Chapter 107 - . Qing Xing Resurrected

He Yi smiled faintly and held his big hand. She did not know why she was so close to him so naturally, as if they were an old couple of many years. They had just gotten married yesterday! “They are unimportant people, nothing big!”

“How can unimportant people make you unhappy?” Yi Liangze raised his eyebrows, obviously not believing it.

Seeing that he was asking, she could only tell him the truth. “Chu Tianyi called just now, saying that he has surrendered himself and is willing to cooperate with me to return all the shares and assets that he stole from the He Corporation back then to me!”

“Oh!.” Yi Liangze narrowed his eyes, seemingly very interested. “There’s such a thing? Just now?”

“Yes!” He Yi nodded and said, “Actually, I planned to tell you even if you didn’t ask!”

Yi Liangze nodded and said, “Of course, I have to go with you!”

“No!” He Yi refused without hesitation. “I promised him that I would only bring bodyguards!” After saying that, she knew that Yi Liangze would not be happy with such a decision, so she added “I’m fine. If you’re worried, you can leave the video on the whole time!”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Yi Liangze’s expression was a little ugly. “He was the one who didn’t permit me to come over! You also agreed?”

He could understand that Chu Tianyi didn’t allow him to go with her, but what he couldn’t understand was that she agreed to such a condition that destroyed her husband’s prestige. This would make him lose face when he sees Chu in the future.

“There’s no need to compete with him! Besides, he might be afraid of you!” He Yi naturally deduced, “You made his soul scatter. He’s afraid of you when he sees you, so he naturally retreats!”

Yi Liangze sneered. “This guy is cunning! Do you think he’ll admit defeat easily?”

From his tone, it seemed like something had gone wrong. He Yi couldn’t help but stare. “Could it be...”

Could it be that Chu Tianyi’s request for her to handle the transfer of shares was just a pretense? Could there be a turning point in the lawsuit?

Looking at He Yi’s nervous face, Yi Liangze said slowly, “Regarding his money laundering... a single careless mistake caused the witness to be silenced!”

So that was it! He Yi could not help but heave a sigh of relief. However, she soon realized that something was wrong.

As expected, Yi Liangze’s unhappy voice sounded, “I heard that the witness died, and you seemed to heave a sigh of relief!”

“That’s not it!” He Yi really could not do anything to him. She could not help but wipe her sweat and explained, “I feel that it’s fortunate that the He Corporation’s lawsuit did not change. Otherwise... I would have wasted all my efforts!”

“To collect evidence of his money laundering, I also put in a lot of effort!” Yi Liangze couldn’t understand why Chu Tianyi, who deserved to die, was not as valuable as the He Corporation’s shares in He Yi’s eyes! “I thought you’d prefer to see him die or go to jail!”

He Yi shrugged and said, “It doesn’t matter whether he lives or dies. I don’t care!”

Yi Liangze looked at her resentfully. He wanted to be angry, but he couldn’t. Her indifferent attitude... was also pleasing to his eyes. If he hated her to the point of gnashing his teeth, he would be unhappy instead. In short, Chu Tianyi’s existence was specifically to cause trouble for him. He had to find a way to get rid of this person before he could completely remove the thorn in his flesh.

However, looking at He Yi’s unenthusiastic attitude, he knew that if he wanted to get rid of Chu Tianyi in the future, he could only rely on himself to work hard. Especially after Chu Tianyi returned to He Yi He corporation, He Yi’s hatred towards the surname Chu might fade even more.

“You don’t have to care too much about this person!” He Yi persuaded Yi Liangze. “After taking back the He Corporation, Rong Yi will also go bankrupt. Chu Tianyi doesn’t have the capital to fight with you anymore. If you want me to say...” as she said this she paused at the right time.

“Say what?” Yi Liangze glanced at her and smiled faintly. “If you have anything to say, you can say it all at once. There’s no need to keep me guessing! What other tricks do the two of us have to play?”

For a moment, He Yi was a little embarrassed. How could he see that she was playing tricks? She just wanted to play a trick. But these little tricks couldn’t hide from the eyes of a smart and wise man.

The embarrassment turned to anger. He Yi curled her lips and said, “Seeing through and not saying it out loud, that’s the rule of a gentleman!”

