Siheyuan: Pretend to be a Pig and Eat the Tiger

He Yuzhu was indeed confident. Although the Liu family was a political family, with the retirement of Old Man Liu, they were no longer what they used to be; otherwise, they would not have agreed to the marriage!
Although He Yuzhu is a businessman, he has made friends with a large number of leaders and cultivated a large network of connections over the past 20 years, as well as the power behind Cai Qiuyue.

Otherwise, even if Liu Hua liked Qin Liling, he would not agree to marry her. His first consideration was political influence. Therefore, He Yuzhu did not take the Liu family seriously.
If Liu Hua hadn't been truly outstanding, and if Qin Liling hadn't also taken a liking to him, He Yuzhu would never have agreed to this marriage!

"But won't this have a negative impact on the He family? The Liu family isn't like the people in the old courtyard house!"

Qin Huairu still prioritized the He family, after all, she was He Yuzhu's wife, even without a reputation!
"It's alright. The Liu family doesn't have that much power. On the other hand, with the He family's current strength, they're not afraid of the Liu family at all!"

He Yuzhu patted Qin Huairu's millstone, which made Huairu roll her eyes a few times!
"Okay, I'll have Lingling come over!"

Liu Family
"Lingling, the state-owned enterprise is ready. With your current experience, you'll be a division chief and a manager!"

Old Liu looked at Qin Liling with satisfaction. This granddaughter-in-law truly pleased him. The Liu family was prepared to do everything in its power to cultivate Liu Hua and his wife so that the Liu family could rise to a higher level!

"Grandpa, my dad wants me to work as a project manager at He's Real Estate. I hope to report for duty in a while and gain some experience. Otherwise, I won't be able to hold the position!"

Uncle He just sent her to work as a project manager in a real estate company. She's not even in charge yet, but she's already going to work for a state-owned enterprise. Doesn't that mean she doesn't respect Uncle He?
"Alright, I'll give you six months. You must report for duty after six months. You can't waste your time on the He Group, understand?"

Old Master Liu was also helpless. He Yuzhu's status in the eyes of those above was becoming more and more important, and it was no longer something that the Liu family could control!

In other words, there was nothing He Yuzhu could do if he didn't cooperate; after all, his three sons were all disappointing. If it weren't for Liu Hua, the Liu family would probably have completely declined.

"Okay, Grandpa!"

Qin Liling smiled slightly. She had to go to the state-owned enterprise. She used to think about repaying a debt of gratitude, but now that she was a member of the He family, she naturally had to prioritize the interests of the He family!

Old Liu could never have imagined what Qin Liling was thinking. Of course, if Qin Liling did well, it would bring countless benefits to the Liu family, but Qin Liling's biggest thought was to protect!
The next day, Qin Liling arrived early at the first branch of He's Restaurant, where Qin Huairu worked. Qin Huairu had been managing He's Restaurant for years; it was where He Yuzhu made his fortune. Qin Huairu's talent was limited, therefore…

"Mom, I have something very important to ask you. Will you tell me the truth?"

Qin Liling thought about it all night, and after hesitating for a long time in the morning, she finally mustered up the courage to come over. Her background was involved, so she couldn't be careless!

"Lingling, what happened? Why are you behaving so strangely?"

Qin Huairu looked at her daughter with curiosity. After so many years of mother-daughter relationship, how could she not understand her daughter?

"Mother, am I Uncle He's daughter?" "Of course, all these years, hasn't your Uncle He always raised you like his own daughter? What's wrong with you?"

Qin Huairu was unaware that half of what happened back then had already been revealed, and she looked on with amusement as her daughter asked the same question she had been asking for so many years!

"What I'm asking is, am I Uncle He's biological daughter? Can you tell me?"

Qin Liling knew this was bad for her mother, but it was important to her, and she had to find out the truth!
"Lingling, who told you that?"

Qin Huairu's expression changed drastically. This was a secret buried deep in her heart, which she had only told Cai Qiuyue over the years. But now her daughter was asking, "Who told you?"
Cai Qiuyue? Impossible. After so many years of knowing each other, how could I not know Cai Qiuyue's personality? Since she promised not to say, she naturally wouldn't say it so clearly!
He Yuzhu? That's even more impossible. Judging from her reaction yesterday, her daughter didn't know about this news yet, which means she only found out about it last night!
"Mom, I am a daughter-in-law of the Liu family. As a political family, the Liu family will naturally investigate newcomers thoroughly to prevent any possibility from other families or forces."

This matter was discovered by the Liu family. It's said that because my identity was questionable, the Liu family specifically sought out medical institutions outside of China for testing. Uncle He and I are related as father and son, which means…”

Qin Liling's control over Liu Hua was precise and accurate. After returning to their bedroom, Liu Hua didn't last long before he completely gave in!

"Your mother didn't intend to tell you, but since you already know, I'll tell you about it. Back then..."

Qin Huairu slowly recounted what happened back then. As the story continued, Qin Liling's eyes widened, and she lost all her nervousness, replaced only by curiosity and excitement!

"Mom, according to you, on your wedding night you went to the wrong room and then had sex with Uncle He... and coincidentally, Jia Dongxu was crippled, and you were the only man left, Uncle He? Even a novel wouldn't dare to write something like that!"

Qin Liling's nervousness stemmed from fear—fear that her mother would have an affair after taking a liking to He Yuzhu… Now it seems this was fate's arrangement, and had nothing to do with He Yuzhu's or Qin Huairu's character. No wonder the Liu family…

"Sigh, I'm not afraid to tell you this, but I dare not write it like this in a storybook. However, this really happened to me."
Daughter, don't blame your Uncle He. We had no choice back then. In a time when even holding hands in the street could be condemned, what could we do? There was nothing we could do.
If this gets exposed, your Uncle He and I will be in big trouble, not to mention all those other monsters and demons around!

Qin Huairu wasn't worried about her daughter misunderstanding her; after all these years, her daughter wouldn't abandon her. But He Yuzhu was different. What if Lingling misunderstood...

"Mom, what are you thinking? We grew up back then, how could we not know what happened? Under those circumstances, even if Uncle He wanted to marry you, he couldn't."
Even if you get a divorce, it's impossible. In a society where reputation is more important than property, Uncle He won't marry a divorced woman. Even if the higher-ups encourage it, it's still impossible. Therefore, this is simply a fault of the times, not yours!

Qin Liling smiled slightly. When she was a child, she longed to call Uncle He "Dad," but she knew it was impossible. Little did she know, he was her father!
"Alright, Lingling, perfect timing. Your Uncle He wants you to go there. I've already told him about the arrangements for the Liu family!"

Qin Huairu breathed a sigh of relief. That mistake of going to the wrong room years ago had completely changed her fate; otherwise, just thinking about what happened to the Jia family made Qin Huairu shudder! (End of Chapter)
