Novel Bin Chapter 69 - His true feelings were revealed
Chapter 69: 69. His true feelings were revealed
“He came all the way here to tell me that the Yi family is planning a wedding. He told me to be prepared,” He Yi answered before Wei Jiameng could.
Yi Liangze was a little puzzled. “Is he that enthusiastic?”
He Yi calmly picked up the food and continued, “I told him that I already knew about this. I also accepted the flowers and wedding ring for the proposal. There’s no need for him to come here and talk too much. He’s so annoying!”
Thus, Wei Jiameng quickly shut up. Luckily, her mouth wasn’t that fast. She would remember next time. When He Yi was talking to Yi Liangze, it was better for her not to interrupt.
Yi Liangze put on a smile and said, “Good answer.”
He put on a disposable glove, peeled the shrimp, dipped it in the sauce, and placed it on the plate one by one, then gave them to He Yi.
He Yi glanced at him and asked symbolically, “You don’t have any social engagements tonight?”
With Yi Liangze’s status and reputation, he should attend a lot of social events. He wished that he could eat with her three meals a day, which puzzled her -was he very free?
“The Secretary has canceled everything that could be canceled. I won’t be attending any social events from tonight unless you accompany me.” Yi Liangze replied. At the same time, he observed her expression a few times and found that there was a trace of melancholy between her brows.
He remembered that she was at a loss because she owed boss Chen the rent last time. He didn’t know what kind of trouble she was in this time.
“Ge Ge is full. I’ll take her home,” Wei Jiameng stood up and said.
He Yi quickly said, “Wait for a while. I’ll send you home.”
“No need. You can accompany young master Yi to eat slowly.” Wei Jiameng didn’t want to disturb their gathering. Even though she was not in a good mood, she still knew that every opportunity Yi Liangze took to approach He Yi was extremely precious, and she definitely would not let it go to waste. “It’s not late, Wan Wan, and I can just take a taxi back.”
Yi Liangze called Xiao Chi and instructed, “Send Miss Wei off. Remember to bring along two bottles of wine when you come back!”
He Yi was a little puzzled. “Why did you ask Xiao Chi to bring wine?”
Looking at her, he curled his lips slightly and said softly, “I’ll drink two glasses with you.”
*
He Yi admired Yi Liangze’s eyesight. ‘How could he tell that she was in a bad mood? Could it be that she was so transparent that all her thoughts were written on her face?’
Thinking of this, she felt a sense of danger.
She had thought too much. Only those who cared about her very much would notice her slight change. They would notice whether her mood was happy or sad, relaxed or heavy.
Yi Liang chose to personally pour the wine into a glass and bring it to her. “Speak, what’s troubling you again?”
For a moment, He Yi was touched, by this hard-earned understanding and care. She thought that no one in this world would care about her mood changes, and even those who cared about her might not understand her. For example, Wei Jiameng had never been able to see her emotions. That was why she had mistakenly thought that she was very good at hiding her emotions.
In front of Yi Liangze, she had never been able to hide anything.
He Yi pursed her lips slightly and said softly, “I’m just curious about one thing.”
“What is it?” Yi Liangze narrowed his eyes.
“I asked Jiameng to go to the suburbs in the north of the city to collect wild pigeon droppings at a high cost. On the way back, she happened to hitch a ride with Fang Yu. Moreover, Fang Yuan and Wen Siling were sitting in his car.”
“Oh!” Yi Liangze was a little surprised and asked, “They didn’t do anything to her, right?”
Although it was not inappropriate to look at Wei Jiameng, through Wen Siling and Fang Yuan’s personalities. If they found out that Wei Jiameng was He Yi’s best friend, they would very likely vent their anger on her.
“Of course, they won’t let her off! But... Fortunately, Fang Yu was kind enough to insist on sending Jiameng back.” He Yi paused, and continued, “This is not the strangest part. The strangest thing is that they knew that the bucket Jiameng brought was filled with wild pigeon feces, but they didn’t snatch it away!”
Yi Liangze put down his chopsticks, feeling a little surprised. “What’s the big use of that thing?”
He Yi hesitated for a moment, but she still said honestly, “My father left behind a formula for tanning leather. The method isn’t that complicated. “Before tanning leather, the key is to soak it in wild pigeon feces for a few days. This way, the tanned leather will be flexible and shiny. The day I retrieved the formula from the bank after I came out, I was stopped and provoked by Chu Chu and the others. When I got to the car, a man wearing a cap snatched the briefcase containing the tanning formula. I always thought that the three of them had sent people to snatch my bag, but now it doesn’t seem like it!”