I’m not a gentleman! Yi Liangze didn’t say this out loud. The corners of his lips curved into a smile as he pulled her into his arms. His voice was much gentler. “Okay, my dear wife, say what you want to say. I’m all ears!”

That was more like it! He Yi also smiled, meaningfully. “The Rong Yi Corporation has collapsed. Chu Tianyi is no longer a threat, but the one supporting him and giving him advice has always been Empress Chu!”

Yi Liangze narrowed his eyes again. “You want me to deal with Empress Chu!”

“She is your aunt, but she is not related to you by blood!” He Yi knew that he might not be able to convince Yi Liangze to lay his hands on Chu Piaoyun in a short time. After all, she was his elder. “Eat up Wanfang and strengthen Kai Kun. I believe that the elders in the family will not blame you!”

The only one who was related by blood to the Fang family was her mother-in-law, Fang Yaqin. However, Yi Liangze was her biological son. Of course, she would side with her son. The rich water should not flow to outsiders’ fields. Would Fang Yaqin stop the flow of her mother-in-law’s assets into her mother-in-law’s assets?

“Empress Chu is not related to me by blood, but Fang Yu and Fang Yuan are my uncle’s flesh and blood!” Yi Liangze looked at He Yi with dry a smile. “Your ambition is really big!”

He Yi was a little embarrassed as she gently shook off his big hand. “What ambition can I have? It’s just taking back what originally belongs to me! As for your matter... I can’t care about it, nor can I care for it!”

“Alright then!” Yi Liangze stood up and his voice turned a few degrees colder. He pounded his hands into his trouser pockets and looked at her disdainfully as he announced, “I’ll kill Chu Tianyi sooner or later!”

He Yi could not help but frown, and her voice turned colder. “I said it doesn’t matter! When I get back the shares of the company, whether he lives or dies doesn’t matter to me. In the future, don’t mention him in front of me!”

Seeing that she was about to get up and leave, Yi Liangze naturally guessed that she was angry. He quickly reached out to stop her. “Make it clear, he can’t die before he returns the shares?”

“Of course not!” He Yi couldn’t take it anymore. “If he dies, wouldn’t it be even more troublesome for me to get the shares back?”

If Chu Tianyi died, she would have to fight the shareholders of Rong Yi Group, big and small. She would be tired to death or annoyed to death.

Yi Liangze narrowed his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.

“I don’t like things that are too troublesome, and I don’t like people who cause trouble for me!” He Yi took a deep breath, she told him, “You helped me investigate clearly that Mayor Chu’s death back then wasn’t unjustified. This helped me a lot! Otherwise, Chu Tianyi wouldn’t have taken the initiative to return the He Corporation to me so easily. I’m very grateful to you. I don’t need to thank you for your kindness. I, He Yi, will remember it in my heart!” She said this.., she pressed on her chest.

She had an ominous premonition that Yi Liangze might get rid of Chu Tianyi before he signed the document. Then, the shares that belonged to her would all be wasted.

She could not explain why Yi Liangze did this, but a woman’s intuition was terrifyingly accurate. She always felt that Yi Liangze did not want her to become stronger too quickly. That would make him feel like he could no longer control her.

However, she did not give him the chance to make a mistake. She directly told him that she would remember his kindness. Similarly, if he dared to play tricks, she would also see it.

“He Yi,” Yi Liangze’s gaze and his voice slowly turned cold. He took one last look at her. “You’re so heartbreaking!”

With that, he turned around and left without stopping.

There was no sound of the door slamming, but He Yi heard the sound of his heart breaking. It was a man’s sorrow, a repressed, obscure, and indescribable sorrow. He could only turn around and leave. He went to a place that she could not see to vent his emotions, including his dissatisfaction with her.

He Yi was stunned. She could not help but ask herself, why did she hurt him so recklessly?She knew how hurtful her words were, but she still said them. It was because she was very afraid that her conjecture would come true – What if he killed Chu Tianyi?

She was too afraid! Because what she wanted could not be lost just because of Chu Tianyi’s sudden death. She warned Yi Liangze sternly, not caring about his mood and feelings at all, nor did she care whether she looked elegant or ugly.

