twenty four
After leaving the ward, Yu Cheng and Ou Xiang each drove away from the hospital.
On the way home, I received a call from Yu Ting's nanny; Yu Ting had woken up.
Yu Cheng turned the car around and headed to Yu Ting's ward.
When Yu Ting saw Yu Cheng, tears welled up in her eyes instantly. She reached out and touched Yu Cheng's cheek, saying, "I've heard about it. Thank you for your hard work."
Yu Cheng said, "It's no trouble at all. Auntie, just focus on recovering. We'll take care of everything else."
Yu Ting pursed her lips, looking hesitant. Yu Cheng tentatively asked, "Does Aunt want to ask about Zhao Zhi?"
Since Yu Ting's accident, the Yu family has stopped addressing Zhao Zhi with respect, and the younger generation in Yucheng now call him by his given name.
"And him?"
"I've been busy with company matters lately. Because of your incident, the stock price has dropped significantly. The board of directors put Zhao Zhi in charge, and Zhao Zhi is currently overwhelmed. We took this opportunity to gain the support of many shareholders, and it won't be long before Zhao Zhi steps down from his position as CEO."
Where is Chu Yangyang?
"Zhao Zhi is protecting her from causing trouble, and we're too lazy to bother with her. Zhao Zhi is now thinking of a fight to the death. In order to protect your interests, try to get Zhao Zhi to agree to our property division plan. Once the property division is completed and you successfully complete the divorce procedures, Dad will find a way to completely kick him out of Zhiting Group. Without money, will Chu Yangyang still be so devoted to him?"
“Zhao Zhi cares most about face and money, so he won’t easily agree to your property division plan.”
He will agree.
Zhao Zhi is not without weaknesses, but doing so would cause considerable losses to the Zhiting Group.
Yu Cheng didn't want things to come to that.
"Call him here! I'll talk to him myself."
"No, what if he hurts you again?"
Yu Cheng was strongly opposed, but Yu Ting grabbed his arm and comforted him, "Don't worry, I know him better than any of you. I know how to persuade him to agree. I didn't do it before because I couldn't bear to let him go and wanted to continue the relationship. Now that I've experienced death, I've come to terms with it. It's better to separate."
Yu Ting will never forget the barely suppressed smugness on Zhao Zhi's face the moment she was hit by the car.
In her hazy state of consciousness, she vaguely heard Zhao Zhi's voice trying to stop the bodyguards from helping her.
Yu Ting always thought she loved Zhao Zhi so much that she would die for him, but when she actually faced death, she realized she was wrong.
Zhao Zhi received a call from Yu Cheng and rushed to the hospital, buying Yu Ting's favorite red roses on the way.
Zhao Zhi was prepared to be harassed, but to his surprise, Yu Cheng sat outside the ward and showed no intention of making things difficult for him.
Two middle-aged men in suits were sitting next to Yu Cheng. Zhao Zhi looked at them unfamiliarly and his heart began to pound. He stood outside the door without making a move.
When the nanny and caregiver saw Zhao Zhi, they immediately put down their work and came out.
Only one bodyguard remained in the entire ward.
Zhao Zhi glanced at him, and the bodyguard said, "The young master instructed me to stay inside."
Zhao Zhi couldn't help but feel secretly pleased. Yu Ting still loved him after all. She had kicked everyone out of the ward because she wanted to be alone with him and give him a way out so he could apologize properly.
After all, apologizing in public would be too damaging to his reputation as the boss.
Even at this point, Yu Ting was still considering his feelings.
Thinking this, Zhao Zhi instantly felt confident. So what if he's a bodyguard? Let him see it!
Zhao Zhi handed the roses to the bodyguard and said, "Put them in the vase."
The bodyguard took it and casually placed it on the table behind him.
A surge of anger welled up in Zhao Zhi's heart, but remembering his purpose, he suppressed it, turned around, walked to Yu Ting's bedside, grabbed her hand, and knelt on one knee, "Wife..."
It's unclear what the two talked about, but an hour later, Zhao Zhi stormed out of the room and left without looking back.
Seeing this, Yu Cheng ran into the ward, "Auntie, how are you?"
Yu Ting waved the documents in her hand. "All complete."
