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

Chapter 226 I'll settle these scores with you one by one!

Gu Zhiyao looked at the dangerous message clearly emanating from his eyes and felt that what he had just said was not just a curse in anger. He might actually force himself on her right here. And when she thought of his assault last night, she felt a deep fear in her heart.

Yes, that man is a devil!

But why should he do that?

Why humiliate her like this?

How much effort and dedication did she put in to get to this position? How much hardship did she endure to persevere? Yet he attributes all her efforts and sacrifices to selling her body.

Yes, she really is despicable. She rejected so many good men and instead became obsessed with such a beastly devil, giving herself to him without reservation and enduring all his abuse and domination. That's probably why he has such a perception and contempt for her.

As Gu Zhiyao stared intently at him, she felt as if a sharp sword had pierced her heart. Then she saw bright red blood filling her vision, and tears welled up in her eyes.

But she quickly suppressed her anger, her gaze returning to its icy coldness, and said, word by word, "He Yi, I may be cheap, but what about you? You're a devil! When I sleep with those men, at least they give me benefits. As for you? Besides repeatedly manipulating me and then colluding with your lover Zheng Yuanxi to force me to have your child, what have you given me? As for Brother Xiao Lin, you can't even compare to him. You're not even worth a single finger of his!"

He Yi's dark eyes narrowed again, his face grew even more gloomy, and veins bulged on his forehead.

what did she say?

She actually did have relationships with those men...

Although he had said those humiliating things to her in a fit of anger, He Yi couldn't take it anymore when he heard her admit that she had indeed had affairs with those men.

Facing his devastating rage, Gu Zhiyao showed no fear whatsoever and continued angrily, "I said, if any of you hurt me, I will repay you tenfold. You, Zheng Yuanxi, Wen Ya, you are all executioners, I will not let you get away with this!"

Beep beep—just then, the crisp sound of a cell phone broke the tension and silence in the air.

Before Gu Zhiyao could even look at it, He Yi snatched her phone away. She couldn't help but shout angrily, "He Yi, you scumbag! Don't push me too far! Don't think I can't do anything to you!"

He Yi's gaze remained sharp as he stared at her, and after a moment he pressed the answer button.

"Mayor Gu, are you still not done on your end? Is there a problem? Should I come to the restroom to check on you? The banquet is about to start, and all the officials from Yuncheng are looking for you." The assistant's hurried voice came quickly.

Gu Zhiyao was taken aback, then opened her mouth and replied, "Yes, I ran into a small matter, but I just finished dealing with it and was about to go back to the hall."

"Oh, then please be careful. I'll talk to them."

"it is good."

After the call ended, Gu Zhiyao decisively snatched the phone back from He Yi's hand, then raised her hand and slammed it hard against his handsome face, leaving a clear five-claw mark on He Yi's exquisitely handsome face.

"Hey, I'm not the Gu Zhiyao I used to be! Don't even think about hurting me again! I'm back this time not just for work, but also because I have so many scores to settle with you, with Zheng Yuanxi whom you blindly fell in love with, and with the madwoman Wen Ya you attracted. You all just wait, I'll make you and Zheng Yuanxi, that heartless dog of a man, pay the price! You love Zheng Yuanxi so much, don't worry, I'll make sure you're together forever, that you'll love each other in your next life, and be together for all eternity. He Yi, you dog of a man, you'll die a horrible death!!" Every word Gu Zhiyao uttered was filled with intense hatred.

She gave him a hateful glare and rushed out of the stairwell.

He Yi stood motionless, the words she had just yelled at him echoing in his ears—her curses filled with deep hatred and cruelty towards him!

He slowly raised his hand and touched his burning cheek.

That slap must have used all its strength.

Yes, she has changed; she is no longer the Gu Zhiyao she used to be.

If it were the old Gu Zhiyao, how could she bear to hit him like that, how could she bear to curse him like that, how could she be angry with him?

He Yi thought coldly, his handsome face growing darker and his anger rising. Just then, his phone rang.

Quan Xinyu asked him where he was, saying the banquet was about to begin. The mayor of Yuncheng also asked about him, and Zheng Yuanxi's father also said that he had disappeared.

"I'll be there soon." He Yi paused for a moment, then replied briefly and decisively.

Then, he slowly walked out of the stairwell.

After returning to the banquet, Gu Zhiyao had already composed herself. Many people came to toast her, first the Party Secretary, then the Mayor, the Deputy Mayor, and Zhong Yi, who had also attended today's meeting!

After returning to the hotel last night, Gu Zhiyao had someone investigate Zhong Yi and found that his family background was stronger than she had imagined. Although it could not compare with the He Group, it could still be considered a wealthy family in Yuncheng.

Therefore, she decided to cultivate a good relationship with this person, as she might need his help when dealing with the Zheng family in the future!

Faced with Zhong Yi's deliberate attempt to strike up a conversation, she responded with grace and charm, occasionally flashing a sweet and alluring smile.

She immediately captivated Zhong Yi, and looking at her stunningly beautiful face, her fair and rosy skin, and her graceful figure, he couldn't wait to become entangled with her.

He Yi returned to the banquet and greeted everyone before seeing Gu Zhiyao and Zhong Yi together.

He naturally knew exactly what kind of person Zhong Yi was; he was a complete playboy, leaving his mark everywhere, and many women would fall for him.

So, seeing Gu Zhiyao and Zhong Yi chatting and laughing, with Zhong Yi staring lecherously at Gu Zhiyao's chest and deliberately getting closer and closer to her, He Yi was furious and instinctively wanted to go over there.

Quan Xinyu quickly called out to him, "President, what are you planning to do? You can't go over there!"

He Yi immediately frowned, his eyes darkening.

“Or do anything you need me to do? There are important people here today, as well as many reporters and Chairman Zheng. Your sudden unusual behavior during the meeting has already caught his attention. If you go over there now, he will definitely not let it go.” Quan Xinyu glanced in Gu Zhiyao’s direction and continued, “That Zhong Yi, right? I will keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn’t do anything inappropriate to Gu Zhiyao.”

Despite Quan Xinyu's repeated pleas and dissuasion, He Yi finally didn't go over. Yes, why was he so impulsive? So many eyes were watching him. If he ran over like that, even if he didn't say a word, he would probably be on the front page of tomorrow's news!

Sure enough, this woman is a menace. Whenever he's involved with her, he loses all control and rationality.

After thinking it over, He Yi couldn't help but glare fiercely at Gu Zhiyao. Just then, the mayor and his group came looking for him, so he went over first, thus completely putting the matter aside.
