Chapter 119 - 29. Pregnant?

Fu Xing office building, He Yi’s private office.

Zhuo Hongzhao was dejected. He didn’t have the face-to-face, He Yi. He sat on the sofa with his head drooping, he explained,”... I also had no choice! I don’t know who she heard those words from, but she thinks that I and you... have something shameful! How is this possible? Not to mention that your husband is so outstanding, and you’re not a frivolous woman! I don’t know who told her that the patent should belong to me, but she insisted on forcing me to get the patent back. I repeatedly explained to her that President He and I did the experiment, and the secret formula was also provided by president He. The lab, assistant, and experimental funds are all president He’s. How can I have any reason to swallow the patent alone?”

He Yi looked at him coldly. After a long while, she said, “Logically speaking, she is your wife and has the right to know everything about you. But from the meaning of your words, it seems that you are hiding something from her!”

“Yes!” Zhuo Hongzhao admitted, “The relationship between her and me... is not good, especially since I just returned to China and lost my job for a year... she is always making trouble and complaining that I can’t earn money, and she even wants to divorce me... I don’t have any feelings for her! It was not easy to meet you, president He. You supported me and gave me a chance to get to where I am today! I’m not saying that I’m being grateful, but at least I have a conscience. How can I keep the patent money alone?”

He Yi nodded. “In other words, you didn’t take the initiative to tell her about the factory, but she knows about it. She also knows that I worked overtime with you to do experiments and made a big fuss about it!”

“Yeah!” Zhuo Hongzhao complained helplessly. “I wonder where she heard it from! Who is so talkative?”

“I’m afraid that some people with good intentions are deliberately trying to sow discord!” He Yi felt that this matter was not simple, but she couldn’t think of any result even if someone had instigated Zhuo Hongzhao’s wife to make trouble. “How do you plan to deal with this matter?”

She had no interest in always cleaning up the mess for others. She had not thought of sharing the patent for the invention, but Zhuo Hongzhao had taken the initiative to offer to share it with her, and she did not refuse. Because he was right. The formula needed for the patent was provided by her, and the funding for the experiment was also provided by her. She had also participated in the entire process of the experiment, it was only because she was busy getting married that Zhuo Hongzhao was pushed alone to the final stage of the sprint.

Now that Zhuo Hongzhao’s wife came to make a fuss about it, she had no intention of backing down. Because she knew very well that she couldn’t give in to certain people. If she gave in, she would have to give in countless times. The human heart was not enough, and the snake swallowed the elephant!

“I...” Zhuo Hongzhao looked at her helplessly. Seeing that she didn’t seem to have any intention of giving in, he swallowed his saliva. “How about... how about... how about letting her stay in the police station for a few more days!”

“...” He Yi was speechless! She finally understood what it meant to say that a pitiful person must have something hateful.

“I know, I’ve caused trouble for president He! It’s just... It’s just... I really can’t do anything to this shrew!” Zhuo Hongzhao hugged his big head, he sighed helplessly. “I’ve given all my income to her, but she still won’t stop! Unless... I give her all the patent money for my invention...”

“I’m sorry,” He Yi said coldly. “The patent money should indeed be half of mine. I don’t owe your wife anything, so I will never give it to her!”

......

Her attitude was cold and clear, without any room for negotiation.

“Oh! Oh!” Zhuo Hongzhao explained awkwardly. “I didn’t mean that. I didn’t mean that I want president He to give her half of the patent money that belongs to you... I mean...”

In the end, he didn’t say anything. The only clear request was that his shrew wife could stay in the police station for a few more days!

He Yi looked at Zhuo Hongzhao’s trembling and timid look. He was afraid of his wife, but he had no way to deal with her. She took a deep breath and suggested tentatively, “Have you considered divorce?”

Zhuo Hongzhao’s whole body trembled, and he seemed to be very scared. “Divorce... Divorce?”

Looking at his terrified look, it seemed that he was going to fight a fierce tiger with his bare hands.

