"Your grandmother doesn't know yet that you took her paintings on your own initiative and gave them to someone else. If she knew..." Father Hai started talking.
"I'm full." Haitong couldn't listen any longer, wiped her mouth, and said to her mother, "Mom, I'm ready to go out."
The mother of the sea looked at her in surprise as she had just eaten a little breakfast. Then she remembered what she was going to do and immediately said, "I'll accompany you..."
She just opened her mouth.
Haitong refused immediately.
"It's enough for me to go alone."
Haimu had a vague feeling in her heart that she wanted more than just to understand Jiusuo, but she didn't have time to think about it.
Hai's father was already irritated by Hai Tong's attitude and was about to lose his temper.
She had no choice but to act as a peacemaker and stop her husband. She had no time to follow him and could only watch Haitong leave the house.
The two heard the door close with a click.
Veins throbbed on Father Hai's forehead. He suppressed his anger and sat down on the sofa. There was worry in his eyes. "Did you hear about the meteor shower last night?"
The meteor shower caused such a big noise last night that of course the sea mother heard about it and nodded.
Father Hai frowned and looked at her: "You said... Is it right for us to disobey Mom and insist on joining the overseas forces?"
Mother Hai reached out and patted his shoulder, more calculating than him, and said softly: "It's not that we don't listen to her, it's that she gave up on our family. If we don't find a new backer, do you have the heart to watch our family and your daughter being bullied outside?"
Father Hai covered his eyes and remained silent.
Hai Mu continued, "Hai Tong has already offended Qiao Nian, and with her unyielding character, she will not let it go easily. She did not even let her own sister go, and her adoptive parents in Raocheng... her younger sister who grew up with her was also sent to prison. Do you think Hai Tong will let us go if we offend her?"
As expected, Hai's father's slightly wavering heart was persuaded again. He pursed his lips, and his expression changed from the initial uneasiness to determination.
Mother Hai swore solemnly: "So we should keep the matter of the calligraphy and painting a secret from mom for now. We will tell her after we get in touch with her."
"Mom's original intention was for the good of our family. If we can prove to her that you and Haitong didn't rely on the Ye family's relationship to get to where you are today, she will naturally understand your painstaking efforts..."
Hai's father was extremely mediocre for most of his life.
Since he was a child, he has been scolded harshly by Mrs. Hai, who hopes her son will become successful. Deep down, he wants to prove himself more than anyone else.
His wife's words touched his heart.
Father Hai's last bit of doubt was dispelled.
Hesitantly, he said to his wife, "I heard that Aina's brother came to Beijing to start a 5G cooperation project with the Qin family in Fzhou. If we want to connect with them, we can invest some money in it..."
Once Mrs. Hai left, the funds in their hands would definitely be restricted, and the old lady had been shrewd and capable since she was young.
Since she has decided to choose a new person to support, she will definitely seize the financial power of the family.
After careful consideration, Hai's father decided to take preemptive action before the old lady returned to the group and withdraw some funds to achieve his own goal.
"But this is very risky. If something goes wrong with the project, my mother might kick us out of the group, and it will also affect the group."
The Hai family’s business is not big, and many projects over the years have been obtained through connections, but in Beijing, connections are not the only way to get things done.
