Chapter 814 He Minhong, who had been tricked, finally went to Qi Mu's house.
Even if He Minhong had to call the police, she still wanted to go back to Shanghai to find Qi Mu. Since things had gotten so big, He Minhong's parents just gave in to her and told her to do whatever she wanted.
Sigh, since persuasion had no effect, He Minhong's parents decided to give up. They had worried themselves sick over He Minhong, but He Minhong only became more distrustful of them. What could they do?
Upon returning to Shanghai, He Minhong immediately threw herself into Qi Mu's arms. She told Qi Mu about her ordeal, explaining that she didn't want to leave Shanghai or leave him, but that her parents had drugged her and brought her back.
He Minhong even repeated her parents' analysis of Qi Mu to Qi Mu verbatim, which shows how incredibly stupid she is. He Minhong betrayed her parents so easily.
He Minhong's parents and Qi Mu didn't have a good relationship to begin with, and now you're saying these things. He Minhong really doesn't want his parents and Qi Mu to get along peacefully. Otherwise, why would he say such stupid things?
Ultimately, it all comes down to He Minhong's selfishness. She never considers others, and in order to prove that it wasn't her responsibility, she could only push her parents into it.
Qi Mu frowned immediately. He hadn't expected that He Minhong's parents would actually figure out his thoughts. It seemed that they weren't as foolish as he had imagined.
Fortunately, their daughter He Minhong was foolish enough to return on her own initiative after leaving, which put their minds at ease.
Sigh, I just wonder if He Minhong's stupidity will be passed on to his children?
Qi Mu interrupted his rambling thoughts and began to persuade He Minhong.
“Honghong, I never expected your parents to have such a big misunderstanding about me. They really misunderstood me.”
The reason I didn't mention renting a place to you is because I'm planning to buy a house in Shanghai. Although I'm still a little short of the down payment, I think I can save up enough next year if I work hard.
We work hard in Shanghai, and in the end, isn't it all for the sake of owning our own home?
Instead of paying rent for someone else's place, let's save up and buy our own house. You wouldn't want our children to grow up in a rented apartment, would you?
Qi Mu adopted a delaying tactic, putting it off for a year or two. Whether or not to buy a house then would be up to him. He Minhong was too naive; he had plenty of excuses to fool her.
As expected, He Minhong believed it. It turned out that Qi Mu had his own plans. It wasn't that he didn't want to rent a house, but that he was saving money to buy a house. If you think about it another way, wasn't it also so that his family could live happily in a new house?
It seemed that his parents and he had really misunderstood Qi Mu, and He Minhong immediately began to feel guilty.
Sigh, this girl is hopeless. She believes whatever people say. Why don't I see He Minhong trusting her parents like that?
But that wasn't all. Qi Mu continued to coax He Minhong, saying, "Honghong, as long as our family is together, that's more important than anything else. I will definitely make you happy."
Uncle and Aunt have always said I'm wary of you, and they've always wanted to visit my home, haven't they?
My home may be a little small, but I have nothing to hide from you. I'll pick you up after get off work, and we'll go to my place together.
No, I should say our home, Honghong. I want to tell you that as long as we trust each other, no one can separate us.
Upon hearing Qi Mu say he would take her home, He Minhong immediately nodded, choosing to trust Qi Mu once again.
Qi Mu had no choice but to wait. He felt he couldn't drag it out any longer. If he kept dragging it out, He Minhong would start to have doubts. Did he really want to ruin his image in He Minhong's eyes?
Sometimes excuses can be made, but one's image cannot be damaged, because once He Minhong loses his trust, their relationship will be fractured, and it may not be easy to repair it then.
After get off work, Qi Mu took He Minhong back to his home. To be honest, He Minhong was a little disappointed.
Although her mother had said more than once that Qi Mu's family lived in an old neighborhood, this place was just too old and couldn't be compared to Ode to Joy at all.
Although He Minhong did not show her dissatisfaction, Qi Mu still noticed her furrowed brows.
Qi Mu put his arm around He Minhong's shoulder and made grand promises: "Honghong, although this place is a bit small, I promise you that before our child is born at the end of the year, I will definitely let you live in a big house. Please believe me."
He Minhong naturally chose to believe him. Perhaps the days ahead might be tough, but she still had love. As long as Qi Mu treated her well, she could endure anything.
"Qi Mu, you know I'm not a vain person, so don't put too much pressure on yourself."
I believe in you. I believe you will give me and our child the best life.
Just as the two were whispering sweet nothings to each other, Qi Mu's mentally ill mother came over and asked, "Son, where is my little grandson? Where did you hide him? I haven't seen him all day."
Qi Mu's mother circled around Qi Mu, looking for something, seemingly thinking that her son had hidden her little grandson.
This scene startled He Minhong. Who would have thought that someone would suddenly appear beside him, instantly disrupting the warm atmosphere that had just been there.
He Minhong looked at Qi Mu's mother in disbelief, and even subconsciously wanted to hide, because she had never experienced anything like this before, and this was her first time interacting with a mental patient.
Although He Minhong knew that Qi Mu's mother had mental problems, Qi Mu couldn't possibly hide her grandson on his person, could he? Didn't Qi Mu's mother even have this much common sense?
Seeing He Minhong's attempt to dodge, Qi Mu frowned. He knew he was counting on He Minhong to take care of his mother in the future.
Now He Minhong is actually a little scared and wants to hide. This is not a good sign. If He Minhong is afraid to get close to her mother, how will she take care of her in the future?
“Honghong, this is my mom. She has some dementia. You don’t need to be afraid of her. You can treat her like an eight-year-old child. Sometimes, all you need to do is coax her.”
Qi Mu began to comfort He Minhong, and then started to coax his own mother.
"Mom, your grandson hasn't come home from school yet."
You'll see him when it's time to eat. Let's not make a fuss. I'll go inside with you and wait for him patiently. Your grandson will be angry if he sees you making a scene, and then he won't talk to you.
Hearing the threatening words, Qi Mu's mother shook her head, indicating that she would stop making a fuss and wait for her grandson to come back. Then, Qi Mu led her back to her room.
Qi Mu came out after a short while, after all, there was still He Minhong at home who needed him to coax her.
“We used to have a nanny to take care of my mom, but she should be out buying groceries now and will be back in a little while.”
Don't be afraid of my mom. You'll understand once you get to know her better. She's just like a child.
With a little patience, you can easily win her over. You're so kind and smart; I believe you can do it.
He Minhong nodded. Although she was still a little scared, she didn't want to show her weakness to Qi Mu.
And so He Minhong settled into Qi Mu's house. But the troubles had only just begun. Expecting He Minhong, who had never lifted a finger to do housework, to take care of people was impossible. It could only be said that He Minhong's hard days had just begun.
