Yes! In Kyoto, if He Shumin stomped her feet, the ground in Kyoto would tremble. Who was so blind as to dare to kidnap He Shumin? Did they think their life was too long? After hearing what He Meiyun said, everyone fell silent again.
"Brother, think carefully, has our father offended some big enemy?" After a while, He Meining asked softly. He Meining is the youngest of the five siblings in the He family, and also the most intelligent one.
Although He Shumin was formidable, there were certainly more powerful figures in Kyoto. He Meining knew her father's ambitions, always striving for further advancement. Where there's a fight, there's always an enemy. Who knew if He Shumin had offended one of these powerful figures? Although He Shumin was formidable, he wasn't as impressive as those powerful figures.
He Boqian's expression changed. It was true that He Shumin had been planning to cause trouble for Zhou Jinyu these past few days, and He Boqian knew about this. But hadn't Zhou Jinyu been drugged by his own father? Did he escape with it?
The adults were in a bad mood, and the younger members of the He family didn't even dare to speak loudly. He Qiusheng sat obediently on Cao Yumei's lap, playing with his fingers. It was already He Qiusheng's usual bedtime, and he wanted to sleep, but he didn't dare to say it. He knew that his father was in a bad mood today. He was a good boy and couldn't let his mother be scolded by his father because of him.
He Yusheng and He Yingying also sat obediently beside their parents. Although they were impatient, they didn't dare to say a word. The aunts were not as easy to talk to as the uncle. If either of them dared to speak up now, they would definitely die an ugly death.
He Jingjing sat alone in a corner of the living room, half of her face swollen. She tried to shrink as much as possible to reduce the possibility of being discovered. After returning home this afternoon, He Boqian slapped her in the face, saying that He Shumin was missing and why she was okay.
For the first time, He Jingjing realized that her position in her father's heart was far less important than she had imagined. It wasn't her fault that Grandpa got into trouble. Why were these people blaming her?
After slapping his daughter, He Boqian's eyes never lingered on He Jingjing. He Boqian was filled with anxiety. Everything in the He family depended on He Shumin. If anything happened to He Shumin, his career would be over.
"Jingjing, think about it carefully. Did grandpa tell you where he was going? Why did you faint? When did grandpa disappear?" He Meijia, the eldest sister of the He family, rolled her eyes, walked to He Jingjing, took He Jingjing's hand, and persuaded her kindly.
He Meijia had just arrived. She had been to Miyun for a trip today, and when she returned home that evening, she learned that He Boqian had called several times to look for her. He Meijia was a little tired and hadn't wanted to come, but her husband persuaded her to come. Unexpectedly, such a big thing had happened at home, and He Meijia couldn't help but feel lucky to have made such a trip. Her eldest brother, He Boqian, was a vengeful person. If she hadn't come today, she wouldn't be able to rely on him in the future.
Therefore, in order to express her concern for her father, He Meijia kept asking He Jingjing questions.
He Jingjing had already answered the same question four times. When He Boyuan, He Meiyun, and the others arrived one after another, each of them asked the same question, and He Jingjing answered it the same way. Now, He Jingjing really didn't want to say anything anymore. She just wanted to sleep, a good sleep. After returning from the hospital, He Jingjing's head was still a little dizzy, and now being surrounded by these people, she felt even more dizzy.
It wasn't that He Jingjing didn't want to tell the truth. She had gone to the hospital with He Shumin today to get Zhou Yuanyuan's body. But even if she told the truth, the He family would have to believe it! Zhou Yuanyuan's body had secrets, and so did He Jingjing's own body. Secrets are secrets because, of course, the fewer people who know about them, the better.
If the "system" hadn't told He Shumin it was going to get more resources through her, He Jingjing would never have revealed her secret to her. The result? Because of this incident, He Shumin disappeared. If the He family knew that He Shumin disappeared because of him, He Boqian might have beaten her to death!
He Jingjing made up her mind that no matter who asked, she would not tell them why He Shumin went to the hospital. It was better to let people think it was someone else's fault than to let everyone think it was her fault. She was a selfish person. In her past and present lives, the He family had never helped her.
"Aunt, I really don't know. I fainted and I don't know anything." He Jingjing shook her head and gave He Meijia the same answer.
"Oh my! What should I do? I'm so anxious!" He Meijia gave up asking any more questions after realizing she couldn't get anything out of He Jingjing. After all, on the surface, He Jingjing was just a teenage girl. It was normal for her to not know anything, wasn't it?
Cao Yumei sat aside, holding her son, silent. She had long since realized that her role in the He family was merely a "housekeeper" and "cook." Anyone who meddled in the He family's affairs would be in trouble. Hadn't she seen her sister-in-law Liu Xiaoyan acting like a wooden figure the entire time?
Unfortunately, although Cao Yumei had good intentions, someone in the He family was unwilling to let her go.
"Sister-in-law, isn't your Cao family very powerful? Now is the time for you to contribute, right?" He Meiyu glanced at Cao Yumei with a squint and asked Cao Yumei to seek help from the Cao family. Ever since Cao Yumei married into the He family, He Meiyu had always been at odds with her. Somehow, He Meiyu never gave up on making trouble for Cao Yumei. In the past few years, because Cao Yumei had no children, He Meiyu said countless nasty things to Cao Yumei. For the sake of He Boqian, Cao Yumei endured it every time.
He Boqian didn't say anything. His gaze turned to Cao Yumei as He Meiyu spoke, his eyes full of inquiry.
"Boqian, let me take Qiu Sheng back to her parents' home to ask! Regardless of whether there is any news or not, it is at least part of what we can do." Cao Yumei stood up and said something. She knew that He Boqian was suspicious of her father, because her father was also one of the bigwigs.
If it weren't for her son's distress, Cao Yumei wouldn't have bothered to bring this up. However, since her good sister-in-law was so eager to draw everyone's anger towards her, she decided to take a break for now and take her son back to her parents' home to get a good night's sleep. Honestly, if He Shumin's disappearance was truly the work of Cao Yumei's family, she wouldn't be able to stay at the He family any longer.
"Well, thank you for your help, Meizi." He Boqian's tone was as low and charming as ever, but Cao Yumei found that the throbbing in her heart seemed to have disappeared.
