Hundred Ways To Save Cannon Fodder Mom [Quick Transmigration Arc 4] Chapter 62: The Mother of a Son-Favoring Family (6)
“They look different!”
The little one looked at her mother with a serious expression, pointed to her eyes, and said very earnestly.
He Haojing, who comes from the feudal era, looks different from the modern He Haojing who has intellectual disabilities. In the eyes of the child who has received the magical golden finger, He
Haojing looks very different from her uncle.
The He family couple were of above-average appearance, and the He sisters resembled them, with regular and delicate features. Anyone who saw the He sisters would marvel at their bright eyes, white teeth, red lips, and fair skin. He Haojing, who had taken over his uncle’s body, had narrow eyes, a face full of pockmarks, and a round face; only his build was somewhat similar to his uncle’s.
It suits his vicious nature perfectly.
He Shenglan took two steps back, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and squatted down, placing her palm on Zizi’s head, carefully and repeatedly checking the temperature of her forehead.
“Is there anything else that’s bothering you? I’m sorry, Mom forgot to make an appointment for Tiantian to see a psychiatrist.”
He Shenglan was serious when she said this. Some children are born with mental illnesses. She had a full-body check-up at the hospital yesterday and didn’t expect to have this done. Now it seems that He Tian has a mental illness related to hallucinations and delusions.
Thinking of this, He Shenglan carefully took the baby into her arms and gently stroked her back from top to bottom to comfort her.
“It’s okay. No matter what kind of strange illness it is, we will cure it in the future. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere in the future, be sure to tell Mommy immediately.”
The little girl initially thought her mother was touching her forehead because she was worried that her illness hadn’t gotten better. She opened her mouth to say that she was fine and there was nothing to worry about, but then she heard her mother say that she suspected her mother was mentally ill.
She pouted slightly, deciding to demonstrate her skills to her mother.
The little one’s eyes darted around, and she stepped out of his mother’s arms, took her mother’s hand, and carefully examined her palm.
“Let me take a look at my mother’s career line! My mother’s career was hindered when she was 24 years old. A benefactor from the north helped her, and since then she has soared to great heights. Her career has been smooth sailing all the way. Am I right?”
He Shenglan couldn’t bring herself to dislike Zizi. When she solemnly opened her palm to show the lines, she indulged her and let her do as she pleased. However, when Zizi said that she received help from a benefactor from the north when she was twenty-four, her expression suddenly became much more serious.
At the age of twenty-four, she had just borrowed money from her parents to open a jewelry studio. Back then, she was young and impetuous and was goaded into buying a flawed piece of jade. She cleverly avoided and utilized the flaw, but the design deviated from the fashion trends of the year, and customers simply did not buy it. She almost went bankrupt and was burdened with debt.
If it weren’t for a stroke of luck when she met a businesswoman from the north who happened to like and even commissioned five or six pieces of jewelry, she wouldn’t have survived.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that she was her benefactor.
“Tell mother how you knew?”
He Shenglan subconsciously thought that someone else had told her daughter this, because it would be too incredible if it could be determined by looking at the palm of the hand.
If she were in front of a Taoist priest, she might think he had some skills in that area, but a four-year-old child?
The little girl sighed like a little adult: “It’s all because of the information in Mommy’s palm. I was born with the ability to see things that other children can’t. I’ve only been with Mommy for a few days, who would tell me all this!”
He Shenglan fell into a silent crisis of life. What secrets did her daughter still hold that she didn’t know?
“Tiantian, are you scared? Will they hurt you?”
He Kelan’s focus strangely veered off to other things.
Zizi shook her head. After the cheat device was installed, she did see some creepy things, but she wasn’t scared at all. It was as if she had experienced all those frights before, and she was completely calm.
“Phew!” Her tense back relaxed. It was good that she was alright. Now, back to He Haojing, He Shenglan asked with a puzzled look, “Tian Tian said they look different. Could it be that some kind of ghost is living inside Uncle? Is it a vengeful ghost? Did he see you?”
“My uncle is very handsome, but he’s really ugly. Although he lives in my uncle’s body, his soul wanders around. In a little while, I’ll see his ugly face break out of my uncle’s body. It’s such a mismatch! He’s really ugly!”
Seeing that her mother finally believed her, the little girl said in a serious tone.
For some reason, He Shenglan felt like laughing. It seemed that he really was ugly, otherwise the child wouldn’t have emphasized it so many times.
“What about your uncle? Have you seen him?” He Kelan asked.
Her younger brother has intellectual disabilities, but that doesn’t give anyone the right to take over his body. They’ve been together for over twenty years, and although things have been very unpleasant, they are related by blood, and she has an obligation to care about his whereabouts.
The little one stopped talking and started playing with her fingers with her head down.
“What’s wrong? It’s okay if Tiantian doesn’t know, I’ll pay for a master to find him.”
The little girl looked up and quickly glanced at her mother’s expression. Seeing that she was calm, she whispered, “Uncle’s lifespan is over. Perhaps she has already been reincarnated.”
He Shenglan’s red lips twitched slightly, her eyelashes lowered to conceal the complexity in her eyes. From a young age, her parents had always taught the three sisters to give in to their younger brother, to give him whatever he wanted unconditionally, and to support him financially when they grew up. They deeply resented having such parents and a brother, but the sudden news of his quiet disappearance from this world still saddened her.
