Chapter 369: The male protagonist of this soul-swap story is quite rebellious.
He Chengyi reassured her, "I still have you, I won't do anything reckless."
Yun Qing felt a little relieved, then called out to Lin Xu, "Assistant Lin, your CEO He has been bullied. Don't you know how to retaliate with your group of bodyguards?"
"If you let him vent his anger, he won't feel angry or wronged anymore, and he won't act recklessly, right?"
Lin Xu: ...That makes a lot of sense.
But Mr. He isn't as pitiful as you think.
Hearing the conversation between the two, the He family members became even angrier.
As expected, He Chengyi and Song Yunqing should never be together.
They originally wanted to form a marriage alliance with the Song family to use the Song family's influence to suppress He Chengyi, not to see him join forces with the Song family!
Who knew that He Chengyi would start dating Song Yunqing so quickly, and the second young lady of the Song family seemed to be completely smitten by He Chengyi.
Old Master He is a cunning, calculating, and ruthless man.
Judging others by his own standards, he couldn't help but wonder if He Chengyi had seen through his thoughts and that's why he had won over Song Yunqing first.
While he was still pondering how to make the Song family see He Chengyi's true colors and turn them into complete enemies, He Chengyi had already appeased Yun Qing.
After hanging up the phone, he became impatient with dealing with the He family and stood up, saying, "I came back this time just to warn you that my marriage is not your business and you shouldn't scheme against people you shouldn't scheme against."
"But you guys are pretty good at knowing how to provoke me."
"Now, I've changed my mind."
"Since you can't learn to behave yourselves, then I'll have to teach you to behave yourselves."
Old Master He, who had been ruthlessly stripped of his power, had long witnessed his ruthlessness and cold-bloodedness.
Upon hearing this, he couldn't help but rebuke him, his voice trembling with fear, "He Chengyi, what do you want to do!"
He Chengyi looked down at him, his words seemingly warm, but his eyes were cold. "Grandpa, don't worry, you are all my family, of course I will take good care of you in your old age."
"But as you know, I'm very busy with work and can't take care of you all regularly, so I'd feel more at ease if you moved to a nursing home."
Old Master He's expression changed drastically, and he angrily said, "He Chengyi, do you want to imprison us?"
He Chengyi straightened his cuffs and said slowly, "Don't put it so harshly. Imprisonment is illegal, but I don't do anything illegal. I'm just fulfilling my filial duty!"
“Grandpa, your health isn’t good, and you’re getting senile. Our He Group’s nursing home has such a nice environment; it’s perfect for recuperation. If you move in, you’ll live at least two more years.”
"My parents have nothing to do anyway, so they'll move in with you. It's a way of showing filial piety. How many people will envy you for this kind of family bliss!"
He glanced at the three of them, then suddenly sighed slowly, "A loving father and filial son, a loving couple, truly enviable. You may stay in one room!"
What about loving fathers and filial sons, and loving husbands and wives!
Although the three members of the He family were on the same side in arranging He Chengyi's marriage, their relationship was actually far from harmonious.
Old Master He was furious at He Xuan's lack of ambition and was utterly disappointed in him, treating him as if he had no son at all. He also looked down on his daughter-in-law, Madam He, to the point that he was disgusted by even the slightest glance from her.
He Xuan hated Old Master He for forcing him to marry Madam He, and he hated Madam He even more for using any means to get into his bed and for making a scene with the child in her belly, making it impossible for him to be with his beloved.
Madam He finally married into a wealthy family, but was retaliated against and mistreated by He Xuan. Not only did Old Master He not help her seek justice, but he also looked down on her. Over the years, she has had a miserable life in the He family and harbors hatred towards the entire family.
They are only coexisting peacefully for the time being because of their own interests.
Now that their joint attempt to suppress He Chengyi has failed and they've lost everything they wanted, it's no surprise they'll blame each other. Add to that their past grudges and animosity, and being arranged to live together, it's no wonder they're bound to fight.
After He Cheng finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the door.
