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

Chapter 206 Only by severing all ties of love and affection can one be reborn from the ashes.

When they first met, their expressions were not very friendly or calm.

After a while, Xiao Lin spoke first, "I came here today to plead with you. You know about Lin Yu's situation, right? I hope you can let her go. When Zhi Yao was in danger, she probably already knew that her time was up. She told me that if Lin Yu wanted to avenge her, she might face great danger. She asked me to help Lin Yu, or to plead with you, saying that just for the sake of her giving birth to your child, please let Lin Yu live."

He Yi's expression had also changed drastically. He stared at Xiao Lin with sharp and shrewd eyes and asked urgently, "Are you serious? Did she really tell you that? Besides that, what else did she say?"

Xiao Lin pondered for a moment and said, "Regarding this matter, oh, and also, she hopes her child will be treated well. If you have your own children in the future, please don't mistreat her child. If you really feel that he is superfluous, then contact me, and I will raise the child."

He Yijun's face darkened again, and he glared coldly at him.

Xiao Lin said, "Don't be upset. I believe you will love the child, after all, it's your child. But what about Zheng Yuanxi? No woman is truly selfless. Right now, she needs the child, so she will be good to the child. But once she has her own biological child, she might see this child as a thorn in her side. After all, this child will compete with her child for the family property. This child was born to Zhiyao, so it's impossible for her not to resent Zhiyao. When Zhiyao is gone, this resentment will be transferred to the child. You should understand that!"

He Yi's expression remained extremely unpleasant, while Xiao Lin smiled nonchalantly, "Alright, let's get back to the main topic. The matter with Lin Yu is settled. I heard you took the child to see Zhi Yao today? Then you should be able to fulfill Zhi Yao's last wish?"

"And what do you think Lin Yu will give up? That's always been her personality. She brought this on herself," He Yi said.

"I'll handle Lin Yu's situation. Just focus on your own things, He Yi. Thanks, and of course, this is something you owe Zhi Yao. I won't bother you any longer. Goodbye." Xiao Lin, reassured that he would do as he was told, left with peace of mind.

He Yi stared at the doorway where he had disappeared, feeling somewhat confused and a strange sense of oppression.

Xiao Lin rushed to find Lin Yu and said only words of comfort to her, fabricating Gu Zhiyao's last words before her death. Lin Yu believed it and became even more heartbroken.

“I understand how you feel. It’s an honor for Zhiyao to have a friend like you, but you can’t go on like this now.” “Brother Xiaolin, is Zhiyao really dead?” Suddenly, Lin Yu asked unexpectedly.

Xiao Lin was shocked, thinking that Lin Yu might have discovered something. Then she heard Lin Yu murmur, "I really can't believe she's gone like this. We made so many plans, like traveling together in the future, visiting places in China and then abroad. She even said we'd climb Huangshan Mountain when we're both 70. But she didn't keep her word! She's a liar!"

Lin Yu was in tears.

Xiao Lin felt a pang of heartache and instinctively hugged her. Then he said, "Lin Yu, this is life. If possible, Zhi Yao wouldn't want to break her promise. This is her fate. Since she made these promises to you, why don't you fulfill them for her? Every time you go somewhere, imagine she's with you. When you come back, go to her grave and share what you've seen and heard with her. If she knew from beyond the grave, she would want you to live well like this. Lin Yu, you and Zhi Yao are good friends. You'll live the life she didn't have time to live, okay?"

As for those useless things, stop doing them. Zhiyao doesn't want you to suffer so much because of her. What she wants most is for you to live well for her, to do the things she can't do, and to help look after her child. Who knows, she might need your help someday? In this society, money isn't everything, but with money, you can do many things. If you really want to do something for Zhiyao, then work hard, become strong and wealthy, and have the opportunity to help Zhiyao's child in the future. That's what's truly worthwhile, Lin Yu.

Lin Yu continued to weep uncontrollably.

Yes, in this society, power and influence are everything, and she understands that all too well!

"But now I have no way out. Brother Xiao Lin, thank you for your kindness, but I don't regret it."

“I had no other choice. Before coming to you, I contacted He Yi,” Xiao Lin said.

"Have you looked for He Yi?"

“Yes, Zhiyao knew you would help her take revenge. Before she passed away, she rushed to tell me all this. He Yi promised to help and persuade the Zheng family to stay. Ayu, let’s leave it at that. We are all Zhiyao’s best friends. We must live well so as not to let her down.”

"Okay, Brother Xiao Lin, I promise you!" After pondering for a while, Lin Yu finally made this painful decision, feeling as if a piece of her heart had been ripped out.

Xiao Lin gently patted her shoulder, and seeing her heartbroken state, he couldn't bear it and said, "Zhiyao will be watching over you from another place. If God has eyes in the future, maybe you'll meet again? So, Ayu, live well! Only by living can there be hope!"

“Brother Xiao Lin? You…” Lin Yu was puzzled, not quite understanding the meaning behind his words.

Xiao Lin chuckled softly, "Don't think too much about it. Just remember, live well, understand?"

“Okay, I will! I will make sure Zhiyao’s share lives too, and I will complete all the things we agreed on. I will also help her look after the baby and never let the baby suffer any mishap.”

"That's right!" Xiao Lin breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at the distant sky, and felt heavy and complicated.

A few days later, he returned to Canada and told Gu Zhiyao everything.

At this time, Gu Zhiyao had finished her postpartum confinement. Under the care of her nanny, Aunt Hua, her body recovered very well. Of course, Xiao Lin knew that this was also due to her own efforts. Next, she would definitely work harder to transform herself!

Therefore, he did not tell her that he had used the lie of his dying wish to trick He Yi into helping him, nor did he tell her that He Yi had taken the child to her "grave" to pay respects on the day the child turned one month old.

Hatred may cause great suffering and exhaustion, but it can also be a spur and an incentive. Only by severing all ties of love and affection can one be reborn from the ashes!

Having learned that Lin Yu's matter had been resolved, Gu Zhiyao was finally relieved. Since her baby had just turned one month old, she decided to take the baby out for a walk and start getting familiar with the city.

At this time, Tan Yifei also began the second important stage of his life - studying abroad.

He Yi still accompanied him, but Zheng Yuanxi was unable to come because her mother suddenly fell seriously ill.
