A Delightful Marriage with Twins

Chapter 92: 02. The end of the road (Torturing Chu Tianyi)

“She said that she was given to you by someone, and I didn’t have the nerve to ask in front of sister Yu. What’s going on?” He Yi pretended to ask in surprise.

At least they were about to get married. Since when did he have a beautiful woman by his side (or was it a personal item given to him by someone else)? She had the right to ask what was going on – Was that woman used to make tea or to warm the bed?

“Oh!” Yi Liangze came to a sudden realization and immediately let out a hearty laugh. “Haha, you’re jealous!”

“...” He Yi felt very annoyed. Why did this guy always like to hit the nail on the head when he spoke? Did he not know how to be more reserved and cut people some slack? Even though he was speaking the truth.

That’s right, she was jealous! Like all women in the world, when she saw that her man had such a beautiful little beauty by his side, she naturally could not sleep or eat in peace.

She did not want to show it. However, when a woman was jealous, nothing could hide the sour smell. Of course, it could not be hidden from Yi Liangze, who had a nose that was even sharper than a dog’s!

She puffed up her cheeks and glared at him resentfully. When he was done laughing, she asked, “Do you do human trafficking in private?”

“I don’t!” Yi Liangze waved his hand and carefully recalled Qing Xing’s appearance. “That tea girl is indeed good-looking, but... I use her to make tea, don’t think too much about it.”

Oh, she was indeed used for making tea, not to warm the bed. He Yi sighed lightly, but she wanted to say something but stopped herself.

“Say what you want to say, there’s no need to hide your true feelings in front of me.” Yi Liangze encouraged her with a warm smile on his handsome face.

He Yi’s initially confused heart suddenly calmed down. She was sure that he treated her as usual. From the moment they met until now, this man had always maintained a strange passion and affection for her. She did not know if he had been like this since the moment he knew that she was Baby’s biological mother, or if he had always been like this.

Since he encouraged her so much, she might as well tell him what she thought. “I was thinking of inviting a tea boy to make tea for me one day. I guess it would be interesting.”

After saying that, she looked up at Yi Liangze, ready to admire his angry or embarrassed look.

Sure enough, the man’s handsome face quickly turned from sunny to dark, not hiding his unhappiness at all. “You have such a pastime?”

“The tea girl is trained for men, and the tea goy is trained for women. The same function – pleasing to the eye!” He Yi curved the corners of her lips.

Yi Liangze put both of his hands in his trouser pockets, and the smile and warmth in his eyes slowly faded. “If you don’t like that tea girl, I’ll get someone to send her away. Wouldn’t it be easier to say it directly? Why do you have to beat around the bush like this?”

“...” He Yi was speechless, but she had nothing to refute.

What was wrong with her? She could say that she was jealous, or she could just ask him to send the tea lady away, because she didn’t like that tea lady wandering around in front of him all day, making her feel very insecure.

But she didn’t directly express her thoughts. Instead, she said that she also wanted to get a tea boy. However, she forgot that this man had a temper!

Last time, he had left because she suspected the relationship between him and Yu Shujun. Although the two soon got back together, that incident still left a deep impression on her – Yi Liangze seemed to be annoyed that she suspected that he was having an affair with another woman!

“I hope you can believe me!” A flicker of impatience flashed across Yi Liangze’s eyes. “I’ve always thought that you’re very confident and won’t be as narrow-minded as an ordinary woman making wild guesses. This is very irritating!”

He Yi stood there, embarrassed to the point of being humiliated. Alright, it was her fault! She was originally an ordinary woman. It was just that the hardships over the years had almost worn out her feelings and passion, so she looked so cold. However, it was this man in front of her who slowly rekindled the emotions that she had locked away for a long time. She was moved by him, which was why she became as vulgar as a worldly woman!

Suspicion, jealousy, worrying about gains and losses... although she carefully suppressed these instinctive emotions of a woman in love, over time, she would always lose sight of one thing and give herself away. She wasn’t a fairy who ate and drank wine, she was a woman who lived on earth!

