Blossoming Flowers - Chapter 200
She did not die,” Master He hurriedly said. “She was only injured on her waist and spent a few days at the hospital before she was let out again. It was not too serious, and I am sure that my daughter never planned on actually killing her.”
Han Weisheng’s eyebrows rose slightly, and he could not help but snort in disgust.
“She has such a black heart that she was willing to harm an innocent person, even if she had not planned for it to become a murder, it could have happened.”
Master He finally understood that Han Weisheng might not have approved of Jiang Yingyue, but he was not as opposed to her as he initially thought.
Han Weisheng was still completely rational and waited to understand the whole situation before coming up with a decision on what to do.
After thinking for a bit, Han Weisheng looked at Master He. “I am willing to give a lending hand to the He family on a few conditions.
“First of all, Jiang Yingyue is never to be touched again. If I ever see any of the He family turn against Jiang Yingyue, I will personally make sure that you cannot remain in the country.
“Secondly, make sure that He Yuyan gets her punishment. As to how you want to answer to us, I will let you decide on your own, but if it is not a sincere enough answer, I will not help.
“Thirdly, you hand over the business to your son. I know it is sooner than expected, but He Julong is much more suitable for running a business than you are. He should be able to see what to do and not to do in this situation.”
“I… I understand,” Master He nodded his head, but his heart was filled with bitterness.
Although he was not willing to sacrifice his daughter, he understood that now, he had no other option than to do so.
At the same time, he had to give up all his power to his son. Even though this would have happened eventually, he was not happy with it happening so soon. He was even less comfortable with being indirectly called useless, or at least worse than his son.
Han Weisheng understood Master He quite well. He knew that he was displeased with the solution that he had offered, but he was not going to offer anything better than this.
Master He’s father originally had a good relationship with Han Weisheng, and it was only because of these old ties that he decided to help them, even though they had done something that he could not condone.
Han Weisheng was aware that by stepping into this mess, he would cause both his son, grandson, and granddaughter-in-law to look at him with hostile eyes, and he was feeling helpless.
Unfortunately, the Old Master of the He family, who was now dead, had once saved Han Weisheng’s life. He owed him far too much. When the He family was on the verge of dying, he had to reach out a helping hand; given that they dealt with the culprit behind the incident with Jiang Yingyue.
“I cannot guarantee anything, though,” Han Weisheng said after a bit of contemplating.
“If it were the Han family who was suppressing you, then it would be possible to help you in a heartbeat, but it is the Zhou family. Their influence is as significant as ours, and we are unable to threaten them. In the end, your contract is with them, so if they are suppressing you, we might not be able to do anything.
“What I can do is to try speaking with their old man,” Han Weisheng promised, but he was still slightly unsure if he would actually be able to make a difference.
A sigh escaped his lips, and he shook his head. Master He was anything but pleased with how things were going, but in the end, he had no other option than to accept the goodwill given by Han Weisheng.
Their conversation quickly came to an end, and while Master He fumed while returning to the He mansion, Han Weisheng contacted his grandson on the phone.
“Qingshan?” Han Weisheng inquired when he saw the call was picked up. He dared not assume it was his grandson any longer, now that he had a girlfriend, so he wanted to know who he was speaking with before beginning the conversation.
“It’s me,” Han Qingshan’s melodious voice sounded on the other end of the phone, there was no impatience in his voice, but it did not sound overly friendly either. From his tone of voice, it was easy for Han Weisheng to guess that Han Qingshan still had not forgiven him for looking down on Jiang Yingyue before.
“I just had a meeting with the master of the He family,” Han Weisheng said seriously, “I did not know that their little lass was so outrageous and had done such things to your girl. Anyhow, I am afraid I might have to get involved. The old man of the He family saved my life once upon a time, so watching their family business collapsing is something I cannot do.
“I gave them a few things I need them to do in case they want my help, though. First of all, they have to give a satisfactory answer about He Yuyan and her behavior. Secondly, I warned them never to touch your girl again. And finally, I wanted He Julong, that kid, to take over the family. I think he can be good support later on, but only if you can control him.”
