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.

*

After He Yi left, Wei Jiameng started to complain about her dissatisfaction with Ji Xueshan. “Do you think He Yi is stupid? There is such a good man like Young Master Yi who wants to marry her, yet she doesn’t hurry to dress up and take care of herself. She is prepared to marry into a rich family, yet she is still holed up in this leather factory, working so hard that even we are half-dead from exhaustion! I feel that she has changed a lot after she got out of prison. She has become so dictatorial that she would not listen to the advice of others. I am really worried about her. If this continues, Young Master Yi would be annoyed with her. Moreover, after marrying into the Yi family, would she still be allowed to do business outside? She seems not to understand the situation at all. She doesn’t know what is more important!”

Ji Xueshan took care of the two children while comforting Wei Jiameng. “Sister He is a strong woman. Perhaps she feels that it is better to rely on herself than on others.”

“Any hair from the Yi family is thicker than her waist. If she doesn’t keep her eyes on the big cake of Kai Kun and only cares about the small profits in front of her, she is blinded by a ghost! Moreover, Young Master Yi is such an outstanding man. You even have a crush on him, let alone a woman outside. If he is seduced by someone, she won’t be able to cry even if she wants to.” Wei Jiameng was worried for He Yi.

Ji Xueshan’s face immediately turned red and she hurriedly argued, “What nonsense are you talking about? Who has feelings for Young Master Yi! Wei Jiameng, you should at least have a limit to your words! Young Master Yi is Sister He’s fiancé, how can you make such a joke?”

Seeing that Ji Xueshan was worried, Wei Jiameng realized that her words were a little rash. But she couldn’t take back what she had said, not to mention that she didn’t think that she was wrong. “Forget it. That day when I went to the hospital, I saw you staring blankly at the flower basket that young master Yi had sent. You had thrown away the bouquet that Sister He had sent. Although the flower basket that young master Yi had sent had also withered, you still kept it as if it was a treasure. That day when I went to your dormitory, I saw that you still had that flower basket…”

“Wei Jiameng!”Ji Xueshan could not bear it any longer and jumped up. “I just thought that the flower basket was pretty to keep for fun. How could you… how could you make such a connection? You’re simply delusional!”

After saying that, to express her anger and dissatisfaction, she slammed the door and left.

Wei Jiameng was even sadder. She cried out loud. “They all bully me. They don’t like me. They all hate me!”

Seeing that Wei Jiameng was crying, Baby and Wan Wan quickly came over to comfort her.

“Auntie Wei, don’t cry anymore. Let me wipe it off for you.” Baby passed a tissue to Wan Wan in a gentlemanly manner.

“Auntie Wei, don’t cry anymore! I’ll ask Mommy to bring you delicious food when she comes back!” Wan Wan coaxed.

Taking the tissue to wipe her tears, Wei Jiameng complained to Wan Wan in a wronged manner, “Your Mommy dislikes me for being useless and also dislikes me for being lazy.”

Wan Wan blinked her big eyes and said sensibly, “Baby, and I will help you with your work. This way, mommy won’t find you lazy when she comes back.”

“…” Wei Jiameng looked at the two cute children who were eager to help her with her work. They didn’t complain or complain about being tired, but she had been sitting here crying and moaning nonstop. She suddenly felt that she was a little lazy.

*

He Yi rushed to the VIP building and saw a group of more than ten hoodlums who were fierce, rolling up their sleeves, and ready to fight.

Manager Zhang ran over in a panic, he whispered the whole story, “These people asked for a private room and ordered more than 5,000 yuan worth of food and wine. They said that they ate hair and flies and insisted that we pay a million yuan compensation. Otherwise, they would destroy the restaurant.”

Hearing this, He Yi concluded that these people were here to cause trouble.

She had expected it from the day boss Chen asked for a refund! Since the Chu family had threatened boss Chen to give up the lease, they would take revenge on him if he didn’t comply. Boss Chen couldn’t afford to offend the Chu family, so he could only bear the pain and spit out the fat meat that was in his mouth. He Yi thought of a compromise. On the surface, boss Chen would give up the lease and she would take over the management of the VIP restaurant, but in reality, boss Chen would still be the boss. She was just a senior worker hired by him.

He Yi was very clear that the Chu family would not let them go, regardless of whether it was boss Chen or her who ran the restaurant. However, this day came later than she had imagined.

