Chapter 126 - Kissing his wife (1/2)
“Don’t let the Chu family know about this! I’m afraid… Empress Chu will force me to have an abortion!”
When Wei Jiameng said this, He Yi was so angry that smoke appeared to be coming out of her seven apertures. However, Wei Jiameng was deeply poisoned and would not change her mind no matter what!
“This is ridiculous! You can hide for a while, but you can’t hide for a lifetime!” He Yi shouted in a low voice filled with pain. “Jiameng, wake up! The consequences of being so willful are so severe! In the future, not only will your future be ruined, but your child will also never be able to grow up!”
Chu Piaoyun had always been strong and had a high opinion of herself. Even Wen Siling, who came from a prestigious family, was not worthy of her attention. How could she take a fancy to Wei Jiameng? If Wei Jiameng gave birth to a descendant of the Fang family, she would see them as a thorn in her flesh. How could she tolerate the existence of the mother and son?
Moreover, for Wei Jiameng to give birth to a child out of wedlock was too unfair for her!
“I said, if I want to die, I will die with him!” Wei Jiameng opened her mouth and smiled dreamily. “I fell in love bitterly, but there was no result. The heavens pitied me and gave me this child! Even if he is not recognized by the Fang family, or even by his biological father, I still want him!”
He Yi was so angry that her stomach hurt. She pressed her hand on her stomach and forced out a smile. “Very good, the poison has entered your internal organs and is completely incurable! Just wait to pay the price for your willfulness and suffer!”
*
He Yi had once warned Wei Jiameng but she had ignored her dissuasion and objections and falling in love with Fang Yu, so she had to pay the price for her willfulness! The consequences might be bitter or sweet, but in He Yi’s judgment, it was most likely bitter!
As expected, Wei Jiameng finally tasted the bitter consequences of failing in love! She did not think of repentance, about making mistakes again and again, but completely sprinting towards the entrance of hell without turning back!
He Yi was angered to the point of exploding, but there was nothing she could do.
If this silly girl acted foolishly, even nine cows could not pull her back, what could she do to her!
When Wei Jiameng wiped her tears again, she had already made up her mind. He Yi knew that she had no way to turn things around.
“I didn’t want to tell you about this at first, but I know that it will make you feel angry for nothing!” Wei Jiameng said guiltily. “But I still couldn’t hide it from you! I brought this upon myself, so you don’t have to care about me anymore! Even if I bring this child up to beg for food, I’m willing to do it!”
Having said that, He Yi could only sigh.
“He Yi, I know you’re very busy! Don’t waste your time and work on my stupid things anymore!” Wei Jiameng sensibly ordered her to leave. “I’m taking a leave of absence for three days to adjust my body and mentality. I’ll come to work as usual after three days… Can you allow me to reach the expected delivery date… I need money!”
He Yi rubbed the space between her brows with her fingers and took deep breaths. She repeatedly reminded herself not to be angry.
“I did some calculations. The salary you give me is very high. I’ll leave Ge Ge to you to raise, and you’ll cover all of her expenses… I would live in the factory and wouldn’t spend much money. In addition to what you give me, I’ve saved a sum of money in my account. Also, I still have the house that my father left behind… I have to thank you for the house. If you didn’t help me divorce Jiang Peng, he might have sold it to pay off his debts by now! In short, I can take care of this child with my financial ability. When the child is older and can go to kindergarten, I’ll come back to work! Wei Jiameng counted with her fingers, calculated the funds, and even planned for the child to go to kindergarten.
He Yi was so angry that she laughed, in the end, she said, “You will not give up until you reach the Yellow River! Let me tell you, unless you can marry Fang Yu or you are pregnant with a girl, this child will not survive! Empress Chu will never allow him to live!”