“First sister Yu, then that tea lady...” Yi Liangze frowned slightly, he looked at He Yi suspiciously. “I spent more time with my secretary, Bai Li, in the company. She’s younger than sister Yu, so her appearance shouldn’t lose out to that tea lady. To be honest, I haven’t looked at that tea lady carefully. I just feel that she’s part of the tea ceremony. Compared to her, I admire Bai Li ten times more. If you want me to send that tea girl away, by the way, do you want to replace Bai Li as well?”

“...” He Yi continued to be disconcerted, her face and ears were red.

Yi Liangze wanted to say something, but when he saw that He Yi was so embarrassed, he stopped. He sighed lightly and took the initiative to pull her into his arms again, his tone much gentler. “It doesn’t matter if you want to send that tea girl away. But I don’t think the problem is with her. He Yi, I think you should believe in me and believe in yourself.”

*

“He Yi, I think you should believe in me and believe in yourself!”

Back in the office, He Yi sat alone on the sofa. She thought about Yi Liangze’s words for a long time and could not help but feel deeply ashamed.

Did two people need one person to constantly satisfy the other person’s requirements to maintain their relationship? The answer was undoubtedly no! Taking an inch and taking a mile is always the eternal truth. When Yi Liangze took a step back, he might take another step back the next time. If he did not take a step back the next time, she would think that he had changed his heart and was tired of her.

This was undoubtedly a very smart man. He seemed to be indifferent and often joked around with her, but he saw many things more clearly and far-sighted than her. His handling of things was undoubtedly far more mature and experienced than hers.

From the incident with Yu Shujun, he had clearly announced to her his bottom line — before he obtained evidence, he would not buy it and would not compromise if she suspected that he was having an affair with another woman based on her imagination.

However, the previous incident was still rather obscure, so both of them compromised and gave up. This incident with the tea girl had once again brought out this problem. Yi Liangze must have seen the lack of confidence in He Yi’s heart, or rather, she was not as indifferent and cold as she appeared on the surface.

She was not even married yet, yet she was already suspicious of this and that. If she did not take action and nip this unhealthy state in the bud, there would be endless trouble in the future. He was right. She only saw Yu Shujun and the tea lady, Qing Xing. Then what about his secretary, Bai Li?

He Yi had seen Bai Li once. With a glance, she was indeed a peerless beauty. Her figure was comparable to miss world, and her facial features were deep and exquisite. She seemed to have mixed-race blood, a standard white-collar beauty.

She did not suspect Bai Li, mainly because she felt that Yi Liangze was a person who had a clear separation between public and private affairs. No matter how beautiful Bai Li was, he would not be moved, mainly because a rabbit would not eat grass near its nest. If he was lustful and did not distinguish between public and private affairs, then he would not have waited unmarried till now for the sake of finding the baby’s biological mother.

This meant that he valued family as well as his career. He would not do anything that would harm the reputation of the group.

She was a little rude after all. Perhaps she was indulged by him and could not bear the slightest bit of offense and discomfort.

He Yi pondered for a long time and finally picked up her phone to call Yi Liangze.

The phone rang five or six times but he did not pick up. He was probably busy otherwise, he would not let her phone ring more than three times. Just as her thoughts were running wild, the phone was finally picked up.

Even though her mind was a little confused, He Yi still knew that this was the first time she had called him and he had not picked up immediately.

“Hello?” The man’s voice was as gentle as ever.

He Yi took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to apologize. “I’m sorry.”

There was a long silence on the phone, and then he heard his sexy and pleasant voice say, “There’s no need to say sorry, as long as you can understand.”

“I know it’s my fault.” He Yi sincerely apologized to him. “We all have our pastimes and careers, so we can only try not to betray each other. Things that don’t cross the line should be respected and understood. Unprincipled accommodation doesn’t bring happiness, it brings destruction!”

Fortunately, Yi Liangze reminded her in time, otherwise, she would have slipped further and further down this crooked path.

“He Yi, it’s not that I don’t want to accommodate you, but... I feel that if you continue like this, you will lose your most precious thing.” Yi Liangze reminded her with a slight heartache. “What I like and admire has always been the confident you!”

