After the divorce, the CEO forced me to have his child.

Chapter 435 Another Truth

Yifei could easily understand what he meant.

But I'm really unwilling to accept it!

Uncle, what gives you the right to do whatever you want! Zhiyao doesn't want to marry you at all; she's not your aunt!

Before, you didn't want to be with her; you only knew how to force her to have your child. Now that you want to be with her, you're trying to force her again.

You don't love her at all!

If you truly love her, you wouldn't push her into this abyss of pain!

Then, everyone fell silent.

After a while, He Yi left, and Yi Fei stayed in the same spot for a few more moments before going back inside.

The reunion dinner was plentiful, with a table full of food and a wonderful aroma.

The scene today was noticeably different from usual; the dining table was almost completely full!

Niu Niu kept talking, and even He hope was amused by her, which brought a rare smile to his face.

The old lady couldn't stop smiling, and there were even glistening tears in her eyes—tears of emotion.

Yes, such a precious and rare situation should not be ruined.

Yifei watched silently, feeling incredibly distressed.

He knew he should accept this situation and be happy about it, but he really didn't want Zhiyao to marry his uncle. First of all, his uncle didn't deserve such a good woman as Zhiyao, and this also meant that he would completely lose Zhiyao.

"Yifei?" Gu Zhiyao happened to be sitting next to him and called out to him.

Seeing her concerned expression, Yifei felt even more distressed. He really wanted to disregard everything, pull her into his arms, and ask her if she was willing to give up everything and come with him!

But in the end, faced with her gentle and kind face, he still held back.

He forced a smile, then picked up some food and put it in her bowl, saying casually, "You probably rarely get to eat such fresh Chinese food over there, so eat more."

"Ah Yao, I heard from Niu Niu that you really like this dish. This was made especially for you. Remember to finish it all," the old lady said.

Gu Zhiyao felt a lump in her throat and nodded, "Okay, I know, I will definitely finish it."

Next, Niu Niu continued talking about various topics and even promised to keep the old lady company tonight to welcome the New Year. The old lady was genuinely pleased by this.

After finishing her meal, the old lady took Niu Niu to play. "A Yao, this time I had Xiao Li renovate a room on the second floor near the terrace. Although it's a bit far from Chen Chen's room, it's only two rooms away. Niu Niu will keep me company tonight, so you should get a good night's sleep. I'll have someone wake you up tomorrow morning, and then you can go and wish your grandmother a Happy New Year."

"Okay, thank you, Grandma He. Thank you for your help."

"Don't talk nonsense. I wish I had trouble like this every day. It's a pity you're going back in a few days." The old lady showed a touch of sadness.

“Great-Grandma, we’ll come back often, we don’t have to wait until the Spring Festival. We can come back whenever we have other holidays, or you can come over there to visit us,” Niu Niu said immediately.

The old lady smiled happily, "As expected of my little darling, it's a deal then!"

"Yes! I'll go with you to the ancestral hall!"

"it is good."

The old lady left with the two little ones, and He Yi and Yi Fei, as grandchildren, followed along, as did He hope.

Originally, the old lady wanted Gu Zhiyao to come along, but after thinking it over, she didn't want to make things difficult for Gu Zhiyao.

Aunt Li escorted Gu Zhiyao to her temporary room, which was decorated much more softly, clearly intended for a woman.

"Please let me know if there's anything else you need to add," Aunt Li said kindly.

Gu Zhiyao replied politely, "It shouldn't be necessary. Thank you for your trouble, Aunt Li."

"It's no trouble at all, it's my duty. I won't bother you any longer, please just call me if you need anything."

"Okay, Happy New Year, Aunt Li."

"Happy New Year!"

After Aunt Li left, Gu Zhiyao walked around the room and came to the terrace.

Although the view from here wasn't as good as He Yi's room, it was still quite nice, offering a good view of the ancestral hall. The old lady led everyone into the house one after another.

Gu Zhiyao gradually looked away, opened her phone, and sent New Year's greetings to everyone.

Then I made a video call to Xiao Lin.

In the past, everyone celebrated the New Year together. Although it wasn't as lavish as the New Year's Eve dinner in China, the sense of ritual was still good. Everyone was happy and cheerful. Thinking that he was all alone over there now, Gu Zhiyao felt a pang of heartache.

Unfortunately, no one answered the video call.

Did he leave?

Or are you still busy at the company?

It's Chinese New Year here, a national holiday, but people abroad are working normally.

Gu Zhiyao didn't think much of it and sent New Year's greetings to Lin Yu, Xiaoyu, Lin Houze, Sister An, and Jia Hui. Everyone replied quickly, and Gu Zhiyao chatted with them.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and footsteps echoed in the quiet room.

Gu Zhiyao turned around and was stunned.

It's He hope!

Considering it was New Year's Eve, Gu Zhiyao didn't want to cause any unpleasantness with He hope, so she said directly, "Miss He, I came here today at Grandma He's invitation. Although I have no blood relation with her, since she is Chenchen and Niuniu's great-grandmother and she is a very nice person, I hope she can be happy. If you have something to say, why don't we find another time to talk?"

He hope smiled, but his gaze towards Gu Zhiyao remained devoid of any warmth or kindness.

Then she said, "Don't worry, I don't want Grandma to be unhappy during the New Year either. Since I saw you here, I just wanted to say a few words to you. I won't hit anyone again."

Gu Zhiyao's expression froze slightly.

“Judging from A-Yi’s attitude, he is determined to remarry you, which means that it’s impossible for you and Yi-Fei. A-Yi is my younger brother. He has always been decisive. Even Grandma can’t control his affairs, so I can’t control them either. Therefore, I won’t interfere with his desire to marry you. I just want to tell you that since you and A-Yi can’t be separated, then don’t involve Yi-Fei. Do you understand…” He hope paused for a moment.

She continued, "The reason Yifei agreed to his father's decision to enter politics was because he made a deal with his father. He asked his father to uphold justice for you in Zheng Yuanxi's case and to do his best to prevent any factors that might harm you. In return, Yifei promised to completely let go of his entanglement with you and never marry you in this lifetime."

The sudden news was like a bolt from the blue, leaving Gu Zhiyao's mind reeling.

She stared intently at He Xi, wondering how much truth there was in his words, or if he was just talking nonsense.

However, as she recalled various related events, she remembered that she had wondered why Yifei had suddenly made this choice, and that the reason should be related to her. Yifei's behavior during this period also explained some issues!

Yes, he's such a kind person, he'd sacrifice himself to help her.

Yifei, you're so silly.

I don't deserve you doing this for me!
