Chapter 44: 44. She has no chance to bully you again!
?
“Do you... know who he is?”
Wan Wan’s gaze returned to Yi Liangze as she followed the direction of Xiao Chi’s finger. The truth is, she had seen him when she first came in – this uncle was almost as handsome as her father!
Yi Liangze was overwhelmed with emotions. He bent his tall body and slowly squatted down. Looking at Wan Wan’s pretty little face, he extended his trembling hand and tried caressing her cute little braids.
“Hello, Uncle.” Wan Wan had always rejected close contact with strangers, but she had a strange sense of trust in this uncle, just like the first time she met her mother. Therefore, she addressed him politely.
Uncle! Yi Liangze’s heart trembled violently because of this form of address, and then it faded.
He was completely absent from Wan Wan’s growth process. If it weren’t for Old Lady Yi and Fang Yaqin’s unintentional discovery, he wouldn’t even know of her existence.
Yi Liangze remained silent for a long time. He stared into the child’s large, dark eyes. These eyes were so similar to He Yi’s and so similar to Baby’s. Who would have thought that the children who grew up in two different families would be twins of the same mother?
“Wan Wan.” Yi Liangze finally gently stroked Wan Wan’s cute little head. His movements were so gentle as if he was caressing an easily startled kitten. “It’s a very nice name. You are as beautiful as your name.”
Hearing the praise, the little girl smiled shyly and lowered her head.
Yi Liangze saw the charm of another woman from her lowering her head. It was so similar. Without a doubt, Wan Wan was more like her mother.
“I heard that your Aunt Su took your brother away from home recently. Only you and Chu Tianyi are living together.” Yi Liangze suppressed the waves in his heart and began to deal with things rationally. Since they didn’t have much time, he had to seize every moment he spent with Wan Wan.
Wan Wan raised her head again in surprise. “How do you know?”
Yi Liangze’s smile didn’t reach his eyes. He asked gently, “Are you happy that he’s not at home?”
“...” this was a very dangerous question, and Wan Wan cleverly didn’t answer it.
However, Yi Liangze read the answer from her eyes. Recently, after a detailed investigation of Wan Wan, Su Anqi often used the excuse to beat and maltreat Wan Wan. Her behavior was extremely vile. Although Chu Tianyi didn’t directly abuse Wan Wan, he treated her coldly and violently. He didn’t pay attention to her for a long time and even turned a blind eye to Su Anqi’s atrocities.
Due to the above reasons, Yi Liangze decided that before he took Wan Wan back to the Yi family, he would not give Su Anqi the chance to return to the Chu family and continue to abuse Wan Wan.
“Don’t worry, she won’t have the chance to go back to the Chu family to bully you in the future.” Yi Liangze made a promise in the child’s ear – A promise was a promise!
“Really... Really?” Wan Wan’s big eyes lit up, but she still couldn’t believe it.
During this time that Su Anqi had been absent, she felt that her life was so wonderful. Every day, only her father accompanied her. There was no sarcasm from her stepmother, no beating, scolding, or framing... she prayed selfishly, hoping that Su Anqi would never come home, but she never expected that her prayers would come true.
“Of course.” Yi Liangze blinked his eyes, he continued gently, “And you will have the love of your parents again. You will no longer have to wait for others to give birth. You will return to your real home. There will be your grandparents, great-grandfather, and great-grandmother. There will be a large family there. I know that they will love and dote on you the same way. They will make up for the negligence and neglect that they have shown you all these years. You also have a smart, beautiful, and cute brother like you. He would be your playmate at home and your protector in Kindergarten!”
The good news came one after another, and Wan Wan couldn’t believe it. “Is dad going to remarry mom? I still have a brother? But... my grandparents have great-grandparents... they’re all dead! You’re lying to me!”
Although her intuition told her that she could trust this handsome uncle in front of her, what he said was too outrageous!
Looking at Wan Wan’s big eyes that were mixed with surprise, terror, turmoil, and confusion, Yi Liangze’s heart was stabbed hard. She was only a five-year-old child. At such an innocent age, she was more mature and sensitive than other children her age. Even Baby looked more innocent than her, closer to the state that a five-year-old child should be.
“If I lie to you... I’m a puppy!” Yi Liangze’s voice was a little hoarse, but he still controlled his emotions and extended the little finger of his right hand.
After a slight hesitation, Wan Wan still chose to believe him. She extended her slender little finger and solemnly pulled the hook with him, then used the thumb stamp.
After completing the promise ceremony, the girl smiled like a flower.
She looked forward to the beautiful future. Where her wicked stepmother had left home, and her parents had reconciled. They would be a cheerful and happy family.
The girl’s joy was completely obvious to Yi Liangze. His eyes were as dark as the night sky. His thin lips were slightly pursed, and the curvature slowly became stern.

“Uh, why are you here again? No, you... You’re here again!”
When Wei Jiameng saw Fang Yu again, she was a little surprised, but then she became inexplicably happy. Ever since she met Fang Yu for the first time, she had a deep impression of him. His handsome face with a bit of roguish air often appeared in her mind. Fate was a very subtle thing, and it could only be understood but not uttered.
Fang Yu saw that Wei Jiameng could not hide her joy and elation, so he deliberately curved the corner of his mouth to make the dimples on the corner of his mouth deeper, which was also more attractive. He was a veteran flirt who had dated countless girls over the years. A “simple and stupid” woman like Wei Jiameng was naturally not a problem for him. As long as he used some tricks, he could guarantee that she would fall into his arms.
But the problem was that Wei Jiameng was not his ultimate goal. He Yi was!
“Cough.” Fang Yu could only use this infatuated person who came up to him to pave the way. He spread his hands and his handsome face was full of helplessness. “I still want to apply for a job as a business consultant for your company. I wonder if your president has changed his mind!”
Speaking of He Yi’s stubbornness, Wei Jiameng was also very helpless. “I’m sorry, I may not be able to help you.”
In the company building of the Fu Xing Leather Factory, Wei Jiameng was probably the only person who got a job opportunity through connections. Other than her, He Yi would not make an exception for anyone.
“Sigh, forget it then!” Fang Yu was frustrated. He was used to being surrounded and chased by women, but he was repeatedly thwarted by He Yi. He could not help but feel angry and hesitant.
Wei Jiameng questioned in a low voice, “You are the Crown Prince of Fang Fang Group, yet you keep running to a newly opened factory. If it were me... it would be strange too! Who can believe that you would work here steadfastly?”
Fang Yu looked at Wei Jiameng in surprise. This woman did not appear to be as stupid as he thought. His eyes rolled around, feeling that if this trick didn’t fool Wei Jiameng, then it would be even more difficult to fool He Yi. No wonder the other party had not been willing to take the bait!
“Cough,” Fang Yu rubbed his nose and decided to change tactics. He would speak the truth directly. “It seems that I can’t hide it from you. To tell you the truth, I came here for another purpose!”
