Chapter: 2968

He Hong Sheng spoke lightly: "Tonight's lowest temperature is minus 35 degrees."

"Hmph..." Su An Shun said with a grin: "That's still too scary, let's go inside and chat instead. Otherwise, I'll freeze stiff in a minute......"

He Hong Sheng led the way, bringing him to the main hall.

As soon as Su An Shun entered the main hall, he couldn't help but ask: "He Old Master, how come it's still this cold inside? Although Beijing can be quite cold in winter, at least there are warm radiators, and it usually stays around 20-30 degrees Celsius. Is your house really only a few degrees above zero?"

He Hong Sheng smiled and said: "The skills practiced by our family are relatively unique. The colder the temperature, the better. That's why we came to Mò Chéng. This main hall has some warmth, so the temperature stays above zero, just not cold enough for ice to form. If I were to switch to the children's living quarters, there would be no warm air at all, and the temperature usually ranges from minus 10 to 0 degrees Celsius."

"My mom..." Su An Shun shrank his neck, opening his mouth to say: "I'm lucky I'm not a member of your family. Otherwise, I'd have frozen to death......"

He Hong Sheng smiled slightly and said to He Yingquan beside him: "Yingquan, go get an urn of charcoal for An Shun, and also tell someone to turn up the warmth."

"He Yingquan hurriedly said, 'Yes, Father.'"

"Suzhen smiled and appended a sentence: 'Yingquan, you've worked hard!'"

"Because He Yingquan's background wasn't comparable to his father's, he was still very respectful towards Suzhen. He slightly bowed his head and respectfully said, 'Mr. Suzhen doesn't need to be so polite. Please wait for just a moment, and I'll come right away.'"

"He Hongsheng invited Suzhen to sit on the cold wooden chair, but as soon as he sat down, he couldn't help but stand up again, chuckling: 'Ah, Ah Old Master, I'm not sitting down yet until there's charcoal fire. It's too cold, unbearable......'"

"He Hongsheng nodded slightly and said: 'We're not treating you well enough.'"

"Suzhen hurriedly waved his hand: 'No, no, it's just that I came over late in the evening to disturb you, which is too presumptuous...'"

"He Hongsheng didn't continue being polite with him. Instead, he opened his mouth and asked: 'An Shun, don't you know what Old Master has this time let you come here for?'"

"Suzhen hurriedly said: 'Ah Old Master, it's like this. If there were no matters to attend to, the old master would indeed be very remorseful and ashamed. He knows that You have a grudge against him in your heart, so he sent me over to see you and convey his apologies to you and the He family. Additionally, he hopes to be able to reconcile with you and turn enmity into harmony...'"

"He Hongsheng laughed dryly twice and said: 'An Shun, don't trouble yourself to go back and tell Old Master that, in the end, it's just a surname. Although I, He family, raised her as our own person, when she returns to Suzhen's family, she essentially becomes theirs again. Old Master has decided to sacrifice her for Suzhen's family. As an outside uncle, even I can't blame him. So Old Master doesn't need to apologize to me...'"

"He Hongsheng's words were not spoken from the heart."

"He Hongsheng's heart is indeed very fond of Suzhen. However, he knows that he has sacrificed Suzhen for Suzhen's family, and his heart also carries a lot of resentment."

"But he knows that he is far inferior to Suzhen's family in terms of strength and power, so if he were to speak ill of Suzhen's family directly to Su Anshun's face today, it would undoubtedly turn them into enemies. Therefore, he deliberately used the tone that Suzhen is a member of Suzhen's family and he is an outsider, on one hand avoiding offending Suzhen's family directly, and on the other hand subtly expressing his dissatisfaction towards Suzhen's family."

"In fact, someone who can sacrifice their own grandchild like this also has nothing worth him, He Hongsheng, continuing to maintain a relationship with. So it's best for them to part ways amicably from now on and not bother each other again."

"Su Anshun is just as clever, of course, he couldn't help but sense the intention behind He Hongsheng's words."

"However, he still spoke up, saying: 'He Old Master is right, Suzhen being the private daughter of the young master means she must be a bloodline of Suzhen's family. Although this may be so, old father feels deeply remorseful and ashamed towards you and the He family because one half of Suzhen's bloodline comes from the He family...'"

"He Hongsheng felt uneasy, realizing that Su Anshun was unwilling to shift the topic away from Suzhen."

As they spoke, He Hongsheng's eldest son He Yingquan walked in carrying a metal fire pit. Upon hearing this, he burst into joy and immediately placed the fire pit in front of Su Anshun while suppressing his excitement for Su Anshun to continue speaking.

He was eager to know what Su Anshun would offer as compensation to the He family. JrNovels.com
