After the divorce, the CEO forced me to have his child.

Chapter 299 Never Lost a Lawsuit

“I will send more people to protect you. We won’t be staying in hotels this time when we return to China. I have already arranged fixed accommodations there with very tight security. I will also have someone follow Niu Niu around the clock. There won’t be any problems.”

"Thank you, Brother Xiao Lin."

“Fool, don’t be so polite with me. But you might need to talk to Yifei about it. He’s actually in a difficult situation. Although he said he’s willing to help you, those are his relatives after all. I suggest we stop here and not let him get involved in what happens next.”

"Ah."

The next day, Gu Zhiyao told Yifei about it.

Yifei quickly chimed in, "Zhiyao, I told you before..."

“Yes, Yifei, I understand your feelings, otherwise I wouldn’t have kept things from you. But no matter what they’ve done, they are still your family. Blood is thicker than water. No matter how bad they are to outsiders, they really love and care for you. If you go against them, they will definitely be very sad, especially your great-grandmother.”

“When they hurt you, did they ever think about how others would feel?” Yifei said.

“Yes, but I still think you shouldn’t go against them, because when they’re sad, you’ll feel bad too, Yifei. I don’t want you to be sad or heartbroken.” Gu Zhiyao looked at him sincerely.

Yifei could no longer speak.

“If you want to go back to China, you can go back, but you don’t need to get involved in what happens next. Actually, Brother Xiao Lin has already arranged everything. Nobody knows what the future holds. We can only do our best and leave the rest to fate,” Gu Zhiyao continued.

“Brother Xiao is indeed very capable, and he cares about you a lot,” Yi Fei added.

Gu Zhiyao smiled and nodded, "Actually, I'm quite lucky. Although I've met some bad people, I've also met many good people. You are all my most precious friends, and I will remember you for the rest of my life!"

Having persuaded Yifei, Gu Zhiyao officially began preparing to return to China. A week later, everyone returned to China, and then an indictment was delivered to He Yi.

He Yi happened to have an old classmate who worked in the court. After receiving the indictment, the classmate contacted He Yi immediately.

After reading the entire indictment, He Yi froze, then fell into a long silence.

"Ayi, is all of this true? Chenchen isn't your child with Zheng Yuanxi? But... this woman named Gu Zhiyao?" Shao Yuan asked.

He Yi remained silent, but having been classmates, Shao Yuan naturally understood and couldn't help but sigh inwardly!

Although he didn't contact He Yi very often, their relationship was still quite good, and they met no less than five times a year.

They know He Yi to some extent.

She also clearly understood He Yi's deep love for Zheng Yuanxi.

Logically speaking, even if Zheng Yuanxi couldn't have children, she could have used other women's eggs for in vitro fertilization. But He Yi directly had a relationship with this woman named Gu Zhiyao.

Shao Yuan felt that He Yi and Gu Zhiyao might have some special relationship, and who knows, he might like Gu Zhiyao?

"I heard they've hired a very capable overseas team this time. They've never failed in a custody battle. You should be mentally prepared." Before coming here, Shao Yuan had naturally learned some things about the situation so he could tell He Yi.

Sure enough, He Yi was taken aback again, and then said, "Send me all the information about those people. Also, I'm sorry to have troubled you."

“It’s no trouble. I was going to send you this notice anyway, but I’m just bringing it over in person.” Shao Yuan thought for a moment, but still couldn’t help asking, “What’s your relationship with this woman named Gu Zhiyao? In the lawsuit, she says that you forced her to have sex with you, and that you kept coaxing her to give birth to the child and let her raise it. Did you really say that to her? Did you two know each other a long time ago? Do you… like this woman?”

He Yi was taken aback by Shao Yuan's insightful guess, then smiled and said, "Why do you think that?"

"Sigh, it's all because of your aloof personality. You know, apart from Zheng Yuanxi, you don't even glance at other women, let alone have any intimate contact with them. But you're willing to have a relationship with Gu Zhiyao. I would never believe you didn't have any feelings for her."

"This isn't within your scope of responsibility. You're a grown man, stop gossiping. Women don't like gossipy men, and I think Lin Xiaoying is no exception."

"Uh, you idiot, if you don't want to talk about it, then don't. Why bring up my wife? Now that something like this has happened, you still have the mood to joke with me. It seems you're not worried at all. Do you really think you're all-powerful? But as I said before, this time is different. This team has basically never lost a lawsuit in this area!"

"Then let them lose once!" He Yi said.

Shao Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then laughed. "Alright, since you put it that way, I don't need to worry anymore. I'll just wait and see what a great show it is."

"Well, consider it a thank you for going to so much trouble for me!"

"Alright, alright, it's really annoying to have someone as capable as you. I really want to see you get your comeuppance someday." Shao Yuan said goodbye. "I have something to do later. It's Lin Xiaoying's mother's birthday tonight, and the family has booked a restaurant to celebrate. I'll be going now."

"Wait!" He Yi called out to him, then went back to his desk and took out an exquisite gift box from the drawer. "Do you want to give this to your mother-in-law?"

Shao Yuan was stunned for a moment, then opened it and was even more shocked after reading it. "This... no, this is too valuable."

"It's alright, it was a gift from a business partner. My grandma doesn't really like these things, and my sister isn't old enough to be with them, so it would be a waste to leave them there."

Indeed, someone of He Yi's status has no shortage of valuable things, but Shao Yuan still asked, "Where is your mother-in-law? Your sister is too young to be suitable, but your mother-in-law's age should be suitable, right? Why didn't you give her one? Although the Zheng family doesn't lack these things, who would complain about having too many treasures? The most important thing is the sentiment. Your mother-in-law will be so happy to receive a gift personally from her son-in-law."

He Yi hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll give it to you, don't ask so many questions."

"Okay, but if I really accept it, wouldn't that be a bit... something?" Shao Yuan stopped there.

"Is that what you think? There's nothing I can do about it."

"Uh, of course I wouldn't think that way. Thanks, and I wish you all the best! If you'd like, I'd still like to hear your story with Gu Zhiyao. I heard she used to be an orphan, but now she's the executive vice mayor of D City in Canada, and she's very popular and supported by the citizens. That's impressive."

He Yi didn't reply, only glancing at him indifferently, clearly still not wanting to talk to him.

Shao Yuan chuckled and then left.

He Yi returned to his desk and sat down, picking up the indictment again, his handsome face gradually darkening.

That evening, we agreed to go back to the old house together.

The old lady still insisted that Chenchen live in the old house. Zheng Yuanxi was unwilling and had mentioned it to He Yi before, but the old lady's condition was not good recently, so He Yi did not agree. However, he comforted Zheng Yuanxi and said that he would see after a while. Zheng Yuanxi knew that she could not confront him directly. Although she was angry, she still said okay in a considerate and gentle manner. She could only hope that the old lady would get better soon!

Therefore, Zheng Yuanxi no longer respected the old lady as much as before, and the old lady treated her the same way; they maintained a superficial harmony.

"Dad, Niu Niu called me today and said she's back in China. She even asked me when we can meet." Chenchen suddenly told his father something.

He Yi was taken aback, and Zheng Yuanxi's expression changed drastically. "Chenchen, what did you say? Which girl?"

“That’s Aunt Gu’s daughter, Niu Niu, Mom, don’t you remember? Niu Niu even said you were pretty, and you said she was cute too,” Chenchen continued innocently.

Zheng Yuanxi was completely shocked, and she subconsciously looked at He Yi!
