After He Chen finished reading the interrogation record, his hands trembled uncontrollably.

Jing Yan also stood at the side with a solemn expression. Only He Miao was still confused.

She carefully looked at her father’s expression and asked hesitantly, “Daddy, who is He Ting?”

He Chen raised his head abruptly, the corners of his eyes red and bloodshot. “That’s your grandmother…”

He Miao’s eyes widened in shock, and her fists subconsciously clenched by her sides. “How could this be… It was Grandma and He Feng who caused my mother’s car accident together, but why? Why did Grandma help He Feng?”

He Chen’s pained gaze gradually became long, as if he was recalling something extremely painful. He was so sad that even the calm he had always maintained was completely broken. Tears kept dripping on his forever crippled legs like a broken thread.

“This matter… Maybe it’s my fault.”

After He Chen said this, he could no longer hold back his emotions. He covered his face with his hands and wailed.

Back then, He Feng deliberately said in front of Ye Ning that He Chen’s father wanted him to see girls of the right age from other families. In fact, it was not groundless.

The He family cared a lot about their family status. At that time, the He family was already standing in a position like the sun at noon, but they were still greedy for fame and fortune.

If He Chen wanted to inherit the He family fortune, he had to marry a woman of equal social status to help him stand at the peak of the He family forever.

So when He Ting and He Chen’s father, He Wei, heard that his son had a girlfriend in school, he sent someone to inquire about Ye Ning’s family situation.

He Ting was particularly dissatisfied. She was born in a branch family that had no blood relationship with He Wei. Although her status was not as good as the He family, she was able to lead the family to stand on He Wei’s side without hesitation when the families wanted to divide power.

It was also because of the alliance between the two families that He Wei was able to sit firmly in the position of the family head and also protect her mother’s family from becoming a thorn in He Wei’s side.

Now, his son’s girlfriend, although she was also from a merchant family, was on the verge of decline. In He Ting’s opinion, other than being exceptionally beautiful, Ye Ning had nothing to offer.

Marrying such a woman would not be of any help to He Chen. Instead, it would be a waste of a good opportunity to get a great helper.

That day, she and He Wei sat on the sofa in the living room with serious expressions, waiting for He Chen to come home. It was not until late at night that they saw He Chen, who reeked of alcohol.

He Wei’s expression was extremely bad. He looked up coldly at his swaying son and asked sternly, “Where did he go? Why did he drink so much? Where did you throw away the dignity that I taught you as the head of the family?”

He Chen smiled foolishly. His eyes searched every corner of the living room. Suddenly, he asked in surprise, “Didn’t you say that there’s a lady waiting to meet me? Why is he gone?”

“Why don’t you look at the time now? Why should she wait for you until now? How rude!” He Wei pointed at He Chen’s nose and scolded him for his mistake. He Ting watched coldly from the side. In the end, she still felt a little sorry for her son. She softened her voice and coaxed, “Chenchen, I know you actually wanted to see that lady. You didn’t come back late on purpose, right?”

“Hmm?” He Chen was so drunk that he did not seem to hear what she said clearly. He sat down on the sofa and took the hangover cure soup from the butler. After drinking it in one gulp, he waved his hand and said with a look of resistance, “No, I don’t want to see her. I already have someone I like. I won’t marry her.”

“You don’t know what you’re talking about!” He Wei stood up angrily and picked up his teacup, wishing he could smash this unfilial son to death.

“Didn’t we just discuss that we should talk to Chenchen properly?” He Ting quickly stopped him.

Only then did He Wei angrily sit back down on the sofa. He glared at He Chen and turned his head away awkwardly, not wanting to look at him.

He Ting persuaded her husband with an understanding smile on her face. She comforted her son while saying, “Your father is doing this for your own good. This girl is very pretty. She’s your type and has a good family background. She likes you very much. If you meet her, you definitely won’t refuse.”

She comforted her son, who was about to pass out, and then reached out to call the butler. She said, “Invite her over for lunch tomorrow afternoon. Let Chenchen take a good look.”

“Yes.” The butler looked at He Chen uncertainly, but he did not say anything. He bowed and left to make arrangements for tomorrow’s invitation.

He Chen heard this sentence in a daze, but his brain became a little slow because of the effects of alcohol. By the time he reacted, the butler had already left.

He could only hold He Ting’s hand and not let go. His Adam’s apple bobbed up and down as he slowly said, “I… I don’t want to see her. Ningning will be angry. Mom, I just want to marry Ningning. I’m capable. I don’t need a woman to bring the family to greater heights. Can you trust me?”

“Why should we believe you!” He Wei angrily pointed at his nose and scolded, “Tomorrow, you better obediently come back for dinner.. Otherwise, pretend that you don’t have a father like me in the future!”
