The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Chapter 826 - 326: The Phoenix Man’s Rebirth (Part 10)_2

No matter what the situation is, it only proves one thing, which is that He Jingtian’s inner strength is truly immense.

Moreover, He Jingtian is merely contemplating, without taking any action.

See, he still brought his real mother to the Provincial City and relied on his own work to support himself and his real mother!

Thinking of this, Su Anqi’s expression softened a lot, and she gently said, "But you still successfully brought your mother to the Provincial City—"

Without abandoning her halfway.

Therefore, even if He Jingtian had bad thoughts, he ultimately chose family and responsibility!

And now, even though he didn’t need to say these things, he still spoke truthfully, clearly showing his honesty.

Suddenly, Su Anqi felt that this version of He Jingtian might not be as perfect as before, yet he possessed another unique charm!

It’s like the difference between a hypocrite and a real scoundrel; neither are good people, but if forced to choose between the two, many would choose the latter.

Everyone has faults and makes mistakes, but the fear is in not admitting mistakes and having no willingness to change.

But He Jingtian is different; he doesn’t deny his selfishness, nor does he pretend, and he is willing to face his mistakes directly!

Su Anqi found herself developing a different feeling for the He Jingtian in front of her.

At this moment, He Jingtian continued, "Speaking of my mother, I have to explain something."

"In reality, even now, I don’t know my mother’s name!"

Su Anqi was shocked. What’s going on? Could there be some hidden story about the He Family’s mother?

"More than twenty years ago, when my dad was almost thirty, he still couldn’t find a wife. Once, he went to the County to work and found a mad and foolish woman near the railway."

He Jingtian continued to reveal his family’s secret.

Su Anqi’s eyes widened, "That woman is your mother? But, but she—" She wasn’t in her right mind, surely she didn’t marry willingly.

Though Su Anqi was pampered by her parents, she wasn’t naive to the ways of the human world.

Some things, some dark sides of human nature, she would learn from news or other people’s rumors.

For example, a young woman who isn’t in her right mind, if not sheltered by family, being alone adrift, could face what kinds of harm, Su Anqi could completely imagine.

She looked at the handsome and young He Jingtian with a complicated expression, she never imagined that He Jingtian’s mother had also suffered these things.

And his father—

Su Anqi didn’t want to curse anyone, but what He Jingtian’s father did certainly wasn’t the act of a gentleman.

Being old and crippled, in normal circumstances unable to find a wife, he set his sights on a mad woman.

What’s more disgusting is that perhaps in Old Crutch He’s eyes, he wasn’t taking advantage but was actually helping someone.

After all, he provided food and clothing to Mrs. He and gave her a home that shielded her from the elements.

Yet he didn’t think about whether his so-called "kindness" was something Mrs. He needed at all.

"My dad, indeed, was wrong in this, even my grandma always watched over my mom, not letting her wander around recklessly."

"It’s not that my dad and grandma were malicious, they were just ignorant, thinking that if the Old He’s family line ended in their hands, they would be the sinners of the Old He’s family!"

"So, even if she was a mad woman, even if her origins were unknown, not even knowing her name, my dad and grandma still forcibly kept my mom at home."

He Jingtian said this not just for self-disclosure, but with another purpose.

"I don’t quite agree with their actions, after all, I’m also a modern young man who had higher education. But before my grandma passed away, she repeatedly exhorted me to definitely have a son to continue the Old He’s family line!"

He Jingtian looked directly into Su Anqi’s eyes, on the surface recounting the past, but his words carried a certain implication: I want to marry a woman willing to give me a son.

Su Anqi stared steadily at He Jingtian, she understood his gaze, and she understood the meaning in his words—

Dear Angel, it’s not that I don’t love you, but I know that someone like you, a delicate city girl, inherently doesn’t agree with the biased custom of preferring sons over daughters.

Moreover, given Su Anqi’s superior family background and her parents’ love, marrying He Jingtian would undoubtedly be marrying down.

As for He Jingtian, he is in a weak position, for him to turn around and demand Su Anqi do this or that, it’s indeed unsuitable.

"Angel, I really like you, truly, my feelings for you are sincere and pure!"

"But I also can’t forget the elders’ exhortations and end the He Family’s line."
