Chapter 42: 42. Warning
“I just saw you celebrating with manager Yu on her birthday. I’m curious to know how you came over in the blink of an eye. Could it be that you can teleport?”
He Yi stared at Yi Liangze and couldn’t hide the surprise in her eyes.
Yi Liangze was stunned when he heard what He Yi said. “Just now?” However, he understood her question when he saw the photo on her phone’s WeChat. He explained, “Today is manager Yu’s birthday. Baby and I accompanied her for a meal.” He paused, then, he added, “She doesn’t have any other relatives in Yun City!”
He Yi quickly grasped the main point of his words. “Relatives? You and Baby are her relatives?”
“Ahem.” Yi Liangze covered his lips and coughed lightly. He was more or less embarrassed. In fact, women would look more adorable if they pretended to be stupid at the right time.
“Sister He, I fixed hot milk for you.” Ji Xueshan first gave Yi Liangze a cup of barley tea. Then, she walked up to He Yi and put down the milk. At the same time, she whispered to her, “Be gentle.”
How could a man like Yi Liangze not be surrounded by women? They all tried their best to keep him. At this time, it was not wise for He Yi to be so cold.
He Yi shrugged and did not comment.
After Ji Xueshan left, Yi Liangze put down the barley tea, he continued to explain patiently to her, “Sister Yu is my... big brother’s girlfriend. After big brother went missing, she still insisted on staying in Yun City and has been waiting for him for ten years...”
At this point, he couldn’t help but take out his cigarette. Just as he was about to light it, he saw a faint look of disgust in He Yi’s eyes. He remembered that she seemed to hate the smell of cigarettes, so he stopped lighting his cigarette. “Do You Mind?”
He Yi shook her head and sneered in her heart. If he cared whether she minded, there was no need to ask! “I don’t mind, go ahead.”
However, Yi Liangze saw the coldness in her eyes. He only slowly played with the cigarette between his fingers and did not light it. “In front of me, you don’t need to speak insincerely.”
“Well,” He Yi looked at him, but she still could not bear it. “Are you sure that the person she is waiting for is your big Brother?”
“...” This time, it was Yi Liangze’s turn to be silent. He stared at her and narrowed his eyes slightly.
He Yi realized that she was being a little petty, but the words that came out of her mouth were like spilled water. She couldn’t take them back. ‘Actually, what right did she have to ask him this? Whether Yu Shujun was waiting for his big brother, Yi Jiahao, or Yi Liangze, it had nothing to do with her!’
However, when she saw the warm and happy scene of him, Baby, and Yu Shujun together, her heart was pricked.
He Yi’s lips curved up slightly, and her tone was slightly self-deprecating. “I’m too serious. I believe whatever others say. You told me not to speak insincerely, but some words inevitably make people uncomfortable. Who Manager Yu is waiting for has nothing to do with me. It’s my fault for being meddlesome!”
The last sentence could barely be considered an apology to Yi Liangze.
However, her self-mockery did not make the man smile. On the contrary, his charming face was gradually covered with a layer of ice, as if it was hissing and emitting cold air.
He Yi’s words made him angry. At least, it was unknown which words, in particular, made him angry.
Yi Liangze got up gloomily, picked up the car keys, and walked away.
“Bang!” The door closed loudly, indicating the man’s suppressed anger.
He Yi sat still in her original spot, not moving at all. The sarcasm in her clear eyes only deepened.
Very soon, Ji Xueshan ran in in a panic and asked, “What’s wrong? What’s Wrong?”
“Nothing,” He Yi said plainly. “I was just confused about a woman. Young master’s temper flared up!”
Ji Xueshan could not help but shake her head and sigh. “You knew that a man like young master Yi would not lack women by his side. He naturally has a temper, yet you still deliberately provoked him!”
He Yi rubbed the space between her brows and sighed softly into the night. “I want to rest!”

