Chapter 274 Cooperation
"Let's go, Mom and Dad are waiting for you in the ward." Yun Yun gave her a "good luck" look. Yun Zhi thought about the scene of being interrogated by three people later, and gave a dry laugh. She subconsciously took a step back. "Brother... I, I'll tell Shu Yan and then I'll go back to the ward."
After Yunzhi finished speaking, she turned to run away, but Yunyun grabbed her hand and said, "No need, I'll go talk to him."
"Brother, you don't need to trouble yourself." Yunzhi didn't know how to face her parents. She subconsciously tried to break free from Yunyun's hand. Just then, Yunyun gasped. Yunzhi, who had just turned around, stopped in her tracks. When she turned around, she saw Yunyun half-squatting down, clutching his elbow in pain.
"Brother!" Yunzhi's expression changed. She half-squatted down and looked at Yunyun anxiously. "Does your arm hurt? Has the wound reopened? I'll go find a doctor."
Yun Yun's arm injury was inflicted while saving her.
"No need, it just hurt a little." After a while, Yun Yun looked up and smiled reassuringly at Yun Zhi. "Your parents are waiting for you in your hospital room. They've been very worried about you since they found out about your accident. Go and keep them company."
Yunzhi nodded with red eyes, "Okay, brother, I'll go back now."
Yunzhi turned around and went into her ward, glancing back every few steps. The moment the ward door closed, Yunyun, who had just been half-squatting down, stood up and walked towards Cheng Shuyan's ward.
the other side.
Exhausted, Old Master Cheng returned to the Cheng family's old residence.
Upon receiving the news, Cheng Huaiyou and Cheng Chuyu immediately went to the old man's place to make their presence known. The two met at the entrance of the old house. Originally, their relationship was quite good, but that was on the premise that there was no conflict of interest. However, now that they had the same goal, which was to get more things from the old man, they looked at each other with disdain.
“A married daughter is like water spilled from a cup. Don’t you think you’re coming home a little too often? Or is your good-for-nothing husband going to invest in some project again? If you ask me, you should just give up now. He’s losing over a hundred million a year. Even if our Cheng family is big and powerful, we can’t afford to lose that much.” Cheng Huaiyou crossed his arms and looked at Cheng Chuyu with disdain.
Cheng Chuyu's expression changed. Although she looked down on this and that, she truly loved her husband and couldn't stand anyone saying anything about him. She was a complete love-struck fool. "Instead of worrying about me, you should worry about what will happen if your messy affairs outside are exposed."
“You!” Cheng Huaiyou glared at Cheng Chuyu.
Their eyes met, sparking a fierce exchange.
At this moment, the butler came out from inside. When he saw Cheng Huaiyou and Cheng Chuyu, he looked surprised. "Young Master Huaiyou, Miss Chuyu, you've come too?"
The word "also" made the two exchange a glance, both with a bad feeling in their hearts. "Butler, who else has come besides us?"
They rushed over as soon as they received the news, but someone was even faster than them?
"Miss Xi Rao is here too, and she's inside keeping the old man company."
As soon as the butler finished speaking, the two of them walked into the old house without hesitation, not daring to waste a second.
Damn it, that little bitch Cheng Xirao is definitely trying to win over the old man for Cheng Shuyan. It's not easy for the old man to give up on Cheng Shuyan, we can't let that little bitch Cheng Xirao ruin their plans.
As the two walked down the corridor and entered the living room, they heard a clear, melodious laugh, like the tinkling of silver bells. Cheng Huaiyou and Cheng Chuyu stopped in their tracks. They exchanged a glance, and although they didn't speak, they both understood what the other wanted to say: cooperation. They could deal with the matter of interests later; right now, they should unite to deal with Cheng Xirao.
The old man has always favored Cheng Xirao since she was a child, so he might really give Cheng Shuyan another chance because of Cheng Xirao.
"Grandpa, sister, what are you talking about so happily?" Cheng Chuyu took the lead, her voice preceding her presence as she entered the room with a smile.
Cheng Xirao, who was telling jokes to the old man in the living room to make him happy, suddenly lost her smile. Her doll-like face turned expressionless as she glanced at the doorway. "You've come just in time. Dinner is about to start. You're here."
Cheng Chuyu didn't expect this little brat to be so disrespectful to them. "Little sister, long time no see. You're still so good at talking. Besides, Grandpa welcomes us to come over for a free meal. Grandpa, don't you think?" She sat down next to the old man and shook his arm in a coquettish manner.
The old man chuckled twice, "Welcome, welcome."
Cheng Chuyu smiled provocatively at Cheng Xirao.
Cheng Xirao rolled her eyes at Cheng Chuyu, crossed her arms and legs, and tilted her head to look at Cheng Chuyu with a half-smile.
"You're welcome to freeload, but please don't try to take advantage of me. I heard that my brother-in-law has his eye on another project. This is probably the eighth project he's set his sights on this year. I don't know how he thinks that a pie can just fall from the sky and land right on his head."
Cheng Chuyu's husband is the kind of person who is ambitious and would say things like, "Don't underestimate the poor when they are young, middle-aged, or old."
Only a fool like Cheng Chuyu would believe time and time again that her cowardly husband was truly talented.
Cheng Chuyu's expression changed, and the old man's smile faded because of Cheng Xirao's words. None of Cheng Chuyu's generation had lived up to his expectations. The only one who had done so was the one who had severed ties with him, leaving him with no one to whom he could entrust his vast fortune.
Unfortunately, the old man was a rigid man who believed that only boys could inherit the family fortune. Otherwise, Cheng Xirao would have been a good choice.
“Grandpa, why is my sister like this? I came to see you, but I didn’t mention Apan. I know that Apan is a disappointment and makes me look inferior to my sisters. But recently Apan has been much more obedient. I didn’t expect my sister to still look down on me like this.”
As Cheng Chuyu spoke, she sat there pretending to wipe away tears.
The old man's good mood, which had been almost completely soothed by Cheng Xirao, vanished completely. He glanced at Cheng Chuyu with some annoyance and said, "Alright, you two are sisters, so don't talk about each other. Huaiyou, you've come at the right time. Your father mentioned you the other day that you want to work for Cheng's Group, is that right?"
Cheng Huaiyou's eyes lit up. He nodded, suppressing his excitement. Afraid of becoming too overjoyed, he pinched the soft flesh on the side of his thigh tightly with one hand, trying not to show his joy too obviously.
"Yes, Grandpa, I'm not young anymore, and I want to do my part for the family."
The old man nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this.
