Chapter 368: The male protagonist of this soul-swap story is quite rebellious.
[By the way, where did the scene at the end where President He has a hickey on his neck come from?]
[The lady in front was accidentally photographed by the cameraman who was following Ye Feifei. He probably didn't expect President He to suddenly come out of the elevator.]
[Aaaaaaah, I hate it! Why aren't there any cameras in CEO He's room?! What did he and Sister Song do during the time they disappeared? What is there that we can't see?!]
The number of CP (couple) fans continues to grow, with fans going crazy over and obsessing over their pairings.
Then, dissatisfied, they went to the show's official account and begged them to let He Chengyi participate in the variety show, saying that they would die if they couldn't ship the couple, and that if they died, the show would be murderers.
Production team: ...This isn't a dating reality show!
Yun Qing didn't check the situation online and was unaware that the hickeys on He Chengyi's neck had been exposed.
She is now somewhat worried about He Chengyi.
He said he needed to go back to the He family home for some business.
But there wasn't a single good person in the He family, and Yunqing was worried that he would be mistreated if he went back.
Although she had already sent him messages of kisses and hugs to support and comfort him, letting him know that no matter what, she still loved him.
But she still couldn't put her mind at ease, and wished she could take the mop and go back with him.
He Chengyi sat in the car with his eyes closed, resting. He rubbed his phone with his fingertips and suddenly said, "Lin Xu, give Madam a live text message so she won't worry."
"Yes."
Yun Qing was anxiously wielding the spatula with great force, not even noticing that the food was burning.
Her phone suddenly chimed, and she dropped the spatula, turned off the stove, and quickly took out her phone.
[Madam, Mr. He is currently on his way back to the He family home and is in stable condition.]
Yun Qing held her phone and replied to the message.
【Thank you for your hard work, Assistant Lin. Did you bring bodyguards?】
In the car, Lin Xu looked at He Chengyi, "Mr. He, Madam asked if we brought bodyguards?"
He Chengyi: ...I'm not going back to fight.
"Take it."
Lin Xu immediately replied to Yun Qing: 【I brought it.】
Then he turned around and started contacting his bodyguard.
Yun Qing felt slightly relieved. [Assistant Lin, please keep a close eye on him. It's fine for him to hit people, but make sure he doesn't get hit himself.]
She still remembers the time the old witch hit He Chengyi with a bag!
[Rest assured, Madam, I guarantee that Mr. He will not be harmed in the slightest.]
So, the He family, who had been waiting for He Chengyi to arrive, watched as he led the way, followed by a large group of bodyguards, and stormed into the He family's old mansion.
Old Master He's face darkened, and he immediately flew into a rage. "He Chengyi, what are you trying to do by bringing such a large group of people here? Are you planning a rebellion?"
He Chengyi calmly reminded him, "I am now in charge of the He family."
The implication is that if anyone is to rebel, it will be them.
Grandpa He was so angry that his face turned blue. He truly regretted the effort he had put into raising this unfilial grandson.
He Chengyi sat down on the sofa by himself, his posture languid, his eyelids slightly lowered, and his expression looking somewhat weary. "Get to the point. My time is precious, and I don't have time to waste with you."
Lin Xu stood to the side, silently tapping on his phone.
[Madam, Mr. He has arrived at the He family home, and Old Master He is very angry.]
[How can I not infuriate him!]
The thought of He Chengyi being abused by that old man since childhood made Yun Qing furious.
[President He is not in a good mood.] That sense of world-weariness has resurfaced.
Then Lin Xu received a chime emoji, which startled him so much that he almost threw his phone away.
Fortunately, the proprietress quickly followed up with a message: "Show it to him."
Yun Qing didn't send it directly to He Chengyi because she was afraid that she wouldn't understand the situation on the spot and would delay his business. Assistant Lin was on the scene and was a capable person, so he naturally knew to find a suitable opportunity to show it to him.
Assistant Lin breathed a sigh of relief and quickly bent down to hand the phone to He Chengyi.
He Chengyi glanced at it, his brows instantly relaxed, a slight smile appeared on his lips, and he slowly said, "Assistant Lin, you know what to do, right?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xu immediately took a screenshot of the emoji along with the profile picture in front of him, sent it to him, and then deleted the message from his own phone.
He Chengyi was satisfied. He took out his phone and saved the picture, completely ignoring the He family's intentions.
Madam He was the first to lose her temper. Staring at the marks on his neck, she said angrily, "He Chengyi, I don't care if you're messing around with Song Yunqing, but you want to marry her? Let me tell you, I don't agree!"
Yun Qing was originally her most favored daughter-in-law, but after He Chengyi said he would use the He family as betrothal gifts, she began to dislike Yun Qing.