“Instead of living in such pain, it’s better to cut the Gordian knot quickly!” He Yi’s expression and tone remained cold. At first, she admired Zhuo Hongzhao’s talent and kindness very much, and always felt that it was a pity that he had no talent. Now, it seemed that there was a reason why he had been down and out in the past — poor people must have their detestable aspects! “I know you have two children, but living in such an environment of war every day is very disadvantageous to their growth. I hope you can consider it!”

“I.. I. . .” Zhuo Hongzhao was about to cry. “She will kill me!”

He Yi thought about his wife’s fierce look and knew that he was not exaggerating. This woman was capable of doing anything because her possessiveness was too strong. “I will assign you two bodyguards. They will be responsible for your safety from now on. In addition, they will help you find two nannies to take care of your two children. They will also help you hire a lawyer and immediately start preparing for a divorce lawsuit. Before the divorce, you will live in the factory and don’t go anywhere. Don’t worry, she can’t kill you. Do you think this is okay?”

Zhuo Hongzhao’s mouth was wide open as if he was shocked by He Yi’s thunderous methods. He never thought that the matter that had troubled him for half of his life could be handled so quickly and properly. “Uh!...”

He Yi crossed her fingers and exhaled lightly. “I suggest you do as I say! Otherwise, you will live the rest of your life in endless arguments and scolding, and your children will also be affected!”

At the mention of the children, Zhuo Hongzhao made up his mind. “It’s fine if she hits me, but she often hits the children... for them... I can’t live with this shrew anymore! “President He... Thank you... otherwise, I wouldn’t have the guts to divorce her! She’s too much of a troublemaker. Every time, she smashes the house, beats me up, and even hits and scolds the children! To make her calm down, I’ll do whatever she wants...”

This was the consequence of being weak! The compromise with the strong would never end. After one compromise, there would be a second compromise! Then, there would be endless exploitation.

“Okay, then do as I’ve arranged!” He Yi could see that if she didn’t help Zhuo Hongzhao make a decision, he would never know how to deal with this mischievous woman. She picked up the phone and instructed her assistant. “Please contact the labor service company immediately and help hire two bodyguards... men will do! Also, hire two housewives to take care of the children... Yes, and contact a lawyer. It’s a divorce case!”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Zhuo Hongzhao sat there with a bitter look on his face. After He Yi hung up the phone, he mumbled, “How many days will that shrew be locked up in the police station?”

He Yi couldn’t help but sigh. “She didn’t commit any major crimes. She’ll be released very soon! Don’t worry, as long as you follow my arrangements, you’ll be able to get rid of her!”

“Decisive and ruthless, doing things without hesitation! What should I do? I seem to like you more and more!”

Wen Yongxiang gave Ji Xueshan a thumbs up, not concealing his admiration and affection for her!

Ji Xueshan, on the other hand, was disgusted and full of disdain. “Why do you haunt me all day? Aren’t you annoying?”

Wen Yongxiang’s face fell, and he explained in a low voice, “My looks can be considered to be worthy of the audience. Why do you always look like this when you see me?”

“Second Young Master Wen, please have some self-respect!” Ji Xueshan could not be bothered to waste her breath on him, and she directly walked away. “Don’t pester me anymore, I have no interest in you!”

Wen Yongxiang still did not give up, and shouted, “Who are you interested in?”

Ji Xueshan stopped walking, and her heart seemed to move slightly, but in the end, she swallowed all her words. “It has nothing to do with you!”

With that, she left without looking back!

Looking at the woman’s unsentimental back, Wen Yongxiang’s fighting spirit was ignited. “Just you wait, I’ll catch up to you one day!”

Then, he kicked her away! Of course, he did not say the last sentence. A young and energetic man, for a woman who never set him in her eyes, no doubt ignited a strong desire to conquer.

After wandering for half a lifetime, he finally met someone who caught his eye, and that was the pursuit of his entire life. Anyway, he was very free and had nothing else to do, so he might as well chase a woman!

Even if he could never get this woman, he would not give up. Just treat it as an extremely challenging game!

