Chapter 912 Family Meeting
“Third brother…” He Jing said, feeling wronged, “When I’m arguing with someone, I can’t exactly tell them that my brother is a chef and likes to chop people with a cleaver.”
While wielding a kitchen knife to chop someone isn't without its intimidating power, something just feels off.
He Zhou originally wanted to ask her if she didn't have any businesses under her control, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that he only owned one restaurant, which made him so angry that his stomach started to hurt.
If I had known he was going to be a chef, I would have become a CEO too. Tomorrow I would have used the money I had to invest in the catering industry. I don't believe he's not as rich as He Yuan.
Seeing He Zhou remain silent, He Jing cautiously said, "Third Brother, I need to go back to City A to clean up this mess."
He Zhou raised his eyelids and retorted coldly, "Are all your brothers dead? You have to run back for such a small matter?"
After saying that, he picked up his phone and made a call to the family group chat, ignoring his parents.
He Jing's heart skipped a beat, and she said nervously, "Third Brother!"
He Zhou glanced at her sideways, annoyed by her chatter.
How could he not know what she was thinking?
But this time, she wasn't allowed to make the decision.
Soon, members of the family group joined the video call one by one, and the handsome faces of He Yuan, He Ning, and others appeared on the screen.
They all seemed to be free, and the surroundings were so quiet that not a single sound could be heard.
"He Jing!" He Suihuan quickly squeezed into the video frame, paused for a moment, and then strongly accused, "Wow, you really did secretly run off to be with Third Brother."
Normally, others would definitely respond to him, but this time everyone was very silent.
He Sui sensed the unusual atmosphere and immediately fell silent, only to hear He Xiaoguo happily call out, "Sister."
He Zhou's gaze then shifted, and he frowned: "Xiao Guo, go out and practice your piano properly."
He Xiaoguo said firmly, "No, I want to protect my sister too!"
After some time apart, He Xiaoguo has grown up a bit. His youthful and cute face has completely shed its childishness and revealed a handsome appearance, both cute and charming.
He smiled, his eyes narrowed, and he was extremely cheerful and lively, like a little sun shining brightly.
He Jing's heart softened, and she called out, "Xiao Guo."
He Yuan calmly interrupted, "Third brother, let's get down to business."
He Zhou then recounted the whole story.
He certainly didn't know what He Jing's situation was back then, but that didn't stop him from showing extreme favoritism in his words.
He Yuan rubbed his temples and waved for his assistant to bring a tablet. The employees who were waiting for the meeting to start lowered their heads and secretly began searching for He Jing under the table.
After He Zhou finished speaking, He Yuan also hurriedly finished browsing Yu Jiaojiao's article. He turned to his assistant and instructed, "Go and investigate. Jingjing couldn't have done such a thing for no reason. Hand over the evidence."
His tone left no room for doubt, completely favoring He Jing. The assistant understood and quickly left the meeting room.
He Yuan looked at the video screen again and asked He Zhou, "What's Jingjing's opinion?"
He Zhou said with a sneer, "She said she'd go back and handle it herself."
Almost as soon as He Zhou finished speaking, He Yuan retorted, "Jingjing, do you know how long we've been waiting for this day? You've always been so independent, so independent that you can handle everything on your own. But we're your brothers. Why don't you try to rely on us? We can handle things very well for you."
He Jing was speechless, unable to describe her feelings at that moment: "Big brother..."
It wasn't that she didn't want to, it was just that she wasn't used to it; she was always alone before she transmigrated.
She never imagined that one day someone would want to take her under their wing and protect her from the wind and rain, so no matter what happened, she instinctively faced the challenge head-on and didn't rely on anyone.
“Jingjing, this time, let’s leave this matter to your elder brother, okay?” He Yuan’s voice was clear and firm.
