A Delightful Marriage with Twins - Chapter 127
Chapter 127: 36. Who was compromising?
After a period of recuperation and exercise, He Yi’s physical fitness and sleep quality had improved significantly.
She even began to try morning exercises.
Because of his early years in the army, Yi Liangze had developed the unshakable habit of 100 exercises. Generally, he would get up at five o’clock, run, dive, and squat.
He Yi could not keep up with his rhythm initially, but as her physical fitness gradually improved, she could get up at five-thirty. After washing up, she would go to the gym to find him.
Walking into the gym, Yi Liangze must have been training for half an hour. He was sweating profusely on the treadmill. Seeing her coming in, he slowed down and waved at her with a smile.
He Yi walked on the treadmill next to him and began to speed up from slow to fast. She knew that with his company and encouragement during her first morning exercise, she would continue to persevere.
“Very good!” Yi Liang gave her a thumbs-up as she ran.
He gave her a thumbs-up as soon as they started running. He Yi found it funny. She pursed her lips and did not say anything. When she was with him, even if she did not speak, she felt that the atmosphere was sweet and tacit.
She stole a glance at him and saw that he had a smile in his handsome eyes. He seemed to be in an extremely good mood. It seemed that as long as he was with her, he would always be in an extremely good mood.
Coincidentally, it was as if they had a tacit understanding. He also sized her up at this moment. Their eyes met, and he was burning with passion. She was reserved and gentle, but she was just as tender and sweet. They looked at each other and smiled.
…
After running to warm up, Yi Liangze began to teach He Yi how to use dumbbells correctly. Chest expansion, lifting, weight-bearing squats.
The man taught them very seriously, while the woman learned them very seriously. Although these basic movements were taught by professional coaches in the fitness club, she always felt that he taught them in more detail.
After teaching the basic movements, Yi Liangze let her practice them several times. After he thought that she had reached the standard, he nodded in satisfaction, he also reminded her, “In the future, your fitness courses will be done by me. You don’t need to find a fitness coach anymore! I will be your private coach!”
He Yi was stunned. She realized that this guy was jealous again. He was even jealous of a fitness instructor!
“Hubby teaches better than them, right?” When Yi Liang asked, he intimately interlocked his fingers with hers and then used a little more force. He sounded very threatening.
He Yi was speechless. Was this considered torture to force a confession? His long and powerful fingers were like a hard stick. if she dared to say anything, he would “Spank” her!
After deliberately hesitating for a moment, He Yi looked troubled. “This…”
Seeing that she didn’t seem to have made up her mind, he quickly helped her make up her mind. He pulled his fingers together slightly.
“Wow!” He Yi cried out in pain exaggeratedly. She looked like she was about to cry. She said aggrievedly, “Okay! You teach better than them!”
Although he beat her into a confession, Yi Liangze got the answer he wanted. He was very satisfied. He let go of her slender fingers and put them on his mouth. “Good wife, Huff Huff Huff!”
This is child’s play! Like Baby and Wan Wan! He Yi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
The maid Xiao Ling came in, “It’s time for breakfast! Little Master and Little Miss have asked several times where Mom and Dad went! I was afraid they would disturb your exercise, so I said you went out for a run! Don’t let it slip later!”
He Yi was speechless.
Yi Liangze nodded approvingly at Xiao Ling. “You’re quite smart!”
Although the children were cute, he also wanted to have some alone time with his wife. Morning exercise time was a sweet time for husband and wife. It was best not to let the children get involved. Otherwise, it would not be so convenient if he wanted to teach her a few special movements or eat tofu.
Xiao Ling was very happy to receive the praise. Undoubtedly, she would handle this situation again in the future.
He Yi shook her head but didn’t say anything. She looked at him and felt that he was getting cuter and cuter!

After learning the answer, Chu Tianyi drank to drown his sorrows for many days, but he still couldn’t smile.
After a careful investigation, not only did He Hanlin not report Mayor Chu, but he also found the real whistleblower – Su Anqi!
This was an unexpected but reasonable answer!
Su Anqi pretended to be He Hanlin and reported Mayor Chu, pulling him down from his position!