*

— What I like and admire has always been the confident you!

This sentence echoed in He Yi’s ears, shocking her.

All this while, she had been surprised by Yi Liangze’s obsession with her. So that was the case! However, no matter how confident a woman was, if she fell in love, she would also be worried about gains and losses!

However, how annoying a woman who was worried about gains and losses was, one only needed to look at Wei Jiameng to know.

He Yi closed her eyes, feeling a chill in her chest. Perhaps, Yi Liangze did not like and admire the real her!

*

Almost overnight, He Yi’s name became famous in Yun City.

The Yi family announced that Baby’s biological mother was He Yi, and He Yi and her ex-husband Chu Tianyi’s daughter, Wan Wan, was the Yi family’s biological child, just like Baby. They were dragon and phoenix twins.

He Yi submitted two claims to the court at the same time: first, she wanted custody of her daughter, and she wanted to attach Wan Wan and Yi Liangze’s DNA test to prove that the child was not related to Chu Tianyi at all; second, she sued Chu Tianyi for the malicious misappropriation of the He’s Company, together with video evidence and two witnesses.

The court accepted these two cases, and before the trial had even started, it had already spread throughout the city.

Because of these few things, He Yi quickly went to the forefront of public opinion, and there were all kinds of comments about her. It was more of a shotgun marriage. The second young master of the Yi family was marrying her just to carry on the family line, and there was not much real emotion.

As if to refute the rumors, various major newspapers and online platforms simultaneously published photos of He Yi and Yi Liangze embracing each other and showing their affection.

The photos were extremely beautiful. Under the setting sun, in the empty factory yard, a passionate couple was embracing each other. One could feel their sweetness and affection through the pictures. Moreover, the photos identified the identity of the couple — the man was the CEO of Kai Kun International Group, Yi Liangze. The woman was He Yi, who had recently received ample public attention.

In the eyes of the people of Yun City, He Yi was like a dark horse that had appeared out of thin air. She was originally the daughter of a bankrupt rich businessman but was abandoned by her ex-husband. She even went to prison for five years. Who would have thought that after she got out of prison, she would quickly turn over a new leaf? Not only did she have both her children, but she also became the future young madam of the Yi Family! Moreover, she aggressively challenged her ex-husband. She asked for the custody of her daughter, and the coveted billions of personal belongings of the Rong Yi Group. At the same time, she was also highly favored by the CEO of Kai Kun Group, Yi Liangze. She was really hot, and no one could compete with her.

Fortunately, Baby and Wan Wan dropped out of school. Otherwise, they definitely will not be able to escape the impact of this huge storm. Yi Liangze and He Yi protected them very well. Though there was a storm outside, the weather was still as beautiful as usual for the children.

He Yi also lived a secluded life, devoting herself to researching the tanning technique of leather with Zhuo Hongzhao.

It had to be said that He Yi’s business was also very successful. After a period of hard work, the production of the leather factory was completely on track. Moreover, the leather she made with the secret recipe of tanning was very successful. It indeed had the advantage of being more flexible and lustrous than ordinary leather.

She checked and accepted the finished leather made with feral pigeon feces. She was very satisfied, then, she said to Zhuo Hongzhao, “If this kind of nitrification can be developed, the price of leather will double. Unfortunately, feral pigeon feces is too scarce!”

Zhuo Hongzhao was not pessimistic about this. “If we find out the substance in feral pigeon feces that makes the leather more pliable and smooth, then we can extract this substance from other places. By then, mass production would be around the corner!”

“This needs to be done through experiments and research.” He Yi said helplessly, “Should we hire professionals in this field?”

Zhuo Hongzhao thought for a moment, then said, “To study these things, one must be at least proficient in leather salting, and also have a Ph.D. or above in physics and chemistry. In addition, one also needs many years of practical experience in salting. It’s useless to only talk about it on paper.”

He Yi sighed. “It’s easier said than done to find such a talent. I’m afraid I can’t find any other person other than Deputy Director Zhuo!”

