Hundred Ways To Save Cannon Fodder Mom [Quick Transmigration Arc 4] Chapter 59: The Mother of a Son-Favoring Family (3)
The continuous spring rain nourishes the green buds.
Zizi was woken up by the cleaning lady in the hospital. She closed her eyes and felt around her. Her mother was gone. She rubbed her eyes in frustration. She was not alert enough and didn’t even realize her mother was gone.
When the nurse saw that Zizi had woken up, she picked up the thermometer and tucked it under the Zizi’s armpit, then took out the small dining table and placed it in front of Zizi, and skillfully placed the prepared breakfast on it.
“Miss He had a very important meeting today, so she left early without calling Tiantian. This is the breakfast she had someone send over.
Tiantian, please eat it obediently, okay?” The nurse spoke in a gentle tone, feeling sorry for Zizi who had such a rough life at such a young age. Being adopted by Miss He was the best outcome.
Zizi smiled at the other party and nodded to indicate that she understood.
Seeing that the other party didn’t like to talk, the nurse didn’t disturb her. After checking the thermometer and finding it was normal, she felt relieved and walked to the reception area to sit on the sofa.
After Zizi finished breakfast, she got out of bed and walked around. Then the doctor asked about the arrangements for the infusion and the nurse arranged for her.
It was not until four o’clock in the afternoon that Zizi saw her mother again.
This time, He Shenglan did not come empty-handed, but brought a set of exquisite and beautiful paintbrushes and easel. Apart from work, He Shenglan was thinking about what gift to give to her child today.
She had no hobbies or demands. She finally had a daughter, so she had to give her the best. The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. At three o’clock in the afternoon, the diligent He Shenglan skipped work for the first time to buy a gift for the four-year-old child.
When Zizi saw her mother, she rushed up to her happily, hugged her thighs and started to act coquettishly, completely unaware of her mother’s gift.
He Shenglan picked up Zizi unskillfully and found a place to sit down: “Mom bought you a gift, are you happy?”
Zizi then turned around and saw the assistant holding an exquisitely wrapped pink gift box. Her eyes lit up: “Happy!”
“Can we open the presents together?” He Shenglan said with a smile.
Zizi nodded quickly, jumped out of her mother’s arms excitedly, grabbed her mother’s hand and said, “Okay! Let’s open the presents together. I like everything Mom gives me!”
Seeing that she couldn’t wait to show her loyalty, He Shenglan tapped her cheek in a funny way: “Little clever…”
…
He Haojing didn’t wait for He Shenglan last night, and all his hard work in the performance was in vain. When he woke up in the morning, his face was gloomy and he was in a low mood.
I wonder if that woman He Shenglan got any news! He Haojing ate breakfast while scanning the people in the house. Looking at everyone’s expressions and movements… he felt that he was overthinking it. They all knew his position in the family and wouldn’t do anything to betray him.
This era is really troublesome. If it were his era, there wouldn’t be so many twists and turns. Women could just not show their faces outside and seize power. He Haojing curled his lips. In this damn era, there is still some talk of gender equality. Why should he, a grown man, be on an equal footing with women?
He Haojing had a lot of complaints in his mind, but he didn’t show it on his face. It was okay to have such thoughts, but he couldn’t say them out loud in this era.
Father and Mother He were relieved to see that their son did not make a fuss. He Shenglan did not come back yesterday, and they thought they would be quarreled with by He Haojing this morning.
“Dad…Mom…” He Haojing put down his bowl and chopsticks and called softly.
Father and Mother He both looked up at He Haojing. Seeing that her husband didn’t say anything, Mother He quickly said, “What’s wrong, my dear son? Are you feeling uncomfortable?”
He Haojing’s eyes flashed with disdain, but his face was stern: “After one night, I figured it out! Dad! Mom! I want to start a business!”
“Didn’t you say yesterday that you were going to the family company?” Father He frowned, his expression full of disapproval. “Starting a business outside isn’t that easy. Starting a business is a job that involves encountering obstacles everywhere. Don’t give up on a ready-made job and start your own…”
Mother He nodded quickly. Starting a business outside would require a lot of hardship. What would she do if her beloved son became thin or felt wronged?
“But…but, I want to start my own business. Now that men and women are equal, I should leave the company to my sister! It’s okay for me to work hard on my own.” He Haojing lowered his head. This tactic of retreating to advance would definitely encourage the doting He family couple to fight for management rights for him. He had never considered giving up his ready-made cake to others. Starting a business? The He family’s jewelry company was his starting point!
“No! The company owned by He Shenglan belongs to the He family! How can we force you to go out and start a business? Wait a minute, we will go find He Shenglan and ask her to arrange for you to join the design department. Starting a business? Don’t even think about it!” Father He was furious. His son had never suffered any grievances since he was a child. That girl He Shenglan has grown up and dared not come back, forcing Hao Jing to force himself to start a business. How could this be justified in the world?
“Then…thank you, Dad…” He Haojing whispered.
He Haojing’s plan succeeded, and he picked up his bowl and chopsticks to eat breakfast again.
What He Haojing never expected was that when he went to the company to find He Shenglan with two strong assists, he came up empty-handed.
There was no other way, so He Haojing had to take Father and Mother He to the hospital the assistant mentioned.
