Chapter 89: Chess Pieces Dancing on the Board

He Huai retracted his gaze, picked up the coffee and took a sip, and tried to speak as peacefully as possible, "He Ci has been released from the detention center."

She paused and subconsciously clenched her fists, "Is he okay now?"

He Huai couldn't stop sneering, "You are worried about whether he is okay now, so why did you provoke him in the first place?"

Wen Ruoci was silent for a while, then pursed her lips and said, "Master He, if you just wanted to scold me today, you don't have to be so roundabout."

He Huai was too lazy to continue looking at the woman who poked his eyes, nor was he too lazy to continue beating around the bush with her, "He's fine, but he doesn't want to divorce you."

She was puzzled. "So why did you come to me? If he disagrees, you should talk to him. Why did you come to me? Do you still think I can convince him to divorce me?"

If He Ci was really willing to listen to her, they would have separated peacefully long ago, and there would not have been such a mess now.

He Huai finished the coffee in the cup before he raised his eyelids and looked at her. "Of course I know he won't listen to you so easily. I came to you because I hope you can do something to make him hate you even more, give up on you completely, and then divorce you."

Hearing this, Wen Ruoci frowned.

"Can I ask you a question?"

He Huai curled his lips and asked indifferently, "Do you want to ask if I had done anything when you and Pei Yan were lying together?"

Wen Ruoci nodded, "Is that right?"

He Huai said disdainfully, "It's been so many years since the incident, why do you still care so much? Do you think that if you hadn't had that incident back then, you could have lived happily with He Ci?"

Wen Ruoci resisted the urge to throw the cup over, "At least my separation from him doesn't have to be as tragic as today."

He Huai looked at her silently. After a long while, he slowly said, "Yes, I did it. Your existence really had a huge impact on him. He lost himself and became a slave to a feeling called liking you. I don't want to see him like this, and he shouldn't be like this. So, I must separate you."

Wen Ruoci gave a bitter smile.

That's indeed the case...

She closed her eyes, and a layer of mist unconsciously appeared in her eyes.

He waited until the mist in his eyes dissipated before opening his eyes again.

"Aren't you worried that if I really did this, it would make He Ci even more miserable and desperate?"

He Huai said calmly, "A piece of rotten meat will always be painful when it is first infected, especially now that He Ci has been infected for too long. If you want to completely remove it, you have to be ruthless. Even if he is in pain, it is only temporary. After a long time, he will eventually forget it.

What's more, what happened back then was just an accident. If I hadn't suddenly turned into a vegetable and He Ci hadn't had to support the He Group, how could he have been under such great pressure?

You should know very well that when a person is under too much pressure, he always needs an outlet. If he insists on marrying you, it is just because he needs an outlet, not necessarily because he is obsessed with you. "

Wen Ruoci was silent for a long time before she spoke.
"Since you have thought it through so clearly, I have no reason to refuse. I can do it, but I have one condition."

He Huai asked casually, "What are the conditions?"

"Yunding Group has a project. I hope you, Master He, can take it away. Even if you can't take it away, you can at least disrupt it."

He Huai laughed directly, "This is your true purpose, right? You approached He Ci in the first place just to deal with Yunding Group. I'm curious, how many chess pieces are dancing on your chessboard? Is He Ci... one of them?"

She denied it without a second thought, "He's not."

"Whether you believe it or not, I really never thought of putting him on my chessboard. If I really wanted to treat him as a chess piece, then there was no need for me to take the initiative to break up with him in the first place."

To her, He Ci was like family, and she never wanted to hurt him.

He Huai sneered, neither saying whether he believed it nor whether he didn't believe it.

"This deal is just a project, it won't hurt anything, but between you and He Ci, I hope you can resolve it as soon as possible."

Wen Ruoci stood up slowly and said, "I will do it as soon as possible. I hope... Master He, you will not regret asking me to do this today."

Before she was about to leave, she seemed to remember something, turned around and looked at He Huai, and said lightly,

“Just now you said whether He Ci was a chess piece dancing on my chessboard. He has never been one, but you have always been one.”

