Hundred Ways To Save Cannon Fodder Mom [Quick Transmigration Arc 4] Chapter 60: The Mother of a Son-Favoring Family (4)

“Who the hell do you think you are!” Father He was furious, pointing at his daughter and cursing, “How dare you speak on the He family’s affairs!”

He Shenglan could tolerate anything except her father’s words. She stood up and hid her daughter behind her. “If you keep making trouble, I’ll have no choice but to break up with you and leave you with nothing! Think carefully!”

“Pa!” At this moment, Mother He, who had just finished washing the paint off her body, suddenly stepped forward, stretched out her hand and slapped He Shenglan in the face, saying confidently, “He Shenglan, how can you talk to your father like that! If your father didn’t exist! You wouldn’t even know where you are right now!”

He Shenglan felt her cheeks burning and lowered her head. “What do you want? Divide up Fuyun Jewelry, or take it all for yourself? Ask yourselves, is this company really related to you?”

Zizi grabbed his mother’s hand hanging by her side, giving her the strength to resist.

“He Shenglan, without my 800,000 yuan, how could you have the confidence to establish such a cutting-edge studio and then grow it into the jewelry company it is today? You can’t just pay me back just like that! There’s no such thing as a good deal!” Father He pointed at He Shenglan fiercely and said, “Today, either agree to leave the company to Hao Jing, or give me 80% of the company. It’s up to you!”

After hearing her husband finish speaking, Mother He reached out to grab He Shenglan’s arm, but He Shenglan dodged. She could only sigh and offer earnest advice, “I know you’re feeling unbalanced, but there’s nothing we can do. Your brother is 22 years old and still hasn’t had a career. It’s not that we’re partial, but you’ll both get married in the future. Your father and I will depend on your brother for our livelihood. Don’t be so willful.”

He Shenglan looked up at her mother. They were always like this, never hiding their favoritism. In their mouths, the company she founded on her own became everyone’s.

Willful, unfilial, disobedient, these words were used to describe her anytime and anywhere as long as they wanted to. She really wanted to ask them who had said that if she didn’t return the 800,000 yuan within six months, she would be sued, and who had moved her household registration out immediately when her career hit a low point, so that she would not go home again.

She always knew in her heart that her parents were naturally good parents when she had money, but if she was not careful and failed in her career, they would immediately cut off all ties with her.

But their education since childhood was very successful, and she was heartbroken. She could only stay by their side numbly and let them greedily suck her blood.

But now she has someone to care about, someone to protect, and she can’t do that anymore. How could the soft, little girl beside her, so weak and with such a difficult life, be raised to be like her? She should be the opposite, a brave, kind, independent, and proud girl, not like her, who could have left such a family but was still trapped by invisible constraints.

Facing He Shenglan’s indifferent gaze, Father He said confidently, “What are you looking at? We’re just asking you to give up the company. Wouldn’t it be better if you could start your own business? Besides, you wouldn’t think it’s bad luck to adopt an orphan girl.”

He Haojing also stood beside Mother He, looked at He Shenglan pitifully and said, “Second sister, let’s go back first. Think about it carefully before talking about this topic.”

The words of her parents, who looked kind and gentle and dressed elegantly, made He Shenglan’s blue eyes turn red. She roared in a rare hysterical outburst, “Get out! All of you get out!”

Zizi held her mother’s hand tightly and comforted her in a low voice.

She stopped He Haojing from entering the company, which led to an argument between her mother and them. Although she felt a little sorry, she did not regret it.

When Mom lets He Haojing join the company, He Haojing will be like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to bite Mom tightly, until he takes away everything in her hands, uses up all the surplus value in her, and throws her into the abyss, and then he will give up.

The company is owned by the mother herself. This fact did not appear in the original book. Zizi guessed that the plot summary might be deliberately misleading her. If she thought about it carefully, the He couple had never participated in the management of the company in the original book. Father He was in his prime, and he did not manage the company and directly handed it over to He Haojing. Instead, the mother, whom she looked down upon, managed the company. This in itself was unacceptable.

Unless the company was not originally owned by the He couple, it is possible that the mother is managing it. It seems that those so-called ambitious people who colluded with outsiders to hollow out the company are simply trying to whitewash the lies told by He Haojing.

Then, based on the He couple’s unreasonable favoritism and He Haojing’s cruelty and shamelessness, everything that happened later was a natural consequence.

Father and Mother He said a few words to correct He Shenglan’s thoughts. The nurse knocked on the door and came in. Father He, who was very concerned about his reputation, threw the cup and left. The other two knew that He Shenglan was furious now and they couldn’t say anything more. Talking further would only lead to a further division between the two sides, so they left together.

The nurse stood in the doorway, a tray in her hands.

“An injection is needed in the afternoon. Family members, please expose the child’s arm,” the nurse placed the tray on the bedside cabinet and prepared the injection without any gossip or other nonsense.

Zizi tugged at her mother’s clothes. He Shenglan felt the worry in the child’s heart, squatted down and gave Zizi a forced smile.

“It doesn’t look good,” Zizi commented, touching her mother’s head.

“Really? Didn’t you say that mom is the prettiest and most beautiful?” He Shenglan teased the serious-looking Zizi.

