Should you or should you not?

s, but they planned to find out what was going on first before making a big splash. They hadn't expected to be beaten to the punch. However, during the escalating rumors, the two of them did play thei...But Old Lady He glared at Mother He instead, then turned her gaze back to He Zhansuo, hinting again and again.

After a moment of eye contact, He Zhan and Old Mrs. He walked over. Without saying a word, he was about to pick up Old Mrs. He again. Old Mrs. He was furious. Her cries were sharp and urgent, as if she were being slaughtered like a pig, and her eyes began to blaze with anger as she glared at He Zhan.

He Zhanxu looked at his grandmother like this, his heart grew colder and colder.

Grandma, what are you doing Even your grandson is like this, can't you let him go Rong Ling and Lin Meng aren't asking for an apology from their grandson; they want yours. Your grandson did all this to save face for you. What good will it do if you make your grandson go back now!

"Let's go!"

Pain was hidden in his eyes, he looked unwaveringly at Old Madam He, and lifted her up. What he received, however, was a very light sound, "pa---".

"Mom!" Mother He was stunned!

This old woman couldn't move much of her body, but at this moment, she could muster the strength to slap out like this. Although it was light and didn't seem to use much force, it was enough to make people feel a chill and pain in their hearts!

You old man, you're in this state, and you can still miraculously slap like that. But why can't you turn your mind around and apologize You just have to vent your aggression on your grandchildren! Your own descendants, can you treat them so poorly! Don't you know, Grandma, that this kind of aggression only towards your own people is completely pathetic. As the head of the He family, you've always been in charge of the family's survival plan. The He family is facing a crisis of ruin, and this is exactly when the head should step up, but at this moment, you chose to hide, letting your grandchildren run around for you, beg for you, and bear the heavy negative pressure caused by you. Grandma, there's no one like you! This is so selfish!

“Let’s go!” Mother He coldly glared, coming over to help the cold He Zhanxu. She pushed Old Madam He onto her wheelchair. Old Madam He trembled her hands, glaring at Mother He with a look as if she wanted to slap her too. But in the end, she was no match for Mother He. After just delivering that one blow, she had used up all her strength and couldn't muster another attack in a short time!

Old Mrs. He just whimpered and groaned, her bloated body wouldn't cooperate either, trembling and struggling to dart outwards. [..] Finally, Mother He got angry, saying in a low voice:

"Mom, are you trying to apologize Okay, I'll take you there and have you apologize to Lin Meng and Rong Ling until they decide to forgive you!"

Old Madam He suddenly fell silent, staring at her mother, He. Her face, wrinkled and weathered like tree bark, trembled like chaff. To be frank, Mother He thought she looked quite hideous. Unafraid of Old Madam He's angry glare, she, along with He Zhansu, helped place Old Madam He in her wheelchair.

He Zhanxu started to push.

Then Old Mrs. He let out a sound of excruciating pain.

Several people looked over, but were utterly speechless. After the silence, they felt a strange urge to laugh. Of course, it was a self-deprecating chuckle, laughing at their own naiveté and at the old woman's aggression and selfishness!

This, however, was the old woman's own hand that got caught in the wheel. As the wheel moved, her hand naturally felt pain. This old woman was truly going to any lengths; she would rather endure the pain herself than lower her head.

She really cares about face!

But her face is face, other people's face isn't a face!

Matters have reached this point, He Zhan Su is no longer willing to say anything. What he has done today is enough. He has long understood the concept of action and inaction; he has already embraced inaction for filial piety's sake. But now, he can no longer be blindly obedient!

He forced the old woman's hand out from between the wheels with a harsh pull and placed it on her body. He Zhanxu quickly pushed her wheelchair away, ignoring her cries.

Just as the four of them were about to reach the door, Lin Meng, who had had enough, spoke up.

"Hé Zhàn Sù, you stay. The rest of you, leave first!"

The four of them were stunned for a moment, and besides He Zhanshu, gleeful sparks flashed in the eyes of the other three. He Jiashan's aunt couldn't hide her delight; the smile on her face blossomed like flowers. She immediately moved closer to He Zhanshu, pushing him aside with her hand, took over the task of pushing the wheelchair, and kept chattering happily.

“I’ll push, I’ll push. Zhan Su, then we’re going first.” Gao finished saying this loudly, and then she abruptly lowered her voice, speaking in a volume only He Zhanshu and his mother could hear. “Zhan Su, our family is counting on you, do well. A true man can bend and stretch, so please think about your father, mother, and all the relatives at home.”