Yu Cheng handed the document to the two people behind him, saying, "Check it out. If there are no problems, then proceed as is."
After checking and confirming that there were no problems, the two took the documents and left.
Yu Ting's eyes were a little red, and she raised her hand to rub them, and tears came out.
Yu Cheng felt a pang of heartache. "Auntie."
Yu Ting smiled and said, "It's nothing. Do you think I'm stupid?"
Yu Cheng shook his head. "No."
“I know what you’re thinking. I really don’t want him to have nothing, but I can’t live with him anymore. Thirty percent of our shared property is already my biggest concession. Zhao Zhi knows that if we continue to hold out, he might not get that much. After weighing the options, he agreed.”
Yu Cheng remained silent.
“I promised him that as long as he signs, no one in the Yu family will be allowed to cause him any more trouble.”
"Aunt?" Yu Cheng couldn't swallow this insult; he felt it was too easy for Zhao Zhi.
Yu Ting said, "I have already agreed, and this is one of the conditions for the divorce."
Yu Cheng nodded helplessly.
The two chatted for a while longer, but Yu Ting was too tired to continue and had to rest.
Yu Cheng covered her with the blanket, gave the nanny a few instructions, and then left the hospital.
Yu Cheng called Yu Hao as he walked.
After hearing the whole story, Yu Hao remained calm. "Let's finish the divorce proceedings first. There's no rush with Zhao Zhi."
"But my aunt won't let me deal with Zhao Zhi."
“Zhao Zhi has really humiliated our family. If we don’t teach him a lesson, where will we put our face? Over the years, Zhao Zhi has offended a lot of people because of business matters. In the past, with the Yu family’s help, those people didn’t dare to do anything. But as soon as we spread the word, there are plenty of people to help deal with him. As long as he gets into trouble, he will try to take advantage of the stock market. Have someone keep an eye on him. Once he shows any signs of doing so, buy his stock at a low price.”
After Yu Hao finished speaking, he was about to hang up the phone.
Yu Cheng hurriedly said, "By the way, I saw Jian Yu today. She's sick and in the hospital."
"What happened?"
"The fever developed into pneumonia."
Yu Hao was about to say that it wasn't serious and let Jian Yu go home, but upon hearing this, he immediately changed his mind, "Isn't pneumonia contagious? Let's wait until she's better before letting her go home!"
“I want Aunt Li to go to the hospital to take care of Jian Yu. After all, she’s alone in the hospital and there’s no one to take care of her.”
"Then tell your mom that I'm going out of town for a couple of days and won't be coming home."
"Oh." Yu Cheng hung up the phone, feeling that something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Yu Cheng thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out, so he had to call Prime Minister Ou for help.
Ou Xiang understood immediately. "Normally, parents would be very anxious when they hear that their child is sick and hospitalized. They would at least go to the hospital to see the child, or at least make a phone call to check on them. Even if the child has someone with them, they would wish they could teleport there to comfort them. Take your illness, for example; that's a major event that can cause chaos in your family. I remember once, when your dad heard that you had a high fever, he rushed back by plane early. Now that Jian Yu is hospitalized with a fever, your dad should at least go see her! Even if he's in a hurry to discuss business, he could at least make a phone call to check on her, right?"
Yu Cheng finally understood what he found strange. In the past, when Jian Yu was sick, his family had been indifferent to him.
Because that was the situation from the beginning, he couldn't figure it out for a while.
"Furthermore, according to my investigation of Jian Yu at school, she is simply withdrawn and introverted, and has no other bad habits. Does your family have some misunderstandings about her?"
Yu Cheng shook his head, "Yu Yao saw her steal my mother's necklace with her own eyes, there is no misunderstanding."
"Perhaps she just wants to get your attention and hope you'll care more about her; she doesn't really want the necklace."
"Are you saying Jian Yu stole it on purpose?"
"It's just that possibility. People who like to steal usually don't change their habits just because they're in a different environment. Jian Yu doesn't have this habit in the dormitory or in class. It seems like the only possibility is that it was intentional. She probably just wanted to get your attention, but it backfired and turned into criticism."
Ou Xiang's unintentional explanation suddenly reminded Yu Cheng of something.
