Chapter 698 Divorce?
"Brother, brother—"
Xiaoyu rushed to her brother.
He Yuxiang ruffled her hair. "Is exercising hard?"
Xiaoyu shook her head: "It's not hard work, it's super fun!"
She couldn't even hit the target when throwing the beanbag. That moment was the first time she experienced the joy of throwing the beanbag!
He Yuxiang: "Then let's go home."
Xiao Yu held her uncle's hand in one hand and her brother's hand in the other, shaking their hands as they happily went home.
After arriving home, He Yuan began unpacking, while He Yuxiang felt heavy-hearted.
He Yuxiang was indifferent to his aunt and uncle's public displays of affection, but he couldn't accept any problems in their relationship.
His uncle should love his aunt very, very much!
If his uncle chose the mine over his aunt, He Yuxiang felt he would never want to acknowledge him as his uncle again.
But the reality is that my uncle might very well abandon my grandparents for the sake of the mine.
If you can abandon your own parents, what about your wife?
He Yuxiang was in pain inside, but his face remained expressionless. When his aunt came home and saw her hugging her uncle, he still had a furrowed brow.
Chen Qing came up to him and patted his head: "Why are you looking like that? Third place is already great. Leave yourself some room to improve. Try harder next time."
"oh."
He Yuxiang gave a perfunctory reply.
Under his uncle's guidance, he no longer cared about being third.
Chen Qing wanted to punch someone; this kid was always acting like a brat, and he was incredibly annoying!
He Yuxiang remained listless during mealtime.
Chen Qing asked He Yuan, "What's wrong with him?"
He Yuan: "I'm not quite sure."
Chen Qing simply grabbed He Yuxiang and asked, "What's wrong with you? Did you see someone you can't forget while you were out?"
"No!"
He Yuxiang stared at his toes in frustration.
Chen Qing: "Then why are you looking like that?"
He Yuxiang glanced at his uncle.
He Yuan raised an eyebrow: "What's wrong with me?"
Chen Qing asked, "Did he cheat on me?"
He Yuxiang looked at his aunt in shock.
When Chen Qing saw He Yuxiang's expression, it was as if he had guessed correctly. His heart sank, and he could barely maintain his smile.
He Yuan was shocked: "He Yuxiang, why do you have that expression?!"
It was as if she was telling Chen Qing bluntly, "Auntie, how did you guess that Uncle cheated on you?"
"I... my uncle didn't cheat on me," He Yuxiang quickly defended himself.
The more he tried to defend himself, the more it seemed that He Yuan was cheating.
It was as if they were afraid of their separation and were trying to cover it up.
He Yuan didn't dare look at Chen Qing's face; he was really going to be killed by He Yuxiang: "You better explain to your aunt properly!"
He Yuxiang continued to explain, "My uncle did not cheat on me."
These rigid words made He Yuan want to explode. He stared at He Yuxiang with an unprecedented sternness, "Speak properly."
Chen Qing coldly retorted, "Why were you yelling at him? Are you trying to cover it up?"
"I didn't!!!" He Yuan felt like a huge accusation had been dumped on him, and the person who harmed him was his nephew, whom he trusted very much.
"Is Factory Director Chen home?" a young male voice asked.
He Yuan looked outside warily and saw an ordinary-looking man with a particularly silly smile standing at his door.
Xiaoyu was playing in the alley when she saw someone come to her house. Holding her ball, she stared at the man in front of her and asked, "Uncle, who are you looking for?"
Mu Xinrong smiled and said, "Find your aunt Chen Qing, I want to give her a gift."
Chen Qing opened the door and went out.
He Yuan's narrow eyes narrowed slightly.
He Yuxiang also cautiously looked outside, feeling as if he had made a huge mistake.
Chen Qing was in a very bad mood at the moment, and could only try to be polite to Mu Xinrong: "Comrade Mu, I'm sorry, I've already finished get off work and can no longer properly entertain you."
Mu Xinrong smiled and said, "It's alright. This is fabric I bought from Shanghai. It's denim. I heard you're interested in fabric, so I thought I'd give it to you."
Chen Qing stared at the denim fabric, unable to utter a single word of refusal. He could only accept it and express his sincere gratitude: "If you ever need my help in the future, just let me know."
"I don't need any help from you, Director Chen. I've learned a lot since I came to your garment factory, and I really admire you. It's truly amazing that you've achieved this much. The reason I gave you the fabric is simply because I admire and respect you. I hope you don't mind."
Mu Xinrong finished speaking with a blush and left.
Chen Qing carried the fabric inside.
Xiao Yu was sulking.
Bad guy!
I should have known better than to talk to him!
He Yuan was furious. He turned to glare at He Yuxiang and gritted his teeth, saying, "He Yuxiang! You'd better go and explain things to your aunt!"
He Yuxiang didn't know where to begin explaining.
Chen Qing carefully put away the denim fabric and stayed in the room for a long time.
He Yuan, in a panic, grabbed He Yuxiang and dragged him to explain to Chen Qing: "Chen Qing, believe me, I didn't cheat on you! I don't know why he reacted that way, I really didn't! If I did, may I become an idiot! May I die a horrible death! I..."
Chen Qing opened the door, carrying a box of mooncakes filled with money. Her eyes were a little red, and her voice was slightly hoarse: "Let's calculate the money and the issue of the child's future."
He Yuxiang: "No! My uncle didn't cheat on me!"
For the first time, He Yuan felt an urge to hit the child. "Stop calling me 'uncle'! Talk to your aunt properly!!!"
What do you mean he didn't cheat?!
He did not cheat.
But we can't just say he didn't cheat!
Xiaoyu was so frightened that the little ball in her arms fell to the ground, and tears streamed down her face. "No... Aunt and Uncle, please don't get a divorce..."
He Yuan stared at He Yuxiang: "If you don't tell me why you reacted that way back then, this family will fall apart!!"
He Yuxiang was quite frightened when he saw his aunt's expressionless face. He quickly went to close the door, stood in front of his aunt, closed his eyes, and blurted out:
"My uncle took me to see a mine, but before that, we went to see my grandparents' graves. My uncle said that if we had money, my grandparents wouldn't have died, but even though we had a mine, they still died."
I was afraid that my uncle would choose the mine over me, my aunt... that's why I reacted that way.
He Yuan rubbed his forehead.
A feeling of exhaustion washed over me.
He recalled a saying from some elder, he couldn't remember which one: "No matter how well-behaved and sensible a child is, they will always get into some trouble you can't predict."
He Yuxiang grew increasingly terrified when he saw that his uncle remained silent.
He Yuan said helplessly, "If we give the mine to a very powerful person, will your grandparents really survive?"
We have so much money, did we really give it all to just one person?
Mineral veins need to be mined to have value, so wouldn't a powerful person want to take over the mineral vein for themselves?
If he wants to take it for himself, our family will have no chance of survival.
Even if you think you can mine and refine it yourself, it's still money.
But how do you know if someone is watching us? Some people just want to see if a large family like ours is hiding anything!
If it were a small amount of money, the other party might not care much, but it's a mine—who wouldn't want it?
Chen Qing pressed further, "Then now..."
He Yuan: "He's dead."
