Chapter 28
A Matchmaker
However, no matter what outsiders would say, He Jie was still a hero in the He family’s eyes. Even though he was in a vegetative state now, the two children still deeply respected him, especially He Yanfeng. As the eldest son, he was determined to take good care of his mother and sister in his father’s place.
He Yanfeng was under much more pressure than other people his age, which made him even more taciturn.
However, Ming Liuyi’s expression changed, because when she found out that his name was He Yanfeng, she thought his name sounded very familiar. She grew a little flustered, because the more anxious she became, the harder it was to recall why it was familiar.
‘Forget it.’ Ming Liuyi decided not to think about it.
Although the He family’s financial situation was difficult now, it could still be seen that He Jie was very well taken care of. He was dressed neatly, and his face was also clean-shaven. You Lingling looked around and pointed at a wooden shelf on the side, asking, “What is this?”
He Yanfeng was silent for a few seconds before he answered, “This is a shelf I made for my father. I learned how to make it from the Internet. With this, when I’m not at home, my mom can help my dad turn over. It’s more convenient to change the sheets, clean up, and let my dad get some fresh air. ”
Ming Liuyi was touched. Although she also took care of Yao Zizhou every day, most of the time it was the housekeepers who took care of him. She had done very little.
You Lingling’s eyes were also brimming with tears when she heard this. She immediately said, “Head Secretary Huang, let’s give them the money and help them.”
He Yanfeng seemed to feel uneasy and embarrassed to receive help from others for free. He said in a low voice, “Actually, we don’t need the donation. I’ve already decided to go to work after I graduate from high school.”
Ming Liuyi was about to say something when Hong Huajin’s voice came from the kitchen. “The wontons are ready!”
When everyone looked over, He Yanfeng had already set up the table on the other side. Then he took the big bowl from his mother’s hands and placed it on the table.
He Luorong also quickly went to get bowls and chopsticks. Her small hands were not big, so she was very careful.
Huang Jingting, Ming Liuyi, and You Lingling moved some chairs. With everyone bustling about, the atmosphere was not as depressing as before.
“It’s been a long time since we’ve had guests. I’ll use tea to substitute wine, to thank everyone for coming to see my husband!” Hong Huajin’s eyes were slightly red.
Huang Jingting said, “As you know, we all have family members in vegetative states. It’s only right for us to help each other. Don’t be so stressed...”
“But you’ve helped us a lot...” Hong Huajin’s voice was choking up.
You Lingling was the best at changing the mood. Seeing Hong Huajin on the verge of tears, she quickly changed the topic. “I want to try a wonton. Mmm... It’s delicious...”
Following You Lingling’s words, everyone began to eat. Ming Liuyi caught a glimpse of a red spot on the back of He Yanfeng’s hand, and her eyes froze at the sight! She finally remembered who he was!
He Yanfeng would become one of Yao Zizhou’s assistants in the future. In fact, he was more like a capable general. In the original novel, He Yanfeng did not quit school at all because someone sponsored his studies, so he could continue studying in peace. Before he graduated from college, he was recommended by his mentor to work on a project at the Yao Corporation because of his outstanding ability. As soon as he graduated, he immediately became the chief architect of the Yao Corporation’s construction industry.
But this was not the main point. The main point was that the ones who sponsored him was none other than the Cai family.
Because of this, when He Yanfeng spoke up for Cai Rixi in front of Yao Zizhou, Yao Zizhou’s good impression of Cai Rixi increased greatly, and he hated Original Ming Liuyi even more!
Thinking of this, Ming Liuyi had to be the first to sponsor He Yanfeng. Although she did not want to argue with the female lead, Cai Rixi, she had to ensure her own survival. She could not lose He Yanfeng’s assistance.
Ming Liuyi did not expect that her visit today would bring such a pleasant surprise. However, she still had to remain calm. Given the He family’s current situation, He Yanfeng would not easily accept help from others. If Ming Liuyi spoke rashly, it would hurt his self-esteem, and it would not be worth it.
Huang Jingting ate a few mouthfuls and put down her chopsticks. She recalled what she had said in the bedroom and said to He Yanfeng, “If your family is in trouble, everyone will help you. It’s just that when you finish college and have the ability, you can still come and help others, just like what we’re doing.”
He Yanfeng shook his head. “I’ll pay it back to the foundation. I’ll call is a loan, but I can’t always rely on you.”
Ming Liuyi did have the intention to win He Yanfeng over, but seeing him so straight-backed and stubborn, she could not help but feel a little distressed. He was still just a child...
