He Yi’s paths were blocked and she was in a desperate situation. Determined, she pulled Wan Wan into the booth. She was prepared for a fight but she did not expect her enemy to be that powerful.

There was a huge round table in the booth with three families equivalent to ten people seated there, Wan Wan not included. Not to mention, most of the people there were He Yi’s enemies!

He Yi’s nemeses Chu Tianyi, his sister Chu Chu, and Su Anqi were seated on the seats of honor whereas Su Anqi’s mother Su Yuzhi and her stepfather Yi Xianzong were seated at the left of the seat of honor. Besides, Chu Tianyi’s aunt Chu Piaoyun and Chu Piaoyun’s children, Chu Tianyi’s cousins Fang Yu and Fang Yuan were seated on the right.

Two boys, Yang Yang and Ke Ke were chasing each other around joyfully instead of sitting still in the booth.

Su Anqi was complaining about how spoiled and inconsiderate Wan Wan was to the guests at the moment. “She has an attitude despite her young age. She is exceptionally fussy and eccentric, exactly like her mother! She acted all pitiful around Tianyi but she showed her attitude to me! She only likes to fool around and she doesn’t like to study. She even slacked on her piano lessons that Tianyi prioritized! Sigh, being a stepmom is hard. I don’t know what to do with her!”

Chu Chu curled her lips and scorned with displease. “It’s fine if she’s just lazy, I can’t believe that she hit others! She didn’t just hit her own brother, she even hit her uncle! She isn’t aware of her position at all! It’s all Tianyi’s fault for spoiling her!”

Su Yuzhi chuckled hurriedly and said pretentiously, “Forget it, she’s a child! There’s no use to fuss over it!”

Despite her words, she did not mention forgiving Wan Wan, nor did she suggest allowing Wan Wan who was standing outside the booth to return to eat.

Chu Piaoyun gazed around sternly before ordering her nephew, “Wan Wan is turning more and more like He Yi! She’s just unlikeable! You should stop taking her to events like these!”

The others expressed their agreement but Chu Tianyi did not reply. Then, Fang Yuan was heard busy with a phone call.

“Hello, Brother Liang… You promised to come, how could you bail? Everyone is waiting for you here! Hurry!… The Ping An Booth on the seventh floor of Guibin Hotel… I’ll be waiting for you, you have to come!” 19 years old Fang Yuan got into a famous university in Yun City last autumn and she was in the best years of her life. She was extremely likable with her sweet appearance and endearing voice.

There was no way that “Brother Liang” on the other end of the call would be tough enough to reject her enthusiastic invitation and he would definitely show up on time.

As expected, Fang Yuan smiled with satisfaction. “Really? You’re the best! I’ll be waiting, love you!” It seemed like he agreed to show up as soon as he could.

Fang Yuan hung up the call with satisfaction before looking up to notice He Yi who was standing right in front of her with Wan Wan in her hand. She got a shock and almost dropped her phone onto the ground.

He Yi entered silently and she heard everyone’s conversations clearly. She had no idea about Wan Wan’s life with Chu Tianyi previously but based on his relatives’ attitude toward Wan Wan, she could tell how lonely, helpless, and attention-deprived she was throughout the years.

She could feel her heart getting torn cruelly and yet she could only force herself to breathe to calm her raging emotions. She would never repeat her stupid past mistakes by acting impulsively after paying the price of five years imprisonment.

“Chu Tianyi, please return Wan Wan to me if you can’t make yourself care for her and provide her an optimum environment to grow up!” He Yi ignored the others at the table and went to Chu Tianyi directly.

Wan Wan was not Chu Tianyi’s biological child. However, he never disclosed it to the public, or else the women’s discussion would not be as simple as criticizing Wan Wan’s character. They would have called her a bastard.

In consideration of Wan Wan’s growth and environment, He Yi could not disclose it to the public either. She could only ask Chu Tianyi to let her take Wan Wan with her.

The crowd was unsure of how to react to He Yi’s sudden appearance. They only stared at her in silence.

Chu Tianyi stared at He Yi coldly but he did not reply. Instead, he turned to Wan Wan and shouted sternly, “Wan Wan, here!”
