Chapter 311 Malice in the Heart
Cheng Shuyan's voice was unhurried. Yunzhi, who was standing to the side, almost blurted out in her eyes that he was really bold and not afraid of upsetting the old man. The old man was such a proud person.
Perhaps in response to Yunzhi's idea, Grandpa Cheng on the other end of the phone clutched his chest, gasped for breath, and then dropped his phone to the ground with a thud. Less than two seconds later, a cacophony of noise came from the other end of the line.
"Quick, the patient has fainted!"
Cheng Shuyan's expression was complicated, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.
“Shuyan, we don’t have anything else to do in a while, let’s go to the hospital to see your grandfather. It wouldn’t be good if you really upset him and caused him any harm.” Yunzhi suggested. China is still a society that values filial piety. If something really happened to Grandpa Cheng because of Cheng Shuyan, the public’s scorn would drown Cheng Shuyan.
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Shuyan gently shook her head. "The last person Grandpa wants to see right now is me. If I go there now, Grandpa will probably faint from anger again. Don't worry, I've already placed someone by Grandpa's side. If anything happens to Grandpa, they will report to me immediately."
After learning about the old man's situation from Ye Chengyan, Cheng Shuyan devised a plan. He arranged for one of Ye Chengyan's undercover agents in the old house to take care of the old man closely. If something really happened to the old man, Cheng Shuyan would probably find out sooner than the rest of the Cheng family.
Upon hearing this, Yunzhi didn't try to persuade her any further. As long as Cheng Shuyan understood, that was fine. Seeing that Cheng Shuyan wasn't in a good mood, she sat back down in her seat and started unwrapping the remaining gifts.
At this time, the hospital where Grandpa Cheng was located was in chaos, and he was rushed to the emergency room for treatment.
What neither Grandpa Cheng nor Cheng Shuyan knew was that while they were on the phone, someone overheard most of their conversation. This person was Cheng Huaiyou, one of the people they were talking about.
After Cheng Huaiyou entered the grassroots level, he always considered himself the future heir of the Cheng family. He came here this time to make a good impression on his grandfather and try to get his grandfather to give him a permanent position as soon as possible. Who knew that before he even entered the grassroots, he heard his grandfather's complete rejection of him. In his grandfather's heart, he was still not as good as Cheng Shuyan.
Even though Cheng Shuyan had severed ties with the Cheng family and his grandfather, in his grandfather's heart, he was still the first choice to inherit the Cheng family business. So what did all his efforts over the years amount to?
Cheng Huaiyou was filled with resentment. After hearing his grandfather belittle him so much, he had nowhere to vent his anger. In a fit of rage, he turned and left the hospital, throwing the supplements he was carrying into the trash can. On his way back, he became angrier and angrier. Finally, fearing that his grandfather would really give the company to Cheng Shuyan, he endured the humiliation and went back.
He felt like a fool for calling Cheng Shuyan in the middle of the night to brag a few days ago. To Cheng Shuyan, the Cheng family was something that could be obtained easily. If Cheng Shuyan wanted it, his grandfather would probably give Cheng Shuyan the Cheng family's century-old hard work without even blinking an eye.
He had always heard his father say that his grandfather favored his uncle, but he never thought anything of it. Now that he had experienced it firsthand, he could understand his father's resentment and anger.
The Cheng family business belongs to him. He absolutely cannot let his grandfather, in his old age, hand over the company to Cheng Shuyan. If his grandfather really does that, then don't blame him for being ruthless. A sinister glint flashed in Cheng Huaiyou's eyes, and murderous intent spread through his dark pupils.
But when Cheng Huaiyou arrived at the hospital, he learned that the old man had been admitted to the emergency room due to emotional distress.
Cheng Huaiyou's first reaction was that his grandfather deserved it. If his grandfather hadn't still harbored unrealistic fantasies about Cheng Shuyan, how could he have been so angered to the point of fainting? His second reaction was that he subconsciously hoped that his grandfather would really be angered to death by Cheng Shuyan, so that Cheng Shuyan would bear the name of being unfilial, and the Cheng family would be his.
Cheng Huaiyou suppressed his excitement and pretended to be worried as he paced back and forth outside the emergency room. He clasped his hands together, looking extremely filial, but only he knew in his heart that he was not praying that the old man would be alright, but that the old man would never wake up.
It can be used for both vegetative state patients and those who have failed to be resuscitated.
Once Grandpa gets into trouble, no one can stop him anymore.
Unfortunately, an hour later, the doctor came out and told Cheng Huaiyou, to his relief, that the old man had been successfully rescued, but would need to rest and recuperate for a while and avoid emotional fluctuations.
The doctor gave a long list of precautions, which Cheng Huaiyou listened to attentively on the surface, but in reality, they went in one ear and out the other. A hint of regret flashed in his eyes. Why was the rescue successful? If only Grandpa had just fallen into a deep sleep and never woke up again, how wonderful that would have been.
Although Cheng Huaiyou thought this way, he did an excellent job of putting on a show, running around for the old man and leaving everyone in the hospital with the impression that he was very filial.
Mr. Cheng's hospital room.
Cheng Huaiyou stood in front of the old man's hospital bed, his face expressionless as he looked at the old man with the ventilator on and his eyes closed. Cheng Huaiyou glanced at the machine beside him that was monitoring the old man's heartbeat at all times. Never before had he hoped so much that the machine would show a steady, straight line.
He stared intently at the old man's ventilator, a malicious glint in his eyes. He reached out and carefully touched the ventilator. If he removed the oxygen, the old man would soon disappear from this world.
Moreover, even if they investigate, they won't find anything on him, and they can even drag Cheng Shuyan down with them. If it weren't for Cheng Shuyan provoking Grandpa, Grandpa wouldn't have passed away so early.
Cheng Huaiyou had already planned out how to use a sorrowful expression to accuse Cheng Shuyan. His fingertips trembled slightly, his pupils dilated, and his heart was pounding uncontrollably. Strangely, he felt no fear at all, but rather a great excitement. He could almost see himself sitting in the president's office chair at Cheng's Group.
Just as his fingers touched his grandfather's oxygen mask, the door was pushed open from the outside with a bang. Cheng Huaiyou's expression changed, and his fingers quickly moved down, pretending to cover the old man with a blanket. After covering the old man with the blanket, he calmly stood up and turned around. When he saw the group of people who came in through the door, his back was already soaked with cold sweat.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly. If they had noticed anything... Just thinking about it made Cheng Huaiyou feel his blood freeze.
Many of these people were his competitors, and like him, they wanted to send Cheng Shuyan to prison. They were also looking for an opportunity to bring him down, since in this generation, only he and Cheng Shuyan had caught the old man's eye.
