Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Wan Fang Group was the top company in the real estate industry and it was one of the largest companies in Yun City. The CEO, Chu Piaoyun was a legendary existence.
She was beautiful despite being almost 50 and she possessed an elegant and graceful aura. She had both the looks and the money.
She was the sister of the previous mayor and became the lady of the Fang family after getting married. Although her brother was inspected disciplinary by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Chinese Communist Party, her position in the Fang family was unharmed.
Ever since her husband, Fang Guowei’s death, Chu Piaoyun took over all his duties in Wan Fang Group and she had been contributing and made a name in the real estate industry with her excellent management. Wan Fang Group’s business was not only unaffected because of Fang Guowei’s passing, it became even better.
Chu Piaoyun who was just done with the directors’ meeting was about to walk out of the meeting room when her secretary, Shang rushed to her.
“Miss Su called, she said that there’s an emergency!” Shang handed her a phone.
楚飘云听说侄媳妇急着找她,不由微蹙蛾眉,略有些不悦.自打侄子楚天翼娶了苏安琪之后,这侄媳妇经常会打电话找她,让她调解夫妻俩的矛盾.
Chu Piaoyun frowned slightly with displeasure when she heard that her nephew’s wife was looking for her. She had been calling her often to solve fights between her and her husband ever since her nephew, Chu Tianyi married Su Anqi.
What Su Anqi referred to as fights were actually trivial matters. Like most women, Su Anqi became insecure after marrying an excellent man, she even had nightmares of him with other women. Besides, Chu Tianyi was rich and handsome so it was only natural that many women flung themselves to him and these were published in the titbits column in newspapers.
As time passed, Su Anqi had been crying frequently and fought with Chu Tianyi because of this. She would call Chu Tianyi’s aunt, Chu Piaoyun to talk and ask her to be the mediator whenever he did not pay attention to her.
It was only natural that Chu Piaoyun became irritated after some time. Not to mention, time was of utmost importance for her and every second counted. She became discontented whenever Su Anqi wasted her time.
Despite so, Chu Piaoyun suppressed her irritation and accepted the call and her expression changed drastically after exchanging a few sentences.
“What? He Yi is released from prison?” Chu Piaoyun’s beautiful eyes bulged with disbelief and she gasped. “Does Tianyi know?”
Su Anqi said something on the phone and the knot on Chu Piaoyun’s brows became even tighter as she listened, her mood was clearly getting worse.
“Unbelievable!” Chu Piaoyun smashed the table and stood up with fury. She continued in a stern tone, “Tianyi has been negligent! This could lead to endless disastrous aftermaths! Not to mention, the Chu family is absolutely reconcilable with the He family! How are we supposed to let this girl who slipped through the net live?”
Shang could not help but shudder as she stared at Chu Piaoyun. Those who provoked the “queen” never ended well! The person named He would be dead meat!

Su Anqi was delighted when she hung up the call.
Although she was dissatisfied that Chu Tianyi spared He Yi, she chose to tell Chu Piaoyun everything so that she would ask her men to finish He Yi. The result would be the same.
Su Anqi heaved a long sigh, her bright eyes filled with joy.
“Aunt Su, I am done practicing the piano. Can I go out to play?” Wan Wan stood timidly behind Su Anqi and asked weakly.
Su Anqi’s delight disappeared almost instantly when she heard her voice. She turned around impatiently and gave Wan Wan an intense loathing gaze.
He Yi’s offspring was undoubtedly a pain to Su Anqi’s eyes. She would have sent her away long ago instead of letting her irritate her here if Chu Tianyi did not sympathize with this child.
“Play? All you do is play!” Su Anqi vented all her anger toward He Yi onto Wan Wan. It was difficult not to despise Wan Wan when her features were so similar to her mother’s. “Can’t you go learn something else after practicing the piano? All you do is fool around, who do you think you are?...”
Wan Wan was already used to Su Anqi’s wrath. Biting her little finger, she became teary-eyed.
Su Anqi’s rage stopped instantly when Chu Tianyi appeared.
Su Anqi only realized that he was standing right behind her. She panicked and retracted her shrewish self before putting on a gentle expression and cling onto him. “Tianyi, when did you come here?”
“You should be more patient to a child.” Chu Tianyi maintained his usual indifferent expression and only uttered those words when Su Anqi was clinging onto him.
Su Anqi tried to laugh it off. “Tianyi, you’ve misunderstood! I’m doing this for her own good! She has a lot to learn since she’s not a kid anymore. It’d be a shame if her laziness costs her future! I might be a little strict, but it’s all for her own good!”
Wan Wan looked at Chu Tianyi teary-eyed as she sobbed, “Daddy, I am done with practicing the piano. Can I go out to play?”
Chu Tianyi looked at her tears coldly and pursed his lips. “Aunt Su is right. You can’t afford to get your studies affected because of laziness. Your tutor will be here soon to teach you other musical instruments and dance. Go wait in the dance studio!”
Tears dropped from Wan Wan’s big eyes as she could not hold them in anymore. She turned and ran toward the studio in anger.
Chu Tianyi wanted to stop her to comfort her as he felt bad.
Su Anqi stopped him hurriedly and put on a smile, “She is turning more and more like He Yi! She’s acting like a princess and cry all the time as if the world revolves around her!”
Chu Tianyi retracted his intention to stop Wan Wan when He Yi was mentioned and his gaze dimmed.
‘She’s just a bastard child with an unknown father! I’m already being compassionate enough for taking her in, there’s no need to provide her too much kindness nor love.’

The police finally realized that Jiang Peng was Wei Jiameng’s husband and it was domestic abuse instead of trespassing and robbery after investigating him for 24 hours.
He Yi was well prepared. She sent the photos she took earlier and the other evidence to the police station and looked for the local women’s federation before going to the court to sue Jiang Peng for domestic abuse and ask for protection from the police.
He Yi completed all those within a day and she got rid of the danger from Jiang Peng with ease. He would not be able to step into the Wei family house to disturb them after the police effected a restraining order even if he was released on bail.
Wei Jiameng did not object throughout the whole process but there was anxiety in her eyes as if the sky was falling down.
She finally voiced out her concern at night, “He’s going to kill me the next time I see him…”
He Yi was sitting in front of the computer firmly to check the photos and evidence to be adduced in court. She lifted the corners of her lips slightly when she realized Wei Jiameng’s worry and she comforted her, “He will be taken by the police if he lays a finger on you again! He will not be able to abuse and oppress you in the name of marriage anymore as long as you are firm in getting the divorce. Do you understand?”
It was unclear whether Wei Jiameng understood. Her eyes became teary as she was unsure of what to do next. “But...I’m not ready yet…”
Although she always hoped that someone could get Jiang Peng in control, she never considered getting a divorce before.
“You don’t have to do anything. I’ll prepare everything for you!” As a law graduate with a law practicing certificate, He Yi was capable of preparing everything for Wei Jiameng’s divorce.
“But…” Wei Jiameng finally mustered her courage and mumbled softly, “Jiang Peng is indeed not a good man, but he is Ge Ge’s father. He is our only support!”
