Chapter 068 Legacy 5

After going through three dungeons, Yu Zhen is now very sensitive to similar things.

Although she doesn't know why there are people with strange behaviors in every dungeon, Yu Zhen still feels that she should not indulge these NPCs.

"Forget about Xiang Yan," Yu Zhen said unsatisfactorily, "I just treat it as an act and sacrifice myself a little."

"But what is he going to do?"

Yu Zhen looked at the not-so-serious Xiang Youyan in front of her with vigilance, and her whole body was tense with tension.

"Your father is still here..." Yu Nan walked to the bed slowly, put her fingers on the bed, and was very close to the unconscious Xiang Yan, "What do you want to do?"

Xiang Youyan laughed in a muffled voice, and didn't know if Yu Nan's warning worked, he didn't do anything else, as if he had never done anything out of line just now, and pulled out a chair and sat on the other side.

"Why are you so nervous?" Xiang Youyan said, "What do you think I should do?"

Yu Nan had a cold face, and sat opposite Xiang Youyan without saying anything. She

is so cute even with a cold face.

Xiang Youyan moved his fingers, and felt that the finger joints where he had just smoked were itchy again, and he always wanted to touch something.

Yu Xi married here alone, and she has no other background. Xiang Youyan is not worried that he will take advantage of Xiang Yan's serious illness to do something.

And the reason why he took time out of his busy schedule to come here was just to test his father's attitude.

Although Xiang Yan values ​​him, there is no father-son relationship between them.

Xiang Youyan's eyes slowly fell on Xiang Yan, who was lying on the hospital bed with a pale face, and suddenly he was moved.

His father's health has always been good, but he aged quickly after entering his forties, and he has had frequent accidents in recent years.

His father controls 60% of the shares of Yuanyang Group, and all other sub-industries of the entire Xiang family are also in his father's hands.

Xiang Yousen is not competitive, and Xiang Youyan only needs to be wary of other relatives of the Xiang family.

But in general, the right of inheritance is basically a done deal.

...But, what should be done with the young stepmother in front of him who is only in her early twenties?

Xiang Youyan stared at his father's still handsome face, not at all old.

Without Xiang Yan's protection, a beautiful widow with an empty head...what will happen is almost imaginable.

Yu Zhen felt that the atmosphere was particularly strange since Xiang Youyan entered the ward.

He pretended to be busy and carefully sneaked into the bathroom, and naturally missed the strange look that Xiang Youyan suddenly cast on him.

If Yu Zhen really has to be a widow at such a young age...he doesn't mind being a successor.

Thinking of this, Xiang Youyan almost laughed out loud in front of his unconscious father.

.

In the second half of the night, Yu Yan couldn't help but fall asleep.

Before she completely lost consciousness, System 08 actually offered to guard the door for Yu Yan for the first time.

Because Xiang Youyan was outside and hadn't left yet, Yu Yan had been worried and didn't dare to sleep. Only after System 08 said this did she finally fall into a deep sleep. She slept

soundly this time, and was finally awakened by the quarrel outside.

Unable to hear the outside sounds through the door, Yu Yan's eyelashes trembled, her head was still confused, and she didn't know what happened outside for a while.

[Xiang Yan woke up.]

...What?

Yu Nu was startled, and suddenly woke up because of the system's words, and jumped out of bed.

Xiang Yan was staying in the high-end ward of the hospital, and Yu Nu stayed overnight in the inner suite.

"... Dad has been sick for such a long time and you didn't come to see him... It's not that your brother said you..."

"It will be very hard for Mom to

be alone in the hospital." "——Dad! Dad! Don't be angry with your brother anymore."

After Yu Nu washed up, she heard the noise outside became much louder, and Xiang Youyan's clear and somewhat anxious voice came:

"Brother, apologize to Dad."

Xiang Yousen is here too?

Yu Nu hesitated for a moment, and finally opened the door.

Xiang Yan had woken up as expected, leaning on the bed with a cold and tired face, looking at Xiang Yousen who was bowing his head and not saying a word with a bit of obvious disgust.

The movement of Yu Zhen opening the door startled the three people outside.

Xiang Youyan stopped talking immediately.

Xiang Yan subconsciously restrained the expression on his face, and smiled faintly at Yu Zhen as if nothing had happened, and waved to people, "Come here."

Yu Zhen walked forward obediently.

But when passing by Xiang Yousen who lowered his head, Yu Zhen seemed to smell a strange smell.

"Did I wake you up?" Xiang Yan pulled Yu Zhen's palm and felt the soft touch on his hand, "It's Youyan and Yousen's fault, I'll ask them to keep the noise down, you go to sleep for a while?"

Yu Zhen saw the clock on the wall, "It's almost noon, I don't want to sleep."

Xiang Yan just smiled and said nothing.

Although Xiang Youyan, who was standing by, had gradually gotten used to his father's deliberate display of affection, he was still secretly surprised when he heard Xiang Yan asking Yu Yu to go back to sleep.

