Chapter 74: 74. Who exactly was that person?
“There’s no need for you to be busy. We’re not here to drink tea. The three of us should sit down and have a proper conversation!”
When Old Lady Yi said this, He Yi’s hand that was holding the teacup started to tremble. She forced herself to calm down. She turned around and handed the brewed tea to the Yi family’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law respectively. Then, she sat down elegantly opposite them.
Knowing that the Yi family’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law had come here for no reason, He Yi was not in a hurry to speak. She only politely let them drink the tea.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law politely tasted the tea and nodded their heads in approval.
“It’s thin and fragrant. It’s indeed a good tea!” Old Lady Yi was not stingy with her praise.
Fang Yaqin sized up He Yi and said with a smile, “Last time we met, I only knew that you were a lawyer. I didn’t expect you to open your leather factory.”
“The business my father left behind must not go to waste in my hands!” He Yi countered her but never mentioned Yi Liangyi, even though she knew that the Yi family’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would not just talk to her about “Body and mind.”.
“Well, this child is indeed not bad!” The more Old Lady Yi looked at her, the more she liked her. She praised her granddaughter-in-law directly. “I told you she was a filial child!”
Fang Yaqin looked around and couldn’t help but ask, “Where’s Wan Wan?”
He Yi’s heart skipped a beat. She remembered how Su Anqi had abused Wan Wan at the gate of the kindergarten that day. Coincidentally, she was met by the Yi family’s mother-in-law and received the protection of Old Lady Yi, so they got to know about Wan Wan. However, she didn’t expect they knew that Wan Wan was her daughter.
After a moment of silence.., He Yi smiled calmly. “The child has gone to kindergarten. “Since Grandma and Auntie know About Wan Wan’s existence, they should also know about my background. Jiameng’s divorce case is about to be heard again. Thank you, Grandma and Auntie, for your help.”
She could not directly thank Old Lady Yi for protecting Wan Wan, so she could only use Wei Jiameng’s matter to express her gratitude.
“It’s just a small matter, you don’t have to be so polite.” Old Lady Yi waved her hand, indicating that she didn’t have to take it to heart. This also meant that she had indeed met the legal world and interfered with Wei Jiameng’s divorce case.
After exchanging pleasantries, it was time to get to the main topic. He Yi wasn’t in a hurry. She just needed to sit and wait, and the Yi family’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would naturally be unable to hold themselves back and take the initiative to express their intentions.
However, the two hands that she held together were somewhat tense. Her pale knuckles revealed the nervousness in her heart.
“Yo, this is a gift from Baby to You.” Old Lady Yi was old, but her eyes were not muddled. Her sharp eyes noticed the red jade pendant that He Yi was wearing on her neck.
When Fang Yaqin heard this, she looked over and also noticed the jade pendant that He Yi was wearing on her neck. She confirmed, “It’s one of the five jade pendants that the old man gave to Baby!”
He Yi immediately felt a little awkward. Baby gave her the jade pendant and even personally helped her put it on her neck. Before they left, he repeatedly reminded her to wear it at all times. She could not bear to brush away the child’s sincerity, so she did not take it off. However, she never expected that the Yi family’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would show up uninvited today. She was caught in the act and did not know what to say to justify herself.
The red Jade was priceless. They could not possibly think that she was deliberately trying to trick the baby into giving it to her?
The Yi family’s mother-in-law did not notice He Yi’s embarrassment. On the contrary, she even took her embarrassment to be reservation.
“Back then, Grandfather pitied Baby for not having a mother by his side since he was young. He doted on him a little more, so he gave the five pieces of red jade passed down from the family to the baby. It means that all five blessings are complete. It can also be considered as a blessing for this child.” Old Lady Yi’s eyes were filled with tears, she took a deep breath and continued, “The heavens pitied you. You’re finally back! Perhaps it’s because of this heirloom blessing that the family of four can finally be reunited!”
He Yi’s eyelashes fluttered slightly. She really could not understand the meaning behind old Lady Yi’s words.
