What Is Your Intention?

He Yi's paths were blocked and she was in a desperate situation. Determined, she pulled Wan Wan into the booth. She was prepared for a fight but she did not expect her enemy to be that powerful.

There was a huge round table in the booth with three families equivalent to ten people seated there, Wan Wan not included. Not to mention, most of the people there were He Yi's enemies!

He Yi's nemeses Chu Tianyi, his sister Chu Chu, and Su Anqi were seated on the seats of honor whereas Su Anqi's mother Su Yuzhi and her stepfather Yi Xianzong were seated at the left of the seat of honor. Besides, Chu Tianyi's aunt Chu Piaoyun and Chu Piaoyun's children, Chu Tianyi's cousins Fang Yu and Fang Yuan were seated on the right.

Two boys, Yang Yang and Ke Ke were chasing each other around joyfully instead of sitting still in the booth.

Su Anqi was complaining about how spoiled and inconsiderate Wan Wan was to the guests at the moment. "She has an attitude despite her young age. She is exceptionally fussy and eccentric, exactly like her mother! She acted all pitiful around Tianyi but she showed her attitude to me! She only likes to fool around and she doesn't like to study. She even slacked on her piano lessons that Tianyi prioritized! Sigh, being a stepmom is hard. I don't know what to do with her!"

Chu Chu curled her lips and scorned with displease. "It's fine if she's just lazy, I can't believe that she hit others! She didn't just hit her own brother, she even hit her uncle! She isn't aware of her position at all! It's all Tianyi's fault for spoiling her!"

Su Yuzhi chuckled hurriedly and said pretentiously, "Forget it, she's a child! There's no use to fuss over it!"

Despite her words, she did not mention forgiving Wan Wan, nor did she suggest allowing Wan Wan who was standing outside the booth to return to eat.

Chu Piaoyun gazed around sternly before ordering her nephew, "Wan Wan is turning more and more like He Yi! She's just unlikeable! You should stop taking her to events like these!"

The others expressed their agreement but Chu Tianyi did not reply. Then, Fang Yuan was heard busy with a phone call.

"Hello, Brother Liang… You promised to come, how could you bail? Everyone is waiting for you here! Hurry!... The Ping An Booth on the seventh floor of Guibin Hotel… I'll be waiting for you, you have to come!" 19 years old Fang Yuan got into a famous university in Yun City last autumn and she was in the best years of her life. She was extremely likable with her sweet appearance and endearing voice.

There was no way that "Brother Liang" on the other end of the call would be tough enough to reject her enthusiastic invitation and he would definitely show up on time.

As expected, Fang Yuan smiled with satisfaction. "Really? You're the best! I'll be waiting, love you!" It seemed like he agreed to show up as soon as he could.

Fang Yuan hung up the call with satisfaction before looking up to notice He Yi who was standing right in front of her with Wan Wan in her hand. She got a shock and almost dropped her phone onto the ground.

He Yi entered silently and she heard everyone's conversations clearly. She had no idea about Wan Wan's life with Chu Tianyi previously but based on his relatives' attitude toward Wan Wan, she could tell how lonely, helpless, and attention-deprived she was throughout the years.

She could feel her heart getting torn cruelly and yet she could only force herself to breathe to calm her raging emotions. She would never repeat her stupid past mistakes by acting impulsively after paying the price of five years imprisonment.

"Chu Tianyi, please return Wan Wan to me if you can't make yourself care for her and provide her an optimum environment to grow up!" He Yi ignored the others at the table and went to Chu Tianyi directly.

Wan Wan was not Chu Tianyi's biological child. However, he never disclosed it to the public, or else the women's discussion would not be as simple as criticizing Wan Wan's character. They would have called her a bastard.

In consideration of Wan Wan's growth and environment, He Yi could not disclose it to the public either. She could only ask Chu Tianyi to let her take Wan Wan with her.

The crowd was unsure of how to react to He Yi's sudden appearance. They only stared at her in silence.

