Report to the president, the lady doesn't want you anymore

As a clear-headed, wise and intelligent mother, Ye Zhen knows that if she forces a stubborn child like He Li to go on a blind date, it will inevitably cause strong resistance.

Therefore, after careful consideration, she decided to cleverly use a roundabout strategy to achieve her goal.

"Son, look, your eldest brother has been trying hard to take over our family group for the past two years. But to be honest, he's still inexperienced and not as experienced and steady as you. Next month, he has to go to Beihuai to discuss important business with the Gong family. Mom thinks that with your abilities and experience, it would be great if you could go over and help your eldest brother!"

In fact, He Li had been shutting himself off from the world for the past two years. Deep down, he felt a deep sense of guilt towards his elder brother.

After hearing his mother's words, He Li was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Okay, Mom, I promise you."

At this moment, Ye Zhen's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally relaxed a little. She understood that as long as He Li was willing to step out of this manor and into the wider world outside, it meant that things were beginning to develop in the direction she expected.

Just as he was about to leave the manor, Ye Zhen quickly called A Da and others.

She knew very well that Ah Da, Ah San and Shen Anan were loyal to He Li and had no second thoughts.

"Hello, is that Ah Da? He Li is going to Bei Huai for some business next month, so I'll have to trouble you to take extra care of him. Also, I've arranged for someone to meet with him. As for the details... well, anyway, I hope you can provide some assistance."

Although Ye Zhen did not express his words too directly and clearly, how could someone as smart as Ah Da not understand the deeper meaning?

"Please rest assured, old lady! I know exactly what you are thinking. Mr. He has indeed lived through extraordinary hardship and pain over the past two years. We all sincerely hope that he can escape this predicament as soon as possible."

As Ah Da said this, he thought to himself: In fact, he knew He Li better than anyone else, and he knew that he was not the kind of person who would easily change his mind.

Otherwise, how could he still be obsessed with that woman after being separated from Gu Yan for such a long time?

However, at the same time, deep down in his heart, Ada desperately wanted Heli to completely get out of the haze of this relationship.

You know, the road of life is so long. If you keep immersed in the pain of the past and cannot extricate yourself, how sad it will be!

Therefore, he sincerely hopes that the person he admires can have a happy and joyful life instead of spending his life in pain.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was time to set off for Beihuai.

On this day, He Mian unexpectedly met He Li, whom he had not seen for a long time.

Facing his younger brother, He Mian's emotions were complicated, with deep love and care mixed with some unspeakable hatred.

But he cleverly hid all these complex emotions beneath his calm appearance, and no one could detect any clues.

Just as the He family's private plane was about to take off, a figure was seen rushing towards them at lightning speed in the distance. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be He Zhao!

He ran as hard as he could, shouting, "Brothers, are you heading to Beihuai? Why didn't you inform me? Beihuai is my base camp!"

It turned out that He Zhao had studied at a university in Beihuai. Since leaving there and coming to Jinghai, so many years have passed, and he has never returned to his hometown. At this moment, he was full of joy, thinking that he could take this opportunity to revisit his old place.

However, what was unexpected was that in addition to He Zhao himself, there was a woman following closely by his side.

This woman was none other than Gu Yan’s good friend, Zhao Qingqing.

When He Li saw Zhao Qingqing, a sense of familiarity arose in his heart.

After all, she was once his employee. However, Zhao Qingqing no longer worked for He Li, but for some reason, the moment she saw He Li, her body couldn't help but tremble slightly, as if she had seen something that frightened her.

"Hello, Mr. He..." Zhao Qingqing said timidly, her voice so low that only she could hear it.

Although she no longer has any work connection with He Li, everything she experienced in the past, especially the various methods He Li used to deal with Gu Yan, are still deeply imprinted in her heart, making her feel cold every time she thinks of it.

He Zhao saw Zhao Qingqing's timid appearance and his originally excited mood instantly turned into a little unhappy.

He frowned slightly and said unhappily, "Hmph! Look at how cowardly you are. When you see my elder brother, you're like a mouse seeing a cat!" There was a hint of strong jealousy in his words.

