Chapter 4: I See
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Yi family was a well-known family with prominent and extraordinary influence in Yun City. Not one individual in the high society would not know who the Yi family was.
He Yi was delighted when she heard the driver addressing the man as Young Master Yi. He had to be Yi Liangze!
Yi Liangze was the second son in the Yi family in Yun City. He was a hotshot in the corporate sector despite originating from a family with a military background. The Yi family had been developing from the military into business in the recent 30 years and their focus had been on Kan Kun International Group which prioritized real estate with other businesses all around the world.
Although the switch of focus of the Yi family to the corporate sector signified their withdrawal from the military, their influence was still strong in that area. Old Master Yi was a General of the army with brilliant achievements throughout his life. He was loved and looked up to by others. Although he retired, he was still a well-respected authoritative figure in the army.
He Yi who came from another well-known family in Yun City knew a lot of rich families so the Yi family was not unfamiliar to her.
There were two young masters in the Yi family. The elder, Yi Jiahao was the youngest major in the army but his whereabouts were unknown since he went missing during a mission. On the other hand, the second young master, Yi Liangze did not join the military. He returned to his family business after graduating from a renowned university overseas and became the youngest CEO of an international group.
He Yi had met Yi Liangze a few times before and he was a handsome and elegant noble-like figure. He dominated the business sector and became the corporate dictator whilst He Yi was only a disgraced woman from a rich family who was just released from her sentencing and now penniless. They were like two parallel lines that should never meet and yet he chose to help her to her surprise. He Yi could not figure out his intention.
“You must be Young Master Yi!” He Yi looked at Yi Liangze once again. Her questions remained unanswered despite knowing his identity. “Do you know me?”
He had to know her!
He must know her identity and helped her because of that. If that was the case, what was the reason for him in helping her?
He Yi could not figure out what value she had left that could get exploited by others! She went into a daze for a while before she curved her lips with sinister. It had to be her body!
However, she believed that she could never intrigue Yi Liangze with her current state. He could have gotten countless beautiful ladies running to him with one look because of his status. There was no way that he was interested in her.
Noticing the clear confusion and caution in He Yi’s eyes, Yi Liangze did not explain. He opened the car door elegantly and gestured to her gently. “We’ll talk in the car.”

Yi Liangze did not hop into the car. He received a call and there seemed to be some kind of emergency at his company that required his presence. Therefore, he let his driver take He Yi back to the Yi family’s house whilst he took another car to the main company of Kai Kun International.
He let his lawyer deal with the accident and his driver, Chi drove He Yi away from the scene.

The heater was on and He Yi finally stopped trembling as the heater was on. However, her wet clothes clinging to her body made her uncomfortable. There were many questions in her mind but the person to provide the answers left.
“Are you taking me to the Yis’ house?” she asked Chi.
Chi was extremely nice, he chuckled before he answered, “Young Master Yi said that you will stay at the Yis’ house before the Third Young Master return from overseas.”
His short reply had way too much information. He Yi kept silent for a few seconds to process the complex answer.
She looked up and asked again after a moment, “Can you please tell me who’s the Third Young Master?”
She heard that there were two young masters in the Yi family, Yi Jiahao and Yi Liangze but she never knew that there was a third one.
“His name is Yi Ziqiao, he is currently studying overseas. He will graduate and return this summer,” answered Chi patiently.
“Ziqiao?” He Yi blinked her eyes with disbelief. ‘The Ziqiao I know?’
“Miss He, you know him, right?” Chi could see the shock in He Yi’s eyes from the rearview mirror.
She did know him, but she never thought that he was the third young master of the Yi family! Nobody would have believed that the Third Young Master Yi would end up in a welfare center.
He Yi finally acknowledged that Ziqiao was a member of the Yi family! She now understood why Yi Liangze treated her so well, everything was linked to Ziqiao directly. He must have asked Yi Liangze to take good care of her.
“Young Master Yi said that I can arrange another accommodation for you if you feel uncomfortable,” added Chi considerately.
He Yi kept her silence for a while. She looked up slightly to look at a delicate men’s umbrella beside her. It was given by Yi Liangze when she got into the car.
The umbrella used the finest ingredients and was crafted well. The pole was cast with a special metal to ensure its solidity and lightness. There was an alphabet “Y” carved on it, a short indication of Yi. The umbrella must be handcrafted privately for Yi Liangze.
He Yi was thinking as she was reminded of something. She had been wondering why Chu Tianyi was willing to let her complete her sentencing and get released. Based on how mean he treated her, it was more likely that he would let her rot and die in prison.
The reason she was released must be because of Yi Liangze’s involvement instead of Chu Tianyi’s mercy.
‘That had to be the reason!’ He Yi exhaled slowly with a wry smile. ‘I see!’
‘Chu Tianyi is indeed heartless!’ Her final bit of expectation of him was destroyed completely and she no longer bore any hope in him. freewebno(v)el

The car stopped in front of a private clinic.
He Yi turned to Chi as she was getting off the car, “Can you pass a message to Young Master Yi that he doesn’t have to do this? I have friends and I will stay with them for now. I might still look for him when I have trouble, though!”
Chi blinked with meaning and replied, “So, you’re saying that you will still ask for his help in the future!”
He Yi who was in a heavy mood burst into laughter. ‘This young lad is hilarious!’
He Yi took the umbrella and watched as the SUV left. She thought of the saying “a servant’s attitude follows his master”.
Chi was funny, friendly, and easy to get close with. Therefore, Yi Liangze must also be a warm and welcoming person for choosing Chi to be his driver!
Some questions could only be answered with the passing of time!
He Yi stood in the rain in silence for a while before turning to the clinic with the umbrella in her hand.
It had been five years and she wondered how her friend was. Although her two best friends did not visit her in prison in the past five years, she was being optimistic and she had hopes.
Wei Jiameng did ask someone to send her many food and clothes. Perhaps she did not visit because Chu Tianyi did something.
As for Wang Han, He Yi did not receive any news about her nor hear anything from her during her five years in prison.
She was eager to see Wang Han hence she asked Chi to drive to her clinic. After all, Wang Han knew everything about her! She was the one who helped He Yi in solving difficult issues and obstacles during her darker times and she saw her as the person she could trust the most in the world!