Greed made her lose her composure. She was so desperate that no one could take away what was right in front of her eyes. She would clench her teeth and disregard everything. Even if it was her new husband.

Her delicate hand slowly caressed her cheek. She couldn’t help but mutter to herself, “He Yi, you look so ugly right now!”

*

Makeup artist Sue walked in with two assistants. She put on makeup and changed into a new dress.

During the two days of their marriage, He Yi couldn’t count how many dresses she had changed into. She couldn’t count the amount of makeup, hairstyle, and jewelry she had changed into. In short, she had to change her clothes for every occasion she attended, and she had to change her clothes, hairstyle, and jewelry as well.

Perhaps she was in a bad mood, she wanted to divert her attention, so she smiled and said to sue, “It’s so troublesome to change all day long! How many sets of clothes have you prepared? If you keep changing like this, will there be enough clothes to change into?”

As soon as she said this, Sue couldn’t help but laugh. Her two assistants, Xiao Tao and Xiao Deng, also laughed.

“Young Madam, is this a joke? How could it not be enough to change?” Xiao Tao couldn’t help but say, “How many exclusive suppliers of luxury brands, jewelers, are waiting for your blessing? Except for the dress that young Master Yi specially appointed, it’s up to our sister Sue to decide which dress to change. They are all fighting to curry favor with her...” as she said this, she realized that she was about to slip up, she quickly swallowed the rest of her words.

Xiao Deng quickly added, “Sister Sue won’t listen to those agents just because they’re flattering her. Instead, she’ll decide which gown to wear, which style of jewelry to wear, and which brand of makeup to use. These are all planned. How can she change them at any time?”

As expected of an experienced veteran, Sue was used to all kinds of unexpected incidents, she smiled calmly and said, “At least ten sets of spare clothes and jewelry have been finalized for young madam. Usually, the style and color will be decided according to the nature of the banquet. If Young Madam is interested, I will get the two of them to bring the clothes over. You can choose them yourself!”

He Yi understood and could not help but laugh. She said, “It seems that I was worrying for nothing! I was worried that the clothes would not be enough to change after changing so frequently. I was thinking too much!”

Seeing that He Yi did not mention that she wanted to personally pick a gift, Sue could not help but secretly heave a sigh of relief. It must be known that those luxury brand agents were doing their best to curry favor with her. If He Yi decided to pick her clothes and jewelry, then there would be nothing for her as a freelance stylist.

Seeing that the crisis had passed, Xiao Tao secretly stuck out her tongue – she would not dare to speak recklessly in the future!

After the makeup was done, He Yi looked at herself in the mirror with satisfaction. She nodded and praised, “As expected of an internationally renowned stylist. It’s indeed unique!”

After saying that, she left the lounge.

Actually, how could she not know about this? She just could not be bothered to pay attention to it! If she gave the people around her some benefits, they would naturally be grateful to her. In the future, she might even need the three of them.

*

After changing into a new gown and makeup, He Yi did not immediately go to meet the wives of the Chiefs. Instead, she made another appointment with Yu Shujun.

Yu Shujun had just met He Yi in the morning. Now that she saw her again, her eyes lit up, and her face darkened. No matter how unwilling she was, she had to admit that He Yi was a very beautiful woman. Especially after this woman had put so much effort into her makeup, she was like a beautiful jade that was meticulously carved. No one could hide her brilliance.

Looking at Yu Shujun’s resentful gaze, He Yi knew that it was a woman’s instinctive jealousy that made Yu Shujun unhappy. The other party had intentionally or unintentionally displayed an extraordinary status in front of her at the banquet, so she would constantly remind her who was the female host here. Did she want to show off her privileges? She was afraid that she wasn’t her match! Because she had a legitimate status and position, she completely defeated Yu Shujun in this aspect!

“Sister Yu, do I look good in this outfit?” He Yi asked with a smile.

Yu Shujun could only force a smile. “Miss He is naturally beautiful and looks good in anything!”

“This is different!” He Yi shook her head, she smiled and said, “Sue, an internationally renowned stylist, has extraordinary skills. Even the wives of the well-informed chiefs have praised my makeup as elegant and dignified. Liangze specially hired her to be my stylist so that I wouldn’t have the same makeup as others.”

