190 Mother and Daughter Turn Against Each Other
He Xun clenched his fists. For so many years, the three brothers had not lived in the He family residence, and he had been raised by his eldest brother.
What kind of parent was his father?
“Wifey, everyone only has interests in their eyes when growing up in an environment like ours.
“My eldest brother has never gotten married because he was scarred by our mother’s death. Our father’s heartlessness has made him lose all hope in this world.
“If my second brother finished school and could take care of himself after leaving the He family and if I was older, my eldest brother wouldn’t have been reluctant to leave us to my father.
“Without us to hold my eldest brother back, he might not have been able to live on.”
He Xun’s voice started to tremble as he spoke.
Chen Wei’er hugged him with heartache and repeated in a low voice, “Husband, I love you. I love you…” She didn’t know what else to say to comfort her husband.
She could only keep telling him that there were many people who loved him in this world.
This was also the first time Chen Wei’er knew about her husband’s troubles.
He Xun stood at a height that everyone looked up to, but only he knew how difficult each step he took was.
He Xun had never felt more exhausted than he was now.
His feelings towards He Qiu Shan were extremely complicated. He hated He Qiu Shan’s heartlessness, but because he had lacked maternal love since he was young, he yearned for fatherly love even more.
Even if He Xun had never obtained it from He Qiu Shan, his father was still alive at least. That meant that his father’s position was still in the hands of someone else.
If He Qiu Shan was also dead, then he would really have lost both his parents.
In the past, no matter how much He Qiu Shan had done, he could tolerate it. But this time, he couldn’t.
Once everything was over, he would make everyone who had hurt Chen Wei’er pay the price.

“Mom, this manicure is too unsightly. It’s not pretty at all, and you won’t let me destroy the shop. Are you even my mom?” He Yeli complained in a spoiled manner. She was in a bad mood, and all she wanted to do now was go home and sleep.
“Don’t say that. There’s going to be a social gathering soon, and it’ll be full of high-quality single young men. If you make a scene now, it’ll ruin your reputation.
“If you really can’t get over it, you can just secretly find someone to teach that staff a lesson. Why do you need to dirty your hands?
“Your main goal now is to find a rich man to marry while you’re still young. You won’t be young anymore in a few years.”
Even though she had lived with the He family for more than 20 years, Luo Qionglan’s behavior was still the same as that of the Luo family.
“I’m not getting married.” He Yeli didn’t care about this.
Luo Qionglan felt that her daughter had become even stupider. She poked her on the forehead and said, “As a girl, no matter what you do, it’s better to marry! Look at me, I can go anywhere I want to. When your uncles see me, which one of them doesn’t lower their voice?” Luo Qionglan was even more pleased with herself when she mentioned this.
She had not wasted her efforts to climb into He Qiu Shan’s bed. If not, she would not have been able to enjoy such a glorious life today.
“Anyway, my father said that he will take care of me for the rest of my life. Besides, who is richer than the He family? I’m not going to marry someone who doesn’t belong to the He family.” He Yeli was annoyed when she heard her mother.
How could marriage be more interesting than being a tyrant in the He family?
Luo Qionglan snorted, “You don’t believe me when I say you’re stupid. How old is your father this year? He is approaching 70. How many years could he remain in this world with his body? When your father is dead, will his sons let us have a good life?”
She continued, “Don’t forget that you have been kicked out of the He group by He Xun.” Luo Qionglan could see clearly that she would have to find a good son-in-law to lead a good life in the future.
“Don’t try to fool me. You just want me to find a rich man to support my uncle! It’s fine that you used my father’s money to sponsor my uncle, but now you’re even thinking of using me. Are you still human? Haven’t you always disdained me for being a girl?” He Yeli was already annoyed.
Now that she was being urged to get married, it made her even more annoyed. Moreover, she had been keeping these words in her heart for a long time, and this time, she finally had the chance to say them.
She had accidentally heard her mother quarreling with her father in the past, and also knew that her mother had always despised having a daughter, and even called her a money-losing good.
At that time, He Yeli was trembling with anger. She was the He family’s little princess.
Who didn’t flatter her?
In the end, she was just a money-losing good in her mother’s eyes.
How could she accept this?!
On the surface, her mother treated her very well, but this time, she really couldn’t stand it anymore!
“What did you just say?” Luo Qionglan was so angry that her fingers were shaking. “That’s your uncle’s house. We’re a family. It’s only right for me to give them money. How dare you say that your mother is inhumane?”
