A Delightful Marriage with Twins - Chapter 122
Chapter 122: 31. Helping each other
The two sides were in a stalemate. Just as the war was about to break out, they heard a yell, “Siling, you’re messing around again?”
Hearing this familiar voice, Wen Siling was a little surprised. She looked up and saw her big brother, Wen Li’an, coming over. Although she was bold, she was still afraid of her big brother, Wen Li’an.
“Elder brother, this B*tch she stole my boyfriend!” Wen Siling pointed at Wei Jimeng who was hiding behind He Yi and pouted to express her grievance. “I’ll teach her a lesson and make her learn her lesson!”
“I think you should learn your lesson!” Wen Li’an took a deep breath and managed to maintain his gentlemanly manners. His face darkened as he reprimanded, “Listen, quickly take these people and leave! Hurry!”
“I won’t!” Wen Si Ling stomped her feet and acted coquettishly. “I must teach her a lesson…”
“You guys take her home! Wen Li’an did not wait for Wen Siling to finish speaking and ordered them to send her away. “For the next month, she is not allowed to go out!”
“Hey, what!” Wen Siling was shocked and furious. She quickly ordered the little gangsters she brought, “What are you all standing there for? Don’t make a move!”
But with Wen Li’an present, those little gangsters did not dare to act rashly. After all, they all knew that the head of the Wen family was Wen Li’an. If they offended him, it would be a big deal!
Four or five bodyguards came forward and quickly restrained Wen Siling, and dragged her out.
Then, those little gangsters also dispersed.
…
Wen Li’an said to the surrounding crowd, “Everyone, disperse! I have something to say to young Master Yi alone!”
Thus, everyone had to leave. In the blink of an eye, only the people brought by Yi Liangze and Wen Si Li were left.
“Young Master Yi, I’m sorry!” Wen Li’an bowed to Yi Liangze to express his apology. “Little sister’s lack of discipline has offended sister-in-law. I will discipline her!”
“Fortunately, you came in time!” Yi liangze said indifferently, “If you were half a minute late, I’m afraid that it would have hurt your sister and also hurt the harmony between the two families!”
Wen Li’an was very ashamed, he explained, “Although Siling is mischievous, she has no craftiness in her heart. It’s very easy for people to provoke her and use her as a weapon. I was careless and didn’t notice these things. In the future, I will make sure people watch her closely. I will never do such things that would hurt the peace.”
After saying that, he nodded to He Yi, then turned around and left with his people.
Just like that, the fierce battle vanished into thin air because of Wen Li’an’s timely arrival. He Yi, however, knew that if Yi Liangze had not informed him in time, Wen Li’an would not have been so timely.
His method was extremely appropriate. He did not inform Wen Yongxiang, but promptly informed Wen Li’an, the head of the Wen family. He accurately eliminated the root of the problem and solved the problem.
Having escaped from danger, Wei Jiameng was sad and ashamed. She wanted to find a hole to hide in.
He Yi asked Ji Xueshan to get a new dress (spare in the car) for Wei Jiameng to change into.
Wei Jiameng’s size was similar to He Yi’s. When He Yi had just been released from prison, she had worn her clothes.
Wei Jiameng changed into He Yi’s clothes. She was even more ashamed and did not even raise her head.
“It’s okay!” He Yi didn’t say anything to blame her. She held Wei Jiameng’s hand and said, “Let’s go!”
Wei Jiameng cried and asked, “How did you know I was here?”
Although she had called He Yi, the situation was urgent at the time so she didn’t talk to her. Her phone accidentally fell under the sofa. She didn’t have time to say her location before she was caught by Wen Siling’s people.
He Yi smiled slightly and turned to Yi Liangze with a pleased gaze. “Fortunately, Liangze helped locate your location, otherwise…”
Looking at Wei Jiameng’s disheveled appearance, it was not difficult for her to imagine what would have happened if she had been a few minutes later – She would have been stripped naked.
Wei Jiameng cried even harder. “Fang Yu… He didn’t even care about me!”
Why was it that her boyfriend, Fang Yu, didn’t care about her, but it was He Yi’s husband who saved her in the end?
Yi Liangze had always doted on He Yi and would listen to anything she said. Different people had different lives, and that represented her and He Yi.
