Almost had a falling out
In the study.
"Mom, I hope you can keep your promise."
He Shaochen knew that if he hadn't come back in time, Mother He would have revealed the secret.
By this time, Mother He had already regained her composure. She let out a long sigh of relief and smiled bitterly. "Shaochen, even if I don't say anything, how long can this matter be concealed? Joe Qiao will know the truth one day. When that time comes, can you still hide it from her? "
"We'll drag it out as long as we can. She just lost her child, and I don't want to tell her the cruel truth."
"Heh." When Mother He heard this, she couldn't help but sneer. She looked at He Shaochen's face, which was similar to Father He's, and leisurely said, "Shaochen, you're really as hypocritical as your father."
He Shaochen frowned and looked at his Mother He in confusion. "Mom, what do you mean?"
Mother He crossed her arms and said expressionlessly, "Today, when I was shopping with Andol, I saw you walking with a girl, and you were behaving intimately."
From an outsider's point of view, they were clearly an intimate couple.
Men were all the same. As long as they had power and influence, no matter how good their wives were at home, they couldn't help but flirt outside. This seemed to have become the custom of this circle. It would be strange if they didn't do it.
He Shaochen frowned and explained, "Well, there's a reason for that."
He didn't tell his family about his cooperation with Elder Xu and the others, nor did he intend to tell them.
Because the probability of opposition was 100%.
However, in Mother He's eyes, this was simply the standard template of an adulterous husband. There was a reason for it. It was because he had to socialize, because he had no choice, because the other party was pestering him …
They were all saying the same thing!
She was tired. She had heard too many similar words and did not want to listen anymore.
She let out a long sigh. "Forget it. Anyway, you won't listen to anything I say. Today's matter is my fault. Because of a moment of desperation, I almost blurted out the truth. I won't mention that matter again. As for your matter, I won't tell anyone. Anyway, I'll be happier if you really cheat."
"Mom …"
"Alright, I'll do whatever you want me to do, okay? I'm tired, really tired. "
When Mother He said this, she looked tired.
Father He's reaction today had broken her heart. Not to mention the others, even she knew that she had lost her composure.
Just like what Freya had said, the Qiu family's face had been completely disgraced by her.
She no longer had the slightest bit of hope for this family. What they wanted to do had nothing to do with her.
He Shaochen looked at the disheartened Mother He and felt a little sorry for her.
He walked over and hugged Mother He, saying calmly, "Mom, I won't be taken away by anyone. I'll always be your son. Even if it's Qiao Qiao, it won't change this fact."
Mother He's body stiffened. The tears that she had held back flowed out again.
The most important thing in her life was her husband and child. However, they had caused her to suffer a crushing defeat. She had already lost all hope, but she did not expect her son to say what she cared about.
No matter who it was, they could not change the relationship between mother and son.
After a long time.
Mother He slowly opened her mouth.
"Shaochen …"
Her voice was hoarse and her shoulders were trembling violently. She said intermittently, "Mom … Mom … Mom won't make things difficult for Qiao Qiao anymore …"
"Do as you like. I won't interfere with you anymore. I won't …"
"Mom, thank you."
Mother He choked with sobs. She leaned into He Shaochen's arms. She did not know when the child in her arms had grown up enough to take her into his arms.
It turned out that she had always neglected this point.

Andol had been quite anxious recently.
According to her informant's report, the woman who had been walking with He Shaochen recently was the granddaughter of Elder Xu, a leading figure in the political world. It was said that Elder Xu had long had the idea of a marriage alliance.
"Damn that old man, he just had to interfere at this crucial point!"
Not only that, Mother He's recent attitude also made Andol very worried.
A few days ago, Mother He was still gnashing her teeth at Qiao Qiao and wanted to skin her alive. But recently, she had not mentioned a word about Qiao Qiao. Even if she mentioned it casually, Mother He would skip it lightly. Obviously, Mother He did not want to talk about that woman.
Andol could not be too obvious and make Mother He suspicious. But in her heart, she was scratching her chest. What on earth had gone wrong?
She gritted her teeth and thought about how to let Qiao Qiao know that she was infertile so that she would back off.
A cell phone rang. Andol was stunned. When she saw the caller ID, she frowned. It was Dr. Jiang.
She answered the phone impatiently. "Hello?"
"Miss An, how have you been?" Dr. Jiang's voice had a hint of flattery. When Andol heard this voice, her intuition told her that something bad was going to happen.
Her heart skipped a beat. She asked coldly, "What's the matter?"
"That … Hehe. Actually, it's not a big deal. I'm just a little short of money recently. Can you transfer some money to me?"
"No!"
Andol refused directly. "Dr. Jiang, we agreed before that the money will be transferred to you in batches. Before you went abroad, I gave you 10 million yuan in advance. There are still two months before the next transfer."
Dr. Jiang's voice sounded a little anxious. "But I don't have any money on me now. What should I do?"
"What? How can you not have money? Where did the 10 million yuan I gave you go? "
"Sigh, it's all because of that woman in the house. She listened to other people's slanderous words and started a private placement. In the end, the other party was a gang of scammers and all the money was taken away."
Dr. Jiang was so angry at the mention of this matter that her teeth itched.
Now that she was no longer a doctor and had lost her source of income, she could only rely on Andol to survive.
When Andol heard this, she laughed out loud. "Dr. Jiang, you've deceived so many people since you became a doctor. Isn't this retribution?"
"Miss An, now is not the time to be sarcastic."
"I won't transfer the money until the agreed time. If I can't do it, you won't have any money. Don't be so extravagant for the next two months. You can still get through it if you grit your teeth."
She did not want to have any problems in any aspect. Moving a large amount of money in a short period of time would easily arouse suspicion. She could not ruin everything because of Dr. Jiang.
"Miss An, must you be so heartless?" Dr. Jiang's voice was a little flustered.
Andol sneered. "It's your mistress who lost your money. You can ask her for the money back. Anyway, don't call me if there's nothing important."
She was about to hang up the phone when Dr. Jiang said angrily, "Miss An, don't be so heartless!"
"Hmph, you can't blame me for this, right? It's because you're too stupid to make such a mistake. "
"Well, you're burning the bridge after crossing the river, aren't you?"
"If I were to burn the bridge after crossing the river, I wouldn't have transferred the money to you!" An Duo was infuriated by Dr. Jiang's accusation. "Why should I pay for the consequences of your own actions? I won't change the agreement two months later. Don't call me for these things in the future! "
"You, you're good, Miss An. Are you really going to leave us in the lurch?"
Dr. Jiang continued to ask.
Andol was no longer in the mood to continue arguing with Dr. Jiang. She said coldly, "If you insist on thinking this way, I can't help it. That's it. Goodbye."
An Duo hung up the phone, but not long after, she called again. It was still Dr. Jiang.
Andol cursed Dr. Jiang for being shameless and hung up directly.
But soon, Dr. Jiang called again and again more than ten times.
In the end, Andol could not take it anymore. She picked up the phone again and said angrily, "Dr. Jiang, I said that I won't transfer the money, so I won't. If you come to me again, I won't give you a single cent!"
"An Xiaoduo, did you take the wrong medicine?"
An Ziyan's voice came from the phone.
Andol's pupils shrank suddenly, and she knew that something was wrong. "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