“Oh!.” Yu Shujun’s smile was already very faint, “Liangze has always had such a luxurious style. Back then, to find a high-quality round pearl, he forcefully searched the jewelry world. In the end, he removed the pearl from an 18th-century crown and placed it on the crown that he specially made for me as my birthday present. I’ll bring it to you another day to let you have a look!”

“Oh!” He Yi felt a stab in her heart. She admitted that Yu Shujun had successfully hurt her. This was because Yi Liangze had also spent a lot of effort on the jewelry that other women wore, but at the same time, she secretly reminded herself not to be fooled. It was precisely because Qing Xing had provoked her jealousy that she was blinded by jealousy and made an irreversible mistake. You can’t only believe what you see with your eyes, you can’t only believe what you hear with your ears, you have to believe what your heart tells you. “Liangze has a heart for you!” Saying this, she sighed softly, she said with some emotion, “It’s been hard on you all these years since big brother left. It’s right for Liangze to take care of you. You don’t have to feel bad about it!”

Her words successfully twisted the smug look on Yu Shujun’s face. She was even a little embarrassed.

He Yi told her that Yi Liangze’s care and preferential treatment for her was only for the sake of his big brother, Yi Jiahao. She told her not to be overly affectionate.

Yu Shujun gritted her teeth. She wanted to retort, but she couldn’t find a reason. Because He Yi was right. At least on the surface, there was no flaw – she was indeed Yi Jiahao’s woman!

“But...” He Yi looked at Yu Shujun’s slightly ugly expression and smiled, she continued, “Liangze and I are already married, and our two children are already five years old. Seeing sister Yu still insisting on keeping herself for big brother... I’m touched and heartbroken. If you continue to wait like this, I hope you can wait until the day Yun Kai sees the sunrise!”

Originally, Yu Shujun had used all her strength to wait for He Yi to tell her to stop wasting her youth. She would use this opportunity to fly into a rage, cry and make a scene to show her infatuation and determination towards Yi Jiahao. However, she did not expect He Yi to hope that she could wait until the sun rose.

Her pent-up energy died halfway, almost choking her.

He Yi saw Yu Shujun’s chest rise and fall, and it was obvious that her breathing was unstable. She smiled and said in a low voice, “The wives of the bureau chief are all here for tonight’s banquet. Sister Yu, let’s go and get to know each other!”

Yu Shujun raised the corners of her mouth and raised her chin without showing any weakness. “I was planning to go!” Did she think that she didn’t have the qualifications to go?

“Oh, that’s great! Sister Yu is also a great beauty, so you have to dress up well!” He Yi gave her a meaningful glance and left with a smile.

After He Yi left, the smile on Yu Shujun’s face could no longer be maintained. She fiercely pushed the decorations next to her to the ground, she said resentfully, “She just got Sue to do styling and she’s so proud of herself. She hasn’t seen the world!” She carefully thought about it. It was not easy to get a stylist that was more famous than Sue in a short period. This was because these internationally renowned masters were all very busy. If she wanted them to do styling, she had to make an appointment at least a week in advance. And she had to attend the dinner party in the evening. The only way was to get Sue to do styling for her.

Of course, Sue was specially hired by Yi Liangze for He Yi, so she naturally didn’t dare to take on any other jobs during the hiring period. The only way was... Yu Shujun immediately gave Yi Liangze a call.”... I want to go over to the dinner party to catch up with the chief’s wives...Hmm, I just don’t know what to wear, and the stylist isn’t satisfied with it either... Hmm, that’s great! I’ll be in the living room. Let Sue bring her assistants over!”

Sure enough, Yi Liangze happily asked Sue to help Yu Shujun with her styling. This was originally a piece of cake, but Yu Shujun was elated. She had to let He Yi know that this wasn’t a man’s special love for anyone. As long as she said the word, she could also enjoy it!

Yu Shujun straightened her back and sneered arrogantly.

*

After Sue received Yi Liangze’s call, she made some preparations and left with her two assistants.

Not long after she left, she met He Yi in the corridor. She looked at them with a smile as if she had something to say.

“Young madam, is there anything else you need?” Sue took a step forward and asked respectfully.

