Chu Qiao knew very well that He Jihong had called in reinforcements. 

This dinner was the Hongmen feast*, it wasn’t just about the divorce, there was also the issue of the house’s ownership. 

*Hongmen feast : banquet set up with the aim of murdering a guest, refers to a famous episode in 206 BC when future Han emperor Liu Bang escaped an attempted murder by his rival Xiang Yu. 

The He family had swallowed their humiliation and remained quiet, all waiting for this moment. 

“Tomorrow is really inconvenient, I have to take the two children to register at the school.” Chu Qiao said with a smile. 

“Registration is during the day, we’re having dinner in the evening. Qiao Qiao, you must come ah. I haven’t seen you in so long, your grandma misses you, and your grandpa often mentions you too!” 

Old Mrs. He’s voice became even more affectionate, with a hint of a playful blame. 

Those who didn’t know would think that she was her biological grandmother, but what they didn’t know was that a month ago, this old lady hadn’t even looked at Chu Qiao directly, as she only glanced at Chu Qiao from the corner of her eye.

“Then I will tell Gu Ye first.” 

Chu Qiao agreed, not out of respect for Old Mrs. He, but to provoke the He family. 

Who made her narrow-minded? After so many years of grievance, Old Mrs. He’s jade bracelet alone was not enough to compensate her. 

Old Mrs. He converse casually before finally hanging up the phone. 

Her smile immediately faded and became gloomy. She turned to He Jihong, who was crying beside her, and said, “What’s the use of crying? What were you doing before?” 

“Mom, Chu Yuanzhi is completely going to rebel. It’s all instigated by that little b*tch, Chu Yuanzhi wants to divorce me, and Xiao Peng won’t return home either.” He Jihong cried, filled with hatred. 

“Divorce then just divorce, Chu Yuanzhi is such a cowardly person. It’s better to divorce him, what’s there to be reluctant about.” 

Old Mrs. He rolled her eyes, she had never been pleased with this son-in-law before. 

But her grandson Xiao Peng couldn’t be stolen away by that little b*tch. Xiao Peng was so smart and promising, he needed to stay loyal to the He family. 

“I’m already too old for a divorce, it would be too embarrassing.” He Jihong said while feeling uneasy. 

Old Mrs. He sneered, “If you don’t want to divorce, then you need to put down your dignity. Men are meant to be coaxed. Although Chu Yuanzhi was a coward, it doesn’t mean that he has no temper. You keep pressuring him like a long term worker all day long, of course sooner or later he will resist. And Xiao Peng, he is already grown up and has strong self-esteem. You go to Chu Qiao’s house and make a scene, won’t Xiao Peng be ashamed? It will be weird if he really goes back with you!” 

“Mom, it’s all that little b*tch’s fault. She must have bewitched Xiao Peng!” He Jihong angrily responded. 

“It doesn’t matter what methods she used. If she managed to win him over, then it means that her method works. You also need to change your attitude. Xiao Peng is already grown up now, you can’t always suppress him like you always did when he was little. You need to humble yourself and coax him. Chu Qiao is better than you in this regard. She serves him well with delicious food and drink, of course Xiao Peng enjoys it. Can’t you learn a little from that?” 

Old Mrs. He earnestly educated her daughter patiently, but in fact, she felt uneasy in her heart. 

She had never thought that the drag oil bottle* that she didn’t pay attention to in the past would turn out to be so resourceful and scheming. She even married into the Gu family. 

*tuo you ping (拖油瓶) : drag oil bottle ; child of a previous marriage living with the family of the second husband.

Old Mrs. He really regretted not being able to win over that drag oil bottle properly in the past, but now it was still possible. 

Chu Qiao was such a smart person, she should know that having a reliable family background could help her establish a foothold in the Gu family. So she should build a good relationship with the He family, otherwise she would be abandoned by Gu Ye. 

“Mom, Chu Yuanzhi won’t really divorce me, right?” He Jihong asked, she felt more and more uneasy. 

Old Mrs. He glared angrily with disappointment, she felt even more frustrated. 

Her daughter was not good, and her granddaughter was even worse, and the good one was Chu Qiao, who had no blood relationship with the He family, how unreliable! 

Sigh! 

Chu Qiao hung up the phone and continued eating dinner. 

She mentioned that they were invited to the He family’s house for dinner tomorrow, and Chu Yuanzhi immediately shook his head, “I won’t go.”