She had repeatedly backed down in front of Fang Yu, accommodating and adjusting, but she couldn’t get the other party’s sincerity and attention. She had to admit that if it wasn’t for He Yi today, she would have died by now.
If she was stripped naked in public, she would be willing to commit suicide.
“Ignore that scum!” He Yi’s face darkened, and she advised, “What’s in the past is in the past. As long as you are fine, it’s fine! Let’s go.”
After crying for a while, under He Yi and Ji Xueshan’s persuasion, Wei Jiameng finally stopped crying and left with them.

Yi Liangze passed a stack of investigation materials to He Yi and said, “Take a look!”
He Yi flipped through them one by one and frowned. “Why does it seem like Chu Piaoyun is involved?”
“She might have been the one causing trouble these few times.” Yi Liangze was very dissatisfied with Chu Piaoyun’s repeated threats. “I think it’s time to teach her a lesson!”
“It’s a pity that we can’t locate the driver. We can’t convict her just based on these clues!” He Yi said sharply.
“If she can hide in the dark and cause trouble for us, we can also return the favor. We can also do a few things that give her a headache and make her unable to hold anything against us!” Yi Liangze had long been dissatisfied with Chu Piaoyun, but because she was his aunt, he had been suppressing his anger. However, the other party had provoked him again and again, and he could not stand it anymore.
He Yi did not have any objections to this. “Empress Chu is old and crafty. It’s not easy to get hold of something against her. We can start with the people around her!”
Yi Liangze thought for a moment and said, “Fang Yu is a wealthy and idle person. He doesn’t care about anything!”
“Then let’s start with Fang Yuan!” He Yi sneered and said, “I believe that Fang Yuan should be very knowledgeable about Empress Chu’s actions!”

Wei Jiameng temporarily lived in the factory. He Yi had specially gotten someone to tidy up a room for her to use as a living room.
However, Wei Jiameng’s emotions were extremely unstable. She curled up and looked like a frightened little beast. When she saw clearly that it was He Yi who came in, she cried out loud. “He Yi, hug me!”
He Yi walked over and sat down. She gently hugged Wei Jiameng. “Don’t cry anymore.”
No matter how much she complained, it was useless at this moment. She could only hug her and comfort her.
“He Yi, am I very stupid?” Wei Jiameng cried. “Stepping into a pit twice in a row, am I asking for it?”
He Yi Thought for a moment and advised, “It’s fine if you step on it twice, just don’t step on it a third time!”
“Sob… I’ll remember it… But… My heart is so uncomfortable!” Wei Jiameng would never forget the shame of being restrained by Wen Siling and having her dress stripped in public, it was unforgettable to her. “Fang Yu, he… why can’t he be like Young Master Yi to you… even if it’s only one-tenth of what he did for you, even if I have to suffer some grievances, I’m willing to endure it! But he doesn’t care about me at all!”
“Since you’ve seen through it, let go!” He Yi comforted her softly. “Don’t worry about it anymore in the future. Just treat it as if you’ve been bitten by a dog!”
“When I close my eyes, I’ll dream of Wen Siling asking someone to strip me of my clothes. Fang Yu didn’t even care…” This was a pain that would never be erased from Wei Jiameng’s heart.
“Don’t think about it anymore! Go to sleep!” He Yi patted her gently and comforted her patiently. “I’m here for you. No one would dare to bully you!”
“Yes, and you!” Wei Jiameng finally calmed down slowly. She choked and said, “He Yi, thank God I still have you!”
If it weren’t for He Yi, she probably wouldn’t be able to live now.
He Yi finally watched Wei Jiameng slowly fall asleep, and she let out a sigh of relief. Perhaps, some things should be put to an end.

It was the first time He Yi walked into the Manhao detective agency. She curiously looked at the layout of the agency.
Manhao detective agency. As the name implied, was a detective agency set up specifically to find the whereabouts of Yi Jiahao. She knew that Yi Liangze had exhausted all means to find Yi Jiahao.
Although this famous detective agency was nominally run by Qin Weixian its real boss was Yi Liangze.