He Yi glanced at the makeup box in Sue’s hand and waved at her with a faint smile. “Miss Sue, can I have a word with you?”

Sue gestured for the two assistants to stay where they were while she followed He Yi into the room next door.

After a while, Sue still walked out with the makeup box in her hand and nodded goodbye to He Yi. Then, she brought the two assistants into Yu Shujun’s living room.

*

Yu Shujun had been waiting there for a long time. When she saw Sue come in, a cold smile appeared on her face. “I’ve heard a lot about Miss Sue. It’s my honor to meet you today!”

“Thank you for your interest, director Yu!” Sue had an ordinary appearance and an easy-going personality. Her mouth was even more nimble. “Director Yu is young and beautiful. Your temperament is elegant and noble. You’re a natural beauty. You look good in all kinds of makeup! Good makeup requires a good foundation. When I saw director Yu, I was especially confident in my makeup today!”

“Oh!” Yu Shujun’s eyes flashed, and her words seemed to be provocative. “In that case, can you make me look better than anyone else, including today’s bride?”

“This...” Sue was suddenly a little embarrassed. She carefully sized up Yu Shujun as if she had made up her mind, she waved her hands at the two assistants. “The two of you go outside for a while. I want to talk to director Yu alone!”

After the two assistants left, Sue told Yu Shujun the truth, “On the way here, Young Madam Yi stopped me and told me to make director Yu’s makeup look no more exquisite than hers!”

Yu Shujun was so angry that she laughed and said, “This is what the rich lady said. Don’t you have any magnanimity? She was afraid that I would look better than her... I am curious. Why would young master Yi marry such a woman? It’s embarrassing!”

Sue also smiled faintly. “Didn’t she give birth to a pair of children for Young Master Yi?”

“...” Yu Shujun’s chest was stuffed, but she had nothing to say.

“Alright, director Yu, don’t be angry. Such a beautiful face is so angry and it doesn’t look good!” Sue quickly advised, “Later, I’ll put on the most beautiful makeup for you. I guarantee that I’ll surpass hers!”

“Ha, aren’t you afraid that she will spread rumors about you and ask Young Master Yi to fire you?” Yu Shujun looked at Sue coldly.

Sue’s expression did not change as she calmly said, “I believe that with director Yu around, I will not lose my job!”

Hearing this, Yu Shujun was very pleased. “Based on my relationship with Liangze, of course, he will not fire you just because you offended her! Leave this to me!”

Sue flattered, “Of course. Everyone knows that young Master Yi and director Yu have been friends for nearly ten years. It’s extraordinary!”

“Yes, he’s a sensible person!” Yu Shujun heaved a sigh of relief and lay down on the soft leather chair. “Let’s begin!”

*

The venue for the banquet was changed to outdoors.

This was because most of the people attending the banquet were elderly senior officers and their wives. Unlike the likes of young people, the main style of the banquet was still pear garden style.

Yi Liangze had someone set up a temporary stage in the courtyard of the Banquet. There were a few wooden tables and chairs placed on the stage, giving it a quaint and antique atmosphere. There were also wine and dishes. The banquet was not as casual as the usual western-style self-service. It was extremely in line with the style of the elderly.

It was early summer and the Moon hung high in the sky. The temperature was suitable. It was indeed the best season for a gathering outside the court.

The stage was bustling with activity. One moment it was a riot in the heavenly palace, another moment it was Mu Guiying leading the charge, and another moment it was a battle of wits... Some of the old leaders even began to sing along to the familiar melody in a low voice, and they were in high spirits.

He Yi was chatting with Madam Yang and Professor Hua. From time to time, she peeled some melon seeds or dried fruits and fed the child a few mouthfuls. She was very relaxed and at ease. However, she would occasionally look at Yu Shujun, but she quickly averted her gaze.

Yu Shujun was dressed very beautifully. Her makeup and dress were even more exquisite than tonight’s bride, He Yi. Moreover, she had been standing beside Yi Liangze the entire time. If it wasn’t for the fact that the officers and the wives had gotten to know He Yi at noon, they might have mistaken Yu Shujun as tonight’s bride.

“This Miss Yu... seems to have been by Liangze’s side for quite some time!” Professor Hua said to Madam Yang. However, it was obvious that she was speaking to He Yi.

