Chapter 87 - Felt sorry for her (1/2)

After the video and the witness’ confession were submitted to the court, He Yi and Yi Liangze let Baby and Wan Wan drop out of school and play at home, waiting for the transfer of the Elitist private kindergarten to be completed and the school to reopen, then they let the two children enter their kindergarten.

Yi Liangze said that he was worried that Baby would be bored at home, and in order to let him and Wan Wan get to know each other as soon as possible and enhance their brotherhood, he openly took him to Fu Xing Leather Factory and played with Wan Wan by He Yi’s side.

He Yi had no choice but to work while taking care of the children. She had to tell Yi Liangze, “You should go back to the company quickly. I think you should have a lot of things to deal with in the next few days!”

Because she ran the company herself, He Yi knew how busy the president of a company was. These days, Yi Liangze was “Not doing his job” and only cared about her and the children’s matters. He must have neglected a lot of important things.

“I have high-level directors to discuss and solve my matters together with. It won’t be a big problem for me to leave for a while.” Yi LiangzI said. “Let the high-level directors and middle-level managers do what needs to be done. There’s no need to be so considerate.”

“Oh!” He Yi said. However, she couldn’t afford to be careless with the newly opened factory. She couldn’t wait to devote all her time to her career and put the business on the right track as soon as possible. “Deputy factory manager Zhuo is doing his duty. When I left, everything was running as usual. Nothing happened. But… he is not good with words. He does things one-sidedly. His ability to deal with people is almost zero.”

This was a society of people. People like Zhuo Hongzhao who could work and worked hard were often frustrated in the workplace and eventually lost their jobs because they were not good at dealing with people. She had discovered Zhuo Hongzhao’s talent, but she also knew his shortcomings. It was okay to let him manage the factory, but she had to do everything herself to deal with the outside world.

“I’ll send a few professionals over to help you!” Yi Liangze said generously.

“No need. Although everything is difficult at the beginning, this is already the beginning. It will be much easier for the factory to run on the right track.” Although she said that, she really could not relax with the two children around her.

Yi Liangze did not seem to have any intention of helping her take the two children away. He looked at his wrist and said, “I have to go back to the company. Can you hold on? If you can’t hold on, let me know. I will send people over to help you.”

Of course, He Yi was not willing to let him help. Since she was carrying it, she had to carry it to the end.

Before Yi Liangze left, he did not forget to help her come up with an idea. “You can sell Fu Xing’s shares to Kai Kun and you would remain the boss, but the management staff will be replaced by the middle-level of Kai Kun International Group. Nothing else will change.”

Of course, He Yi wasn’t willing either. Then wouldn’t she be left empty-handed? She was far from her goal. What she wanted to do was not to use the opportunity to climb the vines, but to stand tall among tall trees. If she wanted to be a big tree, she naturally couldn’t be afraid of the wind and rain, not to mention that it was just a trivial task. “I’m fine, hurry up and go!”

“I’ll be more relaxed when Baby and Wan Wan go to Kindergarten. It’s been hard on you during this period.” Yi Liangze turned around one stone at a time and was very concerned.

He Yi was helpless. “Got it.”

She was finally looking forward to his departure. When she looked at the two children around her who were unwilling to go anywhere, she could only secretly comfort herself: the difficulties were temporary. When the two children went to school, she would have more free time.

He Yi was busy taking care of the two children, and there were many things that she needed to instruct the people around her to do. Needless to say, Ji Xueshan and Wei Jiameng were also so busy that their feet did not touch the ground.

“He Yi, you don’t know how horrible Deputy Director Zhuo was during this period that you were not around. He ordered me to do everything, and it was so tiring…” Wei Jiameng cried bitterly as she made a posture of massaging her waist, she pouted and added, “I waited so long for you to come back. I thought it would be easier, but it’s still so tiring!”

He Yi was too lazy to respond. She handed her a document. “Print two copies.”

Wei Jiameng took the document and yawned as she turned on the printer. “How did Wan Wan fall and get hurt?”

The wound on Wan Wan’s forehead caused a small flutter. After all, she was He Yi’s, precious baby.

