Chapter 67 - Couldn’t afford to lose anymore (1/2)

It wasn’t even the end of school yet, but Wan Wan walked out of the kindergarten. He Yi was waiting for her outside.

“Wan Wan.” He Yi’s expression seemed a little tired, but when he saw Wan Wan, she couldn’t help smiling. “Come here!”

Wan Wan walked to He Yi’s side, feeling a little strange. “School hasn’t ended yet, why are you here to pick me up?”

“Let’s talk about it after we get in the car.” He Yi’s tone was very light, so light that it was like a sigh that went with the wind.

He Yi drove the car into Xingyue bay once again and stopped at the door of her former home.

“Mom, you… Are You taking me home?” Wan Wan looked at the familiar door and was indescribably surprised. Her small body started to tremble slightly.

He Yi sat there without moving. The gaze she cast at the door was cold and sorrowful. After a moment of silence, she said, “Wan Wan, do you know whose house this is?”

“It’s Dad’s!” Wan Wan’s answer was very definite without any doubt.

He Yi coldly curled the corner of her mouth and suppressed the fury and hatred in her heart, she said coldly, “This is the house your grandfather left behind. The bricks, tiles, plants, and furniture inside… were all set up by your grandfather. Your mother loved to play on swings, so he specially sent someone to fly the swings straight from France. Your mother loved to play the piano, so he specially set up the piano room for me… Your mother spent a happy childhood in this family, a happy youth until she grew up to be the Golden Rose of Yun City’s upper-class society.”

“Oh.” Wan Wan blinked her big eyes, looking a little lost. “I’ve never heard father mention Grandpa.”

He Yi gritted her teeth, determined not to express any dissatisfaction toward Chu Tianyi in front of Wan Wan. She took a deep breath and continued, “Later, your mother and Grandpa were schemed against. The He Corporation went bankrupt and was auctioned off. All the assets and real estate under Grandpa’s name were seized and auctioned off…”

“What about grandfather?” This was the first time Wan Wan heard about her grandfather, and it was also the first time she took the initiative to ask about him.

He Yi could hear the concern in the girl’s tone. She turned her head and looked back, she smiled sadly. “Before Wan Wan was born, grandfather passed away. However, he had always loved me deeply, and he also loved Wan Wan deeply. Even in the peaceful and prosperous times, he still made plans for us- mother and daughter. He prepared real estate for us just in case, and registered it under my name! However, the He Company was gone, and even the home that grandfather left behind… became someone else’s home! Now, we have a home that we can not return to, so we can only watch at the door. Grandfather is also watching from the side. He’s just as unhappy as mother!”

After a long while, Wan Wan asked softly, “Did father occupy grandfather’s home?”

He Yi’s heart trembled. What a smart child. She had to be very careful when speaking in front of her. Using all her strength, she squeezed out a faint smile. “It doesn’t matter. After all, Grandpa’s house is being auctioned. It’s the same for everyone. If your father doesn’t buy it, it will belong to another buyer.”

“Oh.” Wan Wan was relieved. “It’s fine as long as it’s not Daddy’s company!”

He Yi clenched her fists and allowed her nails to dig into her flesh. The pain forced her to make up her mind. “Wan Wan, you are the only descendant of the He family. Your grandfather’s assets will be inherited by you in the future. Therefore, you must help your grandfather get back the lost assets and the house that originally belonged to us. This is your unshirkable responsibility and obligation. Do you understand?”
