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

260 Uninvited Guest

“How can we do that? I’ll still have to buy a new one.” Jing Yan had heard that Mu Xiao had bought new clothes for his girlfriends a lot, and each of them had hundreds of new clothes during their dating period. If other women had new clothes, his baby would naturally have them too.

He Miao did not pursue this, thinking that it was a matter for the future anyway, so she did not argue with him. After putting her things away, she put on her coat and went out to buy food to fill the refrigerator.

Jing Yan naturally had to go with her, leaving little Onion to look after the house.

The ice and snow on the road had melted. Some people had taken off their cotton-padded clothes, while others were still wrapped in cotton-padded clothes.

At the entrance of the community, He Miao stopped in her tracks and unexpectedly saw someone who should not have been here.

He Feng’s face was dark. He stood beside the black car and stared at her and Jing Yan’s hands. After staring at her for a while, he turned to Jing Yan and forced a smile. “President Jing, can I have a few words with my daughter in private?”

Jing Yan would never make decisions for He Miao, so he lowered his head to ask for her opinion first.

He Miao guessed that what Jing Yan was going to say might be related to the He family’s return celebration party. She nodded at Jing Yan and said, “It’s cold outside. Wait for me in the supermarket.”

Jing Yan pursed his lips and glared at He Feng with an unfriendly expression. He deliberately said in a cold voice that he could hear, “No, I’ll wait for you here. With me here, no one will dare to touch you.”

He Feng’s lips, which had just curved up, became flat again. No one would look good after being threatened by their future son-in-law in public.

However, he was the current president of the Jing family and his daughter was not on the same page as him.

Letting go of Jing Yan’s hand, He Miao put her hand into her pocket. The weather had just warmed up, but it was still a little cold. She could not stand the cold naturally, so she wore thicker clothes than others.

He Feng seemed to have noticed that she was afraid of the cold, so he softened his tone like a father who loved his daughter. He opened the car door for her and said, “Let’s talk in the car. You’ve always been in poor health.”

He Miao turned around and glanced at Jing Yan, then lowered her body and sat in the car.

He Feng nodded slightly at Jing Yan, putting on the airs of an elder. He was not as ingratiating as he used to be.

He knew very well that no matter how much he tried to please Jing Yan, it was useless even if he was willing to clean Jing Yan’s shoes. The real key was still He Miao.

The heater in the car was on. He Miao took her hand out of her pocket and placed it gently on her lap. Her attitude was distant and cold. “What do you want?”

She didn’t even call him father.

He Feng was unhappy but he did not show it. He still remembered the purpose of his visit and said in a deep voice, “I’m sure you know the news that the head of the He family has returned to the country. He’ll be holding a dinner party in his residence in two days.”

“I know.” He Miao nodded, but she did not continue asking questions. Instead, she waited quietly for him to finish.

He Feng paused for a moment. Seeing that she had no intention of taking the initiative to speak, the dissatisfaction in his heart surged. However, he suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice, “In the early years, he and I… I thought that after so many years, he wouldn’t take it to heart. I didn’t think that he would remember it until now. He didn’t even send an invitation to the family for the evening’s banquet.”

The main family had invited all the big families in the city to the party, but He Feng was the only one who was not invited. It was obvious that they were excluded.

He Feng wanted to take advantage of the fact that this matter had not yet spread, and think of a way to get into the list of people who were invited to the party. Otherwise, if he was the only one who did not show up that day, he would not be able to stay in this city anymore.

He Miao understood what he meant, but she pretended not to. She blinked her eyes in confusion and asked, “What kind of conflict has reached this stage?”

He Feng looked up at He Miao’s face awkwardly, his gaze distant for a moment before it returned to impatience. “It’s just something that happened in the past! I know that the He family has let you down in many ways, but you have to help me this time. If I make a scene, it won’t be good. Think about it, you’re going to marry Jing Yan in the future, but if your maternal family is too poor, the elders of the Jing family will look down on you.”

He Miao could not help but want to sneer, but the words she said were pure and innocent. “Jing Yan said that he wouldn’t care about these things. He said that as long as he’s here, I don’t have to worry about anything!”

“How can you believe this?” He Feng put on the look of a father who was worried about his daughter and said, “You can’t trust a man’s words. If he can say that today, he’ll say something else when you get married in the future. Only what you hold in your own hands is the most practical. After all, the He family is your home. There’s no harm in letting your family live a better life! At least in the future, if your company doesn’t develop well, you can still have your family to help you run it!”

So that was his angle here.

She knew that He Feng would know about her movements, so he didn’t come to make trouble for her these days. However, she did not expect that the He family’s appetite was so big. Not only did they take her mother’s dowry and inheritance, but they also wanted her company. They were shameless to the core.
