Walking the Path of a Workaholic in Cliché Novels (QT) Chapter 110

“Dad!” The scumbag dad was startled and knelt down.

What new love or old love, how could it be more important than his inheritance rights? He didn’t care about anything else: “Dad, I didn’t think so. I didn’t expect that she was such a person in private. I really didn’t know.”

“You don’t know? Well, you know now?! I don’t want that woman to continue teaching Tiantong. How can a person with such corrupt morals be qualified to be a teacher? She will only teach bad things to children if she stays in school. And the one who wants to be the young master of the He family should either drop out or transfer to another school.”

Grandpa slapped the armrest and said, “In short, these two people are not allowed to even have their names appear in our house!”

Then Grandpa looked at the original owner’s mother and said, “Don’t worry, Yufeng. We are a family with rules. I won’t let this happen. I’ll ask Chengjue to pour tea for you later and apologize.”

The original owner’s mother looked at He Chengjue, whose face turned pale. She wanted to file for divorce, but after a moment’s hesitation, she decided to wait and see. So she nodded and said, “I will listen to Dad.”

The divorce issue was temporarily put on hold, although An Yinong felt that they would have to divorce sooner or later. Because the original owner’s mother could no longer tolerate the original owner’s father’s philandering. And the original owner’s father, even if he didn’t have a lover named Zhang, would have other lovers like Zhao, Qian, Sun, and Li.

At this time, Grandpa He looked at An Yinong and said, “Tiantong will be sixteen soon, right?”

An Yinong nodded.

“You are already an adult,” Grandpa He looked at his pierced ear. “When you were a child, you were often sick. After asking the master to check it out, he decided to raise you as a girl until you were six years old and go to school. At that time, we were all very worried about you. In a blink of an eye, Tiantong has grown up so much.”

An Yinong smiled embarrassedly.

“By the way, you once told grandpa that you wanted to be a painter?” Looking at his grandson, the serious grandfather changed his expression and became very amiable.

“It’s a cartoonist.”

“Oh, cartoonist, look at grandpa, I’m old and can’t keep up with the times. Since Tiantong wants to draw that cartoon, let’s do this, second brother, isn’t the “Illustrated” magazine publishing house doing poorly recently? Let Tiantong have a try.” Grandpa patted his shoulder.

The second uncle was stunned, his face changed slightly: “Dad, Tiantong is still young, isn’t it inappropriate?”

The expressions of other people also changed slightly.

When the three brothers divided the family property, the eldest inherited the TV station and entertainment industry, the second inherited various publishing houses, and the third inherited the daily newspaper. As for the two daughters, one inherited the family hotel, and the other opened a jewelry store with the help of the family. They did not interfere with each other. But now one of the magazine publishing houses was going to be handed over to the third brother’s family…

Even An Yinong was confused by this sudden big deal: What was going on? He was just sitting here and a magazine company fell from the sky? And drawing comics and running a magazine publishing house didn’t seem to have a direct connection, right?

“I heard that you want to transfer the magazine publishing house to your daughter-in-law’s nephew. Why, you can transfer it to that nephew but not to this nephew?” Grandpa He smiled.

The second uncle and second aunt immediately broke out in a cold sweat: “No, Dad, because this magazine publishing house has been suppressed by the Zhong family, and it is almost unable to continue…”

“Isn’t that a good opportunity for Tiantong to practice? When you were sixteen, I arranged for you to join the family business. Tiantong is almost sixteen, and if he can’t stand up on his own, who can he rely on?”

An Yinong was stunned, and for a moment, he felt that the old man had seen through his disguise.

As soon as Grandpa He finished speaking, He Chengjue, whose head was bleeding, pointed at him and said, “Dad, don’t worry. I’m here for you.”

“You?” Grandpa He almost laughed. “Can I count on you? You’ll still be kneeling here today? Tiantong, people need to go through life in society before they can really become sensible.”

“But I’m not very smart…” An Yinong felt a little depressed when he thought of the original owner.

“What’s the big deal? God loves simple people. At least you know right from wrong better than your father. Grandpa believes in you. Work hard. I’m looking forward to your work.” Grandpa He said meaningfully.

An Yinong kept smiling. He knew that this was not just a gift, but also a test. If he could prove himself, the He family’s attitude towards him would change and they would no longer treat him like an ignorant young master. This was exactly what he needed: being a young master was fun, but being respected by others was more fun than being spoiled.

“Okay, thank you, Grandpa.”

Grandpa He has spoken, and the matter was settled. Second uncle also promised to transfer the property rights to An Yinong tomorrow.