He Yi did not say anything. She pouted her lips and said angrily, “Yang Yang hit me with a slingshot!”

“Yang Yang is a classmate in kindergarten?” Wei Jimeng asked.

“He’s my little uncle. He’s very bad. I’ve never liked playing with him!” Baby stood firmly on Wan Wan’s side. They shared a common enemy. “I’ve already issued a challenge to him. After dinner, we’ll have a duel in the garden!”

Hearing this, Ji Xueshan, who had just entered, was amused. “The Little Warrior is so brave to fight for the Little Beauty!”

He Yi took advantage of the moment when the two children’s attention was turned to Wei Jiameng and Ji Xueshan to quickly do the work at hand.

“Yang Yang is really bad. It hurts to hit people. Baby, don’t fight with him. He’s tall. You can’t beat him!” Wan Wan reminded him worriedly. “I’m fine now. My wound will heal in a few days.”

Baby patted his little chest and said fearlessly, “I’m the elder brother! Daddy said that as an elder brother, I have to protect my sister from being bullied!”

At this moment, Wei Jiameng and Ji Xueshan were instantly fans of the little handsome man. They both gave him a thumbs up. “Baby is an indomitable little man!”

“Auntie He, don’t work. Play with me and Wan Wan for a while!” Baby received countless affections, but he was still not satisfied that He Yi was more focused on work. He pestered her like a puppy that wanted to be pampered.

“Be good, Auntie must finish reading this document.” He Yi could only reach out a hand to hold Baby. She was afraid that he would wrinkle the document. Boys were always a little naughty, unlike Wan Wan who was quiet.

“Baby, you should change and start calling me Mommy.” Wei Jiameng deliberately squinted her eyes and teased him, “Your father is going to marry me to be your Mommy.”

Baby was very supportive of this, but he still insisted, “I can only call you mommy after Auntie marries Daddy!”

The little guy still had a bottom line. Therefore, Wei Jiameng and Ji Xueshan laughed and said that to make such a cute little handsome guy called Auntie Mommy, they also wanted He Yi to fix the wedding date with Yi Liangze as soon as possible.

Wei Jiameng even instigated the baby to remind Daddy Yi Liangze to quickly marry Auntie He into the family so he can call her mommy instead.

Baby blinked his big eyes with some disdain. “Daddy and Mommy are going to get married soon, don’t you know?”

“Wow!” Wei Jiameng and Ji Xueshan cried out in surprise, hurriedly forcing He Yi to explain the specific situation.

He Yi was troubled by this large group of people. Helplessly, she put down the document and sighed. “Last night, Wan Wan and I went to the Yi family for dinner. The wedding date is the 28th of April in the Old Calendar, which is also the end of this month.”

This time, no one had the heart to do anything anymore. Especially Wei Jiameng, who was screaming and clutching He Yi’s arm tightly, she was incoherent as she shouted, “I’m breaking down! You didn’t even tell me such a big thing! You’re about to marry into the Yi family and become the young madam, yet you’re still sitting here and working hard. He Yi, are you stupid?” As she said that, she pretended to reach out to touch her forehead.

He Yi knocked away Wei Jiameng’s extended claw and said with a sullen face, “Hurry up and get down to business. You even said that you’re so busy that your back hurts. I think you’re still not busy enough. It’s a waste of time to grind your teeth when you have time.”

After being reprimanded, Wei Jiameng pouted aggrievedly and went to work, she continued to mutter, “I don’t know what you’re thinking. Getting married at the end of this month, especially to a man of young Master Yi’s status, there are so many things waiting for you to be busy with, and you’re actually staying here and constantly studying these leather items. My God, if I hadn’t heard Baby mention it, I wouldn’t have known at all…”

Ji Xueshan couldn’t stand it anymore and reminded her, “The Yi family will naturally arrange the wedding, there’s no need for Sister He to worry about it.”

It made sense. Wei Jiameng was very happy again. “He Yi, how lucky you are! You can even marry a man with a noble status like young Master Yi with Wan Wan. Everyone in the Yi family is willing to accept you. It seems that as long as you’re outstanding enough, it doesn’t matter whether you’ve been married or had a child.”

