A Delightful Marriage with Twins

Chapter 90: 90. A very manly man

She repeatedly checked the wound on Baby’s neck to make sure it was nothing serious. She reminded the child not to do such dangerous things again until Baby nodded his head in agreement. Then, He Yi was finally relieved.

On the way to the Amusement Park, He Yi casually asked, “When will the Amusement Park open?”

Yi Liang answered while driving, “It’s planned to open on the same day as the kindergarten. What name do you think we should call it?”

He Yi was not good at naming. On second thought, the children yearned to go to the Amusement Park, so it was better to let them choose a name they liked.

After consulting Baby and Wan Wan, the two children discussed it and thought that the Amusement Park was very strange, so they named it ‘Strange.’

He Yi added, “That’s a strange children’s paradise, why don’t we call it ‘Strange Paradise.'”

So, Yi Liangze immediately decided on a name, “Well, let’s call it ‘Strange Paradise’. The private kindergarten that we built especially for the children would also be called ‘Strange Paradise’. It’s like an amusement park, a paradise where they grow up!”

Although Yi Liangze kept emphasizing the kindergarten that we built for the children, He Yi was very clear that she didn’t do anything, it was all done by Yi Liangze himself.

“It’s not easy for you to do all this for the children. You’ve worked hard.” He Yi complimented him sincerely.

“This is what a father should do for the children.” Yi Liangze drove with one hand and held He Yi’s delicate hand affectionately. “It’s even harder for you to give birth to two beautiful and cute children for me.”

He Yi was a little shy and whispered in embarrassment, “Don’t let the children see it.”

“Sigh, it’s not a big deal for the children to see it. Which child doesn’t want their parents to be loving and caring? This is to set an example for them in the future. When they look for a partner, they must be infatuated with each other.” Yi Liangze was not offended at all, at the same time, he said, “Oh right, there’s one more thing. I have a childhood friend, the eldest young master of the Wen family, Wen Li’an. He brought his wife and children with him. He wanted to go to our strange paradise to play. Since we have nothing to do today, Can we go together?”

He Yi knew that he must have made an appointment with him and asked for her opinion at the last minute. She could ask him a question back. Could she say no? But she didn’t do that. She knew that there should be a limit to everything. Just because she married him didn’t mean that he should be unprincipled and indulge her.

“Of course. But...” He Yi still voiced her concerns, “I’m a little boring... maybe your friends will find me boring.”

“They won’t. They’re both nice people.” Yi Liangze was very sure. “Young Master Wen is easy-going and has never had any gossip since he got married. His wife is Pei Jie, the sole heir of the Pei Group. She’s a standard well-bred lady, as beautiful as you. The two children, the girl is eight years old and the boy is six years old. When playing with Baby, they both know how to communicate and take care of him.”

He Yi listened carefully. She knew that Yi Liangze was starting to integrate her into his social circle. When the two of them get married, his relatives and friends would naturally introduce them to her one by one.

This sudden marriage was logical because of the children. No matter what happened in the future, at least Yi Liangze’s behavior was positive and serious now.

“If you feel uncomfortable, I can also cancel the date with their family today. After we get married, there will be many opportunities for us to get to know each other.” Yi Liangze asked for her opinion again.

“No need.” He Yi glanced at him gently. He was respectful and considerate to her. She really couldn’t think of anyone who could do better than him. “You’ve already made an appointment with him. It’s best not to cancel it.”

*

When she saw Young Master Wen’s family, He Yi knew Yi Liangze was telling the truth.

Young Master Wen was polite. His wife, Pei Jie, was a standard lady from a wealthy family. The two children were well-educated and soon got together with Baby. When she saw that Wan Wan was not very sociable, her sister, Yu Tong, took the initiative to play with Wan Wan.

The two families of eight were lively and lively. Sure enough, they had a lot of fun.

He Yi learned that after Pei Jie got married, she stayed at home to take care of her husband and children. She no longer interfered with the company’s business.