After finishing his words, he hurriedly pushed the old woman away, fearing that if he waited any longer, He Zhanshu's stubborn mind would still not turn around. He Zhan shu was still determined to leave. Mother He also knew that at this time, if Lin Meng spoke up and asked her son to stay, there must be hope, so she implicitly squeezed her son's hand heavily and nodded at him emphatically. She then cast a deep look at him and hurriedly followed behind He Jiat San Shu. As for the old woman He, she was quiet at this moment and finally stopped talking.

He Zhanxu didn't actually want to stay, but three heavyweight women - his grandmother, his mother, and his aunt - all unanimously expressed their desire for him to stay. No matter how reluctant he was, with this leg, he just couldn't leave. Outside, five meters away, it was pitch black. If he merged into it, then he could escape everything. But the burden of being the eldest grandson of the He family prevented him from escaping. Before leaving, Aunt San spoke with deep meaning, directly cutting off his path.

He thought about the words he had spoken with such conviction just moments ago, and now, contemplating his current situation, he felt utterly contemptible, from head to toe. With a struggle, he turned back, allowing this feeling of shame to completely consume him.

"Why stand so far away, come talk to me!"

Lin Meng greeted with her mouth, but she stood up and walked to the side. Leaving He Zhansuo alone, it was a need, but not an essential one. She couldn't bear the tragedies that had happened to her, and were happening to others. Distant people, she couldn't control, but Bingbing and Li Yiping had just caught her eye recently, and she could only help them. It wasn't about hatred, just hoping that every innocent child could have a happy family. Besides, He Zhansuo's final actions made her appreciate him a little. Old Madam He was someone who despised dogs, but He Zhansuo didn't act like his third aunt, directly pushing Old Madam He to the forefront. This man was somewhat in agreement with Lin Meng's idea of protecting family. Even if a person is bad, they are still your own family. You can advise and scold them behind their back, but in front of others, you shouldn't humiliate them like a dog!

She walked over to the two little ones, sat down beside them, and joined their block-building operation. He Zhansuo stared for a moment, then slowly ambled over to Rong Ling.

Rong Ling reached out and pointed to his side. He Zhanxu understood and sat down beside him. His big hand instinctively held a fist, placed on his knees.

Are you awake

Rong Ling coldly only asked this sentence, then closed her thin lips. Her cold eyes, sharp as blades, stared at him, with an attitude of scrutiny.

He Zhanxu stared blankly at Rong Ling, feeling as if his head had been smashed by him. After a brief moment of dizziness, he felt strangely clear-headed.

This means ---

He didn't dare to think, yet the shame, already surged into his heart!

He slightly spread his fist, his fingers twitching like they were having a spasm before clenching them even tighter than before.

"You—"

His lips moved, but no suitable words came out. Only his eyes betrayed the excitement and turmoil in his heart.

Rong Ling's face, with its sharp angles, held an inherent coldness. It was the bearing of a superior, and also the attitude of someone who couldn't care less about these insignificant mortals. He looked down slowly.

Thank you!

He uttered with difficulty. He probably has some enlightenment!

It was Rong Ling who spoke first.

"If you hadn't performed well later, I wouldn't have kept you. You, over the past two years, have become more and more effeminate. Where is that man who fought alongside me and even wanted to compete with me"

He Zhanxu heard this and half lowered his face, feeling shame but no anger. Because he understood, and because Rong Ling was right!

"A troop is a good crucible, but you're too close to home. The toughness you build up in the army is diluted by the pampering at home. If this continues—"

Rong Ling snorted and didn't say anything more.

He's not a charity case, just stop there. Saying a couple of things is enough, consider it a favor from today's friendship.

"If you want a way out, then yes, but you have to fully cooperate with me. I'm going to bring down the Liu family, do you agree"

He spoke, still as concise as ever, but the weight contained within each sentence was undeniably profound.

He Zhanxu was stunned this time, more than any previous instance. Rong Ling actually said he wanted to pull the Liu family down, which in his view, was something he didn't even dare to think about. This was simply madness. What was the Liu family It was a powerful force, and he wanted to target them, this—this—

Is Rong Ling joking!

How is that possible!

This man has always been a man of his word. Since he made such a statement, he will definitely do it. Moreover, he is so bold that he revealed the plan without any indication from himself. You know, dealing with the Liu family is a big deal, and it cannot be taken lightly. Yet, he just said it out loud.

Are you trusting him

No, absolutely not!

This is the capital that this man has absolute confidence, so he doesn't have to worry about showing it to him directly, and even gave himself room for choice. He wasn't afraid that he would report back to Liu's family, because if he did that, he should be destroyed by this man just like Liu's family.

This is also -- a test this man gives himself!

If one's stance is not firm enough, then the man will certainly take back this opportunity!

This man is so arrogant!

Such courage, I wouldn't have it in me my whole life!
