The living room was empty when she returned but Zi Xu’s room was left unlocked.
Zi Yi returned to her room and coincidentally heard Li Peirong speaking to Zi Lian. “You have to eat a little. No matter what, your health is the most important.”
“Aunt Peirong, I have no appetite.” Zi Lian’s voice contained traces of worry as she asked, “Will Uncle Xu let He Fei be responsible?”
“He will. It was the Fourth Young Master He who forced himself on you. If he intends to be irresponsible, the Zi family will not let him off.”
“En.” After Zi Lian received a positive answer, she was obviously much more relieved.
“Therefore, you have to eat more. If you are pregnant with Fourth Young Master He’s child, the He Family will definitely recognize the child regardless of their plans. As the mother of the child, is there a need to fear not receiving the title of the Fourth Madam?”
“This…”
Zi Yi walked into her own room, closed the door, took out her phone, and hacked into the Young Master He’s residence.
In the He Family’s villa, Master He, Madam He, He Fei, and Zi Xu were sitting down.
All their expressions did not seem to be good.
Zi Xu evidently feared the He family and his tone was not very forceful. “No matter what, my niece has been taken by the Fourth Young Master He. Shouldn’t he take responsibility?”
“Take responsibility?” He Fei’s expression turned livid as he gnashed his teeth. “Even though I was drugged, I didn’t lose consciousness. Do you know why your niece entered the men’s restroom?”
“Was it not because Fourth Young Master He pulled her inside?” Zi Xu furrowed his brows.
“It was.”
Just as Zi Xu was about to relax, he heard He Fei’s sneer. “Why don’t you ask what she said to me, which resulted in my actions?”
“What did she say?” Zi Xu’s expression changed. In the end, it seemed like he was secretly restraining himself as he asked, “I only wish to ask if you’ve done anything to my niece?”
He Fei continued to sneer. “You can also check with your good niece on this matter. What does she intend to do with me? And what did we do inside the restroom?”
He Fei did not reveal anything, which caused Zi Xu’s expression to turn ugly. However, he was helpless to deal with He Fei.
Just then, Master He who was putting tons of pressure on Zi Xu with his solemn expression finally spoke up. “Mr. Zi, our family fancies your daughter, Zi Yi. Not others from the Zi Family.
With this incident that your niece has caused today, there are only two choices I shall give you. First, it’s Ah Fei to marry your daughter. Second, if your family is adamant, Ah Fei will cut off all contact with your daughter.”
When He Fei heard his father, his expression finally eased.
On the other hand, Zi Xu’s heart accelerated for no reason.
He came here today because he was afraid the He family would be dissatisfied with the incident today, and at that time, he would have to return with wasted efforts. With what Master He said today, was there still a need for a choice?
However, he still had to pretend to be in a dilemma.
“This… Master He. This problem, I can’t make a choice.”
“It seems like Mr. He is unable to arrive at a decision right away. How about this? I’ll give you a day’s time to think and you will give me your answer after tomorrow.”
Zi Yi sneered upon hearing this. “Ha, what a good father.”
Subsequently, she switched off the video.
Following this, a cold glint flashed past her eyes as her hands held her phone.
Zi Xu didn’t come back until eleven o’clock.
Li Peirong had been waiting in the living room. The moment he returned, she hastily greeted him and asked, “Ah Xu, how did the talk go with the He family?”
After Zi Xu returned, Zi Lian had heard the commotion. She opened the door slightly and stood behind it to eavesdrop.
Zi Xu suppressed his internal excitement and told her about the choices Master He gave him.
He also added, “Don’t tell Lianlian and Yiyi about this for the time being.”
Zi Yi had always been unwilling to marry He Fei. He was worried that she would be more insistent after tonight’s incident.
As for Zi Lian, he had to think of a way for her to give up.
Li Peirong’s expression turned stiff while Zi Lian, who was hiding behind the door, almost broke the door handle out of anger.