While she was happy for He Yi, she also had confidence in her future. At first, she was worried that she wasn’t good enough for Fang Yu, but with He Yi’s successful example, she felt a hundred times more confident.

He Yi didn’t think much of Wei Jiameng’s self-talk. She pressed the enter key and settled on a business email. Then, she turned to Ji Xueshan and instructed, “The first batch of leather made from wild pigeon feces should be ready. Tell Manager Zhuo to prepare a few samples and send them over!”

“Oh my God!” Wei Jiameng shouted unhappily. “He Yi, did you hear what I said?”

He Yi turned to look at her helplessly and said truthfully, “Jiameng, stop fooling around. I’m really busy!”

“What are you busy with?” Wei Jiameng was so aggrieved that she was about to cry. “You’re about to become the young madam of the Yi family. Do you have to work so hard? This broken factory is nothing compared to Kai Kun!”

“Jiameng!” He Yi could not help getting angry. “This is the business that Dad left behind. It’s my only hope to revitalize the He Corporation! I’ve put in so much effort and have great potential for development. What’s a lousy factory? To think that you’re my best friend. How can you say such things?”

Seeing the two of them arguing, Ji Xueshan quickly tried to persuade them.

Wei Jiameng felt wronged and sad. She sobbed and cried.

He Yi didn’t know how to explain it to Wei Jiameng. Could she say that she didn’t think highly of this marriage? Could she say that it was more reliable to rely on her efforts in everything? Or it could be said that she and Wei Jiameng’s worldviews were completely different. They were birds of a feather, but completely different channels.

Fortunately, at this time, He Yi’s cell phone rang, temporarily diverting her attention. She suppressed the anger in her heart and picked up the call. After hearing a few sentences, her expression changed. “Someone is causing trouble in the VIP Lounge!”

On the way back to the Kai Kun Tower, Yi Liangze kept his head down and remained silent. After an unknown amount of time, he looked up at Xiao Chi who was driving in front, and asked without thinking, “Am I going too far by doing this?”

Xiao Chi, who was focused on driving, was shocked and almost made a wrong turn on the steering wheel. He quickly observed Yi Liangze’s expression from the rearview mirror, and after some consideration, he answered carefully, “Young master’s actions have their reasons!”

Xiao Chi had been by Yi Liangze’s side for so many years, and he was used to Yi Liangze’s decisiveness. He had never been worried about gains and losses, and he would never ask for a driver’s opinion. Yi Liangze’s sudden question gave him a scare.

“I know she’s very busy, but I deliberately left the two children by her side. I also know that she has encountered a troublesome matter… actually, I can help her solve it, and she doesn’t need to personally run over. But…” Yi Liangze wasn’t talking to Xiao Chi, it was more like he was talking to himself. Because his heart was a little confused. It was unbelievable that the CEO of Kai Kun, like all men who fell in love for the first time, would do something crazy and unreasonable for the woman he loved.

He admired her independence and ambition and also admired that she could run a leather factory that had been closed for many years in a short period with vigor and vitality. But it was also because of this that he felt uncertain. She was too independent, too strong, and too good. Strong and self-reliant, she didn’t have to be him!

He wished he had more weight in her life. If she wasn’t so focused on her career development, she would have more energy and time for him and the children.

In the end, like all men in the world, he agreed with the traditional pattern of husband and wife. Women, of course, were far more important than career development.

But he could also see that He Yi would rather give up on him than give up on her career, there was no doubt about that. He didn’t dare be as hard-line as his father Yi Jingye to ask her to sell all her business and come home to be a good wife and mother. He could only try to keep her busy and make her realize how difficult it was for a woman to take care of both her family and her children, perhaps she would suddenly wake up and be willing to readjust the focus of her life after marriage.

Having been in the business world for many years, Yi Liangze had already mastered a lot of tricks. But when he used these tricks on He Yi, he felt a strong sense of guilt and…heartache!

That’s right, heartache!

Was she too tired? Would she be exhausted? Would she…?

Thinking of this, he impatiently took out a cigarette and lit it. Took a deep breath and slowly exhaled the smoke ring. White smoke rose like his chaotic and unpredictable emotions.
