She gave a slight smile, "Thanks."
An hour and a half later.
The two of them sat in an office at the Real Estate Administration Bureau. The director enthusiastically poured them tea and brought out all the documents related to the property transfer.
"Miss Yu, this courtyard house is under your name," the director said.
Shen Yao was stunned, "This courtyard house is hers?"
Wasn't it Qin Beiting's?
Damn it!
"Yes," the director nodded.
Those wicked rich people, could they not even keep track of how many houses they owned?
Yu He already knew this information in the morning, so she wasn't surprised.
Was she not poor before?
And had money to buy a courtyard house?
She took the documents and flipped through the property transfer records, intending to see when she had purchased it. To her surprise, the courtyard house was transferred to her name five years ago in June through a gift deed.
Donor: Qin Beiting.
Looking at the elegant and powerful signature on the contract, Yu He was a little dazed.
This courtyard house was a gift from Qin Beiting?!
Shen Yao was also bewildered when he saw the signature on the contract. Didn't Qin Beiting try to suppress all information about him and Yu He?
Why wasn't this contract handled?
Moreover, the date of the gift transfer... they hadn't been together for long at that time, right?
Qin Beiting had given her a courtyard house in Beijing?!
This was too incredibly generous!
He suddenly felt like he understood where he had lost.
The director suddenly sensed a tension between the two and coughed, "Uh, you two take your time looking. I have some other matters to attend to. Call me if you have any questions."
With that, he quickly left.
Only the two of them remained in the office.
In the past, Shen Yao had eagerly anticipated spending time alone with her. But at this moment, he felt as if he were sitting on pins and needles, especially when he saw Yu He looking at him with eyes that held a hint of inquiry and a larger portion of doubt, making him even more tormented.
From his guilty eyes, Yu He knew he must know something.
She placed her hand on his shoulder. Shen Yao trembled all over, feeling as if at any second, a silver needle would pierce his major artery from her fingertips.
This feeling made him feel like a fish on a chopping block, ready to be slaughtered.
He quickly pushed Yu He's hand away. "Let's talk properly. Don't get physical."
Yu He: "Tell me what you know."
"I've already told you everything I know," Shen Yao said.
Yu He gave him another look. Shen Yao shivered, feeling somewhat resigned and blurted out, "Yes, you two were indeed together before, but then you broke up. This was probably his breakup fee."
"Heh, no wonder~" Yu He couldn't help but sneer.
No wonder they were so compatible in certain aspects; no wonder Qin Xinsu harbored such strong animosity towards her.
So that was their past relationship.
But why couldn't she recall any memories of it?
What was Qin Beiting's intention now?
Did he know she had amnesia?
Was he deliberately playing with her?
And was Qin Beiting the father of Yueyue and Duoduo?
A flood of questions surged into Yu He's mind, awaiting her exploration.
"No wonder what?" Shen Yao suddenly felt her smile was a bit eerie.
"It's nothing, let's go," Yu He closed the documents and abruptly stood up.
Shen Yao stood up and followed her out, unsure of what she intended to do. "Are you still looking for a house, then?"
"Since it's my house, why would I still be looking?" Yu He retorted coldly.
Shen Yao deeply regretted bringing her here. But if he hadn't, with her capabilities, she would have discovered these things sooner or later. This was problematic!
He irritably scratched his head.

Meanwhile, at XS Group.
Public Relations Department.
Ye Zisu, along with Han Keli, the head of the Public Relations Department, and a few other senior department members, were holding a meeting.
"Third Miss, is this information you mentioned reliable?" Han Keli asked.
"Absolutely reliable! You just need to prepare the press release and public relations strategy as I've instructed, and I guarantee the group will reward you afterwards!" Ye Zisu said with certainty.
Then, she glanced at her WeChat. Just then, Alice sent another message, saying that Zuo Ye had arrived in China and had air-freighted ten sample robots, which were being transported to the venue.
She also attached some photos of the airport cargo area.
Ye Zisu shared this information with them.
They looked at it and chuckled, not forgetting to flatter Ye Zisu, "As expected of Third Miss, courageous and resourceful."
"Yes! I've long disliked Future Technology. Now, thanks to Third Miss, we can teach them a lesson and vent our anger."
"Future Technology is also too bold. They should just focus on their Western market and not try to make money in our Asian market. Do they really think our XS Group is made of jelly?"
"What's most disgusting is their company's public relations, which are no different from nightclub hostesses. If a cooperation deal can't be reached, they try to seduce Mr. Qin Qi or General Manager Qi. It's utterly sickening."
"..."
Each of the public relations staff chimed in. They were all shrewd individuals who knew Ye Zisu was favored by Mr. Qin Qi, so they naturally wanted to curry favor with her. Even though they knew their actions were violating the company's usual procedures.
But what did it matter?
It was all because Ye Zisu was favored!
"Third Miss, rest assured, we will work overtime tonight to prepare the press release in advance. Tomorrow, as soon as they arrive, we will release the press release to strike first and leave Future Technology with nowhere to hide," Han Keli led the assurance.
Seeing their passionate expressions, Ye Zisu nodded with satisfaction, as if she had already predicted Yu He and Future Technology making a fool of themselves in public the next day.
In the past, she couldn't defeat Yu He. This time, she was determined to get back everything she had lost, with interest, and make Yu He unable to survive in China ever again!
"Very good, thank you for your hard work. Remember, this matter must be handled before the press conference. Create buzz, make it an opening act for the press conference, but don't steal the spotlight from the subsequent announcements," Ye Zisu added.
The purpose of handling it before the press conference was to prevent Yu He and Qin Beiting from meeting.
"Yes."
After the meeting, Ye Zisu received the latest message from Alice: [Miss Qin, have there been any developments in drafting your contract?]
Alice: [I'm sorry, I'm not trying to rush you, it's just that Esther asked me to follow up on the contract situation, so I'm asking.]
Her tone was extremely humble, which Ye Zisu found very satisfying.
If you want to set a trap, you must have bait to lure them in.
Ye Zisu went to find the deputy general manager. She didn't dare to approach Qi Xifeng herself, so she asked the deputy director to help her create a fabricated cooperation contract with Future Technology, take a photo, and send it to Alice.
Then, she sat back and waited for the good show to unfold at the press conference tomorrow.
Upon receiving the contract from Ye Zisu, Alice immediately forwarded it to Yu He and asked, "Esther, what do we do now?"
Yu He looked at the contract full of flaws and then thought of Ye Zisu's provocative face. She replied calmly, "Let's wait and watch the show tomorrow."
