A Delightful Marriage with Twins - Chapter 128
Chapter 128: 37. Play Along
He Yi was also gambling on Wei Jiameng’s marriage. She knew that she couldn’t bet on her lifelong happiness, but when Wei Jiameng insisted on having a child, she knew that she was destined to have no future with happiness.
Anyway, the pregnant Wei Jiameng couldn’t pursue love with marriage, for the time being, so He Yi took this opportunity to let her marry into the Fang family.
She did not expect Wei Jiameng to be in harmony with Fang Yu as his wife. She was only fighting for an identity for her and the child.
Fang Yu was useless, but the identity as the Fang family’s daughter-in-law and heir could save Wei Jiameng and the child a lot of trouble in the future.
With the protection of this identity, Wei Jiameng and the child’s situation would be much better.
If Wei Jiameng gave birth to a girl, she would be born with the halo of the Fang family’s daughter. Even if Wei Jiameng and Fang Yu divorced in the future, the blood ties would not change. The Fang family’s daughter would still be precious. In the future, she would be able to find a good family for marriage.
If Wei Jiameng gave birth to a boy, then he would be the next heir of the Wanfang Group. As the mother of the heir, Wei Jiameng would be the next Chu Piaoyun.
Even if Wei Jiameng did not have the talent to do business, He Yi could help her! Being able to give birth to the Fang family’s heir, then Wei Jiameng’s future would naturally not be too bad. If her husband was unreliable, she could still rely on her son!
He Yi had planned so much for Wei Jiameng, hoping that her future would be a little smoother, and not enter a dead end with a stubborn view.

…
He Yi found Zhuo Hongzhao and asked him if he was willing to give up on the matter of investigating the real murderer and if he was willing to forgive Fang Yuan who hired the murderer.
Zhuo Hongzhao did not have any feelings for his first wife, to begin with, so he would naturally listen to He Yi’s arrangements for this matter. “President He, just deal with it as you see fit! Anyway… I don’t have any objections!”
He Yi was a graduate of law, so she naturally understood the standards of the law when it came to sentencing. In her heart, she was worried about what she could do to achieve her goal and not let go of this opportunity to punish Fang Yuan seriously.
Just as she was deep in thought, her cell phone rang. She took it over and took a look. It was an unfamiliar number.
He Yi did not know who it was, but the call was connected. “Hello, may I know who it is?”
“Miss He,” an elegant and cheerful voice came from the phone. “It’s me, Molly!”
Molly! He Yi searched her mind and finally found the owner of the name. It was a beautiful, elegant, and stunning overseas investor. In Nanhai City, she was the last person to appear at a bidding party. At the same time, she was also an investor that the mayor, Shang Yongping, paid special attention to and won over.
“Hello, Hello!” He Yi immediately greeted her. At the same time, she asked with some confusion, “Miss Molly, what do you want to see me about?”
It was really strange that Molly suddenly remembered to call her. As an investor from overseas, Molly was the most sought-after person in the business world. Even Shang Yongping had his eyes on her.
“I’m already in Yun City!” Molly chuckled and said, “Mayor Shang is now the mayor of Yun City!”
“Oh!” He Yi suddenly realized. “I heard about it from Liangze a few weeks ago. Mayor Shang has been transferred here!”
“Mayor Shang just officially took office today! You knew about it a few weeks ago!” Molly said with admiration, “It’s not easy!”
The two of them exchanged a few words. He Yi learned that Molly had followed Shang Yongping to Yun City for investment and was planning to build a large-scale shopping, entertainment, and food mall and was looking for a partner.
“After we parted in Nanhai, Miss He’s intelligence and talent have always been something I admire! This time, following Mayor Shang to Yun City to develop industries, I thought of you as the best business partner!” Molly suggested enthusiastically. “I hope to cooperate with you in the development of a large-scale shopping, entertainment, and food Mall this time!”
