Chapter 93 - 03. Scheming (1/2)

“If it’s your arrangement, remember to inform me next time. Don’t keep me in the dark!” He Yi reminded him lightly.

Yi Liangze was silent for a while, probably trying to figure out the meaning behind her words. In the end, he was still uncertain. “Chu Tianyi… did he find you?”

As expected, he was a man as cunning as a fox. If there was anything unusual, he would be the first to sniff it out. He Yi smiled. “Are you desperate?”

“Yes!” Yi Liangze was surprised to hear that she was not surprised at all and was certain that something had happened. “You know everything!”

“Yes,” He Yi said truthfully after some hesitation. “Chu Tianyi called me.”

“What did he say?” Yi Liangze’s tone was a little severe. Even though they were on the phone, He Yi could imagine the way he narrowed his eyes.

“He said he wants to see Wan Wan!”

*

Just because Chu Tianyi said he wanted to see Wan Wan, Yi Liangze immediately doubled the security around Wan Wan. He was determined not to let Chu Tianyi have the chance of finding her.

He Yi believed that Yi Liangze could protect the child very well, so she didn’t have to worry. Therefore, for the time being, she didn’t let Wan Wan go back to the Leather Factory.

When she called Wan Wan that night, Wan Wan’s tone was still quite calm. She didn’t make a lot of fuss about coming back, so she was relieved.

After all, people around her valued her feelings. Yi Liangze spent more time with Wan Wan, so he gradually became familiar with her. In addition, he was patient and never made Wan Wan sad. As time passed, Wan Wan naturally accepted him.

This was He Yi’s thought. She wasn’t sure about Wan Wan’s true thoughts.

*

Yi Liangze was very happy with the evidence of Chu Tianyi using the company to launder money. However, what made him feel strange was that Chu Tianyi didn’t seem to have any intention of escaping. This made Yi Liangze, who wanted to secretly send people to catch him, somewhat disappointed.

Yi Liangze had naturally always viewed this person as a thorn in his flesh. He would only be able to get rid of this thorn in his heart when he had removed him.

Qing Xing soaked a pot of Maojian and poured a cup for Yi Liangze and Yu Shujun.

Yu Shujun waited patiently for Yi Liangze to hang up the phone and asked, “Is the matter of Rong Yi settled?”

“Yes, it’s almost done!” Yi Liangze nodded and took a sip of tea.

“Congratulations!” Yu Shujun blinked her eyes. “You’ve completed an important mission!”

Yi Liangze looked at Yu Shujun and sighed. “It’ll be great when I find big brother again!”

Over the years, he had completed many missions, including finding Baby’s mother and even obtaining a daughter by accident. However, he still couldn’t find big brother Yi Jiahao! It was as if he had vanished from this world, never to be seen again!

“One day, we’ll find him!” Yu Shujun looked at him with a determined expression. “Someone recently discovered Wang Han’s whereabouts!”

“Oh!.” Yi Liangze was indeed very interested in this news. “Where?”

“Near the border.” Yu Shujun hesitated for a moment and said, “But she seems to have learned the art of disguising herself and often changes her appearance. No one knows her true appearance now!”

As the two spoke, a service lady came in and reported, “Young Master Fang is here!”

When Yi Liangze heard that Fang Yu was here, he wanted to say a few words to him, so he said, “Let him come over!”

When Fang Yu came in, he was still in his usual casual manner, but he was attracted to the Qing Xing the moment he entered the tea room. He shouted exaggeratedly, “Second brother, when did you find such a peerless beauty!”

Yi Liangze rolled his eyes. “I heard that you’ve been busy dating recently, so why do you always look like a pervert? You’re not promising at all!”

“Heh, you’re quite well-informed!” Fang Yu sat down without an invitation. He picked up a piece of honeydew on the fruit plate and bit into it, but his eyes were still fixed on the Qing Xing.

No matter how intense Fang Yu’s eyes were, Qing Xing lowered her head and looked away as if she didn’t see him.

Yi Liangze reprimanded, “Wei Jiameng is He Yi’s best friend. Be careful, kid. You’re not allowed to do things that end up being forsaken!”

“Aiya, it’s just a relationship.” Fang Yu disapproved. “She didn’t give birth to a pair of twins for me like sister-in-law did. I’m just playing with her.”

“Okay, quickly break up with her.” Yi Liangze instructed.

“Sure!” Fang Yu agreed very quickly. Just as Yi Liangze was feeling surprised, he pointed at Qing Xing who was kneeling on the futon, and said with a smile, “If you give her to me, I’ll break up with Wei Jiameng.”

Yi Liangze looked at Qing Xing, and Qing Xing just happened to raise her head and their eyes met. He was stunned.