After the marriage, under He Yi’s insistence, Yi Liangze gradually introduced all the businesses under his name to He Yi and told her their respective uses. The restaurant, the Banquet, and the detective agency that she was currently in were all for gathering intelligence. For the sake of finding Yi Jiahao, he would not let go of any valuable intelligence.
“Young Madam is here!” Qin Weixian treated He Yi very respectfully, his attitude was just like Qi Lin’s. “If there’s anything you need, you can always give me a call. Why are you here personally?”
As he spoke, Qin Weixian personally made tea for He Yi.
He Yi sat down and smiled faintly, “How about the matter I asked you to investigate?”
“The matter that young Madam instructed, of course, I am doing my best!” Qin Weixian immediately took out a stack of documents and handed it to He Yi. “This is the most detailed information about Chu Piaoyun!”
He Yi roughly flipped through it and it was indeed very detailed. Even Chu Piaoyun’s childhood was recorded in it. She put the documents back into the folder. “Very good. I’ll take it and read it slowly!”
“Also, the matter that young Master asked me to investigate has also come to light!” Qin Weixian said to He Yi, “Our spies have already discovered the whereabouts of the driver who caused the accident and are in full pursuit of him!”
He Yi’s eyes lit up, and she said, “We’ve found the driver who caused the accident? That’s great!”
She originally thought that the driver who caused the accident would hide without a trace, that even the police could not find his whereabouts. She did not expect that he would still not be able to escape Yi Liangze’s eyes and ears. As expected, it was very beneficial to have her detective agency.
These days, He Yi did not go to the Yi family house, and Yi Liangze did not speak of taking her to the Yi family for dinner. Occasionally, he would take his two children along.
He Yi was well aware of the reason. The elders of the Yi family were very unhappy that she was always involved in court cases, right or wrong, and even in the sex scandal, which caused the Yi family to be repeatedly criticized. Fortunately, they lived in a beautiful enclosure. Otherwise, at times like this, they would be scolded and reprimanded by the elders. In particular, Yi Liangze’s father, Yi Jingye, always had a dignified look on his face and had always had a prejudice against He Yi.
It was not easy to put closure to the poisoning case, and now there was the car accident and the sex scandal. If the truth was not found soon, and the real culprit apprehended, she would never be able to clear her name.
Qin Weixian suddenly announced that he had found the whereabouts of the driver who caused the accident. Without a doubt, he was authorized by Yi Liangze.
He Yi’s heart was calm. For the first time, she felt that she was no longer alone and helpless. No matter what, he would always walk shoulder to shoulder with her. He would shelter her from the wind and rain, just like when they first met. The umbrella he gave her had always been carefully treasured by her.
From knowing each other to loving each other and to getting married. They had gone through thick and thin together. She would no longer have to be as helpless and lonely as she was in the past!
“That’s great!” He Yi finally broke into a smile, and instructed, “We must quickly investigate and find a way to find the driver of the accident. This is the most crucial witness. Not only can it clear me as a suspect, but he may also confess to the real culprit who ordered him behind the scenes!”
“Young Madam, please rest assured. I will do my best!” Qin Weixian attached great importance to He Yi’s orders. It could be seen that he sincerely treated her as his mistress.
He Yi deeply understood that she was able to make a person of Qin Weixian’s status obey her orders. Of course, it was not because of how great her reputation was, but because of Yi Liangze.
It was because Yi Liangze attached great importance to her that Qin Weixian was able to attach importance to her.
Pursing her lips slightly, He Yi nodded. “Thank you for your hard work, brother Qin! In the future, if you have any news or clues about brother Jiahao, please do not hesitate to inform me!”
Qin Weixian didn’t expect He Yi to be interested in the issue of Yi Jiahao’s whereabouts, so he was stunned.
“Why? Is there a problem?” He Yi looked at him and asked.
“No problem!” Qin Weixian’s answer was firm and decisive, without the slightest hesitation. “As soon as there is a clue, I will immediately inform young Madam!”
*
Walking out of the Manhao detective agency, He Yi turned back to take a look. She knew very well that this detective agency was filled with Yi Liangze’s lifelong wish.
From then on, she decided to accompany him in his search for Yi Jiahao. He was no longer someone who walked alone.