Moreover, Yun Qing even hit her. If a woman like that were married into the family, wouldn't the household be in constant turmoil?
What she wanted was a daughter-in-law who could be controlled and used by her.
Previously, I thought Song Yunqing didn't even know how to fight for her family's assets, and instead went to the entertainment industry to make a living.
Despite being a young lady of the Song family, she didn't know how to leverage the family's power and resources. Instead, she insisted on relying on herself, which ultimately led to her being bullied even by a pretty face without any backing. She was foolish and easily manipulated.
Who knew that after meeting her, she would find that Song Yunqing was not at all the weak and easy to bully she had imagined. She was quick to anger and would start a fight at the drop of a hat, and was obviously very disobedient.
No wonder she gave up being a proper rich heiress and rebelliously ran off to the entertainment industry to sell her smiles!
He Chengyi said "Oh" calmly, "I don't care whether you agree or not."
Mrs. He was so angry that she picked up the cup next to her and wanted to smash it.
The bodyguards He Chengyi brought quickly blocked his way, staring intently at Madam He.
It felt like if Madam He really dared to throw something at them, they would immediately take her down.
He Xuan quickly reached out and pressed down on Madam He, speaking in a gentle and refined manner: "Chengyi, let's talk things out. Marriage is a serious matter, and you should think it through carefully. That Miss Song is not suitable for you."
He Chengyi replied steadily, "That's because you and my mom aren't a perfect match. I sincerely wish you could be husband and wife again in your next life."
He Xuan hated Madam He more than anything in his life. He Cheng also found him so repulsive. Although he held back his anger, his face darkened.
"Enough!" Old Master He glared at He Chengyi and said angrily, "Your engagement to Miss Su is in three days. I've already sent out invitations, and the Song family is also on the invitation list!"
He Chengyi lowered his eyes and chuckled softly, then looked up at him with a gaze so calm it was chilling. "Grandpa, is there nothing left in this world that you cherish?"
Grandpa He's hands trembled with anger. "He Chengyi! I'm your grandfather! What kind of attitude is this? Don't forget that I'm the one..."
Before he could finish speaking, He Chengyi suddenly grabbed the ashtray from the coffee table and smashed it over his head.
The ashtray flew past Grandpa He's head, just inches away, and hit an antique vase placed in the corner.
Madam He couldn't help but scream, "He Chengyi, do you even know how much that vase cost!"
Grandpa He was so frightened that it took him a while to come to his senses. He clutched his chest, turned his head, and almost fainted from anger.
That vase was his favorite; he displayed it outside so that guests could admire it. Now it had been smashed to pieces.
His heart ached so much that his lips trembled uncontrollably, making one worry that he might suddenly have a stroke.
He Xuan said with a stern face, "He Chengyi, don't go too far!"
He Chengyi exudes a calm madness.
He rested his elbows on the sofa armrests, his fingers supporting his temples, and tilted his head to look at them in a relaxed posture.
Her expression was one of simple confusion, yet her eyes held a hint of amusement as she said in a low voice, "Is it that bad? I just accidentally broke a vase. Look how agitated you all are. Anyone who didn't know better would think I was going to drag you all down with me..."
His gaze finally settled slowly on Old Master He. Old Master He, being stared at, felt as if he were being watched by a venomous snake, and a chill ran down his spine.
He even had the illusion that He Chengyi would pounce on him and bite off his neck at any moment.
Lin Xu felt a little scared.
Previously, President He seemed world-weary and didn't care about anything, including his family. So no matter how much trouble the He family caused, they couldn't cross his bottom line.
But now, even dragons have their Achilles' heel.
If any member of the He family dares to touch it, he will truly go insane!
Before He Chengyi could go crazy, Lin Xu quickly shoved his phone in front of him.
"He Chengyi, don't do anything reckless!"
Yun Qing's urgent voice came from the phone.
He Chengyi blinked, all his hostility vanished, and looking at his phone screen, he said aggrievedly, "Qingqing, they bullied me, forced me to get engaged to another woman, and even sent an invitation to the Song family. My father-in-law, mother-in-law, and older sister must have a problem with me now."
Yun Qing quickly reassured him, "No, I'll explain to them."
"I just accidentally broke a vase, I didn't do anything wrong."
Hiding in the bathroom, Yun Qing looked at the aggrieved He Chengyi on her phone screen and comforted him, "I know, you're a good boy. It's okay to break a few things, but you can't kill anyone or hurt yourself, okay?"
He Chengyi glanced at Lin Xu, "Is this how you make up stories about me?"
Lin Xu kept his eyes down, trying to focus on his own thoughts, but he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "What you just did really looked like someone impulsively trying to drag someone down with them!"
He Chengyi: ...Do you think I'm stupid? I'm a married man now! How could I possibly risk my life for you?