“Whether it’s the Pei Group’s business or Rui Cheng Group, Li’an is managing them. I’m very relieved. I’ll just sit at home and wait for the dividend.” Pei Jie smiled, her eyes were full of happiness. “I heard that you’re busy developing your father’s company now. Don’t be so busy after you get married. It’s more important to look after your children. Wealth is more important than money.”

Hearing this, He Yi turned back to look at Yi Liangze.

Yi Liangze lowered his head guiltily and stroked Wan Wan’s little head, saying something to her.

“Don’t think too much. It has nothing to do with Young Master Yi. I heard about the two of you from Li’an, and we’re both parents. I’ve been there before, and I know that looking after children is far more important than developing a career. Perhaps everyone has their thoughts, especially in the recent years when women’s rights consciousness awakened, thinking that it’s better to rely on oneself than on others. But this depends on the situation, and we can’t generalize. I believe in Li’an. I chose him, so I believe in him. At least now he hasn’t disappointed me and the children. We’re living very happily. You should also believe in young master Yi. Like Li’an, he’s a very manly man.”

He Yi listened attentively and nodded from time to time. After Pei Jie finished speaking.., she smiled and said, “I know that sister-in-law is doing this out of kindness. I also know the importance of looking after the children. Especially me... I’ve been separated from the children for five years, so I should cherish it and make it up to them. But everyone’s experience is different, so their thoughts are also different. You should have heard that I relied on Chu Tianyi and he seize the He corporation. My father was indirectly killed by him, so till I can avenge my father, I can’t enjoy an easy life like sister-in-law!”

Pei Jie looked at He Yi and nodded approvingly. “You’re a strong woman!”

“I’m not being strong, I’m carrying the responsibility that can’t be shirked.” He Yi walked side by side with Pei Jie, confiding in her. “When I see sister-in-law, I feel like I see another me. The family didn’t change, the husband didn’t betray, and the children all revolved around the young lady beside him. If I had not experienced everything that had happened in the past and married a perfect husband like sister-in-law, I would have been like sister-in-law, gentle, virtuous, graceful, and a happy wife and mother. However, I was destined to have many misfortunes, and I had experienced many complications and tribulations. The things that I had to consider were naturally much heavier.”

Pei Jie nodded her head. Then, she stopped and turned around to say to Yi Liangze, “Young Master Yi, have you heard what He Yi is thinking?”

Yi Liangze was very close to the two of them and seemed to be talking to Wen Li’an. However, when Pei Jie opened her mouth, he immediately looked over and smiled back at He Yi.

There was no need for words. He only smiled faintly, as if everything was in his heart.

After he understood her inner thoughts, he should no longer wish for her to live the life of an ordinary woman, because her experience and life were destined that she could not be ordinary.

After being completely deceived and hurt, she was heavily guarded, and no longer dared to trust anyone. Her efforts were for the responsibility she shouldered, but also for the children. No matter what situation she was in, she had her strength, and she was no longer forced to separate from the children because of anyone, anything, or any difficulty.

It was enough for her to go through an unforgettable painful experience once. She did not want to and could not go through it a second time in her life.

He Yi knew that Yi Liangze was somewhat disappointed. Perhaps he wished that she could be as gentle and transparent as a piece of jade like Pei Jie. She was destined to be like a rose. Her coldness was accompanied by sharp thorns that could be used to defend herself.

*

Everyone thought that Wan Wan was just a puppy raised by Chu Tianyi. This puppy had no status in the Chu family. Similarly, it would not have any status in Chu Tianyi’s heart. Usually, when there was nothing to do, they could play with her. But when it came to vital interests and vital relationships, they would naturally give up without hesitation.

This time, Chu Piaoyun personally went to the Yi family to negotiate for a chance to reconcile. As long as Chu Tianyi gave up the custody of Wan Wan, everything else could be discussed.

But no one expected Chu Tianyi to refuse to give up the custody of Wan Wan. His attitude was unprecedented.

Chu Piaoyun was so angry that she almost fainted. She shouted “Tianyi” a few times, but Chu Tianyi pretended not to hear it. He turned a deaf ear to everyone’s exhortations and left the intensive care unit.

