Chapter 320 Can't You Do It?
In an instant, the noisy ward, which had just been like a market, fell silent. Cheng Shuyan looked at the elderly man lying on the hospital bed, his eyes lowered. The next second, his cool but unyielding voice rang out in the quiet ward, "I'll arrange for Grandpa to be transferred to another hospital in a bit."
"Why should I! Big brother, don't forget that you've severed ties with Grandpa. I know you still hold a grudge against Grandpa and want to take revenge on him while he's unconscious, right? Big brother, I never thought you were this kind of person. Don't forget how much Grandpa has nurtured you all these years."
Cheng Huaiyou cried out in surprise, and stepped forward to block the old man's bedside, looking at Cheng Shuyan with a wary expression.
Cheng Huaiyou suspected Cheng Shuyan's motives were malicious, that he wanted to prevent Cheng Shuyan from taking the old man away. He also wanted to find an opportunity to make the old man disappear from the world completely. If the old man was transferred to another hospital by Cheng Shuyan, how could he do anything? Maybe when the old man woke up, he would be moved and make up with Cheng Shuyan. Then he would get nothing.
No, no! He must stop Cheng Shuyan from taking the old man away.
The second uncle snorted coldly, "Your grandfather fell into a coma because of you, and now you know to come and show filial piety. If you are really filial, then listen to your grandfather from now on and cut ties with those shady people outside. No matter what, you represent the Cheng family's reputation, so don't let outsiders laugh at you."
"A scoundrel." Cheng Shuyan scoffed lightly, then looked up at his second uncle.
"You've described the eldest daughter of the Yun family, the richest family in Country Y, as a disreputable person. Second Uncle, you're getting old, and we can understand if you say something incoherent sometimes, but the Yun family might not. The Bai family offended the Yun family last time, and now they're begging the Yun family to spare their lives. But I don't care. I just don't know if your son's small companies will be retaliated against."
Second Uncle's face turned pale. He was old, but not stupid. At his level, he certainly couldn't get in touch with Yunzhi and the Yun family. However, he knew that Bai's company stock had almost hit the daily limit down in just ten days. Everyone was saying that Bai had offended someone, but he didn't even know who that person was. It turned out to be the woman Cheng Shuyan had fallen out with outside the Cheng family.
If he really were the daughter of the richest man in Country Y, what would the eldest brother be hesitating for? If it were him, he would have already packed up his son and sent him over. Thinking of his own good-for-nothings, especially the eldest son, the second uncle was furious.
The second uncle opened his mouth, but then reluctantly shut it. The third and fourth sons were already unhappy about having to pay off their eldest son's debts. If he offended someone he shouldn't have because of his loose tongue, causing their small company to go out of business, his sons would definitely turn against him and might even sever ties with him like Cheng Shuyan did.
"Honestly, none of them are learning anything good." The second uncle muttered under his breath. Cheng Shuyan didn't hear him and didn't care. He looked at Cheng Huaiyou indifferently and said, "Cheng Huaiyou, don't forget, you are from a collateral branch and have no right to say no."
The word "collateral branch" stung Cheng Huaiyou.
Cheng Huaiyou was already so jealous of Cheng Shuyan's incredible luck in gaining Yunzhi's favor that he was practically tearing his body apart. After all, Yunzhi was the richest man in Y country!
Moreover, he had seen Yunzhi's photos; she was incredibly beautiful. How could such a rich and beautiful fairy have fallen for Cheng Shuyan? He hadn't even gotten over his anger yet when Cheng Shuyan precisely touched on the very thing he least wanted to talk about: the collateral branches of the family.
Why is it that I was born into a collateral branch while Cheng Shuyan is a direct descendant? Cheng Huaiyou has gone mad more than once in the middle of the night. If he were a direct descendant... if he were a direct descendant, would he need to be so humble? Cheng Shuyan is so lucky but doesn't know it. He occupies the position of a direct descendant, yet he dares to sever ties with the main family.
Cheng Huaiyou tried to replace him more than once.
"Hehe, big brother, even if I'm from a collateral branch, I'm the only person Grandpa trusts now. You've already severed ties with Grandpa. Strictly speaking, the two of you have no relationship anymore. You said it yourself, big brother, are you going to go back on your word?" Cheng Huaiyou spoke slowly and deliberately, staring intently at Cheng Shuyan as he spoke.
Cheng Shuyan frowned, took out his phone, and said, "Then I'll have Xi Rao come over."
Cheng Xirao is Cheng Shuyan's younger sister and a direct descendant, so she is naturally more qualified than Cheng Huaiyou to decide whether or not the old man should be transferred to another hospital.
Cheng Shuyan was insistent on transferring the old man to another hospital because he was worried that Cheng Huaiyou would take advantage of everyone's distraction and try to harm the old man again.
Even though he had arranged for people to help the old man, there were bound to be times when things went wrong. Although he and the old man had almost fallen out recently, he still couldn't bear to watch the old man be murdered.
The safest way is to transfer him to a hospital under his own name, right under his nose. Even if Cheng Huaiyou wanted to take action, he would have to think twice.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Huaiyou's breathing became heavy. He was panting heavily, his eyes bulging outwards. His already sharp and mean appearance became even more unbearable to look at. In his emotional outburst, he raised his hand and slapped the phone out of Cheng Shuyan's hand. The phone fell freely, and with a snap, the screen turned into a spider web.
At this moment, the ward became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Cheng Shuyan raised his eyes, his clear black and white eyes carrying an imposing aura. With just one glance, Cheng Huaiyou's aura weakened by more than half. His eyes darted around, but Cheng Huaiyou quickly realized what he was afraid of! He used to be half a head shorter than Cheng Shuyan, and he was still half a head shorter than Cheng Shuyan now. Did he have to be half a head shorter than Cheng Shuyan for the rest of his life?
No, no, absolutely not.
Cheng Huaiyou's expression instantly hardened. He straightened his chest and remained unyielding.
"It's just a cell phone! What's the big deal? I'll compensate you. I'm doing this for Grandpa's safety. Who knows what you might do to Grandpa? Can you guarantee that nothing will happen to Grandpa after he's transferred to another hospital? If you can guarantee that, I'll agree to the transfer."
Who can guarantee such a thing? Cheng Shuyan was certain that if he agreed to Cheng Huaiyou's promise, there would be countless troubles to come. If Cheng Huaiyou got his promise, he would definitely find an opportunity to attack the old man and then smear him.
This isn't a promise; it's clearly just creating an opportunity for Cheng Huaiyou.
Cheng Shuyan glanced at his grandfather lying on the hospital bed with a ventilator still attached, but didn't say anything. A smug look flashed in Cheng Huaiyou's eyes. He raised his chin slightly and said, "Big brother, you can't even keep this promise, can you? It concerns Grandpa's safety. It's just a matter of a word from you."