Wei Jiameng was confused by He Yi’s words and asked in despair, “Why? What’s wrong with a boy? Why can’t Empress Dowager Chu allow me to have a boy… At any rate, he is her biological grandson and has a blood relationship with her…”
“Because of the rules of the Fang Family!” He Yi took a deep breath and hardened her heart to break Wei Jiameng’s last fantasy. “The shares of the Wanfang group can only be inherited by a boy. If you can not marry Fang Yu, how can the Fang family allow the extremely precious male member of the Fang family to wander outside? Either get rid of him or make him an official. With Empress Dowager Chu’s ruthless style, most likely they will get rid of him!”
Wei Jiameng’s mouth was wide open and she could not close it. She held her flat stomach tightly as if Chu Piaoyun was about to kill her child. She cried out in fear, “He Yi, what should I do?”
Dead silence! It was because He Yi was also in a dilemma. In the end, she finally said slowly, “The only way… is to go all out. You might as well go all out – Marry Fang Yu!”
Wei Jiameng seemed to be looking at a madman as she sobbed helplessly. “How can he want me? How can empress Chu agree?”
Putting aside whether Fang Yu was willing to marry Wei Jiameng or not, even if he was willing, he would not be able to get past Empress Chu!
He Yi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “If it were in the past, she would not have agreed! However… now that Fang Yuan is in jail, she is eager to save her daughter. There is probably still room for negotiation!”
*
Ever since the car accident and the news of the affair spread, He Yi had not been to Huaxi Park. Of course, the elders of the Yi family had never invited her again.
But on this day, Yi Liangze called early to inform her, “Honey, prepare to go to the courtyard for dinner tonight! I have helped you to decide on the matter. There’s no need to discuss it!”
He Yi could not help but laugh. He knew that she might be a little emotional since she had not returned to Huaxi Park for so long. To shut her up, he might as well kill her first and report later. Moreover, he used the joke she had made with him the other day. This guy was cunning.
However, she did not expose him. She smiled and said, “Since you have already made the arrangements, then we’ll go!”
“My wife is sensible!” Sure enough, Yi Liangze heaved a huge sigh of relief. At the same time, he did not forget to kiss her. “Kiss for my wife!”
After hanging up the phone, He Yi played with the pen in her hand and silently thought about something.
*
He Yi changed into the most festive red embroidered dress. She asked Sue to specially design her hair and makeup. She dressed like a bride as she held Yi Liangze’s arm, she happily returned to Huaxi Park with her two children.
He Yi was a very sensible daughter-in-law. Even though she had been wronged, she did not show it on her face at all. When she saw her elders, she still greeted them respectfully. Even Su Yuzhi did not seem to be neglecting her.
Because the real culprit had been caught in the poison case and He Yi had been cleared as a suspect, Su Yuzhi could not continue to avoid her. She changed into a smile, and politely replied, “He Yi is back! I haven’t seen you for many days. You should come home more often when you have nothing to do. The old man and the old lady are looking forward to the return of their great-grandchildren!”
As expected, seeing Su Yuzhi speaking to her so politely and friendly, the elders of the Yi family showed satisfied and appreciative smiles on their faces.
Because Su Yuzhi had always been virtuous and magnanimous, her husband, Yi Xianzong, liked her very much, and her in-laws were also very satisfied with her, they still respected her views and feelings on everything.
“I’ve been in some trouble recently. I was afraid of bringing bad luck home, so I didn’t come back!” He Yi was blunt and didn’t deliberately avoid it. “Now that the truth is out, I’ve cleared my name once again. The person who harmed me has been controlled. I’m just waiting for the court to announce the verdict!”
After saying this, Su Yuzhi didn’t have any special reaction. However, Fang Yaqin couldn’t hold it in anymore. She waved to He Yi and said, “He Yi, I have a few words to say to you in private!”
Su Yuzhi covered her mouth and said with a smile, “But you two are having intimate conversations. I can see that your in-laws are different!”
These words amused Old Lady Yi. “When Ziqiao comes back to the country, I’ll find you a daughter-in-law. If your in-laws don’t have anything to say, you can have intimate conversations!”