Qing Xing’s gorgeous face was as cold as ice, and her beautiful eyes were even colder. That cold and elegant aura were unfamiliar. “Young Master Fang, please have some self-respect. Qing Xing is a tea girl, and she’s not a prostitute!”

“Sigh.” Fang Yu stared at Qing Xing, and his mouth started to drool. “Tsk, tsk, she looks so iconic. She’s so cold and arrogant… she does resemble someone’s character!”

Yi Liangze’s heart skipped a beat because Fang Yu’s words had hit the nail on the head. He also realized that Qing Xing’s cold and indifferent expression was somewhat similar to He Yi’s.

In the face of Fang Yu’s teasing, Qing Xing was not moved at all. She only turned her head away coldly, her eyes revealing disgust and disdain.

“Fang Yu, you should be a little more promising!” Yi Liangze tried to smooth things over at the right time. “Don’t just focus on being lecherous all day. You should also learn to help manage the business at the company!”

When it came to managing the business, Fang Yu looked like he had a headache. For the time being, he forgot about teasing Qing Xing. He only complained to his cousin “My mother recently started suffering from menopausal syndrome and insisted on me working at the company. Working from nine to five is really ha

Yi Liangze smiled and said, “You’re not young either, you should learn to do things. In a few years, Aunt May retire and hand over the company to you to manage.”

“Forget it!” Fang Yu refused to believe it. “How could she hand over the company to me to manage! I’m not interested! Maybe she can only hand over Wanfang’s business when her grandson grows up!”

Yi Liangze was very clear about the inheritance rules of the Chu family. And Empress Dowager Chu’s tyranny was something that everyone in the circle knew.

Wanfang was completely dominated by Chu Piaoyun. Even her own could not dream of getting involved. To completely control Wanfang, Chu Piaoyun even encouraged her son to spend all day drinking and debauchery. She especially gave him a generous bonus just so that he could enjoy himself in peace and not think about serious matters.

How could there be such a power-hungry woman in the world? Even her son was unwilling to tolerate her. She only wanted to monopolize Wanfang by herself. Empress Chu’s nickname was not groundless.

Fang Yu knew his mother. Coincidentally, he was not interested in the management group either. As long as he had enough money to squander, he would not bother to go to the company and have meetings with the directors and shareholders all day long!

“Why don’t you ask about Chu Tianyi?” Yi Liangze looked at Fang Yu thoughtfully.

“His grudge with you has nothing to do with me.” Fang Yu seemed to be afraid that trouble would come to him. He quickly stood up and said, “I’m leaving. I like this tea girl of yours. You can name your conditions. Let me know when you think it through.”

With that, Fang Yu left without a trace.

Yi Liangze’s gaze swept over Qing Xing’s face indifferently and he pursed his lips slightly.

Qing Xing took out a tea needle from the teapot. The sharp tip of the needle was aimed at her beautiful face with a determined expression.

“What are you doing?” Yi Liangze frowned slightly and was a little displeased. “Are you trying to threaten me?”

“Qing Xing doesn’t dare!” Qing xing raised her head and still pressed the tip of the tea needle against her beautiful face, she said resolutely, “Qing Xing is a tea girl, and only serving people who truly love tea! Young Master Fang is a drunkard and a prodigal. If I follow him, it will only taint my body. If I lose my body, Qing Xing is no longer fit to be a tea girl. Anyway, what young master Fang likes is Qing Xing’s face. It’s better to destroy it, then he won’t like it anymore! Qing Xing stays by young master Yi’s side because young master Yi likes Qing Xing’s tea-making skills! A gentleman who knows his friends will die, would not their return!”

Yi Liangze was shocked by Qing Xing. What a strong-willed woman. She was also extremely smart. She knew very well what kind of fate she would have when she was by Fang Yu’s side, so she did not hesitate to want to disfigure herself to get rid of this fate of being a plaything.

The tea girl naturally had the dignity of a tea girl. She could be obedient to her master, but she still had her principles and bottom line! To defend her pride, she did not hesitate to try to destroy her appearance with her own hands.

It was precisely this kind of toughness that gave the humble Qing Xing a holy temperament. Her cold and pretty appearance stunned Yi Liangze.

Yu Shujun saw that Yi Liangze had been staring at Qing Xing, she quietly reminded him, “There are so many beautiful women at the Banquet. Why do you have to give Qing Xing to young master Fang to trample on? Why don’t you choose someone as good-looking as Qing Xing and send her over? This will preserve the girl’s innocence and dignity. With this child’s strong character, if we insist on forcing her, I don’t think it’s as simple as just disfiguring her face.”