After saying that, he left without even looking at He Huai's reaction.

He Huai paused for a long moment, as if he remembered something, and suddenly laughed.

this woman.

It turns out that he has never been a good person.

Wen Ruoci came out of the coffee shop. Bai Yu, who was sitting on the stairs chewing a lollipop, suddenly handed her a piece of paper. She turned around, lowered her eyes and looked at him, and asked curiously, "Why did you give me a tissue?"

Bai Yu bit the lollipop and said, "Because I thought you looked like you were about to cry."

She didn't blink, controlled her breathing, and looked at him motionlessly, "I'm not crying..."

His ears were very sharp and he heard clearly everything they said just now.

Although he really didn't understand, Brother Shijin said that he just needed to protect her and he didn't need to worry about other things.

"Okay, since you said you didn't cry, then don't cry."

As he said this, he took the tissue back.

She looked up at the sun, which had been covered by dark clouds at some point. It was gloomy and seemed as if she could not see any light. She thought to herself, the game will start soon...

........................

Zhou Ying didn't know why Wen Ruoci suddenly asked her out.

He Ci hasn't contacted her for a long time.

The woman who is with He Ci every day is Zhuang Wenjun.

Even if Wen Ruoci really wanted to act like the main wife, she should have gone to find Zhuang Wenjun. Why did she come to her?
She accepted the appointment with some trepidation.

"Miss Wen..."

Just after she said three words, Wen Ruoci took out a stack of information from her handbag and said, "Ms. Zhou, why don't you take a look at this before you speak?"

Zhou Ying took it suspiciously, looked down, and her face gradually turned pale.

"You have a face that looks 30% like mine, and you always appear elegant, well-mannered, and versatile. You are considered a goddess in many people's minds. Your reputation is better than mine, but I never expected that what you did would be even more excessive and bizarre than mine. It really makes me look at you with new eyes..."

Wen Ruoci added some milk to the coffee. "But it's not surprising. After all, in the entertainment industry, who doesn't want to be more popular? You probably don't want to have my name in front of yours for the rest of your life, right?"

Zhou Ying put down the information and looked at her steadily, "What do you want?"

If this information were leaked, she would definitely be ruined, but Wen Ruoci chose not to reveal it, but came to find her instead. She must have other purposes.

So, she calmed down.

"what on earth do you want?"

Wen Ruoci smiled slightly, "I hope to cooperate with Miss Zhou once. If you can complete all of this smoothly, I can give you a chance to play the leading role in a movie invested by Star Phoenix."

Zhou Ying frowned, "What do you want me to do?"

Wen Ruoci whispered a few words in her ear.

After hearing this, Zhou Ying was horrified, "He Ci will completely ban me if he finds out."

Wen Ruoci said calmly, "Opportunities and dangers coexist in this world. I don't mean to force you. Anyway, you should think clearly whether you want to do this or not."

Zhou Ying was very tempted by the conditions proposed by Wen Ruoci, especially since she really liked He Ci, she also wanted to do this...

But she was more afraid of the outcome of this matter.

She couldn't imagine how He Ci would deal with her if he knew.

Maybe……

She'll die.

Wen Ruoci did not force her, "I just said, think about it carefully, whether you want to do this or not, and call me when you have made up your mind."

Before she was about to leave, Zhou Ying stopped her.

"and many more--"

Wen Ruoci looked back at her, "Anything else?"

Zhou Ying stared at Wen Ruoci's flawless face and asked, "Why don't you ask Zhuang Wenjun to cooperate with you, but have to find me?"

Wen Ruoci looked at her, smiled faintly, and gave her an answer, "Because there are too many uncertain factors about Zhuang Wenjun, and if you want to gamble, you only have this one chance. If you succeed, you can get promoted, but if you fail, you can completely put all the responsibility on me. You won't lose anyway."

Zhou Ying wanted to open her mouth to refute, but in the end she just pursed her lips and said nothing.
