Chapter 282: Yan Ye is very useful
"This room has been empty since your mother passed away."
As Mr. He spoke, he opened the door of the last room in the corridor.
It can be seen that no one has been in there for a long time, and the ground is covered with a thick layer of dust.
There are textbooks on the bedside table.
Xu Xiaoyue glanced at him curiously, and Mr. He immediately noticed her gaze and explained.
"Your mother is an intellectual and has studied abroad."
"If it weren't for this accident, she would still be teaching in school."
The value of intellectuals in this era cannot be compared with that in later generations.
The more Xu Xiaoyue realized her excellence, the more she couldn't bear it.
Mr. He sighed and opened the closet next to him.
The closet was filled with children's clothes and toys.
From palm-sized clothes to children's clothes, there is a full wardrobe for spring, summer, autumn and winter.
Next to the clothes are toys for little girls, including various exquisite figures. You can tell at a glance that they were made with great care.
"When she was alive, she would buy clothes for the children every season, just in case she found you one day and was unprepared."
It can be seen that the clothes in this big wardrobe are all those that little girls would like.
Xu Xiaoyue's mood was very complicated for a moment. She didn't know how to express it. She could only look forward to her child's return day after day. She never waited for her child until her death. Even a stranger would have been moved.
Yan Ye stepped forward and held her shoulders. Seeing Xu Xiaoyue's red eyes, he couldn't help but glance at Mr. He next to him.
He was quite calculating, knowing that his limited abilities alone would not be enough to impress Xu Xiaoyue, so he resorted to this trick.
I have to say, this trick is really effective.
Especially when dealing with someone like Xu Xiaoyue who is pregnant and about to become a mother, he is the most soft-hearted.
Old Master He tilted his body, deliberately avoiding the gaze from Yan Ye.
He admitted that his methods were a bit despicable, but that was also for the future of the He family.
Seeing that Xu Xiaoyue had almost finished reminiscing, Mr. He pretended to be indifferent and continued, "At the beginning, what your mother wanted to see most was the scene of you returning to the He family."
Before Mr. He finished speaking, Xu Xiaoyue sniffed and interrupted him, "So Aunt He really deserves to die."
"If she hadn't bribed the human traffickers to kidnap me, my mother wouldn't have suffered this kind of pain."
"I didn't expect that after so many years, seeing that I didn't die, they would actually want to repeat their old tricks and perform them again, even wanting to kill me with one body and two lives."
"If I were like her, how could I still have the dignity to live in this world? I would have found a rope and hanged myself long ago."
She said this with indignation, and Mr. He's expression became even stiffer.
Isn't this a roundabout way of saying that he hasn't let anyone commit suicide, and is actually shielding someone from the crime? Are they a den of shrewd people?
After Xu Xiaoyue finished her complaints, she turned to look at Mr. He. She ignored his sullen expression and said, "Okay, I've checked the clothes, and it's getting late."
"Let's go back first."
After she finished speaking, she didn't give Mr. He a chance to persuade her to stay, and she pulled Yan Ye out of the He family in one breath.
Only when she reached the door did the girl curl her almond eyes and look up at the man beside her.
"Well, did what I just said make the old man feel ashamed?"
The sadness was real, the contempt was also real, but she would never really be fooled by Mr. He.
If he really felt so guilty towards his youngest daughter, why didn't he recognize her when he knew her identity? Why didn't he choose to expose her directly when he knew that Aunt He was the real culprit who caused He Zhizhu to go missing?
If she didn't rely on Yan Ye and hadn't had some background, she might never have waited for the moment when Mr. He would speak to her so nicely in her entire life.
She is just narrow-minded and vindictive. What kind of family are they? Why should she feel at ease and ask her to act as if nothing had happened?
Yan Ye lowered his head and pinched the girl's chin. "I can't tell. I haven't seen you for a few months. You've become smarter."
He almost thought that Xu Xiaoyue would be persuaded by those words and was going to follow Mr. He's words and take a step back.
"What do you mean by becoming smarter? Is it possible that I was always smart?"
Xu Xiaoyue was not convinced. She took a step back and stopped Yan Ye from pinching her chin.
The girl's almond eyes sparkled, and she poked Yan Ye's chest with her soft fingertips.
"Why do you throw the problem back to me? You know very well that I don't want to enter the He family again."
If Xu Xiaoyue didn't want to take advantage of the situation and watch the show, she would not come again.
Yan Ye smiled, wrapped his big hand around the girl's little finger and rubbed it, "I did have the idea of asking the He family to take you back."
"Why?"
Xu Xiaoyue was really confused now. The He family was in a mess now. She wouldn't gain any benefits if she went back at this point. She would also have to live under the same roof with He Zhiyu's annoying face every day.
Yan Ye glanced at the person and immediately understood Xu Xiaoyue's inner thoughts.
"It's true that the He family is in a mess right now, but it's not the end of its rope. A lean camel is bigger than a horse, and its reputation still has a certain influence."
"If you can really become Mr. He's granddaughter, everyone will look up to you even in the capital."
The main reason he had this idea was to help Xu Xiaoyue improve her status.
He borrowed the reputation of the He family. After all, the mess in the He family was caused by Aunt He alone. When the time comes, she will pay back the embezzled money. As long as no one brings it up again, it won't cause any trouble.
"However, the conditions Mr. He said are too simple after all."
"It is far from enough to simply allow you to enter the He family's genealogy."
Yan Ye's dark eyes darkened. He came out so happily this time just to shatter the old man's confidence.
His appetite cannot be satisfied simply by entering the family tree; it’s a competition of who can endure longer.
"It's not enough to have agreed to join the family tree? What else can be done to be enough?"
Xu Xiaoyue looked up at Yan Ye, not understanding what he meant.
Yan Ye lowered his head, met his own frankly confused gaze, sighed, and his eyes couldn't help but show a bit of pity.
"Being included in the family tree only recognizes that you are a member of the He family in name, but the assets you can get from the He family are still too vague. What if old man He made a will in advance and left all the things of the He family to other people, what would you do?"
Xu Xiaoyue's eyes widened when she heard this, "Doesn't that mean that I just have the title of the He family, but in the end I have nothing."
"I'll sue him. He's such a bully."
Xu Xiaoyue didn't expect that the laws here were sometimes loose and sometimes strict. In their era, even illegitimate children in marriage could enjoy inheritance rights.
Xu Xiaoyue did not brag about being an illegitimate child, but as a nominal member of the He family, she only had the title, which was an empty reputation. It was really pitiful to think about it.
"In Hong Kong City, it might be difficult to win a lawsuit against the He family."
"So what do you think we should do?"
She unconsciously grabbed the sleeve of the man's clothes, looking straight at him with a pitiful look.
Yan Ye was very pleased with her small dependence on him, and said in a light tone: "Let Mr. He make a will in advance, and then call two lawyers to witness it."
