Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
He Yi obtained the rental from the past years from Chu Tianyi successfully and it would not have gone that smoothly if not for Wan Wan. Although the huge amount of 41 million bucks in her account was crucial to her plan of expanding her business in the future, she was racked with guilt for using Wan Wan.
Ji Xueshan drove for almost an hour when He Yi’s dejection finally dispersed. She cald her emotions before instructing her, “We should head to Fu Xing Leather Factory as planned!”
The incident with Wan Wan was an unexpected interlude and their original plan was to go to Fu Xing Leather Factory for business.
He Yi was indeed regretful for not able to get Wan Wan’s custody for the ti being. However, there was no other way to back off than her to be tough.
She had to get revenge for her father and regain her daughter!
She had to persevere without rest to gain the resources to do anything she wanted and defeat the powerful Chu family in Yun City.

Fu Xing Leather Factory was located in the southwest of Yun City with the size of around 40,000 square ters. It used to be one of the most famous leather factories in Yun City and it was owned by the He company.
The factory ceased operation five years ago when the He company winded up because the CEO, He Hanlin passed away from a heart attack. All properties under the He Company should be sold by auction by the courts to pay for debt but the factory was an exception as it was put under He Yi’s na as personal property. Similar to Guibin Hotel, Chu Tianyi rented it out during the ti Hei Yi served her sentence in prison.
However, the tenant had been losing money over bad business and closed down within two years. The factory had been vacant ever since.
He Yi was overwheld with emotions as she stood in front of the rusty iron gate of the factory. She knew that her father loved her genuinely and he had been taking safety precautions like transferring properties with great potential to her despite the He family’s great influence at the ti.
Therefore, the properties under her na were still hers and nothing changed despite that the He Industries went bankrupt, auctioned off and she was imprisoned.
The properties He Hanlin left for her included the Guibin Hotel, Fu Xing Leather Factory, and a gym.
He Yi ca prepared and brought a locksmith.
The locksmith she hired pried open all the locks and installed new ones before handing He Yi a bunch of shiny new keys.
Looking at the keys in her hand and the abandoned factory, she knew that this would be her starting point to the business industry of Yun City and the most important stage in her life.

He Yi beca busy in the next two days.
She worked with the agency company she used for hiring her bodyguard previously to hire professional managent staff and mass factory workers for the leather factory.
He Yi was not familiar with manufacturing leather but she liked it because all the leather products that she used since young were produced from Fu Xing Leather Factory. The He family had a private formula of leather production that was not shared with the public, only an heir of the He family had the right to learn.
He Yi knew that this would not be a lost art although her father passed away because he once told her that the He family’s exclusive formula for leather production was kept in a bank safe under her na with the fees paid for 20 years. She could redeem the precious formula passed down by her ancestors anyti as long as she brought her identification.
Everything starts slow. He Yi knew that long ongoing war was coming and she should not be impatient.
As for now, she had sothing more important to tend to than work. She had to visit Wan Wan!

The Elitist Private Kindergarten.
Since classes were over, all sorts of imported luxury cars stopped near the school gate. It looked like a luxury car show.
All the students there were from wealthy families with great cars as the kindergarten’s fees were extrely high and a normal household would never be able to afford it.
Two won were seated in limited edition Bentley, it was Old Lady Yi and Fang Yaqin.
The more they looked at Wan Wan’s photo, the more shocked they beca. Therefore, they followed the address of Wan Wan’s kindergarten as provided on He Yi’s information docunts to see the girl.
Kids were walking out of the kindergarten compound with their little schoolbags under the teacher’s guidance to be picked up by their parents who were waiting outside.
Su Anqi was on her phone when she got off the car. She seed to be agitated and her tone was filled with anger.
“I’m so mad! Tianyi refused to listen to and gave He Yi all the rent for the past five years!... I know that the hotel is hers, but her father owed Tianyi a big sum and it’s not paid off yet. Aside from the rental, she should just give the hotel to Tianyi! I can’t believe that Tianyi did sothing that stupid just because that brat Wan Wan was crying and that wench provoked him!... Forget about his aunt! Why would the proud Queen Chu be bothered with such a matter? She left the mont she heard that Guibin Hotel is He Yi’s, she didn’t even bother when we offered to give it to her!... Image is most important for her and Tianyi, so He Yi took advantage of it! Mom, honestly, I’ve been depressed for days because of this!”
Su Anqi ignored everyone when the teacher sent Wan Wan and Ke Ke to her and continued complaining to the phone as she was too occupied.
Old Lady Yi who was sitting in the Bentley right beside Su Anqi stared at her for a mont and before turning to Fang Yaqin, “Is that Anqi, Liangze’s distant relative on the phone?”
Fang Yaqin could tell with just one look. “That’s her! She married Chu Tianyi and beca his second wife. Her son is just a month younger than Wan Wan.”
Old Lady Yi frowned and scoffed with disdain, “Like mother like daughter!”

Wan Wan held Ke Ke and walked to Su Anqi. She chose not to disturb her stepmother and stood there silently when noticed that she was in a bad mood due to her agitated tone on the phone.
“Goodness! 40 million bucks just went into that wench He Yi’s pockets! Queen Chu is blaming for not making things clear and tainted her image! Even Tianyi is blaming for being nosy and he’s been ignoring ! I am not going to let this go easily!” Su Anqi continued complaining endlessly to her mother Su Yuzhi about her resentnt toward Chu Tianyi and Chu Piaoyun, ignoring the two children despite noticing them there.
Wan Wan was unaffected because she was used to getting ignored. On the other hand, Ke Ke was unwilling and held Su Anqi’s legs to ask for a hug.
Su Anqi had to tend to Ke Ke whilst talking to the phone so Wan Wan was naturally neglected.
Then, Wan Wan saw soone waving at her from a distance.
She blinked her huge eyes in confusion before recognizing that it was He Yi. She beca hesitant for a while, unsure of whether to go to her.
He Yi took out a pretty teddy bear and waved it to attract Wan Wan. Indeed, she ran over as expected.
“Aunt,” greeted Wan Wan timidly.
The smile on He Yi’s face froze and she wanted to correct her. However, she ended up not saying anything. She placed the new teddy bear into Wan Wan’s arms and asked her gently, “Do you like it?”
Wan Wan took the teddy bear and looked at it before answering, “I have many teddy bears!”
“This one is different, I gave it to you! I guessed that you’re going to like it as the one daddy gave you!” He Yi asked confidently, “Am I right?”
Wan Wan held the teddy bear and looked up to stare at He Yi’s fair, beautiful face. She mustered up her courage and asked in an extrely soft voice, “Are you my Mommy?”