Xiang Yan's schedule was always strict, and he was even stricter when teaching Xiang Youyan and Xiang Yousen. If they slept too much, Xiang Yan would definitely punish them.

- But now he was coaxing his wife to sleep a little longer in front of his two sons.

Everyone in the ward had different thoughts, but Xiang Yousen was the only one who still looked wooden, with his thin-framed glasses covering his emotions and his hair hanging messily in front of his forehead.

Yu Zhen looked at Xiang Yusen and asked curiously, "Why are you lecturing people again?"

Xiang Yan's face darkened when he mentioned this, but he was unwilling to say anything more in front of Yu Zhen. He only said, "Yu Yan has been busy with the group's affairs these days, and you have to accompany me in the hospital. Only my eldest son... I don't know what he has been doing these days. I can't even see his shadow."

Yu Zhen suddenly realized.

It turned out to be because of such a trivial matter.

He snorted lightly, "I've caught you twice. You just had surgery, how come you still can't control your temper?"

While speaking, Yu Xi secretly observed Xiang Yousen's expression, "... You, Yousen may have a lot of things to do, so don't always blame him."

See, he is still a very good elder. He

cares about his son even more than Xiang Yan.

Yu Xi was a little proud, and what she said was indeed pure and simple. She didn't know what she said, "Don't be too partial as a father."

As soon as the voice fell, the ward was silent.

Xiang Youyan showed a just right confusion and embarrassment on his face, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

No one has ever dared to talk to his father like this.

With such a blatant accusation, how could his father not be angry?

But to their surprise, before Yu Nuan could react, Xiang Yan actually laughed calmly, as if he had long been accustomed to Yu Nuan's natural accusations. He nodded obediently to his wife, as if coaxing a child, "Yes, Xiao Nuan is right."

He looked at Xiang Yousen who was bowing his head again, and his smile faded a lot, "Why don't you thank your mother."

Xiang Yusen, who had not spoken a word, finally spoke, "Thank... you." He

did not call her mother.

Yu Nuan certainly didn't care. In fact, every time he was called mother by these two "sons", he felt uncomfortable.

But Xiang Yousen didn't call Yu Nuan mother, which made Xiang Yan even angrier.

"How can you talk like that!" Xiang Yan was completely furious, his entire upper body sat up, and the infusion needle in his hand almost bled, "This is your mother...you! Cough cough cough..."

Xiang Youyan quickly stepped forward to support his furious father, and Xiang Yousen on the opposite side lowered his head even more.

Yu Nu pressed the call bell, and soon the doctors and nurses hurried in to re-examine Xiang Yan, who was coughing non-stop.

Xiang Yan's face looked even worse, but Xiang Yousen, who was lowering his head, also looked a little off.

In the messy crowd, only Yu Nu noticed that there was a little blood on the white shirt button sticking out from Xiang Yousen's sleeve.

Xiang Yousen stood alone in the corner and coughed softly, but the sound was drowned out by the doctors' discussion.

While Xiang Youyan was taking care of Xiang Yan, Yu Nu walked up to Xiang Yousen and whispered, "Are you feeling unwell? Why is your face so pale?"

The fragrant scent instantly filled Xiang Yousen's nose.

Xiang Yousen blinked his eyes under the glasses and moved his fingers uncomfortably, "...It's okay."

His voice was hoarse and sounded unnatural.

Yu Nu was even more puzzled, and she lowered her head slightly along the line of sight, leaned over and looked directly at Xiang Yousen's face.

- His lips were pale, his cheeks were bloodless, but there was an abnormal blush on his forehead.

"You have a fever?" Yu Xi lowered her voice, "Why didn't you tell me just now?"

Not only did he not tell me, he didn't even refute Xiang Yan's scolding, he just stood there like a piece of wood.

If Yu Xi hadn't discovered the blood on his cuffs, Xiang Yousen would have fainted on the spot with such a fever, and no one would have noticed that he was sick.

While the doctor was still busy, Xiang Yan on the bed seemed to be dizzy again, so Yu Xi took Xiang Yousen to see a doctor.

Xiang Yousen didn't say a word the whole time, he just followed Yu Xi silently.

The fever was naturally because the wound on his back caused by Xiang Yan was infected.

Xiang Yan had just beaten someone yesterday, and Xiang Yousen was beaten very badly, so he needed to rest.

It's just that Xiang Yan was hospitalized suddenly, and Xiang Yousen had been in a coma at home, so he rushed to the hospital after waking up without receiving treatment.

As a result, Xiang Yan was furious because Xiang Yousen didn't rush to the hospital in time.

Yu Nu, who was watching the doctor applying medicine to Xiang Yousen, couldn't help frowning repeatedly, and the room was full of a strong smell of blood.

...Why did he beat him so hard?

