sense. This is obviously the property you earned through your own hard work. Didn't you pay back your wife's dowry when you borrowed it in the beginning? How can it be their woman's thing?" Han Xin's father is not a person who would recognize the division of labor and joint property between husband and wife.
"Yes, yes, old brother, what you said touched my heart!" Yue Xun's father slapped his thigh and thought, finally, this guy said this, even your parents-in-law think that the family business should be inherited by their son, I don't believe that my daughter will continue to look for Tian Guangqian to marry? As long as He Zhifeng is determined to find a son-in-law, the few encounters he had arranged long ago will come in handy.
Yue Xun's father smugly echoed Han Xing's father's words and continued, "This has been the way it has been since ancient times. Even if it's a legitimate daughter or a bastard's son, the family business will be inherited by the bastard!"
Han Xing's father nodded in affirmation.
"So what's the problem with you saying I should hand over the family business to Yue Xun? But his sister won't agree at all. She would rather marry a son-in-law herself to take over the family business. How many of these sons-in-law are good people?" Yue Xun's father said, and then pretended to make a slip of the tongue and added: "Of course I didn't say Ji Jun!"
Han Xing's father ignored the slander against his son. After all, what he said was not entirely castles in the air. Han Xing's father only focused on correcting him, saying, "Brother He, you have a big problem here."
All the people gathered around looked at Han Xing's father in confusion: He clearly expressed his support just now, why did he suddenly make such a sudden change?
Han Xing's father said to Yue Xun's father earnestly, "I remember when your son was born, his concubine hadn't even entered the family yet, right? So he's not a concubine's son, he's a illegitimate son! Let's not talk about whether this child is yours or not. Even if the child is indeed your son, according to the rules of our ancestors, a illegitimate son can't be included in the family tree. If he can't be included in the family tree, what inheritance rights can he have?"
Tian Guangqian, who had pricked up his ears and secretly listened to the entire process from behind a pillar, couldn't help but laugh: This is truly using feudalism to defeat feudalism, using ancestors to defeat ancestors! !
