hotel.
Yan Zhen lay lazily on the rocking chair on the balcony. The night breeze was gentle, and from this angle, the night view of Ningcheng was beautiful and bustling.
She took off her headphones and summarized what she had overheard—Li Tingyi had asked for money, Fang Yi had agreed, and they would go to the bank counter to transfer the money tomorrow.
If I give away this four million, won't the property I receive in the divorce settlement be reduced by half?
Moreover, Li Tingyi seemed to realize that she was behind it all, and if he were to use those four million to make a comeback, it would be disadvantageous for him.
Yan Zhen pondered for a while, then thought of Fang Yi and his mother.
She already disliked Li Tingyi, and Li Tingyi's recent scandal was known throughout the internet. If she were to find out that Fang Yihe planned to lend money to Li Tingyi under these circumstances, she would definitely step in to stop him.
Since it's inconvenient for me to show my face, I might as well leave this matter to Aunt Fang.
The next morning, Yan Zhen called Fang's mother while having breakfast at the hotel restaurant, reminding her that a relative was getting married in a few days.
This relative attended her wedding with Fang Yihe, so it's only right and proper for her to return the gift money.
Fang's mother asked, puzzled, "Aren't you and Yihe going to the wedding?"
Yan Zhen stammered, "Um, I've been quite busy lately, I don't have time to go."
Fang's mother keenly sensed that something was wrong with her, and upon hearing the loud background noise during her phone call, Fang's mother asked, "Where are you?"
"……hotel."
"Why are you going to a hotel so early in the morning?"
I live here.
Fang's mother's tone became serious: "Did you have a fight with Yihe?"
Yan Zhen did not answer.
Fang's mother asked a few more questions and began to criticize Fang Yi for making her angry.
Seeing that the atmosphere was just right, Yan Zhen began to sob softly, "Mom, you are so good, but I am not destined to be your daughter-in-law."
Fang's mother was startled.
Under her persistent questioning, Yan Zhen had no choice but to reveal that she had discovered Fang Yi's affair with Li Tingyi.
After hearing this, Fang's mother was so angry that her tone changed. She first scolded Fang Yihe indignantly, and then said cautiously, "Xiao Li, I will definitely teach Yihe a lesson. Calm down first, and we can talk about the divorce later."
Yan Zhen couldn't help but sneer inwardly.
Fang Yi's mother was always in the know about the marriage fraud.
Fang's mother was one of the people who strongly opposed the original owner's divorce in the previous life.
In the eyes of the Fang family, their daughter-in-law was not only a tool for bearing children and continuing the family line, but also a front door for Fang Yihe to cover up his sexual orientation.
How can I let the woman I finally managed to win over get away like this?
In this life, Fang Ma is still the same.
As a woman herself, Fang's mother was well aware of Gao Li's predicament, but as a beneficiary of the system, she chose to side with Fang Yi and help him deal with Gao Li.
Despicable and hateful.
“Yihe is a good person. As long as we can continue living together, I don’t want a divorce. But… but Li Tingyi is really too much.” Yan Zhen cried as she complained to Fang Ma, “Recently, he has caused such a big fuss. The company has been shut down. He borrowed 400 million yuan from Yihe and then came to me to show off, saying that so what if I am Yihe’s legal wife? My husband is his, and my husband’s money is his too.”
Fang's mother was stunned: "Yihe lent him 400 million?"
“Yes,” Yan Zhen said, sobbing, “He said he was going to the bank today to transfer money to him…”
Fang's mother exploded: "You wait, I'm going to find Fang Yihe right now. If he dares to lend money to Li Tingyi, I won't let him off! I will definitely give you an explanation for this."
After saying that, Fang's mother hung up the phone.
Yan Zhen locked his phone, snapped his fingers happily, and continued enjoying his breakfast.
Fang's mother angrily took a taxi straight to Fang Yihe's residence, but when she arrived at the entrance of the community, she saw Fang Yihe drive out of the community.
No matter how much Fang's mother called him from behind, he didn't hear her.
Fang's mother quickly flagged down a taxi on the roadside and followed.
On the other side, Li Tingyi's car was parked outside the bank's business hall early in the morning.
He sat in the driver's seat, staring intently at the entrance of the business hall.
He didn't sleep a wink last night, repeatedly going over the events of the past few days, from Gao Li's unexpected miscarriage, to Qi Zhaoyi's appearance, to his falling out with Fang Yihe, and He Xiaolian using online public opinion to force him to break off the engagement...
Each incident was like a series of traps, with an unseen force pushing things forward, gradually driving him into a dead end.
This person is Gao Li.
It must have been her.
He wanted to tell Fang Yihe the truth.
But Li Tingyi knew very well that without evidence, Fang Yihe would not easily believe him.
If he made too much of a scene, Fang Yi might go back on his word and refuse to give him the money.
So he planned to stay here and wait until Fang Yihe transferred the money, and only after he received the money and had no worries would he talk to him.
Even if the two parties break up again, I won't suffer any losses.
Li Tingyi waited for more than half an hour before Fang Yihe's car came into view.
He watched Fang Yihe park the car, get out, and walk towards the business hall, his heart pounding faster.
Four million. If he could get his hands on that money, most of his current crisis would be resolved.
However, before Fang Yihe could even enter the business hall, Fang's mother hurriedly caught up and called out to him.
She didn't know what she said to Fang Yihe, but the mother and son started arguing at the bank entrance. Fang's mother began to physically pull on Fang Yihe, trying to take him away.
Li Tingyi could tell at a glance that something had changed; Fang's mother might have discovered something and had come specifically to stop Fang Yi from lending him money.
Do not!
He absolutely must get those four million!
Thinking of this, Li Tingyi disregarded everything else and immediately got out of the car and ran towards the entrance of the business hall.
As he approached, he heard Fang's mother sternly warning Fang Yihe: "If you dare to lend money to Li Tingyi, don't call me 'Mom' anymore. I don't have a blind, ignorant, and ungrateful son like you!"
Fang Yi's voice was full of helplessness: "Mom..."
"Come back with me! Otherwise, we'll sever our mother-son relationship!"
As the two were struggling, Li Tingyi stepped forward and said, "Auntie."
Fang's mother turned her head and saw Li Tingyi. Her face twisted instantly, and she glared at him fiercely: "Don't call me aunt! Who's your aunt! How can you be so vicious? You're not only clinging to my son, but you're also determined to break up his family, aren't you?"
You did such a despicable thing as threatening a girl and ruined your company like that. How dare you ask my son for money!
I'm telling you this now: if you want money from my son, you'll have to step over my dead body first!
Li Tingyi's expression changed drastically, and he subconsciously looked at Fang Yihe.
Fang Yihe also looked helpless and gestured with his eyes for him to go first.
Li Tingyi's mind was in a mess, with only one thought remaining—he couldn't leave; he had to get the money today.
Otherwise, if Fang's mother gets involved, he can forget about getting any more money.
Thinking of this, he stepped forward and grabbed Fang's mother's arm, pulling her out of the business hall while giving Fang Yi a wink, signaling him to go in and transfer money first.
"Auntie, it's not what you think, let me explain..."
Fang Ma immediately saw through Li Tingyi's intentions and was shocked by his shamelessness. She immediately struggled, shouting, "Let go! Let me go!"
During the struggle, Fang's mother was both anxious and angry. She slipped and lost her balance, tumbling down the high steps in front of the business hall.