Su Anqi automatically blamed Chu Tianyi’s abnormal behavior on his lingering feelings for He Yi. She cried and threw things. Fortunately, she couldn’t stand up. Otherwise, she would have smashed the entire ward.

Chu Chu and Fang Yuan naturally consoled Su Anqi while Fang Yu sat on the sofa and focused on his phone.

The commotion was all because of that woman named He Yi! He truly admired her ability, but he did not see her doing anything that would cause chaos between the Fang family and the Chu family.

Of course, whether it was the Rong Yi Corporation that was about to be sued by He Yi for stealing the He Corporation, or the Yi family fighting for Wan Wan’s custody, these matters did not have much to do with him.

They were both cousins, but due to Chu Tianyi’s cold personality, Fang Yu’s relationship with him was not as deep as his relationship with Yi Liangze. Hence, regarding the huge earthquake that the Chu family was about to face, his attitude was completely indifferent.

Chu Tianyi had already left in a huff, but the group of women was still causing a ruckus. Fang Yu knew that if he left now, his mother would scold him for being heartless afterward. There was no other way, so he could only continue to stay here and wait for the group of women to stop causing an uproar. Then, he could leave.

Just as he was bored out of his mind, Wei Jiameng sent him a short message. “Where are you?”

Here it comes again! It seemed that women liked to ask this question. Fang Yu didn’t take it seriously. He thought that she was just asking casually and that it was the same as trying to find something to talk about. Since he had nothing to do anyway, he sent her an ordinary reply, “Sigh, don’t mention it. My Cousin’s house is in the middle of an earthquake. I’m at the scene of disaster aid!”

Who knew that after a moment of silence, another message was sent, “You’re in the intensive care unit of the City Central Hospital, right? I know that Su Anqi has been living there. Are you visiting patients?”

Eh, this woman was quite good at making inferences. She wasn’t stupid at all! Fang Yu was amused and replied, “I already said I’m doing disaster aid. I don’t understand.”

Unfortunately, Wei Jiameng didn’t seem to understand his sense of humor. She was only in a hurry to figure out one thing. “You’re there? I’m here too.”

“...” Fang Yu was a little stunned and sent a string of ellipses. What did she mean by she was here too? What was she doing here?

“Today is a special day. I have great news to share with you.” Wei Jimeng sent one message after another. “Come out, I’m outside the ward.”

Fang Yu quickly put his phone in his pocket and pretended not to see it, but he was very speechless in his heart. What was this silly little woman doing? No matter what she was doing, he was not very interested. Moreover, he could not see her at a time like this.

Su Anqi had already broken a cup. She was crawling on the ground picking up glass shards and scratching her wrist to commit suicide. However, the glass shards were too broken. There were almost no glass shards that could cut her wrist. Moreover, Chu Piaoyun had sent Fang Yuan and Chu Chu to constantly convince her. Therefore, there was no need to worry about her safety.

However, it was even more difficult for Fang Yu to leave at this time.

Alright, no one would notice him even if he left quietly during the chaos. However... when he thought of Wei Jiameng, who was waiting outside the door, he felt a little troubled. In the end, he decided to stay here for the time being.

That little woman... When Wei Jiameng was mentioned, Fang Yu could not help but roll his eyes secretly. He was just teasing her at first, but she took it seriously. It was fine if she took it seriously, but instead of waiting for him to pamper her, she dared to take the initiative to come to his door. It was fine if she took the initiative to come to his door, but she was dauntless and chose this time?

He could be sure that if these crazy women in the room caught Wei Jiameng at this time, with their deep hatred for He Yi, they would tear Wei Jiameng into pieces.

Fang Yu hid in the ward and did not go out. He also did not reply to his messages. Wei Jiameng probably left without waiting for a reply. Although this woman was a little silly, she looked rather timid. She probably did not dare to enter the ward to look for him.

Just as he made his conclusion, he heard a soft sound from the door. Then, he saw Wei Jiameng poking her head in.

The intensity of the commotion in the ward scared Wei Jiameng. However, she still bravely waved at Fang Yu. “Come out. I have something important to say to you!”

