When Yu Cheng returned from the hospital, Qi Yuexi was sitting on the sofa in the living room waiting for him. As soon as Yu Cheng entered the door, Qi Yuexi noticed that his eyes were red.
Even after such a long journey from the hospital to home, the redness in her eyes hadn't subsided; she had clearly been crying the whole way.
Although she was unhappy, Qi Yuexi dared not show it, after all, Yu Cheng's feelings for Yu Ting were no less than those for her, his mother.
It's one thing for them to bicker normally, but now that Yu Ting is seriously injured and hospitalized, if she dares to show any dissatisfaction, Yu Cheng doesn't know what he'll do.
Qi Yuexi patiently asked, "How is your aunt?"
When Yu Ting was mentioned, the sadness in Yu Cheng's eyes deepened. "She was conscious, but only for a very short time. Fortunately, the car wasn't going too fast, otherwise the consequences would have been unpredictable."
"That's good." Qi Yuexi turned around and called out to the distance, "Aunt Li, bring up the snacks prepared for the young master."
The desserts served were all of Yu Cheng's favorites, but he didn't have much of an appetite right now.
Yu Cheng didn't flinch, but Qi Yuexi felt a pang of sadness in her heart. She continued to pretend to be calm, saying, "It's Friday today. Yu Yao and Yu Ze will be back for the weekend. They were overjoyed to hear you were back."
Yu Cheng nodded slightly. "Okay."
Mentioning her younger siblings, Qi Yuexi noticed that Yu Cheng's tone had softened, and continued, "The kitchen made you some soup, simmering it over a low flame. It'll be perfect for drinking tonight."
"Thank you, Mom!" Yu Cheng paused for a moment. "Have you contacted Jian Yu's people yet?"
Qi Yuexi's lips had just begun to curve into a smile when she heard Jian Yu's name, at which point she visibly froze.
Yu Cheng frowned as soon as he saw it. "You haven't found anyone yet?"
Qi Yuexi did not contact a private investigator, but she was unwilling to admit it, saying, "I haven't decided which one is suitable yet."
“I’ll look for it. I have a classmate who used to do this.”
"No need, the secretary should be replying soon." Qi Yuexi really wanted to urge Yu Cheng to return to school as soon as possible, but she knew she couldn't persuade him otherwise. "Don't delay your thesis."
“No, that won’t happen.” Yu Cheng said with some curiosity, “Mom, why did Jian Yu drop out of school? Without a diploma, she can’t find a good job. She must understand that.”
Qi Yuexi couldn't understand it either. Although she disliked Jian Yu's school, no matter how bad the school was, it couldn't be better than a good one. After thinking it over, Qi Yuexi felt that Jian Yu had a problem with her thinking. "She was originally wicked, and now that she has grown up and has money, she naturally goes out and learns bad things."
How much money did you give Jian Yu?
"..." Qi Yuexi said, "Don't mention it. The first person to discover your uncle's affair was Jian Yu. She told your aunt, which was a good thing for your aunt to be prepared. I just didn't expect that Jian Yu would be so greedy for money and use this to extort 500,000 yuan from your aunt."
"Jian Yu asked his aunt for a 500,000 yuan kickback?" Yu Cheng was very surprised. "When did this happen?"
"It was during the time last year when she wanted to break off the relationship. I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to be distracted from your studies."
Yu Cheng's face clearly showed a hint of disgust. "Is Jian Yu obsessed with money?"
500,000 is not even worth the price of one of his figurines. Is it worth using that as leverage to negotiate?
What angered Yu Cheng the most was that when Jian Yu discovered this, instead of standing up for his aunt, he only wanted to ask for a kickback.
"Growing up in an orphanage, he's cold-hearted and selfish." This was the first time Yu Cheng had expressed such a harsh assessment of Jian Yu.
In the past, no matter what his family said, even if Yu Cheng already felt disgusted, he never directly complained.
This time, he was clearly furious.
After two days, Qi Yuexi finally found a topic that aligned with Yu Cheng's.
He began to complain about Jian Yu to Yu Cheng.
Yu Cheng's brows furrowed more and more. Finally, Qi Yuexi's mouth was dry from talking, and Yu Cheng took the opportunity to get up. "I'll go back to my room to rest for a while. Wait for Yu Yao and Yu Ze to come back and call me."
Qi Yuexi looked at him with concern, "You must be tired! Go upstairs quickly!"
Yu Cheng had only taken two steps when he heard Yu Yao's voice, so he sat down again.
When Yu Yao got out of the car, she didn't look well, and it was unclear who she was.
They've been targeting her lately, causing her to keep getting into trouble at school.
In the past, she would have endless invitations to turn down every weekend.
All the boys in the school considered it an honor to ask her out, and they would fight tooth and nail for a smile from her.
Recently, for some reason, a lot of negative information about her has appeared on the school forum.
The kind that you can't delete completely.
She also hired someone to investigate the poster, but the IP address was hidden, so it was impossible to find out who it was.
Today's scandal is related to Jian Yu, saying that she kicked her sister out of the house over a necklace.
The accompanying picture is the one I received before, showing her wearing a necklace at the ball.
The posts on the forum were initially deleted by her suitors.