Chu Tianyi stared at He Yi coldly but he did not reply. Instead, he turned to Wan Wan and shouted sternly, "Wan Wan, here!"

Wan Wan's tiny figure jolted before she struggled her hand free instinctively from He Yi's. Then, she started walking toward Chu Tianyi timidly but without any hesitation.

"Wan Wan, don't go to him!" He Yi grabbed Wan Wan's hand hurriedly and tried to stop her. "He's abusing you! Don't return to him, go with me instead!"

However, Wan Wan freed herself from He Yi firmly and ran into Chu Tianyi's arms. She hugged Chu Tianyi's legs and announced in a weak tone, "I don't want to leave dad! Dad isn't abusing me!"

He Yi was frustrated. Five years was long enough to form a distance between her and her child. Like the sky and the sea seemingly divided apart just by one line, she was actually way out of reach.

The women finally recovered from their daze from He Yi's sudden appearance. They switched their target to He Yi and started attacking her.

"He Yi, why are you challenging Tianyi and Wan Wan's relationship once you show up? What is your intention?" Su Anqi was the first to attack!

Chu Chu was next. "Who agreed to release this troublemaker? That's sin! Why aren't they letting her die in prison?"

Fang Yuan's expressive eyes bulged as she pretended to be shocked. "So, this must be He Yi! She is indeed one to stir up trouble and she's not easy to be dealt with!"

As the eldest there, Su Yuzhi was never as straightforward as the others. However, even her words were ruthless this time. "The child is innocent regardless of your resentment with Tianyi. It is wrong to criticize a father in front of his child. I can see that the young lady of the He family doesn't know manners. Hehe!"

He Yi chuckled dryly before shooting Su Yuzhi an icy glare, her reply was just as ruthless, "Your son is the blue-eyed boy and yet my daughter is treated like trash! What gives you the right to chase her out of the door to starve? You mentioned that he hit your son, but how could she, a younger and shorter girl, beat him? Do you see others as idiots? You are clearly picking sides, is this how an adult should act? You don't know manners, either!"

The crowd stared at He Yi as if she was a madwoman and gasped with disbelief as they did not understand how she got the audacity to provoke so many people with high social status when she just completed her sentencing.

Deciding to go all-in, He Yi turned to Wan Wan and asked, "Wan Wan, tell me why did you hit Yang Yang. Did he bully you first?"

Yang Yang, the son of Su Yuzhi and Yi Xianzong, was spoiled to become arrogant and bossy as he was conceived at a later period of time. He was three years elder than Wan Wan and he was large in size. Those with functioning eyes would clearly see that there was no way that he got bullied by the skinny and weak Wan Wan.

Teary-eyed Wan Wan began sobbing. Someone finally asked about her wrongness, although she was just a total stranger. However, she could tell that everyone present repulsed the woman the way they disliked her so she did not know how to tell her story.

"That's enough!" Chu Piaoyun who had been silent finally voiced in a stern tone. "Who allowed this crazy woman to enter?"

They did not bring their bodyguards with them as it was a family dinner, not to mention Guibin Hotel was supposedly Chu Tianyi's. He Yi would not have entered so easily if they had their bodyguards around.

The waiters' expressions changed from fear as they were well aware that the "queen" of Wan Fang Group was no joke. Not serving her to her satisfaction would bring more punishment than just losing their jobs.

"Miss, please leave! You are not welcomed by our guests." An observant waiter moved forward hurriedly to get He Yi to leave.

"There's no need! I am going to leave right after I ask Young Master Chu a question!" He Yi threw her icy glare on Chu Tianyi once again.

Chu Tianyi squinted his eyes and scoffed coldly, "I have nothing to say to you! You better stop bothering me or else…"

One could imagine the consequence.

"I never wanted to bother you, you were the one who provoked me first!" He Yi pushed the booth door open with force and the two men in black who were eavesdropping appeared within the crowd's vision instantly. He Yi pointed at the two exposed men as she snapped at Chu Tianyi, "You hired them to tail me! What is your intention?"
