The Male Lead Suddenly Became My Lapdog after I Annulled Our Engagement

180 Stirring Up The Situation

He Miao lowered her head and drank her tea expressionlessly. As she listened to the harmonious conversation between the grandmother and granddaughter opposite her, sleepiness gradually came.

When He Feng returned, He Miao had almost fallen asleep on the sofa.

When he saw his mother, he walked over excitedly and sat down beside her. “Mom, how was your trip abroad?”

“It’s good. I’m just all alone. If only I could have Weiwei accompany me.” She had only mentioned He Wei on purpose, as if she did not even consider He Miao her own granddaughter. The whole family did not think there was anything wrong with it.

He Feng nodded lightly. “Weiwei has been busy with work recently. When she’s on vacation, let her go on a trip with you.”

“Yes, grandma. I’ll definitely accompany you when I’m not busy.” He Wei smiled sweetly. From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the isolated He Miao and changed the topic. “Speaking of which, since you have nothing to do during winter break, why don’t you spend some time with grandma on my behalf?”

Before He Miao could say anything, Grandma He snorted unhappily. “I don’t want her to keep me company. She doesn’t care about the He family at all. She’s just as selfish as her mother.”

He Miao had planned to finish her meal in peace and go home to sleep, but the sleepiness in her eyes was dispelled when she heard this. A hint of coldness shot out of her eyes. “If my mother was selfish, why did she bring such a generous dowry when she married into the He family? I’d like to ask whose pocket this money has fallen into now, and who became the mistress of the He family without paying a single cent?”

“He Miao!” When Zhong Fei heard her mention the dowry, she finally could not help but stand up. “Since I’m married to Brother Feng, the dowry is also mine’s and Brother Feng’s shared property. Now that I’m your stepmother, it’s normal for this money to be kept by me!”

“Shared property?” He Miao looked up coldly. “You really don’t think of yourself as an outsider. The money my mother left me was pocketed by you, and now you’re saying that she’s selfish. I want to ask Grandma, did my father pay for your trip this time? Some time ago, my dad’s company was in trouble and he didn’t have any spare money to transfer to you. You spent my mom’s money to eat, drink, and have fun, so what right do you have to say that she’s selfish?”

“He Miao! I must kill you today!” He Feng picked up Old Madam He’s walking stick in a fit of anger and was about to teach her a lesson.

The butler immediately put on a bitter face and risked his life to stop him. “You can’t hit her, Mr. He. You can’t hit her. If there’s anything, just sit down and talk it out. If there’s a misunderstanding, just clear it up.”

He Wei took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire and said, “He Miao, don’t go too far with your words. If the He family hadn’t sent you money all these years, how could you have grown up in the countryside and learned how to make perfumes? It’s fine if you don’t thank your parents, but how could you say that to them?”

“I’m spending my mother’s money,” He Miao glanced expressionlessly at the butler who kept giving her meaningful looks. Suddenly, she laughed inexplicably and said in a cold tone, “Also, He Wei, don’t forget what you did to me before. You have no right to educate me. You’re just an illegitimate daughter.”

“You’re talking nonsense! My daughter is the legitimate heiress of the He family!” When Zhong Fei heard this, she was furious. She thought of the netizens who were still chasing after her and her daughter and pounced into He Feng’s arms with grievance. “Hubby, look at He Miao. She’s bullying Weiwei and I. We can’t stay in this house anymore!”

He Feng patted her back to comfort her and walked to He Miao. He looked down at her and said, “I actually don’t know who gave you the confidence to speak to me like this!”

Seeing the tense atmosphere, the old butler wanted to cry but had no tears. He did not expect He Miao to say anything and let this matter pass, but Jing Yan had ordered him to protect He Miao’s safety. Even if he had ten times the courage, he would not dare to let anything happen to He Miao.

He could only bite the bullet and advise tactfully, “Old Madam, Master, let’s eat first. The food will get cold soon.”

“Don’t let her eat!” The old lady pointed at He Miao angrily. “How dare you talk back to your elders. Starve her for a day and let her remember.”

Then, she ordered the maids behind her to take He Miao into the storage room and keep an eye on her.

The few of them looked at each other for a while. Just as they were about to make a move, the butler hurriedly stopped them. “Old Madam, why do you have to do this? If this matter gets out, it will affect the reputation of our He family. Besides, Eldest Miss is still in the entertainment industry. We can’t make a big deal out of this.”

When the old lady heard him mention He Wei, a hint of hesitation flashed across her eyes. However, she was really angry and snorted coldly. “Anyway, I’m not eating with her!”

He Miao laughed coldly and stood up. “That’s just as well. I’ve moved out of the He family a long time ago. In the future, you don’t have to let me know about such big news like your return, grandma.”

“Little b*stard!” Old Madam He was so angry that she picked up the teacup and threw it.

He Miao’s eyes turned cold, and as if she had eyes on the back of her head, she agilely pulled Zhong Fei over and used her as a shield.
