Chapter 989 Negotiation
The old man must do what he promised his granddaughter.
Although this is actually not easy to say.
He arrived at Cheng Zhiyuan's ward, but the person who came to greet him was Cheng Yuqing with an indifferent expression.
The powerful woman who had never married and had always taken care of the Cheng family and Commander Cheng looked at her father's friend with a cold expression, but did not show much respect.
After hearing what Huo Chengde said, she curled her lips in a mocking manner.
"Mr. Huo, I'm a straightforward person, I hope you don't mind."
"Although you and my father are old friends, Zhiyuan is the only heir of our Cheng family. If he falls, it is almost obvious what will become of the Cheng family."
"So I believe you should understand how important he is to the Cheng family."
“And it was Cheng Zhiyuan, who carried the entire family on his shoulders, who abandoned everything, even his own life, between life and death, and chose to keep Shen Pianpian safe.”
"I thought Xia Yunduan was enough, but I never expected that another Shen Pianpian would appear, and he is also related to your Huo family."
Cheng Yuqing's fingers lightly pinched the buttons on his sleeves and played with them, and he said lightly as if jokingly,
“To be honest, I really don’t like Miss Shen right now.”
"She is too dangerous for our Cheng family."
The woman raised her eyes and stared at the old man, her eyes directly
“In fact, even if I wake up, I will definitely try my best to keep Zhi away from Miss Shen.”
"Of course it would be best if we could sever the relationship."
"So I'm sorry, I can't agree to your request."
The woman bowed slightly to Huo Chengde, then turned and was about to leave.
The old man looked at her back and spoke softly in a hoarse voice as she was about to enter the ward.
"You know it's impossible,"
Cheng Yuqing's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he heard the old man behind him continue,
"If you could influence Cheng Zhiyuan's choice, he wouldn't return to the imperial capital."
"No one can make the decision for him, not even Old Cheng. So you, the Cheng family, can only watch helplessly as he steps down without hesitation, letting go of the immense power that was about to be his."
"This is also thanks to your granddaughter!"
Cheng Yuqing turned around suddenly, and the woman who had been exhausted by Cheng Zhiyuan's constant ups and downs in the past few days finally had tears in her eyes.
"If it weren't for Xia Yunduan, he wouldn't be like this now!"
Huo Chengde was able to humble himself enough to talk to a junior until now. After hearing her fierce words, he finally couldn't help but turn cold.
"My daughter's death was also related to your Cheng family!"
Huo Chengde's eyes were cold and full of the oppressive power of a superior. He stared at Cheng Yuqing as if he was staring at a prey that didn't know whether to live or die.
"The Huo family never mentioned it in all these years, but they just followed my daughter's wishes. Do you really think I forgot?"
Cheng Yuqing was slightly startled and quickly frowned.
But the next moment Huo Chengde relaxed his brows a little and said lightly,
"But let's not talk about that now, even if it's just for Cheng Zhiyuan's sake."
“He is willing to die for Shen Pianxian, or maybe he will wake up for Shen Pianxian?”
"Even if it's just a try, you guys wouldn't be willing to do that?"
Cheng Yuqing was finally completely stunned, with conflicted emotions appearing in his eyes.
After a long while, she regained her composure. The corners of her eyes were still red, but her tone became calm.
"I'll ask my dad when he wakes up."