After shouting once, Fang Yu pretended not to hear her. He did not lift his head or move his buttocks. She shouted again, and Chu Piaoyun heard her.

Chu Piaoyun turned her head and shouted, “Who are you? Who are you here to look for?”

Wei Jiameng was so scared that she almost fell. If Fang Yu had not attracted her like a huge magnet, she would have run away. But she didn’t leave in the end. Like a thief who was caught on the spot, she whispered, “Hi... Auntie... I... I’m Wei Jiameng... Young Master Fang’s girlfriend.”

Chu Piaoyun didn’t care about the first few words, but the last sentence made her eyes widen and she was extremely surprised. “What girlfriend?” As she said that, her sharp gaze turned to her son who appeared indifferent. She was not only angry but also intrigued. “Fang Yu, what is going on?”

A woman was chasing him to this place? This was simply outrageous!

This time, Fang Yu could not even pretend to be stupid. He turned around embarrassedly and said to Wei Jiameng impatiently, “Go away! I’m quite busy now, if you have something to say, we can talk another day!”

Wei Jiameng felt pained when she heard that. Just now, he had sent her a message to joke about disaster aid and seemed to be very free (if he was not free, he would not have replied to her message). Now that she had come to see him, he says he was very busy. Why did this person speak so incoherently?

However, since Fang Yu had spoken, it was not good for her to continue staying here. In addition, Chu Piaoyun’s eyes were filled with disdain and disgust, so she could not stay any longer. She pouted and turned around to leave.

“Wait!” Fang Yuan’s sharp eyes were the first to notice Wei Jiameng. “Wei Jiameng! You come here?”

At the mention of Wei Jiameng, Chu Chu immediately turned her head. Su Anqi did not want to commit suicide anymore and fixed her eyes on Wei Jiameng.

Wei Jiameng felt her hair stand on end under these women’s knife-like gazes. When she realized that things were not looking good, she decided to escape.

“Don’t let her escape!” Fang Yuan immediately reacted and darted over to block Wei Jiameng’s path. “Chu Chu, catch her!”

Thus, Fang Yuan and Chu Chu joined forces to push Wei Jiameng down.

Chu Piaoyun figured out that the woman in front of her was He Yi’s best friend, Wei Jiameng. She was also Wei Jiameng, who ran away in anger after Wen Siling was publicly acknowledged as Fang Yu’s girlfriend. She could not help looking at her again. Her initial disdain and disgust were replaced by shock and disgust. “So you’re Wei Jiameng!”

“Wei Jiameng!” Su Anqi was the first to throw a fit. She used the energy from before to give Wei Jiameng two tight slaps. “What are you doing here? Are you here to gather information for that b*tch, He Yi!”

Wei Jiameng was dizzy from the beating. She covered her burning face with both hands. How could she answer?

“This b*tch is with He Yi. She must be up to no good!” Chu Chu said hatefully and kicked Wei Jiameng. “Tell me, what does He Yi want? Why doesn’t she die?”

“Chu Chu! Stop!” Fang Yu couldn’t stand it anymore and tried to stop her. After all, Wei Jiameng had come looking for him and was being beaten up. “Everyone Stop! No one is allowed to beat anyone up anymore!”

“Big brother, could it be that you’ve been charmed by this B*tch?” Fang Yuan was a little surprised. “He Yi has seduced big Brother Liang, and her best friend has seduced you too. Could it be that these two b*tches are proficient in the art of seduction?”

“Ha, the art of seduction!” Chu Piaoyun was furious. Her beautiful eyes glared coldly at Wei Jiameng as if two ice blades were slicing her. “I heard that you’re the same as He Yi. Both of you have been married before!”

Seeing Fang Yu’s mother’s question, Wei Jiameng didn’t dare to answer. Tears welled up in her eyes. “Today... I got a divorce certificate...” As she said this, tears fell from her eyes.

She had specially looked for Fang Yu today to tell him the good news — she was free!