Except for the second uncle and his wife who looked a little unhappy, no one else felt anything. Rather than giving his nephew a chance to practice, they were more willing to believe that this was a warning from Grandpa He to the couple through Tiantong. After all, He Tiantong had been judged to be “not smart” since he was a child. What kind of publishing house could he manage?

“You’re going to kill me.”

On the way back, He Chengjue, who was sitting in the back seat, covered his head and kept crying in pain.

An Yinong beside him said heartlessly: “You can do it, but I can’t say it? Don’t you want to give birth to a smart child so that you can kick me out early? I don’t need you to sweep me out the door, I will get out quickly by myself.”

Hearing his son say this, He Chengjue’s anger receded and he muttered timidly, “When did I say such a thing? She lied to you, and I was also deceived.”

“I don’t believe it. She will definitely call you and cry, saying that I embarrassed her and humiliated her in class. She is always like this. She has planned it so that you will completely abandon me. Compared with your lover, who am I? I am just a failure!”

He Chengjue didn’t even care about his headache, and hurriedly comforted her: “No, I’m not stupid, she and I were just playing around. I was deceived before, if I knew she was such a vicious woman in private, how could I associate with her?”

“Who knows if what you said is true or not?” An Yinong still had a dark face. He was not worried at all that what he said would be proven to be a lie, because it was all true, it was just that it was going to happen in the future, and he said it in advance.

In fact, he was not in a bad mood at that time. Now that the obstacles in the family had been resolved and the original owner’s scumbag father had been taught a lesson, the original owner’s anger had dissipated a lot. The original owner’s grandfather had spoken. Unless something unexpected happens, that woman would never be Mrs. He again, and she could not use the name of “stepmother” to interfere with his normal life. I wonder if she will be in a good mood after knowing this?

“I really didn’t say such a thing. I didn’t despise you for being stupid. It was that woman who framed me and alienated me from my father and me.” What could He Chengjue do to his spoiled child? He couldn’t bear to beat him. Even if he was willing to beat him, his father would give him another ashtray.

“Heh.” An Yinong turned his head and looked out the window. One was greedy for money and the other was lustful. It’s just a broken pot with a rotten lid. Why did they want to put gold on their faces?

Those things in the plot that were caused by listening to the pillow talk had not happened yet. An Yinong would not take the initiative to retaliate for the things in the plot, but he would not easily forgive this “father”.

It was better to rely on oneself than on others, so it was better for him to be financially independent as soon as possible. As he had a comic magazine publisher and was planning to become a cartoonist, An Yinong seriously considered the possibility of establishing himself in this industry. After the property rights were transferred tomorrow, he will hire a professional agent. As a student, it was not convenient for him to manage it directly.

He turned his gaze to his scumbag dad. Although he was not very reliable, he knew more than him. “Dad, after my second uncle gives me the magazine company, can you help me find a professional agent?”

“Okay.” He Chengjue finished speaking and complained, “I heard that this magazine publisher is not very good. Why doesn’t Dad transfer you to a better publisher?”

An Yinong: …It’s good enough to have it, what’s there to choose?

“Do you really want a divorce?” An Yinong asked suddenly.

The original owner’s mother stayed in the old house and did not come over. Although Ms. Zhang could not become his stepmother, the marriage of the original owner’s parents really came to an end. One of them couldn’t control his lower body, and the other one puts all her energy into her career. They both needed a partner who was very tolerant. Divorce was inevitable sooner or later.

“What can we do if we don’t get a divorce? Every day when I come home, the house is cold and emotionless.” He Chengjue snorted. He knew that he had hurt his wife’s heart by being a playboy, but he also had never experienced any setbacks, so he was overly naive and arrogant in the face of life.

“If you must get a divorce, then do it.” An Yinong held his face and looked out the window.

One was looking for a woman who could tolerate his passion, the other was looking for a man who could appreciate her career.

“Hey,” He Chengjue felt something was wrong with his behavior. “Your mom and I are getting a divorce. Don’t you feel anything?”

“You are all adults now. You know what you want to do and what I want to stop. If being together makes you unhappy, then don’t force yourself to be together.”

Since he filed for divorce, everyone has been against it, accusing him of being a playboy and irresponsible and unable to keep his wife. Only his son was so understanding. He Chengjue was a little embarrassed: “I’m sorry, I listened to others and thought you were a bad student. I often criticized you. I won’t do that again in the future. I will never marry someone you don’t like.”

“Haha.” An Yinong smiled. No matter what you say, I believe I am stupid.

“By the way, Tiantong, your grades are not good. I’ll find someone to tutor you.”

“Beautiful tutor?”

The original owner’s father was a repeat offender. Last time, he said he was looking for a tutor, but he ended up finding a bad one. Within two days, they were in the same bed, and the original owner’s tutoring also came to nothing.

