He Boqian knew his father's temper and knew that it was his "disobedience" during this period that made He Shumin angry. But it's no wonder, right? The most profitable "paradise on earth" was "given away" by He Shumin without a word, and even the woman he liked was given away by He Shumin...
As long as he thought about the vast green grassland above his head, and that the culprit was his father, He Shumin, He Boqian really didn't want to face it during this period. If his little golden house hadn't lost its hostess, He Boqian really didn't want to go home.
Thinking of Xuejiao, He Boqian thought of his wife Cao Yumei. He didn't know what Cao Yumei was up to during this period. She had taken her son He Qiusheng back to her parents' home for more than a month and was still unwilling to go home.
Tonight, He Boqian went to the Cao family. Thinking of the humiliation he had endured in the Cao family, He Boqian couldn't help but frown. At this moment, He Boqian really didn't want to stay in Kyoto. He wanted to go to Jinshi as soon as possible. When he made achievements in Jinshi, he would make those Cao family members who looked down on him feel bad!
"Dad, I want to go to Jin City, not Qing City. Please don't harm your son!" He Boqian saw He Shumin's profound smile and knew that his father was deliberately looking for trouble to criticize him. No wonder, the He family now relied on He Shumin for everything. With He Boqian's connections, he was not as successful in Kyoto City as Zhou Zhixin, the grandson of the Zhou family who was later found.
"Hey Boqian! Have you been hiding something from Dad these days? Let's talk it out. We're a family, and any misunderstandings can be cleared up. You're the one who's suffering by hiding things." He Shumin half-jokingly and half-seriously criticized He Boqian. Indeed, He Boqian's wings weren't strong enough yet. If He Shumin hadn't been supporting him, his "paradise on earth" would have been shut down long ago.
"Dad, I was wrong. It's okay now. I've let it go." He Boqian quickly bowed his head to He Shumin. The He family has more than one son. If He Shumin is really angry, He Shumin will turn around and support He Boyuan. Wouldn't He Boqian be able to watch helplessly?
"Is it about Jingjing? I know you're reluctant to let Jingjing go, but there's nothing Dad can do. If I don't let Jingjing go with that woman, how could she be willing to help our family get rid of those troublemakers? Boqian! A real man should make decisions when it's time to do so. Don't hesitate. It's just a daughter. It's not like my He family can't afford to have more. At most, I can let your Yumei have another one." He Shumin didn't realize his son was blaming him for the matter of "Paradise on Earth" and Xuejiao. He thought he hadn't informed He Boqian beforehand about letting He Jingjing go with Wu Xiuyun. After all, He Jingjing was He Boqian's first daughter, so it was understandable that He Boqian was reluctant to let her go.
"Dad..." He Boqian really didn't know how to explain such a perfect misunderstanding. Forget it, it's better to let his father misunderstand that he can't bear to part with Jingjing than to let him know the truth. Thinking of this, He Boqian was unwilling to hide the matter from the Cao family anymore.
"Dad, Yumei said she wants to divorce me. Tonight, those two old bastards from her family scolded me." He Boqian gritted his teeth as he talked about these two things. Cao Yumei's announcement of a divorce really surprised He Boqian. Hadn't Cao Yumei always loved him? How could she bear to leave him? As for Cao Yunfei and his wife, He Boqian had never had much respect for them. The reason was simple: He Shumin often called Cao Yunfei an "old bastard" and a "fathead" in front of He Boqian.
"Divorce? Yumei said that?" He Shumin was stunned. Speaking of Cao Yumei, everyone from the upper-class families of Kyoto City praised her for having a good son, and for making the Cao family's youngest daughter willingly stay home as a "housekeeper." And suddenly, the usually obedient Cao Yumei wanted a divorce?
"Boqian? Did you do something to offend Cao Yumei?" He Shumin hit the nail on the head. It was clear that He Shumin's observational skills were quite sharp. After so many years in the He family, He Shumin had a 99% understanding of what kind of person Cao Yumei was. Cao Yumei had always been completely devoted to He Boqian. If He Boqian hadn't done something that crossed Cao Yumei's line, she wouldn't have considered divorce.
"Dad, when a man is out socializing, it's inevitable that he will meet women. Yumei is too jealous..." When He Boqian saw He Shumin asking this, he didn't dare to lie to him, so he had to say it evasively.
"Boqian, you're so confused!" He Shumin couldn't understand what was going on when she heard this. He Boqian had a woman outside, and Cao Yumei happened to find out. Cao Yumei made a fuss and asked Cao Yunfei to intervene on her behalf and demand a divorce.
"Just play around with the women outside. It would be too careless of you to let Yumei find out. Or... did you deliberately let Cao Yumei know that you have someone outside?" He Shumin saw He Boqian's disapproving expression and felt a little surprised.
"Dad, I want to give her the cold shoulder so she'll be completely devoted to our He family. It would be best if we could go back to her parents' home and find Cao Yunfei to join forces with us." He Boqian's voice gradually sank under He Shu's sharp gaze. He really meant it. Had he done something wrong? Otherwise, why would his father look like he wanted to eat him?
If He Boqian was in his teens instead of his thirties, He Shumin would have wanted to slap him to death. No wonder old man Cao Yunfei had been looking at him these days with a face that looked like a mess and a nose that looked like a mess. He Shumin had assumed it was his scheme against General Zhou that had sparked public outrage, but he hadn't expected He Boqian's involvement to be involved.
Marriage is a marriage of convenience between two families. Marrying someone else's daughter and then deliberately torturing her is not marriage, but enmity! No woman will continue to love someone wholeheartedly after being treated coldly and violently. If such a thing really exists, it is not love, it is called "cheating."
He Shumin had arranged a marriage for He Boqian into the Cao family, figuring that the Cao family was powerful and Cao Yumei's brothers were capable. After his death, He Boqian could rely on this marriage to further his career. Now, He Boqian had turned a promising family into a hindrance. After He Boqian and Cao Yumei divorced, it would be a surprise if he didn't face retaliation from the Cao brothers-in-law.
"Dad, what's wrong with a man playing with a woman? Aren't you having fun out there? Didn't you even let your son's lover go?" He Boqian was frightened by He Shumin's sharp eyes and couldn't help but find an excuse to excuse himself.
In Xuejiao's drawer, there were many photos of Xuejiao and He Shumin! In some of them, both of them were naked, which made He Boqian furious.