“You just got a divorce certificate today!” Chu Chu screamed. “What a B*tch! She seduced cousin Fang Yu before the divorce and even angered sister Siling!”

Su Anqi just happened to find a punching bag. She grabbed Wei Jiameng’s hair and started to beat her up violently. “B*tch, who told you to seduce men? I’ll beat you to death! I’ll beat you to death!”

Fang Yu saw that Wei Jiameng was about to be beaten to death by Su Anqi, so he stepped forward to stop her. He grabbed Su Anqi’s wrist. “Stop beating her!”

Wei Jiameng collapsed to the ground. Her cheeks were red, swollen, and full of tears. Her hair was disheveled, and she looked as wretched as she could be.

Fang Yuan and Chu Chu wanted to step forward and kick her again, but they were stopped by Chu Piaoyun. “Forget it, she’s just a B*tch. If you fight with her, you’ll ruin the reputation of the daughters of prestigious families!”

When they heard that it was related to the reputation of the daughters of prestigious families, Chu Chu and Fang Yuan finally stopped (they were still relying on this reputation to get married).

“Wei Jiameng!”Chu Piaoyun looked at her coldly and declared mercilessly, “Don’t even dream about it. You’re not worthy to be Fang Yu’s Woman!”

Wei Jiameng trembled and cried. She did not attempt to argue or even raise her head.

“Let’s go!” Fang Yu quickly pulled Wei Jiameng up and dragged her out. He was afraid that if this continued, she would lose her life.

“Hmph, B*tch, it’s too easy for her!” Su Anqi spat in anger.

Fang Yuan clicked her fingers and said nonchalantly, “She’s just a small fry. What’s the point of beating her to death? He Yi is still as confident as ever!”

The more Chu Chu thought about it, the angrier she got. She said to Chu Piaoyun, “Aunt, you have to be careful. You must not allow this B*tch to confuse cousin again!”

Chu Piaoyun laughed coldly and said arrogantly and confidently, “Your Cousin has listened to me since he was young. He will not do anything that goes against our law!”

“That’s right! Big brother has so many women. It’s just for fun. Don’t worry, everyone!” Fang Yuan snorted coldly and said casually. “Anyway, we’ve already taught her a lesson. I reckon that she won’t dare to pester big brother anymore.”

*

After a day of fun, the two families returned with great joy.

From then on, He Yi got to regard Pei Jie as a friend. When they were free, they would call each other and talk about family matters, as well as share interesting stories and educational experiences about children’s upbringing. When she was free in the afternoon, Pei Jie would also drive over to invite He Yi to a nearby coffee shop for afternoon tea.

After the two families left Strange Amusement Park, they went their separate ways. Yi Liangze drove He Yi and her daughter back to the Fu Xing Leather Factory.

After they got out of the car, Ji Xueshan came over and picked up the two children.

He Yi was not in a hurry to say goodbye to Yi Liangze. After hesitating for a while, she mustered up the courage to tell him what she was thinking. “It’s not that I don’t trust you, and it’s not that I don’t have confidence in our marriage, but... I don’t think that I should ask you to bear all of my responsibilities after marrying you or giving birth to your children. It’s unfair to you, and I feel uneasy. Taking back the He Company, reviving the family business, and avenging my father, are all my responsibilities. I can’t push all of them onto you just because I’m marrying you.”

Perhaps she didn’t have to do anything, and Yi Liangze could help her settle these things. But in the future, life could be full of ups and downs. She had experienced so much in the past six years, and she could no longer be at ease as a flower in a greenhouse. She had to be a big tree that could look down on the wind and rain, and stand shoulder to shoulder with him, she did not want to rely on him for everything.

“I know.” Yi Liangze curved his lips slightly, his dark eyes filled with warm affection. “The things in the past have caused you a lot of damage, and I am partly responsible for it. I didn’t manage to find you and Wan Wan in time. I made you and the children suffer all these years. Now that we are finally going to reunite as a family, as long as we are happy, don’t worry too much .”