The Chu family probably wanted to take care of her first before starting to destroy the restaurant’s business. They did not expect that she would be lucky enough to escape death several times. The Chu family was unable to vent their pent-up anger and finally attacked the VIP restaurant.

He Yi smiled coldly and was very calm. “Oh, so you ate something dirty? This matter can be discussed. If the restaurant is responsible, we will comply with your request.

When these words were said, those hoodlums were a little surprised. They looked at each other. They did not believe it. They asked for a exuberant price of one million yuan as compensation. It was simply nonsense. They did not expect that the other party would agree!

After confirming that He Yi was not joking, the gangsters immediately became excited. With a million yuan in compensation, everyone could get close to 100,000 yuan -they were rich!

But reality proved that in front of He Yi, it was best not to be happy too early.

When the gangsters’ eyes lit up and their momentum dissipated, He Yi changed the topic, she continued, “However, this matter needs to be verified! Manager Zhang, get someone to pull up the surveillance cameras in the private rooms. I remember that each private room has at least four cameras. There are no blind spots. Let’s see when they ate the hair and the flies.”

When she said this, the gangsters were shocked, and even manager Zhang was surprised. Since when were there four cameras installed in the private rooms of the hotel? The kind that was suitable and had no blind spots?

The gangsters were agitated and began to curse, “F*ck, we were just scaring the kids! Who would believe it?”

“Exactly, there are four cameras. I’ve never heard of a hotel that has so many cameras!”

“Hurry up and take it out. If there aren’t any, the compensation will be raised to five million!” The gangsters raised the price on the spot, clearly saying that they would not give up until they turned the place upside down.

He Yi’s expression did not change. She nodded with certainty. “Of course!”

Looking at her cold and calm expression, the hooligans were a little uneasy. Even a man would panic when faced with such a situation. Where did this woman’s confidence come from? How could she be so sure?

Sure enough, He Yi’s certainty was not arrogance, but fearlessness.

Very soon, manager Zhang walked over with his chest puffed out and his head raised. He regained his original demeanor. “There are at least four cameras in every private room of our restaurant. There are no blind spots in all aspects. The entire dining process can be seen clearly! Halfway through your meal, you stuffed your hair and flies into the soup and even took a bite back. This is extortion! We’ve already called the police. We’ll decide how to deal with it when the police arrive.”

As soon as these words were said, the hoodlums immediately exploded. They didn’t want to wait for the police to come and deal with them. The timid ones were already prepared to run away, but the leader was still unwilling to give up, he shouted, “Who are you trying to fool? Do you think we’re all fools? Show us the video evidence!”

He Yi ignored them and turned to manager Zhang. “Looks like they won’t give up until they see the evidence. Let’s show them.”

Manager Zhang immediately played the video he had just copied on his phone. The clip was the process of the hoodlums secretly adding more ingredients to the soup.

At this point, they knew that the situation was over. They couldn’t say anything more. One by one, they slipped away quickly. In the blink of an eye, they were all gone.

He Yi looked at them coldly. She had no intention of stopping them.

Manager Zhang knew that He Yi did not call the police. She was just trying to scare them.

These hooligans make a big mistake. Even if they called the police, they would only record their statements. At most, they would be detained for three to five days before they were released. That would be even more troublesome. It would be better to scare them away directly. He Yi’s method was the wisest and most convenient way to deal with it. “President He, thank goodness you have thought it through. Otherwise…today’s trouble would have been huge!”

He Yi’s lips curved slightly, she said indifferently, “There will always be trouble in doing business. We have to think of a way to solve it. A few days ago, I tidied up another monitoring room. It was a completely different system from the previous monitoring room. Usually, the previous monitoring room would be used as the standard. Only when there was trouble like today would the new monitoring room be used. Be careful, the location of the new monitoring room is confidential. The fewer people know, the safer it will be. Otherwise, this trump card won’t work!”

Manager Zhang nodded repeatedly and complimented, “President He, you’re thoughtful. No Wonder President Chen was willing to entrust you with such a heavy responsibility and leave the restaurant to you to manage. You are indeed a trustworthy person.”

Night Banquet, Japanese-style Teahouse.

When Yi Liangze heard that He Yi had easily settled the incident at the restaurant, he was drinking tea with the eldest young master of the Wen family, Wen Li’an, in the exclusive Japanese-style teahouse.