Sure enough, people liked to be praised. Zhuo Hongzhao laughed happily. He was a little excited. “President He, you’re flattering me. I. . . I’ve only accumulated a little experience after working in this industry for a long time. If you think highly of me, President He, before I hire professional skills, I can do some research on my own and see if I can get some results.”

He Yi expressed her extreme agreement, “All the equipment and materials needed will be purchased by the factory. You just have to focus on your research. In addition, I will get Xueshan to hire a doctoral student in leather and nitrification as soon as possible. But before I hire the right talents, I will help you with your research.”

Zhuo Hongzhao felt a hundred times more confident after receiving He Yi’s high appreciation and encouragement. He immediately said, “I think it’s not difficult to find a substance that can replace pigeon droppings. Give me some time, I will be able to do it!”

The two of them were talking happily and were very confident about the future. At this time, Wei Jiameng came over with a stack of documents.

“He Yi!” Wei Jiameng looked a little panicked as if she was terrified by something.

“What’s Wrong?” He Yi turned around and looked at Wei Jiameng in confusion.

“Is it true?” Wei Jiameng was panting, holding the information in one hand and grabbing He Yi’s wrist with the other.

He Yi was stunned by her question. “Is what true?”

“It’s... It’s the things that are rumored now!” Wei Jiameng looked a little confused, her mind was stuck. “That Baby and Wan Wan are twins? Wan Wan is also Yi Liangze’s daughter? Was your father killed by Chu Tianyi? Did Chu Tianyi’s Rong Yi Group steal most of the capital from the He Group?”

There were too many questions, and they were indeed the hot topics that were spreading all over Yun City.

He Yi glanced at Zhuo Hongzhao. Thankfully, this man didn’t like gossip at all. He only glanced at Wei Jiameng before turning around, as if he disliked this little woman for being too noisy.

He Yi knew that Zhuo Hongzhao hated noisy women the most and didn’t like to gossip. That was why he was able to devote most of his energy and time to his work. This was his strength and also his weakness.

“Shhh! Let’s talk outside. Don’t distract Director Zhuo’s work!” He Yi quickly pulled Wei Jiameng out of the laboratory.

*

Since it wasn’t something that could be explained in a few sentences, He Yi drove Wei Jiameng to a nearby cafe and found a quiet corner to sit down and talk.

“It’s all true!” He Yi went straight to the point.

Wei Jiameng probably couldn’t accept such explosive news, especially after He Yi personally verified it. She stood there in a daze for a long time till the waiter brought her coffee.

After taking a big sip of coffee, Wei Jiameng complained, “He Yi, you don’t treat me as a friend.”

He Yi felt a little strange, “Why do you say that?”

“You didn’t tell me such a big thing!” Wei Jiameng was very sad, feeling that she wasn’t valued. “Am I the last person in the city to know the truth?”

He Yi laughed and corrected her, “That’s not true. I told you a long time ago. You forgot that I called you that night and told you that Baby and Wan Wan are the biological children of Yi Liangze and me”

“Ah?” Wei Jiameng was stunned. After thinking carefully, it seemed to be true. However, “I thought that you were joking with me at that time”

How could there be such a mistake in this world? At that time, she thought that He Yi was making up a joke to comfort her. That’s right, it was a joke, not a lie. She believed that He Yi would never deliberately deceive her, but she could tell some cold humor to comfort her. For example, the story about the twins.

“Oh my God! How could there be such a coincidence? It’s unbelievable!” Wei Jiameng nervously grabbed He Yi’s hand. “He Yi, am I dreaming?”

He Yi pinched her arm considerately.

“Ouch!” Wei Jiameng waved her hand in pain and shouted, “He Yi, at least pinch me a little. I have a grudge against you!”

“If I pinch you a little, you won’t know if it’s a dream or a fantasy!” After she confirmed that she was not dreaming, she took another sip of coffee.

Wei Jiameng rubbed her sore spot for a while and clapped her hands happily. “That’s great! He Yi, at least I don’t have to worry about you taking Wan Wan into the Yi family and being shunned”

He Yi looked at her indifferently, her tone was firm and confident. “Even if Wan Wan was not Yi Liangze’s flesh and blood, I will not let her be disgraced.”