*

After dealing with Zhuo Hongzhao’s matter, He Yi only felt that her head was a little heavy, so she leaned on the table to take a nap for a while. When she woke up, she felt that her entire body was soft, and her throat seemed to be on fire. She might have caught a cold.

She didn’t expect to catch a cold at this time!

He Yi dialed Ji Xueshan’s cell phone and the other party hung up. After a while, Ji Xueshan pushed the door open and walked in.

“I might have caught a cold!” He Yi stroked her heavy head and said, “Take me home!”

“Okay!” Ji Xueshan paused and suggested, “I’ll help you buy some cold medicine on the way!”

In the chairman’s Office of Wanfang Group’s skyscraper.

Chu Piaoyun threw his phone angrily and almost died from anger. “Useless thing, He Yi sent her away just like that!”

Fang Yuan walked in and saw that Chu Piaoyun’s expression was extremely bad, so she asked, “Mom, what happened? Did Zhuo Hongzhao’s wife not go to Fu Xing to cause trouble?”

“That shrew went to cause trouble, but she was captured by the police! That’s fine, but we’ve already achieved our goal. The most infuriating thing is that she actually let Zhuo Hongzhao live in the factory and even hired two bodyguards for him. He definitely won’t step out of the factory before the divorce. What do you think we should do?”

Hearing this, Fang Yuan was shocked. She said, “Could it be that He Yi knows about our plan? !”

“That might not be the case!” Chu Piaoyun judged. “It might be that the shrew offended He Yi so much that she wanted to instigate Zhuo Hongzhao to divorce! But with this, our plan might have some changes!”

Fang Yuan rolled her eyes, she smiled and said, “Actually, this isn’t difficult! Since Zhuo Hongzhao hid in the factory and could not be caught, why not take action against his wife? As long as they don’t divorce, that shrew would be his wife, and he wouldn’t be able to escape responsibility even if something happened to her! Of course, He Yi wouldn’t be able to escape responsibility either! The murder case, the financial case, and the adultery case would probably be enough for He Yi to drink a pot of tea!”

Chu Piaoyun suddenly understood when she heard that and couldn’t help but exclaim happily, “It’s indeed a brilliant plan! Yuanyuan, you’re a smart child, a hundred times stronger than your big brother! In the future... Sigh, it’s a pity that you’re a girl!”

The rules of the Chu family valued sons over daughters. Only Boys could inherit the rights to Wanfang’s shares, and girls only had dowries. The thing that made Chu Piaoyun the most regretful was that her nephew, whom she valued the most, had suffered a crushing defeat; the most intelligent and capable child was a daughter, and the son with the most chips was a playboy!

“Mom, you’re my hope and reliance!” Fang Yuan leaned on Chu Piaoyun’s shoulder obediently, and her pretty face flushed with embarrassment. “Although I don’t have the right to inherit the shares of the Chu family, Ziqiao is the heir of the Yi family. If I can be with him, I can be like mom in the future. A mother is valued by her son!”

At the mention of Yi Ziqiao, Chu Piaoyun’s eyes lit up. However, it quickly dimmed again. “Although Yi Ziqiao is also a descendant of the Yi family, he is far from being valued by the elders as much as Yi Liangze. In addition, Su Yuzhi is a thorn in his side. I’m afraid that marrying him won’t be so easy in the future!”

Fang Yuan could not help but curl her lips. “Who does Su Yuzhi think she is? She’s just a step-in-law! Yang Yang is only so-so. She can’t threaten Ziqiao’s status! No matter what, Ziqiao is the eldest son of the Yi family’s second son. His status is obvious. “If I marry him and assist him, even if I can only inherit 20% of Kai Kun’s shares, that would be equivalent to Wanfang’s entire fortune!”

Chu Piaoyun finally broke into a smile, and said happily, “As expected of a daughter of Chu Piaoyun. She’s smart and far-sighted! “It’s a blessing to be able to marry the man you love. If this man can also bring you illustrious wealth and noble status, your children will be born into prestigious families in the future. This is the icing on the cake! As expected, you’re very thoughtful! Mommy supports you! Also, I’ll leave this matter of dealing with He Yi to you! Just treat it as an opportunity to temper yourself!”

