Chapter 55: 55. Proof

“Gardenia Blossoms, so beautiful, so white. This is the season when we will leave. Your shy girl, who is hard to leave, is like a wave of fragrance lingering in my heart.”

“Gardenia blossoms are so cute, waving goodbye to joy and helplessness. Time is like running water, irrigating our youth day and night. Gardenia Blossoms, gardenia blossoms, like crystal waves blooming in my heart…”

In May, when the wisteria flowers were in full bloom, He Yi sat in front of the piano, playing and singing.

The girl was at the best time of her life. Her eyes were as clear as water, and her skin could be broken with a single blow. Her singing voice was as beautiful as a lark, and her slender fingers were as slender as bamboo and as delicate as jade. She skillfully tapped the keys of the piano, and the beautiful sound of the piano and the clear singing made the man standing beside her completely intoxicated.

“He Yi, your singing voice is as beautiful as your melody!” The man praised in a low voice.

“Where is she? Isn’t she beautiful?” The girl laughed like a silver bell.

“Beautiful, very beautiful,” the man murmured. He looked at her with an intoxicated gaze, and the corners of his mouth could not help rising slightly.

Chu Tianyi was an introverted person. He was not good at expressing himself, nor was he good at sweet-talking. However, every time he listened to He Yi play the piano and sing, he could not help showing an infatuated look.

“I want to freeze this moment and seal it in my memory forever!” Chu Tianyi’s tone revealed a touch of regret and helplessness. “If only life was like the first time we met.”

He Yi raised her head and asked curiously, “When did you first meet me?”

“You were only nine years old that year when father brought me to your house as a guest and saw you playing the piano in the room… from afar, you look like a beautiful little princess in a fairy tale.” Chu Tianyi looked at her and complimented her with a smile, “You are truly pure, elegant, and noble!”

He Yi was deep in thought and smiled faintly.

Chu Tianyi seemed to have a special liking for her when she played the piano. At this time, he was no longer cold and aloof but spoke more than usual. And his only regret seemed to be that he would never see her playing the piano when she was nine years old again.

To prevent him from regretting not seeing her playing the piano again when she was twenty years old many years later, she decided to secretly do something for him, a secret that only she knew.

“Miss He, this is the most advanced new technology. It completely meets all of your requirements. 24-hour high-definition video recording, waterproof, fireproof, and lightning-proof. The extremely stealthy embedded design is perfectly integrated with the surrounding environment. The large memory card can hold 30 days of closed-circuit images, and it will never be automatically emptied or overwritten. Only when you take out the memory card and replace it with another empty memory card will it work again…”

He Yi took the miniature camera. To keep it a secret, she did not let anyone handle it. Instead, she installed it in the closet next to the piano, very close to the piano. Not only could she be recorded playing the piano, but she would never miss any sound.

As if she had a sweet little secret, He Yi looked at the camera lens excitedly with a beautiful longing. However, the sweetness and shyness on her face slowly faded away. Her clear eyes widened, and a shocking scene that she would never forget in her life materialized before her eyes:

“… your father is not dead yet, why are you so anxious to mourn for him? Stay at home obediently. You are not allowed to go anywhere!” Chu Tianyi’s face was full of malice, and his handsome face was so twisted that it made her feel strange.

“How is my father now? I want to go to the hospital to see him. Tianyi, please tell me what happened? Is the company about to go bankrupt? Why is father suspected of fraud?… All these years, you’ve been helping him manage the company’s business, why has it become like this?..” He Yi cried until her eyes were swollen and her throat was hoarse. She didn’t care how bad her health was and she had just given birth. “I heard that you were the one who reported him and that you even annexed the He Corporation. Is this true? Tell me, is this true?”

She was so depressed that she was about to go crazy. However, at this moment, she could do nothing but play the piano.

“What are you arguing about?” Chu Tianyi simply tore off the last layer of disguise, and admitted straightforwardly, “Now that the He Corporation belongs to the Chu family, don’t think that you are still a Missy. Letting you stay at home is an extra charity for you. Don’t be ungrateful!”

“You… you…” He Yi was about to go crazy. She screamed sharply, “You liar, devil, bastard! I’m going to report you! I’m going to report you!”

“Pa!” Chu Tianyi blocked her curses and screams with a slap, he became more arrogant and terrifying after being angered. “That’s right, I schemed against He Hanlin! So what? The winner becomes the king, and the loser becomes the bandit. It’s just like how my father committed suicide back then. Who knows his grievance!”

“What does your father’s suicide have to do with our He family? Don’t tell me you suspect…” He Yi suddenly understood and sucked in a breath of cold air. “You think that my father had something to do with your father’s death! So… it turns out that you have an ulterior motive for getting close to me and marrying me! First, you betrayed my father’s trust, then you schemed against his property and destroyed his life! ” Chu Tianyi, you’re so despicable, you’re worse than a beast…”

Chu Tianyi punched and kicked He Yi like he was mad, and was facing a pile of sandbags in the gym. “B *tch, you’re pregnant with an unknown bastard before you’re even married. If it wasn’t for avenging my father, why would I marry a second-hand b*tch like you? B*tch! Lecherous! Even if I killed you, it wouldn’t be terrible. I feel nauseous just looking at you every day, not to mention touching you. Finally, I’ve looked forward to the day when the old b*stard He Hanlin cuts ties. In the future, I don’t have to put on an act in front of you anymore. Listen, hurry up and sign the divorce agreement. Then, get out of this house with the bastard you gave birth to. I don’t want to see you ever again!”

He Yi was beaten almost to death and she cursed harshly, “The He family Corporation is mine, this family is mine. What right do you have to occupy the He family’s property? Chu Tianyi, how exactly did you plot against our family’s property? What right do you have to say that it’s all yours?”

Chu Tianyi finally stopped. He panted heavily, grinned hideously, and said, “Still not giving up? Let me tell you, I transferred all the money in the He Corporation’s account to a private account overseas. Then, the company’s finance director cooperated with me to put on a show and pin the crime of fraud on your father. The He Corporation is insolvent and has been sealed up for auction. I’ll use your father’s money to buy the He Corporation. What can you do?”

‘What can you do? What can you do? What can you do?’

He Yi looked at the devil in front of her and her eyes turned red.

At this moment, Chu Tianyi received a phone call. He listened to it for a while and then laughed out loud. “The good news from the hospital just came. He Hanlin died of a heart attack! Hahaha, the heavens have eyes, favorable death!”

He Yi spat out a mouthful of blood. She did not know where she got the strength to get up. She knew that she could not beat Chu Tianyi, so she rushed out without looking back.

Chu Tianyi chased after her, wanting to catch her back. But unexpectedly, she got into a car, started the engine, and slammed into him like crazy.

..

With a loud noise, the sky and earth turned upside down.

He Yi woke up in shock. She panted heavily, her whole body soaked in a cold sweat.

The sky was already bright. She pressed on her violently beating chest, still immersed in the terrible memories, unable to extricate herself. The past was unbearable to recall. From the moment she drove her car into Chu Tianyi, her world had been turned upside down, and it was no longer the same again!

Suddenly, a glimmer of inspiration flashed through her mind. The details that she had overlooked because she did not attempt to look back on the past years unexpectedly became extremely clear in front of her eyes – the closed-circuit camera in the piano room!

The hidden camera that had slept for five years had recorded the course of her and Chu Tianyi’s enmity, as well as their conversation. That was irrefutable evidence of his crime.
