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

He Yi looked at the unfamiliar old lady and habitually frowned.

The old professor began to speak, his tone agitated, "So you're that man! You actually made her miscarry! You don't want the child? How could you not want it? You took advantage of her, and now you won't let her give birth..."

"Uh, Professor Zhou, please calm down." Dr. Cheng had already guessed He Yi's identity and, to avoid causing trouble, quickly persuaded Professor Zhou to calm down.

But the old professor didn't care who you were, whether you were powerful or wealthy, and continued angrily to He Yixun, "How can I be calm? Do you know how much she cherishes this child? I can see that she loves you very much, even though you have sexually abused her time and time again. She comes to me almost every week, and every time it's the same question. I've told her countless times, but she still didn't listen, until she got pregnant."

She told me she was an orphan with no relatives in the world, and the baby was her only family. She promised me that this kind of problem would never happen again, and that she would protect the child with her life. I thought things would be alright from then on... but who knew it would end like this.

She was drugged. Who drugged her? Was it you? And you beat her? Sexual violence is one thing, but physical violence too! Are you even a man? Do you know how much she longed for this child? If she knew the child was gone, could she live a good life? She's incredibly unlucky to have fallen in love with you!

"Professor Zhou? You've misunderstood. It wasn't our CEO He who forced her to take the medicine, nor did he kick her. This accident was caused by someone else," Quan Xinyu explained.

"Who did this? Who is so evil? She should be brought to justice!" Professor Zhou's gaze returned to Gu Zhiyao. "What a pitiful child. If you had listened to my advice and left him earlier, things wouldn't have turned out like this. Dr. Cheng, which ward should we take her to now? Remember to give her proper treatment. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me."

"Okay, Professor Zhou, we have arranged room 620 for Miss Gu."

"Okay, I'll write it down. You guys should take her there quickly."

The ward was a high-class ward arranged by He Yi's doctor. The suite had everything. After settling Gu Zhiyao in, the medical staff left first.

Quan Xinyu said to He Yi, "President, you haven't eaten for several hours. Shall I go buy you some water and a bento box? Or I can stay here and you can go to a restaurant to eat. There's a big restaurant right across from the hospital."

“No need, I’m not hungry,” He Yi interrupted him.

Uh, how could I not be hungry?

Quan Xinyu was deeply worried, but he knew He Yi's personality well; once he decided to do something, no one could change his mind unless Miss Zheng intervened. But now that something like this had happened, even Miss Zheng might...

"Did you know before that Gu Zhiyao was an orphan?" He Yi suddenly asked.

Once Quan Xinyu calmed down, he immediately replied, "I haven't heard of that. The company doesn't require filling out family background information when you join. Maybe Anxi and the others know, but it's not related to the company, so they don't need to tell you."

He Yi continued, "She just told me how great it would have been if she hadn't met me thirteen years ago, but didn't she only join the company two years ago? How come she's known me for over ten years and I haven't been affected at all?"

These words were spoken by Gu Zhiyao to He Yi when he was holding her. At that time, Gu Zhiyao's condition was already very bad, so her voice was very low and only He Yi could hear it.

“Thirteen years ago, Gu Zhiyao was only 10 years old and still in elementary school. How could she know you? Did she run into you somewhere?” Quan Xinyu stated the facts.

He Yi tried hard to remember, but still couldn't recall anything.

"President, how about I check it out first? If that doesn't work, we'll just have to wait for Gu Zhiyao to wake up and ask her."

“Hmm.” He Yi paused slightly, then asked, “The Wen Group has been in talks about that urban renewal business plaza project recently, right? Who are their competitors?”

"It's Tengfei Group. I heard the results are almost finalized. Wenshi Group should win this project. They have already started preparations for construction and have invested a lot of financial resources. This is Wenshi Group's biggest project this year. They failed several previous projects and are hoping to regain their reputation in the industry through this project."

“Go find the chairman of Tengfei Group and tell him that no matter what, he shouldn’t give up, and that He’s Group will help him get this project,” He Yi said.

"President He?" Quan Xinyu was stunned. This project had little to do with the He Group and was outside of its territory. Acquiring it would not be of much help to the He Group.

"You will personally oversee this matter," He Yi continued, his gaze growing increasingly cold.

"Okay, I understand." Quan Xinyu quickly agreed. It seemed that President He was preparing to make a move against Wen Ya!

Thinking of that arrogant and domineering woman, Quan Xinyu felt that she really should be taught a lesson so that she wouldn't always be so self-righteous and meddle in other people's business!

"By the way, President, would you like to give Miss Zheng a call?" Quan Xinyu suggested.

He Yijun paused, then remained silent.

Quan Xinyu didn't dare to say anything more, "President, I'll go buy you something to eat first."

After Quan Xinyu left, He Yi remained deep in thought. He picked up his phone and found Zheng Yuanxi's number, but after looking at it for a moment, he didn't dial it. He then put his phone away and looked at Gu Zhiyao again, recalling the events of the day.

Her insistence on keeping the child had no other purpose than simply wanting to keep the child.

Is it because she herself is an orphan that she so desperately craves family affection and doesn't want to abandon her own child?

So when she asked for 10 billion, she was just joking with him and never thought she would give up the child.

He Yi couldn't help but recall how she had been so wary of him to protect the child, and how desperate and sorrowful she looked before she fell into a coma. He felt a tightness in his chest, as if a huge stone was pressing down on him, making it almost impossible to breathe.

He reached out, wanting to touch Gu Zhiyao's pale face, but stopped abruptly just before he could make contact.

Meanwhile, Zheng Yuanxi had just woken up from a nightmare.

Since returning home, she has been on the verge of a mental breakdown.

She had never done anything so bad in her life, and she couldn't even bear to hurt a small animal.

But today she killed someone!

Even though it was just a fetus!

The whole plan was proposed by Wenya, but she did not refuse; instead, she went along with Wenya to carry it out.

"Yuanyuan." The door was pushed open, and Zheng Yuanxi's mother walked in, carrying a cup of freshly brewed calming tea.

Zheng Yuanxi didn't eat. Instead, she grabbed her mother's hand and burst into tears. "Mom, I don't know why this is happening. I didn't want to keep that child, but now that everything is as I wish, I'm restless. Whenever I close my eyes, all I see is Gu Zhiyao covered in blood, her eyes filled with hatred, saying that she and her child will haunt me even as ghosts. She was the one who had ulterior motives and secretly got pregnant without telling Ayi, ruining my and Ayi's happiness. Why is it my fault now? Mom, what should I do? I'm in so much pain, so much pain!"