Logically speaking, this was an opportunity that she could not have hoped for. If it was a few months ago, she would naturally be overjoyed. But at this moment, she was a little dispirited. “A few days ago, I handed over the shares of Rong Yi to Kai Kun. It’s not that I’m not willing to make money, but… I really can’t be in two places at once! After all, I’m a married person. I need to take care of both my family and my two children…”
Molly didn’t think much of He Yi’s tactful rejection. “I’m an investor. Looking for someone to cooperate with within a business depending on her strength and connections, as well as her character and personality. “Miss He’s strength and connections naturally don’t need to be described in detail. Even her character and personality are deeply in my heart! To be able to cooperate with Miss He is simply a great honor for me! “Miss He doesn’t need to invest too much energy and time in the shopping mall business. As long as it’s a joint venture between the two of us, we can rely on Master Yi’s connection. The business will go very smoothly!”
So she had taken a liking to Yi Liangze’s connection! He Yi Thought for a moment and explained with a smile, “My husband is very busy. He usually can’t take care of my business!”
She had to get rid of Molly’s thoughts as soon as possible. She didn’t expect Yi Liangze to help her at every turn. He Yi wasn’t used to relying on Yi Liangze. She mostly relied on herself to run the Leather Factory’s business!
“It doesn’t matter! As long as he is my partner’s husband, it will be glorious enough!” Molly’s request was not high. “Miss He, I hope to cooperate with you!”
It seemed that there was the principle of the merchant not to reject a deal that was delivered to his door. He Yi blinked her clear eyes and felt that this was a good thing after all. A large-scale shopping mall and gourmet square could not be compared to Rong Yi, so it should not be that difficult to manage!
“Then… Alright!” He Yi finally agreed and inquired, “When shall we meet to talk?”
*
He Yi remembered that Yi Liangze had said that Shang Yongping had a wife, and the two of them had a daughter who had gone abroad to study.
Now that Shang Yongping had been transferred to Yun City, his wife was still in Nanhai. And the person who followed him to Yun City was Molly!
Shang Yongping was very caring and supportive of Molly. In the past, in Nanhai, now in Yun City, he strongly supported Molly as an investor.
Molly did not disappoint him. One by one, businesses were built up and contributed significantly to economic growth. Of course, it was hard to say whether Molly and Shang Yongping had an ambiguous relationship. He Yi was also not interested in prying into other people’s privacy.
The two met for the first time in Yun City in a city hall conference room. Shang Yongping was there as expected.
The newly appointed Mayor naturally hoped that the local economy could take a step up, and Molly working with the wife of Kai Kun’s CEO would be the perfect combination.
Molly’s assistant gave He Yi a proposal, and Xiao Wen took it and gave it to He Yi.
He Yi flipped through a few pages and felt that the proposal was very thorough and detailed. It seemed that a lot of effort had been put into it. She nodded in satisfaction and said, “It’s an honor to be able to work with Miss Molly!”
From what she said, she had agreed!
However, He Yi was unable to split the funds because her happiness had just started. Although the business was in full swing, she could not take out too much money to invest at the moment.
If Rong Yi had not handed over the money to Kai Kun, she could take a gamble.
Molly blinked her beautiful eyes and reminded him, “Your husband is the CEO of Kai Kun. With him around, do you still have to worry about a mere billion?”
He Yi still shook her head and smiled, “Kai Kun is a family business, not his private property. Even if he is the CEO, he can’t misappropriate it!”
Looking at the amount of cooperation He Yi gave, only 300 million, Molly could not help but curl her lips, but she still maintained her elegant smile. “Alright then! Although the amount of joint venture is a little small, it still makes me very happy to be able to work with Miss He!”
Since she did not mind the few hundred million, He Yi also finalized the contract with her. Then, they each signed the contract and began to plan the launching of the shopping mall.
*
Just as He Yi was busy planning the launch of the gourmet shopping mall, Chu Piaoyun called again.
“Hurry up and bring Wei Jiameng here to get married!” Chu Piaoyun’s tone was still arrogant, but there was a trace of exasperation and unwillingness.
He Yi was slightly startled. She didn’t expect Chu Piaoyun to be so efficient. This was good too. At least they could hold the wedding before Wei Jiameng’s belly bulged.
“Okay, I’ll bring her over now!” He Yi asked for the address and immediately called Qi Lin, asking him to send a few trustworthy people along with Ji Xueshan to protect her and Wei Jiameng’s safety.