‘If Wen Siling and the others had snatched the briefcase, they would have looked through the contents. They would have known about the wild pigeon dung that was necessary for tanning leather. When they saw Wei Jiameng carrying these things, even if they didn’t snatch it away, they would have deliberately destroyed it, how could they allow her to successfully bring back the wild pigeon dung?’
Yi Liangze laughed. “It is indeed a secret formula passed down from the ancestors. Such a strange ingredient! Have you concocted it before?”
He Yi shook her head, but her expression was very determined. “I believe in my father!”
The two of them picked up their red wine glasses, clinked their glasses, and downed their wine.
Yi Liangze put down his glass, he analyzed indifferently, “There are two possibilities. One is that they had discovered the secret recipe in the briefcase, or even if they had discovered it, they wouldn’t have taken it seriously. The second possibility is that... someone else snatched the briefcase.”
He Yi nodded. “I think so too.”
‘If it wasn’t the third Princesses of Yun City who stole her secret formula, who else could it be? Could It Be Chu Piaoyun?
‘It was just that if Chu Piaoyun knew the secret formula, why didn’t she tell her children? Fang Yuan and Fang Yu were obviously in the dark as well. They didn’t know the use of wild pigeon dung at all.’
Just as He Yi was still trying to figure it out, Yi Liangze spoke again, “This matter is indeed a little hard to understand, but... it seems like there’s something else troubling you.”
“...” It still couldn’t be hidden from his eyes! He Yi smiled bitterly and fell silent.
“What difficulties do you have that you can’t tell me? Do you have to bear it all by yourself?” Yi Liangze was exasperated, but he still tried his best to maintain a gentle tone. “We are about to enter the wedding hall and become a family. You should slowly get used to trusting me and relying on me. At least let me share some happiness with you and share some troubles. Don’t always push me thousands of miles away.”
The man’s large hand came over and held her delicate one. He used gentle strength as if he was afraid of hurting her. It was like comforting and encouraging, reminding her that he still existed beside her.
Was this the legendary sweet talk? He Yi’s nose was sore, her eyes were burning, and her throat seemed to be stuffed with cotton. It was indeed tiring to hold on for too long. At this time, she subconsciously longed for a shoulder to lean on. But... she had never thought that this person could be an easy choice.
His kindness to her was an eternal mystery. How long his kindness to her could last was even more of a mystery.
Before the mystery was revealed, she needed to keep her mind clear and not let herself fall into it. It was the wisest thing to do.
However, everyone had their moments of vulnerability. Especially He Yi at this moment. The fear and confusion in her heart overflowed, almost drowning her.
“I...” He Yi grabbed Yi Liangze’s large hand. Her breathing was rapid as if a drowning person had grabbed a piece of driftwood that could save her life. Her clear eyes were filled with wildness. She could no longer hide her nervousness and depression. “I may have done something that Wan Wan will never be able to forgive me for!”
“Wan Wan?” Yi Liangze was stunned for a moment before coming to his senses. “You said Wan Wan went to practice the piano! Could it be that she went...”
“Yes!” He Yi closed her eyes slightly and steeled her heart, she revealed her true feelings. “I let her go home. Taking advantage of the absence of the three members of the Chu family, this was a good opportunity to get back the evidence. The problem was that she didn’t know what this action means to Chu Tianyi. If I take down Chu Tianyi because of this, perhaps this will become a grudge between mother and daughter that can never be resolved.”
“Evidence to take down Chu Tianyi?” Yi Liangze pressed on without relaxing.
He Yi suddenly relaxed. She placed her hands on her face, her voice was slightly choked with sobs. “It’s evidence to take down Chu Tianyi. You may think that I have no bottom line for using Wan Wan to plot against her father, but you don’t know... Chu Tianyi is not Wan Wan’s biological father. He raised her like a puppy, allowing her to be beaten, abused, and abused by Su Anqi. He doesn’t care at all. He doesn’t have any kinship at all. All these years, the Food Wan Wan ate, the house she lived in, and all the education she enjoyed were all because Chu Tianyi took over her grandfather’s property. He didn’t raise her, he only had a deep-seated hatred for her. Wan Wan acknowledged a thief as her father, and I have an unshirkable responsibility, but I can’t let her continue to be muddle-headed. Otherwise, her grandfather’s soul in heaven, cannot rest in peace!”