Chu Tianyi didn’t hate the whistleblower. When he found out the true face of his biological father, the idol in his heart completely collapsed, revealing the dirty and ugly nature hidden in it.
He was even grateful to the whistleblower who finally got rid of this dirty cancer.
But this person was Su Anqi! He didn’t hate her for reporting her father, he only hated her for pretending to be He Hanlin!
Su Anqi’s motive wasn’t hard to guess. She was simply trying to frame He Hanlin and destroy his relationship with He Yi.
At that time, he had just fallen in love with He Yi, and their relationship quickly heated up. He was the son of the mayor, and she was the daughter of a rich family. They were a perfect match.
Of course, both of them were outstanding, so they had a group of suitors behind them. However, their eyes only saw each other’s existence, and they didn’t see those suitors at all.
Su Anqi was one of Chu Tianyi’s many admirers. However, she paled in comparison to He Yi. Her status as an illegitimate daughter, her results were average, and she was inferior to He Yi in all aspects.
With He Yi’s presence, how could Chu Tianyi notice Su Anqi’s existence?
It wasn’t until after Mayor Chu was killed by Shuanggui and by an accident that Su Anqi officially entered Chu Tianyi’s line of sight.
Not only did she help him find the “True culprit” He Hanlin who “Framed” mayor Chu, but she also actively helped him come up with strategies and designs for a perfect revenge plan.
At that time, Chu Tianyi was completely blinded by hatred. His love had long been thrown to claw border country by him.
At that time, he was too young and impulsive, and finally, he ruined the happiness of his life!
“Su Anqi!” The tipsy Chu Tianyi repeated the name repeatedly. His strong teeth ground until they squeaked like a roaring angry beast. “I will never forgive you! I will never let you off!”

In the Fang family’s Teahouse.
Fang Yaqin’s visit made Chu Piaoyun furious.
What made Chu Piaoyun furious was not Fang Yaqin, but the news that Fang Yaqin had brought.
“Ha, in her dreams!” Chu Piaoyun’s anger could not be contained. She hissed, “In your dreams! Unless I die, I will never let that lowly woman enter our Fang family’s door!”
Chu Chu also chimed in from the side. “Wei Jiameng is pregnant! Who knows if she is pregnant with the Fang family’s flesh and blood? To think that a mother would marry into the Fang family with her child. It’s simply like a toad trying to eat swan meat. Wishful thinking!”
Fang Yaqin’s expression was solemn, and her words were extremely succinct. “Whether the child is from the Fang family or not can be verified! However, whether or not you accept He Yi’s conditions and save Fang Yuan is up to you! I am only responsible for passing on a message!”
Chu Piaoyun gritted his teeth. “He Yi, this B*tch is vicious and sinister!”
She had grabbed onto her weak spot and used it to blackmail her.
Fang Yaqin’s face sank as she reminded her coldly, “I know that you have always had a deep prejudice against He Yi, but she is still my daughter-in-law. Be careful about what you say!”
Chu Piaoyun turned her face away resentfully, but he did not apologize. It was as if he had completely forgotten how he had begged Fang Yaqin to plead with He Yi for mercy. Now that there was finally news, she had started to curse and was not the least bit grateful for Fang Yaqin’s help.
Standing up, Fang Yaqin said coldly, “I helped to mediate this matter, but it’s only because Fang Yuan is my biological niece! I’ve done everything that I can. I’ve done my best. Do as you see fit!”
With that, Fang Yaqin took her leave.
After Fang Yaqin left, Chu Chu said to Chu Piaoyun, “Aunt, the most important thing now is to save Fang Yuan first!”
Chu Chu was relying on her aunt and cousin to live. Now that Fang Yuan, who had the best relationship with her, had been captured, she was naturally trying her best to save Fang Yuan.
“No!” Chu Piaoyun shook her head like a rattle-drum. “Wei Jiameng’s family is in decline, and she’s even divorced and has a child. How can such a woman be qualified to enter our Fang family!”
“But,” Chu Chu reminded her helplessly once again, “Fang Yuan’s future is also very important! Yi Ziqiao will be back soon. Could it be that aunt doesn’t want her to continue her relationship with Yi Ziqiao?”
