Chapter 256 The younger one dismissed the older one
"Aunt Lin, Uncle Tao, you can't do this!"
"Aunt Lin, I am your family member with the same surname!"
He Zhou and Wang Li still wanted to stay, so the two bodyguards grabbed them by the mouths and dragged them out.
The little boy also cried and threw himself on Wang Li, trying to pry the bodyguard's hand away.
"Let go of my mother!"
He couldn't budge him, and it looked like he was about to bite the bodyguard's hand.
Shen Yao acted swiftly, grabbing the boy by the back of his collar and carrying him out the door like a wild duck.
After He Zhou and the other two were dragged out, the restaurant finally quieted down.
"Tuantuan, you must be hungry since you're pregnant. Eat quickly, don't go hungry."
Shen Wancheng was taken aback; it turned out that He Lin hadn't woken up today either.
That was the imposing aura of the eldest daughter of the He family just now.
Perhaps this is what happens when you're raised as a rich girl; your temperament and arrogance are ingrained in your bones.
As an outsider, Gu Jinxing couldn't interrupt the whole time, but now that things had calmed down, he quickly spoke up to Shen Wancheng.
"Grandma is right. You would have been eating by now. Hurry up and eat."
For the past two weeks, Shen Wancheng has been complaining of being hungry right on time for meals, and if it's a little late, she feels inexplicably aggrieved.
Even Shen Wancheng, who rarely sheds tears, cried once out of grievance.
She herself found it funny.
After taking the child out, Shen Yao immediately checked her mobile phone upon returning.
He even called Shen Wancheng, insisting that she answer the phone to make sure the call was working properly before he felt at ease. He really treasured her like that.
Everyone tacitly refrained from mentioning the three people from before. After all, every family has some difficult relatives, and it's not worth ruining your mood over such people.
But the matter isn't over until they bring it up.
Just as everyone finished their meal, the housekeeper He Chuan came to tell Xu Pingtao that an elderly person from the He family, the same age and generation as He Lin, had arrived.
He Nian is He Zhou's father.
It goes without saying that they came because of what just happened.
Xu Pingtao said to Shen Wancheng, "You guys go straight back after you finish eating. I'm going to see him."
Shen Wancheng thought for a moment and said, "Grandpa, let me go with you. We know why they came one after another today. If we don't make this clear at once, they'll keep thinking about it. It's better to let them give up now."
Xu Pingtao thought about it and agreed.
So Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing followed Xu Pingtao to meet He Nian, while Shen Yao accompanied He Lin back to her residence to rest.
He Lin had long since stopped dealing with these people.
Xu Pingtao, Shen Wancheng, and Gu Jinxing arrived in the living room.
He Nian, whose hair was also completely white, stood up, but his face showed no anger; instead, it was full of smiles.
She doesn't look like her son and daughter-in-law have just been kicked out.
Shen Wancheng found this person even more disgusting.
If he were a little tougher and came to demand an explanation, it would be much more agreeable than his hypocritical behavior.
He Nian was completely oblivious to Shen Wancheng's disgusted expression and greeted her with a smile, "Brother-in-law, Wancheng, Gu Sheng."
"He Nian, what are you doing here so late? Are you here to demand an explanation from your son and daughter-in-law?"
He Nian quickly denied it, "No, no, I just heard about them coming here, so I rushed over to apologize on their behalf. Those two have lived for decades and then died."
Xu Pingtao glanced at He Nian.
Who comes to apologize empty-handed?
Although Xu Pingtao didn't care about bringing gifts for the New Year, he was really disliked for not even bothering to put on a show.
Xu Pingtao said, "Well, now I know you've come to apologize, and I also think that your husband He Zhou and his wife are ill-mannered, stupid as pigs, and will only ruin your plans. So what? Is there anything else?"
This was the first time Shen Wancheng had heard Xu Pingtao curse like this, and she smiled with her lips pursed.
He Nian's face showed a moment of embarrassment, but he quickly recovered.
“I will definitely teach them a lesson when I get back. We are all family, and please don’t hold it against them anymore, brother-in-law.”
Xu Pingtao and Shen Wancheng exchanged a glance.
The fact that she's adopting such a humble attitude means she absolutely doesn't think her son is stupid as a pig.
They're about to make outrageous demands.
Xu Pingtao continued, "How you raise your son and grandson is none of my business. Just don't come to the He mansion and get in my way. So, is there anything else?"
He Nian found Xu Pingtao's stubbornness infuriating, and every sentence he uttered seemed to be aimed at getting rid of him.
It really doesn't give you any face.
He Nian's eyes darted around for a moment, then he asked, "Where's my cousin? She wouldn't be asleep so early, would she? I haven't seen her in a while."
"She needs to rest and won't see guests tonight. Just say what you need to say."
He Nian sighed, looking as if he found it very difficult to speak.
"Family scandals should not be aired in public. I know it's not good to talk about it, but you are an elder, brother-in-law, and you understand how we at this age worry about our children and grandchildren."
After saying this, He Nian looked up at Xu Pingtao.
Xu Pingtao drank the water in silence, without any reaction.
Even if you don't agree to my New Year's greetings, I will continue.
He Nian continued, “He Zhou has been working in a subsidiary of the He family, and his work performance is quite good, so I’m at ease. It’s He Min who’s giving me a headache. I’m so worried about her that my hair has turned white. I heard that Wan Cheng has started a new company, and I’m sure they’re short-staffed. So I thought I should ask Wan Cheng to give He Min a chance. This would not only alleviate Wan Cheng’s staff shortage, but also give He Min a job and put my mind at ease. It’s a great thing.”
Listen to how nicely you put it.
When did she say she was short-staffed?
This immediately led them to conclude that she was short-staffed.
Shen Wancheng didn't need Xu Pingtao to help her refuse; she directly interjected.
“My lord, I don’t need any people, and I won’t just hire any Tom, Dick, or Harry into the company. Since you think your idea is good, and sixty is the age when you can work hard, why don’t you start a company and give this Min a job?”
He Nian frowned. "Wan Cheng, although you are a junior and not a real member of the He family, I have always treated you with great respect. He Min is my son, so you should at least call him 'Uncle.' How can you compare him to a cat or dog? Where is your upbringing?"
Shen Wancheng smiled and said, "Education is for people. Why should I talk about education with things that aren't people?"
He Nian was filled with anger, but remembering what his son and daughter-in-law had experienced before, he managed to suppress it.
He looked at Xu Pingtao, thinking that as long as Xu Pingtao agreed, Shen Wancheng should not refuse Xu Pingtao's request, both morally and logically.
"Brother-in-law, I'm really innocent! I only came up with this idea out of good intentions. It would benefit both Wan Cheng and He Min, wouldn't it?"
"It's no use for you to say that to me. Wan Cheng's tech company was founded by her and Jin Xing. I only found out now that she started this company and developed such an amazing product as the mobile phone. I didn't contribute anything to it. How could I be qualified to put people into her company? I would be ashamed to even put myself in it."