*
When dealing with an overbearing person like Empress Chu, one had to be constantly on guard against the other party turning hostile and biting people at any time. The main reason was that He Yi had suffered from her too many times.
This time, she brought Wei Jiameng to the Civil Affairs Bureau fully armed. It didn’t seem like she was here to register her marriage, but more like she was here to fight.
Chu Piaoyun was about the same. She brought quite several people with her. The people she brought were so they would be able to control Fang Yu.
Fang Yu was tied up with a towel stuffed in his mouth. His handsome eyes were full of resentment and unwillingness. His struggles and protests were useless. Chu Piaoyun ordered him to be tied up.
In the VIP room, Wei Jiameng sat next to He Yi, and Chu Piaoyun sat next to Fang Yu. The staff brought the registration form and asked them to sign it.
Fang Yu’s signature was done by someone else. Wei Jiameng felt a little heartache, so she whispered, “If he’s unwilling… even if…”
He Yi slapped Wei Jiameng’s leg and reminded her coldly, “If he is unwilling, who will be responsible for the child in your belly? Quickly sign it!”
Wei Jiameng was a coward and had always listened to He Yi. Although she felt that it was inappropriate, she still picked up the pen and signed her name on the registration form.
After the two signed their names, they stamped the steel stamp and then took a photo.
Fang Yu was still tied up, but the towel in his mouth was removed. He sat next to Wei Jimeng with a resentful look on his face. “Why are you forcing me? I don’t want to marry her! I don’t want her!”
“Shut up!” Chu Piaoyun snapped, “Enough!”
“Are you my biological mother?” Fang Yu looked at Chu Piaoyun in confusion, “Have you ever considered my feelings?”
“Cooperate a little!” Chu Piaoyun instructed the photographer beside him. “Choose a suitable angle and take a good shot!”
What she meant was that the shot should not look like a bride-snatcher. Even though the scene in front of her was indeed a real-life bride-snatcher!
Perhaps because he knew that he was doomed, Fang Yu gave up struggling and resigned himself to his fate.
“Wei Jiameng, I didn’t think that I would end up with you…” Fang Yu gritted his teeth and glared at Wei Jiameng beside him. His gaze didn’t look like he was looking at his new wife, but rather, it was like he was looking at a pile of filth that made him sick to his stomach.
Wei Jiameng’s heart was broken. She still didn’t understand why He Yi and Yi Liangze’s wedding photos were so sweet and affectionate, but theirs had become completely unrecognizable and unsightly in front of her and Fang Yu!
At least they had finished taking the photos. It seemed that they were just barely passable. Everyone waited on the spot. About ten minutes later, two new marriage certificates were issued.
He Yi had the accompanying lawyer verify the authenticity of the marriage certificates. After confirming that there were no mistakes, she carefully put away Wei Jiameng’s marriage certificate.
“Can you let Fang Yuan out now?” Chu Piaoyun asked impatiently.
He Yi shrugged and smiled faintly. “The police station isn’t run by my family. How could I be so capable?”
“You…” Chu Piaoyun’s expression changed.
“But Zhuo Hongzhao has already expressed his forgiveness to the employer who hired the murderer! He will also plead on her behalf during the trial, saying that she has already tried her best to compensate her family members financially and requested the judge to give her a lighter sentence!” He Yi looked at Chu Piaoyun, and said, “Now, you can bail her out first and let her attend her brother and sister-in-law’s wedding!”
Chu Piaoyun was furious and said, “You promised me…”
“I promised that I would help you, but the death penalty can be pardoned, but it’s hard to escape the punishment!” He Yi shrugged her shoulders, feeling very helpless. “If I don’t help you, she will be sentenced to death! It’s not better to die than to stay alive. Going to jail is much better than getting shot! I was framed by chairman Chu and her nephew for five years. I’m doing well now! There’s always hope!”
“B*stard!” Chu Piaoyun slammed the table and said, “The wedding is canceled! And I can get them a divorce certificate right now!”
“It’s not up to you!” He Yi spread out her hands, “Anyway, they are already legally recognized as a couple. Whether they want to have a wedding or not will not change this fact! I’m afraid that you can’t ask them to divorce for the time being! Jiameng is pregnant. The court will not award a divorce during pregnancy and lactation! Wait until the child turns one year old, then they’ll divorce!”
