When He Shaoqin came back, the atmosphere in the living room was very depressing.
"Shaoqin is back!" Mrs. He quickly stood up and went to greet him.
He Shaoqin strode in, his beautiful peach blossom eyes slightly raised, looking at He Dasao's flattery as if it were free, and said with a smile, "My beautiful lady, how do you manage to stay younger as you grow older!"
He Dasao glared at him and said, "You are so sweet-talking."
He Shaoqin handed over the gift bag in his hand and asked, "Take a look. Do you like it?"
Mrs. He happily took it and said, "Oh! Thank you, Shaoqin. Let me see what good stuff you have."
It is said that the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. This sister-in-law takes care of He Shaoqin as if he were her own child.
He Shaoqin naturally respected her as his sister-in-law and often brought her gifts.
Mrs. He has become accustomed to it, and the gifts bought for her by the third brother have never disappointed her.
She waved the gift in front of Brother He and said, "I have another gift!"
After showing off, he couldn't wait to open the brocade box.
He took out the object wrapped in soft brocade, and after peeling off layer by layer, a crystal clear jade bracelet appeared before his eyes.
Mrs. He's eyes widened. "Wow! It's the floating flower jade bracelet I've been looking for."
She looked at He Shaoqin with emotion and said, "Shaoqin is the best to me in this family. Your love for you is not in vain."
Brother He also raised the corners of his mouth and took the jade bracelet to put it on Sister He.
"Shaoqin, you are really amazing. This bracelet touched her heart."
He turned around and looked at his disappointing son, "Humph, unlike that brat, he only knows how to irritate people."
Got it!
This sentence made the atmosphere depressing again.
He Beiyi stood beside the sofa with his head lowered.
He Shaoqin leaned back on the single sofa with his long legs crossed. He was ready to start criticizing.
After a few words, he came out to act as a peacemaker and the matter was over.
He Shaozong already understood everything clearly.
He really couldn't believe that his son, who had been better than his peers since childhood, had a smooth academic career and achieved remarkable results, could be deceived in such an outrageous way.
He Shaozong looked at He Beiyi steadily, his voice cold, "I think you have guessed why we are so anxious to return home."
He Beiyi has been suffering for several days, and what is coming will eventually come.
He lowered his head and was silent for a long time before speaking: "Dad, I'm sorry. Because of my absurd behavior, the deep friendship between our two families for so many years has fallen into an awkward situation. I have brought shame to you."
After saying this, he bowed deeply.
He Shaozong's brows twisted into the shape of a "chuan" character. "Zhizhi has suffered so much hurt and injustice because of you. The Lu family wants to cancel the engagement now. What do you think?"
He Beiyi's expression was gloomy, and he smiled helplessly, "I know I am sorry for Zhizhi. I hurt her like this, and I feel bad too.
To be honest, I am really confused now. I...I don’t know what to do.”
These complicated and frustrating things really made him exhausted. "Dad, I need time. I need to calm down."
Even though He Shaozong was angry, he couldn't force Xiaoyi to do things according to his wishes.
If a son is not well educated, it is the father's fault. It is the father who has failed to fulfill his responsibilities.
"You deserve to bear the bitter fruits you are facing now. No one's life is smooth sailing. Don't back down when you encounter problems.
You have to look forward. You can't keep dwelling on the past and get caught up in self-consumption. This won't solve any problems.
You are not a child anymore, you have to think clearly about what you want."
It's indeed a bit too hasty to cancel the engagement.
However, he could also understand Lao Lu. He only had one daughter, so naturally he protected her like the apple of his eye.
Mrs. He looked at He Beiyi, a trace of heartache flashed in her eyes, and she said earnestly: "Son, love is a matter of two people. If one person is always passionate and the other is cold and perfunctory, even the most passionate feelings will be worn away."
He Beiyi frowned and clenched his fists again and again.
He Shaoqin picked up a cup of tea and took a sip slowly. Xiaoyi was upset now and naturally didn't care about his feelings towards Lu Zhihuan.
Haven't realized what Lu Zhihuan's sudden departure means?
Just like when people eat, they are used to using chopsticks, and they don’t feel anything strange if they use a spoon once or twice.
But after a long time, he still thinks of chopsticks.
He raised his head and glanced at He Beiyi, then put down the cup and said to his elder brother and sister-in-law: "Don't force him, he is such a grown-up, doesn't he know what he wants in his heart?
You can't ask Xiaoyi to live according to your wishes and follow the routine."
He Shaoqin nodded his chin at He Beiyi and said, "Go back to your room first. I'll talk to your parents."
He Beiyi looked at his uncle with gratitude. It was his uncle who understood him: "Thank you, uncle."
Watching his figure disappear at the stairs.
He Shaoqin leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees, tilted his head and looked at the two people sitting on the sofa before saying:
"For Xiaoyi, the marriage between the two families is like knowing the outcome of a matter, so he doesn't bother to care about the process.
All of this is taken for granted, so in his subconscious, there is no need to waste time on emotions."
He spread his hands and said, "To put it bluntly, this relationship is just going too smoothly.
But that Lin Qingtang was different. How did they say...
Oh! Childhood sweethearts are no match for the one who dropped from the sky.
The reason why Xiaoyi cares so much is because he has truly given his all to Lin Qingtang, so he is so resentful.
He can't make any choice now, so he feels angry and upset about her deception. He...can't get over it for a while."
Mrs. He was worried. "Xiao Yi can't be so stubborn, right? She's like this, and he still misses her."
She has read some novels, and many men have white moonlight and cinnabar mole in their hearts.
They are like people with reduced intelligence. They will be carried away and do things they shouldn’t do. Wouldn’t that ruin their lives?
Brother He understood what he meant, "Xiao Yi may have unknowingly developed feelings for this girl, so he was so angry and upset after finding out that she had deceived him.
Fortunately, he hasn't done anything out of the ordinary.
Let's go see Zhizhi tomorrow. If Lao Lu insists on breaking off the engagement, we can't force him to do anything."
The two children have been together for so many years, so there is at least an emotional foundation between them.
After going through all these hardships, maybe one day in the future the two of them will be able to achieve a happy ending.
He sighed heavily, "Shaoqin! Xiaoyi told me everything on the way back. If you hadn't found out all this, he would still be kept in the dark. You've been worried about this for a while."
He Shaoqin leaned back on the sofa, a playful smile on his face. "We're all family, isn't it being too formal to say that? Oh! If only I could take a break."
Brother He shook his head helplessly, "You! You want to give up every day."