Old Master He was trembling with anger, roaring behind him, "Aren't you afraid of being gossiped about behind your back?"
He Chengyi said without turning his head, "It's okay, I have a strong backbone, I'm not afraid of being poked."
He Xuan asked urgently, "What about Song Yunqing? Isn't she afraid?"
He Chengyi then turned around, looked at him with a cold gaze for a while, and sneered, "What does this have to do with Qingqing? I'm not married to her yet."
“If the dirty things are dealt with before the marriage, she won’t be tainted by filth.”
Madam He shrieked angrily, "Do you think that by locking us up, you can be with Song Yunqing?"
"The marriage between the He and Su families is already arranged, and the invitations have been sent out. If you dare to break off the engagement and cause the Su family to lose face, the Su family will not let you off the hook!"
He Chengyi ignored her and walked straight out of the He family's gate.
Madam He wanted to chase after He Chengyi and yell, "You little beast! You..."
Lin Xu kept the proprietress's teachings in mind and instructed the bodyguard, "While you're at it, help President He vent his anger."
The bodyguards immediately stepped forward to grab the people, and while they were grabbing them, they deliberately targeted places that would hurt without leaving any marks, making the three of them scream and howl in pain.
At first, Madam He scolded He Chengyi for being an unfilial son and made a scene, refusing to go to the nursing home. In the end, however, she was in tears and had no strength left to struggle.
Grandpa He and He Xuan weren't much better off.
When they were put into the car, the three of them were very well-behaved and didn't make a fuss at all. However, they looked like they were seriously ill and had no strength at all, so they had to be helped into the car.
He Chengyi sat in the car, watching coldly, and then said, "Go to the Song family."
Now that his relationship with Yun Qing is common knowledge, he has also made headlines with his engagement to the Su family's daughter, which is a complete slap in the face to the Song family.
Old Master He's act of making such a decision without prior consultation was clearly intended to cause a rift between him and the Song family, using the Song family to suppress him.
He didn't handle this matter well and should apologize.
I also showed the draft prenuptial agreement to my parents-in-law and older sister.
Although the He family members have now been sent to a nursing home, he does not intend to change the prenuptial agreement he made with his eldest sister.
That was to provide Yun Qing with protection, and also to put the Song family at ease.
As for the Su family, they are easy to deal with.
The Su family are all pure businessmen, driven solely by profit.
They would naturally be happy to form a marriage alliance with the He family, but if not, they wouldn't go against He Chengyi for the sake of saving face, as that would not benefit the Su family.
At worst, we can easily resolve this by giving the Su family a little something in return.
Yun Qing finally made it off work and prepared to go home to comfort He Chengyi, who had been wronged.
But the director called him over instead.
The director rubbed his hands together, smiling warmly, and tentatively asked:
"Teacher Song, do you think it's possible that President He will participate in our program?"
Although they're not on a dating reality show, their marriage as a couple is very popular!
When making a TV show, you have to learn to be flexible.
Yun Qing: ...You really have a wild imagination!
Asking He Chengyi to put aside his company affairs to participate in a variety show? Do you know how much he earns in a day?
The director continued, "Here's the thing, our production team has made a slight change to the later parts of the program."
"Isn't it because the guests' jobs are quite difficult? So, the production team decided to have each guest invite a friend to work with them."
"The audience really wants to see President He, do you think we could..."
Yun Qing resolutely refused, "No!"
The director didn't expect her to refuse so decisively, and shamelessly said, "Ms. Song, please think about it again."
"No need to consider it anymore. Can you afford his appearance fee?"
"You don't pay him enough, yet you expect him to work hard, sweat and bleed. Doesn't he care if he's not your boyfriend?"
Director: ...Sweating is one thing, but our show doesn't need to involve bleeding, does it?
"I'll ask other friends who want to come on the show for help."
Director: ...Your boyfriend is here to bleed and sweat, while everyone else is just playing around?
"Don't worry, director, I can find the person."
Director: ...Not only was I not relieved, I felt like my heart was about to die.
