That day, Zheng Yuanxi also went to Sacred Heart Orphanage with her family.

Grandma said that when everyone put out the fire, they saw Zheng Yuanxi with him.

However, Zheng Yuanxi was so frightened by the fire that she couldn't even remember what happened.

He finally saw her clearly; she was prettier than he had imagined, and also a bit older.

He thought she was under ten years old when they were in the dark room, but Yuanyuan was actually 13 years old at the time.

So if he was just teasing her on a whim, she would understand?

He was 15, she was 13, both at the age when love first blossoms, and many things seemed to fall into place naturally. Subconsciously, he kept his promise and treated her well. Later, he prepared to marry her, but then she suddenly fell ill... and then this series of unexpected events occurred.

"Oh, right, President, there's one more thing, about the Wen Group." Seeing that He Yi had been stunned for so long, Quan Xinyu also braced himself and called out to him.

He Yi paused his contemplation and reminiscence.

"Everything went according to plan. The Bureau of Commerce announced the bidding results today. Tengfei Group won the project. Wen Boyun fainted on the spot."

Wen Boyun is Wen Ya's father and the chairman of the Wen Group.

“Okay.” He Yi’s face was cold, without the slightest pity. He then instructed Quan Xinyu, “Transfer another sum of money to Gu Zhiyao’s card. If she goes abroad, ask someone there to look after her. If she doesn’t go abroad, find her a job here.”

Quan Xinyu was immediately taken aback, and said, "Okay, President."

After Quan Xinyu left, He Yi took out his phone, found Zheng Yuanxi's number, and dialed it.

Unfortunately, the phone rang a few times before being hung up.

At this moment, Zheng Yuanxi was with Wen Ya.

With such a huge incident involving Wen Ya's father, the Wen family was in complete chaos. When Wen Ya heard that He Yi might have secretly orchestrated this outcome, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

Her family might not understand why He Yi would retaliate against the Wen Group in this way, but Wen Ya, who had done so many bad things, quickly guessed that it was her fault.

She was shocked, furious, and almost coughed up blood!

She never expected He Yi to treat her like this!

Therefore, she was furious, absolutely furious.

He immediately ran to find Zheng Yuanxi!

When Zheng Yuanxi heard what she said, she was also very surprised, but told Wen Ya that it couldn't have been He Yi who did it.

"No, Yuanyuan, it must have been him. He's punishing me on behalf of Gu Zhiyao, and taking revenge on me for Gu Zhiyao's child! He doesn't want to hurt you, so he's taking it out on me!"

It seems we all underestimated his feelings for Gu Zhiyao, and how much he cares about that child! But if he has a problem, he should come at me! Why target my family? My father is old and his health has been poor lately. How can I face my father? How can I face my mother?

Wenya cried after she finished speaking.

They cried so pitifully, their cries filled with accusation and sorrow.

Zheng Yuanxi stared blankly at Wen Ya, feeling not only sad for Wen Ya, but also having her emotions disturbed again by some of Wen Ya's words!

Yes, even if He Yi was angry that they had forced Gu Zhiyao to lose her child without telling him, he shouldn't have lost his temper like this.

He hadn't contacted her in the past few days, nor had he come to see her. It was as if they had suddenly lost contact and become complete strangers.

Zheng Yuanxi also recalled that on the suburban road, He Yi arrived at the scene, picked up Gu Zhiyao and left as if no one else was around, leaving her to Quan Xinyu.

Could it be that he has really fallen in love with Gu Zhiyao?

Wen Ya appeared to be crying, but she was secretly keeping an eye on Zheng Yuanxi.

She wiped away her tears, grabbed Zheng Yuanxi's hand, and said with a sorrowful expression, "Yuanyuan, I've dragged you into this. I didn't know he actually fell in love with Gu Zhiyao. I overestimated your importance in his heart. Has he come to see you? Has he called you these past few days? No, right? I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

"Don't say that, Aya. Everything you did was for me. I don't blame you at all. If anyone is to blame, it's him, or myself for not being able to make him love me deeply. Maybe he never loved me at all."

"It was all just my delusion all along. I mistakenly thought he loved me so much that he would even give his life for me! Aya, I was wrong!" Zheng Yuanxi burst into tears, all the grievances, anger, confusion, and sadness she had been feeling these past few days erupting at once.

The two of them hugged each other.

Therefore, when Zheng Yuanxi saw that the caller ID showed He Yi, she resolutely hung up.

“Yuanyuan…” Wenya feigned surprise.

Zheng Yuanxi waved her hand. "I think we both need to calm down. Like I just said, maybe he and I aren't that in love. I should wake up and stop deceiving myself."

"But aren't you worried that Gu Zhiyao will take advantage of you? I heard that He Yi has been rushing to the hospital these past few days, sometimes even during his one-hour lunch break! Are you really willing to hand him over to Gu Zhiyao like this? You've been together for thirteen years, with so many wonderful memories. Even if you can't do 'that' with him now, you've still been together for thirteen years. No matter how lustful he is, he shouldn't..."

"Stop talking, Aya. I don't want to hear anything about him and Gu Zhiyao anymore. Please don't say anything about it anymore, okay? As for him and me, I'm tired. If we are destined to be apart, then so be it!"

Wen Ya then fell silent, her eyes gleaming with a cunning and triumphant light. Seeing Zheng Yuanxi's rare moment of disorientation, she felt a perverse pleasure in her heart!
