Chapter 30: Each With Own Merits

It was a sleepless night.

He Yi started hustling the second morning with dark circles.

She had to go to the agency company with Ji Xueshan to conduct interviews to hire factory staff. On the other hand, Wei Jiameng had to take over the tasks at the leather factory to receive new furniture, machine and conduct a hygiene inspection.

It was meant to be a busy day. He Yi was so occupied that she did not have any time to figure anything outside her tasks.

Yi Liangze’s sudden visit still did not add up to her and she refused to believe the only possible answer. She contemplated for the whole night and decided to let it go temporarily to focus on her work.

Aside from her career and her only family left, nothing else could consume her energy and time, Yi Liangze included!

He Yi was never one to make empty promises. Her blackmail was not an empty threat!

He Yi publicized the clip of Su Anqi abusing Wan Wan to many media platforms after not receiving any reply from Chu Tianyi. The clip stopped at that precise moment when Su Anqi’s thin heel was going to Wan Wan’s stomach, Old Lady Yi and Fang Yaqin’s involvement after that was not shown. She was well aware that she should not involve any other party to not complicate the matter, not to mention the Yi family with high status. It would be inappropriate for them to appear in an unpleasant clip like this although they were doing justice.

He Yi censored Wan Wan’s face to protect her privacy, only Su Anqi’s vicious and evil face was shown to the public. There was a direct caption with it. ‘Su Anqi, the wife of the CEO of Rong Yi Group, abusing her stepdaughter in public!

The clip went viral on the Internet once it was uploaded. Its click-through rate exceeded 100,000 within a day and it seemed like it was still spreading on like wildfire.

Of course, as a well-known family in Yun City, the Chu family got in touch with all media platforms to take down the clip instead of ignoring it. However, that did not stop the netizens from sharing the saved clip with each other or posting it on social media despite being taken down, the consequence did not reduce one bit.

Su Anqi was labeled with names like a witch or the evilest stepmother in history and she had to put on shades and a mask to go outside. Chu Tianyi prohibited her from returning home to prevent even more scandal so she had to stay with her mother with her son Ke Ke at the Yi family’s house!

Old Master Yi was the commander-in-chief of the army so he had to stay in the military base in Hua Xi Yuan. Both Yi Jingye and Yi Xianzong had their property and career in Hua Xi Yuan so that they could stay there by their parents’ side.

Su Anqi getting chased off by her husband was not a proud thing, not to mention she was labeled as her stepdaughter’s abuser. It was worse that Old Lady Yi and Fang Yaqin caught her in the act and reprimanded her. She was ashamed to go to her mother’s house with her many mistakes. Besides, she was not originated from the Yi family, she was only a stepdaughter brought in by Fang Yaqin after her second marriage with Yi Xianzong.

Su Yuzhi did not really approve of her daughter coming to the Yi family’s house so she suggested she go to the Fang family’s house to Chu Piaoyun to wait for the craze to pass before returning to the Chu family’s house.

Su Anqi refused to go there to live under Queen Chu’s attitude so she decided to stay in Yi’s family house in Hua Xi Yuan with Ke Ke.

Old Lady Yi did not summon Su Anqi at all ever since she moved in as if she was transparent perhaps because she witnessed her beating a child or she just did not want to meet her.

Getting ignored like that was humiliating but thick-skinned Su Anqi did not mind at all. She was self-assured that her social status heightened ever since she got married into the Chu family. She was not sensitive about it as she knew that everything would go back to normal soon despite the trouble she was in.

Instead of keeping a low profile by just staying with Su Yuzhi while waiting for everything to pass, she invited Chu Chu and Fang Yuan to the Yi family’s house for a visit.

Fang Yuan was Yi Liangze’s mother, Fang Yaqin’s niece so Su Anqi and Chu Chu became self-justified because of her tagging along.

“Aunt, this is Chu Chu, my aunt that I’ve been telling you about!” said Su Anqi sweetly. Her skills in flattery were not less than Su Yuzhi at all. “Liangze has met her for quite a few times but he was always occupied with work. He didn’t even give others a chance to get to know him!”

Fang Yuan was asked to help out so she added in time, “Aunt, you should call Brother Liang to come back for dinner! It’s been a while since the whole family had dinner together, how exciting is that?”

Fang Yaqin understood Su Anqi and Fang Yuan’s intention for inviting Chu Chu over. She did not dislike Chu Chu as all her qualities were clearly better than He Yi’s because she was pretty, young and she came from a well family. Most importantly, unlike He Yi, she was not a divorcee.

She would definitely cozy up to the eager shortlisted candidate to be her daughter-in-law if it was before. However, Old Lady Yi and her had been tied up for the past few days because Wan Wan’s DNA test result was not out yet. Of course, they did not disclose it to anyone before a firm conclusion could be made.

Therefore, Fang Yaqin had to engage with them tepidly and treat them with courtesy.

Noticing that Old Lady Yi still did not appear, Su Anqi understood that she must despise her for the abuse incident. She scoffed internally and thought to herself, ‘That old hag has always been unfond of me, she should just die already!’

The women each with their own merits were occupied with each other when another beauty came for a surprise visit.

“Madam, Miss Yu is here!” Ling, a maid of the Yi family’s house came in and announced.

The three women who were busy chattering became silent instantly the moment they heard the maid mentioning Miss Yu and gave each other looks. They were clearly alarmed and despised her.

Fang Yuan sneered with displease and turned to Fang Yaqin, “Aunt, why is that old woman still not married yet? Why does she have to come to the house all the time? What is her intention?”

Fang Yaqin frowned slightly and gestured to Fang Yuan not to continue. “Let her in!”

Yu Shujun entered soon enough in a familiar manner with a smile. She greeted Fang Yaqin before turning to the three pretty guests. “Hello, Aunt! Miss Su, Miss Fang, you’re here, too?”

The trio obviously disliked her and treated her with hostility as she was the only young female around Yi Liangze for the past few years.

“Miss Yu, you’re here again?” Su Anqi was the first to attack. She had to please Chu Chu with some actions so that she would talk on her behalf in front of Chu Tianyi. Putting on the Yi family members’ typical proud face, she questioned her arrogantly, “Is there anything?”

She was implying to Yu Shujun that she should not come if there was nothing significant.

Yu Shujun seemed not to realize Su Anqi’s hidden meaning, the smile on her face did not reduce one bit. “I’m here for Bao Bao!”

Aside from being the only young, single woman around Yi Liangze, she was also one of the people Bao Bao was close to.

Yi Liangze often took Bao Bao to Yu Shujun’s restaurant for a visit. He would even drop off Bao Bao at the restaurant to let her take care of him for a few days.

Affection bloomed on Fang Yaqin’s face when Bao Bao was mentioned. She said to Yu Shujun hurriedly, “You’re here just in time! Bao Bao has been throwing a fit because he wants to find Aunt He and we couldn’t coax him, Old Lady Yi has been fretting about it! You should take him to your place for distraction and only send him back after a few days!”