From this perspective, the original owner’s mother divorced too late. Fortunately, they had been separated for several years and should not have been involved in any dirty business.

He Chengjue’s face turned red. “That time it was an accident. This time it must be a serious teacher. Ah, is your pocket money enough recently? I’ll give you some more.”

Here it comes again. Once he felt guilty, he gave things desperately. In my memory, the scumbag father had always been like this to the original owner. He never hesitated to give money and resources, but rarely spent time with the original owner, so that his various parent-teacher meetings were handled by the housekeeper or company assistant.

The original owner’s mother was no better in this regard. She performed outside twenty-five days a month, and the children at home were basically raised by the housekeeper and nanny. It seemed that as parents, all they needed was a hug before going out and some money on a regular basis.

This might be the reason why the original owner was so easily deceived by the scumbag – he received too little emotional return from his family.

“After jumping around for most of the story, the duo who couldn’t be killed no matter how hard they were beaten, are they finished just like that?” The system finally reacted. If the aunt and nephew were poisonous snakes, then the host was arsenic! No, he was like the extremely toxic paraquat and dichlorvos.

“What else? Shouldn’t we deal with the evil in the heart of a villain when it is at its weakest, instead of waiting for it to grow stronger?” An Yinong laughed at the stupidity of the system in his heart. Now he had an absolute advantage. If he didn’t use this advantage now, when will he use it?

He didn’t want to get involved in the affairs of his scumbag father and Miss Zhang. Whether his scumbag father gives him a house or money, those are his things. He can give them to him or not. But does he want to take over his stepmother’s position and suppress him?

No. Now there was only one troublesome character left, Wen Long, a product unique to Hong Kong in this era—a domineering young master.

Of course, Xie Jiu was still alive at this moment, and Wen Long was just an adopted son who was lucky enough to be adopted, with nothing in his hands. If he wanted to protect his sweetheart, he had to go around in circles to get a substitute protection shield.

“After they are kicked out of school in a few days, Zhang Ming will probably go to his brother Long to cry and complain. Then this guy will come back to find the original owner…” Annoying.

Fortunately, he and the original owner had not had particularly deep contact at this time, so it was easy to break off the relationship. Alas, it was still not safe. Wen Long knows that he was from the He family, how could he not be tempted?

An Yinong suddenly wanted to learn shooting, and it would be better if he could get a gun. In this era, the underworld forces were rampant, and the police at that time could not be trusted. The Independent Commission Against Corruption had just been established, and there was a lot of chaos with black and white mixed together.

The group returned home. They had eaten at the old house and now wanted to go back and have a good rest.

Granny Lian came over and said, “Oh, by the way, sir, a Ms. Zhang just called and asked you to call her back when you have time.”

He Chengjue, who was going upstairs, froze in his tracks, not daring to look back at his son’s expression.

“Dad, aren’t you going to reply?” An Yinong crossed his arms, smiling.

“Why are you replying? How can a teacher with such a bad conduct be allowed to stay and mislead the students? I will report this to the school tomorrow.” He Chengjue sounded righteous as he spoke.

An Yinong didn’t want to comment, but just reminded him: “Don’t forget to help me find a professional agent. It would be best if he has experience in managing a publishing house. By the way, does that publishing house have its own printing plant?”

Seeing that his son no longer mentioned the topic of ‘Teacher Zhang’, He Chengjue breathed a sigh of relief: “Yes. This magazine used to sell very well, but recently the Zhong family and our family have been competing for business. Many famous cartoonists have been poached by him, so this comic magazine company can’t continue to operate.”

“Is the Zhong family so powerful?”

“What’s so great about it? It’s just a dog raised by Xie Jiu.”

Xie Jiu? The adoptive father of the scumbag? An Yinong remembered the introduction of Xie Jiu in the plot. Although he was in poor health and started from scratch, he had a strong aura. No one dared to say anything until he spoke.

But doesn’t he run a hospital that makes medical equipment? Why was he targeting a publishing house?

“Who is Xie Jiu?” An Yinong asked pretendingly.

“An unscrupulous village boy.” As a second-generation rich man, He Chengjue naturally would not get along with the first-generation rich who have made their fortunes from scratch. However, he still had to admit, “This man is very smart and has a sharp eye. He is not easy to deal with.”

At this time, the phone at home rang again, and the servant came over with the phone: “Sir, Ms. Zhang…”

“What Ms. Zhang, Ms. Wang? I’m going to sleep, don’t disturb me.” He Chengjue was frightened and ran upstairs with his head covered.

“What’s going on?” Granny Lian was confused.

“Oh, he has a headache and some heartache.”