Ever since her bullying of a girl in junior high school, which led to the girl's expulsion from school was exposed, her suitors have stopped helping her delete the content.
She then asked Yu Ze to help her find someone to delete it. After doing this many times, Yu Ze also learned a lot of her secrets.
Yu Ze probably saw the post too, but thankfully he didn't say anything.
As soon as Yu Yao entered the living room and saw Yu Cheng, her mood finally improved a little.
She threw herself into Yu Cheng's arms, "Brother, I missed you so much!"
Yu Cheng put his arm around her and said, "You must be tired! Sit down and rest."
"Brother, I heard from Mom that you're going to help out at Aunt's company?"
“Now that things have come to this, my aunt and uncle have to get a divorce. Their company was originally built on my aunt's dowry, so it's only right that they help her get it back.”
Yu Yao doesn't like Yu Ting, and Yu Ting doesn't really like Yu Yao either.
Yu Yao didn't seem to care much about Yu Ting's injury.
Compared to Yu Ting, Yu Yao disliked Jian Yu even more. As soon as she got back, she couldn't wait to complain, "Brother, do you know? Jian Yu actually extorted 500,000 yuan from Aunt, then dropped out of school and took the money to go out and have fun."
Yu Cheng sighed heavily, "Jian Yu went too far this time."
"Isn't that right? Even though Mom was trying to figure out how to correct her bad habits, she never appreciated it once."
Just then, Yu Ze came in.
With her three favorite children by her side, Qi Yuexi's mood became very pleasant. "Alright, let's not talk about Jian Yu anymore. Wash your hands, we'll prepare dinner in a bit."
Qi Yuexi personally supervised Aunt Li and the others as they served the dishes, constantly putting food on their plates and serving soup for them at the dinner table.
The meal was a pleasant one. When Yu Hao returned, Yu Cheng was lying on the sofa laughing heartily, amused by Yu Ze's joke.
Yu Cheng spent a week working at Zhiting Group and gradually figured out a lot of company secrets.
With the involvement of Yu's Group, a leading enterprise, Zhao Zhi quickly discovered that his proud methods were utterly inadequate in the face of profit.
The major shareholders of Zhiting Group do not only own shares in Zhiting Group. Under the pretext of cooperating with them in other businesses, Yu quickly won them over.
They then pressured him to step down and give way to a more capable person.
Zhao Zhi had to admit that a large part of the reason he was able to build such a large company was because of the influence of the Yu family.
He should have been able to escape the ridicule of being a live-in son-in-law of the Yu family in a few years, but now everything has changed.
Based on Zhao Zhi's understanding of Yu Zhentian, once Yu Zhentian and Yu Ting have finished dividing their assets, Zhao Zhi will begin to harass and suppress him, inevitably leaving him with nothing.
When Zhao Zhi founded the company, he chose an industry that the Yu family had not been involved in in order to prevent this day from coming.
Unexpectedly, when the Yu family seized the opportunity, he still had no chance to fight back.
After much deliberation, Zhao Zhi decided to start with Yu Cheng and appeal to his emotions.
Yu Cheng is young, but he's not so easily fooled.
Moreover, he hated Zhao Zhi intensely because of Yu Ting's injury.
That day, Yu Cheng and Zhao Zhi parted on bad terms. Yu Cheng was worried that Zhao Zhi would go to the hospital to find Yu Ting, so he stayed at the hospital for most of the day.
Yu Ting was staying in a VIP ward, where she was guarded by both caregivers and bodyguards.
Zhao Zhi ran into obstacles for several days in a row.
Zhao Zhi drove away from the hospital dejectedly. When he reached the intersection, he happened to see Jian Yu crossing the pedestrian crossing.
It was Jian Yu who told Yu Ting that he had cheated on her.
If it weren't for Jian Yu's meddling, he would still be a successful CEO, instead of being in such a chaotic state now.
Zhao Zhi became increasingly angry as he thought about it, and by the time he realized what was happening, he had already stepped on the gas.
Jian Yu was very familiar with the cars driven by Yu Hao and the others. When Zhao Zhigang stopped at a red light, Jian Yu took a second look at the car because he recognized it.
I just didn't see the people in the car.
Jian Yu didn't think much of it, assuming it was just the same model.
Jian Yu walks slowly to begin with, and the green light at this intersection is very short, so after regaining her attention, Jian Yu started jogging.
Just as Jian Yu ran away, Zhao Zhi's car rushed out.
The car grazed Jian Yu's heel as it passed by. Jian Yu instinctively turned around to look and caught Zhao Zhi's sinister gaze.
Their eyes met, and Zhao Zhi turned the steering wheel, leaving behind a smoking car trail.
Jian Yu made a quick decision and dialed the police.
The police quickly retrieved the intersection video footage. Zhao Zhi was stopped at the intersection waiting for the red light when Jian Yu happened to pass by. He glanced at Zhao Zhi's car, then looked up at the green light. At almost the same time, Jian Yu sped up and ran, and Zhao Zhi's car shot out like an arrow.
The police officer broke out in a cold sweat when he saw the car glide past him.
"The little girl is incredibly lucky. Investigate Zhao Zhi's whereabouts immediately and bring him here."
