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

"Have you had breakfast? Why don't you take it now? I've read the instructions; the sooner you take this medicine, the better it is," Quan Xinyu continued, trying to appear nonchalant.

After pondering for a moment, Gu Zhiyao replied, "What if I don't eat it?"

Quan Xinyu was stunned, and his voice rose slightly. "Gu Zhiyao, you know what this means, so why are you still doing this? Haven't you remembered all the suffering you've endured before? No matter what happened last night, it won't change your relationship with President He. I told you before that it's impossible for you and President He, so why are you doing this?"

"Since you say it's impossible for him and me, then why did you create this opportunity for me last night? Assistant Quan, you arranged it that way on purpose, didn't you? You could have sent him up first yourself, it wouldn't have taken up much time, but you risked making him angry to create this opportunity for me, and now you say it's impossible for him and me," Gu Zhiyao said.

"Uh, yes, I did it on purpose. Didn't you need to see President He? I just wanted to give you a chance, Gu Zhiyao. I sympathize with you, I think you're pitiful, and I just wanted to help you. But I never thought things would turn out this way. No matter what President He's motives were when he had relations with you last night, he was drunk and probably didn't even know what happened. It was an accident. Your fate with him hasn't changed. The person he always wanted to marry was Zheng Yuanxi. That's a promise he made many years ago. I don't want you to continue being so stubborn. In the end, you'll be the one who suffers. Do you understand?"

Gu Zhiyao remained silent.

She understands, of course she does!

She saw and heard He Yi call out Zheng Yuanxi's name to her and say those words to her. They were etched in her memory and continued to echo in her mind from last night until now!

“I know you really loved that child from last time, and wanted to have him, but fate made a mistake. It will definitely be a permanent pain in your heart. You've experienced it most deeply, so you don't want to go through that kind of grief again, right? So, take your medicine now, treat yesterday as a dream, and forget about it from now on! As for Wen Shiren, God will deal with him. You should focus on your work and life. I think Lin Houze treats you quite well; you can consider him.” Quan Xinyu shoved the medicine directly into Gu Zhiyao's hand.

Gu Zhiyao looked at the medicine in her hand, and after a while, she said out of the blue, "He mistook me for Zheng Yuanxi!"

Quan Xinyu paused for a moment.

"He kept calling out Zheng Yuanxi's name while kissing me and doing all sorts of intimate things to me, all while talking about Zheng Yuanxi. Assistant Quan, you're right. Actually, I knew what was going on from the beginning. I was just confused and stupid. Thank you, Assistant Quan. No matter what you thought of me before, I want to thank you for creating this opportunity for me yesterday! Thank you for pitying me, thank you for your compassion. I'll take the medicine. You can go back and give your report without worry." Gu Zhiyao clenched the medicine in her hand and then closed the door.

Quan Xinyu remained standing in place, having just finished processing what Gu Zhiyao had said. Looking at the tightly closed door, his eyes suddenly felt hot and uncomfortable.

The truth turned out to be a hundred times more cruel than he had imagined.

President He actually mistook Gu Zhiyao for Zheng Yuanxi and did that kind of thing to her, and Gu Zhiyao didn't refuse or resist at all!

Gu Zhiyao, how could you be so foolish? With your qualities, you could easily find a man who can truly bring you happiness!

Quan Xinyu found himself feeling fucking awful!

For the first time today, I felt regret for my actions and felt utterly despicable and hateful!

Therefore, after returning to the company, Quan Xinyu did not immediately report to He Yi. It wasn't until later, when he had work to discuss with He Yi, that He Yi suddenly asked him, "Did she take that medicine?"

"Yes, I ate," Quan Xinyu replied.

After hearing this, He Yi didn't say anything more and went back to revising the documents.

Quan Xinyu looked at him quietly, then suddenly said, "President, Gu Zhiyao said that you mistook her for Miss Zheng at the time!"

Ding! He Yi held the pen, the nib of which jabbed heavily into the paper. The last stroke of the character "走" (walk) in his newly signed "Yi" was drawn out to be extremely long.

Quan Xinyu gazed at him for a few seconds, his heart pounding, before bidding farewell and leaving.

The air grew quiet. He Yi looked up at the slowly closing door, and the scene from last night naturally flashed through his mind.

Although he was drunk and seemed to be out of his mind, he clearly remembered the scene from last night, and even remembered how he was intimately connected with her, and how he deeply felt the soul-stirring, bone-melting pleasure inside her that made him lose control.

Did he really treat her as Yuanyuan back then?

He Yi closed his eyes, trying to shake off those images, but they seemed to be imprinted in his mind and he couldn't get rid of them. He quickly left his desk and rushed into the bathroom.

He kept splashing cold water on his face, even filling the sink with water and burying his entire face in it. After a while, he lifted his head up and looked at his face covered in water droplets in the mirror. His deep black eyes seemed to reflect the passionate scenes from last night. His breathing became heavier, and he continued to bury his head in the water, repeating this cycle for a long, long time!

No, he must have mistaken her for Yuanyuan, otherwise why would he have done that kind of thing with her, why would he...

Next, Gu Zhiyao and Lin Houze continued to work hard on the case, and one day Lin Houze suddenly excitedly told Gu Zhiyao some good news.

He said he had obtained strong evidence to prove that Wen Shih-jen sexually assaulted Hsiao-yu!

Gu Zhiyao was overjoyed to hear this, but still somewhat incredulous, and hurriedly asked, "How did you find it? Is it reliable?"

Lin Houze replied, "Do you know that there is a very famous senior in our college named Zhuang Yi? He was a prominent figure at school, with top grades in exams and papers. After graduation, he became a renowned lawyer. Knowing that we wanted to reopen Wen Shiren's case, he provided me with a set of evidence, saying that it should be able to secure Wen Shiren's arrest!"

Zhuang Yi?

Back then, Gu Zhiyao didn't care about anything except studying, but she still inevitably heard her roommates or classmates discussing this name. There really was such a person, who was very impressive.

Unexpectedly, Lin Houze knew the other party!

“I never expected him to help us. After all, someone of his status and position is beyond our reach. After this case is over, I plan to treat him to dinner as a way of expressing my sincere gratitude. You should come along too, so we can all get to know each other. It will be beneficial for our future work,” Lin Houze continued excitedly.

Gu Zhiyao nodded and, without delay, began discussing the evidence.

This evidence is truly substantial enough to convict Wen Shih-jen!

The thought of finally bringing this big bad guy to justice made Gu Zhiyao so excited that she couldn't calm down for a long time. She wanted to tell Xiaoyu the good news immediately so that Xiaoyu would stop being discouraged and overthinking, but she was worried that something unexpected might happen and Wen Shiren might launch a counterattack, so she held back for the time being.

Anyway, the trial is not far off.

Xiaoyu will know when the verdict is officially announced!

Ah!

The storm will surely pass!

With the evidence in hand, Gu Zhiyao's mood improved considerably, and soon, the day of the trial finally arrived!

Full of confidence and joy, Gu Zhiyao stepped into the courtroom, only to see Wen Ya and Zheng Yuanxi sitting in the audience, and He Yi was there too!