He Yi stared at Chu Piaoyun’s face, ready to admire his furious look.
Sure enough, Chu Piaoyun was about to go crazy from anger. At the same time, she suddenly realized that she had fallen into He Yi’s trap. “So you only wanted this marriage certificate!”
She thought that He Yi was the same as Wei Jiameng. In her mind, she only thought about how to marry into the Fang family, how to be Fang Yu’s wife, and how to be the young madam of the Fang family. But she was extremely wrong!
So He Yi’s goal was just this marriage certificate!
With it, it was enough to prove that Wei Jiameng and Fang Yu’s marriage was legal. The child born to Wei Jiameng was the rightful heir of the Fang family!
Regardless of whether there was a wedding or not, it was the same!
“You mean to say that the two of them don’t need to hold a wedding?” Chu Piaoyun stared at He Yi.
This was a very strange thing. As the parties involved, Fang Yu and Wei Jiameng were like two props that completed their necessary mission and were pushed aside, the ones who exchanged blows were He Yi and Chu Piaoyun.
“Of course, we’re going to have a wedding!” He Yi blinked her eyes. “Don’t you wish for a kind and gentle daughter-in-law like Jiameng to enter the Fang Family?”
Thousands of thoughts swirled in Chu Piaoyun’s mind, but a voice repeatedly reminded her, “You must be careful of He Yi trickery again!”
She had already fallen into her trap, and she could not fall into it again! However, if she did not marry Wei Jiameng into the family, how could she properly manipulate her?
If she fell out with her, she would not be able to get a divorce even if she wanted to! Because Wei Jiameng was pregnant, she could not get a divorce during pregnancy. After she gave birth to the child, she could not get a divorce while she was breastfeeding!
She could only file a lawsuit for divorce when the child turned one year old. Such a long period was enough for He Yi to do a lot of stunts to promote Fang Yu and Wei Jiameng’s marriage!
The newly-released marriage certificate was the most powerful evidence for He Yi. She firmly controlled the Fang family and used this fact to make a big fuss about the marriage.
At this moment, it seemed that a wedding was not that important! No wonder He Yi did not forcefully propose the marriage but insisted on obtaining the marriage certificate first.
Chu Piaoyun took a deep breath and held back her emotions for a long time. She said hatefully, “Pick a good day and let the two of them get married!”
It was very likely that this was another trap, but Chu Piaoyun could not care less. She had to use this opportunity to think of a way to get rid of Wei Jiameng’s child!
Regardless of whether the child in Wei Jiameng’s stomach was a boy or a girl, it could be used by He Yi to deal with her. If it was a boy, it would be even worse because he would become the next successor of Wanfang Group, and Wei Jiameng would be the legal guardian of the successor. As a grandmother, as long as her biological mother was alive, Chu Piaoyun could not overstep his authority.
Originally, Chu Piaoyun wanted to use Wei Jiameng’s weak character to easily control her and achieve the goal of controlling the next successor. But now, it seems like the mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole catches the cicada. So it turned out that He Yi had the same idea. This was too terrifying!
Chu Piaoyun sensed He Yi’s intentions. Of course, the first thing she thought of was how to get rid of the child in Wei Jiameng’s stomach. This way, there would be no more trouble in the future. Moreover, she could immediately get her son to divorce Wei Jiameng.
“I’ll go bail Fang Yuan out now! After her case is tried, we’ll hold the wedding for Fang Yu and Wei Jiameng!” Chu Piaoyun used the wedding as bait, thinking of reducing Fang Yuan’s case sentence by a few years.
He Yi nodded with a smile. “Alright! I’m very supportive of Chairman Chu’s decision!”
*
Back at the factory, Wei Jiameng was still in a trance, as if she could not believe that she and Fang Yu were already legally married.
“He Yi, can I take another look at the marriage certificate?” Wei Jiameng pleaded.
He Yi shook her head, took out the marriage certificate, and placed it in front of Wei Jiameng. “This thing is too important, you must not lose it! You can take photos and videos, and watch them again and again when you have nothing to do, but the original must be placed with me, I will keep it for you!”
Wei Jiameng naturally trusted He Yi, she also felt that she was in the middle of something, maybe she could use this precious thing, so she nodded. “Okay!”