Tears welled up in He Yi’s eyes, she said sincerely, “It’s not that I’m worrying too much, I’m just afraid that you’re thinking too much. The most important thing between husband and wife is mutual trust. If you harbor any ill feelings, it’s destined that you won’t be able to go on for a long time. I’m truly satisfied with this marriage. For the sake of having a perfect family for our two children, the company and love of our biological parents, and you... Such an outstanding man, handsome, rich, gentle, and considerate, what more could a wife ask for? I promise that after marriage, I will be faithful to my marriage, and I will never change my mind. If we get tired of each other in the future, we will also break up peacefully, and we will never become a pair of resentful spouses.” She paused, stared at him, and promised seriously, “If you don’t leave, I will not abandon you!”

This was the first time He Yi had confessed to Yi Liangze so frankly, and she felt that these words had to be said. At the very least, she had to let him understand her intentions and not hold any grudges against her.

Yi Liangze was silent, but those pair of deep eyes had been staring at her deeply. There was a hint of passion in the gentleness. “After marriage, you will be loyal to your marriage. There is no such thing as a betrayal. Does the loyalty you speak of referring to the body or the spirit?”

Loyalty was loyalty. was there a separation of body and spirit? He Yi knew that this man was difficult to deal with. If the answer did not satisfy him, there would be more trouble. She could only add, “Loyalty in body and spirit”

As she said this, she realized something and felt that she should add, “Chu Tianyi and I were only husband and wife by name. We are husband and wife!”

Seeing Yi Liangze’s black eyes flash, she panicked again and hurriedly explained, “At that time, I was pregnant, so... no...”

Oh God, the more she explained, the more confused she became. What was she trying to express? Was she trying to say that Chu Tianyi wasn’t interested in her because she was pregnant, or was she trying to say that if she wasn’t pregnant, she would be married to him? Or, she was afraid that Yi Liangze would think that she wasn’t attractive and Chu Tianyi wasn’t interested in her at all, which would be very embarrassing!

In short, the more she tried to explain, the darker she became.

Seeing He Yi’s voice getting softer and softer, her pretty face getting redder and redder, disconcerted and embarrassed, Yi Liangze could not help laughing. He gently pulled her into his embrace and bent his head to plant a gentle kiss on her forehead. “I understand your heart!”

“...” One sentence was enough, and all was alright! He Yi gave up on the futile explanation and leaned into his embrace with peace of mind, embracing him.

Their two children were already five years old, but they had just begun their passionate love.

The passionate display of love was always very short, and before they knew it, it was time to part. But they still hugged each other, immersed in the sweetness, unable to extricate themselves.

“Snap!” The sound of a camera shutter snapping woke Yi Liangze up. He was the first to react, raising his head and berating, “Who is it? Don’t run!”

Only then did He Yi realize that they had been secretly photographed. She quickly pushed Yi Liangze away and turned around. He saw a female reporter wearing a cap holding a camera like a frightened rabbit. She looked like she wanted to run but didn’t dare to.

“Which newspaper are you from?” Yi Liangze asked with a calm and relaxed face.

The female reporter was so scared that her whole body was shaking, but she still hugged the camera tightly. “I.. I. . .”

“It’s your job to take photos, but shouldn’t you get the consent of the person involved before taking a photo?” He Yi asked coldly, then stretched out her slender palm. “Please delete the photo, I want to check it myself!”

However, no one expected what happened next.

The female reporter didn’t say anything under the gaze of the two people (of course, she didn’t delete the photo or hand over the camera), she turned around and ran away.

This change happened too suddenly. Yi Liangze and He Yi looked at each other. As they wanted to chase after her, the female reporter had already disappeared.

“She must be hiding in this courtyard!” He Yi judged.

The female reporter seemed to be experienced. She knew that with her legs, she couldn’t outrun Yi Liangze’s sports car. So, she must have hidden in a corner of the factory, waiting for the two of them to leave before running.

Yi Liangze glanced at He Yi and asked, “Do you want to get someone to search?”

He Yi looked up at him and curled her lips slightly. She said slowly, “It’s getting late. I’m a little tired too.”

“Then should I go and search?” Yi Liangze asked again.

