He Jingjing was full of resentment.
He Jingjing didn't understand. Besides being a bit pretty, what was there about that bitch Zhou Yuanyuan that made the "system" wary? Besides, she was He Jingjing, He Shumin's granddaughter. How many people in Kyoto could she not afford to offend?
Seeing Wen Ziqing and Zhou Yuanyuan shopping and walking together affectionately, but feeling that she could do nothing, He Jingjing felt very unhappy.
However, the "system" warned her that if she approached Zhou Yuanyuan again, she would bear the consequences. Remembering the electric shock lesson that had left her worse than death, He Jingjing could only obediently obey the "system." However, she remained unconvinced.
Why didn't Grandpa listen to me? If He Jingjing hadn't wanted to keep some secrets to herself, she would have told He Shumin about Wen Ziqing's future achievements. However, the "system" warned He Jingjing that rebirth seemed a bit strange to ordinary people. If He Jingjing didn't keep it secret and told He Shumin all her secrets, she might not be favored by He Shumin. She might even be regarded as a demon and destroyed.
He Jingjing was somewhat terrified, and could only occasionally offer advice to He Shumin, claiming she could predict the future. After all, He Shumin was the patriarch of the He family, and the greater his achievements, the more comfortable the lives of his descendants, who lived under his protection, would be. Thanks to He Jingjing's advice, He Shumin miraculously avoided two major crises in his previous life: one, avoiding being demoted and demoted, and the other, securing his position when the top leader passed away six years ago. Because of this, He Shumin came to regard He Jingjing as his "lucky star."
Honestly, He Jingjing didn't remember much about her past life. She only remembered a few major events in China; she hadn't paid much attention to the rest. In He Jingjing's mind, her grandfather, He Shumin, would pass away in ten years. However, He Jingjing wouldn't tell He Shumin about these unpleasant things. Although she wasn't very smart, she knew that telling someone when they would die was a taboo.
Recalling how her proposal to He Shumin to marry into the Wen family had been rejected a few months earlier, He Jingjing was filled with remorse. She only had ten years left to find a good match. Otherwise, with He Shumin's death, how could she possibly be a match for Wen Ziqing, whose status was rising day by day?
Thinking of this, He Jingjing's anger intensified. If He Shumin had supported her engagement with Wen Ziqing, she would have been able to legitimately separate Zhou Yuanyuan and Wen Ziqing, and she wouldn't have to follow them around like a fool.
What was most annoying was that when Zhou Yuanyuan and Wen Ziqing were at the night market, if Zhou Yuanyuan's eyes lingered on a snack for even a few seconds, Wen Ziqing would immediately pay for it. Although the two of them didn't talk much, their seemingly tacit interaction made He Jingjing want to poke her eyes out. With a sour taste in her mouth, she watched Zhou Yuanyuan stuff her unfinished half-skewer of lamb into Wen Ziqing's mouth, who ate with a look of blissful satisfaction.
He Jingjing, frustrated by the constant displays of affection between the two, was deeply frustrated. Everyone said He Shumin loved her granddaughter the most, but who knew where this "love" came from? Without some "foresight" of her own, how could the old man have treated her so preciously?
Even if she valued her granddaughter, He Shumin still considered her a potential marriage partner. General Zhou's great-grandson? He was said to be a country bumpkin brought back from a remote rural area. How could such a person be worthy of He Jingjing?
The more He Jingjing thought about it, the angrier she became, but there was nothing she could do. When He Jingjing, filled with frustration, walked back to the He family, the entire Kyoto city was already ablaze with lights.
Seeing a Red Flag sedan parked in the courtyard of her home, He Jingjing rushed into the living room and called out loudly and sweetly, "Grandpa."
Although He Jingjing is somewhat dissatisfied with He Shumin, she always acts very close to He Shumin in front of other members of the He family. He Shumin's appreciation for He Jingjing is the basis for her dominance in the He family. Haven't you seen her half-brother He Qiusheng looking at her with eyes full of envy?
"Jingjing, are you out of school? Come, come to grandpa." He Shumin, who was wearing reading glasses, was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper. When he heard He Jingjing's loud voice, He Shumin immediately put down the newspaper in his hand and put on a smile on his face.
He Shumin had something to ask He Jingjing. He wondered if she had seen any footage of the Huaxia Southern War recently. He Shumin was furious about that incident at today's meeting.
When he first returned home, He Shumin was a bit irritable, but as time went by, his mood gradually calmed down. As one of the most important leaders in China, He Shumin always gave outsiders the impression of being wise and calm.
He Shumin had an argument with General Zhou at a meeting today because of the war on the border. He Shumin believed that the small southern country was weak in military strength, and that the 100,000 Chinese troops currently stationed on the border could easily defeat the small southern country. Why did General Zhou still send more troops to the border? Wasn't that a waste?
General Zhou believed that although the current war had not resulted in many casualties, it was not something to be taken lightly. Zhou Zhixin's special forces corps was well-suited for the jungle warfare in the south, and sending Zhou Zhixin to reinforce them would help reduce our casualties.
He Shumin and General Zhou had a quarrel over this matter. He Shumin seized on Zhou Zhixin's identity and made a big fuss about it, saying that General Zhou deliberately exaggerated the battle situation for his grandson's promotion and inserted Zhou Zhixin into the battle that was sure to win, in order to pave the way for his grandson to gain military merit.
He Shumin wouldn't have targeted General Zhou in this way, considering General Zhou had rejected his marriage proposal two days earlier. Furthermore, General Zhou mocked He Shumin to her face, calling her a "toad wanting to eat swan meat." Of course, the "toad" General Zhou was referring to was He Jingjing, the eldest granddaughter of the He family, and the "swan meat" was General Zhou's beloved great-grandson, Zhou Jiasheng.
General Zhou's ruthless rejection made He Shumin furious. His daughter Jingjing was beautiful and cute, and was overshadowed by He Shumin's glory, but General Zhou called her a "toad". Wasn't this a deliberate slap in his face?
Since the marriage failed, He Shumin did not give General Zhou any face. At today's meeting, he directly attacked General Zhou's "favoritism".