He Haojing felt aggrieved and couldn’t understand why his father couldn’t just let him join the company. Wasn’t the company named He? Why did both he and his wife look so guilty?
Before they reached the ward door, He Haojing and the other two heard the sound of happy playing inside.
“This color is used to paint flowers!” He Shenglan said confidently.
“Mom…purple doesn’t look good!”
“It looks good!”
“Okay!” Zizi’s tone was helpless and doting.
He Haojing listened to the conversation inside. Was He Shenglan really going to adopt the little girl inside? Was this a good thing or a bad thing?
The He family couple didn’t have the same oversight as He Haojing. They heard the child calling for her mother! How could this be possible? They immediately pushed the door open and rushed in.
The sound of the door being pushed open made everyone in the room stunned, and they all looked up at the uninvited guest outside the door.
“Shenglan! Didn’t we tell you not to adopt this orphan? Why don’t you listen?” Mother He’ was the most furious. She stepped forward and spoke directly.
He Shenglan’s eyes turned a little cold because of Mother He’s words, but years of experience told her that it was useless to refute now. She just needed to let her talk and stick to her own ideas.
“You unfilial daughter, how can you look at your parents like that? You ungrateful bastard! Who do you think raised you?” Father He was furious, pointing his finger at He Shenglan and cursing, “We worked so hard to raise you, and this is how you treat us? Today I order you to resign as general manager of the company and get out of the He family!”
“Get out of the company? Dad, ask yourself, who is in charge of the company! Who founded and developed the company into what it is today?” He Shenglan raised her head and looked at her father sharply. The reason why they did not let him call the police was simple, they were afraid that she would be biased and would not leave anything for He Haojing and themselves.
“You! At least I paid for it!” He’s father raised his chest slightly and said angrily.
He Shenglan heard this and was determined to force her to resign. Seeing Father He’s righteous attitude, He Shenglan said indifferently: “I have returned all the money I borrowed from you. Where in the company is yours, Dad… tell me?”
He Haojing hadn’t expected there to be such a hidden story. Seeing that the situation was not good, he stepped forward and earnestly supported Father He, looking at He Shenglan helplessly: “Second sister, don’t be stubborn. Look how angry Mom and Dad are. We’ll find a good family to adopt this little girl. You’re not married yet, so don’t get involved in this. Come and apologize to Mom and Dad and leave. This matter will be over. Don’t talk about the company’s affairs in front of outsiders.”
“No!” He Shenglan said, looking coldly at He Haojing who was trying hard to perform in front of her. She felt that such a brother was really unfamiliar. If it were the things in the past, she would apologize and it wouldn’t hurt her. But He Tian was different. She would never send her away and let others support her!
She built the company with her own efforts, how could she possibly give it up?
“You, you, you…you are going to piss me off to death!” Father He covered his chest and mouth, his body looking like he was about to faint.
Mother He didn’t hesitate and walked up to teach He Shenglan a lesson.
Zizi had been watching and listening to their aggressive behavior. When she saw Mother He was about to take action, she picked up the paint tray and threw it at Mother He’s face: “Don’t touch my mother!”
He Shenglan originally wanted to resist, but after she heard what the child said, she put her hands back to their original position and was quiet as if nothing had happened.
Mother He failed to hit the woman and had colorful paint thrown all over her face. She was so angry that she lay on the ground wailing and throwing a tantrum.
For a moment, there was no other sound in the room except for the wailing of Mother He. Both the father and son of the He family were people who cared about their reputation, and they turned their eyes away and ignored the funny scene in front of them.
After a while, seeing that no one was talking anymore, He Shenglan said to her assistant, “You and the nurse, close the door and go out. We have something to discuss.”
When Zizi saw the nurse coming to pick her up, she took small steps, walked towards her mother and hugged her thighs.
If she left, her mother couldn’t beat three people alone.
He Shenglan looked at the small pendant on her leg with helplessness and shook her head at her assistant.
Zizi successfully stayed.
There was a “click” sound of the door closing.
“You don’t need to talk about adopting He Tian anymore,” He Shenglan was the first to speak out.
Father He was disobeyed by his daughter. He turned around and said angrily, “Absolutely not!”
“Your thoughts are not important,” He Shenglan said coldly.
“You!” Father He was furious, but he had no way to deal with He Shenglan.
He Haojing didn’t care. Whether to adopt a girl or not was not a threat to him. The most important thing at the moment was to get into the company.
Mother He went into the toilet in the ward, cursing her daughter in a low voice.
The situation was deadlocked, and He Haojing smiled and said, “Second sister, no one really forbids you from adopting her. It’s just that you are not married yet, so it’s not appropriate… The law doesn’t allow it, right?”
This really touched He Shenglan’s soft spot. She was not married and not yet 30 years old. There were still three months between her and 30, and there were too many variables. She asked someone to use their connections, but she couldn’t let her parents report this to He Haojing. If she did, she would not be able to adopt He Tian.
“It’s not that we can’t make an exception. If you agree to let Hao Jing join the design department as the director, I won’t react to this matter. Otherwise, forget it!” Father He took advantage of the opportunity and directly put forward his conditions.
“Okay!” He Shenglan agreed immediately. It’s only three months and it will be over soon.
“No!” Zizi shouted.
