Chapter 175: Chapter 161: He Really Deserves It

Zhao Yuanyuan now lives in a villa in the eco-district, and the Qi family has an old house, but Zhao Yuanyuan has been living outside in a house she arranged for herself since getting married.

She only occasionally goes back to stay at the old house with her husband and child; they rarely stay there the rest of the time.

He Min took Fang Anning over.

Qi Yaya happened to be at home and hurriedly greeted them when she opened the door.

"Hello Mrs. He, Anning, why are you here too?"

"Where’s your mother?" He Min asked.

Qi Yaya, seeing her face full of anger and not knowing what had happened, awkwardly said, "Upstairs."

"I’m going to find your mother," He Min huffed and went straight in.

Qi Yaya wanted to remind her to change shoes, but she did not dare to say anything seeing Mrs. He’s furious expression.

Fang Anning, however, conscientiously switched her shoes, then shrugged helplessly at Qi Yaya.

Qi Yaya quickly asked, "Anning, what happened to Mrs. He?"

"She’s angry; she feels used," Fang Anning said.

"Ah, used? By whom?" Qi Yaya asked, curious.

Then it dawned on her and she widened her eyes, "It wasn’t by my mom, was it?"

"Why else would we come to your house?" Fang Anning said.

"What on earth happened?" Qi Yaya hurriedly asked.

Fang Anning told Qi Yaya about today’s events, and Qi Yaya furrowed her brow, "That’s impossible, my mom hasn’t left the house all day, why would she stage something like this?"

"Maybe for your aunt," Fang Anning said.

Qi Yaya said further, "That’s even less likely, my mom has always despised what my aunt has done. If it weren’t for my grandfather, my mom wouldn’t bother with my aunt at all. This time my aunt almost dragged the Qi family down with her, and my mom was about to explode with anger; she even had a big fight with my dad over this. My mom didn’t even go to see my aunt when she was released from prison. How could she possibly help my aunt do something so disgraceful; it couldn’t have been my mom."

"I see, but don’t worry. If it really wasn’t your mom, Mrs. Liao will find out the truth. They are best friends, close friends, it will all be clearly explained," Fang Anning consoled her.

Qi Yaya nodded.

Then she happily said: "It’s your first time visiting my home, let me show you my room."

Fang Anning nodded.

She had said those words to Qi Yaya last time, but it hadn’t affected the friendship between them.

The key point was that Qi Yaya was a good girl who quickly realized her mistake and apologized to her. Afterwards, she still called Anning every so often and even visited her at the He family a few times, so their relationship returned to normal.

Qi Yaya took her back to her room, showed her the good stuff she had collected, and the photographs from her childhood.

Fang Anning looked at her childhood photos and laughed, "You were so cute as a kid!"

"Of course, I was chubby when I was young, and being chubby was considered cute, right? But now if I’m still chubby, it’s not cute; it’s ugly," Qi Yaya said sadly.

"Don’t belittle yourself," Fang Anning comforted her, "Your looks are so lovely, I don’t know how many would find them adorable. It’s just that those who don’t think you’re cute, they just don’t appreciate you, and those who do are the ones who think you are the cutest in the world."

"But I just want Bai Yunyang to appreciate me," Qi Yaya said, feeling gloomy.

Fang Anning thought about Bai Yunyang.

In fact, she didn’t know much about Bai Yunyang, having only met him a few times. She thought he seemed like a gentleman, as refined as jade.

Although sometimes his methods were somewhat despicable, they were still much milder compared to others.

What kind of woman would he like?

Fang Anning couldn’t imagine, and then looked at Qi Yaya and said, "I think Bai Yunyang would like you. If he doesn’t now, it might just be because he doesn’t understand you, isn’t familiar with you. Once he gets to know and understand you, he’ll like you."

"Really? But how can I make him understand and like me?" Qi Yaya asked dejectedly.

"Go be by his side!" Fang Anning suggested, "The pavilion closest to the water enjoys moonlight first. If you’re by his side, won’t he get to know you?"

"Be by his side?"

"Bai Yunyang is the president of Bai Group. Isn’t it easy if you want to be by his side? Find a way to apply for a job there; as time goes by, affections will naturally develop, right?"

"Yeah, Anning, you’re so smart." Qi Yaya exclaimed excitedly, clapping her hands and hugging her.

Fang Anning smiled and pushed her away.

Casually glancing at the photos again, she spotted a joint photo of Qi Yaya and Qi Wenli.

It was unclear where this photo was taken, but at that time Qi Wenli was still very young, as Qi Yaya also looked only about thirteen or fourteen. However, that painting in the background was very familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before.

"When was this photo taken?" Fang Anning pointed to the photo and asked.

Qi Yaya quickly replied, "It was taken when I was fourteen. At that time, my aunt hadn’t married Mr. He yet. Everything was still good."

"What’s with that painting in the background?" Fang Anning pointed at the photo and asked.

Qi Yaya looked and said, "That painting was done by my aunt. She used to love painting and even aspired to become an artist, but unfortunately, she never did."

"Your aunt painted this?" Fang Anning frowned.

She remembered where she had seen this painting—it was at Linda’s house that she had seen it today.

Soon, He Min came down and shook her head at Fang Anning, "I can confirm it wasn’t Yuanyuan."

"I know," said Fang Anning.

At this time, Zhao Yuanyuan also came downstairs and looked at Fang Anning, "I didn’t do what happened to you, but I will help you investigate and let you know once I have the results."

"Thank you, Mrs. Qi, but there’s no need. I already know who did it," Fang Anning said.

Zhao Yuanyuan and He Min both looked at her in surprise.

However, Fang Anning did not continue to speak and left after bidding farewell to the three of them.

When she got home, He Tingchen had already learned about her day’s experiences, his expression somber as he arrived. Upon seeing her, he immediately assessed her from head to toe.

"How is it? Are you hurt?"

"Of course not. It wouldn’t be easy for him to hit me. Instead, he got slapped twice by me," Fang Anning said proudly.

He Tingchen’s face was grim as he coldly stated, "He dared to raise his hand to you, I won’t let him off."

"By the way, what happened to him? How did he end up so destitute?" Fang Anning asked.

He Tingchen snorted coldly, "His company had been failing for a while, selling you off and getting that money didn’t save his company. It was already hanging by a thread, and then Zhou Muyan took the family finances and made the Zhou family’s situation even worse. Afterward, Zhou Zhaoguo and Chen Fengjiao started to clash. Not long ago, Chen Fengjiao ran off with her precious son, even secretly sold off the company and the house, leaving Zhou Zhaoguo all alone overnight, without even a place to stay. Someone must have found him, given him money, and that’s why he came to trouble you."

"He really... got what he deserved," Fang Anning muttered.