“Aiyo, that’s great! Don’t bring home a foreign daughter-in-law. I can’t understand what they are saying!” Su Yuzhi was usually quick-witted and very likable to old people.
This time, everyone present laughed. Even Yi Jingye couldn’t help but laugh.
He Yi’s eyes flashed and she asked, “When will Ziqiao return to the country?”
She had privately inquired about Yi Ziqiao’s whereabouts with Yi Liangze. She only knew that he was studying abroad and was unwilling to talk about other things. Later, after her repeated inquiries, she found out that Yi Ziqiao had made a big mistake and was sent to study abroad by the elders of the Yi family.
Yi Ziqiao did not have any means of communication with the outside world in the closed military-managed school. It was equivalent to being isolated from the world or, directly, it was like being in prison.
He needed to spend three years in prison there. After he finished his studies, he would receive a certificate from the school before he was allowed to be extradited to the country.
What had Yi Ziqiao done to make the elders of the Yi family so harsh on him? Yi Liangze only said that he had made a mistake that every man would make.
He Yi was a smart woman. Seeing Yi Liangze’s vague words, she did not make things difficult for him. When Yi Ziqiao returned, she could ask him in detail.
“Soon!” When Old Lady Yi mentioned Yi Ziqiao, she revealed a kind smile. “He should be able to return to the country in another month or so! I haven’t seen him for three years, so he should have grown a lot taller!”
Yi Ziqiao was only nineteen years old when he left the country. Now that three years had passed, he was already twenty-two years old. He was completely an adult!
“Oh!” He Yi’s clear eyes flickered as if she was deep in thought. In the entire Yi family, probably only Yi Liangze knew that she and Yi Ziqiao were old acquaintances. And she had never thought that this Ziqiao was actually bi Ziqiao.
Who would have thought that the third young master of the Yi family grew up in the welfare garden?

Fang Yaqin said that she wanted to speak to her alone, and she already guessed what she wanted to say.
Chu Piaoyun was at her wit’s end, and the only person she could ask for help was Fang Yaqin. After all, Fang Yaqin was also a member of the Fang family!
He Yi pretended not to know and patiently watched Fang Yaqin’s pretentious gossip. Then, she watched as she pretended to inadvertently lead the conversation in another direction.
“Why would Fang Yuan hire a murderer to frame you? Maybe there’s some misunderstanding!” Fang Yaqin probed. “If she did something foolish, she should be punished! But she’s only nineteen years old… a great youth. If she were to be buried in prison, that would ruin her life!”
He Yi waited patiently for her to finish, then, she slowly reminded, “I was imprisoned for five years in the prime of my youth. Now that I’ve been vindicated, I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel. Liangze has indeed treated me very well. My parents and the elders at home have all treated me very well! Moreover, Fang Yuan’s case has all the witnesses. I didn’t wrongly accuse her of anything! If I could go to jail why can’t she?”
Fang Yaqin was a little embarrassed, she continued, “Mom knows that you’re a sensible and good child. This matter was indeed Fang Yuan’s fault! It’s very likely that she listened to Wen Siling’s bad friends’ incitement and did something stupid! But she’s the Fang family’s young miss after all, and also mom’s biological niece… Your Uncle passed away early, and mom can only do her best to help take care of the three of them…” saying this.., fang Yaqin’s voice was slightly choked, and her eyes were a little red.
He Yi couldn’t play dumb anymore after hearing Fang Yaqin’s words, so she sighed lightly. “Mother should know who instigated this, so I won’t say anything more! But ever since I got together with Liangze, there have been some people who disliked me and tried all sorts of ways to punish me. There was the poisoning case, the accident case, and the one where I was almost killed by a truck in the street! If I condone it once, there will be the next time. I can’t guarantee that my luck will always be so good!”
“Mom knows that you’ve been wronged!” Fang Yaqin gently held her wrist, she continued to persuade her, “The elders in the family also know it very well! If there is a next time for such a thing, even if you want to spare them, mom won’t agree!”
