Stealing Your Heart Chapter 118

The door of the study was opened, and Mr. Feng stood at the door. “I have made them wait in the living room.”

Zong Qifeng nodded his head.

“Don’t worry, the matter has been resolved. He can’t say anything,” Zong Qifeng comforted after noticing Yuxiu’s worried look.

Yuxiu looked down. “I’m not worried.”

“So stubborn.” Zong Qifeng held her hand. “Let’s go.”

In the living room, He Wenhuai was sitting on the mahogany sofa with the served tea placing in front of him, whereas He Ruixing was standing behind him.

Seeing Zong Qifeng coming over, He Wenhuai stood up. “Zong, I have to beg you this time.”

“Beg me?” Zong Qifeng laughed loudly. “Don’t joke with me. Why would you beg me?”

He Wenhuai heaved a sigh. “It’s the trouble caused my two useless kids.”

“What is it?” Together with Yuxiu, Zong Qifeng sat on the sofa across from him.

The servant served two more glasses of water.

“You didn’t watch the news today, did you?” He Wenhuai asked.

“No.”

After Zong Qifeng stepped down, he didn’t like to watch the news. He spent his days practicing calligraphy, going for a walk with Yuxiu and playing chess.

“You should take a look first.” He Wenhuai motioned his son to show the news to Zong Qifeng.

He Ruixing handed the phone to him. “Uncle Zong.”

After taking a look, Zong Qifeng was a little surprised, not because how outrageous the news was, but because of the fact that they came to him after something like this happened to their family.

It shouldn’t be difficult to cover this matter up with the connections the He family had.

“He, don’t tell me.” Zong Qifeng raised his head and looked at He Wenhuai across from him. “That this matter has something to do with me?”

Otherwise, why would he come to me?

He Wenhuai again heaved a sigh. “I am not as lucky as you. You have a good son, so you get to retire early, and enjoy your life. I’m about to be irritated to death by those reckless kids of mine.”

“He, what makes you say so?”

“Well.” He Wenhuai pointed at the child whose face was full of blood in the news. “I heard that this child was born by a woman Jinghao likes. Lin felt that that woman sabotaged the engagement between her and Jinghao, that’s why she— alas, what an embarrassing thing to say. Ruize loves his sister, and so, he kidnapped her child on impulse, wanting to use the child to threaten that woman to leave Jinghao.”

He Wenhuai evaded the serious matters.

He didn’t say that He Ruilin wanted to marry into the Zong family, so that an alliance could be formed between the two families, nor that He Ruize wanted to marry that woman.

Those things hurt his pride.

Zong Qifeng and Yuxiu looked at each other.

Who is this woman?

What’s the matter with the child?

Wasn’t it because of Lin Xinyan that Zong Jinghao called off the engagement last time?

There was no picture of Lin Xinyan on the news, so they didn’t know that this woman was Lin Xinyan.

Zong Jinghao ordered that Lin Xinyan was not allowed in the photo.

He didn’t want to involve her in such news.

“This matter may have angered Jinghao, that’s why I came to you.” He Wenhuai sighed again. Even at this age, he had to beg someone his age because of his children’s doing, so he felt upset.

“We are all distinguished and well-known people with status in society. I’ll be so humiliated once it’s spread out. I don’t need to come to you, but a conflict between our families will only hurt both sides, don’t you think so?”

He Wenhuai knew how to negotiate. He was not here to beg for mercy now. He just didn’t want the two families to fight with each other and hurt their relationship.
