Although Liang Yu announced that Yun Shen was involved in an investigation due to Gao You’s undercover requirements, no one in the company believed him, except for fools.
Fortunately, Yun Shen had always been quite formidable, and his subordinates were capable, so no major chaos ensued.
"Assistant Liang, what exactly happened to the president?" Yan Yuzhen asked curiously, feeling somewhat uneasy. With Yun’s recently facing continuous turbulence, many people sensed something unusual. Could it be that Yun’s was really going to go under?
Liang Yu glanced at her indifferently, "Secretary Yan, you’d better forget what you just heard. Don’t pry into matters you shouldn’t, curiosity killed the cat."
Yan Yuzhen’s eyes flashed as she pouted, "I was just joking with you, and you took it seriously. What words? I can’t seem to remember them."
Liang Yu’s lips curved slightly; this woman had grown much smarter.
"Ah, I still have a few files waiting for me to sort out, no more nonsense with you." With those words, she turned and left on her high heels.
The office returned to its quiet state.
Liang Yu stood still for a while, then took out his cell phone and made a call.
Looking out the window at the bustling cityscape, his eyes were dark and deep.
"The person has just been taken away by the police, should we implement the first step of the plan?" Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on novel-fire.net
Yun Ya looked at the darkened screen of her phone, unable to clearly identify the mix of emotions within her.
Those three words lingered beside her ear, tugging at her mind, sour and tangled in her heart.
Wasn’t this the outcome she wanted to see? Why then, at this very moment, did her heart ache?
This was the fate he deserved; she couldn’t shield him from the wrong he had done just because he was her biological father.
Yun Ya sternly warned herself, taking a deep breath.
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door, "Young Miss, it’s terrible, I just saw the news, your son-in-law has been taken away by the police."
Yun Ya replied coldly, "What son-in-law?"
Ji Die slapped her mouth, "Look at me, getting all flustered and forgetting, what son-in-law, just a scumbag."
The main thing was that living in this estate, the past always echoed in her mind, and she unconsciously changed how she referred to Yun Shen.
"Yun Shen has been taken away by the police, he hasn’t gotten into trouble, has he?" Ji Die asked, her eyes stealthily observing Yun Ya’s expression. Seeing that Yun Ya’s eyes were rather cold, she shivered involuntarily; after all, he was the young miss’s biological father, surely there must be some affection.
"Whatever crime he committed, it has nothing to do with us," Yun Ya declared coldly.
"That’s true, he deserved what came to him for all his misdeeds," Ji Die grumbled, filled with indignation. "He caused such misery to the young miss and did such things to the young miss and young master, embezzled Ji’s assets, was heartless and ungrateful, his death would not be lamented."
Yun Ya furrowed her brows, looking at Ji Die who was filled with righteous anger, and spoke lightly, "Brother Ah Du has already told Uncle Qin about your pregnancy."
Ji Die’s face turned pale, her hands tightly clutched the hem of her skirt as she looked down.
"He... must despise me now."
Yun Ya walked over and took her hand, "No, Uncle Qin is willing to take responsibility; he will marry you."
Ji Die looked up incredulously, "Really?"
Yun Ya, gazing into Ji Die’s eyes filled with surprise and anticipation, slowly nodded, "These are Uncle Qin’s own words. I’ve told you before, he is more responsible than the average man."
Inwardly, she cursed herself for her own despicable thoughts, yet she couldn’t stop herself from proceeding. Aunt Die and Uncle Qin would surely be happy together, she consoled herself internally.
Perhaps this would lessen the guilt she felt inside.
Such happiness, fragile like a bubble, couldn’t withstand any turmoil. Moreover, she was well aware that if one day she came back, the struggle and choices they would face would be immense.
So talking about happiness now was laughable indeed.
But in life, one should at least try a different choice, for there might be another possibility.
Overcome with joy, Ji Die suddenly hugged Yun Ya, "I never imagined I could marry him. I’m frightened yet overjoyed. What if he doesn’t child... "
"He won’t, Uncle Qin’s favorite thing is children, otherwise, he wouldn’t have adopted Brother Ah Du from the orphanage back then. Becoming a father in his later years, he will only love the child more," Yun Ya reassured her softly.
It was time for her routine medication. Ji Die looked at the white pills in her palm, glancing at Yun Ya, then bit her lip. She poured all the pills into her mouth and washed them down with water.
"If I have time these next few days, I’ll take you to meet Uncle Qin. As for the specifics, you two can talk it out," Yun Ya said casually as she took the water cup.
Ji Die’s eyelashes trembled, she lowered her gaze and placed a hand on her abdomen, uttering a soft "Mm" in acknowledgment.