“Mother……”
“It’s okay, I’ll be fine in a bit,”
He Shenglan was just sad for him. When this younger brother bullied them, or even beat them at the drop of a hat, he showed no remorse whatsoever. Even if he were alive, the situation would not be any better than it is now.
He just has intellectual problems, not real intellectual disability. If they make a scene, they might even be criticized by outsiders for not being tolerant of their younger brother.
“Mom, take me to the birthday party! I can handle that person, I won’t come out worse off! I also want to celebrate my birthday.”
She wanted He Haojing to know that karma comes full circle.
“Okay…” He Shenglan hesitated before agreeing.
In front of the Cloud Sky Club, He Shenglan, wearing a dark blue silk deep V-neck dress, a sapphire necklace from her collection, and high heels, walked gracefully into the club, leading her child in a white princess dress.
After handing over the invitation, she was led into the clubhouse.
The banquet hall was brightly lit, and all sorts of people walked around, including some older people. He Shenglan guessed that these were antique collectors whom He Haojing had met some time ago.
After taking a few steps, He Shenglan saw He Haojing, who was surrounded by several people and spoke politely. Watching him politely take a step back, nod to the other party to apologize for leaving, He Shenglan found it somewhat amusing.
In fact, she laughed out loud because she remembered what her daughter had said: that beneath the other person’s clean-cut and handsome appearance lay a soul with narrow eyes, a face full of pockmarks, and a large, round face, which gave off a… comical feeling.
“Second sister is very happy! It seems you won’t disagree with what I’m about to say, right?”
He Haojing looked arrogant and smug.
He Shenglan pursed his lips and gave a cold smile: “I didn’t promise you anything. Threatening me? He Haojing, you think too highly of yourself.”
Although the place where the two were talking was very close to the entrance, there was no one around. Everyone had already entered the banquet hall, leaving the area empty.
“What? You don’t care about those photos anymore?” He Haojing raised an eyebrow and sneered.
He Shenglan released her daughter’s hand, lifted the somewhat cumbersome long skirt, and walked aggressively to a spot three feet away from He Haojing, reaching out her hand.
A crisp, loud slap rang out.
“This slap is a lesson I gave you as your second sister. Don’t try anything funny, you piece of trash!”
He Shenglan shook her numb hands, then took off her shoes. Looking at He Haojing’s face covered with five finger marks, she wasn’t afraid of He Haojing resisting, because after being hit by He Haojing the first time, the first thing she did after earning money was to enroll in a martial arts class.
He Haojing was stunned for a few seconds before he realized that he had been hit. He Haojing had never been hit by a woman in his life or the previous one. He Haojing was so angry that he trembled all over and raised his fist to teach He Shenglan a lesson.
The little girl took two steps back and quietly made a hand seal. This hand seal would cause a person to temporarily lose their soul. In case her mother couldn’t beat him or was at a disadvantage, she could help her mother delay He Haojing’s movements.
He Shenglan was waiting for him. She kicked He Haojing in the softest part of his waist and abdomen, dodging his fist, and then grabbed He Haojing’s hair and pulled it down hard.
“Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!” He Haojing screamed in pain, waving his hands wildly and scratching.
He Shenglan reached out and pinched He Haojing’s middle finger, trying to pry it back with force, when another loud shout came.
The people attending the banquet were stunned, standing there dumbfounded.
It all happened so fast that no one could react in time. Such a high-class club, and they started fighting over a single disagreement. And these were siblings who hosted the banquet. They had never seen anything like it in their lives.
He Shenglan’s attack was swift, accurate, and ruthless. He Haojing’s two middle fingers were broken, and he was kicked several times in the waist and abdomen, falling to the ground. He Haojing howled in pain, but he didn’t dare to roll around to distract himself. Both of his hands were injured, and rolling around would put more force on him, causing him unbearable pain with every movement.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her and that security guards were surrounding her, fearing that she might cause a death, He Shenglan reached into her hair and tidied her messy hair.
“Bring me a basin of water,”
After putting on her shoes, He Shenglan walked to He Haojing’s side in her high heels, bent down and took the phone out of He Haojing’s pocket.
Perhaps because she still carried some of the aura from the fight, He Shenglan didn’t have to wait long before a waiter in a blue uniform quickly turned around and brought over a basin of water.
The sound of the phone hitting the water with a “plop” was so loud in the quiet hall.
“This scumbag tried to ruin my sister’s reputation with photoshopped pictures. I’m really sorry that I had to handle family matters in front of everyone today. I’ll have my assistant bring you all some of Fu Yun Jewelry’s new spring collection later. I hope you won’t spread this story, and please delete any videos you have. Thank you all.”
He Shenglan walked up to the guests, her face full of helplessness as she explained.
He Haojing didn’t invite anyone from the jewelry industry. Apart from a few people who collect antiques and have some influence, the rest were just people from well-off families. He Shenglan apologized and gave them heavy gifts, and everyone said it was fine.
He Haojing endured the pain and listened to He Shenglan speak. Seeing her dismiss his invited guests with just a few words, he was so angry he felt like he was going to vomit blood, but he dared not refute her, for fear that if he spoke, He Shenglan would beat him mercilessly again.
“Heh, did I give you permission to leave?”
As most of the guests had left, He Shenglan pulled her daughter aside to prepare to leave, when they heard a voice coming from a corner booth in the banquet hall.
