Chapter 299 Clearing Yu Baisu's Name
Ye Chengyan's thin lips moved, wanting to say that he was clean, but the accident that attracted everyone's attention at the last old master Ji's birthday banquet was a clear indication that he was no longer clean. He took a deep breath and suppressed the violence in his heart, "Hehe, that was an accident, I believe Zhizhi can understand me."
"No..." I don't understand, I can't understand a thing.
Yunzhi was about to speak, but Ye Chengyan didn't give her a chance.
"But President Cheng is really leisurely. Your grandfather is in the hospital, and you're still here having a romantic time. No wonder there are rumors in the industry that President Cheng and the Cheng family have cut ties. President Cheng was practically raised by the old man, and he's certainly learned his father's ruthlessness better than his father." Ye Chengyan stared intently at Cheng Shuyan, his voice filled with sarcasm.
Grandpa Cheng has been admitted to the hospital?
When? Weren't they fine just a few days ago?
Yunzhi froze, even forgetting to take this opportunity to break free from Ye Chengyan's grasp. She suddenly raised her head and looked at Cheng Shuyan with concern. She knew that Cheng Shuyan's feelings towards the Cheng family or Old Master Cheng were very conflicted.
Grandpa Cheng may have done some things that Cheng Shuyan could never forgive in his life, but the kindness he showed in raising him over the years was undeniable.
If there's anyone Cheng Shuyan cares about in the Cheng family's old house, it's Cheng Shuyan himself. She wonders why Old Master Cheng is hospitalized. Of course, she doesn't think that this time, Old Master Cheng's illness is the same as in her previous life, when he got sick to force Cheng Shuyan to find a girlfriend quickly; this time, it's probably for real.
Cheng Shuyan was completely unaware of this matter.
Cheng Shuyan's brows were furrowed, and there was a hint of confusion in his eyes.
Grandpa is sick? But no one in the family told him.
That's true. He's already severed ties with the Cheng family and his grandfather. Even if his grandfather is sick, probably no one would bother to tell him.
"It seems President Cheng is unaware of this. Sigh, I was just being nosy. I'm afraid the Cheng family, or perhaps Old Master Cheng, is intentionally keeping it from you. I don't know if it's because they're worried or... something else." Ye Chengyan raised an eyebrow, continuing to provoke Cheng Shuyan.
In these circles, every family has its secrets.
Cheng Shuyan's secret lies in his relationship with the Cheng family's old house.
Seeing that Ye Chengyan was still adding fuel to the fire, Yunzhi glared at him and was about to comfort Cheng Shuyan when Cheng Shuyan suddenly looked up. His expression remained unchanged, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
“You seem to care about my grandfather. My grandfather is missing a grandson. If you are interested in becoming my grandfather’s grandson, I can help you.”
Who would want to be recognized as a grandfather for no reason?
Moreover, Ye Chengyan knew everything about the Cheng family's old mansion, even though others might not know. It was a ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment, and it would also implicate others.
Ye Chengyan smirked and continued his sarcastic remarks, "Even if President Cheng harbors resentment towards Old Master Cheng, he shouldn't say such disrespectful things. As juniors, we should just lower our heads. What can't we overcome? If word gets out about your affair with Old Master Cheng, it will likely damage your reputation, President Cheng."
Cheng Shuyan was unhappy, but Ye Chengyan was happy.
"I see." Cheng Shuyan drawled, "It seems that President Ye has a knack for getting along with his family. I just don't know why Aunt Ye would say that President Ye moved to live at the company because Aunt Ye was at home. If Aunt Ye hadn't gone back to the old house, he probably would have lived at the company for the rest of his life."
The smile in Ye Chengyan's eyes vanished instantly. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Cheng Shuyan with a cold gaze.
Ye Chengyan's smile then shifted to Cheng Shuyan.
Cheng Shuyan didn't forget to use Ye Chengyan's words to gamble on him, "Mr. Ye is right. As juniors, we can get through anything by bowing our heads. It's just that our family affairs haven't been spread yet, but Mr. Ye's family affairs have already become the topic of conversation. I wonder if this will affect Mr. Ye and the reputation of the Ye Group."
Cheng Shuyan's sarcastic tone almost made Yunzhi burst out laughing; she really enjoyed seeing Cheng Shuyan's sarcastic remarks.
Ye Chengyan's face turned ashen, his hand hanging at his side tightened little by little, and he exuded a continuous chill. He didn't expect that his mother would not only fail to help him maintain his reputation outside, but also cause trouble for him outside and say things she shouldn't have!
Haha, it seems she's really getting old. It's time to choose a suitable nursing home for her so she can spend her remaining years in peace.
Ye's mother was unaware that because she had cried and complained outside a few times, Ye Chengyan had actually considered sending her to a nursing home.
Cheng Shuyan noticed the fleeting ruthlessness in Ye Chengyan's eyes and became wary.
"Those are just rumors circulating outside. But every family has its own troubles, and I think President Cheng understands what I mean." Ye Chengyan was unwilling to talk about his mother. He was afraid that he would lose control and rush back to his mother now, throwing her into a nursing home.
He's more trouble than he's worth. The reason he doesn't want to go back is because his mother keeps pressuring him to marry Yu Baisu. She clearly knows who he likes and who wants to marry him. It seems he's been too lenient with her.
Oh right, Yu Baisu… Ye Chengyan finally remembered the woman who had been standing in the background all along. He let go of Yunzhi’s hand and waved to Yu Baisu. Ye Chengyan’s voice was not gentle. Because of Cheng Shuyan, Ye Chengyan was reminded of that humiliating night once again.
"Come here, Yu Baisu."
Yu Baisu looked up in surprise, then walked over in small steps. She stood beside Ye Chengyan, looked up and spoke to Yunzhi in a soft voice, "Miss Yun, I'm sorry. Actually, that day, after Ayan came to his senses, he wanted to save you, but I was too scared, so I stopped him. Now that I think about it, I'm really scared. Luckily, nothing happened to you, otherwise I would never forgive myself for the rest of my life."
Yu Baisu's almond-shaped eyes were filled with self-blame, as if she really regretted it. But only she knew how much she wanted Yunzhi to die. When she learned that Yunzhi had not died in the car accident, Yu Baisu's first reaction was to continue to plan to make Yunzhi disappear. However, she was afraid that her actions would be discovered, so she never made up her mind.
Yunzhi naturally understood that Yu Baisu wished she were dead.
She looked at Yu Baisu with a half-smile but didn't say anything. At this moment, Ye Chengyan spoke up, "Zhizhi, I checked. Yu Baisu made an emergency call that night. You must have misunderstood her."
