Chapter 42: Threat
He Miao smiled but did not say anything. After dinner, Li Ming even suggested to her that they go to the movies.
He Miao used family matters as an excuse to politely reject him.
On the way home, she went shopping on her own. She bought a few clothes and a pair of sports shoes for the sports meet that she had promised to participate in. She had dinner before leaving the mall in satisfaction.
It was already dark when she got home. He Miao sensed the heavy atmosphere in the living room the moment she stepped in.
However, what did it have to do with her if something happened to the He family?
He Miao walked toward the stairs without a care, but before she could cross the living room, He Feng called out to her with a serious expression.
A bald little guy was hiding at the corner of the stairs. He ignored the pain in his back and pounced on her leg.
He Miao was afraid that Onion would reopen the wound that had just healed, so she quickly carried the dog in her arms.
However, the little guy in her arms was not obedient. He used his claws to grab the hair on her neck and leaned back slightly, as if he was trying to drag her upstairs.
He Miao did not understand what it meant, so she patted its head to calm it down.
He Feng’s face darkened when he saw the girl and the dog having so much fun and ignoring him. However, he remembered that he would need He Miao’s help for the matter, so he put on a fake smile. “Miaomiao, I need your help with something.”
He Miao raised her head expressionlessly, waiting for him to continue.
Seeing that He Miao did not say a word, He Feng could not help but feel a little angry. However, he had to admit that this daughter of his had changed a lot recently. Not only was she more opinionated, but she had also changed her major on her own accord. Most importantly, she had become more beautiful.
He Feng smiled in satisfaction. “You know, I’m the only one who’s running my company. There’s been a problem with the company’s project recently, so I need some money to help with the company’s turnover. There’s a cocktail party later, so you should go with me.”
This was what he had discussed with his wife and daughter just now. Originally, he wanted to bring He Wei to the cocktail party. He heard that Chairman Zhou’s youngest son would be there as well. That kid was a well-known playboy. If his daughter could win his favor, this difficulty would be solved easily.
He Wei instantly became anxious after hearing this. She pulled He Feng’s arm and acted demure, pushing the task to He Miao.
He Feng had always doted on his daughter, who was doing well in the entertainment industry. He did not have the heart to take advantage of her beauty. After all, He Wei’s looks were one of the best among the new stars in the entertainment industry.
If any negative comments were to spread because of tonight’s small matter, it would affect He Wei’s bright future.
However, He Miao was different. As long as he promised her some benefits, she would definitely agree.
He Feng smiled even more lovingly as he looked at Onion. “Miaomiao, as long as you can help me this time, I’ll buy you anything you want in the future!”
It was just a small cost!
Jing Yan glared at He Feng and bared his teeth. He hurriedly reached out to pull He Miao’s hair, afraid that this woman would go to some stupid cocktail party and drink with other men for this empty check.
He Miao was in pain from its pulling, but she put its paw down without a change in expression. She looked at He Feng, and his tone was as calm as an ancient well, like a pool of still water. “I’m not going.”
“I’m your dad! If I tell you to go, you have to go!” He Feng had completely lost his patience. His daughter’s temper was getting worse by the day. She even dared to disobey him when he was angry. If he did not show some dignity as a father, she would go to heaven in the future.
He Miao raised her head and looked coldly at the man who was lecturing her, her heart growing colder and colder.
Zhong Fei was afraid that the father and daughter would start a fight at this time. If He Miao refused to go no matter what, then her daughter would be in trouble!
She gritted her teeth and gently leaned on He Feng’s shoulder. She bit her lip and advised, “Hubby, why don’t you let me go? After all, this concerns the survival of our family. I don’t have any other abilities, and Weiwei is a public figure. It’s not appropriate for her to attend such an event. I’m willing to suffer for the He family.”
He Feng patted his wife’s hand and comforted her. “You’re my wife. How can I let you lose your face for the family? This kind of thing should be done by the younger generation.”
The gentleness in his eyes disappeared as he looked at He Miao coldly. “If you don’t go, I’ll cut off all your finances immediately!”