He Yi laughed and looked at him gently and said, “You’re tired after taking the children out to play all day. Moreover, this is not a big deal. We’re not having an affair. What’s there to be afraid of?”

“Ha!” Yi Liangze was overjoyed, unable to hide his joy and appreciation. He immediately gave her a thumbs up and complimented her without holding back, “My wife is so thoughtful!”

He Yi pursed her lips and reminded him, “You should go back.”

“You’re chasing me away again!” Yi Liangze did not leave. Instead, he pulled her into his arms and caressed her shoulder. He said reluctantly, “I want to stay tonight.”

“It’s not good for the children to see that.” He Yi’s tone was fierce, but Yi Liangze had nothing to retort. “Baby has always insisted that he will only call me mom after we get married.”

It was not reasonable to do what a mother should do before she officially became the baby’s mother.

Hearing her words, Yi Liangze was also afraid that it would affect her position and image in the children’s hearts. He could only suppress his desire and warn her resentfully, “The longer you starve me, the more ruthless I will eat. You have to be careful.”

“...” He Yi’s cheeks burned. This man... always looked like he was not gratified with his cravings... uh, he had been single for so many years, could it be that he never had a woman by his side? This question was not suitable for discussion at this moment, so she pushed him again. “Slow down on the way back.”

“Heartless woman!” Yi Liangze kissed her fiercely before reluctantly getting into the car. “Take good care of our children. I’ll pick them up tomorrow!”

He Yi stood there for a long time as she watched the Bugatti Veyron drive away. However, her figure was no longer lonely, and the corners of her eyes and lips curled into a warm smile.

*

While He Yi was attending to the children for dinner, Ji Xueshan happened to come over to deliver a document. She casually asked, “Has Jiameng come back?”

Ji Xueshan said, “Sister Wei locked herself in the lounge after she came back in the afternoon. She didn’t eat lunch either. I knocked on the door to ask if she was sick. She said she was fine and wanted to be alone.”

He Yi was startled and put down her chopsticks. “Has she gone back now?”

“I don’t think so.” Ji Xueshan said apologetically, “I was quite busy with work in the afternoon. I don’t have time to go over and ask how she’s doing!”

“Xueshan, attend to the children. I’ll go over and take a look.” He Yi got up and walked out.

*

The door to the lounge was tightly shut. He Yi knocked, but no one answered. She knocked again, and the door opened.

Wei Jiameng opened the door, but she quickly turned around with her head lowered and returned to the sofa to sit.

The light in the room was a little dim, and the lights were not turned on. He Yi hesitated for a moment, then retracted her hand that was about to turn on the lights. She walked over to Wei Jiameng’s side to check if she was sick.

Wei Jiameng’s hair was disheveled, and she kept her head down. It was not until He Yi pulled her shoulder over that she timidly raised her head. The redness on her face had subsided a little, but there were still clear fingerprints on it. There were even faint traces of blood at the corner of her mouth.

He Yi was very shocked. She cried out involuntarily, “Who hit you?”

The grievance that she had held back for a long time completely exploded when He Yi asked this question. Wei Jiameng fell into He Yi’s arms and burst into tears.

“What happened? Who beat you up like this?” He Yi was anxious and asked repeatedly.

“Wu Wu... Wu Wu Wu...” Wei Jiameng cried until she was out of breath as if she was a child who had been wronged and found a family member to support her. “They all beat me up! And they even kicked me! ... Wu... Wu Wu...”

“Who is it?” He Yi asked anxiously. Suddenly, she realized something. “Is it someone from the Chu family?”

Wei Jiameng cried so hard that she almost passed out. “And Fang... The Fang family... They all hit me... Fang Yu... He refused to comfort me...”

“Fang Yu!” He Yi finally caught the key person. “The B*stard, he dug a hole to deliberately harm you?”

Because Wei Jiameng was crying so hard, she couldn’t figure out the specific truth. It wasn’t until she cried for more than ten minutes and had no strength left that He Yi slowly pried the truth from her.

