Daisy saw how warm they were, realizing that married life could also be so beautiful.
Her personality from childhood was like a boy's; she had always been friends with the opposite sex, treating them like brothers, and never thought about dating or getting married.
She had planned to live alone her whole life, and financially, she could support herself. Why bother finding a man and creating trouble for herself?
But now, seeing them so happy, she also yearned for marriage. If she could meet the right person, she would want to get married too.
After dinner, Susu had the driver, Xiao Lin, take Daisy home.
Susu and Tianyi had been separated for some time, and this was a rare opportunity for them to be alone together.
They returned to the bedroom, and Tianyi proactively massaged her shoulders and neck, saying, "You must be tired from the flight. Let me help you relax."
Susu found his strength too great. It wasn't a massage; it felt like he was trying to crush her bones.
She dodged him with a smile and said, "It hurts. Can't you be gentler?"
Tianyi felt wronged. "But I'm already being gentle. I'm controlling the force."
"Forget it, I don't need your massage. I'll take a shower first." Susu got up and went to the bathroom.
Tianyi pressed his own shoulder with his hand, felt it, and muttered, "I'm not using much force. Where does it hurt?"
After Susu finished her shower, she was about to retrieve the evidence she found that Sasha had used Yang Sijie's sperm for artificial insemination.
Tianyi, however, embraced her and said, "What are you rushing off to do? Don't you miss me at all?"
"I do," Susu quickly replied, "but I need to show you the evidence we found. How should we give it to the Xie family?"
"That's too perfunctory." Tianyi wasn't eager to see the evidence; he just wanted some intimacy with her. "I've missed you so much."
Susu felt him holding her tighter and tighter, her heart racing. Feeling a bit breathless, she said, "You're annoying."
Tianyi suddenly swept her up into his arms. His warm breath brushed against her neck, and he looked at her intently, asking, "Are you annoyed, or do you want me?"
Susu didn't answer. She proactively hooked her arms around his neck and quickly kissed his cheek, giving him her answer.
Tianyi's kisses then descended upon her like a storm...
After their passionate embrace, Susu nestled against Tianyi and asked, "Are you asleep?"
Tianyi softly replied, "Not yet."
"This time, I also learned from Yang Sijie's former acquaintances that Yang Sasha first registered a hospital company, but not long ago, she deregistered it," Susu said. "According to the time she deregistered it, it was precisely after she and Xie Qining went to New York."
"It seems her purpose for going abroad with Xie Qining this time was for this."
"Yes, and I suspect that although the company was deregistered, the pharmacology laboratory should still exist. I just don't know where she moved the laboratory to, so I can't find evidence in that regard."
Tianyi pondered for a moment. "We can also use this evidence to leverage her, to make her shut down the laboratory and stay honestly in Lancheng."
"You mean, we don't tell the Xie family, and we confront Yang Sasha directly? Will that work?"
"Didn't you say she has deep feelings for Yang Sijie? Then she must care a lot about Yang Sijie's child. This child is her Achilles' heel," Tianyi added. "As for the Xie family, they are all so arrogant. They didn't even value such a good daughter-in-law as Lan Yu before. Letting Sasha continue to cause trouble in the Xie family is their own doing."
"That's true. Xie Qining and his mother are too condescending, and Xie Zhendong always likes to be superior. They deserve it." But Susu was still a little worried. "Can this evidence really control Yang Sasha? Will she come up with some new scheme?"
"She wouldn't dare. She wouldn't dare risk this child," Tianyi said with some confidence. "At least she'll be more honest with us and won't do anything detrimental to you again."
Susu sighed. "It's good if she stops. I felt like she was always targeting me, as if she thought I stole Yang Sijie back then and was deliberately seeking revenge."
"That's why we need to let her know that this huge secret of hers, besides herself, only we know. As long as we don't reveal it, her child can continue to enjoy all the favor of the Xie family. Otherwise, her child will become an outcast, despised by everyone."
"Okay, I'll go and confront her." Susu felt this was for the best.
Yang Sijie wanted her to continue his lineage, which was impossible. But by chance, Sasha did it, which was also a way to leave an heir for Yang Sijie.
After all, the child was innocent, and she didn't want this child's background to be exposed, growing up under strange glances.
If Yang Sasha could stop for the sake of this child's happiness, that would be the best solution.
Tianyi said worriedly, "You're going? What if she does something to you..."
"She's targeting me, so I have to be the one to resolve this with her. Besides, we're both women, and it might be easier to talk." Susu made up her mind. "It's most appropriate for me to talk to her."
Tianyi felt she had a point and couldn't find a reason to refute it, so he nodded.
"Once you've arranged the time and place with her, tell me. I'll still arrange for bodyguards to protect you secretly."
"Okay." Susu hugged him tightly, feeling sleepy. "Let's sleep. Goodnight."
...
When Sasha returned to Lancheng, the Xie family was in chaos.
Although Old Zhou, Zhan Jiayi, and she hadn't told Feng Rou and the old Mrs. Xie about Xie Qining's arrest, Feng Rou and the old Mrs. Xie still found out.
This indicated that among those sent abroad to discuss projects, there were people loyal to Feng Rou and the old Mrs. Xie, who reported the events happening there to them immediately.
Sasha wasn't surprised. Feng Rou's maternal family was powerful, and the old Mrs. Xie held a high status in the Xie family. Therefore, it was normal for various factions within such a family conglomerate to have their own informants and confidantes.
This was also why Xie Zhendong had asked her to return first to appease the family.
As soon as she got out of the airport, a car sent by the Xie family arrived to pick her up.
When she got into the car, she found Xie Zhendong sitting inside.
"Dad, it's all my fault for not managing Qining properly," Sasha quickly admitted tearfully.
Xie Zhendong waved his hand impatiently. "It's not your fault. Can you manage him? I see him going out early and coming back late, indulging in debauchery outside, and you've never been able to control him. I know my son. He's always been spoiled, and people outside indulge him because they know his identity, which makes him more and more lawless."
Sasha wiped her tears. "What will happen to me and the child if he goes to jail? Assistant Zhan said there's a high possibility of him going to jail."
"I know that. You don't need to worry," Xie Zhendong said. "I want to tell you that after you go back, don't make things sound too serious to your mother-in-law and the old Mrs. Try to comfort them. At this time, we can't let them make decisions on their own to hire a legal team abroad and make a big fuss."
"Okay, I understand," Sasha readily agreed. "I'll comfort them."
