Chapter 342: Chapter 342: Pull out one, and Zhou Lin will be able to catch you.

He Ye had driven Yu Shuhua home, and on the ride, Yu Shuhua said, "I know you’re angry, but Xiao Ye, I did it for your own good. Cheng Zhiwei is not a good person at all. She’s only with you now because you’re still of use to her, and once her career is stable, she will definitely kick you to the curb."

"Mom, please stop talking. I just want to ask you one thing: Did sister tell you to do this?" He asked decisively, filled with a cold tone.

Yu Shuhua felt very wronged. He Ye had never spoken to her in this tone before, and it was all because of Cheng Zhiwei.

She was also angry and said petulantly, "Your sister wants to form a marital alliance with the Zhou Family, and you just happen to like that woman. Isn’t that perfect?"

He Ye felt extremely depressed. His relationship with Cheng Zhiwei was purely based on genuine feelings, and it was their mutual love of music that brought them together—there weren’t so many interests entangled.

"I’ve said it before, don’t meddle with that matter," He Ye said even more sternly. "If she wants to join forces with the Zhou Family, let her fight for it with her own abilities."

"She’s your sister."

He Ye was left speechless. He had a significant disagreement with Yu Shuhua on this matter. In wealthy and powerful families, familial affection was the thinnest, and the only reason he still felt a sibling connection with He Mingzhu was that he never fought with her over the inheritance.

After sending Yu Shuhua home, He Ye went to look for He Mingzhu.

He Mingzhu wasn’t surprised to see him. She let her secretary leave and then greeted him with a smile, "Why has Xiao Ye come around?"

Having calmed down a bit, He Ye asked indifferently, "How are you and Zhou Lin doing?"

A look of helplessness crossed He Mingzhu’s delicate face, "Why are you suddenly asking about this?"

"Zhou Lin is a person who only thinks of himself; nobody else can influence him. If you want to get close to him, figure it out yourself, don’t use Zhiwei."

Realization dawned on He Mingzhu, her eyebrows twitched and she lifted her lips in a smile that was not quite a smile, "Xiao Ye, are you here to take up her cause?"

"I just hope you know that Zhiwei and he have nothing to do with each other anymore."

"If they really had nothing to do with each other anymore, then why won’t she agree to marry you and leave this place?" He Mingzhu’s expression faded slightly, her tone somewhat resigned, "My dear brother, ask your heart, have she and Zhou Lin really become strangers to each other?"

He Ye felt a lump in his throat and fell silent.

He Mingzhu curved her lips upward, knowing how blind emotions could be. She continued, "Xiao Ye, take a look at this."

She handed him the document folder from the table, speaking with resignation, "I hadn’t planned to show you this, but seeing how you are for her, I think it’s better that you take a look."

He Ye took out the contents, and at first glance, he recognized the photo he had seen before; it had been promptly taken away by He Mingzhu at that time.

Now he realized that the folder contained more than just that one picture; there were many photos of Cheng Zhiwei and Zhou Lin together.

One of the photos was from when they were at the police station, the time when Cheng Zhiwei cried so hard.

There were also several other papers in the folder. He Ye skimmed through them, becoming completely stunned.

He Mingzhu sighed beside him, her tone leisurely, "You see, she didn’t tell you something this important but only went to Zhou Lin. Can you still say that she has nothing to do with Zhou Lin?"

"The third child?" He Ye muttered incredulously, looking over the content again.

"Yes, the third child." He Mingzhu whispered persuasively, "Xiao Ye, as long as a woman isn’t married, she has the power to entangle with other men."

"You think I only want to form an alliance with Zhou Lin, but I’m really doing it for your own good."

"You’re looking for that child, too?" He Ye suddenly asked.

He Mingzhu was taken aback for a moment and then explained, "I just know about it."

She was searching, but there was no need to tell He Ye that.

"Without her consent, you can’t interfere with this matter." He Ye closed the folder without any intention of returning it to He Mingzhu.

He Mingzhu was taken aback. This was not what she had expected. She had thought that once He Ye knew about this, he would blame Cheng Zhiwei for preferring to go to Zhou Lin instead of to him, and he would be angry.

But, to her surprise, he was still defending Cheng Zhiwei.

He Mingzhu barely managed to keep her composure, feeling for the first time that He Ye might be sick.

"Xiao Ye, I know you’re angry, but I only wanted to help you."

"Sis, this is her business."

His words sounded somewhat heartless, but upon closer consideration, he was actually protecting Cheng Zhiwei.

"Xiao Ye, do you think I would use this situation to harm her?" He Mingzhu laughed angrily, "You really are, your mom was right, you’ve been completely charmed by Cheng Zhiwei."

"I’ll make my own decisions about my affairs, I’m leaving now." He Ye grabbed the document bag and hurriedly left.

He Mingzhu’s face immediately darkened. She thought that once He Ye knew about this, he would have at least made a fuss with Cheng Zhiwei and forced her to marry.

But He Ye actually turned against her because of this.

No wonder Zhou Lin couldn’t let go of Cheng Zhiwei.

She really did have the ability to attract men’s hearts and minds.

Frustrated, she made a cold call to Seo Zhenzhen, "When exactly do you plan on making your move?"

She was fed up with Cheng Zhiwei, a plain woman who still managed to keep Zhou Lin from letting go.

Now even He Ye was protecting her.

Seo Zhenzhen’s sneer came through the phone, "Miss He, what’s the rush?"

While she spoke, she inserted her card into the ATM and then keyed in the PIN.

A cold, mechanical female voice sounded on the phone.

He Mingzhu’s face changed instantly, "Seo Zhenzhen, what are you doing?"

"Withdrawing money."

"Where did you get the money from?"

"My son gave me his card," Seo Zhenzhen boasted proudly, "My son is the inheritor of the Zhou Family fortune, he has plenty of money."

He Mingzhu realized what was happening, her voice changed, "Withdraw money? Get out of there right now."

Seo Zhenzhen felt aggrieved, "What’s it to you."

He Mingzhu became so angry she looked distorted and thought if Seo Zhenzhen were there, she would have definitely slapped this idiot hard.

"Zhou Ruoki is so young, whose card does he have? That’s the Zhou Family’s card. Every time you swipe it, someone will get a transaction alert; are you insane, going there yourself."

Seo Zhenzhen immediately realized, staring at the ATM in front of her, which had already displayed the balance.

That string of zeros was very enticing.

She wished she could withdraw all the money.

If she had that sum, she could actually leave Yucheng and escape the control of those people.

He Mingzhu, as if knowing what she was thinking, said sternly and quickly, "Do you believe that if you take out even one note, Zhou Lin will catch you?"

Seo Zhenzhen’s hand, which had been reaching out, trembled and withdrew.

She knew Zhou Lin had the means to do it.

"Idiot, get the hell away from there," He Mingzhu cursed, and at the same time hung up the phone, ordering her secretary to arrange for someone to pick up Seo Zhenzhen.