Chu Piaoyun gritted his teeth and paced back and forth in the tea hall, feeling anxious and furious. “They are all useless things. None of them make me feel at ease!”
These words seemed to include Chu Chu’s scolding! Chu Chu could not help but lower her head in a grievance. A hint of resentment and sadness surfaced in her eyes.
After all, living under someone else’s roof was a cruel thing for Chu Chu, who had always been proud and arrogant. It was normal for Chu Piaoyun to be polite and amiable. But now, she was accusing the mulberry tree and scolding the locust tree. How could she not feel wronged?
“Sigh!” Chu Piaoyun patted her forehead lightly, feeling as if she was about to faint from anger. However, the troublesome matter before her needed to be resolved, and she just could not find any other solution.
After a long while, Chu Piaoyun slowly calmed down. She saw that Chu Chu was crying quietly, and she asked in surprise, “Why are you crying?”
“I’m worried for sister Fang Yuan!” Chu Chu was still very smart, and she did not dare to say that she was wronged. “For a girl to stay in such a place for such a long time… it will affect her reputation! Without her reputation, how can she pursue happiness!”
Chu Piaoyun’s heart moved as she thought of Fang Yuan’s thoughts on Yi Ziqiao. This was a great opportunity for the Fang family to get married to the Yi family. Originally, it was a good thing to get married, and the elders of the Yi family were happy to see it happen. However, if Fang Yuan were sentenced, the Yi family would most likely not accept it.
Although He Yi had been in prison before, she had the advantage of giving birth to two children for the Yi family. Otherwise, it would not have been so easy for the Yi family to admit her.
How many women in the world were as lucky as He Yi? How many men could be as infatuated with their wives as they were with He Yi?
After patting her forehead, Chu Piaoyun finally made up her mind. “I’ll go and discuss it with Fang Yuan again!”
As soon as she finished speaking, an indignant voice sounded behind her. “I’m the one who wants to get married. Why didn’t you ever think of discussing it with me?”
Fang Yu walked over with a face full of resentment and glared at his mother.
Chu Piaoyun was stunned. He did not expect Fang Yu to wake up so early. Usually, at this time, he would be lying on the bed and sleeping soundly. “Why are you here?”
“Ha!” Fang Yu laughed angrily and said, “If I didn’t come, I’m afraid that you would have already decided on your marriage. Did you ask for my opinion? Am I dead?”
“Fang Yu!” Chu Piaoyun was furious and scolded, “Do you know who you are talking to?”
Ever since she was young, Fang Yu had always obeyed her orders and never resisted. Although this child was flashy and lazy, he was still very filial. She never thought that one day he would use such a bad attitude and tone to talk to her.
“Of course, I know that you are my mother!” Fang Yu asked back, “But I’m curious, do you know that you are my mother?”
“Bastard!” Chu Piaoyun swung his palm over, but Fang Yu grabbed his wrist. “Unfilial son, are you rebelling?”
“Ever since I was young, have you ever cared about me? I have always lived with your arrangements!” Fang Yu looked at his mother sadly, he complained, “My ignorance today was all because of your deliberate indulgence! You only thought about how to control Wanfang. How to keep your position as the chairman for a long time, and never thought about how to nurture me! That’s fine. I’m not interested in the position of chairman anyway. However, getting married and having children are important matters in life. You don’t even ask about my feelings and opinions, and you’re planning to use it as a bargaining chip in exchange for Fang Yuan’s freedom!Am I your biological child?”
“Am I your biological child?”
When Fang Yu issued this rebuke, it undoubtedly completely overturned the relationship between him and Chu Piaoyun.
Chu Piaoyun’s entire body trembled, and her beautiful eyes opened wide, after a long while, she reprimanded, “Unfilial son, where did you get these disrespectful words from? How could I not care about you? Your father left early, and this family and the Wanfang Corporation were all relying on me alone. How could I have the time to discipline you? You didn’t learn well and didn’t improve. Look at your cousin, Tianyi…”
“Look at my cousin, Tianyi. Now he’s imprisoned outside the prison, borrowing wine to drink all day long. He’s a waste!” Fang Yu did not show any signs of weakness. He solemnly expressed his attitude to Chu Piaoyun. “I won’t agree to marry Wei Jiameng. Give up on that idea!”
