286- Her Unwillingness ( 她不甘心)

The three boys couldn’t help but feel as if time was passing slowly today. When they saw Jing Yun Zhao getting surrounded and criticized by the reporters, they wanted to rush over and push the reporters away from her.

But in reality, the scenes where the hero rescues the princess from danger rarely happens.

Tang Zi Hua already had a faint suspicion that ‘Mrs He’ was He Jia Si’s mother, and his suspicions were further solidified when Wang Xin Fang announced that the true perpetrator was ‘Mrs He’.

This was because he knows about the He Family like the back of his hand.

The He Family were involved in many different industries, which allowed them to influence many areas. However, their skill was mediocre in those industries. As a result, even though the He Family was rich and powerful, they were not considered as part of the 1%, and the only reason people in different industries left some face for them was due to their relationship with the Tang Family.

The He Family was currently being led by someone known as He Ji Li who has a wife called Han Qin and their only daughter was He Jia Si. Currently, the matter of He Jia Si being sent abroad wasn’t a big issue, the real issue was that her ruined reputation would make it hard for her to find someone of equivalent status to marry; the He Family would have to offer a lot of benefits to attract someone of equivalent status with He Jia Si.

The businesses that He Ji Li has now were all passed down from his father; as a result, even though he was a middle-aged man already, he still acted like an immature teenager, hooking up with multiple women despite being married, causing plenty of illegitimate children. All these factors were causing the He Family to to fall short of it’s glory days.

The large number of illegitimate children caused He Jia Si’s worth to depreciate, and to add salt into the wound, He Ji Li’s attitude towards Han Qin was getting more and more terrible, causing Han Qin to vent her accumulated stress and anger towards Jing Yun Zhao.

As for whether He Jia Si was involved in this matter, he himself knows best.

Additionally, with how big this matter has been blown into, he had to inform his grandfather about it.

Truth be told, he’d already recovered mostly from his sickness and he didn’t need to remain in Hua Ning County anymore, but the atmosphere here made him relaxed and Jing Yun Zhao was also his saviour which caused him to be reluctant in leaving. Adding on to the fact that the amount of care and concern his grandfather had shown for Jing Yun Zhao made him question if his grandfather would still support Jing Yun Zhao and cut ties with the He Family even though the He Family and the Tang Family has been in friendly relations for many years.

“Yun Zhao, I’m sorry… this incident could have been caused by me.” Tang Zi Hua apologized.

Jing Yun Zhao squinted her eyes and asked, “You think this is the doing of the He Family?”

“Amongst the people you’ve offended, other than the He Family, I don’t think anybody else has the influence to pressure so many reporters; also I’ve investigated the posters online and found that this incident was blown up so much due to ‘water-armies’1; I don’t think it’s possible to achieve this without connections or money as the amount of people hired was not a small number.” Tang Zi Hua replied honestly.

Jing Yun Zhao giggled and raised her eyebrows before continuing, “So what if it’s the He Family?”

“I’ll tell my grandfather about this incident, but as to how he’ll handle it… even I don’t know. You yourself know that the Tang Family and the He Family are on… friendly terms.” Tang Zi Hua said with difficulty.

But he still admitted the truth regardless.

Saying that the two families were on friendly terms was just a simplified version of their relationship. When examined even further, the two families had the same values and principles and it could be seen as the Tang Family funded a large number of the He Family’s businesses. As a result, although the He Family would meet their ruin in a short amount of time if the Tang Family were to cut off their friendly relations, the Tang Family would also suffer damages, leaving both parties at a disadvantage.

The only difference was that the Tang Family has a strong foundation, at most they’ll lose a large sum of money, but it still wouldn’t be enough to shake the Tang Family’s foundation.

This was why Tang Zi Hua didn’t know what his grandfather would do.

A businessman only focuses on profits, and although Jing Yun Zhao was unique, Tang Zi Hua wasn’t sure if that was enough to convince his grandfather to support Jing Yun Zhao and take the loss…

He himself knows that this type of thinking has harmed many people, adding onto the fact that he was the cause of this incident, shouldn’t the Tang Family seek justice for Jing Yun Zhao? However Tang Zi Fang knew that this was unlikely to happen.

The things that Tang Zi Hua was able to deduce, Jing Yun Zhao herself also knew as she didn’t expect the Tang Family to do anything at all.

Although she can’t crush the He Family with her own power now, sooner or later she’ll be able to! She wouldn’t need to rely on the Tang Family.

Even if the Tang Family acted, they wouldn’t crush the He Family thoroughly and leave them some room to breathe. However the He Family used her biological parents against her, no matter how much she could endure, the He Family crossed a line; she wouldn’t be able to forgive herself if she didn’t crush the He Family.
