After the divorce, the CEO forced me to have his child.

Chapter 395 Everything, Just for Her

Tan Mingjun's expression was solemn, and he asked in a serious tone, "You still love Gu Zhiyao, don't you? And you love her very, very much? You can't let her go at all?"

Yifei didn't expect his father to ask that question.

His family knew about his feelings for Gu Zhiyao; his mother even had a heated argument with him about it. But his father never talked to him about these things directly.

What do you mean by asking this now?

How should he answer?

Tan Mingjun, having spent many years in officialdom, or perhaps knowing his son well enough, vaguely guessed what his son was thinking and said, "You don't need to think so much. You can speak your mind. Don't worry, this won't be the basis for whether I help Gu Zhiyao or not."

"Yes, Dad, I love her very much. I have thought about letting her go, but I really can't do it because she is too wonderful. Moreover, seeing her being bullied by Zheng Yuanxi time and time again, seeing her so pitiful, makes it even harder for me to let go!" Yifei said truthfully.

Tan Mingjun closed his eyes briefly, his breathing becoming rapid.

Yifei continued, "Dad, please help me, okay? Or, how can you help me? Let's not even talk about how Zheng Yuanxi deserves to die. If she gets away with it again, she'll definitely continue to hurt Gu Zhiyao. If something happens to Chenchen and Niuniu, or if something happens to Gu Zhiyao, won't your conscience bother you? Dad..."

Tan Mingjun remained silent.

"Do you need to discuss any conditions with me? Didn't you want me to go into politics? If I agree to your request, can you help me? Dad, let's make a deal. You bring Zheng Yuanxi to justice, and I'll come back to take the civil service exam and follow the path you've planned for me, okay? Dad!"

Tan Mingjun was utterly shocked, and his body trembled almost imperceptibly!

He stared at his son, unable to believe what he had just heard.

Having reached this position, he naturally hopes that someone will inherit his career and ambitions. His son is the best candidate. He can pass on his life's experience and skills to his son, guide him on how to go in the future, and help him go higher and further than himself.

But his son had never been interested in it since he was a child. When he was 13, his son made it clear to him that he hated being an official. He gave a lot of reasons that were hard to refute, saying that if he were to become an official, he would rather be a beggar in the future!

You can't imagine the resolve of a thirteen-year-old boy when he said those words.

But now, his son is telling him that he is willing to become an official and will follow his guidance in the future. Shouldn't he be surprised and happy?

In fact, he wasn't happy at all!

"dad……"

“Yifei, I can agree to help you, but Dad, there’s one more condition,” Tan Mingjun said.

"Okay, you say."

"Promise me you won't have any further involvement with Gu Zhiyao. Even if you have the chance, you can't be with her, and you can't marry her. Can you do that? If you can, I'll help you!" Tan Mingjun said decisively.

Yifei's expression changed drastically, and his body swayed violently.

He stared intently at his father's cold and resolute expression, feeling as if he had been pushed into an abyss.

Previously, he thought Gu Zhiyao and Xiao Lin were a couple. He didn't want to ruin her life, so he tried his best to suppress his feelings and didn't dare to bother her. Later, he learned that they were just a fake couple. In particular, Xiao Lin's older brother encouraged him to pursue Gu Zhiyao. To be honest, he was moved and also held onto a dream that one day he could win Gu Zhiyao's heart, marry her, and cherish her for the rest of his life.

"Yifei? Well, can you agree to the request I just made?" His father's voice rang out again.

Yifei stared blankly at his father, his heart filled with painful struggle.

Just then, the silence was broken by the ringing of a cell phone.

It was Tan Mingjun's phone. He glanced at the caller ID and said to Yifei, "I'll go to my study to take this call. Think about this matter carefully, and it's not too late to give me an answer in a few days."

After saying that, Tan Mingjun walked towards the study. Yifei watched him go, then suddenly rushed up to him, "Dad, I promise you, as long as you bring Zheng Yuanxi to justice, I promise you that I will never have any relationship with Gu Zhiyao again, and I will never marry her! But you must make sure that Zheng Yuanxi gets the punishment she deserves, and that she spends the rest of her life in prison!"

Tan Mingjun stopped and looked back at his son, his heart heavy as if a mountain were pressing down on him. Then he nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. I will do as you wish."

Tan Mingjun answered the phone and started walking towards the study again.

Yifei breathed a sigh of relief and leaned against the wall beside him, a faint look of satisfaction on his handsome face.

He couldn't wait to tell Gu Zhiyao the good news.

Gu Zhiyao was stunned upon hearing this. After a moment, she said, "Yifei, you don't need to do this. You don't need to trouble your father..."

“Zhiyao, you want me to help you? Besides, this is also my father’s duty. As an official, his job is to rid the people of evil and seek justice for them!” Yifei said.

Gu Zhiyao was still deeply shaken.

That's what they say, but the relationships involved are complicated. Besides, even if we're talking about responsibilities, Yifei's father is from the provincial level, but he wasn't directly in charge of this case.

“Zhiyao, please don’t refuse me. I really want to help you. Given Zheng Yuanxi’s personality, she will definitely not give up. For your safety, Chenchen’s safety, and Niuniu’s safety, we must strike first and lock Zheng Yuanxi in jail so that she can no longer do evil. Only in this way can we solve the problem once and for all!” Yifei continued.

"Okay, I understand, Yifei, thank you! Really, thank you so much. Also, please thank your father for me. If you encounter any problems along the way and things don't go smoothly, remember to tell me anytime. I won't blame you, absolutely not." Gu Zhiyao finally accepted this kindness, her voice choked with emotion.

"Okay, Zhiyao, you're welcome. Thank you too!" Yifei breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

Gu Zhiyao was even more moved. They chatted for a while longer before ending the call.

Then Gu Zhiyao immediately told Lin Yu about these circumstances.

Lin Yu was equally shocked. "Yi Fei really said that? If his father is involved, then it's a sure thing. And I think that since Yi Fei has mobilized his father, it must be enough to get Zheng Yuanxi convicted. It seems that Zheng Yuanxi can wash her hands of the matter and go to jail!"

Gu Zhiyao remained silent, her expression still somewhat sad.

Lin Yu continued, "Do you feel troubled or indebted to Yifei? Well, he's such a good person. You should really consider him. First of all, he's so good to you. Marrying him would be your blessing. Secondly, you can also repay him for his help, right?"

"But I don't love him, and I don't know if I'll be able to love him in the future," Gu Zhiyao murmured in anguish.