“Thank you, Mommy, for your trust!” Fang Yuan could not help but be overjoyed when she heard that Chu Piaoyun had handed to her the authority to deal with He Yi. “I’ll not let you down!”

Chu Tianyi was sentenced to two years imprisonment outside the prison, and the place where he was imprisoned was the He family villa in Xingyue bay.

Wan Wan was already waiting there. Yi Liangze sent Xiao Chi to send the child over, but the couple did not show up again.

“Dad.” Wan Wan was looking forward to meeting Chu Tianyi. She jumped over happily and jumped into Chu Tianyi’s arms like a deer.

Chu Tianyi hugged Wan Wan tightly, so excited that tears filled his eyes. “I’ve finally waited for you! Wan Wan, you haven’t come to see dad for so long. Have you forgotten Dad?”

“Wan Wan has never forgotten Daddy!” Wan Wan planted a kiss on Chu Tianyi’s cheek and said sweetly, “Wan Wan will come to see Daddy every week from now on!”

Hearing that, Chu Tianyi’s joy could be imagined, but he was still worried. “Will your mother agree?”

Want Wan nodded her little head affirmatively. “Mommy loves Wan Wan. She would do everything she promised Wan Wan!”

Chu Tianyi could see Wan Wan’s reliance and trust in He Yi, and this made him feel a little uncomfortable. In the past, he was Wan Wan’s haven, and Wan Wan trusted him the most. Now that he had returned to He Yi’s side not long ago, there was a strong tendency to replace him.

This realization made him a little sad, but he was also helpless. “Daddy is not by your side, don’t forget me! Daddy will always be here waiting for you! When you become an adult, you won’t have to be restricted by them, and you can come over whenever you want!”

Things after adulthood were too far away, but it was always good to have a vision. Wan Wan solemnly nodded her little head to show that she understood what he meant. “When Wan Wan grows up and works, I’ll earn money to buy delicious food for Tianyi Daddy!”

“Tianyi Daddy...” Chu Tianyi was stunned, then he asked bitterly, “Daddy is Daddy, why do we have to add Tianyi!”

He used to be her unique father, even if no one shared it with him in the name. Only today did he understand that it was a luxury to hear her call him father.

He was no longer her only father because she found her biological father, who was a man with a far more prominent status than him.

“Mom said that I have a biological father, and Tianyi’s father is my foster father...” maybe because she knew that these words would hurt Chu Tianyi, Wan Wan’s voice was very low, as if she had done something wrong. “Tianyi’s father, don’t be angry!”

Chu Tianyi was silent for a while, and then he sighed, “I’m not angry! How could I be angry with Wan Wan? As long as you are willing to come back to see me, I’ll be very happy!”

“Dad, I learned another new song to play for You!” Wan Wan knew that Chu Tianyi liked to listen to her play the piano, so she practiced hard every day just so that she could play a song in front of him.

“Okay, I’ll listen to you play!” Chu Tianyi carried Wan Wan to the piano room and sat beside her, admiring her playing.

The girl was only five and a half years old, but when she sat in front of the piano, she already had an extraordinary temperament, as if she was a natural princess, the nobility in her bones could not be hidden. Yes, she was indeed a princess! There were many men in the Yi family, but there was only such a little princess. Naturally, she was the apple of their eye!

Chu Tianyi could see that Wan Wan was living very well in the Yi family. She had grown a lot taller and was even more beautiful and cute. Due to being doted on, her previous timid and timid habits had slowly disappeared, and she had become much more confident.

The girl began to reveal the temperament of a lady from a prestigious family, just like a budding golden rose. He could imagine how stunning she would be when she bloomed, just like He Yi in the past.

When he fell in love with He Yi, it was the most agonizing time of his life. Therefore, missing out on appreciating He Yi’s beauty became his lifelong regret.

If he could watch Wan Wan grow up and see her blooming with dazzling brilliance, that would be his greatest hope and longing.

