Zhu Qiang and Qian Lizhen bowed their heads and said repeatedly, "Yes, yes, Jingjing is still more thoughtful and enlightened than most people."
He Sui rolled his eyes again, recalling the stark contrast between their arrogance in the past and their current obsequiousness. Indeed, only when people become strong can they avoid being bullied. The He family used to be so good, but that only made them more and more ruthless.
He Jing had already planned that she could put people into Yuanjing Technology, but it was impossible for them to hold important positions. Even if they didn't sweep the floor, they could only look after the warehouse and supervise the production line.
She wouldn't cause He Yuan a headache just because she was embarrassed in front of her relatives.
Seeing how happy Zhu Qiang and Qian Lizhen were, she didn't feel comfortable directly explaining that this was actually a huge trap.
After seeing off the Zhu family, the He family welcomed several more relatives, including uncles, paternal uncles, godfathers, and great-grandmothers... Not only He Jing, but even the He brothers had never heard of them before.
Mr. and Mrs. He looked at each other in disbelief. In previous years, these relatives would travel as far as possible to visit, but this year they actually came to our door with gifts. It was strange, really strange.
And these relatives, when they come to visit, always say the same things—
"Oh my, Xiao Yuan has started his own company now. We're like brothers, blood is thicker than water. Let's keep in touch and help each other out."
"I heard that Lao Liu has become a great writer. My daughter also wants to write. Are there any tutorials?"
"Where's the third brother? He went to learn to be a chef. Being a chef is good. You can make a lot of money as a chef. But Xiao Yuan is more promising. He'll be a boss. He'll have both money and prestige."
"Fourth brother, your uncle used to hold you when you were little."
...
He Sui chuckled coldly twice: "I don't believe you."
Since he was born and could remember things, no relatives from the He family have ever come to visit. Now they're telling him they've held him?
He glanced at He's mother questioningly. He's mother looked somewhat embarrassed, clearly indicating that there was no such thing at all.
They just wanted to curry favor and seek personal gain for their own families, nothing more.
He Sui was always irritable and didn't bother to deal with it. The "uncle" who had been rebuffed was a bit embarrassed and turned his attention to others, as if looking for someone to take action against.
Soon, he saw He Jing.
He Jing was only wearing a fluffy loungewear set and a pair of cotton slippers. Her long hair, which had been straightened and dyed back to its original color, cascaded down straight. Her jet-black hair was like a waterfall or silk, extremely shiny. Without any makeup, she looked even more beautiful and gentle than usual.
She served fruit to these so-called relatives, her eyes crinkling as she called out to them, "Uncles and aunties, have some fruit."
The uncle's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly spoke as if he had seized a chance to turn the tables: "This must be Xiaoyi. I've heard that you go to Fugui High School. I didn't expect you to become so beautiful. I heard that your grades are not good, but your cousin's grades are good. Let him tutor you."
He Jing smiled sweetly at him: "Uncle, my name is He Jing, not Xiao Yi. Thank you for your kindness, Uncle. If possible, please let my cousin come."
Upon hearing this, the "uncle" realized that he had indeed made the right choice in finding the right person. Although he had mistaken the person, He Jing's temper was really good, unlike the other children in the He family, who had no manners at all.
Upon hearing He Jing's invitation, he couldn't wait to call his son over.
In fact, he did just that. Despite his mother's repeated "no need," he insisted on dialing his son's number and said with a smile, "My son is doing well in school and is very competitive. Jingjing is at a crucial stage in high school. If my Jiajia could tutor her, her grades would definitely improve dramatically, and she could finish her winter break homework ahead of time."
