Chapter 342: Retreat to Advance

Zhou Siyu was also shocked after hearing what Chi Yan said, and she looked at her in disbelief.

"What did you say? My uncle wants to acquire Chi Corporation?"

Chi Yan looked very bad, and it was obvious that she had not been doing well recently. She looked very haggard and had lost a lot of weight.

When Zhou Siyu saw her for the first time, she was stunned for several seconds before she reacted.

Chi Yan looked at the shock in her eyes and touched her face with a wry smile, "Si Yu, A Chen is really too cruel..."

Zhou Siyu's heart was pounding. "How could this happen? My uncle has always been very kind to you. Why would he suddenly stop helping you and even want to acquire Chi's? Why would this happen?"

She couldn't understand why this happened, but Chi Yan couldn't understand it either. Even if he had no romantic feelings for her, even if he had only treated her based on their friendship, since he had helped her so many times and had always been nice to her, why couldn't he continue to be nice to her?

Why did he suddenly change his mind and take back everything?

How can she adapt to this and accept it?

"He's avoiding suspicion..."

Zhou Siyu's eyes narrowed, "Avoid suspicion?"

Chi Yan smiled bitterly, "After all, he is married, and the rumors about us were circulating in Hong Kong before, which probably made some people unhappy."

In fact, Chi Yan also knew that this probably had nothing to do with Xu Ge directly, but she was indeed the culprit that caused her and Zhou Chen to become what they are now.

Zhou Siyu opened her mouth and asked, "Are you saying that my uncle treated you like this because of Xu Ge?"

"Is there any other reason? If he really wanted the Chi family, why didn't he say it before? He clearly had many opportunities. I know that if he really wanted to take action against the Chi family, the Chi family would have changed hands long ago. But why did he do this after he got married? Isn't it obvious?"

After hearing this, Zhou Siyu felt that her words made sense and her thoughts were always led by her.

She couldn't help but clench her fists. "Uncle is actually willing to do this for her? He doesn't even care about your past relationship?"

Chi Yan looked at her indignant face, lowered her eyes gently, held her hand, and said softly.

"Siyu, I have always treated you as my own sister for so many years, so can you help me?"

Zhou Siyu's eyes flashed. She wanted to refuse but couldn't say it because of her helpless and pale face. She could only remind him in a tactful way.

"Sister Chi Yan, I also want to help you, but I don't know how I can help you. You also know that I have the lowest status in our family. I don't know..."

"I know. I just want you to ask your father or Mr. Zhou for mercy? Maybe the Chi family can escape this disaster."

Zhou Siyu paused before saying, "Then why don't you go find them yourself?"

Chi Yan lowered her eyes. "It's the same if I look for you. You are also a member of the Zhou family, and we have the best relationship."

Zhou Siyu couldn't refute this, so she sighed and said, "I'll tell Dad and Grandpa, but Sister Chi Yan, my uncle is the real person in charge of both the company and our Zhou family. You should know this, right?"

She didn't make it very clear, but she was still pointing out this fact to her.

If the other members of the Zhou family had more say, there wouldn't have been that grand wedding. In the current Zhou family, Zhou Chen is the one who has the absolute say.

Ji Yan's expression froze for a moment, but she quickly adjusted herself.

"Then could you please make an appointment with your grandfather for me? I'll ask him for help in person."

Zhou Siyu actually didn't want to get involved in this matter. Since her uncle was planning to acquire Chi's, if she secretly helped him, it would definitely make her uncle unhappy, and she would have to let her niece go against her will.

So she quickly nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll talk to Grandpa for you. I may not be able to help you with other things, but I will definitely let you meet Grandpa."

In fact, this was Chi Yan's purpose. She only mentioned it in a tactful way because she was afraid that she would refuse it outright.

After all, she has become accustomed to those people's hypocrisy and flattery these days.

"Siyu, thank you, I really was wrong about you."

Zhou Siyu just smiled when she heard that. "It's my duty. I didn't do anything..."

At this moment, Xu Ge had already gone to bed after taking a shower. She was looking at the photos sent by Qin Lei.

They are all photos of Xu Hongsheng entering and leaving Ji Ranran’s community.

Xu Ge: "Why are there no photos of the two of you together?"

Qin Lei: "No."

Xu Ge: “…”

Qin Lei: "Xu Hongsheng is a very cautious person. I have never seen him and Ji Ranran in the same frame."

Xu Ge: “…”

Xu Ge turned the phone in his hand and thought of a solution.

Her throat suddenly felt itchy and she couldn't help coughing a few times. She turned around to get the water cup on the bedside table, but found it was empty.

So she had to get up and get a glass of water, and went directly to the kitchen to get a glass of purified warm water.

She tilted her head back and drank half a cup, then cleared her throat before the itchiness gradually subsided.

Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she saw a car parked downstairs.

Although she could only see the body of the car and not the front or back, she had a hunch and guessed whose car it was.

So she stood by the window and watched quietly.

If the person below is Zhou Zimo, then he is now downstairs of her apartment...

Do you know what good things his mother did?

She is slow

He took another sip of water, filled his cup again and was about to turn around and leave when his cell phone vibrated. He looked down and saw a text message.

"I understand. I'm sorry..."

Looking at this message, Xu Ge thought about it and decided that in order to avoid further entanglement in the future, she should be kinder.

Xu Ge: "What your mother did has nothing to do with you, and I won't take my anger out on you, but Zimo, it's impossible for us. Regardless of my current status, based on what Chen Ru did to me four years ago, if it weren't for my uncle's timely determination and the right decision, I'm afraid I would have been ruined long ago."

Xu Ge: "Just forget about what happened between us and live your life well. I really hope everything is going well for you..."

After she sent these words, she waited for more than ten seconds. Seeing that he didn't reply, she turned away from the window and turned off the kitchen light.

Zhou Zimo in the car had bloodshot eyes as he watched Xu Ge turn and leave. The lights went out, and he finally couldn't help but slam the steering wheel.

"Ah, why, why!"

Zhou Zimo's chest was heaving, his eyes were red, and he picked up his phone to edit again.

"It's impossible for us, but it's possible for you and your uncle? Why? How did he treat you back then? You..."

At this point, he suddenly stopped, and Xu Ge's words suddenly flashed before his eyes: "If it weren't for my uncle making the right decision in time."

What does this sentence mean?

Zhou Siyu was also shocked after hearing what Chi Yan said, and she looked at her in disbelief.

"What did you say? My uncle wants to acquire Chi Corporation?"

Chi Yan looked very bad, and it was obvious that she had not been doing well recently. She looked very haggard and had lost a lot of weight.