"Why haven't I seen you be so respectful to me normally? Zhao Qingqing, it's obvious that you are looking down on me!" He Zhao looked at the woman in front of him with a playful expression, a faint smile on his lips.

Hearing this, Zhao Qingqing's face flushed with anger, and she cursed in her heart: This damn He Zhao always manages to provoke my anger so easily! She glared at He Zhao fiercely, her hands unconsciously clenching the corners of her clothes, and she really wanted to rush over and block his chattering mouth.

Zhao Qingqing and He Zhao were born enemies. Their encounters were always accompanied by heated arguments. Whether it was the smallest of matters or the most consequential, they always found excuses to blame each other and refused to compromise. However, the strange thing was that despite their unrelenting verbal attacks and heated arguments, deep down, they didn't truly dislike each other.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this unique way of getting along that their relationship became increasingly confusing. Others found it difficult to understand the reason, but only they knew that their repeated quarrels were just a different way of communicating their emotions.

The relationship between He Mian and He Zhao had always been very distant, with almost no so-called familial bond between them. At this moment, facing the situation of about to board the plane, He Mian simply raised his wrist nonchalantly, and his slender fingers gently tapped the exquisite and luxurious watch.

However, this seemingly insignificant action made He Zhao understand instantly. He turned around without hesitation and boarded the long-awaited plane with steady steps.

Fortunately, there was another girl named Shen Anan on the flight besides them. It was because of her presence that Zhao Qingqing didn't feel too embarrassed or awkward.

It turned out that Shen Anan knew very well that the Zhao Qingqing in front of her was the lady's close friend when she was alive. Based on this special connection, she naturally developed an indescribable sense of intimacy and goodwill towards Zhao Qingqing.

So, with their different moods and purposes, a group of seven people including He Mian, He Zhao, Zhao Qingqing and Shen Anan officially started this journey to Beihuai, which was full of unknown challenges.

After about eight long hours, the plane, carrying so much anticipation and longing, finally landed smoothly on the runway with a low roar. As the cabin door slowly opened, a wave of heat washed over them, announcing their arrival at their destination—Beihuai.

The environment here is completely different from Jinghai.

As soon as we stepped off the plane, we could immediately feel the scorching heat in the air, as if it could set everything on fire. Fortunately, everyone had prepared well and changed into light, breathable summer clothes, which gave us a slight sense of coolness and avoided the oppressive heat.

Standing outside the terminal, He Zhao was as excited as a young boy, constantly introducing this city he was so familiar with to the people around him: "Look! I can't believe Beihuai has undergone such tremendous changes over the years. Second brother, do you remember? The airport in Beihuai didn't look like this before!"

However, his words did not receive any response from anyone. Only the noisy voices around him and the sound of rolling luggage wheels intertwined to form a unique melody.

On the other side, the people of Beihuai Gong family had been waiting anxiously at the airport for a long time.

When they saw He Li and his group coming out of the VIP channel, they immediately stepped forward and enthusiastically took the heavy suitcases from everyone, with sincere smiles on their faces, as if they were relatives reuniting after a long separation.

"Welcome everyone! I am the steward of the Gong family. My master is honored to learn that Mr. He has taken the trouble to come to Beihuai personally, and has specially sent me to greet you. However, unfortunately, my master has been tied up with some matters and cannot meet with Mr. He today. For this, on my master's behalf, I would like to express my sincere apologies in advance."

The housekeeper of the Gong family had a smile on his face and spoke with respect, but his eyes kept glancing at He Li who was standing beside him.

This housekeeper is a real shrewd person. He has long been aware of the situation of the He family. He knows very well that the person who truly holds power and is in charge of the He family is not the apparent President He, but the seemingly low-key He Li in front of him.

Therefore, from the very beginning, he focused all his attention on He Li, and almost every word he said was directed at He Li, completely ignoring He Mian next to him.

Such obvious differential treatment naturally made He Mian, who was supposed to be the protagonist, very unhappy.

His face darkened slightly, his hands unconsciously clenched into fists, and he thought to himself, "This old fox, doesn't he know that I am the rightful head of the He family? He actually flattered He Li so blatantly!"

But due to the occasion, He Mian couldn't lose his temper right then and there. He could only suppress his dissatisfaction and try hard to keep a smile on his face.
