The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Chapter 1228 - 460: The Stingy Dad Arrives (Conclusion) (Part 2)

"I feel ashamed towards Dazhuang, and I know I shouldn’t burden a twenty-year-old woman. I, I adopted you!"

"...The project manager at the construction site didn’t want to compensate, so I took you and Xiao Zhuo to the site every day, to the company to make a fuss, and I even approached the TV station."

"You all know me, I have no shame. For money, I can do anything!"

"It’s all about who’s more willing to go all out. I showed that I was determined to see it through, and that real estate company got scared."

"They compensated me with two hundred thousand, and also arranged a light job for me at the construction site."

"Later, the city’s university was moving to the suburbs, coincidentally near the house Dazhuang bought. So I used Dazhuang’s compensation money to build an extra floor on the building!"

He Tiantian finally got to the main point.

She didn’t continue, but He Zhuo and He Yue understood —

The six-story building in this urban village was originally He Dazhuang’s property, and the money to build it came from the compensation.

So, He Tiantian just said, "This building, this money, doesn’t belong to us father and son, but to Xiao Yue!"

"...I took the savior’s house and spent his compensation money, but I cannot really lose my conscience!"

"Once Xiao Yue turns eighteen, I will transfer this building to her name."

"Most of the savings at home come from renting out over the years, and I have saved it all for Xiao Yue."

After saying this, He Tiantian looked apologetically at He Zhuo.

"Xiao Zhuo, do you know why I’m so frugal? Do you know why, even though we have a building and money, I can’t bear to spend it?"

"Because these things didn’t belong to us in the first place. We’ve lived here for free for so many years, we’ve already taken a big advantage!"

He Zhuo:...

He opened his mouth but found his tongue was terribly dry.

His values told him that his cheap dad’s actions were correct.

One should have a conscience, repay those who saved us, not repay kindness with ingratitude.

But, but reality forced him to have wicked thoughts —

Dad raised He Yue for seventeen years and raised her well. That’s also repaying kindness.

Moreover, dad kept that He Dazhuang’s property, even if there’s no merit, there’s hard work.

Even without a reward, earning a bit of interest would be justified.

Unlike some people, who take over the benefactor’s property, abuse the orphan of the benefactor, and still morally coerce the orphan to work hard for their family in the name of "gratitude."

Compared to these real villains, his cheap dad can be considered conscientious.

If he even returns all the property to its original owner, he would almost be a saint.

They are all ordinary people, selfishness and greed are natural instincts.

In the past, dad always appeared stingy, squeezing every penny out.

But now, facing millions in assets, "he" acts so upright and wholesome.

He Zhuo doesn’t even know how to evaluate it for a while.

He Zhuo’s heart was in turmoil.

And his expression changed constantly.

Seeing He Zhuo’s appearance, He Tiantian deliberately misunderstood, saying, "Xiao Zhuo, you don’t need to worry too much either!"

"Though your dad I don’t have much ability to earn big money, but I know how to save."

"Over the years, my salary and money from collecting scrap, after deducting your siblings’ tuition and living expenses, I’ve still saved some."

"I’m not old yet, I can still work, and I can save money. When you get married, I’ll find a way to gather enough for the down payment for your wedding house!"

Saying this, He Tiantian revealed a pleasing smile.

She seemed to be saying, even without the building in the urban village and those savings, she wouldn’t let her only son be without money for marriage.

He Tiantian portrayed an elderly person with a conscience who knows to be grateful yet caring for her son, vividly.

And she completely washed away the original stinginess of the character, leaving no stain!

Even though He Zhuo felt a bit unwilling, facing such a cheap dad, he couldn’t utter any accusatory words.

At this moment, He Yue finally absorbed everything.

She moved her lips, looked at He Tiantian with a complicated expression, and said in a hoarse voice, "Dad, I, I can’t accept all this for now."

"But, I know, you wouldn’t lie to me. Although you’re not my real father, you’ve treated me like your own daughter all these years."

"Dad, even without blood ties, I’m still the daughter you’ve raised for over ten years, and I’ll take good care of you in the future!"

As for biological parents, He Yue really had no concept.

However, out of kinship, she would visit her real father He Dazhuang’s grave, and would also search for her real mother’s whereabouts.