‘Could it be that the Yi family knew that Yi Liangze had proposed to her and had tacitly agreed to this absurd act? How could that be?’
The atmosphere was a little strange for a moment. Just as He Yi was at a loss, Fang Yaqin finally revealed the purpose of this trip. “Miss He, there’s something that I’ve been wanting to ask but haven’t had the chance to ask. Don’t tell me you think it’s too sudden.”
He Yi composed herself and knew that what was coming was finally coming. “Aunty, you can just say it!”
“Back then... What happened between you and Liangze?” Fang Yaqin was filled with confusion and indecision. “Liangze said that you most likely didn’t know about the existence of Baby. This is too ridiculous! How can a mother not know how many children she has?”
“Eh? ” He Yi became more and more confused as she listened as if she had fallen into a fog. Her clear eyes widened as she held her breath and focused. She vaguely felt that she was getting closer and closer to an answer, and this answer was extremely important to her.
“Hey, slow down!” Old Lady Yi quickly stopped her daughter-in-law and instructed, “The past is not important. It is inevitable for young people to be muddle-headed. It has not been easy to come through these years. It is sad to talk about it, so don’t talk about it!”
The main purpose of this visit was to formally meet with her granddaughter-in-law and great-granddaughter to finalize the marriage. As for the rest of the matters... It was better to wait until she married her granddaughter-in-law into the family before slowly asking.
“How can I not ask clearly? Yi Liangze said that they would be getting married on the ninth day of next month, and they even skipped the engagement ceremony. This...” Fang Yaqin considered more than her mother-in-law. “Isn’t it a little too rushed?”
Just as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Yi family had their own opinions, He Yi finally spoke. Her voice was very soft, but it was extremely clear. “I want to know, what did Young Master Yi say about the two of us?”

At the city central hospital.
Wei Jiameng pushed open the door of the ward and walked in. She saw Ji Xueshan staring blankly at the withered flower basket on the bedside table.
She was a little puzzled and slowly walked over. Perhaps Ji Xueshan was distracted by something and didn’t notice it at all.
“Sigh, the flower basket has already withered. What’s there to see?” Wei Jiameng asked in confusion.
Ji Xueshan was taken aback. She turned around and saw that it was Wei Jiameng. She couldn’t help but hold her chest and blame her. “Why didn’t you knock? You didn’t even make a sound when you walked in. Are you trying to scare me to death?”
“The door wasn’t closed. Do I still need to knock? I’m also a woman. It’s not like it’s inconvenient.” Wei Jiameng said innocently.
Ji Xueshan lazily stood up and said, “I’m going to wash up.”
“Ah?” Wei Jiameng was startled. “Have you eaten? He Yi asked me to bring you out of the hospital.”
“I don’t have much appetite these days.” Ji Xueshan forced a smile. “Wait for me for a while. We’ll leave once we’re done packing.”

Chu Tianyi had already completed the discharge procedures, but he still stayed in the hospital to accompany and take care of Su Anqi. That morning, the third princess of Yun City was in the ward early. Although Chu Piaoyun didn’t come, she still sent her beloved son, Fang Yu, to visit Su Anqi.
There were a lot of flowers and fruits. Su Anqi had already untied the bandages on her body. She no longer looked like a mummy, but her lower limbs were still unable to move.
Regarding this, the Doctor and Chu Tianyi’s words were highly consistent — she needed time to recuperate!
Su Anqi’s eyes were full of tears and her heart was full of anxiety. However, the third princess was in high spirits and was discussing how to tie He Yi up and bring her to the Chu family’s old home in Cangzhou to guard the grave.
At this moment.., Wen Siling recalled something. “Oh right, that day, we stopped He Yi in the bank’s parking lot. At that time, a man wearing a cap took advantage of the chaos and snatched the briefcase in her hand. From the looks of He Yi, that briefcase seemed to be very important. After that, she even asked the police to help her look for it. They suspected that we had sent people to snatch it away. Who exactly was that person?”