“Yes, yes, I knew you were the hardest to bully.” Wei Jiameng praised He Yi immensely, feeling that there was nothing in this world that she could not handle. “This is great. You and Young Master Yi are a match made in heaven. Both of your children have found their biological parents... uh, but I’m curious. Didn’t you give birth to Wan Wan back then? When did you give birth to Baby?”

He Yi had always been puzzled by this question. “Yi Liangze and I are also investigating this matter. As for the real reason, we have to wait until we find Wang Han to know!”

“Wang Han!” Wei Jiameng widened her eyes and exclaimed again, “Does this matter have anything to do with her?”

“I don’t know either. For the time being, she’s the biggest suspect.” He Yi felt a wave of annoyance at the mention of this topic. “Let’s not talk about this matter for now. In any case, she has been missing for many years.”

Fortunately, she still found Baby and was about to marry Baby’s father. After going around in circles, the family was reunited. Even if she was indifferent, she was still content.

As the two of them were talking, Wei Jiameng’s phone rang. She took it over and took a look. The smile on her face could not be hidden.

“Who called?” He Yi suddenly became alert because she had been there before. Of course, she could see that Wei Jiameng’s smile contained sweet happiness and satisfaction. And this kind of happiness and satisfaction was often because of love.

Wei Jiameng waved her hand, indicating that He Yi should not speak. She picked up the phone. “Hello... Well, I’m having coffee with He Yi... It... then come and pick me up when you get off work.”

When Wei Jiameng hung up the phone, He Yi looked at her seriously and said, “I hope the person who called you is not Fang Yu?”

Things always went in the direction that people were most unwilling to see. Wei Jiameng smiled extremely sweetly, and there was even a hint of pride. “You guessed it right, it’s Fang Yu!”

“...” He Yi bit her lip slightly, and her heart slowly sank.

As expected, Fang Yu still made a move on Wei Jiameng. Looking at Wei Jiameng’s sweet and happy appearance, she knew that Fang Yu had been working hard these days.

“He Yi, I’m so happy!” Wei Jiameng said dreamily, “It feels like I’m dreaming... He’s so gentle to me, he always asks for my opinion on everything, and he even said that I’ve always been his girlfriend and never changed. He was in a bad mood that day because he was reprimanded by Empress Chu. After that, he regretted it and looked for me to apologize...”

Wei Jiameng continued to talk, but He Yi was no longer in the mood to listen. She only knew one thing, and that was that Fang Yu had successfully taken down Wei Jiameng. Moreover, she had drunk enough bewitching soup, and no one could wake her up.

When she finished speaking and did not hear He Yi’s response, Wei Jiameng raised her head and realized that He Yi did not have a smile on her face. She suddenly remembered that He Yi had always vetoed Fang Yu, and she quickly stated her position. “He Yi, you can’t oppose me and Fang Yu being together anymore. I have always supported you and Yi Liangze being together. Even if I did not know that Baby and Wan Wan are your biological children, I still supported them! Now that the two of you have finally succeeded, I am truly happy for both of you! However, you should also wish Fang Yu and me well!”

He Yi knew that no matter what she said, it would be useless. If Fang Yu deliberately tempted Wei Jiameng, Wei Jiameng’s defense index would be almost zero. After thinking for a long time, she seemed to have made up her mind, she said, “I know, at this point, no matter how much I try to persuade you, you won’t listen. But, I can’t watch you fall into a bottomless abyss! Let me ask you again. Why did Fang Yu pursue you? Why did you attract him?”

Wei Jiameng was stunned, but she reacted quickly. “Why did Yi Liangze pursue you? Why did he...” She couldn’t ask anymore. The answer was obvious – Baby and Wan Wan were He Yi and Yi Liangze’s flesh and blood!

He Yi smiled coldly. “That’s right. I used to wonder why he had a crush on me. Now I understand. It was because of the two children! Jiameng, you should understand that there is no love without a reason in this world! Back then, I was pregnant before marriage. Why did Chu Tianyi insist on marrying me? It wasn’t for love. It was because he had a plot!”