After repeatedly playing with it for a long time, Wei Jiameng returned the marriage certificate to He Yi, still not satisfied. “I’ve already taken photos and videos. Put it away!”
After saying that, she dreamily covered her face, pretending to be happy. “I can’t believe it. I’m Fang Yu’s wife!”
He Yi put away the marriage certificate and instructed Qi Lin, “Pick ten of the best bodyguards to follow her in and out. Also, pick two female bodyguards who know a little about medicine. Even when taking a shower or going to the bathroom, you have to watch over her and take care of her!”
Only then did Wei Jiameng realize that there were many strange and fierce men around her, and she was shocked. “He Yi, what is this?”
“You are in danger now!” He Yi told her the truth. “Empress Dowager Chu will send people to take your life or the life of the child in your belly at any time! For the sake of safety, I have to send more people to watch over you!”
“I. . .” Wei Jiameng was frightened and asked, “Why… Why?”
“You’d better pray that you give birth to a girl!” He Yi looked at her with sympathy in her clear eyes. “If it’s a boy, he will become a thorn in Empress Dowager Chu’s flesh!”
Wei Jiameng had heard about this from He Yi, but she still couldn’t accept it at this point. “Fang Yu and I have already gotten our marriage certificate!”
“It’s just a marriage contract!” He Yi smiled bitterly and shook her head. “It can only guarantee that you have a legal marriage status, nothing else is of any use! You’ve seen Fang Yu’s attitude, Empress Chu is so scary… you’ll slowly understand it in the future!”
“What about the wedding?” Wei Jiameng held on to her last glimmer of hope and asked weakly, “Can the wedding still be held?”
She even dreamed of marrying Fang Yu. Even though she knew that he did not love her and was extremely reluctant when she received the marriage certificate, she still dreamed of having a luxurious wedding. Although she did not expect it to be as luxurious as the wedding that He Yi had chosen, it would at least make it glorious and let the entire Yun City know that she, Wei Jiameng, had openly married Fang Yu!
“It should be held!” After He Yi said that, she saw Wei Jiameng’s watery eyes light up, and then she said indifferently, “Empress Dowager Chu wants to get rid of you or the child in your belly. This is the only way!”
“Ah!” Wei Jiameng was frightened. She staggered back a few steps and almost fell to the ground.
“Be careful!” He Yi rushed forward to support her and reproached, “Take care of your body, you can’t fall now!”
“I…” The blush on Wei Jiameng’s face had completely disappeared. Tears welled up in her watery eyes as she choked, “I feel so bad… He Yi, aren’t you trying to scare me with these words?”
Although she couldn’t bear it, He Yi still hardened her heart and broke Wei Jiameng’s last fantasy. “Of course not! You only need to know that Empress Dowager Chu will not allow the child in your belly to be born. The wedding is just a pretense. If you step into the Fang family, she will have ten thousand ways to end you and the child’s lives, and she will not let the outside world see anything strange.”
Wei Jiameng was so frightened that she hugged He Yi, shivering. “He Yi, save me, save my child!”
At this time, the person she could ask for help was not the child’s father, but He Yi.
“As long as you listen to me and do as I say, nothing will go wrong!” He Yi was very confident in this. “As long as Empress Chu has agreed for you to marry into the Fang family, she has tied herself up in a cocoon!”
*
Chu Piaoyun finally successfully bailed out Fang Yuan, and the mother and daughter hugged and cried bitterly.
When Fang Yuan found out that her eldest brother had already gotten a marriage certificate with Wei Jiameng and that he needed to hold the wedding before her trial started, she was shocked, she firmly opposed, “No! Absolutely not! How can a lowly woman like Wei Jiameng be worthy of marrying into our Fang Family? How can she be worthy of giving birth to our Fang family’s future heir!”
Chu Chu said helplessly, “There’s no other way! To save you, aunt has made a compromise!”
However, Fang Yuan refused to compromise no matter what. “I’d rather go to jail than let Wei Jiameng marry into our family! This is simply a stain on our Fang family’s name!”
After a long time, Chu Piaoyun smiled coldly. “When she marries in, we’ll have a way to end her.
