1719 A Maniac Who’s Overprotective Of His Wife
“Got it. I promise I’ll return her to you unscathed.” He Xuyan knew this man’s protective nature.
Lu Heting waited until the three of them boarded the plane before leaving.
This time, Lin Xiruo and He Jiang had already returned.
They asked the three of them to go back together.
He Consortium was one of the eight major consortiums in the United States.
The members of the family were almost all from S Country. It was extremely difficult for such a family to establish themselves in America.
From this, it could be seen how powerful He Consortium was.
On the way, He Xuyan told Su Bei a lot about the family.
Su Bei was in a relaxed mood.
However, Xu Zhiqin’s nervousness could not be dispelled no matter how hard she tried to hide it.
Su Bei tried her best to tell her about the culture and customs of the United States.
Xu Zhiqin became engrossed in listening, and her thoughts were not so scattered anymore.
The plane landed at the airport.
When the three of them got off the plane, a well-dressed middle-aged foreign man walked up to them. “Young Master, Miss, Miss Xu, please get in the car! Old Master and Old Madam are already waiting for the three of you!”
According to He Xuyan, this was the butler of the He family. He was very professional. He came to welcome them and represented the grandeur of He Consortium.
There was a convoy of more than ten Rolls-Royces parked in the parking lot. All of them were in a low-key black color. However, when the cars were lined up together, their logos emitted a cold light under the sun. They still looked indescribably high-profile.
After getting into the car, the convoy went straight to the He family’s house.
The He family’s mansion was located in one of the best prime locations in the city.
The mansion was in the form of an ancient castle. It looked old and new at the same time. It was obvious that they lived here all year round. It was also obvious that they did regular maintenance and renovation work.
The ancient castle was shrouded in lush trees and was faintly discernible. Sunlight shone through the leaves and leaves, leaving dark yellow fragments on the ground.
After the car entered, it stopped at the spot closest to the living hall. Then, they got out of the car and walked down a long corridor to the living room.
Two elderly with white hair were already waiting.
When they heard sounds, they stood up in unison and smiled at the people walking over.
“Grandpa, Grandma!” He Xuyan greeted them first.
The two elders’ eyes turned red. “So, you still know to come back? How long has it been? Why haven’t you come back to visit?”
“Grandpa, Grandma, I came back together with Sister and Zhiqin this time,” He Xuyan said calmly. Although he was as calm as ever, he was a little happy and familiar to be home.
The two elders’ eyes fell on Su Bei and Xu Zhiqin.
Su Bei looked a little similar to Lin Xiruo. One could tell at a glance that she was from the He family.
Knowing how much Lin Xiruo had suffered in order to find Su Bei, the two elders’ eyes naturally turned red again. “It’s good that you’re back!”
Their gazes shifted to Xu Zhiqin. He Xuyan smiled and said, “Zhiqin, this is Grandpa and Grandma.”
“Hello, Grandpa and Grandma He!” Xu Zhiqin greeted.
“Good, good!” Old Master He and Old Madam He nodded at the same time. It was impossible to tell how they felt about Xu Zhiqin.
“Have a seat first!” Old Master He greeted.
The two of them looked at Su Bei and asked many questions. When they heard about the twists and turns she had experienced, their hearts couldn’t help but ache. Their fingers were tightly clenched as they listened to her recount the incidents.
“Lin Shulian is too much! She actually stole a child! Such a woman is really unworthy of being a mother!” Old Madam He slammed the table and said, “Fortunately, you’re back now. Your parents haven’t been looking for you in vain.”
Then, Old Madam He asked about the Lu family and Lu Heting.
They had heard He Jiang and Lin Xiruo mention them before and were already moderately satisfied.
Now that Su Bei was talking about them, the elderly couple was even more satisfied.
“It’s just that he’s been a little busy recently, so he isn’t here yet. He’ll come to visit Grandpa and Grandma in a few days,” Su Bei explained softly.
“It’s fine. It’s right for young people to be busy with their own matters,” Old Master He said with a smile.
As He Jiang and Lin Xiruo had something on at the last minute, Old Master He asked the butler to arrange dinner.
Old Master He and Old Madam He were very kind, and Xu Zhiqin’s nervousness dissipated a lot.
Moreover, the two of them were focused on Su Bei, so Xu Zhiqin did not have to be so tense.
Dinner was also a joyous affair.
After dinner, Old Madam He said to Xu Zhiqin, “Zhiqin, in your country and family, are unmarried women not allowed to stay in their partner’s house?”
He Xuyan was about to speak when Xu Zhiqin reached out and stopped him under the table. “Yes, Grandma He. There are usually such rules.”
“Then I won’t have you stay here. I’ll get the butler to send you to a hotel later. I’ve already made preparations.” She kept smiling and didn’t show anything.
However, these words magnified the uneasiness in Xu Zhiqin’s heart.
He Xuyan frowned unhappily. “Grandma…”
“Are you going to make things difficult for Zhiqin?” Old Madam He’s face darkened. “Didn’t you hear Zhiqin say that that’s the rule of their country and family? If I force her to stay here, what will others say about her?”
He Xuyan did not expect his grandmother to be so domineering. A moment later, his dark eyes had already regained their calmness. “Then I’ll accompany Zhiqin and stay in the hotel.”
Old Madam He did not expect him to be so unyielding. How could a child of her family stay in a hotel?
However, He Xuyan had clearly sensed her attitude toward Xu Zhiqin.
The so-called rules were just an excuse. Old Madam He just didn’t want Zhiqin to stay in their family home.
Su Bei also frowned slightly. At first, she thought that the two elders had no objections, but looking at their current attitude, they probably already had an opinion about Xu Zhiqin.
She suddenly thought of Wei Yuxin. When she was in S Country, Wei Yuxin was humiliated and had no choice but to leave obediently.
She might have come here and said something to the two elders.
Su Bei was a little vexed. She had really miscalculated this time.
Xu Zhiqin clenched her fists. “Xuyan, you should stay at home with Grandpa and Grandma. I can stay alone in the hotel.”
How could He Xuyan let her stay alone?
He picked up his coat and said calmly, “It’s okay. It’s just a matter of staying outside, right? Anyway, it’s just a place to sleep. I can still visit my grandparents during the day.”
Old Madam He’s expression changed, but she was the one who chased him away. She could not bring herself to ask him to stay.
Su Bei said softly, “Grandma, I heard that the security in the country hasn’t been very good recently. It’s not too safe for Big Brother and Zhiqin to stay outside, right?”
