Chapter 35 Jealousy
Cheng Chuyu glared at Cheng Xirao, then turned and left with her bag.
Cheng Huaiyou, being a coward, also quickly slipped away.
Cheng Shuyan gave Yunzhi a reassuring look and followed Grandpa Cheng upstairs.
In the living room, Cheng Xirao looked Yunzhi up and down several times before finally pulling her onto the sofa.
"You're so beautiful, no wonder my brother likes you. He's very picky." Cheng Xirao was cheerful and chattered on and on, a stark contrast to Yunzhi.
"My name is Cheng Xirao, and you will be my sister-in-law from now on."
"I..." Yunzhi wanted to deny it, but thinking that she couldn't give herself away, she could only shut her mouth.
"My name is Yunzhi."
"Yunzhi..." Cheng Xirao muttered Yunzhi's name, and the more she looked at Yunzhi, the more she liked her.
"Sister-in-law, tell me, how did you and my brother meet? And how did you get together?"
Cheng Xirao's words brought back memories to Yunzhi's mind.
There were many unexpected events when she first met Cheng Shuyan, and she even initially misunderstood Cheng Shuyan as a pervert.
Looking back now, it's quite amusing.
Yunzhi and Cheng Xirao hit it off immediately and chatted happily.
Soon, Cheng Shuyan and Grandpa Cheng returned. It was hard to tell what had happened between them from their expressions. Yunzhi looked at Cheng Shuyan with a slightly worried expression.
Cheng Shuyan simply shook his head slightly.
"Grandpa, we're going back now."
Grandpa Cheng did not stop him: "Don't forget what you promised."
Cheng Shuyan nodded and left with Yunzhi.
Old Master Cheng sighed, his expression revealing neither joy nor anger. Instead, he called over the butler beside him: "Go and find out what this girl's background is, and what her family situation is like."
Cheng Xirao was somewhat surprised and tried to stop him, saying, "Grandpa, what if my eldest brother finds out about this rash investigation?"
Grandpa Cheng, however, said matter-of-factly, "I have to know what my future granddaughter-in-law does! I never expected that this brat would keep it a secret for so long."
In contrast, Cheng Shuyan and Yunzhi were at this time.
Even after getting into Cheng Shuyan's car, Yunzhi's tense state did not completely relax.
"Has it bothered you?"
Thinking of what Old Master Cheng said when he left, Yunzhi wanted to know what Cheng Shuyan had promised.
If it were related to her, she would feel incredibly guilty.
"Want to know?" Cheng Shuyan looked at Yunzhi.
"Never mind." Yunzhi shook her head. "This is your family matter. I just hope I didn't cause you any trouble today."
She had barely finished speaking when Cheng Shuyan flicked her forehead.
Yunzhi covered her head, looking at him with a puzzled expression.
Cheng Shuyan explained gently, "What are you thinking? I just promised Grandpa Cheng that I would come back often."
Yunzhi didn't speak again. She was lost in thought and didn't notice the complicated look in Cheng Shuyan's eyes when he looked at her.
……
On the other side, Cheng Chuyu, who had left the Cheng family, was furious.
"I'm so angry! That old bastard, how can he like Cheng Shuyan so much!"
Even though Cheng Shuyan had already fallen out with the Cheng family and left home, Old Master Cheng could easily forgive him.
Cheng Chuyu grew increasingly resentful. Her phone kept ringing in her pocket, and seeing the incoming text messages only made her more irritated.
They're all debt collectors.
Her husband was involved in real estate and stock speculation, losing a lot of money. In the end, he even tricked Cheng Chuyu into taking all of her dowry and leaving her with a mountain of debt.
Now that these debt collectors have come knocking on his door, Cheng Chuyu has to help resolve the situation.
She had originally gone back to the Cheng family today to ask for money, but she ran into a snag.
After thinking it over, she made a phone call.
"It's been so long since we last talked. What have you been up to lately?"
"The hospital? What happened to you?"
"Where's your address? I'm coming to see you right away!"
……
Cheng Shuyan took Yunzhi home. He originally wanted to treat Yunzhi to a meal to express his gratitude, but some problems arose at the company and he needed to deal with them immediately.
As soon as Yunzhi stepped off the elevator, she smelled a whiff of smoke in the corridor.
He didn't like those flavors.
Yunzhi frowned, preparing to go home immediately, when she heard a laugh.
"You're living a really comfortable life now."
Yunzhi was stunned for a moment. He turned his head and saw a person standing at the end of the nearest corridor. It was Ye Chengyan!
Yunzhi's face suddenly turned extremely ugly. She had forgotten that Ye Chengyan already knew her address.
Ye Chengyan still had a cigarette between his fingers, and the rising smoke blurred half of his face.
He walked towards Yunzhi, Cheng Liang's leather shoes clicking on the ground, his footsteps growing closer.
"Just finished a date with Cheng Shuyan? I thought you two had been living together for a while."
After leaving the company, he suddenly thought of Yunzhi for some reason, so he came to the rented house to look for her, but he waited for a long time and no one came.
Just as he was about to leave, he saw Yunzhi getting out of Cheng Shuyan's car on the balcony of the corridor.
Ye Chengyan was furious.
Yunzhi wanted to distance herself from Ye Chengyan, but Ye Chengyan pressed on relentlessly, giving Yunzhi no chance to leave.
"What I do is none of your business." Now, Yunzhi's gaze towards Ye Chengyan was nothing but indifference.
Now, when I face him, I feel no emotion whatsoever.
Yunzhi's attitude clearly displeased Ye Chengyan: "What does it have to do with me? Yunzhi, I am still your husband."
"Ye Chengyan, what exactly do you want?" Yunzhi couldn't understand. "Since you're already with Cheng Xirao, why won't you let me go? I'm tired, and I don't want to ruin your relationship with Cheng Xirao."
Ye Chengyan curled his lips in a sarcastic smile: "Yunzhi, are you playing hard to get? Trying to keep me here with this method?"
Yunzhi couldn't fathom Ye Chengyan's thoughts: "Ye Chengyan, is torturing me something interesting to you?"
What does he want to do?
He's already kept his distance, what more could he possibly want!
"Torture you?" Ye Chengyan grabbed Yunzhi's chin, forcing her to raise her head. "Yunzhi, if you want to leave, you can."
Looking at Ye Chengyan in front of her, Yunzhi knew that his words were not so simple. Sure enough, as Yunzhi expected, Ye Chengyan continued, "But I want custody of Tongtong. Where exactly are you hiding the child?"
Yunzhi's eyes were icy: "Ye Chengyan, Tongtong is my daughter. You are not worthy of being her father, and you are not worthy of mentioning her!"
"Whether she's a good match or not isn't up to you to decide, Yunzhi. You'd better be sensible and tell me where she is."
Just then, Ye Chengyan's phone rang.
He initially didn't want to pay attention, but the phone kept ringing, as if something urgent had happened.
Ye Chengyan had no choice but to connect.
An anxious shout came from the other end of the phone.
"It's terrible, Mr. Ye! The young master has disappeared!"
