He Yanzhang indeed didn't eat.
Ever since he learned about the two children, He Yanzhang's heart was burning with anxiety and he wanted to fly to Daxingtun to see them.
Fortunately, when he learned the news, He Linyuan had just arrived in Beijing with his wife and children. He Yanzhang found out the address and came to find him.
He wandered outside for a long time. The courtyard was not big, and laughter could be heard from inside.
He Yanzhang felt like he was scratched by a cat and couldn't help coughing to attract their attention.
"good."
Under his daughter's fiery eyes, He Yanzhang walked in openly with his hands behind his back.
He Rui couldn't stop him and vented all her resentment on He Linyuan and Song Li.
"He's cut off all ties with us. He's no different from a stranger. Why let him in? It's a waste of food!"
Compared to He Linyuan's silent resistance, He Rui's resentment was much heavier.
When He Yanzhang heard her words, he paused and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.
He owes too much to his children, so it's reasonable for He Rui to hate him.
The He brothers and sisters were like a saw-mouthed gourd, silent and like a powder keg that could be ignited at any time. The atmosphere was really awkward.
Song Li turned around and went to the kitchen to get a bowl of noodles and placed it in front of He Yanzhang. "I came back in a hurry, so just eat something."
"It's already very good." He Yanzhang was flattered by Song Li's attitude.
He Linyuan's personality is just like his, taciturn. He can't get along with his children, and naturally he can't get along with his daughter-in-law.
But Song Li took the initiative to accept him and served him noodles. He Yanzhang lowered his head and took a bite to hide the warmth in his eyes.
"My mother's cooking is delicious, isn't it? My favorite is tomato and egg noodles."
Qingqing sat next to He Yanzhang holding a bowl. Although she was young, the girl was smarter than anyone else and had already guessed He Yanzhang's identity.
Although she grew up with her grandparents, she is still very curious about them.
The little girl's soft voice made He Yanzhang turn his head. When he saw her face, He Yanzhang looked a little stunned.
Although Mingze and Qingqing are twins, Mingze looks more like He Linyuan, while Qingqing combines the advantages of both parents, with a bit of Ye Rou's shadow in her eyes and eyebrows.
Thinking of his deceased lover, He Yanzhang's nose felt even more sore.
“…You must be Qingqing.”
He leaned down carefully, trying to make his voice as gentle as possible.
Qingqing nodded her head obediently, "Yes, my name is He Qingqing, and my brother's name is He Mingze."
"Okay, okay."
He Yanzhang said three good words in a row but was unable to reveal his identity.
He is not worthy of being a grandfather of two children.
The little girl put down her bowl, wiped her mouth with a tissue, then knelt on the stool and looked at He Yanzhang obediently.
"Are you Qingqing's grandfather?"
The little girl's eyes were so clear that He Yanzhang felt a little nervous, which was unusual for him.
"I...I am."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at He Linyuan out of the corner of his eye. His son was the same as always, with no emotion visible on his expressionless face. However, He Rui next to him was extremely angry.
Qingqing got a positive answer and tilted her head. "Then why don't you go find my brother and me? Everyone else has a grandfather, but my brother and I don't. Brother Zhuangzhuang even laughed at us."
Children speak without restraint, and sometimes what they say can be more hurtful than a knife. The little girl is smart, so it is inevitable that she will take it to heart.
He Yanzhang felt a pang of pain in his heart. "I'm sorry, it's Grandpa's fault. I'm sorry to you and your brother, and I'm sorry to your father and... aunt."
This was the first time He Yanzhang apologized. He Rui's anger choked in her throat and her eyes suddenly turned red.
He Linyuan was not as calm as he appeared, and his hands at his sides curled up quietly.
After all, we are a family, how can there be no feelings between us?
They just didn't find a way to reconcile. Now, the child's innocent words have helped to break the ice in the relationship between the He family's father and son and father and daughter.
Song Li chuckled and pushed He Linyuan and his sister to sit down.
"Eat quickly, the noodles are about to clump together."
He Linyuan naturally did whatever his wife said, and He Rui felt a little upset at the moment, so she stopped fighting with He Yanzhang.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was strangely harmonious. He Linyuan and his sister were busy eating noodles, while Qingqing chattered away saying good things about her mother to He Yanzhang.
Although He Mingze usually said that his sister was childish, he spoke up for her this time.
He Yanzhang already had a good impression of Song Li, and now he likes this daughter-in-law even more.
"Thank you for your hard work over the years."
He Linyuan spends most of his time in the army. Song Li must have put in a lot of effort to raise the two children so well.
And judging from the attitude of her son and daughter towards her, Song Li must be a very good person.
However, Song Li felt guilty about his praise.
It was good enough that the original owner did not abuse the two children. The reason they did not grow up astray was because of He Linyuan's good teaching.
"Of course, would you like another bowl?"
Song Li quickly changed the subject and, seeing that He Yanzhang's rice bowl was empty, wanted to refill it for him.
"good."
He Yanzhang did not refuse. Firstly, he has always had a big appetite, and secondly, the food cooked by his daughter-in-law was so delicious.
The little granddaughter did not lie to him.
After everyone finished their meal, He Linyuan washed the dishes and was about to leave. They would naturally settle the score with He Cheng when they returned to Beijing.
Now, the goal is to get evidence that He Cheng hired someone to commit the crime.
But before he could go out, He Yanzhang stopped him.
"No need to check, I have evidence."
"Do you know what He Cheng did?"
He Rui's anger, which had just subsided, flared up again, and she said the old man was biased.
The fact is that their family lives together, and He Cheng is right under his nose. No matter what he wants to do, he can't hide it from his eyes.
So he knew that the two children almost got into trouble.
He Rui had a big misunderstanding this time. He Yanzhang was not a god. He knew everything He Cheng did. Especially since he spent most of his time in the army, he didn't know much about family matters.
"I just found out about it too. I've already asked someone to investigate. Your Uncle Wang has connections, so he can investigate faster than you."
The uncle Wang Guohui mentioned by He Yanzhang is from the Intelligence Bureau. If He Cheng really committed a crime, he will not escape his investigation.
"Who knows if you will protect him."
He Rui knew that she had misunderstood him, but she still complained stubbornly.
He Yanzhang didn't bother with her and had fun playing with his granddaughter.
Perhaps because they are of different generations, He Yanzhang did not act seriously towards his children at all. He even lay on the ground and let Qingqing ride his horse, which made He Rui's eyes almost pop out.
"If you don't know, you'd think there's a different person in this body."
"Ahem."
He Rui's casual remark almost made Song Li spit out the water.
As someone who has truly changed her heart, she feels guilty.
He Linyuan also heard what his sister said. Looking at Song Li's flickering eyes, his eyes darkened.
Speaking of which, Song Li's change was very sudden and drastic, and he had doubts about it.
But the rumor of possessing another's body and exchanging souls was too absurd and he couldn't believe it.
However, seeing Song Li's panic, he lowered his eyes.
