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

He Yi hesitated for a moment, then admitted, "Yes, I wanted to teach her a lesson. If it weren't for her, things wouldn't have turned out this way!"

"Ah Yi, thank you for protecting me like this. Although she was the one who came up with this idea, she did it for my own good. If I hadn't had those bad intentions, she wouldn't have been able to instigate me. In the end, I was also at fault. I hope you can consider my situation and let their family off the hook, okay?"

"Then promise me you won't have anything to do with her anymore?"

"Stop having contact with her?" Zheng Yuanxi was taken aback and didn't accept it. "Let me think about it first? Everything she did was related to me. If I cut ties with her like this, wouldn't it seem very heartless? I can't accept it, Ayi."

After so many years of getting along well, He Yi knew that Zheng Yuanxi was a kind and tolerant person, which was one of the reasons why he had always loved her. If he forced her to break off her relationship with Wen Ya, even if she agreed to it to accommodate him, she would still be sad in her heart.

Unless he directly tells her that Wenya has special feelings for him, that Wenya isn't really helping her, and that Wenya is even jealous of her and wants to break them up.

However, once these truths are revealed, it will inevitably be another heavy blow to Yuanyuan, and may even bring some unexpected harm to her body.

Therefore, He Yi dared not gamble anymore!

He decided not to tell her any of this for now. He'd have people watching Wenya to prevent her from causing any more trouble. As for Wenya's ulterior motives, he'd let Yuanyuan discover them gradually. Or perhaps, he hoped Wenya would realize the situation herself and stop harboring illusions about him!

“Since you still want to associate with her, then go ahead and associate with her. I just don’t want anything like this to happen again,” He Yi said.

"Don't worry, I've learned a lot from this experience, and I won't act so impulsively in the future." Zheng Yuanxi took his arm, gazed at him thoughtfully for a moment, and then asked, "Gu Zhiyao, how is she? What about the baby?"

He Yijun paused slightly, then replied, "She miscarried, but she's gradually recovering and has been discharged from the hospital."

Zheng Yuanxi naturally recalled what Wen Ya had told her: He Yi had been running to Gu Zhiyao's ward every day for those few days. She couldn't help but feel a little heavy-hearted and depressed. But then she thought, since everyone had cleared up the misunderstanding and made up, why should she still remember these things?

Yes, it's all in the past!

Regardless of what he once thought of Gu Zhiyao, since he said he would continue to walk with her, she should believe him, and she can only believe him, because she simply can't let him go and can't live without him!

Ah Yi, I hope we will no longer have any hardships or setbacks in the future, and I hope our relationship will return to what it was before, where you only have eyes for me and I only have eyes for you!

Zheng Yuanxi completely shook off her inappropriate thoughts, threw herself into He Yi's arms, and hugged him tightly.

Gu Zhiyao had been discharged from the hospital for a week. It happened to be a traditional festival, so she and Lin Yu went to the temple to copy scriptures and pray for their child. They stayed until evening before leaving.

Seeing that Gu Zhiyao's mental state had deteriorated due to constant crying, Lin Yu comforted her, "Yao, let's put this matter behind us, okay? If the baby's spirit in heaven knew, he wouldn't want to see his mother so sad. You have to pull yourself together and live on for the baby's sake too."

Gu Zhiyao looked back at Lin Yu with tears in her eyes. Remembering how Lin Yu had been worried about her all this time, she knew that she really should move on. So she nodded and said, "Ayu, I will live well, and I will make Wen Ya get her comeuppance!"

"What are you planning to do? Although Quan Xinyu is a bastard who deserves a beating, if you think about it calmly, what he said isn't entirely unreasonable. We can't touch Wen Ya at all!"

"As long as you work hard and persevere, you can always find a breakthrough. I remember a classmate of mine took on a case related to Wen Ya's brother. The case involved Wen Shih-jen sexually assaulting a girl, but because the Wen family was very powerful, my classmate didn't dare to offend him and had to persuade the victim's family to settle the matter."

"Now that you've reconciled, why did you suddenly bring this up?"

“I heard that the victim’s family has never been able to let go of this matter, and the girl who was assaulted by Wen Shih-jen has never been doing well. I want to visit them. If they still hope that Wen Shih-jen will be punished as he deserves, I will help them overturn the case!” Gu Zhiyao said resolutely.

"Help them overturn their convictions? Is that possible?" Lin Yu still had some doubts.

“My classmate doesn’t dare to offend the Wen family for the sake of his job and future, but I, Ayu, am all alone, with no ties, an orphan who doesn’t even know who my parents are. At worst, I’ll risk my life, and I always believe that justice will prevail!”

"Wasn't that accident that happened to the Wen family a while ago just retribution? Okay, I support you. If you need any help, just let me know. Although I'm not your biological sister, we're better than blood sisters. Yao, you're not all alone. You still have me, you know that!"

"Okay!" Gu Zhiyao nodded gratefully to Lin Yu again.

Without delay, Gu Zhiyao invited her classmate out.

Her classmate was quite surprised when she heard her purpose. "You want to help them overturn their case? You know perfectly well that the Wen family..."

"Xuedong, I understand your difficulties. To be honest, I've had some conflicts with the Wen family. Wen Shiren's sister, Wen Ya, hurt someone very close to me. I want to do something for my family!"

Seeing Gu Zhiyao's resolute and decisive demeanor, and the intense hatred in her eyes, her classmate knew that her mind was made up. So she said, "It's undeniable that I was willing to compromise my principles for a living when I tried to persuade them to reconcile. But this matter has always been on my mind. Every time I think about it, I can't help but ask myself, what was my original intention in studying law? Was it just to make a living, or should we use our knowledge and abilities to uphold justice for this world? In fact, that family has contacted me twice recently, hoping that I can help them overturn the case."

"They contacted you? They want to overturn the case?" Gu Zhiyao became excited. It seems even fate has already decided!

The classmate nodded. "That victim girl can't get over this at all. Especially every time she sees Wen Shih-jen's triumphant reports on the internet, she hurts herself. The doctor said that if this continues, she might go insane or die from suicide. The girl's family hopes I can help them bring Wen Shih-jen to justice, but you know, even that didn't work back then. The whole case has been settled and closed now. Besides, the Wen family has so much power, so I can't agree to their request."

"What's their home address? Can you give me that? I'd like to go find them, or would it be convenient for you to come with me?"

After thinking for a moment, the classmate said solemnly, "Zhiyao, are you sure you want to do this? I must remind you, this is not an easy path. For ordinary families like ours, our parents have raised us with all their heart in the hope that we can change our fate and live a better life. If the Wen family takes notice of us, our future may really be ruined. You need to think it through."
