Chapter 160: Chapter 159: Best Substitute (End) - Third Update

Liao Yizhou’s words struck Zhao Yijun like a fierce slap across her face.

What baffled Zhao Yijun was not just Liao Yizhou’s harsh words, but also the fact that Pu Zhehan, who had always stood by her side, didn’t speak up for her this time.

"Zhehan, why have you changed like this? Have you also been bewitched by that woman?"

"Yijun, do you know why Yizhou has always been protective of you since we were young?" Pu Zhehan looked at Zhao Yijun with a complex expression on his face. "In his entire life, he has compromised for you and you alone."

"Of course, I know." Zhao Yijun thought about this and still felt a bit smug under the presumption that it was because Liao Yizhou liked her.

"No, you don’t know," Pu Zhehan shook his head. "You weren’t there during the kidnapping incident, so you don’t know. There was someone who ran, and that person was Ye Shaohua. But she didn’t run away; she did it to lure the two kidnappers away to save us. Someone in Society had called the police. The kidnappers were strapped with bombs, and she alone drew them all away, claiming she could run faster than the rest of us."

"How ironic, back then, we were older than her, but we were not as clear-headed as she was. In the end, they found her in a mountain ravine. If it hadn’t been for her, we might have never left that place. At the time, you had just gone abroad to recuperate. We all thought she was you, and that is why Yizhou has always made compromises for you."

Pu Zhehan now understood the feelings of Liao Yizhou very well. He didn’t know whether Ye Shaohua had recognized them or not.

He even secretly prayed that Ye Shaohua had not recognized him.

When he heard Liao Yizhou’s words, he even called to confront Liao Yizhou, but he didn’t expect to hear such news. Pu Zhehan felt as if his blood had frozen.

His mind kept replaying everything from the past few months, including how Ye Shaohua looked at him with unfamiliar eyes in that villa that day.

Pu Zhehan panicked. Did she... recognize him a long time ago?

"So now, you should be begging Yizhou not to lay a hand on you." Pu Zhehan gave Zhao Yijun a deep look before leaving her behind.

Zhao Yijun collapsed into a chair, feeling a chill all over her body, realizing that she had made the worst decision possible.

The Zhao Family faded as quickly as it had risen to prominence, with the old master Zhao and his wife filled with regret. If they had known how ruthless Ye Shaohua’s tactics were, they would never have dared to try to suppress her or force Ye Dongxiang out.

Accustomed to luxury, none of them could bear hardship. They all sought Ye Shaohua for mercy, but none even got a glimpse of her face.

Especially old master Zhao, who regretted not becoming the richest grandfather even more when he thought about it.

Zhao Yijun had interviewed at other companies, but they all knew she had a feud with Ye Shaohua, and with Liao Yizhou working against her from the shadows, who would dare to hire her?

Having hit wall after wall, the Ye Family had no choice but to move out of the villa due to debts.

Because of what Liao Yizhou had said, everyone knew Ye Shaohua was not the homewrecker; instead, it was Zhao Yijun who harbored ill intentions. Some wealthy individuals, seeing Zhao Yijun’s beauty, were willing to flirt with her and provide for her needs.

Many times, Zhao Yijun ended up with a scratched face after being caught by the legitimate wives.

Today, she was caught again, and several women kicked her, forcing her to protect her head in rage, only to look up and see a billboard featuring Ye Shaohua.

There she was, Ye Shaohua, untouchable and high above, while Zhao Yijun had become a rat crossing the street that everyone shouted to kill.

Liao Yizhou’s Yongteng weathered the storm without significant disturbance. Although the company was nowhere near its former size, he didn’t care anymore, knowing that Ye Shaohua had spared him because he once lent her two hundred thousand.

Standing in the International Finance Center, he knew Ye Shaohua was due there for an auction today. He waited absentmindedly for her arrival.

Suddenly, alarm bells rang from the floors above.

"President Liao, quick, get out, there’s a fire upstairs!" He was hustled away from the burning financial tower by the crowd.

The fire on the tower intensified, and there were still a few people trapped inside. Firefighters controlled the crowd, not letting anyone near the blaze, and not even the late-arriving firefighters dared to enter.

Liao Yizhou saw some people crying, all had kin who didn’t make it out.

He also spotted a wealthy lady sobbing; he recognized her as Ji Yunchen’s mother. Could he be inside as well?

"Wait, lady, you can’t go in there, the fire is out of control now!"

"Move aside, let me through."

Hearing the familiar voice, Liao Yizhou looked stunned in that direction. To be honest, ever since he met her, Ye Shaohua had always seemed composed, and this was the first time he saw her breathless like this.

She broke free from two firefighters, covered herself with a wet cloth, and charged into the raging blaze.

Liao Yizhou watched her retreating figure and suddenly remembered this was Ye Shaohua. At the age of five, she had bravely lured away those kidnappers. She had always been like that, never speaking much about those who treated her well, but always keeping them close to her heart.

In the end, nobody expected her to walk out of the raging inferno carrying the unconscious Ji Yunchen on her back. Ji’s mother would remember the horrific scene for years, often waking up from nightmares.

Ye Shaohua died, to no one’s surprise. What surprised everyone was that Ji Yunchen survived.

After being resuscitated over three days and nights, he finally pulled through.

When he awoke, he didn’t speak nor inquire about Ye Shaohua. Even Ji’s mother found it odd. He just turned away everyone and stayed alone in the ward for three days.

Three days later, he emerged as the decisive Ji Yunchen once again.

The Zhao Family, once hopeful for a resurgence with the death of Ye Shaohua, were mercilessly crushed by him.

From then on, everyone in the Mall learned a new rule: you could provoke Ji Yunchen, even disrespect the Ji Family, but Ji Yunchen’s bottom line was the Ye Family.

Many visited the tombstone of the mythical Ye Shaohua.

The inscription was simple—

Singular Heroine Ye Shaohua.

It’s said that Ji Yunchen had the inscription changed later on.

Those people noticed an empty grave next to it, with an inscription—

Lone Courage Ji Yunchen.
