Chapter 275 I've Been Wronged
Although in the old man's eyes, Cheng Huaiyou was not quite qualified, there were not many people in the Cheng family who could make him pick and choose. In recent years, the old man had clearly felt that his health was getting worse and worse. If he could not find a successor, he would not be able to die in peace.
Upon hearing this, a hint of jealousy flashed in Cheng Chuyu's eyes. They were all members of the Cheng family, yet their daughters and granddaughters only received a generous dowry. She had once mentioned wanting to join the Cheng family, but the old man vetoed it. Why? Why could Cheng Huaiyou, that good-for-nothing, join the Cheng family, but she couldn't? Was it just because Cheng Huaiyou had something extra?
Cheng Xirao noticed the jealousy in her eyes.
Cheng Xirao sneered inwardly. She looked down on neither Cheng Chuyu nor Cheng Huaiyou. Thinking of what her elder brother had told her, Cheng Xirao's eyes darted around. She was already thinking of ways to get out of the Cheng family. Otherwise, if such a person was the leader of the Cheng family, the Cheng family would fall sooner or later, and it might even implicate her.
"You'll report to Cheng's tomorrow. I've arranged everything. You'll start from the bottom. Any problems?" The old man wanted to take advantage of his current lucidity to cultivate a successor, and that person wasn't just Cheng Huaiyou.
Cheng Huaiyou was just one of them.
"No problem, Grandpa. I will do my best to help you and my family." Cheng Huaiyou stood up straight, his expression so serious that he almost raised his hand to swear an oath.
As for the grassroots level, he saw it as nothing more than a formality. As long as he inadvertently revealed his identity, how could anyone in the company possibly offend him, the future leader?
Cheng Huaiyou was already fantasizing about taking the position of the head of the Cheng family. The more he thought about it, the happier he became. If it weren't for the fact that this was the old house and he was in front of the old man, Cheng Huaiyou would have already invited people to their house to celebrate.
The old man was fairly satisfied with Cheng Huaiyou's attitude.
He nodded, his mood was fairly good.
Cheng Xirao's eyes darted around, and she spoke up, "Grandpa, I want to study in Country Y."
"Why are you going to such a far place?" The old man frowned as he looked at Cheng Xirao. He was mainly worried that Cheng Xirao would be bullied there.
Cheng Xirao listed a whole bunch of advantages, but in short, it was no big deal for him to want to study in Y country. The old man thought about it and finally nodded in agreement.
Cheng Xirao happily hugged the old man, but in her heart she was thinking that after going to Y country, she would not come back until the old man passed away. She knew without a doubt that the Cheng family had been in turmoil for the past few years. Although the Cheng family had raised her, the old man's affection for her was like that for a pet.
In the old man's heart, his daughter was his daughter, and she could never compare to his son and grandson.
Thinking of what her brother had said, Cheng Xirao couldn't wait any longer.
Seeing that Cheng Xirao hadn't fought for any benefits and was even going to study in Y country, Cheng Chuyu gritted his teeth and felt that this couldn't go on. If that idiot Cheng Huaiyou came to power, would their Apan still be able to get any benefits from the Cheng family? Given Cheng Huaiyou's stingy nature, it was obvious that it was impossible.
If Cheng Huaiyou were to take over, it would be better for Cheng Shuyan to take over.
Cheng Chuyu was extremely anxious. Taking advantage of the old man going upstairs to rest and Cheng Huaiyou leaving, she grabbed Cheng Xirao who was about to leave.
Cheng Xirao was pulled back, turned around to look at Cheng Chuyu who seemed hesitant to speak, and impatiently shook off her hand, "What are you doing?"
"Cheng Xirao, Cheng Huaiyou is about to take over. Aren't you going to do anything?" The cooperation between Cheng Huaiyou and Cheng Chuyu has just collapsed. The old man's attitude was very clear. Cheng Chuyu doesn't believe that Cheng Xirao doesn't know what the old man means.
"What are you going to do? You know perfectly well that only men in the Cheng family can take over the business. Do you expect me to compete with Cheng Huaiyou for something?" Cheng Xirao didn't want to compete, nor did she care to.
"No, then brother, what about Cheng Shuyan?" Cheng Chuyu certainly didn't expect Cheng Xirao to compete for anything, but Cheng Xirao could use Cheng Shuyan's name to compete. The old man originally favored Cheng Shuyan, and as long as Cheng Shuyan had this intention, the Cheng family would definitely be in Cheng Shuyan's pocket.
Cheng Xirao laughed loudly as if she had heard a joke, "Big brother doesn't want the Cheng family anymore. The Cheng family is just a burden to him now. If Cheng Huaiyou wants it, just give it to him. I remember you two had a pretty good relationship, so why are you starting to encourage me now? I know, it's just a superficial relationship, isn't it? Cheng Chuyu, anyone can see through your little schemes. If you want to do something, do it yourself. Don't expect me to do it."
After Cheng Xirao finished speaking, she left without looking back.
Cheng Chuyu reached out to grab her, but missed. Finally, she stomped her foot in anger, looked up at the second floor with resentment, and then left as well.
At this time, the other side.
Yunzhi hesitated for a long time outside her hospital room before finally bracing herself and pushing the door open. As soon as she entered, she saw her parents sitting on the sofa, glancing at the door every now and then, as if they were waiting for someone.
When Yunmu saw Yunzhi, she stood up first. She rushed to Yunzhi, grabbed Yunzhi's shoulders with both hands, and tears streamed down her face. "Our Zhizhi has been wronged. It's because your father and mother are too late. Your father and mother will definitely avenge you. That Bai family, your father and mother will definitely not let them get away with it."
When Yunzhi saw Yunmu crying, her nose tingled and tears streamed down her face.
She sniffled, hugged Yunmu tightly, and cried silently without saying a word. The more she cried like this, the more heartbroken Yunmu felt. "My dear, it's all your father's fault. I told him not to let you come back alone, but he insisted on making you come back to toughen you up. Now you almost lost your life. And your brother, he's such a grown man, but he can't take good care of you..."
Yunmu choked back tears and complained about both men in the family.
Yun Yun wasn't there, and Yun's father looked remorseful. Although it was Yun Zhi who wanted to return to China, he genuinely intended to train his daughter. If he had known that such a thing would happen after his daughter returned to China, he would never have let her go.
The father felt a profound sense of devastation upon learning of his daughter's car accident, as if he had lost the whole world, a feeling that still haunts him today.
After calming herself down, Yunzhi took the initiative to break free from Yunmu's embrace. She turned around in front of Yunmu, her eyes still filled with tears, and comforted her.
"Mom, I'm fine. I'm standing right in front of you now. But when the car accident happened, I almost thought I would never see you again. Luckily, Shuyan stood in front of me."
Yunmu couldn't stand Yunzhi's words, and her emotions, which had just stabilized, almost collapsed again.