“He Yi,” Wei Jiameng shrank her shoulders and said sadly, “Why are you so pessimistic? Young Master Yi is different from Chu Tianyi!”

“Of course they are different! But from then on, I have immunity to love. Whenever love comes, you have to ask yourself what attracted you to that man. You can only marry him after you figure out the reason!” He Yi didn’t want to face the past, however, to prevent Wei Jiameng from repeating the same mistake, she could only open the wound again. “Chu Tianyi had an unspeakable purpose! He married me, who was pregnant before marriage, in order over the entire He Company. Back then, I was too foolish. I felt that an outstanding man like him had a lot of beautiful unmarried girls chasing after him, but he only had a crush on me. I even foolishly thought that it was some kind of love. Men are very realistic. They can’t do things without benefits. There must be a reason for them to stubbornly pursue a woman. Because I figured out Yi Liangze’s motive, I can now marry him. You haven’t figured out Fang Yu’s motive for pursuing you so you can’t accept him!”

“Don’t say anymore!” Wei Jiameng was about to cry. She didn’t want to look at He Yi anymore. “I thought I could say something happy and share my joy. You’re always such a killjoy! Can’t you let me be happy for a while? Back then, you had the He Corporation and I didn’t have anything. Why would Fang Yu lie to me?”

Not all men lie to women. Maybe they have other motives. For example, Fang Yu was just being young and angry on purpose. The more she warned him not to provoke Wei Jiameng, the crazier he became. But could Wei Jiameng believe this reason?

Wei Jiameng almost bit her lip until it bled. She took out her phone and dialed Fang Yu’s number again. After the call was connected, Fang Yu asked her what was wrong, but she just cried and didn’t speak.

The phone was on speaker, so He Yi could hear it.

“Baby, What’s wrong with you? Why are you crying? Tell me if there’s anything nasty!” Fang Yu comforted her gently.

Wei Jiameng cried in embarrassment for a while, she gathered her courage and asked, “What do you see in me? I’m married, and I have a child, and I don’t have money! Although I’m not ugly, many girls are younger and prettier than me. Why are you pursuing me to be your girlfriend?”

Fang Yu seemed to be a little surprised. “You pursued me first, right?”

“...” Wei Jia was so angry that she could only dry her tears.

“Heh, I’m just joking with you.” The Man’s voice on the phone was very confident. “Of course, it’s because I like you. You’re straightforward, cute, kind, and gentle. I like people like you. Don’t talk about being younger and prettier, and don’t talk about having a family background or wealth. That’s not important. Look at Wen Siling, the dignified third miss of Rui Cheng Group. She’s young and pretty, right? Her family background is illustrious, right? I have a headache whenever I see her. Even if I don’t see her for the rest of my life, I won’t miss her!”

Wei Jiameng, and even He Yi, who was beside her, admired Fang Yu’s eloquence and quick-wittedness. It sounded true!

Wen Siling did not have any of the things that Wei Jiameng was worried about. Moreover, Wen Siling was extremely passionate towards Fang Yu, the kind that could not wait to throw herself into his arms. But when Fang Yu saw Wen Siling, he retreated, not showing the slightest interest.

The main reason was that Fang Yu could not stand Wen Siling’s unruly and willful temper! This seemed to be an open and aboveboard reason.

Wei Jiameng undoubtedly accepted Fang Yu’s reason. She looked at He Yi as if asking for her opinion – was this explanation reasonable?

He Yi pondered for a long time before saying, “Young Master Fang, I was just discussing you with Jiameng. Although I’ve always doubted your feelings for her, Jiameng firmly believes it. I hope that you won’t let her down!”

Hearing He Yi’s voice, Fang Yu was shocked, but he immediately swore, “I love Jiameng, but I don’t need to prove anything to you. As long as she believes in me, that’s enough!”

After hanging up the phone, Wei Jiameng’s expression returned to normal as she looked at He Yi with joy. She believed that this time, there was no need for her to defend herself. He Yi should have nothing more to say.