After walking out of the Wei residence, Yi Liangze sat in the convertible sports car. Before he started the car, he could not help but look up at the window on the second floor. He happened to see that the lights on the window were off.
He could not help thinking about the photo he saw on He Yi’s Wechat. It was taken an hour ago, and Yu Shujun chose to send it to her so late. Was it a coincidence or was it intentional?
At this moment, He Yi’s cold voice resounded in his ears again. Are you sure she’s waiting for your big brother?
His thin lips pursed slightly, and his cold star-like eyes seemed to be deep in thought. For the first time in ten years, he faced this problem head-on.
*
It was already late when he got home. Yi Liangze didn’t expect that everyone was still awake. They were all fully armed and gathered in the large living room downstairs, waiting for him.
Seeing that the posture was a little scary, Yi Liangze knew that something was wrong. After greeting them, he wanted to retreat quickly upstairs.
“Stop!” Yi Jingye commanded sternly. “Come here, I have something to ask you!”
What do you want to ask? Yi Liangze slowly turned around. Seeing that his second uncle and his family of four were all here, he knew that nothing good was going to happen.
Fang Yaqin looked a little embarrassed. She tugged at the corner of her husband’s shirt a few times to signal him to calm down, but the furious Yi Jingye completely ignored her silent suggestion.
“Today, in front of your second uncle and second aunt, I asked you if you’ve been having a hot affair with a woman named He Yi recently or even allowed your baby to be with her!” Yi Jingye wanted to slap his son. It was one thing for this rascal to cause trouble to himself, but he had implicated his precious grandson!
“Jingye,” Fang Yaqin couldn’t hold it in anymore. Her husband’s bad temper hadn’t improved with the years. “Calm down first. It’s not Liangze’s fault. It’s the baby who likes He Yi and keeps asking for her. That’s why the old lady asked Shujun to take him to play with He Yi...”
“You’re also fooling around!” Yi Jingye criticized his wife sternly. “The old lady is getting old and her mind isn’t clear. Could it be that you’ve become muddle-headed too? I’ve already said that Liangze and Yu Shujun should keep their distance...” Realizing that her second brother’s family was by her side, she had no choice but to swallow her words.
Su Yuzhi saw that the atmosphere was tense, she hurriedly smiled and tried to persuade him. “I shouldn’t have said too much, but I always feel that a family should share both honor and disgrace. Don’t make a joke out of it!” Liangzhe’s wife was also the baby’s mother. He had to be more careful. He couldn’t retain those promiscuous women outside
Seeing Yi Jingye nod his head, Su Anqi felt that this was her chance, she quickly added, “Uncle, not only did He Yi divorce and take away her child, but she also killed her father and went to prison. A woman like her is not worthy to enter our Yi family!”
Yi Liangze finally caught the person who started the trouble tonight. He looked at Su Anqi and narrowed his eyes, “Oh, she is not worthy. Then why are you standing here?telling us what to do?”
When he said this, everyone fell silent because Su Anqi was the burden Su Yuzhi brought into the Yi family. So Su Yuzhi was careful when she spoke and tried not to expose her shortcomings. But Su Anqi didn’t have the self-restraint and shrewdness of her mother. When she was enraged, she would say whatever she wanted to vent her anger.
In this way, she once again exposed Su Yuzhi’s awkward identity and allowed Su Anqi to ruthlessly slap her own face.
Su Anqi choked on her words. She had said too much, too soon. She was only focused on mocking He Yi and had forgotten that she was also an unwanted burden. Immediately, her face turned red, and she became tongue-tied.
Just as the mother and daughter of the Su family were standing there awkwardly, Yi Liangze curled his lips coldly. He couldn’t be bothered with them and was about to go upstairs.
“Stop right there!” Yi Jingye shouted at his son once again, he gave a death order. “I don’t care if you want to continue pestering her. You are not allowed to let the baby see her again! Let me be clear, she can forget about stepping into our Yi family’s door for the rest of her life!”