If she was forced into a corner, she might even give up her life!

Yi Liangze came back to his senses and nodded slightly. There was a hint of admiration and amazement in his eyes as he looked at Qing Xing. He really couldn’t tell that the usually submissive girl would actually be so strong-willed at the critical moment and would rather die than submit.

No wonder she was still a pure and innocent tea girl even after being given a few rounds by the tea masters.

“Qing Xing!” Yi Liangze curled his lips and said, “You can put down the thing in your hand now!”

Qing Xing looked at Yu Shujun, who was beside her as if she still couldn’t believe it.

Yu Shujun smiled and said, “Young master Yi promises not to send you away. Hurry up and put down that needle. It would be a pity if you hurt your pretty face.”

After confirming that the danger alarm was gone, Qing Xing released her pink fist. The tea needle slipped onto the carpet. She hurriedly went to pick it up, but Yi Liangze took the initiative to help her pick it up.

“Thank you, Young Master Yi!” Tears flashed across Qing Xing’s beautiful eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let the tears condense and fall. “Qing Xing is willing to serve young master Yi wholeheartedly!”

Yi Liangze handed her a stack of tissues and said tenderly, “Don’t cry anymore.”

When Qing Xing received the tissues, she accidentally touched Yi Liangze’s big hand. She quickly withdrew her hand, and her beautiful face flushed red from embarrassment.

“This child, although she is proficient in the way of tea, is too shy! If it weren’t for today’s incident, I’m afraid we wouldn’t have noticed her!” Yu Shujun said with some sympathy.

Yi Liangze’s eyes were filled with warmth as he praised, “She’s not a bad girl!”

*

After Yi Liangze left, Qing Xing raised her eyes and looked at Yu Shujun.

Yu Shujun put down the teacup and praised her, “You did well!”

Qing Xing was a little worried. “Will Young Master Yi like me? Will he keep me around forever?”

“If you become his woman, he will keep you around!” Yu Shujun looked at the beautiful Qing Xing and comforted her. “You are so beautiful. Any man will be tempted. The key is how to make him notice you!”

1

“How did you know that he would help me?” Qing Xing was a little confused.

Yu Shujun was even more confident about this. “As long as you know that doing this will make Young Master Yi notice you, or even make you his woman, Young Master Fang will naturally be willing to do this!”

“What… What benefits does he want?” Qing Xing still did not understand.

“If you become young master Yi’s woman, he will lose the love he has for He Yi. That is of course what young master Fang wants to see.” A crafty glint flashed across Yu Shujun’s beautiful eyes. Only by understanding everyone’s psychology could one borrow strength and win easily and beautifully.

After hearing the news that Wen Siling was preparing to go abroad to study. Chu Chu and Fang Yuan immediately contacted her and invited her to meet in a coffee shop.

The three daughters of wealthy families gathered together. They were young, beautiful, and had an illustrious background. No matter where they went, it was a beautiful sight. However, it was not convenient for them to be very flashy at this moment. They all wore sunglasses when they entered the Cafe.

They found a quiet private room by the window and pulled down the curtains. Only then did the three girls take off their sunglasses.

“I’m going to be killed by that B*tch He Yi. She’s always up to something, and recently I don’t even dare to go out!” Chu Chu threw her sunglasses to the side hatefully, her face filled with fury.

Fang Yuan and Wen Siling noticed that Chu Chu had put on makeup. They immediately praised her exquisite makeup and even praised her for recovering well.

Although she had been disfigured by He Yi with her high heels a while ago, she was still young, and her healing ability was extremely strong. The condition of the bleeding under her eyes had already recovered, and the wound at the corner of her mouth could no longer be seen. Only a faint scar that had not subsided could still be seen at the corner of her eyes, this had become a source of displeasure for Chu Chu.

She had been proud of her beauty, and now that she had a flaw, she naturally hated He Yi even more.

Hearing her best friends praise her beauty and say that her recovery was very good, that there was no scar at all, she slowly turned her anger into joy. “I also think that her recovery is not bad. If you apply a thicker foundation, you won’t be able to see anything strange at the corner of your eyes!”

After calming down Chu Chu’s emotions, Fang Yuan turned to Wen Siling and said pitifully, “Sister Wen, you wouldn’t be around for some time. Without You, Yun city’s three princesses wouldn’t be complete!”

Chu Chu also chimed in, “Sister Wen, you’re the backbone of the three of us. We can’t do without you. Although cousin Fang Yu wasn’t able to get together with you, the two of us have always supported you.”