He Yi forced a smile, and said, “Anyway, I don’t think that you and Fang Yu will succeed. I don’t believe that you can achieve anything with him. But since you’ve already made your choice, you can only go with it. Whatever you choose, there will be consequences. I still think that the relationship between you and him might end up as a bitter fruit!”

“He Yi!” Wei Jiameng pouted. “If you continue like this, I’m going to get angry!”

Even so, Wei Jiameng still did not get up and leave. Indeed, she was a very soft and loveable woman. Perhaps... thinking of this, He Yi’s heart ached slightly. Fang Yu should at least not hate Wei Jiameng. He should truly like this soft and charming personality.

From Fang Yu’s attitude toward Wen Siling, he should prefer gentle and obedient women.

“Okay, I won’t say anymore!” He Yi smiled and held Wei Jiameng’s hand, exhorting, “In the future when you are with Fang Yu, if he or someone around him bullies you, you must tell me. I will assist you.”

Wei Jiameng listened to He Yi’s words. Of course, she had seen the power of the large group of women around Fang Yu. She immediately nodded. “If they bully me again, I’ll definitely

“...” He Yi didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. This girl was dumb and cute.

She was prepared to be bullied by the people around Fang Yu!

*

Ever since the incident with the photos was made public, there had been no news of Yi Liangze. He Yi believed that this was a sign of his guilty conscience. She also believed that he definitely wouldn’t be able to hold on for long.

Just as she was counting down the time for Yi Liangze to call or come over personally, she received a call from an unfamiliar number.

It was a city number, but it had never been stored. It was on He Yi’s number and not the factory’s office number.

There seemed to be a faint premonition that the person who called this number had some influence.

He Yi picked up the phone and said calmly, “Hello, who is this?”

On the other end of the phone, only a man’s rough breathing could be heard. No one answered.

As if she had a tacit understanding, she called out the other party’s name, “Chu Tianyi!”

She did not know why she was so sure. Just based on the other party’s breathing, she could determine his identity. Was this just because she was familiar with him?

“Wan Wan! Does she stay by your side these days?” Chu Tianyi finally asked. His voice was a little hoarse, probably because he hadn’t rested well these days.

He Yi knew that Chu Tianyi wasn’t having a good time these days. But she didn’t expect him to call her personally!

He used to treat her like a piece of trash and didn’t even want to look at her. Today, he suddenly called her and even asked about Wan Wan’s recent situation. It could be seen that his situation was worse than she had imagined.

In just a short moment, countless thoughts flashed through He Yi’s mind. In the end, she replied indifferently, “She’s pretty good.”

It was just three simple words and there was no intense tone. It was so calm that it was as if she was reminiscing about old times with an old friend.

Chu Tianyi was silent for a long time before he said, “He Yi, you have.”

“Yes,” she did not object and said, “People will change eventually. Didn’t you change too?”

Perhaps, he had never changed. He had always been like this. It was just that she did not know people well.

“It’s been a long time... since we spoke in such a calm manner.” Chu Tianyi’s voice was strangely familiar. It was as if his past and present were unfolding in front of her eyes. He Yi’s nose was dripping with sweat, and her slender fingers that were holding the phone were pinching until her knuckles turned white. “He Yi, I know you hate me.”

“Oh!.” He Yi broke into an incomparably pale smile. In reality, she was still very nervous, far from being as calm as her voice sounded. “If there’s anything you want to say, you can just say it. Let’s save each other’s time. After all, we’re both quite busy.”

“Sending people to my company to be a mole, this kind of thing couldn’t be done by you, right?” Chu Tianyi asked indifferently.

He Yi’s clear eyes flashed with a bright light. “What! Someone caught you?”

“I just want to ask if it was you who did it.” Chu Tianyi said gently.

“You flatter me, I don’t have the ability!” He Yi said curiously, “Besides taking over the He Company, have you done other shameful things?”

Abnormality was a monster! Chu Tianyi suddenly took the initiative to call her. Either he was sure of it, or he was at the end of his rope.

