The next day, when Su Ning woke up, there was no one beside her. Recalling the wedding night, Su Ning's face burned.
He Ci is so despicable. He knew there were people eavesdropping outside, yet he still deliberately caused trouble by shouting so loudly at night. I bet everyone heard him.
Last night, apart from He Ci's parents staying at a hotel in the county town, everyone else stayed at Zhu Zhou's home.
Zhu Zhou's house is a three-story villa, and its interior decoration is comparable to that of a hotel in the county town. His house has a lot of rooms, which is more than enough for all these people.
Breakfast was eaten at Su Ning's house. The dishes from yesterday's banquet were not used up, and Li Mei couldn't possibly cook for so many people, so in the end, she asked yesterday's chef to continue cooking today.
He Ci went to the county town early in the morning. He had a lot to say to his parents alone. He Jin stayed in the village yesterday, so now only the three of them were left in the room.
Zhu Xia was very happy to see her son early in the morning. She was too busy yesterday to spend time alone with him, so she wanted to take this opportunity to ask him questions.
He Zhan didn't put on airs this time either. From the moment he decided to attend the wedding, he knew he couldn't control the situation. As long as his son didn't become a live-in son-in-law, he could do whatever he wanted!
Li Mei also hopes her son will be happy. Now that their family doesn't need gang-related marriages, they no longer object to whoever He Ci wants to marry.
"Why are you here so early? You just got married yesterday. Shouldn't you be home spending more time with your wife?"
He Ci sat opposite his parents. "Dad, Mom, you must have heard that the Su family has been very good to me since you were able to find this place. I'm very happy to be here."
Zhu Xia sighed. "Silly son, Mom knows you're wronged. We were forced to let you marry Yu Ping back then. You've made such a huge mess, and someone has to pay for what they've done."
"I understand that you're standing up for someone you like! You've also paid the price. After you get married, you're an adult, so think twice before you act."
"Now everything is back to normal. Our family no longer needs to sacrifice your marriage to maintain the He family's status. You have also married the person you love and will live a good life with Su Ning from now on."
He Zhan walked over and handed a share certificate to He Ci. Once people get older, all they think about is family.
"This is the betrothal gift for your wife. The lawyer has already taken care of the formalities before we arrived. I don't want my son to become someone else's live-in son-in-law. The He family can't afford to lose face like that."
"Your mother and I will be heading back tomorrow. You and that girl should pack your things and go back together!"
He Ci refused outright, not because he didn't want to go back, but because the time wasn't right yet.
"Dad, you and Mom go back first. I still have things to finish. The people in Hong Kong don't know I'm out yet. I'll go back when my sentence is over."
He Zhan didn't understand his son's meaning. "Why wait until your sentence is over before going back? There's no one in the gang who can threaten our He family now."
“Dad, if I go back now, the people who protected me will lose their jobs. They went to great lengths to release your son, we can’t repay kindness with enmity.”
Needless to say, He Zhan guessed who it was. "Was it Gao Yaoguang who brought you out? Bai Yi doesn't have that kind of ability."
He Ci smiled without saying a word. Soon, there was a knock on the door. Feng Fu stood outside the door, feeling very uneasy. The person inside was the head of the Hong Kong gangsters, his idol.
After the door opened, Feng Fu greeted him with a smile.
"The three of you, breakfast has been prepared. You may go down for your meal now."
He Ci walked to the door and said, "Thank you, Lord Feng, for hosting my parents. I will remember this favor."
Feng Fu dared not call himself "master" in front of these two men; that would be suicidal. He was just a local bully, and compared to the real big shots in front of him, he wouldn't even be worthy of carrying their shoes.