“Yes, yes!” Fang Yuan knew what Wen Siling was thinking, thus, she advised, “Sisters are like brothers, and men are like clothes! That playboy of my big brother… It’s not that I, his younger sister, won’t speak up for him. He’s too flirtatious and isn’t a good person. Sister Siling, even if you can’t be my sister-in-law, we’re still good sisters I’ll introduce you to a rich young master who’s even more handsome than my big brother.”

Chu Chu also pleaded, “Sis Siling, don’t go abroad! It’s so boring for the two of us to be left alone. Moreover, your eyes are good and now you are going abroad. The two of us still have to stay here and continue to be bullied by He Yi. How annoying!”

Wen Siling looked at Chu Chu and Fang Yuan and forced a smile. However, she still had not walked out of the shadow of a broken heart. “I just don’t understand what’s wrong with me. Why is Fang Yu Not willing to accept me?”

Fang Yuan sighed. “What’s wrong with Chu Chu? Why can she not be comparable to Hi Yi? Why is Brother Liangze so stubborn? Now, Chu Chu has also thought things through. A falling flower has its ambitions, and water is merciless. You can’t just sit around and waste time. You have to learn from Chu Chu. Don’t be too stubborn.”

Chu Chu felt very uncomfortable when someone said something that hurt her, but at least she could still persuade Wen Siling. “Even if I can’t marry him, I can’t let the B*tch be happy! I just want to kill that B *tch He Yi one day and prevent her marry into the Yi family!”

These words stirred Wen Siling’s thoughts. She laughed coldly. “It’s fine if it’s someone else, but I heard that it’s Wei Jiameng who was divorced with a child. Recently, she has become Fang Yu’s new lover. This is too infuriating!”

“Sister Siling, last time, Chu Chu, cousin-in-law, and I caught Wei Jiameng in the hospital and gave her a good beating. At that time, cousin Tianyi and my mother were both present, and my big brother was also present. He didn’t try to defend her!” Fang Yuan was confident, she advised with certainty, “In my opinion, my big brother is only good to her! When the novelty wears off, he will just throw her to the back of his mind!”

With that said, Wen Siling’s thoughts came alive again, but she still looked disdainful on the surface. “I’ve given up on your big brother! Even if he breaks up with Wei Jiameng, I won’t accept him anymore! However, I would be especially happy to see that B*tch surnamed Wei, abandoned and heartbroken!”

“That’s right! I won’t let them have it easy!”

Because they shared a common enemy, the three women immediately formed an alliance to deal with their common enemy – He Yi!

With a common goal, they naturally became even more united. While eating tea and snacks, they discussed how to deal with He Yi and Wei Jiameng. Just as they were talking happily, Wen Siling’s phone rang. She answered it a few times and her lovely eyes immediately lit up. “Hurry up and send it over!”

After hanging up, Chu Chu and Fang Yuan both asked her what was the matter.

“I’ve received an Express Delivery Document. It has the He family’s secret formula for tanning leather. Let’s not talk about whether this secret formula is real or fake. As long as it’s related to He Yi, we have to be extra careful!” Wen Siling said.

“Yes, we’ll help you scrutinize it!” Chu Chu immediately responded.

She had been so depressed recently. He Yi’s marriage to the Yi family was a foregone conclusion, and the Chu family’s Rong Yi Group was also facing prosecution for malicious embezzlement of the He family’s assets. If the evidence was confirmed, not only would the Rong Yi Group have to cough out a huge sum of money, but her brother Chu Tianyi was more likely to face court charges for financial fraud and go to jail.

Chu Chu hated He Yi to the core. If there was anything she could make He Yi unhappy, she would be very enthusiastic.

Very soon, the driver delivered the express delivery document.

Wen Siling opened the document and pulled out the document with the title ‘He’s secret nitrification technique’. Fang Yuan and Chu Chu immediately gathered around, and the three of them read through the secret formula together.

When they finished reading it, they came to a sudden realization. “So it turns out that wild pigeon feces is used to make leather for nitrification! No wonder Wei Jiameng carried an entire plastic bucket of bird feces last time!”

Yi Liangze entered the tea room five minutes earlier. Yu Shujun said that the crisp green of the Qing Xing must be tasted in time today. She would rather come five minutes earlier than miss a minute. It just so happened that he had time, so he came earlier.

Like all masters, he did not need to knock on his door to enter his house. Although Yi Liangze knew that Qing Xing was waiting for him inside, he did not think much of it.

However, when he walked in, he saw a lively scene.

The afternoon sun was exceptionally bright. Under the veil, the girl was half-naked. Her eyes were closed as she lay on the Chaise Lounge by the window as if she was asleep. In her fair and beautiful heart, there was a tuft of green tea, which was drying the green tea leaves with the heat of her chest and the heat of the Sun.
