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

Chapter 197: We must help Zhiyao get her child back!

Rain began to fall from the sky, a light drizzle that made the world seem even more sorrowful and melancholic.

Quan Xinyu looked at He Yi, who remained motionless and still immersed in grief. He wanted to remind him and ask if he wanted to leave, but then he thought that President He probably wouldn't leave, so he gave up and continued to quietly accompany He Yi until the old lady made a phone call, and then they finally left the orphanage.

Lin Yu woke up in the afternoon and looked around, feeling as if she had been in another world.

The headmistress came in and was relieved to see that she was awake. "Ayu, are you hungry? Do you want to eat here with the children before you leave?"

Lin Yu stared at the photos on the counter and asked, "This room..."

“This used to be where Zhiyao lived. There were originally two other girls around her age, but they all moved out after they grew up. Only Zhiyao stayed until she graduated from university. After that, she went to work, but I still kept this room so she could stay when she came back.” The dean picked up the photo on the bedside table, looking at Gu Zhiyao's beautiful and charming face in the picture, and his heart ached again. “I can’t believe that such a vibrant life has been lost like this. She always told the children that life is precious, and no matter how miserable life is, you can’t take your life lightly. Only by living well can there be hope. But she was so young…”

Lin Yu also cried sadly again, crying so hard that she could hardly breathe and coughing incessantly. The dean quickly patted her back gently.

After some time, Lin Yu finally calmed down and remembered a few things. She then said to the director, "Director, I have something to do later, so I won't be able to eat with you. I'll eat with you next time I come to see Zhiyao. If possible, please take the children to visit Zhiyao more often. She must be very lonely living alone in the back mountain..."

"Yes, I will take them there every day, don't worry."

"If you need anything, just let me know. This is Zhiyao's home, and it's also my home. You and the children are Zhiyao's family, and they're also my family. Don't be shy with me, okay? Now that Zhiyao is gone, let me take care of you in her place."

"Thank you, Ayu. Zhiyao is a good girl, and the friends she makes are also good girls. Take care of yourself, and let's not let Zhiyao worry or be sad over there."

"Okay. I'll be going now. Remember to call me if you need anything." Lin Yu finally bid farewell to the dean and left.

Then, they went directly to Lin Houze's law firm.

When Zhiyao was still alive, she didn't want anyone to know about her past. Now that Zhiyao is gone, she doesn't need to worry about so much. At least she can tell Lin Houze, and she still needs Lin Houze to help Zhiyao get justice!

Lin Houze was quite surprised to see Lin Yu's pale face, disheveled hair, and especially her eyes, which were as red as peaches. It took him a while to confirm that this was indeed Lin Yu. He then asked with concern, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

Lin Yu stared at Lin Houze, then opened her mouth and said with difficulty, "Zhiyao... she's passed away."

After she finished speaking, tears welled up in her eyes again.

Lin Houze, on the other hand, seemed to have heard something unbelievable and couldn't believe it at all. He wondered if Lin Yu was joking or talking nonsense.

But seeing Lin Yu's miserable appearance and the tears already streaming down her face, he knew this was no joke. He staggered back, grabbed Lin Yu urgently, and asked, "What did you say? Zhiyao is gone? Why? How could she be dead?"

"Difficult labor."

"Difficult labor? She... is pregnant? But she's not married yet, is she? Who is the father of the child?" Lin Houze was even more shocked.

"It's He Yi."

"He Yi? You mean...that He Yi? The He Yi who is the heir to the He Group?"

"Yes." Lin Yu then briefly recounted the love-hate entanglement between Gu Zhiyao and He Yi, her eyes filled with hatred. "Houze, I came to see you today because I want your help to avenge Zhiyao!"

It took Lin Houze a long time to finally process what Lin Yu had told him before he asked, "To avenge Zhiyao? Do you want to settle scores with He Yi?"

"No, it's Zheng Yuanxi! That hypocritical and vicious woman! I suspect that Zhiyao's death wasn't an accident, but rather that someone harmed her. Before giving birth, Zhiyao mentioned to me that Zheng Yuanxi and Wen Ya might tamper with her during childbirth. And since Zheng Yuanxi and Wen Ya had previously caused the miscarriage of one of Zhiyao's children, it wouldn't be surprising if they did it this time. Zheng Yuanxi didn't want Zhiyao to interfere with her and He Yi's happiness, was afraid that He Yi would fall in love with Gu Zhiyao, and was also afraid that Zhiyao would take the child back. So she simply wanted to eliminate the root of the problem and take this opportunity to kill Zhiyao, creating the illusion that Zhiyao died in childbirth. Unfortunately, the wheels of justice turn slowly but surely, they will definitely be punished!" Every word Lin Yu spoke seemed to be spat out from between her teeth, filled with boundless hatred!

Lin Houze remained stunned, pondering for a long time before saying, "According to what you say, it is indeed possible, but since they were able to come up with such a scheme, they must have made foolproof preparations, otherwise they wouldn't have failed to detect it even from He Yi."

"He Yi's love for Zheng Yuanxi has reached the point where he can't distinguish right from wrong. He subconsciously and unconditionally trusts Zheng Yuanxi, so he wouldn't have imagined that she would do such a vicious thing. We can't count on him. Besides, I also plan to take the child back. This is Zhiyao's child. She loves this child very much. Every time she thinks about He Yi taking the child away and giving it to Zheng Yuanxi, her heart aches. She's always thinking about how to escape with the baby. So I can't let the child recognize Zheng Yuanxi as her mother. I want Zheng Yuanxi's wishful thinking to fail and make her pay a heavy price! Besides, she won't be genuinely good to the child. She might even abuse the child. We must not let such a tragedy happen!"

“But this child belongs to He Yi and Zhi Yao. If Zhi Yao were still alive, there would be a chance to fight for it. Now that Zhi Yao is gone, the child will belong to He Yi. No matter how good your relationship is with Zhi Yao, you are not the child’s direct relatives, so you can’t beat He Yi!” Lin Houze analyzed rationally.

"Then let Zheng Yuanxi be ruined, let her never have Zhiyao's child again, and let her spend the rest of her life in prison."

"Do you have any relevant evidence? Or any witnesses?" Lin Houze asked.

"The doctor who delivered Zhiyao's baby has always liked Zhiyao and even recognized her as her goddaughter. She also knows about Zhiyao's entire plan. If we ask her for help, we might be able to find some clues."

“That works, Lin Yu. Since you’ve come to me, let’s help Zhiyao together. To be honest, I still feel like I’m in a dream and can’t believe what Zhiyao has been through. But you’re right, as Zhiyao’s good friends, we have to do something for her.”

"Thank you, Houze. It's no wonder Zhiyao always says she's very grateful to you."

Lin Houze smiled bitterly. What he wanted was never Zhiyao's gratitude, but rather that Zhiyao would also go the other way with him and love each other.

He had always been puzzled as to why, despite his excellent qualities, he couldn't win over Zhiyao, and even began to doubt himself. Now, after hearing the whole story, he finally understood.

It turns out that she already had someone she loved. The man she loved was He Yi, the famous He Yi, who was known as a business legend and was handsome, rich and capable!
