Chapter 208 The Feng Family's Internal Strife Continues
The one who got into trouble this time was her maternal grandmother, Madam Feng.
Xia Yue heard about her grandmother's accident at the hospital; she and her brother Feng Yao were staying at the same hospital.
"The old lady suffered a sudden stroke. I don't know what happened. She usually has a physical examination every month..." The Feng family's butler and doctor talked anxiously.
Xia Yue pushed Feng Yao, who was in a wheelchair, to the entrance of the emergency room.
In addition, several members of the Feng family were standing at the entrance.
Among them, Feng Qi, the adopted son of the third wife, and Song Qing, Feng Qi's tutor, are both people Xia Yue knows.
When those people saw Xia Yue and Feng Yao approaching, they all crowded around them, only concerned with matters of interest.
"Previously, it was Old Madam Feng who was in charge, but now that she has fallen ill and you, Feng Yao, are injured, what will become of the Feng family?"
"Yes, the oil company's business can't be delayed even for a day. The project has already started construction, and stopping work for even a day would be a waste of millions."
"In my opinion, Feng Qi is usually very reliable and has never made any mistakes. He is also quite loyal to the Feng family. We might as well let him handle this matter; perhaps that will improve efficiency."
"..."
Everyone was talking at once, but the core purpose was the same.
From now on, Feng Qi will be the head of the Feng family, while the older generation will hold power behind the scenes, ousting Feng Yao from the family.
Even without Master Feng, there are still a large number of people who want to seize power.
Upon hearing this, Feng Yao only regretted that he was currently in a wheelchair, otherwise he would have already taken action!
"Uncles, aunts, and uncles from the collateral branches, Grandma's life hangs in the balance, yet you only care about this kind of thing, standing outside her hospital room making a ruckus. Are you really doing this for the good of the Feng family?" Feng Yao questioned angrily.
In the past, no one would have taken Feng Yao, this "sickly fellow," seriously.
But now, Feng Yao is favored by the old lady, has defeated the second master Feng, has a divine physician sister as his backer, and has a close relationship with Qin Shi.
If you directly break off relations, you definitely won't get the better of it.
So, in the end, it was Third Master Feng who stepped forward, dumping the mess on Feng Yao, and asked directly, "Now that the old lady is ill and your health has not yet recovered, you are unable to oversee the offshore oil exploration. The Feng family must send someone, otherwise things will fall apart."
"Uncle Feng, are you trying to recommend your adopted son Feng Qi?" Feng Yao directly exposed Third Master Feng's thoughts.
Upon hearing this, Third Master Feng no longer kept a low profile and directly admitted, "Besides him, who else in the Feng family is more suitable?"
Song Qing also stepped forward and said, "I have a very good relationship with the Qin family. It just so happens that the Qin family is one of the partners of the oil company. If Feng Qi participates, I can help mediate."
"When it comes to connections with the Qin family, can you compare to my sister, the legal wife of the Qin family patriarch?" Feng Yao couldn't help but retort.
He had already figured out what the third family was planning. He absolutely could not hand over control of the oil company; that would be like throwing a lamb to the slaughter, with no chance of return.
Xia Yue didn't want what she had worked so hard to achieve to be used as a stepping stone for someone else.
She said firmly, "My brother's injuries will be fully recovered in a week at most. You can't even wait that long. Your ambition is truly obvious."
“Dr. X, although you also have the blood of the Feng family, this matter is ultimately an internal affair of the Feng family. Since you don’t have the surname Feng, it’s better for you to stay out of it.” Song Qing directly confronted Xia Yue.
She lost to Xia Yue when she was fighting for Qin Yeting in the Qin family, and she has been resentful ever since.
Now that she's married to Feng Qi, life is even harder than before; she has to be mindful of the Feng family's attitude every day.
If she can help Feng Qi regain control this time and prove her worth, her future will be better.
"Excuse me, but from the moment I helped my brother, the Feng family's affairs became my affairs!" Xia Yue responded loudly.
Feng Yao went even further, threatening, "As the young master of the Feng family, I have the right to decide which family members' concubines to choose. Miss Song, if you continue to affect my sister's mood, I will immediately expel you from the Feng family!"
Feudalism in Country A is a shackle, but if used properly, it can also bring benefits.
Upon hearing this, Song Qing's expression changed once again.
She never imagined that her life would be so cheap in Country A.
Just because she was a concubine!
Just because she's not favored!
Song Qing blushed, but in the end she could only grit her teeth and back down.
Feng Yao's words were tantamount to slapping Feng Qi in the face, but Feng Qi's reaction was calm, and he didn't seem to care about this concubine.
He didn't even care about the oil company.
He remained a mere background figure throughout, letting everyone argue.
Just as everyone was at a stalemate, the doctor from the emergency room came out and announced, "The patient is out of danger for now and can be transferred to a VIP ward. After another twelve hours of observation, he can be transferred to a regular ward."
Xia Yue breathed a sigh of relief; finally, there was some good news.
Feng Yao then said, "The matter of the oil company will be decided by Grandma herself after she wakes up. Until then, I will take charge of it personally."
Anyone who disagrees, please keep quiet for now!
The room fell silent upon hearing this.
Feng Yao is not angry unless he gets angry, but when he does get angry, it is enough to intimidate the entire audience!
Even in a wheelchair, his imposing presence still overshadowed everyone else.
Everyone fell silent.
Afterwards, Xia Yue first accompanied her grandmother to the VIP observation ward, and then pushed everyone back to their wards, leaving only the two siblings to discuss things privately.
"Sister, can my body recover a little earlier? Aren't there some miraculous medicines that can instantly rejuvenate a person's body and restore them to their former glory? Is there such a medicine?" Feng Yao asked anxiously.
Xia Yue glared at her brother, annoyed. "You can't even walk properly now, and you want to recover? Do you think this is a novel? It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone, don't you understand?"
“I understand, but I understand even more that if I don’t recover quickly, the Feng family will fall into the hands of those people. They only care about their immediate interests and don’t consider the future.”
If the royal family were to close down, they would immediately relinquish their shares, sell the Feng family property to the royal family, and take a small share of the money to live a carefree life.
I absolutely cannot let that happen!
Cough cough—cough cough—"
Feng Yao grew angrier and angrier as he spoke, and even started coughing!
Xia Yue was afraid that her brother's old problem would relapse, so she quickly patted his shoulder to comfort him, "Alright, don't worry about this, I'll think of a solution."
“But…cough cough…” Feng Yao started coughing again.
In a moment of inspiration, Xia Yue suddenly said, "I've got it! Doesn't the Feng family only respect you? If I use disguise to impersonate you, and you secretly heal your injuries, once you recover, we can switch back without anyone noticing, right?"
"You're impersonating me? What if you get caught?"
"My disguise technique is 99% foolproof, so you can rest assured!" Xia Yue guaranteed!
She only ever messed up in front of Gu Chen, and Gu Chen still needs her antidote to his embarrassment, so he definitely wouldn't dare expose her.
Xia Yue thought about it more and more and felt that this was feasible!
But before that, she had to do one thing to ensure success.
That is—
