A Delightful Marriage with Twins - Chapter 67

Chapter 67: 67. Couldn’t afford to lose anymore

It wasn’t even the end of school yet, but Wan Wan walked out of the kindergarten. He Yi was waiting for her outside.

“Wan Wan.” He Yi’s expression seemed a little tired, but when he saw Wan Wan, she couldn’t help smiling. “Come here!”

Wan Wan walked to He Yi’s side, feeling a little strange. “School hasn’t ended yet, why are you here to pick me up?”

“Let’s talk about it after we get in the car.” He Yi’s tone was very light, so light that it was like a sigh that went with the wind.

He Yi drove the car into Xingyue bay once again and stopped at the door of her former home.

“Mom, you… Are You taking me home?” Wan Wan looked at the familiar door and was indescribably surprised. Her small body started to tremble slightly.

He Yi sat there without moving. The gaze she cast at the door was cold and sorrowful. After a moment of silence, she said, “Wan Wan, do you know whose house this is?”

“It’s Dad’s!” Wan Wan’s answer was very definite without any doubt.

He Yi coldly curled the corner of her mouth and suppressed the fury and hatred in her heart, she said coldly, “This is the house your grandfather left behind. The bricks, tiles, plants, and furniture inside… were all set up by your grandfather. Your mother loved to play on swings, so he specially sent someone to fly the swings straight from France. Your mother loved to play the piano, so he specially set up the piano room for me… Your mother spent a happy childhood in this family, a happy youth until she grew up to be the Golden Rose of Yun City’s upper-class society.”

“Oh.” Wan Wan blinked her big eyes, looking a little lost. “I’ve never heard father mention Grandpa.”

He Yi gritted her teeth, determined not to express any dissatisfaction toward Chu Tianyi in front of Wan Wan. She took a deep breath and continued, “Later, your mother and Grandpa were schemed against. The He Corporation went bankrupt and was auctioned off. All the assets and real estate under Grandpa’s name were seized and auctioned off…”

“What about grandfather?” This was the first time Wan Wan heard about her grandfather, and it was also the first time she took the initiative to ask about him.

He Yi could hear the concern in the girl’s tone. She turned her head and looked back, she smiled sadly. “Before Wan Wan was born, grandfather passed away. However, he had always loved me deeply, and he also loved Wan Wan deeply. Even in the peaceful and prosperous times, he still made plans for us- mother and daughter. He prepared real estate for us just in case, and registered it under my name! However, the He Company was gone, and even the home that grandfather left behind… became someone else’s home! Now, we have a home that we can not return to, so we can only watch at the door. Grandfather is also watching from the side. He’s just as unhappy as mother!”

After a long while, Wan Wan asked softly, “Did father occupy grandfather’s home?”

He Yi’s heart trembled. What a smart child. She had to be very careful when speaking in front of her. Using all her strength, she squeezed out a faint smile. “It doesn’t matter. After all, Grandpa’s house is being auctioned. It’s the same for everyone. If your father doesn’t buy it, it will belong to another buyer.”

…

“Oh.” Wan Wan was relieved. “It’s fine as long as it’s not Daddy’s company!”

He Yi clenched her fists and allowed her nails to dig into her flesh. The pain forced her to make up her mind. “Wan Wan, you are the only descendant of the He family. Your grandfather’s assets will be inherited by you in the future. Therefore, you must help your grandfather get back the lost assets and the house that originally belonged to us. This is your unshirkable responsibility and obligation. Do you understand?”

Wan Wan was stunned, but in the end, she still asked, “Mother, what can I do for Grandfather?”

“The enemy who killed your grandfather stole the He family’s property, and destroyed our family, left behind a piece of evidence. It’s in the house your grandfather left behind. But mother can’t go in now. The only person who can get the evidence is you.” He Yi took a deep breath, and continued softly, “Wan Wan, whether your grandfather gets his revenge and we take back our lost home, is all up to you.”

After a strange silence, Wan Wan raised her head again, her big eyes full of confusion. “If we take back this house, can father still live in it?”

He Yi laughed out of extreme hatred and said in a soft voice, “Of course. As long as he is willing, we can always make a few houses available for him.”

Since the He family accommodates bodyguards and servants, they didn’t care about another Chu Tianyi. Of course, if he was willing to live in the He family as a bodyguard or servant, it would be fine.

“Oh, that’s great!” This was a fairytale happy ending for Wan Wan. After chasing away the mean aunt, the vicious stepmother, and the crybaby brother, only she and her favorite parents would stay in the house left by her grandfather, staying together and enjoying the happiness of the family. From then on, they would live a happy and comfortable life.

When He Yi saw that Wan Wan readily agreed, she tied a pendant to Wan Wan’s neck and put a small mobile phone like a cartoon watch on her wrist. After the equipment was ready, she leaned over and said finally to Wan Wan, “Remember, this matter must not be known by a third person. That memory card is extremely important. Whether our He family rises again or not, or your grandfather gets avenged depends on it. You, Mom, and our grandfather who is watching us from the sky, the three of us are one. As the only descendant of the He family’s three generations, Wan Wan, your responsibility can not be shirked. We can only win, we can not lose, because… we can not afford to lose anymore!”

It was already evening when they returned to the leather factory.

Fang Yu stopped the car and helped Wei Jiameng unload the heavy plastic bucket. Then, he helped her carry it up the office building with enthusiasm.

After pushing open He Yi’s office, Wei Jiameng used the key to open a safe. Then, she asked Fang Yu to help her lock the plastic bucket into the safe.

Fang Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead and could not help but question, “This dirty and filthy thing is locked into the safe like a treasure. Is it going to be left for making soup to drink?”

“I don’t know either.” Wei Jiameng chuckled and said truthfully, “He Yi told me to collect these things. I guess… They have their uses!”

Wei Jiameng couldn’t understand most of what He Yi did, but she would do it because she believed in He Yi’s intelligence and ability. She felt that He Yi always had a reason for doing things, and her intelligence was limited. If she kept asking questions, it would waste He Yi’s precious time, and she would look too stupid. Therefore, Wei Jiameng slowly developed a good habit of doing things without saying much by He Yi’s side.

Looking at Wei Jiameng’s appearance, Fang Yu couldn’t help rolling his eyes. But if he wanted to get close to He Yi, he had to use this silly woman in front of him as a bridge. “Where’s the washroom? I want to wash my hands.”

“Over there.” Wei Jiameng was very enthusiastic and active. As she guided him over, she suggested, “You’re sweating all over. Go take a shower. I’ll get you a towel.”

Fang Yu had always liked to be clean. He had just moved the pigeon droppings, and just thinking about it made him feel disgusted. If it weren’t for Wen Siling and He Yi, he wouldn’t have done such a dirty and tiring job.

Just as he was about to walk in, he heard Wei Jiameng shout, “He Yi is back! Eh, why did she only bring Ge Ge back? Where’s Wan Wan?”
