A Delightful Marriage with Twins-Chapter 8 - I’ll Support You!

There was a chill in the air.

Instead of arguing with Wei Jiameng, He Yi turned around to look at Ge Ge who was playing nearby. She asked the girl softly, “Do you want daddy to come home today?”

The girl who was playing happily became anxious in an instant before shaking her head. “No! Daddy is bad! He hits mommy!”

Her father’s image was equivalent to the “big bad wolf” in her young mind.

He Yi turned to Wei Jiameng again and stared at her in silence.

Ge Ge’s answer was simple but meaningful, it was everything they need to hear. If Wei Jiameng wanted to use her child as an excuse for not getting divorced from Jiang Peng, Ge Ge’s answer would be the most effective rebuttal.

Dejected, Wei Jiameng slumped to the floor and sobbed tearfully. “I always knew that he’s unreliable but… What are we supposed to do?”

As someone who was used to be dependent on others since young, she did not have the capability to survive without her father and husband.

He Yi answered without hesitation, “I’ll support you!”

He Yi went out the second morning in order to prove that she had the capability to support both Wei Jiameng and her daughter.

She hopped off a cab and walked for some distance before realizing that someone was following her. She stopped to take out her new phone and pretended to check her appearance with the camera function. There were indeed two suspicious men in black behind her.

She kept her phone and continued walking as if nothing happened. Then, she made a turn casually.

The men followed her and turned as she expected.

There was no doubt that they were following her!

He Yi’s heart skipped a beat as Chu Tianyi’s name appeared in her mind.

He was the first person to know that she was released from prison. She was certain that he would not let her off easily because of their previous feud including what happened two days ago with Su Anqi’s provocation.

What an evil and heartless man to try to get rid of her so soon!

He Yi was extremely bitter as cold distaste flashed past her eyes and yet, her lips curved into a smile. She was no longer the naive girl who showed all her emotions in the past!

It would not be easy to plot against her!

He Yi hesitated for a while before walking into an adult drugstore.

She learned a lot during her time in prison. She learned that there would be tasers and pepper sprays in adult drugstores aside from adult products.

They were illegal in the market but also the best weapon for self-defense, especially for women.

When He Yi walked out of the store, she had two new items in her bag none other than a taser and a pepper spray.

Noticing that the two men were still following her, she frowned and contemplated for a while before deciding to complete her errands first before figuring a way to get rid of those men.

Guibin Hotel was one of the earliest hotels that obtained stars in Yun City. Although it was only 16-stories tall, its business procured since it was located in a strategic location.

He Yi’s father, He Hanlin bought this hotel with her name on the day she turned 18 just because she mentioned that she liked how majestic the hotel was.

He Hanlin used to get anything she liked by all means just to satisfy his beloved daughter. Her daughter became his dearest since his wife passed away a long time ago. He even gave up on looking for someone new just because he did not want to upset her in any way.

With grief and memory over her father in her mind, He Yi walked into Guibin Hotel, the luxury hotel belonging to her.

“I am the owner of the hotel. I want to see your boss.” Two simple sentences that came out from He Yi’s mouth shocked everyone in the hotel.

The manager of the hotel dared not to slack. He let a server lead He Yi to the VIP room to serve her tea before scurrying to look for their boss.

He Yi took a seat in the room elegantly before taking the tea from the waiter and thanking him politely.

She had to act with confidence and authority as the owner of the hotel.

Her years in prison hardened her to the extent of she was hurt all over and she once fell into a terrible state, but it was all in the past. She swore not to repeat her mistakes when she stepped out of the prison compound to regain her freedom.

He Yi chewed on a citronella grass slowly, she knew that the hotel’s boss would be over very soon.

The hotel was not eyed by Chu Tianyi so He Yi guessed that he forgot about it. Therefore, she had to act swiftly.

Mister Chen, the head of the hotel arrived within a short period.

He was a jowled man with visible craftiness in his eyes. He looked exactly like a typical cunning businessman.

“You must be…Miss He Yi!” Mister Chen said her name immediately as her name was written as the hotel owner on the contract clearly when he was signing it.

He Yi put down the cup and rose before nodding to him with a light smile. “Hello, Mister Chen.”

“Hello.” He extended his hoove-like hand for a handshake with He Yi’s delicate hand. “I’ve heard about you. It’s an honor to finally meet!”

He Yi had to use some force to retract her hand before going back to her seat while maintaining a smile. “My father bought this hotel under my name around a decade ago. May I ask how long has it been since you signed a contract with the hotel?”

Mister Chen’s eyes swirled and he replied with a big smile. “We do have a contract!”

He did not sign the contract with He Yi because Chu Tianyi’s legal representation told him that she was imprisoned and she might never get released.

Mister Chen was uninterested in whether the owner of the hotel would get released, he only cared about the amount required to sign a contract with the hotel. He then signed a five-year contract which would be up in another six months.

“You did not sign the contract with me!” He Yi was direct straightforward and went for it directly. “This contract is illegal!”

“Uh…” Mister Chen started sweating and he rebutted hurriedly, “Young Master Chu’s legal representative signed it with me so when you say that it’s illegal… I’m afraid that Young Master Chu is directly involved with this!”

The meaning behind his words was clear. After all, Chu Tianyi had significant social status and it would not be easy to harm him.

He Yi maintained her expression and replied softly, “I’m going to sue him for agreeing to the tenancy without my approval, and he took the rent when the hotel is clearly mine but I know that you are also a victim of his lies. I am not going to blame you in any way.”

Never slap the smiler. Listening to He Yi putting all liability on Chu Tianyi, Mister Chen chuckled sheepishly while thinking that he would be totally absolved from any blame. “Miss He Yi, thank you for being understanding!” 𝗳𝒓𝙚e𝓌e𝚋𝙣𝚘𝐯𝙚𝙡.𝑐૦ｍ

Those words were exactly what He Yi was waiting for. She curved her lips into a smile and continued, “I heard that your contract is ending soon. Will you be interested in signing a contract with me or do you prefer to sign another one with Chu Tianyi’s legal representative?”
