Chapter 2274
Attempting to Dig a Trap Backfires
When He Daqing told her that he wanted to take He An home.
The little girl jumped three feet high, extremely happy.
This must be He Yuzhu's fault.
Actually, the little girl had been wanting to go home for a long time, but He Yuzhu had given her some instructions when she left home.
It's best not to go home before you finish your studies.
It's not that He Yuzhu dislikes He An.
The situation was different back then.
One-way commercial flights between Hong Kong Island and the old city were launched in 1979.
This year, a new route was launched between Sijiucheng and Hong Kong Island.
Before this, if He An wanted to return to Beijing, he could only do so by using connections to book a special flight through a certain agency in Hong Kong.
That would be too troublesome and have a negative impact.
The key point is that He Yuzhu didn't pay much attention to the matter of opening two-way commercial flights.
When a loved one leaves home, the process of missing them likely involves a gradual increase and decrease.
These two are not contradictory.
The frequency decreases, while the intensity increases.
Liu Ting hadn't thought about her third daughter for a long time.
But last year during the Spring Festival, she cried for several nights while lying on He Yuzhu's chest.
He Yuzhu was the kind of person you couldn't coax no matter what you did.
According to Liu Ting, she is not a good mother and has forgotten that she has this daughter outside.
This left He Yuzhu somewhat speechless, both amused and exasperated.
He felt a pang of sadness, but from last year until now, he hadn't really thought much about whether He An was doing well outside or whether he missed home.
After all, romantic love requires free time.
Since He Yuan became pregnant, the couple has devoted all their spare time to her.
Of course, another reason why He Yuzhu 'didn't want' his little daughter was that he knew very well that his daughter was doing very well in Hong Kong and had already integrated into the pace of life and study in Hong Kong.
With He Xinghua and Guo Shumiao taking care of He An, He Yuzhu can rest assured.
He would only think about it occasionally, and at most he would think that He An would be able to return after completing his studies in another year or two.
He An has accumulated a lot of experience in the past two years.
I don't dream as much as I used to.
She once fantasized about becoming a fairy in the heavens.
To live the kind of life depicted in TV dramas.
But she had already seen it all.
He Xinghua, her good brother, accompanied her to uncover the truth behind the glamorous clothes of celebrities.
This shattered He An's hopes and fantasies.
She once accompanied He Xinghua to the film and television company under the He family's name to handle official business.
I've seen those big stars who are incredibly famous and idols to young men and women all over Hong Kong, yet they don't even have the right to meet He Xinghua's secretary.
He Xinghua could simply beckon with his finger and those big stars would come running over eagerly.
They have lost all integrity.
She has also experienced what it's like to act.
She has appeared as a minor character in several films and television series.
For example, in a period drama set in the Republican era a while ago, she was still wearing a student uniform from that time, holding a small flag, walking in front, and leading the extras behind her to shout slogans.
It's dull, boring, and utterly uninteresting.
He Xinghua is a good brother; he didn't ignore his half-sister He An.
They didn't spoil He An too much.
Instead, it seems to be guiding Ho On to see through the true nature of Hong Kong society.
Of course, for He Xinghua, this could be considered as him using He An as a practice subject beforehand.
After all, he has two younger sisters.
He will eventually have to learn to do these things.
"...Did my Aunt Shu Miao agree?" He An asked, tears streaming down her face. Her delicate, classically beautiful oval face unconsciously revealed a pitiful and vulnerable expression.
This was definitely not something she did on purpose. She didn't need to pretend like this in front of her own grandfather.
At this moment, He Daqing no longer had that carefree, reckless look on his face; all the resentment and dissatisfaction had disappeared.
He handed the fruit plate from the coffee table to his granddaughter and said with a kind smile, "Grandpa must have contacted your Aunt Shumiao."
She'll have to help you ask for leave.
Summer vacation will start in two weeks.
I asked her to put in a good word with the school.
The final exams will be taken when you come back in the second half of the year.
"An'an, you can go back to Beijing with Grandpa without worry, have a summer vacation, and then come back."
"Does my brother know?" He An asked cautiously.
The expression on his face conveyed a sense of modesty, as if to say, "I don't want to cause trouble for others."
This is also taking advantage of the fact that He Daqing really doesn't understand her.
If He Yuzhu saw his daughter like this, his first reaction would be to become wary.
That quirky third sister is definitely plotting something.
"Your brother?..." He Daqing was still a little dizzy and didn't remember.
After thinking for a long time, he finally said, "Is it Xinghua?"
"Hmm!" He An lowered his eyes.
"He went to the mainland with his mother, apparently for an investment in Shanghai." He Daqing's expression became slightly unnatural as he spoke of this.
After all, Lou Xiao'e and her son most likely chose to return to the mainland because they found his actions too shameful and couldn't persuade him otherwise.
Out of sight, out of mind.
"what?
...Never mind then, I was thinking of having my brother help me buy some gifts.
"I don't know anything about Hong Kong Island..." He An said in a low voice, before revealing her true purpose.
All that tactful explanation boils down to just two sentences.
One was to ask He Daqing for money.
Another thing was to have He Daqing take her to buy gifts to take home.
She can't compare to He Yuan; He Yuan is a wealthy woman herself.
Even now, He Yuan's works still rank among the top ten best-selling comics in newspapers and magazines every year.
But she's been away for two years, she can't go home empty-handed, that would be too embarrassing.
Therefore, the only way to get money from He Daqing was through this roundabout and circuitous method.
As I said before, He An and He Daqing were still a bit distant.
"Tomorrow, Grandpa will take you tomorrow."
"Buy whatever you want, Grandpa has money." He Daqing patted his chest and made a grand promise.
He An sat up even more gracefully and said in a low voice, "I have money. I've saved all the living expenses my aunt gave me over the past two years."
There's nowhere to spend money at school.
He An's performance, in later terms, was that of a top-tier green tea.
She knew all the advantages and tactics of pretty girls.
However, it's not usually possible to test it on other people.
Now all of this is being used on her grandfather.
This adorable child breaks He Daqing's heart.
He quickly said, "You child, why are you being so polite with your grandfather?"
"Grandpa's, isn't that what you all belong to?"
"Thank you, Grandpa." He Anxin thanked He Daqing with satisfaction.
When He An went upstairs to rest, He Daqing felt quite accomplished and patted his sparse head.
Suddenly, he froze again.
He looked upstairs in disbelief. What had he been about to say to He An?
It seems they were thinking of sending He An home to cause some trouble for He Yuzhu.
But he was led astray by He An's words the whole time.
I didn't even think of it.
He Daqing looked suspicious and couldn't be sure for a moment. (End of Chapter)