Helping him find Yi Jiahao’s whereabouts was the only thing she could do for him!
*
She threw the phone away angrily. Chu Piaoyun’s face was full of vexation as she complained, “Su Yuzhi is short-sighted. She cut off contact with me over a small matter. She didn’t even pick up the phone!”
“It’s all because of He Yi!” At the mention of He Yi, Chu Chu was filled with dissatisfaction. She wished that she could tear her apart. Yet, she could not touch her at all. She could only vent it out through her mouth. “She made that little slut Wan Wan lie to Yang Yang and say some nonsense. She made Su Yuzhi mistakenly think that aunt bribed that waiter to poison Yang Yang! Since then, Su Yuzhi has held a grudge against aunt!”
Fang Yuan said hatefully, “He Yi is too cunning! The poisoning case last time allowed her to escape by a fluke, but the car accident this time is still hanging in the air. Although she is the most significant suspect, she is only a suspect after all. They have not found any concrete evidence…”
Chu Piaoyun threw a glance at Fang Yuan and scolded, “You did not arrange this matter properly!”
If Fang Yuan had done it flawlessly, the matter of framing her should have been more thorough, leaving behind some clues that would enable He Yi to enter the police station.
“This is the first time I’ve done something like this, and I was a little careless.” Fang Yuan was aware of this, and she said regretfully, “At that time, I only wanted to destroy her reputation, but I didn’t think that I would be able to do it in one step!”
Chu Chu quickly spoke up for Fang Yuan. “It’s not easy for Fang Yuan to plan so thoroughly on her own. After all, she’s only nineteen years old. Sister Siling is a few years older. If she had been present at that time, she could have helped to come up with some ideas, but she was busy chasing cousin Fang Yu everywhere!”
At the mention of Wen Siling, Chu Piaoyun’s face was filled with disdain. “The Wen family’s third sister is a shrew, disgracing Fang Yu in front of so many people! He is a man after all, and she beat him until his face was bruised and swollen. If not for the Wen family’s eldest brother rushing over in time, who knows what kind of torture Fang Yu would have suffered from her!”
Chu Piaoyun had always been protective of her family’s shortcomings. No matter how much she hated her son, he was still her biological son. Therefore, she was undoubtedly quite dissatisfied with Wen Siling’s arrogance and despotism.
Chu Chu rolled her eyes and asked, “Aunt, do you not want sister Siling to be your daughter-in-law anymore?”
Because she had failed in pursuing Yi Liang, she could not bear to see others pair up. If Wen Siling succeeded in pursuing Fang Yu, she would feel frustrated. She could not wait for Chu Piaoyun to deny Wen Siling so that the three of them would still be the three princesses of Yun City. Although Wen Siling was the oldest, she had long reached the age of marriage.
“Hmph, such an uncultured woman is not worthy of entering our Fang family!” Chu Piaoyun rejected Wen Siling in a fit of anger.
At this moment, assistant Xiao Yu walked in with a mobile phone and said, “Director Chu, someone is on the phone!”
Chu Piaoyun took the mobile phone and listened to a few sentences. Suddenly, a cold glint flashed across her beautiful eyes and she became nervous. “What? The driver was found by someone!”
*
He Yi took the time to study Chu Piaoyun’s qualifications. She started from the first page until she completed the last page. She read for more than an hour.
Indeed, Chu Piaoyun’s life was too rich. He Yi was amazed.
She was born in a poor family deep in the mountains. The poverty that she experienced was unimaginable for upper-class people. According to the information, she even caught snakes and rats in the mountains to roast and eat because she was hungry.
He Yi thought of the elegant Chu Piaoyun. She could not imagine that she had done such a thing.
Chu Piaoyun had never gone to a formal school because the family was frugal and could only afford to send one child to school. That was her brother, Chu Tianyi’s father, who later became Mayor Chu!
This did not stop Chu Piaoyun from being eager to learn and improve. She worked during the day and asked her brother to help her with her homework at night. She worked very hard and studied until late at night every day.
With such hard work, she finished primary school, middle school, and high school, and finally entered a famous university with excellent results.
He Yi admired Chu Piaoyun. To be able to work so hard from such a low starting point and take the final step to reach the sky was simply a miracle!
