The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Chapter 833 - 328: The Phoenix Man’s Rebirth (Part 12)_3

Today I saw Su Xuezhou, who came to our door, and he understood.

But, even knowing he has an uncle in the USA, He Jingtian was not as overjoyed as most people of this era might be.

These days were the height of the overseas craze, and anyone having overseas connections was practically holding the keys to wealth.

But, at this moment, facing his wealthy American uncle, He Jingtian felt anxious, with cold sweat forming in his palms.

Especially after Su Xuezhou’s question earlier, which almost directly pointed at He Jingtian’s nose, asking, "Tell me, was it your dad who bullied my little sister?"

"And did your dad cause my little sister’s mental illness?"

He Jingtian: ...

He couldn’t say, absolutely couldn’t tell the truth.

Luckily, after his rebirth, he’d often been interviewed by magazines and TV stations recently.

He had "adapted" his family’s story and recounted it many times to outsiders.

A lie told a thousand times becomes the truth, and after telling the story so many times, even He Jingtian believed it.

So, facing Su Xuezhou’s questioning, He Jingtian panicked inside, but maintained a calm expression on his face.

He retold the story he had shared with reporters to Su Xuezhou again, "...When my dad was working in the county, he found my mom by the railroad."

"Mom had already gone mad, didn’t remember who she was, nor where she came from."

"My dad felt sorry for her, so he brought her home. Our family has been traditional Chinese medicine doctors for generations, so my dad wanted to try treating my mom."

"But maybe the trauma my mom suffered was too great, she herself resisted remembering what had happened back then, her condition not only didn’t improve but worsened!"

"In the end, my dad married her and took care of her all this time!"

Although saying this felt a bit against his conscience, He Jingtian was really afraid his uncle would take out his anger on him if he learned the truth.

Although he had many skills and had now established himself in the Provincial City.

But Su Xuezhou had even more influence; he was currently the most valued foreign investor by the investment department, and provincial leaders would even personally meet him.

He Jingtian admitted that he was very selfish, but he didn’t intentionally deceive.

Moreover, his biological father and grandmother had passed away, even if the truth were told, what could Su Xuezhou do, dig up graves and flog corpses?!

Surely not, but Su Xuezhou’s anger needed an outlet, and with half of Old Crutch He’s blood flowing in him, He Jingtian became the target of Su Xuezhou’s anger.

Of course, out of respect for Su Xueqing, Su Xuezhou wouldn’t do anything to He Jingtian.

But complete affection is definitely better than love-hate intertwined.

He Jingtian didn’t want to find himself in an awkward situation.

Also, he told a revised story, not just for himself, but also to comfort his uncle—

Dear, don’t worry, my real mother, your little sister, didn’t have such a bad life in the past.

Maybe not wealthy and noble, but she had a stable home!

Is telling the truth and causing anguish to someone’s family really a good deed?

It’s better to make Su Xuezhou mistakenly believe that although his sister went mad, she didn’t suffer too much and is living well now.

Su Xuezhou himself would feel much better.

Indeed, hearing He Jingtian’s calm recounting of the past, although Su Xuezhou still had doubts, he felt relieved.

Little sister indeed suffered, but thankfully it’s all in the past, and now she and her son are living very well, able to enjoy a peaceful old age!

"...Good, as long as she didn’t suffer!"

Su Xuezhou seemed to have lifted a burden from his heart, smiling with anticipation in his eyes, "Can I, may I see her? I know, she’s ill and can’t be agitated, but I really miss her."

"How about I ask the doctor first? Actually, my mom’s condition has improved a lot now, but I’m still worried she can’t take too much excitement!"

"Good! Good! Ask the doctor first, and then meet!" Su Xuezhou agreed wholeheartedly, finding his nephew considerate.

He’d been back in the country for a few days and had already learned that many young people here envied life abroad immensely.

Towards "foreign investors" and the like, they were particularly polite, even somewhat servile.

Yet his nephew, a twenty-something university student, could remain neither humble nor arrogant in front of him, a foreign investor, which was indeed rare!

Worthy of being the grandson of the Su Family, even with only half the blood, he was excellent and confident.

After a flurry of activity, Su Xuezhou finally met Mrs. He, who was his little sister Su Xueqing.

Perhaps it was the call of familial ties or maybe Su Xueqing really recovered, at the moment she saw Su Xuezhou, she neither had a breakdown nor cried, recalling her memories before she fell ill.

"Brother, you’re back!"

Su Xueqing’s voice was gentle, her demeanor graceful, carrying more maturity and stability than the Su Family’s little princess of the past, yet she exuded a noble aura.

Upon hearing her brother, tears streamed from Su Xuezhou’s eyes...