He Yi analyzed that the latter possibility was more likely.

The only person who could force Chu Tianyi to the end of his rope was, of course, Yi Liangze!

Therefore, the displeasure He Yi had amassed over the past few days toward Yi Liangze suddenly lessened a little.

“Of course not!” Chu Tianyi flatly denied and turned to request, “I want to see Wan Wan!”

“Of course not!” He Yi rejected him without hesitation and said with a smile, “You don’t deserve it!”

She could no longer hold it in and could no longer remain calm. When she was first released from prison, she went to Xingyue bay to visit Wan Wan. He listened to Su Anqi’s instigation and mercilessly chased her out. It was unforgettable.

There was another silence on the phone. Chu Tianyi said, “I never thought that Wan Wan’s father would be Yi Liangze! He Yi, if it weren’t for him, you wouldn’t have been able to defeat me!”

If? Maybe! However, there was no such thing as ‘If’ in this world. Even if she won by a fluke, she still won.

“I don’t know what kind of bad luck you have, but judging from your exasperated tone, you’re probably going to fall soon!” He Yi was very happy, but she still restrained her emotions and did not show too much joy. “Tell me, what exactly happened? Can you still hold on until the court date?”

She had planned to fight a protracted lawsuit with him, but now it seemed that he couldn’t hold on anymore. The problem ely more serious than what she knew. Maybe it wasn’t just the economic case, but something even more serious.

Yi Liangze caught hold of something as important as Chu Tianyi, but he kept it to himself and didn’t tell He Yi in advance. Was he afraid that she would be happy too soon, or didn’t believe her at all?

“Yi Liangze didn’t tell you?” Sure enough, Chu Tianyi immediately understood.

“That’s not important. What’s important is what will happen to you? Or maybe you don’t need to wait for the court to pronounce the sentence. You already have the answer in your heart!” He Yi sneered. “You brought this upon yourself!”

Chu Tianyi did not know what was going through her mind. After a long time, he said coldly, “This sentence should also be given to you. Your father’s death was not unjustified. You don’t have to act like you have a deep hatred for me all day long!”

“I won’t argue with you!” He Yi took a deep breath and sneered. “I’ll see you in court!”

After saying that, she hung up the phone fiercely.

Stroking her drum-like chest, He Yi felt as if she was in a dream. Was Chu Tianyi going to vanish? He had already shown his cowardice before the lawsuit even started.

What had Yi Liangze done to make him so unstable? Chu Tianyi was undoubtedly in grave danger but he still wanted to see Wan Wan. Of course, He Yi wouldn’t let him get what he wanted, but she was also worried that he would do something desperate. For example, the assassins of the Cangzhou sect attacked her and Yi Liangze last time.

If he attacked Wan Wan... He Yi reached out her trembling hand, intending to dial Yi Liangze’s cell phone number.

At this moment, her cell phone rang. She turned around and saw that it was Yi Liangze calling her.

As expected, this was telepathy! Just as she was worried, he called her.

He Yi patted her heart and reminded herself not to be too anxious. After surviving so many storms, victory was in sight. It was best not to show any fear.

After picking up the phone, she heard Yi Liangze’s somewhat anxious voice. “Don’t go out for now! I’ve already asked Qi Lin to send people to protect you!”

He Yi smiled slightly, she teased slowly, “I won’t go out even if you didn’t call me. Now the news is all over the place, saying things like ‘The Chu family abandoned their wives in the past, but now they are rich and powerful ladies’, and ‘from a prisoner to a Master’. I am an Internet celebrity now, how can I dare to go out!”

Liangze, listening to her relaxed tone, did not seem to remember Chu Tianyi. He let out a sigh of relief. “I never thought that picture would make such a big uproar!”

He Yi didn’t believe that he didn’t expect it, and she didn’t play charades with him. She directly asked, “That female reporter was arranged by you, right?”

“I didn’t!” Yi Liangze quickly denied it.

“Oh!” He Yi didn’t pursue it, and only instructed, “If it was arranged by you, remember to inform me next time. Don’t keep me in the dark!”
