I don't know how long it took, but He Kuanwen finally gave in with a long sigh amid Zhuang Qi's begging.

"This matter will be settled here for now. Don't let it slip that Xiaoqing will be back soon."

After all, he didn't want Zhuang Qi to ruin his image in front of his daughter.

Little did he know that He Xiaoqing knew Zhuang Qi's character far better than he did.

Pang Hongzhen: "Brother-in-law, what do you mean..."

He Kuanwen seemed to be answering him and convincing himself: "After all, after living together for so many years, even if we don't mention these things, Xiaoqing is still young..."

This means I am relieved and don’t plan to divorce!

Zhuang Qi's eyes quickly flashed with joy.

Pang Hongzhen and Zhuang Ying looked at each other, but they both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

They said everything that needed to be said, and they also gave He Kuanwen a sample of what needed to be 'proofed'.

But He Kuanwen didn't want to seize this last chance, so there was nothing they could do.

Both Zhuang Ying and Pang Hongzhen could think of why He Xiaoyu asked them to reveal Zhuang Qi's harm to her in the first place.

I just wanted to give He Kuanwen, the biological father, one last chance.

She wanted to see if He Kuanwen could take on the responsibility of a father and help her daughter make decisions after knowing what Zhuang Qi had done to her behind her back.

But it was obvious that He Kuanwen's choice was destined to disappoint He Xiaoyu.

The couple were still sighing here, but He Kuanwen over there probably wavered too quickly and couldn't keep it on his face, so he coughed dryly and changed the subject.

Instead of saying why he was soft-hearted and not getting divorced, he asked...

"Hongzhen, Xiaoyu...does Xiaoyu know about this?"

Pang Hongzhen: "Brother-in-law, what do you mean? If I say that Xiaoyu doesn't know, I haven't had time to tell Xiaoyu. Do you still want me to hide it?"

"That's your daughter, my niece! My eldest sister is still watching from below!"

Every word is directed towards He Xiaoyu.

Zhuang Qi didn't expect that Pang Hongzhen would be so unwilling to let her get better this time. Why didn't she see that Pang Hongzhen was such a "warm-hearted" good person before?

Now she knows how to be a good uncle to He Xiaoyu. Why didn't Pang Hongzhen fart when she was teasing He Xiaoyu before? !

Obviously, Pang Hongzhen's pressing step by step not only made Zhuang Qi uncomfortable, but He Kuan, who was protecting Zhuang Qi, felt annoyed after hearing this.

He Kuanwen: "Hong Zhen, I know you feel sorry for Xiaoyu. She is my biological daughter. How could I not feel sorry for her at all?"

"But now that it has happened, all we have to do is make up for it. It makes no sense to still struggle with who should be held responsible and who should pay the price."

"Apart from letting the Haohao family break up, it won't be beneficial to everyone, right? We might as well save this energy to make up for it, and treat Xiaoyu better in the future. Isn't this better than anything else?"

Pang Hongzhen: "..." Doesn't make sense?This is so interesting. My daughter was bullied. If it doesn’t even make sense to hold her accountable, then what’s the point?

No wonder He Xiaoyu always said that He Kuanwen was partial to Zhuang Qi. This was no longer covert favoritism, this was overt protection!

This brother-in-law of his is so talented!

Fortunately, he didn't like He Kuanwen very much before. He felt that he was quite incapable of moving up the company in all these years.

As a result, after listening to these words now, he suddenly felt that He Kuanwen was even more hypocritical than he expected. In the past, he would have been closer to He Kuanwen.

They are kind of like each other. With such a personality, He Kuanwen will definitely not be able to do well in the workplace even if he doesn't get promoted.

But now... Pang Hongzhen closed his eyes. He seemed to be able to foresee the outcome of his brother-in-law making one wrong step after another...

He Kuanwen was still here to persuade Pang Hongzhen: "I think it's better not to tell Xiaoyu about this matter. After all, Xiaoyu has called Zhuang Qi's mother for so many years. If she knows that Zhuang Qi did something wrong in a single thought, I'm afraid that she will be mentally disturbed." I can’t accept it.”

This is a very high-sounding statement.

Even Pang Hongzhen had to admire He Kuanwen for this. Obviously the four people present now knew it in their hearts. They knew that He Xiaoyu had no feelings for Zhuang Qi, the stepmother, but only hatred.

He Xiaoyu wished that Zhuang Qi would end badly.

But He Kuanwen was stunned and could tell lies with his eyes open and make the words sound better.

Those who didn’t know better thought that his family relationship was so harmonious and that his family was so loving and filial that he didn’t want his daughter to be disappointed in her stepmother.

Pang Hongzhen couldn't help laughing.

The scene suddenly became a little stiff.

The doorbell rang suddenly, and the sudden sound broke the silence in the room.

Zhuang Qi breathed a sigh of relief: "Xiao Qing should be back. This girl came back pretty quickly after taking a bath."

In her opinion, with the younger generation around, Pang Hongzhen would no longer be able to talk to that girl He Xiaoyu on the basis of excuses.

It had to be her daughter, who had such a connection with her that she even came back to rescue her in such a timely manner.

Feeling relieved in his heart, Zhuang Qi felt a little more relaxed on his face.

When he opened the door, he was still joking: "When I left just now, I looked unhappy. Isn't the bathhouse still comfortable? If you wash it at home, can you wash it so fast? You have to collect it after washing...Xiaoyu? Why are you coming back? Already?!"

Because he was so shocked, Zhuang Qi even changed the tone of his voice.

He Xiaoyu casually glanced into the room, made eye contact with Zhuang Ying and Pang Hongzhen, and raised the corners of her mouth with a faint smile: "Why, you don't welcome me back?"

"When you see me, it's like you've seen a ghost." She asked deliberately, "What did you do to feel sorry for me, and now you feel guilty when you look at me?"

If she had talked to Zhuang Qi like this before, He Kuanwen would have been the first to scold her.

But this time, He Kuanwen acted as if he didn't listen, but Zhuang Qi no longer dared to pretend to be wronged like before.

I didn’t dare to file a complaint.

The expression on his face quickly adjusted, and he soon put together a somewhat bitter and flattering smile.

Zhuang Qi: "How is that possible? Xiaoyu, look at how much you think about it. I haven't looked at you for a long time. I am so happy to see you back."

He Xiaoyu shrugged: "I thought you wished I would never come back in this life."

Zhuang Qi sneered: "No way, you girl just loves to joke, come in quickly, your aunt and uncle are here today, let's have a family reunion dinner at noon."

After finishing speaking, Zhuang Qi noticed that there were two people following He Xiaoyu.

There was a slight pause in the movement of letting people into the room, and his eyes swept around Qin Mu and Qin Hao unnoticeably.

Qin Hao was okay, Qin's mother was dressed like this and had a face that was obviously darkened by the wind and sun.

At first glance, he doesn't look like he's from the city.

Zhuang Qi frowned slightly: "Xiaoyu, who are these two?"

He Xiaoyu sneered, not even bothering to explain, and took Mother Qin and Qin Hao directly past Zhuang Qi who was blocking the door, and entered the house in a swaggering manner.

He Kuan heard that he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.

He took two deep breaths before forcing a smile.

He Kuan heard: "Xiaoyu, your Aunt Zhuang is asking you, who are these two?"

This was the first time He Kuanwen used the title "Aunt Zhuang" in front of He Xiaoyu.

In the past, he always forced He Xiaoyu to call Zhuang Qi 'Mom'.

In He Kuanwen's view, this was an obvious concession and show of goodwill that he could make.

But obviously, He Xiaoyu doesn't accept this trick.