“Daddy, daddy!” Wan Wan shouted several times in Chu Tianyi’s ear. Only then did he come back to his senses and found that the child had finished playing a song and returned to his arms. She asked curiously, “What are you thinking about?”

Chu Tianyi smiled slightly and hugged Wan Wan to his knees. He kissed her cheek and sighed, “Daddy is thinking about something that happened a long time ago!”

“Are you thinking about Wan Wan?” Wan Wan’s big bright eyes twinkled as she asked expectantly.

Under the girl’s expectant gaze, Chu Tianyi nodded slightly and said with certainty, “Of course, it’s Wan Wan! There’s only Wan Wan in Daddy’s Heart!”

“Who allowed you to give her medicine? ! Did you ask for my permission? Even if she was sick, the family doctor would prescribe the medicine for her. When was it your turn to make the decision? Do you know how serious the consequences are? Can you defend it?”

He Yi was in a daze. She vaguely heard Yi Liangze berating Ji Xueshan. She wanted to get up, but she didn’t have the strength to do so.

“I’m sorry...” Ji Xueshan’s voice sounded like she was crying. She said in a panic, “I didn’t know that the problem was so serious... I didn’t know...”

“You dare to make decisions without knowing what you don’t know?” Yi Liangze did not calm down at all. On the contrary, he became even angrier. “Let me tell you, if it causes irreparable consequences, I will not let you off!”

He Yi could not hold it in any longer. She struggled to stretch out half of her body and shouted, “What’s wrong! Liangze, what’s going on!”

She only had a cold. On the way back, Ji Xueshan had conveniently bought some common cold medicine for her in the pharmacy. It had caused Yi Liangze to fly into a rage. Why was his temper getting worse?

“I’m sorry...”Hi, Xueshan’s sobbing could be heard faintly. She was crying. “I was wrong!”

“Smart-alecky, get lost!” Yi Liangze was furious. He had completely lost his usual gentlemanly demeanor.

He Yi could imagine how Ji Xueshan ran out with her face covered in tears.

When Yi Liangze pushed open the half-closed door and walked into the bedroom, he saw that she had already struggled to get up. He quickly went forward to support her and habitually hugged her in his arms. “Why are you up?”

“What’s going on?” He Yi felt weak all over and felt dizzy. She leaned on Yi Liangze’s shoulder. “Why are you so angry at Xueshan? She’s not wrong...”

When Ji Xueshan was mentioned, Yi Liangze’s eyes lit up again. But in front of her, he could only suppress his anger and said reluctantly, “Don’t randomly take medicine in the future!”

He Yi thought about it and said, “I didn’t randomly take medicine! Shouldn’t you take cold medicine if you have a cold? It’s not a prescription medicine. It won’t be dangerous!”

Yi Liangze’s expression was very ugly. He looked at her as if he wanted to say something, but he hesitated.

Perhaps it was because she was sick, He Yi’s reaction was a little slow. She couldn’t figure out what he meant. “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with Xueshan. You hurt her heart by throwing a tantrum at her like this! Even though she’s working for me on a salary, she’s doing her best. She’s practically my friend! We can’t just rely on benefits to maintain a relationship between people. We should also be honest with each other! She’s helped me fend off many dangers. She’s never been sneaky or sly. She’s always risen to the challenge and was even beaten up to the point of being hospitalized! Don’t be too harsh on her!”

She really couldn’t understand Yi Liangze’s abnormal harshness, nor did she understand why Ji Xueshan was wrong in helping her buy cold medicine.

Seeing He Yi’s tightly furrowed brows, Yi Liangze finally couldn’t take it anymore. “We’ve been married for more than a month, and we’ve had sex almost every night. Haven’t you ever considered that... you might be pregnant now?”

“...” He Yi was shocked, and she subconsciously looked at her flat stomach.

“I’m not criticizing Ji Xueshan, but... this matter is too serious! You can’t take cold medicine in the early stages of pregnancy. If you get pregnant, it will affect the development of the embryo...thinking of this.., Yi Liangze wanted to strangle Ji Xueshan to death. “If this leads to abortion, I can’t forgive her. She has to get lost!”