He Yi listened indifferently and did not comment.

Madam Yang looked at He Yi and smiled. However, there was a trace of sympathy and sorrow in her smile that He Yi could not understand. “You are also magnanimous. Otherwise, how could she appear on such an occasion?”

He Yi felt that the two madams were either hinting or sympathizing with her, then, she said, “Miss Yu is big brother’s girlfriend. Ever since big brother went missing, she has been looking for big brother with Liangze. It just so happened that she was here tonight. She has also met a few of the leaders, so she came over.”

Professor Hua pursed her lips and said, “Don’t always sit with us. Go and sit with Liangze!”

He Yi shook her head firmly and said with a smile, “I’m not interested in men’s topics. I prefer that we sit and talk together.”

After a while, Yi Liangze walked over. “Professor Hua, sister-in-law, go and sit at the table over there!”

Mrs. Yang chewed on her melon seeds and said with a smile, “Did you come here specifically to invite us to drink or to look for your bride?”

Yi Liangze coughed and did not hesitate. He laughed straightforwardly, “Sister-in-law has sharp eyes. Nothing can be hidden from you!”

Mrs. Yang pursed her lips, “We are all experienced people. Can’t you tell? Newlyweds were like glue. How could they bear to leave for a while? Even if they occasionally tripped over each other, it would only be a fight at the head of the bed and the bed at the end. How could they hold a grudge?”

He Yi was stunned. She realized that Madam Yang was really smart. There was no way she could hide anything from her. She only sat here with them for a while longer. However, Yu Shujun stood by Yi Liangze’s side for a while longer, and they could tell that she might have gotten into an argument with Yi Liangze.

“Yes, yes, sister-in-law, you’re right!” Yi Liangze raised a glass of wine and handed it to He Yi with both hands. “I’ll drink to myself, please don’t be angry!” With that, he raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Professor Hua laughed so hard that she fell. She said, “I’ve never seen such an interesting side of Liangze!”

Mrs. Yang took the opportunity to push He Yi. “What are you waiting for? Quickly drink up and return home with your husband.”

The endless drama on the stage just happened to set off the melodious laughter at the moment. He Yi could not help but laugh.

She stood up and walked to Yi Liangze’s side. At the same time, she stole a glance at his expression.

Yi Liangze didn’t look unhappy, nor did he look depressed. As soon as she came to his side, he grabbed her waist and whispered, “Come with me to toast the Chiefs!”

Yu Shujun was a little disappointed when she saw He Yi standing beside Yi Liangze again. No matter how exquisite her makeup was or how gorgeous her dress was, it didn’t change the fact that He Yi was Yi Liangze’s bride!

She had come here tonight to embarrass herself. It was only now that she realized that she might have made a mistake – she shouldn’t have come tonight!

Maybe she was agitated by He Yi and lost control of her emotions, or maybe she wanted to prove to her that she was different. In short, she wanted to provoke He Yi’s jealousy and intensify the conflict between them. But in the end, she realized that she seemed to have been provoked by He Yi.

What was she doing here? Perhaps Yi Liangze and He Yi had a little conflict, but that did not stop them from being newlyweds. With just a glance at each other and a few words of matchmaking from others, they quickly put the past behind them and got back together.

She sat beside Professor Hua, Mrs. Yang, and a few other high-ranking officials’ wives. It was obvious that she felt their indifference, and she understood that they had underestimated her lack of propriety. On such an occasion today, Yu Shujun, who was wearing makeup, had been standing beside Yi Liangze. Wasn’t she being too straightforward, or did she have ulterior motives?

Women had the sharpest minds. No one who played tricks could escape their eyes. Moreover, these official wives were all experienced veterans who had seen countless people. Their childish tricks naturally could not escape their sharp eyes.

Yu Shujun came to her senses and was filled with regret. She could only try her best to salvage the situation and respectfully stood up to leave. “I might have drunk a few more glasses and feel a little dizzy. Ladies, please take a seat. I’ll be leaving now!”

As Yu Shujun bid her farewell, the expressions of the officials’ wives relaxed slightly. They also stood up politely to send her off.