Zizi lifted her sleeves and said seriously, “This kind of smile is not pretty! I like the kind with curved eyes.”

He Shenglan reached out to help Zizi lift her sleeve. She watched as the cold, sharp needle in the nurse’s hand pierced into the delicate skin, the medicine disappearing into her arm bit by bit. She asked distressedly, “Does it hurt?”

Zizi looked straight at her mother and answered solemnly, “It doesn’t hurt! It only hurts a little bit. It hurts because I was told that the injection would hurt a lot. This idea is deeply ingrained in my mind and is hard to get rid of. But the injection actually doesn’t hurt at all.”

“Really?” He Shenglan thought thoughtfully.

The nurse smiled and stroked Zizi’s soft, slightly curly hair. “What you said makes sense, little one. You’re so good! Injections don’t hurt at all. It’s just that people keep suggesting that they’re going to hurt, and that’s why you develop a fear of them.”

He Shenglan reached out and rubbed Zizi’s head. She was right. It was just that the implication of leaving and breaking up would be painful, that losing her parents would break her wings, that they would be her closest blood relatives. But what was the reality? Even if they left, even if they severed all ties and never spoke to each other again, it would only be a little uncomfortable. How much pain could it possibly have?

Her parents have been constantly trying to belittle her while urging her to consider her family, never hiding their bias. It’s ridiculous that even though she saw the truth, she didn’t think of changing the status quo. Now that she has concerns, she must make changes.

Zizi snuggled into her mother’s arms and rested her head on her arms that were wrapped around her. As long as her mother broke through the shackles in her heart, everything would be fine.

At seven o’clock in the evening, a person came to Zizi’s ward.

The person who came had big red curly hair, skin as white as jade, bright red lips, and a curvy figure. She looked 80% similar to her mother He Shenglan, but with the opposite personality and a hot temper. As soon as she entered the door, she looked Zizi up and down without any hesitation, as if she wanted to tear her open to see what she was like.

“Are you the child my sister wants to adopt?” He Youlan, the eldest sister of the He family, said bluntly, “Aside from being a little pretty, you don’t look like anything else.”

“Puchi” Zizi was originally nervous, but when she heard her say that, she laughed out loud.

He Shenglan stood up and blocked her elder sister’s view of the child: “Sister, don’t look at He Tian like that, she’s shy.”

“Huh?” He Youlan looked at the person who was lying with open eyes in disbelief.

“Ahem.” He Shenglan stood up and pulled her elder sister to sit down, changing the subject: “What are you here for? Or do you also want to persuade me to hand over the company to He Haojing?”

He Youlan had just sat down when he heard He Shenglan’s words. He stood up and shouted, “What? Did He Haojing really do that? It seems I was right. After his brain recovered, he was full of evil thoughts. Now he is actually instigating our parents to do such a thing. I think he might as well just stay stupid like before.”

He Shenglan: …

My eldest sister is as irritable and impatient as ever.

Zizi’s eyes lit up, because she still hadn’t bought the golden finger.

“Be a human being!” Zizi called out in her mind.

[Golden Finger: Infinite Strength, Metaphysics, Strong Lip Talker, Mind Reader, Charmer, please choose.]

Zizi thought for a while and firmly chose: “Metaphysics! I want the metaphysics cheat!” She wanted He Haojing to pay the price! You oppress and harm others and pay the price, and I will make you suffer the consequences!

[Okay! Metaphysics cheat codes are being distributed…]

After choosing the golden finger, Zizi regained consciousness and heard her mother’s sister calling her.

“Is this child still sick? Why doesn’t she respond when I call her?” As she said this, the eldest sister of the He family put her hand on Zizi’s head to test the temperature.

When He Shenglan heard what her elder sister said, she was shocked and put her hand on Zizi’s forehead to test the temperature.

Fortunately, the temperature was normal and He Shenglan’s heart calmed down instantly.

“What’s wrong with you?” Zizi asked with a confused look on her face.

“Nothing,” He Shenglan said gently.

“He Tian, from now on you have to call me auntie! Just call me auntie and listen to it,” He Youlan said with a smile. She originally disagreed with her sister adopting, but she insisted on it. Besides, Zizi was so well-behaved and cute in appearance, and had a pitiful life experience, so

He Youlan had no choice but to compromise.

“Auntie!” Zizi readily called out.

“Hey! Good girl!” When He Youlan heard the sweet cry, all her dissatisfaction disappeared instantly, and her hand unconsciously poked Zizi’s pink and tender face.

“The adoption process you used your connections to process has been halted, so I’ll handle it here. I meet the most requirements. As long as we can get through these three months, everything else will be easy.” He Youlan knew He Haojing very well now. She would definitely not give up and would definitely make a fuss about it. She was married but had no children, so she met the requirements for adopting. As long as she couldn’t do anything, and as long as they could get through these three months, everything would be easy in the future.

“Thank you, sister!” He Shenglan stood up and hugged He Youlan, looking moved.

He Youlan pushed her sister away, tapped her forehead and said, “You have such a big career, but you don’t care about family matters at all. Your parents are old and can’t move much anymore. It’s your responsibility to support them, but He Haojing is already an adult, and it’s time for him to suffer the beatings of society! I’ve taken care of everything. I’ve raised you so well, how could I bear to let you suffer any injustice?”
