Chapter 14: Who Is His Mother?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
He Yi had been away from Yun City for five years to serve her sentence in an isolated prison. She had no idea of the big changes in the high society within the years, including the shocking news of Yi Liangze becoming a single father.
That broke the hearts of many ladies in Yun City and they were dejected. However, there were still those who did not give up despite knowing well. Chu Tianyi’s sister, Chu Chu was one of them.
The birthday celebration for Chu Tianyi’s son Ke Ke at Guibin Hotel that day was actually an elaborate plan for a blind date for Chu Chu. They finally succeeded in inviting Yi Liangze and yet he did not even step into the booth and left with He Yi.
He Yi figured that Chu Chu and the others must despise her even more now.
As for the origin of Yi Liangze’s son and who was his mother, no one could provide an answer. They only knew that Yi Liangze took Bao Bao back to the Yi family without a mother and he became a part of his life ever since.
Perhaps because of Bao Bao’s existence, Yi Liangze did not marry anyone despite him being over 30. He became the most popular bachelor with a child in Yun City. Some women who were interested in him gave up because of the child but more of them were still going after him.
He Yi placed her cutlery down after the meal with a polite smile. “I’m done. You enjoy.”
“What’s with the rush? There is wine left.” Noticing that she was preparing to leave, Yi Liangze also put down his silver fork.
“Maybe next time.” He Yi checked her phone and said, “I have something important this afternoon.” Noticing that Yi Liangze did not reply, He Yi paused and chuckled. “Now that I’m owing you more, I need another chance to return your favors.”
Yi Liangze only stared at her and smiled lightly.
He Yi rose and paused for some thought before blurting out, “Your son Bao Bao is...really adorable.”
She almost could not stop herself from asking if Bao Bao’s mother was Yu Shujun. However, she retracted herself because it concerned Yi Liangze’s privacy and it was not appropriate for her to get to the bottom of it.
“Thanks.” Yi Liangze’s smile widened. There was a loving warmth on his face when his adorable son was mentioned.
It is natural for parents to love their child deeply, and Yi Liangze was no exception.
He Yi could tell that Bao Bao was Yi Liangze’s biological son from just one look!
‘But why does Bao Bao look so similar to Wan Wan?’ He Yi could only conclude that it was merely a coincidence!

Yi Liangze decided to continue drinking alone after He Yi left. The ten years old wine was rich and sweet, it was indeed spectacular. He could tell that He Yi was knowledgeable in winery or else she would not have picked the best wine in the restaurant.
Yu Shujun did not knock before entering the booth. Such formalities were not required between her and Yi Liangze.
She took the seat right opposite Yi Liangze where He Yi sat previously.
Yi Liangze was smoking a cigarette. His eyes were giving out coldness like the sky and loneliness like a winter star along with the puffs of cigarette smoke.
“Her eyes are similar to Bao Bao’s!” Yu Shujun had an elegant and reserved character but her way of talking was always direct and straightforward. This was due to her past job in the Special Forces where effective communication was important.
With a glass in one hand, Yi Liangze’s sluggish expression made him look tipsy but Yu Shujun knew that amount of wine would never do much to him.
He took a slow sip to enjoy the richness of the wine. It took a moment before a slight, warm smile appeared on his face. “I thought that, too.”
She could tell from his expression that he did not hate the outcome.
Yu Shujun pursed her lips and continued, “She’s single!”
Yi Liangze bursted into a chuckle. He tossed some cigarette ash away before finally switching his attention from the glass to Yu Shujun. “Yu, are you trying to be a matchmaker again?”
She reminded him gently, “You are aware that Bao Bao always wanted a mother!”
Yi Liangze was deep in thought. “I hope to look for Bao Bao’s biological mother! I’ve waited for so many years, I don’t want to settle down just like that.”
“You’re still...thinking about that woman!” Yu Shujun could not help but frown slightly. “It’s been years but she never showed up. Maybe…”
He lowered his head and drank in silence.
He preferred to be alone at times like this.
It was a crazy night when they entangled with each other passionately and fierily in the dark room. He would never forget the woman who made him combust with his deepest desires and pleasure on that night.
However, Yu Shujun did not leave him alone this time around. Staring at her neatly trimmed nails, she continued unhurriedly, “There is news from overseas. Someone found Wang Han’s trace.”
Yi Liangze looked up abruptly and bright rays shot out of his deep, dark eyes. Yet, his tone remained indifferent, “She’s alive?”
“Yes, she is.” Yu Shujun stared at him and knew that only such news could affect his ever-so-calm emotions. “However, she seemed to changed her face! We’re lucky that we kept her blood DNA sample. She left her trace during a checkup in a hospital overseas.”
“What is her identity now?” Yi Liangze squinted.
Yu Shujun took a deep breath and replied, “Her name is Molly, she is a harbinger transferred overseas for a new project by DN International Group. She is also the wife of DN’s lead harbinger!”
Yi Zeliang sneered, his tone filled with ridicule. “She married the lead harbinger of DN Group? This woman is really something! Still, I have to get things clear!”
He had to find Wang Han and ask about Bao Bao’s origin because she was the only person with all the answers.
The two of them continued talking when a waiter rushed over with panic. “Miss Yu, Young Master Yu, Bao Bao is missing!”

He Yi went to an automobile sales service shop and bought a Porsche. She requested a car on display and made a deal with a discount of a million bucks because she needed a car urgently.
She took the car and issued a bank card with a hundred thousand bucks for Wei Jiameng. She returned to the Wei family house after everything was settled.
Wei Jiameng was still grieving over the divorce, her father’s passing and her divorce were earth-shattering for her although He Yi swore that she would support her and she was convinced by her dignified and confident eyes.
She thought that everything was absurd when she woke up the next morning. f(r)eeweb(n)ovel
He Yi was an ex-convict who was just released from prison. She was ignorant and broke, even her clothes were Wei Jiameng’s. Wei Jiameng figured that He Yi could not even afford a meal for herself, not to mention support Wei Jiameng and Ge Ge.
She started bawling with Ge Ge in her embrace when He Yi left, she did not even bother to prepare lunch.
Ge Ge did not even have the energy to tell that she was hungry in the afternoon when the sound of car brakes were heard from their yard. She freed herself from her mother’s arms and ran outside. She skipped back to Wei Jiameng soon enough with happiness lighting up her face as she shouted with joy, “Mom, Aunt He is back! She took a beautiful car back!”