Everything returned to normal. It was as if Yu Shujun’s arrival was just a pebble thrown into the lake. After creating a circle of ripples, everything quickly returned to normal.

*

Yu Shujun walked out of the banquet venue in a huff and headed straight for her living room. At this moment, a person rushed out from the shadows of the lights to stop her.

“I told you that Sue was stopped by He Yi before she came to give you a makeover. The two of them talked for a while alone, and it might not be good for you! Why are you still here? The man was black, tall, and strong like a black tower, he was the boss of the Green Gang, nicknamed Black Qilin, who used to rule Yun City. He was now the vice president of Operations, Qi Lin, at the banquet.

“So what if I came?” Yu Shujun held back her anger and drank a few glasses of wine, her temper and tone were particularly sharp. “Don’t tell me I can’t be seen in public! So what if he gets married and has a bride? I’m not any worse-looking than her!”

“But you’re not his bride!” Qi Lin couldn’t take it anymore. “What’s the point of doing this? I’m warning you, He Yi is already suspecting you. You better be careful!”

“Suspecting me?” Yu Shujun sneered, she was completely disdainful. “What does she suspect me of? Qing Xing is already dead. She was forced to die by her! The video recording is gone, and she suspects me. Don’t tell me that I’m the person in charge of keeping these miscellaneous things? I don’t care what she finds!”

Qing Xing was already dead, and the video was destroyed. There was no evidence to support her suspicions. Yu Shujun couldn’t stand He Yi’s smugness. She had the urge to tear her apart.

“Shh, keep your voice down!” Qi Lin wiped off his cold sweat. “If someone hears it, it will reach young master Yi’s ears...”

“So what!” Yu Shujun took advantage of the alcohol and wasn’t afraid at all. “My ten-year relationship with Liangze can’t be compared to a few months with her! Even if she gave birth to two children for him... it’s just because of this little credit. However, she’s not the only woman who can give birth to children! Liangze will never punish me for her!”

Qi Lin saw that Yu Shujun was getting more and more agitated, so he had no choice but to calm down. He did not dare to continue arguing. “Okay, okay, okay. I won’t argue with you! Go back and rest!”

“I’m not going back. I’m bored by myself. I want to drink!” Yu Shujun turned around and prepared to go to the bar.

Qi Lin quickly caught her and knocked her out with a slap. Then, he carried her back to the living room.

*

After an unknown amount of time, Yu Shujun woke up and found herself lying on the bed in the living room. There was a night light in the room, and the light was dim. There was a rich fragrance in the room.

She slowly got up and rubbed her aching head. Before she could figure out how she got back to the bedroom, she was shocked to find that there was a copper censer shaped like a crane on her bedside table, smoke rose from the censer.

“Ah!” Yu Shujun screamed as if she had seen a ghost. Her eyes were as wide as copper bells, and her whole body trembled like a sieve. How was that possible? She had thrown away this copper stove, so why was it still placed on her bed when she returned to her bedroom?

Yu Shujun felt a chill run down her spine, and her hair stood on end. She instinctively got up and picked up the incense burner, but she accidentally burned her hand. Because the incense burner was lit, copper carried the heat the fastest, so she instinctively threw it away after being burned.

The burning sandalwood residue splashed all over the floor, igniting the carpet and causing white smoke to rise.

Yu Shujun was in an extremely sorry state. She could only step on the carpet desperately to extinguish the sparks. She couldn’t care less about her hands being scalded. She picked up the incense burner again and hurriedly stuffed it into a garbage can in front of the bed, packing it with a garbage bag, she was prepared to throw it out in the dark when no one was around.

As she was about to leave, she vaguely felt that something was wrong, so she stopped walking. Before she could figure out what was wrong, there was a light knock on the door.

The door was pushed open when Yu Shujun, who was in a state of panic, thought of these words.

A beautiful girl walked in silently. Her face was pale and her lips were a strange purplish-black color. There were bloody tears at the corners of her eyes as she stared at Yu Shujun with a bitter gaze.

Yu Shujun looked at that beautiful and terrifying face and was scared out of her wits. Her pupils dilated and her breathing stagnated. Her heart skipped a beat – it was Qing Xing!

Qing Xing, who had been dead for many days, unexpectedly appeared in front of her just like that!
