Chapter 19: Did I Ever Abuse You?
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
"Wan Wan, is that you?
Perhaps He Yi was too emotional, the child cried out instantly with a suppressed agony in her voice.
"Wan Wan!" He Yi became agitated instantly. Her heart was torn open the moment she thought of poor Wan Wan crouching outside the booth alone and sobbed helplessly at Guibin Hotel that day. "What's wrong? What happened? Did that beast Chu Tianyi abuse you? I'm going to pick you up now…"
"Do not talk about daddy like that!" Wan Wan who was crying snapped suddenly and clarified, "Daddy never abused me! He is not a beast!"
He Yi paused before asking reluctantly, "Can you please tell me what happened?"
There a long silence. The girl seemed to be unsure of how to describe her sadness.
"Wan Wan, I am...really happy that you called me! That means you really trust me! Although...we were separated when you were just born, I believe that blood is thicker than water. You remembered my number and called me when you are upset…" He Yi choked with her sobs and she could no longer continue.
According to her original plan, it was not the time for her to get Wan Wan back yet. However, she could not just ignore her when she called her despite the timing. Panicked, she started thinking of adjusting her whole plan to gain Wan Wan's custody as soon as possible.
It would not be difficult for her to gain Wan Wan's custody, all she had to do was testify to court that Wan Wan was not Chu Tianyi's biological daughter. However, she was worried that doing so might cause trauma to Wan Wan and affect her growth in the future.
Therefore, she had been thinking of how to convince Chu Tianyi to return Wan Wan to her for the past few days.
He Yi calmed her emotions and asked softly, "Can you please tell me what happened?"

"Wan Wan, what are you doing?" Su Anqi shrieked as if she caught a thief.
The phone in Wan Wan's hand fell to the carpet as she looked up palely and stared at the menacing Su Anqi with fear.
"Goodness, you made a call using your father's phone?" Sharp-eyed Su Anqi noticed the ongoing call and grabbed the phone before questioning her. "Say it, who are you calling?"
"Su Anqi, are you abusing Wan Wan in Chu Tianyi's name again?" He Yi's furious roar came from the phone.
"Huh, it's you!" Su Anqi understood what happened at once and she on the verge of yelling when Chu Piaoyun asked her who she was talking to and an idea struck her. She sneered and shouted rampantly, "Yes, I am abusing her! Come and fight me!"
Chu Tianyi left the booth and went to the washroom so Su Anqi did not conceal her disdain toward Wan Wan since he was not around.
Su Anqi told He Yi her whereabouts in Guibin Hotel after triggering her.
Chu Piaoyun planned to visit the hotel personally to make renovation plans after signing the tenancy agreement. Su Anqi brought Chu Tianyi and the two children along to discuss the renovation in order to please her.
Su Anqi saw Wan Wan's discreet call to He Yi using Chu Tianyi's phone as an opportunity. Therefore, she disclosed her location to He Yi so that Chu Piaoyun would bump into her.
Su Anqi gave a sly smile when she thought about Chu Piaoyun's disdain toward He Yi.

He Yi knew that it was a trap but she could not just leave Wan Wan there so she asked Ji Xueshan to drive her to Guibin Hotel immediately.
He Yi tried to calm herself down from anger on the way there. She speculated all the possible scenarios she could face and analysed them one by one.
She figured that Chu Tianyi was there at Guibin Hotel too since Wan Wan and Su Anqi were there and wondered why.
He Yi had a feeling that Chu Tianyi might have found out that she signed a continuing contrct with Mister Chen but she did not panic. She was already prepared for this day.

"Queen" Chu was always busy. It was obvious that she put emphasis on this matter since she squeezed time to visit Guibin Hotel to make renovation plans. It was clear that she genuinely liked the hotel.
Wan Fang Group's CEO assistant Xiao Yu and secretary Shang were walking alongside Chu Piaoyun and Chu Tianyi also made time to accompany his aunt to visit the hotel. He also ordered his employee to book a VIP booth on the seventh floor so that Su Anqi and the two children could rest there.
Chu Piaoyun and Chu Tianyi were busy discussing the renovation when Su Anqi ran over with a concerned expression and said to Chu Tianyi anxiously, "Oh no! Wan Wan called He Yi discreetly and told her that you abused her!"
Chu Tianyi was shocked and he denied instinctively. "That's impossible!"
"Huh! He Yi is already on her way to question you, and yet you still think that it's impossible?" Su Anqi rolled her eyes and almost fainted from fury.
A hint of menace flashed past Chu Piaoyun's eyes and she asked coldly, "He Yi is already on her way here? How dare her!"
She ordered her employee to take Wan Wan to her immediately.
Noticing that she was agitated, Chu Tianyi said hurriedly, "Wan Wan is just a child. Her mistakes are all on me." He paused for a while before continuing, "I will not let He Yi off easily if she causes trouble here!"
Unconvinced, Chu Piaoyun insisted, "You should ask Wan Wan what's her issue. I can't believe that she called her mother to question you!"
*
He Yi and Ji Xueshan went to Guibin Hotel as soon as they could. The group stood in the meeting room as Wan Wan sobbed with her head low when He Yi arrived out of breath.
"Wan Wan!" He Yi ran to lock her in an embrace without hesitation and she could not let go of her.
Ji Xueshan stood and watched from a distance coolly as ordered by He Yi on the way there. She told her that there would be no need for her to get involved unless there was a fight as He Yi wanted to solve the problem by herself.
"He Yi, how dare you come here to look for trouble!" Chu Piaoyun was the first to rage. She yelled boisterously, "How dare you!"
The Chu family always had the tendency to side with their own people. Chu Piaoyun only berated He Yi despite knowing that she came because of Wan Wan's call as everything wrong was He Yi's doing in her eyes.
He Yi looked up to glance at the pleased Su Anqi, Chu Tianyi who was pursing his lips with a gloomy expression, and lastly Chu Piaoyun's cold expression. She suppressed her anger and said coldly. "Wan Wan has been wronged two times within a short few days and yet she had no one to comfort her or talk on her behalf! I have to take her if you're not going to treat her well!"
"How dare you! Chu Piaoyun became furious and roared, "I have let you off because of Young Master Yi that time, I am not going to do that again if you do something! You can try me and suffer the consequence if you don't believe me!"
"Oh." There was no fear on He Yi's face as she replied coldly, "I wouldn't want to provoke Queen Chu! However, Wan Wan is my daughter. She had suffered abuse and sorrow in the Chu family, am I not allowed to take her? You Chu family should really think about karma even if you are tyrants in Yun City!"
"I forbid you!" Chu Piaoyun's face was distorted with anger, her manicured fingers were trembling slightly. "Tianyi, see? She's accusing us of being tyrants in Yun City! We should give her a taste of the Chu family's power since she said so!"
Su Anqi stood at the side excitedly to see what would happen next as her plan to spark a war worked.
Then, Chu Tianyi spoke in a nonchalant tone, "Wan Wan, did I ever abuse you?"
