Chapter 796: Another live broadcast?

Xiao Peng lay on the hospital bed, looking at the computer with a painful expression: "Brother Chen, help!"

Chen Zetao on the other side of the screen asked in confusion, "Didn't you say you were fine? Why are you still shouting for help? Those who survive a disaster will surely be blessed in the future. You scared a lot of people this time."

After hearing this, Xiao Peng said directly: "They said I need to eat nutritious meals now! I'm almost going crazy from eating nutritious meals now!"

Chen Zetao said, "Brother Xiao, don't be afraid to seek medical attention. You just woke up not long ago, and you haven't eaten in so long. Your stomach won't be able to handle eating right away. It's right to eat a nutritious meal now."

Xiao Peng grabbed something on the table and asked, "Look at what kind of nutritious meals are there?"

Chen Zetao was also a little dumbfounded when he saw it: "Is this... popcorn?"

Xiao Peng nodded frantically. "I'm enjoying the best treatment here, right? But when I saw this nutritious meal, I was dumbfounded: besides the grilled salmon and pumpkin pie, which are more like human food, it also includes grilled tomato slices, popcorn, and lettuce soup. What kind of nutritious meal is this? The taste of the lettuce soup... forget it! I asked Abby how long I have to eat it, but she told me it depends on the test results. The initial plan is to make me eat this every day for a week! It would be better to just stab me!"

Chen Zetao laughed out loud after hearing this: "Brother Xiao, don't you love to run away the most? Why not just sneak out of the hospital?"

"It's not easy to slip away!" Xiao Peng said with a bitter face, "I can't even chat with you for too long now. Look, there are two people in the room looking at me. It must be that they don't understand Chinese, otherwise I wouldn't dare to tell you this!"

Chen Zetao laughed out loud after hearing this. After he finished laughing, he suddenly said, "Brother Xiao, what happened to you at the bottom of the sea that day?"

Xiao Peng was stunned for a moment, then said, "What could have happened? I just ran into a wolf eel den and was almost eaten by them, but I luckily escaped."

Chen Zetao didn't ask any more questions after hearing this: "Okay, Brother Xiao, I have something to tell you. You'd better start a live broadcast."

Xiao Peng frowned: "Brother Chen, you're going to exploit me just after I woke up?"

"Who exploited you?" Chen Zetao said, "The news of your injury spread through the American media. Now there are all kinds of rumors."

Xiao Peng said disdainfully, "Why should I care what they say? What does their words have to do with me? What can they say about me? Did I take this opportunity to betray my country or become a vegetable? Brother Chen, I've seen a lot of people talking nonsense, and when have I ever cared? Leave the rumors to the lawyers. Speaking of this, I have to blame you. I shouldn't have agreed to your crappy live broadcast back then. Otherwise, how happy would I be making a fortune now? Why would I have to listen to people's nonsense?"

Chen Zetao said, "Others can make a fortune quietly, but do you think you can? You've built such a great reputation in the deep-sea salvage industry in such a short time. Do you think you can keep it secret? Gold shines everywhere. Don't be angry if I tell you something."

Hearing Chen Zetao's tone turn serious, Xiao Peng asked curiously, "What's so serious? Brother Chen, I'm not exaggerating, but it's not easy to make me angry right now. You said I have money now, and I have beautiful girls - and several of them! I'm the winner among winners in life now. Do you think I would get angry so easily? If you have something to say, just tell me directly."

After hearing this, Chen Zetao said, "Your relatives all know about your situation. The newspapers speculated that you might become a vegetable or even die from your injuries, so your uncles have been busy. They went to the National Museum a while ago and made a big fuss, saying that they are your blood relatives and that if you become a vegetable, they will take over the custody of the cultural relics for you, and if you die, they will own them."

Xiao Peng slapped the bed and said, "Fuck, do they have any shame?"

"Don't be angry, don't be angry!" Chen Zetao advised: "Brother Xiao, you are a winner among winners in life! Don't be angry about such things."

Xiao Peng took a deep breath: "How is my grandfather doing?"

Chen Zetao said, "Don't worry. Your uncles wanted to go to your grandfather's place and make trouble for him to make the decision, but they were stopped. That's why they went to Beidu to make trouble. I also told Li Ruying, the Aunt Li who takes care of your grandfather, about your situation. She said not to tell your grandfather about this. Your grandfather is recovering well now and is eating, drinking and having fun with his old friends every day. Telling him about this might irritate him."

Xiao Peng nodded after hearing this and said, "That's a good thing. I'll video chat with my grandfather later and tell him about what's going on here."

Chen Zetao said, "Li Ruying told your grandfather that you went out to sea and that you had a new boat. Since there was no signal on the boat, you didn't contact your family. Don't let it slip."

Xiao Peng nodded and said, "Aunt Li is really thoughtful... Damn! Brother Chen, look at all my relatives. They're not even as good as an outsider!"

Chen Zetao suddenly fell silent.

Xiao Peng asked in confusion, "Brother Chen, why are you silent?"

Chen Zetao coughed dryly and said, "Well... first of all, let me tell you, I heard about this as well. It's like this. I heard your grandfather started a small orchestra for seniors in the nursing home. They usually play music and sing songs together. They're so good at it that they were even interviewed on TV."

Xiao Peng was stunned: "This is a good thing, why do you sound like it's a bad thing?"

Chen Zetao said, "It's like this. I heard that your grandfather and Li Ruying are very close. Many people in the nursing home are saying that they are now a couple..."

"Then what?" Xiao Peng asked puzzledly.

Chen Zetao asked in confusion: "Aren't you angry?"

"Why should I be angry?" Xiao Peng said, "This is the best news I've heard since I woke up! If my grandpa is happy, it's a good thing! Besides, although my grandpa is a little older, he's skilled in medicine and playing musical instruments. He's a man of vision in our area. It's no surprise that Aunt Li likes him! Brother Chen, I understand what you mean! As long as my grandpa can live happily, I'll give him money and help him out. It's that simple! I'll talk about this with my grandpa when we video chat later... By the way, how did I deal with those unreliable so-called 'relatives' of mine?"

"It's not resolved!" Chen Zetao spread his hands and said, "They started fighting among themselves."

"What the hell?" Xiao Peng asked in confusion, "Why are they fighting?"

"Both sides wanted ownership. Your uncles said that since you were surnamed Xiao, they should inherit. Your uncles said that they were expelling you and your mother from the family. In the end, the two sides couldn't reach an agreement and had a fierce fight. Now you are either in the hospital or the detention center!"

“…How fucking shameful!”