“Except for Fang Yu and his mother... the others all attacked... Su Anqi hit the hardest... My hair was almost pulled out by her... Chu Chu kicked my stomach... It still hurts...” Wei Jiameng touched her face, and her stomach again.

“Where’s Ge Ge?” He Yi asked. “You haven’t gone back to the factory. What will happen to Ge Ge after school?”

“I called and asked her to stay in the kindergarten tonight... they can arrange accommodation and dinner there!” Wei Jiameng sobbed.

He Yi touched her forehead and looked at Wei Jiameng’s upset face. She felt sad and depressed. “Why did you go and let them beat you up?”

“I.. I. . .” Wei Jiameng’s tears fell, and she sobbed. “I’m divorced... I want... I wanted young master Fang to know...”

“My God!” He Yi said helplessly, “Do you think he cares whether you are divorced or not?”

“...” Wei Jiameng only cried and did not answer.

He Yi suppressed the anger in her heart and asked again, “Fang Yu just stood by and watched those women beat you?”

“He... he stopped them... But... but they were too fierce... no... They didn’t listen to him!” Wei Jiameng bit her lips and tried to suppress her crying, but she couldn’t hold it in. What hurt her the most was not that Fang Yu didn’t stop those women from beating her in time, but... “On the way back, he kept blaming me... saying that I deserved it...”

“That bastard!” He Yi couldn’t stand it anymore. “I’ll get even with him.”

Wei Jiameng held He Yi’s hand, and said, “Help me ask him whether he likes me or not.” If he doesn’t like me, why did he announce that I’m his girlfriend in front of Wen Siling?” If he likes me, why does he... treat me with lukewarm feelings?” My Heart is so uncomfortable. I want to let go of my longing for him, but I can’t bear to part with him. I want to be with him, but he’s so unpredictable...”

He Yi took a deep breath and repeatedly reminded herself to control her emotions. At that time, Wan Wan firmly refused to allow her to say a single word about Chu Tianyi in front of her. She restrained herself very well, and now, she finally succeeded in taking Wan Wan back. Although Wan Wan still had feelings for Chu Tianyi, she no longer took the initiative to pester her to go back and look for her father. It could be seen that Wan Wan was slowly alienating Chu Tianyi.

The human heart was a very fragile thing, and could not bear to be hurt again and again. When a woman (whether a big or small woman) repeatedly cried for a man, that was when she gets disappointed. The more times she cried, the more times she was hurt. Slowly, the tears would decrease, and the feelings would fade.

Fang Yu was not destined to be Wei Jiameng’s lover, and the Chu family would never tolerate her. He Yi knew that at this time, she could only convince Wei Jiameng to give up her obsession with Fang Yu with enough patience.

“As far as I know, Fang Yu is a playboy and has had countless girlfriends! He announced you as his girlfriend just to piss Wen Siling off.” Also, his mother, Empress Chu... is a vicious and merciless person. If you marry him, I’m afraid you would only be courting death.” He Yi patted Wei Jiameng’s shoulder, and she tried to persuade her earnestly, “Jiameng, wake up! You can’t be together with him, and he won’t have any true feelings for you. If he cares abouwhyabouthe let those women beat you up like this?”

Wei Jiameng sobbed and explained in a low voice, “He tried to stop them, and in the end, he even grabbed Su Anqi’s hand... Empress Chu... also tried to stop Fang Yuan and Chu Chu from beating me up again...”

He Yi was very helpless, however, she could only patiently tell her the truth. “Fang Yu was afraid that you would be injured, so he didn’t want to send you to the hospital. He thought it was too alarming. As for Empress Chu... After all, she was not one of those shallow youngsters. She also felt that she had to clean up the mess after sending you to the hospital, especially if it was done in front of her. It wouldn’t sound good if word got out, and it would affect her elegant and noble image as the matriarch of a wealthy family. It wasn’t because she felt sorry for you.”

After the truth was exposed this way, Wei Jiameng had nothing more to say, she could only continue crying. “I just can’t accept it... He Yi, help me ask Fang Yu if he’s true to me! If he doesn’t want to marry me, I’ll... break up with him!”