Chu Piaoyun was so angry that she almost fainted. “Since you don’t plan to marry her, why did you let her get pregnant!”
“I gave her the medicine to take, but who knew that she would play tricks!” Fang Yu was filled with regret at the mention of this matter. “It’s all my fault. I thought she was so stupid that she would listen to me in everything. I didn’t expect her to play this trick with me.”
In Fang Yu’s eyes, Wei Jimeng’s actions were full of hidden schemes. It was simply wishful thinking to think that a mother would rely on her son. “Give her a sum of money and abort it!”
Chu Piaoyun looked at his son and gritted his teeth. Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind. She seemed to have found a solution to the problem.
“I can’t abort her!” Chu Piaoyun calmed down, and she made the following decision. “Your sister can’t go to jail. She must be released on bail! Besides, although Wei Jiameng is lowly, she is pregnant with the child of our Fang family! For the sake of the child, I can allow her to marry into the family, but the rules of the family will be decided by me!”
A woman without any status or foundation, after marrying into the Fang family, would naturally have to rely on Chu Piaoyun for everything. She suddenly thought that marrying such a daughter-in-law was not a bad thing. As for her, she could easily control her and at the same time control that unborn child — the heir of the next generation of the Wanfang Group!
If Wei Jiameng gave birth to a boy, then he would become the heir of the next generation of the Wanfang Group! Wanfang would forever belong to the male members of the Fang family. The female elders only had management rights and no inheritance rights.
Everything that Chu Piaoyun had now was her son’s! Now that her son was disobedient, she suddenly realized that it was better to let her grandson be the heir! Wei Jiameng had a weak personality. Such a daughter-in-law was undoubtedly very easy to control.
She already had an idea in her heart, but on the surface, she still had to decide after careful consideration. “Fang Yu, Wei Jiameng is carrying your flesh and blood! A living little life, how could you have the heart to kill it!”
“Why has mom suddenly become so kind?” Fang Yu laughed coldly as if he did not believe his mother. “I remember that you did not say that just now!”
“I was so angry just now that I spoke out of spite!” Chu Piaoyun softened her attitude and tone, he explained, “Now that I have calmed down, I feel that nothing is more important than flesh and blood! Mother values your child as well as Fang Yuan. If you marry Wei Jimeng, you’ll be able to reunite your family and save your sister. It’ll be the best of both worlds. Why not?”
*
He Yi sat in her spacious and bright office, handling her work affairs. She was confident and calm.
She had done everything that needed to be done. It was up to the heavens to make things happen! If Chu Piaoyun refused to let go, there was nothing she could do.
At this moment, her phone vibrated. He Yi picked it up and looked at the number on it. Her clear eyes flashed – it was Chu Piaoyun calling!
He Yi could not help but flutter her eyelashes. She did not expect Chu Piaoyun to respond so quickly! She thought that she would hesitate for a long time. After all, Chu Piaoyun was a person who valued her face as much as her life.
Of course, she could not rule out the possibility that Chu Piaoyun would fly into a rage out of humiliation and purposely call to scold He Yi.
He Yi frowned and answered the call. She did not say anything because she knew that the other party would not be able to keep her cool and speak first.
As expected, after a period of silence, Chu Piaoyun’s cold voice traveled over. “If you want her to get married, you would have to let Fang Yuan come out first. Only when the whole family gets together can the wedding be lively!”
“…” He Yi almost choked.
Chu Piaoyun had agreed! And she did not haggle at all!
He Yi felt that something was off. This was because based on her experience with Empress Chu, this did not seem to be her usual style. Unless Empress Chu was willing, no one could make her compromise.
Chu Piaoyun did not complain or say anything unpleasant. She had directly agreed to Fang Yu and Wei Jiameng’s marriage. Perhaps it was because she was willing. Or rather, she was not that unwilling!
He Yi could not find an accurate answer for a moment. Calming herself down, she replied calmly, “That’s not a problem! But before the wedding, we have to get the certificate, right? That way, both parties can rest assured!”
