The atmosphere within the booth became tense and the previous laughter was gone.

The chatty women shut their mouths as they knew that Chu Tianyi hated clamor when he was mad.

Chu Tianyi looked around with a stern face before asking coldly, “Who hired those men to follow He Yi?”

Nobody answered. Su Anqi lowered her head subconsciously and her eyes were avoidant.

“Anqi?” shouted Chu Tianyi.

Su Anqi became frightened and denied it quickly. “It wasn’t me!”

Chu Piaoyun interrupted when Chu Tianyi was shooting lasers at Su Anqi with his eyes. “Do you have to get to the bottom of this trivial matter? He Yi is a troublemaker who escaped from the He family, we can’t just let her roam in Yun City without doing anything!”

Chu Tianyi drew the inference from her words and understood that she was the one who sent those men. Since he was not in the position to lash out at Su Piaoyun, he turned to Su Anqi again. “You are the one who told her that He Yi is out of prison, isn’t it?”

That had to be the case.

Su Anqi panicked. She knew that Chu Tianyi was angry from his tone based on her many years of living with him. “It just…slipped out when we were chatting.” Then, she gave Chu Piaoyun a helpless gaze to ask for help.

Chu Piaoyun’s expression was unchanged when she said in a righteous manner, “I will find out sooner or later even if Su Anqi didn’t tell me! Are you planning to hide it from me forever?”

“I hope that this ends here!” Chu Tianyi stared at her aunt and declared in a serious tone. “Aunt, I don’t want Wan Wan to get affected.”

He Yi was still Wan Wan’s mother, after all. Wan Wan would never forgive him after she grew up if they got rid of He Yi.

The others understood Chu Tianyi’s intention and none of them could think of a reason to rebut him.

After all, He Yi who was just released from prison did not have money, power nor connections so she was merely a weak presence. She would not be a threat to anyone present there.

Chu Piaoyun did not oppose Chu Tianyi further after his declaration and she kept quiet despite her internal resentment.

Su Anqi was frustrated. She could not endure that Chu Tianyi still had feelings for He Yi even to this day. ‘No way, I have to find a way to get rid of He Yi.’ She was determined to get rid of her and chase her off Yun City.

He Yi ran out of Guibin Hotel and looked around to see that no one else was stalking her. She heaved a sigh of relief for finally escaping danger.

She was just about to stop a cab when a muscular figure appeared.

“Miss He, let me send you back!” Yi Liangze maintained his elegance and suggested casually.

He knew that He Yi was as poor as a church mouse after getting released from prison so there was no way that she could afford a car. Therefore, he was confident with the answer to his suggestion.

He Yi had to look up to see Yi Liangze. She had to cover her eyes with her hand as she could not adjust to his warm, bright smile after staying in a dark environment for some time.

“What’s the matter?” Yi Liangze tilted his head slightly in confusion.

“The spring sun is blinding.” He Yi gave him a polite smile and replied softly, “I forgot my sunglasses.”

“Oh.” Yi Liangze continued staring at her and suggested, “There’s an eyewear store nearby.”

She became speechless. He was going to take her to get a new pair of sunglasses although she just mentioned it casually! ‘Isn’t this a little too much?’