As for Chu Piaoyun’s life after university, there were traces to be found. Her grades were excellent, and she often received scholarships. She also got the opportunity to go abroad to further her studies.
After returning to the country, Chu Piaoyun successfully gilded herself with gold. She relied on her relationship with her mayor brother to successfully squeeze into the upper-class circles. After being in love with the heir of the Wanfang Group, Fang Guowei, for a year, she finally stepped into the palace of marriage.
The year Mayor Chu was subjected to Shuanggui, Chu Piaoyun had already successfully given birth to a son and a daughter. She had completely secured her position as the matriarch of the Fang family.
He Yi carefully browsed through the information during this period and saw that the contents were somewhat vague. It was only said that Chu Piaoyun’s marriage was not affected by Mayor Chu’s Shuanggui. It was also said that Fang Guowei had cheated with a singer that year. However, it was only mentioned briefly. It seemed that it was just a casual act that rich men were used to. It did not threaten his marriage to Chu Piaoyun.
A year after Mayor Chu died of a heart attack, Fang Guowei also followed his brother-in-law to the afterlife through a car accident.
A car accident! He Yi sucked in a breath of air. She felt that things were not as simple as they seemed on the surface.
She had seen the process and the cause of the accident several times. It only said that Fang Guowei had been drunk and crashed into a truck. The truck driver was sentenced, but they were unable to save Fang Guowei’s life.
Fang Guowei had died young. It was undoubtedly a regrettable death.
Last time, He Yi had almost been hit fatally by a drunk truck driver. And this time, Zhuo Hongzhao’s wife had been killed by a truck. She felt that this was very much like Chu Piaoyun’s way of doing things!
A car accident was, of course, the simplest way to get rid of a life. And drunk-driving was the most reasonable excuse! It could turn intentional murder into manslaughter, and then take advantage of the loopholes to change the concept.
He Yi seemed to have found a suspicious point. She repeatedly pondered, looking for clues from the official words. But, everything was so perfect that no flaws could be seen. Not to mention that the case had been closed long ago. Everything was determined by the official judgment.
He Yi did not give up. She flipped through the terms of the Wanfang inheritance and carefully studied them one by one. She studied law at university and also obtained a lawyer’s certificate. She could be more proficient than ordinary people in legal common sense.
After some research, she found a problem.
There was a huge problem with the inheritance of the Wanfang Group!
The Fang family valued sons over daughters. Only boys had the right to inherit the shares of the Wanfang Group. Based on having boys, girls did not have the right to inherit any shares of the Wanfang group. Unless the boy died early and did not have time to give birth to an offspring, the boy born to the girl would have the right to inherit Wanfang.
In short, Wanfang was inherited by males of the Fang family. Whether it was a daughter-in-law or daughter, they only had the custody rights and did not have the right to inherit.
In other words, Chu Piaoyun’s glory was only on the surface! She was not the mistress of Wanfang, but the butler of her son! In reality, the only legal successor of Wanfang Group was Fang Yu!
The only reason Chu Piaoyun could control Wanfang Group was that she was Fang Yu’s guardian. This was absurd because when a man came of age, he had the right to take back his inheritance and manage it unless he voluntarily gave full authority to his guardian.
Fang Yu had always been a well-known playboy. He was proficient in eating, drinking, and having fun, but he did not like doing serious work. He had rarely worked in the company building of Wanfang Group. Chu Piaoyun had single-handedly taken over Wanfang’s decision rights. She had always been known as the Empress Dowager of Chu.
Chu Piaoyun had always indulged his son’s mischief and did not demand that he improve. However, He Yi knew that she was very strict with her nephew, Chu Tianyi. Why was she so strict with her nephew and so indulgent with her son?
One answer seemed to be on the tip of her tongue – she did it on purpose!
She deliberately allowed Fang Yu to be ignorant and incompetent so that she could firmly have governing power of Wanfang! If Fang Yu could support Wanfang, then Chu Piaoyun would have a problem!
He Yi couldn’t believe what she saw. It was said that a tiger wouldn’t eat its son. Could it be that Chu Piaoyun deliberately allowed Fang Yu to be ignorant, incompetent, and degenerate for the sake of Wanfang’s governing power?
