In the hospital, He Man, consumed by rage, ignored the doctor's advice and resolutely checked out. It was mainly because she had been humiliated by Chu Beize. Moreover, the next day she was alone in the ward, and no one came to visit her.
After leaving the hospital, He Man didn't return to the Chu family's home but went straight back to the He family's residence.
Just the sight of Chu Beize's repulsive face made her feel as if she would lose ten years of her life. Most importantly, she wanted to figure out what had happened at home. Then she could pour out her grievances to her mother and get her to avenge her.
She would never let that bastard Chu Beize and that nurse in the hospital who had given her a hard time off the hook.
She had called the driver in advance, and he took her to the gate of the He family's mansion.
The atmosphere in the He family's villa was deathly still. Even the servants looked listless.
When they saw her coming back, the guards immediately opened the gate and welcomed her in. The butler then had someone tidy up her room and arranged for He Man to rest there.
After she was settled, He Man lay on the bed comfortably. "Where are my dad and mom? Why haven't I seen them?"
The butler hesitated for a moment and then sighed. "Miss, the master and the mistress didn't come back last night."
"What?" He Man suddenly sat up. "My dad and mom didn't come back last night. What on earth happened?"
Maybe something really had gone wrong at home.
"We're not quite sure about that, either. And when we called the master and the mistress, the calls couldn't get through. We don't know what's going on," the butler said, shaking his head.
Now that she couldn't reach He Zhenhua or Jiang Pinzhen on the phone, it seemed she could only wait at home for them to come back. Then she would surely find out.
As soon as she got back to the He family's home, He Man felt a bit better. The anger she had felt in the hospital and what Chu Beize had said were almost forgotten. Finally, she even fell asleep.
He Zhenhua finally returned. However, he looked much worse than when he had left. As soon as the butler saw He Zhenhua coming back, he immediately stepped forward. "Master, you're finally back."
He Zhenhua absent - mindedly replied with a grunt and casually asked, "Has the mistress come back?"
"The mistress hasn't come back yet," the butler replied respectfully.
"Okay, I see," He Zhenhua said. Hearing this, his mood sank even further.
"Master," the butler continued, following closely behind him. "The miss just came back."
Hearing this, He Zhenhua immediately stopped. His tone seemed cold. "Who did you say? Who's back?"
The butler thought He Zhenhua hadn't heard clearly, so he repeated, "The miss is back. She had a car accident yesterday and is resting in her room now. Do you want to go and see her?"
He Zhenhua frowned coldly and snorted. "She still dares to come back."
The butler was completely confused. He didn't understand why the master was so cold - hearted. "Master, what's going on?"
He Zhenhua's face darkened. He said word by word, "Drive her out for me. Never let her enter the He family's gate again."
"What? Master, you mean you want to drive the miss out?" the butler was shocked.
He was truly startled this time. Even if He Man had done something wrong, she was still the master's daughter. It was too harsh to drive her out. But now He Zhenhua wanted to expel He Man from the He family. It was simply heartless, especially considering that He Man had just been in a car accident.
"Didn't you hear me? Do I have to say it a second time?" He Zhenhua gave the butler an impatient look.
The butler looked embarrassed and tried to persuade him. "Master, she's the miss. Are you really going to drive her out?"
"From now on, she's no longer my He Zhenhua's daughter, nor is she any miss. I don't want to repeat myself a third time. If you still don't understand, you don't have to come to work tomorrow, either."
He Zhenhua's tone was severe. It seemed he was determined to drive He Man out. No one knew what had happened to make him want to expel the injured He Man.
After saying this, He Zhenhua went to his study. When he reached the stairs, he paused. "When you drive her out, don't bother me. Otherwise, you can all leave, too."
"Yes!" the butler immediately replied respectfully.
No one knew why He Zhenhua seemed so cold - hearted and merciless today, completely different from his usual self.
The butler had been working in the He family for many years, and it was the first time he had seen the master so cruel. However, he supposed the master must have his own reasons.
Sixteen years ago, He Man was brought into the He family. At that time, the butler had a premonition of what might happen in the future. Maybe today it had really come true. He Man had lost her value.
Thinking of this, the butler led some servants to He Man's room.
When they arrived at He Man's room quickly, He Man had just woken up. She was enjoying the servants' service, leisurely eating fruit from a plate when the butler rushed in.
