Chapter 838 I Want to Go Back to Ode to Joy, He Minhong's Stubbornness
Zhou Chen was worried that He Minhong would betray him, so he made a special trip to the police station. However, he stayed in the car and did not go in. Unexpectedly, he was right.
Qi Mu had only provoked He Minhong with a few words, mocking her as not being a simple person. He had really underestimated He Minhong.
Unexpectedly, in order to defend herself as a simple person, He Minhong directly betrayed Zhou Chen, revealing that the idea came from Zhou Chen. It can be said that she betrayed Zhou Chen cleanly and decisively, without the slightest hesitation.
This scene left everyone present dumbfounded. Even an ingrate wouldn't be this ungrateful.
These words angered Zhou Chen so much that he declared that if he ever interfered in He Minhong's affairs again, he would be a complete idiot. He then strode away.
Qi Mu also left with a smile. This was the He Minhong he knew; she was still so foolish.
He Minhong's mother looked at He Minhong and asked, "Honghong, Zhou Chen gave us advice to save your father, which is a great help to us."
And then you betrayed him? How could you do such an ungrateful thing? Didn't your parents teach you to be this kind of person?
You can't stand Qi Mu saying a few words to you? He's hurt you so badly, it's no exaggeration to say he's our family's enemy. Why do you care about what an enemy thinks of you?
Now look what's happened—you've offended Zhou Chen. With your personality, you offend people the moment you open your mouth. No wonder the neighbors on the 22nd floor dislike you so much!
Faced with her mother's accusations, He Minhong turned her head away, speechless. She had indeed acted too impulsively and couldn't stand being slandered, which was why she spoke without thinking.
But it's too late to say anything now. Who would have thought that Zhou Chen would actually be at the police station entrance?
Seeing her daughter pretending to be dead and not saying a word again, He Minhong's mother was so angry that she wanted to curse, but fortunately He Minhong's father stopped her.
Seeing his daughter-in-law criticizing his daughter, He Minhong's father protectively said, "Alright, since it has already happened, you two shouldn't argue anymore."
We've already offended Zhou Chen, so what? We won't have any further dealings with him anyway, so we're not afraid of offending him.
Look at how arrogant Zhou Chen was just now. He said that even if we knelt down and begged him, he wouldn't help us. Who does he think he is?
Honghong, now that you've seen through Qi Mu's true colors, let's stay away from him from now on.
"Take this opportunity to go back to our hometown with us. Dad will use his connections to help you find a good job. This Shanghai is too chaotic, with too many temptations. We're never coming here again."
He Minhong's mother was surprised that He's father would say such a thing, and this made her realize what was happening.
If He Minhong can go back to their hometown with them, then whether or not he offends Zhou Chen becomes irrelevant, since they won't have any further contact in the future anyway.
So He Minhong's mother pressed on, saying, "Honghong, I think your father is right. The environment in Shanghai is too complicated. We've run back and forth so many times for your sake. Why don't you come back to our hometown with us?"
"Once you're back in your hometown living with your parents, we can rest easy. With your personality, living in Shanghai is just asking for trouble!"
Faced with his parents' persuasion, He Minhong said without any hesitation, "I'm not going back. I want to go back to Ode to Joy 2202."
He Minhong spoke with absolute confidence, his tone leaving no room for negotiation.
But her parents were dumbfounded. They looked at He Minhong as if she were an idiot, as if asking her if she knew what she was saying.
He Minhong's mother immediately retorted angrily, "Honghong, you just offended Zhou Chen. Do you think you can go back?"
You're an adult now. Can you please stop acting on a whim? Or do you think Xiao Zhu and the others in 2202 would welcome you?
You've already offended everyone on the 22nd floor, so why should they let you go back? Besides, Zhou Chen is the landlord. If they don't want to rent to you, what can you do?
Just like Zhou Chen said, even if we knelt down and begged him, he wouldn't even acknowledge us. Do you really expect Mom and Dad to kneel down to Zhou Chen just to go back?"
He Minhong remained silent. Of course, she didn't want her parents to kneel down and beg Zhou Chen for mercy, but she also didn't want to go back to her hometown. She wanted to stay in Shanghai and develop her career.
Seeing that his daughter was unmoved, He Minhong's father also advised, "Honghong, can't you be a little more mature and stop thinking only about yourself?"
You used to be so stubborn about being with Qi Mu and choosing to stay away from Ode to Joy. Now that Qi Mu is over, you're stubbornly going back to 2202. Why can't you think about us?
You saw Zhou Chen's attitude just now. Do you really want your parents to suffer in front of Zhou Chen because of you?
"Take your father's advice and let's go back to our hometown. We can have good opportunities there too."
Seeing her parents constantly trying to persuade her, He Minhong became angry and retorted, "You always want me to understand you, but why don't you try to understand me?"
"I still vividly remember what happened last time. Because I called the police for distributing flyers, the whole neighborhood knows that I, He Minhong, am pregnant out of wedlock. Many people are pointing fingers at me. How am I supposed to go back home now? Am I going to become a laughingstock?"
It was only then that He Minhong realized how wrong she had been. In order to escape her home and be with Qi Mu, she had actually done something as simple as scattering leaflets out the window.
He Minhong even called the police to accuse her parents of imprisoning her. This action was tantamount to making her premarital pregnancy a public scandal. He Minhong cut off her own way home. Who can she blame for this?
He Minhong's parents didn't know what to say. Who told He Minhong to do such a crazy thing without thinking?
Thinking he had convinced his parents, He Minhong continued, "As for how to get back to 2202, I know what I'm doing. I believe they won't go too far."
You don't need to get involved from here on out. If you have anything to do, go home first. I'll handle my own affairs.
Haha, I really don't know where He Minhong got the confidence to say such things. It's a pity that He Minhong's parents don't believe it at all. They have already seen how unreliable their daughter is. What do you have to say to convince the neighbors of 2202 to accept you?
"Since you're so stubborn, we won't try to persuade you anymore. Why don't you call Zhou Chen and apologize? That way, there'll be room for negotiation, and you won't completely cut off your own escape route."
He Minhong's mother immediately suggested it, and He Minhong thought about it and felt it made a lot of sense.
So he took out his phone and called Zhou Chen, taking the opportunity to apologize and try to mend their relationship.
Unfortunately, Zhou Chen did not answer the call after seeing the caller ID. Since he had already decided to stop interfering in He Minhong's affairs, he could not be soft-hearted no matter what.
Hehe, Zhou Chen had no idea that their relationship had become so strained. He Minhong actually planned to go back to Ode to Joy 2202. Was she taking herself too seriously?
