Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Wan Wan, I’m going to exchange 41 million bucks for your custody, is that alright?”
He Yi did not have high hopes when she asked the question as she knew that Chu Tianyi would never agree to it, not because he loved Wan Wan but because of his image.
His reputation would definitely be ruined if the news of the Chief Executive Officer of Rong Yi Group selling his daughter’s custody for 41 million bucks went out and he would beco the laughing stock of the whole corporate industry.
He Yi was trying to grab the opportunity to disclose about the continuance of the hotel’s tenancy to get an upper hand so that she could shut the Chu family’s mouths.
Chu Tianyi’s face turned crimson instantly as flas of fury burned within his eyes. He looked as if he wanted to grab He Yi and throw her off with his clenching fists.
“No! I don’t want to leave daddy!” Wan Wan ran to hold Chu Tianyi’s legs hurriedly. As a child, she did not know what the 41 million bucks ant, her only concern was that her father would abandon her. “Daddy, I don’t want to leave you!”
Despite everything was within He Yi’s expectations, she realized the seriousness of the issue when she saw how reliance Wan Wan was on Chu Tianyi. There would be a series of after-effects even if Wan Wan returned to her.
Chu Tianyi who was close to an outburst suppressed his anger because of Wan Wan’s pleas and he bent his towering figure over to carry her. He maintained his composure as he said, “I will not let you go!”
The girl’s cries beca smiles after Chu Tianyi’s assurance, even the wrongs she suffered beca unimportant.
Su Anqi was not happy with the pair’s reconciliation, she almost vomited blood from anger, “Aunt, Tianyi and I wanted to give you the hotel as a gift and yet He Yi turned up and ruined our plan! You can’t forgive her easily!”
Chu Pianyu’s chest rose and fell with anger, her makeup could not cover the crimson rage on her face. “I wouldn’t have wasted my ti on this hotel if I knew that it’s hers!”
She proceeded to leave without saying goodbye to Su Anqi and Chu Tianyi. She was clearly infuriated as she cared about her image a lot.
She swore not to set foot in the hotel again to show how distasteful she was of He Yi.
Su Anqi called her from behind a few tis and gave up eventually when Chu Piaoyun ignored her. She returned and looked at Chu Tianyi with wrong. “Tianyi, she’s mad! This is all He Yi’s fault, you can’t let her off easily!”
A hint of anger flashed past Chu Tianyi’s eyes. Instead of lashing out at Su Anqi, he turned to He Yi and stared at her coldly. One word ca out from his pursed lips after a mont, “Leave!”
He Yi was stunned for a mont before she understood. “You are never going to return Wan Wan to ! You have the hotel’s rental for the past five years, what else do you want? I’ll give you all my money! If you’re not letting Wan Wan go with , can you not take my rental money?”
Chu Tianyi’s face was crimson. He wanted to choke He Yi despite being under the attention of a child’s pure and innocent eyes. “Secretary Qi, transfer 26 million bucks to her and get her to leave at once!”
“No way!” Su Anqi objected firmly. “Tianyi, how can you give her the money? Her father owed you a great sum and these aren’t even enough to cover for the interests! You should ask her to give you all the money she received from the signing of the continuing contract and transfer the hotel to you!”
“That works, too!” He Yi answered imdiately. “I’ll give you the rental and the hotel to you as long as Wan Wan returns to ! Chu Tianyi, do we have a deal?”
Wan Wan grabbed Chu Tianyi’s neck with fear, she was worried that he would give in to the temptation and give her away because He Yi increased the amount. “Daddy, don’t give away! I don’t want to leave you!”
Chu Tianyi choked with anger and ordered Secretary Qi to transfer 26 million bucks to He Yi’s account in front of everyone before turning to his other n, “Get this woman off this place, I don’t want to see her face ever again!”

He Yi left Guibin Hotel and got inside her car. She wiped the tears on her face and ordered Ji Xueshan to drive.
She did not specify the location and Ji Xueshan refrained from asking.
He Yi was in an extrely terrible mood. All she wanted was so distractions.
The convertible car roared down the streets of Yun City. The wind blew He Yi’s tears dry and yet, her dilemma remained.
He Yi finally spoke. “Xueshan, do you think that I’m a bad person?”
Ji Xueshan gave her a glance and thought for a mont before answering her softly. “You didn’t have a choice. Wan Wan would understand when she grows up!”
“I used her!” He Yi mumbled, “I knew that Chu Tianyi would never give her to for the money so I used her as a prop to conduct a show. I got what I wanted but I feel like Wan Wan is more distant from now!”
She was her only family left and yet she used her to obtain money and benefits in order to survive, the relationship between them would never be pure anymore after that. Her love for Wan Wan beca contaminated.
When Wan Wan rejected her and turned to Chu Tianyi’s arms, He Yi knew that there would always be a barrier between the two of them and they would never be close.
He Yi was still not strong enough to fight against Chu Tianyi, she lost to him in both money and family. All she could do was to hold onto any resources she could get to build back the He family’s na and get revenge for her father.
“Blood is thicker than water. Wan Wan will surely understand your reason!” Ji Xueshan paused for a mont before continuing, “Not to ntion, what you fought for is yours in the first place!”
He Yi maintained silent for a mont before giving Ji Xueshan a slight smile with admiration. Then, she asked with concern, “Is your mother doing better?”
Ji Xueshan’s mother had severe uremia and she had to live in the Intensive Care Unit for the long term because she needed ergency treatnt and hemodialysis constantly to stay alive.
A hint of gloom appeared on Ji Xueshan’s beautiful face when her mother was ntioned. She forced herself to lighten up and replied, “She is. Thank you for your concern.”

The tea room on the first floor of the Yi family house.
A pile of docunts and photos were laid out on the coffee table. All of them contained newly-sought information related to He Yi.
As one of the greatest families in Yun City, it was extrely effortless for the Yi family to look into soone.
However, regret was written on Old Lady Yi’s face as she stared at the extrely detailed information and photographs. She gave Fang Yaqin a look before the both of them sighed with disappointnt.
“Sigh! She is a divorcee!”
“Sigh! She has a child!”
“Sigh! She is 28 years old!”
“Sigh! She went to prison and she just got out!”
“Sigh! Her ex-husband is the current husband of Su Anqi, Liangze’s distant relative!”
“Sigh! She is too complexed, we’ll be the laughing stock if this gets out!”
...
They were hopeful toward He Yi and wanted her to seize Yi Liangze’s heart so that he could finally end his single status. They did not expect to get a huge shock from the reports.
They could not accept He Yi who experienced a lot into their family. She was even more complex than Yu Shujun!
In the midst of their disappointnt, Old Lady Yi noticed sothing huge. “Hey, get my glasses!”
She put on her glasses, flipped, and stared at a photo a few tis before giving it to Fang Yaqin and asked, “Look! Don’t you think this baby girl looks extrely similar to Bao Bao?”