A beautiful young girl was kneeling on the tatami to set up a tea ceremony. Her technique was skillful. She washed the tea, woke up the tea, brewed the tea, shook the incense… Judging from her technique, she was an expert in the tea ceremony.

This was a tea lady who was hired from Yunnan for the night banquet. She is required to be a virgin and had a beautiful appearance. The key was to master the tea ceremony to perfection. Legend had it that the tea brewed by such a tea lady was exceptionally fragrant.

Of course, the service price of this lady was almost sky-high.

At this moment, Qi Lin stood there somewhat awkwardly, he explained, “I had little five prepare long ago. He gathered dozens of brothers and was just waiting for those hooligans to smash the shop and rush in to help! I didn’t expect sister-in-law to rush over. After she entered, we waited and waited, but we didn’t hear anything. After waiting for a while, we saw those hooligans rushing out. Each one of them ran faster than the last, and in the blink of an eye, not a single one was left!”

Putting down the teacup in his hand, Yi Liangze was puzzled and curious. “Tell me, what method she used.”

“I heard that she had people install at least four cameras in every private room of the restaurant. The entire process of the customers eating can be seen clearly from all angles. It’s impossible to cheat them.”

“Ha!” Wen Li’an could not help but laugh. He said to Yi liangze half-jokingly, “Sister-in-law’s trick is very practical. You might as well use it for reference in your private room for the banquet.”

Yi Liangze was both angry and amused. “Who wants to stay under the surveillance at all times? If word gets out, it will affect business. Forget about the restaurant. It’s a public place anyway. If this thing is installed in the private room of the banquet, I guarantee that business will immediately be deserted and there will be no more customers!”

In the end, he was still very helpless against He Yi. She would rather use this method than ask for help from him? She could think logically and cover all the loopholes, but she would not consider him? She would never think that when there was trouble, she could ask him to help her settle it.

“Sigh, sister-in-law is so valiant. She can settle everything on her own. Aren’t you a little useless as a hero?” Wen Li’an was indeed Yi Liangze’s childhood friend. He knew him very well. Seeing Yi Liangze’s helpless expression, he deliberately teased him.

Yi Liangze slowly sipped his tea. After a long time.., he laughed. “This is also quite good! After my big brother left, I fought alone for many years. It would be good if she could help me. Not all women can stand behind men. Your sister-in-law is the one who can walk with me side by side!”

Wen Li’an nodded, he was half-serious and half-laughing. “You’re good, Kid! After so many years of dragging your feet and refusing to start a family, you suddenly announce that you would buy a wife and get two for free. All of a sudden, he has a wife and children! Grandma Yi has always envied my family’s two children. Now, your family is not lacking in anything!”

Wen Li’an was one year older than Yi Liangze, but he married early. He married the daughter of an aristocratic family in Yun City, Pei Jie. After the marriage, the couple had a deep relationship and a daughter and a son. Although the second young master of the Wen family, Wen Yongxiang, had always been famous, young master Wen had no scandals and could be regarded as a role model for the upper-class couples in Yun City.

For this reason, Old Lady Yi was extremely envious and had been urging her grandson, Yi Liangze, to learn from Wen Li’an. She wanted him to quickly get married and give birth to a bunch of great-great-grandchildren for her so that she could be proud in front of Old Lady Wen.

Everything in the world was coincidental. No one would have thought that Yi Liangze would find the baby’s biological mother at the same time as he found the dragon and phoenix twins sister. This was a happy ending for everyone.

However, nothing was perfect. Yi Liangze seemed to have some complaints about the baby’s mother’s overly active career. What was even stranger was that he did not dare to voice his dissatisfaction in front of the baby’s mother. This made Wen Li’an, who was the most familiar with him, astounded.

When did second young master Yi become so hesitant in his actions? It seemed that he had indeed met the person who could subdue him!

“Your sister-in-law is too wise. She never bothered me with matters that she could settle on her own. Alright, let’s continue drinking tea here in peace.” Yi Liangze raised his teacup in self-mockery.

After drinking the tea in the cup, Yi Liangze saw Qi Lin still standing there and hesitating to speak. He could not help but ask, “Do you have something else to do?”

Qi Lin hesitated for a moment and mustered up his courage to say, “Shujun has been in a bad mood recently, and she’s always drinking alone… I saw that she drank too much just now, do you want to… Go over and keep her company.”
