He Dawei did have some feelings for Li Jinzhi, although with her constant squabbling with his own mother and the pregnancy making her less attractive, at least there was his child in her belly, and Li Jinzhi was willing to lower herself, taking care of him tenderly and attentively.
Upon hearing his father's intent, which was to disregard Li Jinzhi and seize the opportunity to throw her out, he found it unbearable.
"Father! Even though Jinzhi and I haven't gone through with the marriage yet, she's carrying the He Family's child in her belly. How can we not take care of her?"
He Dawei had always been indulged growing up, pampered by his parents, spoiled by his sister, and really had no concept of money.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have let Li Jinzhi manage the store despite his parents' opposition.
