Chapter 279 Out of Control, Madness
"Him?" Gu Zhiyao was also taken aback at first, but she didn't think so. "He has been protecting Zheng Yuanxi in every way. This matter was caused by Zheng Yuanxi and the Zheng family. His helping me clear my name is tantamount to openly slapping them in the face. Besides, no matter how powerful he is in the country, his reach can't extend that far, right?"
Gu Zhiyao had no idea that He Yi had settled the matter!
He Yi met two people while studying abroad and starting his business. One was from Europe and the other was from Canada. Now they are all leaders in the business world and have maintained a good relationship. They even have some collaborative projects.
The Canadian guy named Bain has a lot of influence and connections in Canada, and he happens to have a way to get one of them to obey him and carry out this series of reversal plans.
"Yi, I didn't expect you to know her. I have to say, she's a truly remarkable woman. In just a few years, she's become the vice mayor of a strong city. Did you know that her official approval rating has soared to 80%? I happen to have a project that's going to work with the D city government, and I was thinking of taking the opportunity to get to know her. Can I mention you? That way, she'll probably be more accepting of me."
The matter was resolved smoothly, and He Yi then made a video call to Bain to formally express his gratitude.
Bain and He Yi are about the same age and are of mixed Chinese and Canadian descent, but only 1/4 of them are of Chinese descent, so their overall features are still very deep and more Western.
With such a face and immense wealth, he has always been the object of admiration for many socialites in Canada's high society. However, he is unruly by nature and has had many female companions, but he has never married. Rumor has it that he has a child out of wedlock, but He Yi did not ask him about such private matters, nor did he find his private life particularly inappropriate.
Hearing him mention Gu Zhiyao now, his eyes lit up as if he had found prey, and He Yi's brows furrowed noticeably. "Yes, we told her not to know about this."
"Oh, I remember, what a pity! You haven't told me what your relationship with her is, so I can't have any feelings for her? Was she your ex-lover? Why didn't you marry her, but instead married your current wife? It's not that your current wife is bad, Zheng is also a very charming woman, it's just that I feel..."
Since you chose Zheng, why are you so concerned about Gu? You know you never ask for favors, yet this time you've gone to great lengths to do so, using so many resources and money. Clearly, she holds a very important place in your heart.
“She is the mother of my son,” He Yi said unexpectedly.
“Your son’s mother… what, then your wife…” Bain seemed to have heard some earth-shattering news.
"In short, she must not know about this, and as for you, don't even think about making a move on her," He Yi continued calmly.
After all, we've been friends for many years, and our relationship was at its deepest during the early stages of our business. We understand each other very well and know when it's okay to joke around and when it's time to be serious.
Even though Bain was curious, he understood what He Yi meant!
It turned out to be the mother of his child!
No matter what, he shouldn't have gotten involved. There's a saying: "One should not covet a friend's wife."
"Don't worry, I'll put that thought off right now, but I can't guarantee she won't develop feelings for me," Bain said after a while, calming down.
He Yi glanced at him dismissively, as if to tell him not to be arrogant, that such a thing was impossible.
Bain continued joking for a while, and then everyone ended the call.
He Yi stared at his phone screen, lost in thought.
Zheng Yuanxi eventually found out about his helping Gu Zhiyao, and she was so angry that she almost fainted!
Wen Ya provoked her again at a crucial moment, so she didn't care about anything else and went straight to He Yi to question him.
He Yi frowned slightly and said, "Yuanyuan, what will it take for you to let her go? Actually, it's unnecessary. If you continue to be so stubborn, you might be the first one to fall into an abyss of no return!"
Zheng Yuanxi stared blankly at his cold expression, then growled, "Is it unnecessary? But look at what she's done! She's plotting to come back and take Chenchen away, and now she's even targeting Grandma. Ayi, it's not that I'm holding a grudge, it's that she won't let me go. I want to protect everything I have now, and I have to fight back, otherwise I'll lose everything. Do you understand?"
He Yi remained silent, his brows still furrowed.
Zheng Yuanxi continued her accusations, "Everything I painstakingly planned was undone by you like this. I thought that maybe anyone in this world would betray me, but you wouldn't. But this time, and some things before, your actions don't match your promises to me at all. Ayi, have we reached the end? Your heart has already turned towards Gu Zhiyao, or perhaps you've always loved her?"
"Alright, Yuanyuan! I told you before, now that I've married you, I'll stay with you for the rest of my life."
"Really? I also thought we would grow old together, but one thing after another shows that it's not like that at all. Ayi, I'm so scared, so scared! I'm scared that Gu Zhiyao will take you away. As long as she's alive, I won't have any peace. So what should I do? Ayi, can you teach me what to do? Or should I kill Gu Zhiyao? Only by killing her can I completely eliminate any future troubles. Yes, I have to kill her!"
"Yuanyuan, you can't think like that!" He Yi couldn't help but shout.
“That’s how I see it, Ayi. It’s either her or me. We can’t coexist. You have to choose between us. Do you want her to live or me? If you still love me, then help me kill Gu Zhiyao. With your abilities, you can make her disappear from this world without anyone noticing. Ayi, help me kill her!”
It seems Zheng Yuanxi has really gone mad!
She made no attempt to hide her viciousness and murderous intent from He Yi!
Looking at her in this frenzied and out-of-control state, He Yi felt utterly unfamiliar and heartbroken.