He Man immediately frowned.
Not only did the butler barge in without knocking, but he also brought four or five people with him. How could she be happy? After taking a bite of the fruit, she threw the plate aside.
"What are you doing?" He Man's tone was sharp and haughty. "Who allowed you to come in without knocking?"
The butler just said coldly, "Miss, I'm sorry."
He Man glanced at him and asked, "Is my dad back? I want to see him."
Saying that, she was about to get up, but the butler still said coldly, "The master has given the order to ask the miss to leave. From now on, you're no longer a member of the He family."
They were going to drive her out and said she was no longer part of the He family. He Man immediately exploded. "Why? Who do you think you are to drive me out? Although I'm married, I'm still a member of the He family. Who dares to touch me?"
"Then, miss, we have to offend you. Come on, take all the miss's things out," the butler said. After that, he stepped back and coldly watched as the servants quickly packed up her things.
He Man stared at them in disbelief with her eyes wide open. Watching the servants take away her things bit by bit, she wondered if they were really serious this time.
Seeing her things being taken away, He Man got emotional and screamed, "No, you can't touch my things. Where's my mom? I want to see her. You can't drive me away."
At this moment, He Man finally knew what helplessness was.
But all she could do was watch. She still had wounds on her body, and even the slightest movement would cause excruciating pain. However, the servants mercilessly pulled her up from the bed and dragged her out of the villa.
When going downstairs, He Man held on tightly to the stair railing with all her might and refused to let go. She shouted, "Dad, what did I do wrong that you want to drive me away? How could you treat me like this? I'll change. Please don't drive me away."
The servants tried hard but couldn't pull He Man off. She seemed to be stuck to the railing.
Taking this opportunity, He Man shouted in the direction of the study, "Dad, if you drive me away, mom will be heart - broken when she knows. You must have heard me. Come out and see me. Otherwise, I won't leave."
After she shouted this, the door of He Zhenhua's study suddenly opened. He Zhenhua, wearing casual home clothes, came out with a gloomy face.
Seeing He Zhenhua, He Man's eyes suddenly lit up. "Dad, dad, you're finally out. Quickly tell them not to drive me away."
But after hearing her words, He Zhenhua's face suddenly turned cold, which also shattered the last glimmer of hope in He Man's heart. "Didn't you say you'd leave if you saw me? Well, I'm out now."
His words were like a death sentence for He Man.
He Man stared at He Zhenhua in disbelief. "You... What did you say?"
She couldn't believe that He Zhenhua would treat her like this. It was impossible for him to be so heartless. "Dad, I'm Manman. I'm your daughter."
But no matter how much she shouted, He Zhenhua remained unmoved. He coldly turned around, entered the study, and closed the door.
He Man completely lost her support. Seeing this, the butler immediately told his subordinates to act faster. So several people rushed up, pried He Man's fingers off one by one, and pulled her down the stairs.
He Man, who was still recovering from her injuries, couldn't withstand such rough treatment. She didn't even have the strength to resist, so she was easily dragged out of the gate.
Watching the gate close mercilessly, He Man suddenly came to her senses. She rushed to the gate like a madwoman and watched as the butler and the other servants left without even looking at her.
At this moment, He Man felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar. She was in a daze and couldn't accept that she had been driven out of the He family. She futilely tugged at the iron bars on the gate. "I'm the eldest miss of the He family. You can't treat me like this. Let me in."
Hearing her cries, the butler turned around and looked at He Man.
He Man thought the butler would let her in. Her eyes lit up as she stared at him. "Butler, let me in quickly. My wound has split open, and it hurts so much."
The butler sighed. "Miss, the master has given the order not to let you in."
"Why is this happening?" He Man still didn't know what had happened.
"I'm not sure, either. I advise you to go and find the mistress. Maybe it'll help," the butler said, unable to bear it.
"But I can't find her now, and she doesn't answer my calls."
Just before leaving, the butler left a word, "The Jiang family!"
"You mean the Jiang family?" He Man's hope was rekindled.
"Yes!" the butler reminded her seriously. "If you can get the mistress to come back, maybe the master will let you come back, too."
Xiao Yu was going to take an eight - o'clock flight in the evening. As soon as work was over, Ye Yanxi rushed out of the company and headed straight for the underground parking lot.