When the gauze was wrapped around his back, Yu Nu's face turned pale and he stood far away from Xiang Yousen, "...was it all done by Xiang Yan?"

Xiang Yousen put on his glasses again before looking up at Yu Nu and nodded silently.

He curled his fingers and sat opposite Yu Zhen with his legs crossed. He seemed a little embarrassed, but he spoke very seriously, "Thank you... Mom."

Yu Zhen's face flushed.

"Father... never liked me," Xiang Yousen stared at the floor, as if he didn't dare to look Yu Zhen in the eye, "He liked my brother more... As for my biological mother, she didn't want me a long time ago... So, no one has ever cared about me."

After saying this, Xiang Yousen slowly raised his head and looked at Yu Zhen seriously through the glasses, "... You, you are the first person who cares about me like this."

His voice was choked with sobs.

Yu Zhen finally began to feel sorry for Xiang Yousen.

The figure of the man in front of her was not much different from Xiang Youyan, even his eyebrows and eyes were vaguely similar, but he looked more gentle with glasses, lacking a lot of the aggression that was unique to Xiang Youyan and Xiang Yan.

As an eldest son marginalized by his father and younger brother, Yu Xi couldn't help but wonder how Xiang Yousen had survived in the Xiang family all these years.

After Xiang Yousen finished speaking, he lowered his head with red eyes.

Yu Xi sniffed and couldn't help but raise her hand to rub Xiang Yousen's hair like she was petting a puppy.

Xiang Yousen seemed even more shy and kept his legs tightly together.

After

Xiang Yan's condition was completely stabilized, Xiang Youyan closed the door as his father indicated.

"Where's Xiao Niang?"

Xiang Youyan said respectfully, "Mother saw the injuries on big brother's body and took him to see a doctor next door."

Xiang Yan leaned his head back slightly and sighed for a long time.

"Xiao Niang is always kind."

This sentence seemed to be said to Xiang Youyan, but it was more like said to himself.

Xiang Youyan just listened quietly, like a normal son listening to his father praising his stepmother.

But what Xiang Yan said next made Xiang Youyan's heart tremble.

"I'm sorry Xiao Niang."

Xiang Youyan tried hard to show a natural expression, but his heart was beating wildly as if he had a premonition of something.

"...Dad?"

Xiang Yan didn't say anything. After a moment, he slowly stood up and slowly took out a piece of paper from under the pillow.

"Your stepmother and I haven't got the marriage certificate yet," Xiang Yan said suddenly, "...We just had a wedding, nothing else."

...So.

Xiang Youyan couldn't hide his expression at all this time, and looked at Xiang Yan in a daze.

"Although I love him, I..." Xiang Yan frowned deeply, and in an instant he looked much older, "I used to be very wary of Xiao Niang."

As expected.

Xiang Youyan understood his father's mentality too well.

Even though Xiang Yan had a huge business empire, he would still feel depressed when facing a lover like Yu Zhen who was beautiful and had an unusual personality.

Perhaps Xiang Yan was still excited after Yu Zhen agreed to pursue him, but the joy was followed by endless self-doubt.

He would doubt why Yu Zhen agreed, and whether he chose him because of money.

This mentality prompted Xiang Yan to be suspicious. On the one hand, he controlled his lover's freedom and didn't want him to meet any potential competitors. On the other hand, he had to hold on to the only thing he could afford - money, trying to use this only bargaining chip to keep Yu Zhen firmly by his side.

Xiang Yan and Yu Zhen were almost twenty years apart, and Yu Zhen was even younger than Xiang Youyan.

His lover bloomed like a flower beside him, attracting the attention of countless young men. However, Xiang Yan could clearly feel his body weakening, and he felt more and more embarrassed with Yu Zhen as a backdrop.

Xiang Yan looked deeply at the heir in front of him whom he had nurtured.

- She was also the only person he could trust at present.

"Xiao Zhen is your stepmother," Xiang Yan said, "She has no thoughts, she is pure and innocent. She is willing to be with me even if she is not my legal wife..."

"My health has been getting worse after the car accident," Xiang Yan handed the paper to Xiang Youyan, which was his will, "In case something happens to me before the plan, I need you to promise me two things."

Yuanyang Group... just got it like this?

Xiang Youyan thought he would be ecstatic, but in fact, after seeing this will, he had no emotion at all.

What did his father want him to do?

"First, complete the legal procedures for me to prove that Xiao Niang and I are a legal couple and I am his only husband."

"Second, after inheriting the inheritance, you must take care of Xiao Niang as an elder and cannot neglect her."

Xiang Yan lay back down.

"...This is my only wish."

- To become a legal couple with Yu Niang, a real couple.

Xiang Youyan was quiet for a while, and no one knew what he thought in these few short seconds.

Finally, facing his father's serious gaze, Xiang Youyan took the will and agreed to his request.

I will take good care of... Xiao Niang for you.

Xiang Youyan narrowed his eyes.
