Chapter 70: A Twist of Fate

Rainsford seemingly believed Ripple's words, he still carefully arranged for an investigation.On the other side, at the bioengineering company, they were cleaning up the mess caused by the ripples. Th...Wu Junyi, with his thick skin, proposed going on a trip as a reward. Wan Guifen couldn't refuse, and coincidentally, Lian Yi was going to the capital for a report. So they decided to go together, claiming it was for mutual support. After all, sixteen-year-old Wu Junyi was almost 1.7 meters tall, looking quite capable.

"Jun Yi, accompany your sister to the report and take a trip at the same time. Listen to your sister's arrangements along the way and take good care of her. Protect her well. Don't just stand there like a telephone pole."

Wan Guifen urged him relentlessly.

Wu Junyi was numb to it already. He felt like he was the one who needed protecting, his older sister's fighting ability was off the charts. He should just be a good younger brother.

Wàn Guìfēn gave Wú Jùnyì some money and only gave Liányī a small red lucky bag, inside which was a talisman she had obtained. She said it was to bless Liányī's studies in the capital, ensuring everything went smoothly and she achieved academic success.

"Mom, can you not be so superstitious If this really works, everyone would go to ask for it, who would want to study practice questions anymore!"

Wu Junyi complained.

"Little brother, you don't understand this. It's my mother's expectation of me, a heartfelt wish!"

Wu Lianyi didn't care at all, she said with a smile.

"That's right, that's the beautiful hope of being a parent. You child won't speak, so don't speak, just listen to your older sister."

Wan Guifen immediately agreed.

Wan Mu's intentions were crystal clear to Lian Yi. She glanced at the pearl pendant hanging around the other's neck, her eyes flashing with a hint of sarcasm.

Zhao Fenglin learned through this modified pearl necklace that Wan Guifen was the culprit behind the exchange of the two children. Before leaving, Zhao's father had also entrusted all this information to Lianyi, allowing her to use it at her discretion.

The ripples didn't pry into other people's preferences, they only listened to Wanmu's true thoughts at some key moments.

Just yesterday, she happened to overhear. Her mother told Wu Junyi to travel to the capital with Lianyi, first to stop Lianyi from going to Shanghai, and second to save money. She only gave her son a return ticket, and if he wanted to have fun, he would have to spend extra money, which naturally fell on Wu Lianyi's head.

After Lianyi and Zhao reunited, they moved into the big house. Wan Guifen had been there once, and it was much better than her own pigeon coop at home. She originally wanted to move in using the excuse of taking care of the college entrance exam student, but the live-in nanny from Shanghai, Aunt Pang, sent her packing with just a few words.

“Madam Wan, when Mr. Zhao asked me to come over, he said I only needed to take care of Lian Yi, and the salary was also for one person. Now that you are here, I need to take care of two people. I need to ask Mr. Zhao for permission and at least get a raise.”

"I don't need you to take care of me, I'm here to take care of Ripples."

Wan Mu immediately waved her hand.

“Well said, do you think I would let you stay here without providing food and drink These are all part of the daily expenses. If we exceed the budget, Mr. Zhao will definitely ask questions. Don't make it seem like I'm lining my own pockets. This will affect my reputation.”

“”

Then, Wu Lianyi stepped forward and smiled, diffusing the awkward situation.

"Mom, you already work and take care of your little brother. That's hard enough! I don't want you to have to worry about anything else too. It would break my heart!"

I was thinking that when the weekend comes, I'll have Junyi come to my place. I'll tutor him in math for a day, so you can also have a rest day, and Junyi can change up his learning environment. With me keeping an eye on her, you can rest assured.

Hearing this, Wan Guifen finally felt relieved. Though she couldn't enjoy a big house and a nanny herself, she was happy that her son could. That settled it.

When Wu Junyi learned that he would still be abused even if his older sister moved out, he felt utterly hopeless. After his protests were ignored, he was packed off to the apartment in the postal and telecommunications district by his mother the next day, where he began a miserable weekend.

When ripples got into university and left, the house they had been "renting" was naturally vacated, so that their mother wouldn't benefit at all.

Wu Lianyi was very careful when she organized her things and took her leave this time, because she knew that in a short period of time, she wouldn't be returning to this place.

Then the two siblings happily went to the capital. When they arrived in the capital, Zhao Fenglin's assistant, Xiao Han, picked them up.

Only from Xiao Han did she learn that Zhao Xianrou had gotten into trouble, of course, these were all things said behind Wu Junyi's back. Wu Yong and Wan Guifen still didn't know that Zhao Xianrou was in trouble.

Shanghai Zhao's Villa

Yang Jun came to visit Zhao Fenglin and his wife with his wife, Pu Li. Today, Pu Li was very polite and kept a low profile. After all, in the end, Zhao Xianrou was truly innocent and caught up in this matter.

"Zhao, little brother, this is the specific information I found. You really can't blame our Ziyi; he fell into someone else's trap."

Yang Jun shook his head helplessly and handed over a manila envelope. Inside was the information he had hired a private investigator to find.

On the day of the gathering, Yang Ziyi's drink was drugged. After he realized something was wrong, he prepared to leave the hotel, but he was stopped by Wei Xinyi, who proactively offered to help him back to his room to rest.

Yang Ziyì's consciousness became increasingly blurry, but his brain was buzzing with excitement. He realized something was wrong. As Wei Xinyī helped him to bed, he took advantage of his body's inertia and flung her to the head of the bed. Wei Xinyī's head hit the corner of the bedside table and she immediately passed out.

He stumbled out of the room, ready to leave. As soon as he stepped out and leaned against the wall for support, a hotel waiter rushed past him with a food trolley, bumping into him accidentally.

This immediately caused Yang Ziyi, who was already unsteady on his feet, to fall. The waiter rushed forward in fright, helped him up, picked up the room card that had fallen to the ground, and supported Yang Ziyi into the room.

The waiter didn't even glance inside the room to see if anyone was there. He just shoved the key card into Yang Ziyue's hand and, while apologizing, backed out of the room and wheeled away the food cart.

While Zhao Xianrou was originally resting in the room, she heard the sound of the door opening and muffled voices. She forced herself to get up from the bed and asked:

"Who is it"

Then he met Yang Ziyi's blood-red eyes, and what happened next goes without saying.

Zhao Fenglin also handed the materials he had found to Yang Jun, his face wasn't looking good either. He said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes:

“It seems Ziyì is still a favored darling, making the Miss Wei put so much thought into this.”

Wei Xinyi is the one who drugged Ziyix. Her intention is simple: she wants to sleep with Yang Ziyix and get him to marry her. Since the Yang family values reputation, they can't refuse her.

It's a pity that things didn't go as planned, Wei Xinyi made wedding dresses for others.

At such a young age, to have so many schemes! Our Yang family can't afford this!

Yang Jun said in a low voice.

Puli then spoke:

"As it turns out, our children are all victims. Let's think about how to minimize the harm!"

That child, too, grew up under my watch. If the Zhao family hadn't made a mistake about the children, they would have been engaged long ago.

I will not marry Yang Ziyi, and I don't want to have anything to do with him anymore!p.Her stomach started growling again, she furrowed her brow and was about to get out of bed when the door swung open. It was her younger sister, with a bruised nose and swollen face, glaring daggers a...