Chu Piaoyun sucked in a breath of air. Her breathing was not very stable. “He Yi, don’t push your luck!”
He Yi was calm “Think about it again! If you’ve thought it through, let me know. If you don’t agree, then forget it! Our Jiameng is a good woman. There’s no need to rush to marry Fang Yu. No matter how illustrious your Fang family is, if you don’t have the sincerity to marry her, it would just be a gorgeous cage!”
Chu Piaoyun’s grinding voice came from the phone. “He Yi, one day I’ll make you regret it!”
“Maybe!” He Yi didn’t take her threat seriously. On the contrary, she was even more certain. Chu Piaoyun’s behavior was enough to show that she was in a mess. That was why she hated her so much.
She didn’t have such a bad temper when she just called to agree to the marriage. The main reason was that He Yi had angered Chu Piaoyun by asking for the marriage certificate first.
It could be seen that this marriage certificate was much more precious than a wedding.
He Yi smiled slightly. She was going to help Wei Jiameng get the most precious thing! The Fang family’s famous and legitimate daughter-in-law, as well as the legitimate heir in her belly!
*
Pushing open the door of Wei Jiameng’s office, He Yi saw her lying on the table and crying bitterly. She could not help being startled. She quickened her pace and walked over, asking, “What’s wrong?”
“Sob…” Wei Jiameng was crying very sadly. Her face was full of tears. It could be seen that she had been crying for quite a while. “Fang Yu called to scold me…”
He Yi’s heart sank. She knew that some things could not be avoided. Empress Chu might be willing to compromise, but Fang Yu would blame all these problems on Wei Jiameng. At the same time, he would vent his anger on her. “Don’t worry about him! Don’t worry about him! Anyway… he’s not the one who makes the decisions in the Fang family!”
“I didn’t force him to marry me!” Wei Jiameng explained aggrievedly, “How could I have the ability to force him?”
He Yi sat down and said indifferently, “I forced him!”
“Ah!” Wei Jiameng was a little surprised and forgot to continue crying. “He Yi, you…”
“I can’t watch you get pregnant before marriage and give birth to an illegitimate child!” He Yi’s expression was cold and resolute, without the slightest hesitation. “This is unfair to the child! He must have a legitimate identity!”
There was no mother who did not want her child to have a legitimate identity, but this was an extravagant hope for Wei Jiameng. She said dejectedly, “The Fang family will not agree! Empress Dowager Chu will not agree!”
Fang Yu had firmly opposed it, so how could empress dowager Chu agree? If it was just the child in her belly… many women were willing to give birth to a child for the Fang family! Wei Jiameng did not dare to have even the slightest bit of confidence.
He Yi, however, was very certain. “Leave this matter to me! From now on, you blacklist Fang Yu and ignore him!”
“Ah!” Wei Jiameng was even more dumbfounded. “He Yi…”
She wanted to say that since she was going to marry Fang Yu, why ask her to blacklist Fang Yu and ignore him? This… wasn’t it puzzling?
“Listen to me!” He Yi gently advised, “When have I ever harmed you?”
“He Yi, tell me, what exactly are you going to do?” Wei Jiameng asked pitifully.
Although she trusted He Yi very much, this was after all a major event in her life. She had to at least know what she was doing!
He Yi pondered for a moment, slowly, she said, “Just to give the child in your belly a title. Don’t let him bear the name of an illegitimate child in the world! Also, the credentials to be the heir of the Fang family, this is very important for you! As for that man Fang Yu… you can give up on him!”
A marriage, a transaction, a plan, that had nothing to do with feelings!
Fang Yu was just a necessary prop for this marriage! After using it, He Yi could discard it. What she was fighting for Wei Jiameng was the identity to be the Fang family’s daughter-in-law, and what she was fighting for her child was to be the legitimate heir of the Fang family!
Looking at Wei Jiameng’s stunned face, He Yi told her with certainty, “Yes, after the wedding, Fang Yu will ignore you! You must take the opportunity to make a scene and leave the Fang family in a fit of anger! At that time, I will send someone to pick you up!”
