Chapter 269 The favorability rating was lowered by her own grandfather
Yunzhi's gaze shifted to the woman standing next to her father, wearing a dark green cheongsam. The woman's jet-black hair was styled in large curls, and she wore a necklace of imperial green jade beads around her neck. She also wore matching earrings that swayed with her every movement. The dark green cheongsam was embroidered with delicate gold thread depicting bamboo leaves swaying in the wind.
Her willow-leaf eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and there were fine lines at the corners of her eyes that were barely noticeable unless you looked closely. Her features were delicate and had been polished by time to a unique charm. She pursed her lips, and at this moment, her beautiful eyes, which were exactly the same as Yunzhi's, were looking at Old Master Cheng with displeasure.
"Mom...Dad..."
The moment Yunzhi saw Yunmu, the tears that had been welling up in her eyes finally burst forth. Large teardrops streamed from her eyes, making Yunmu and Yunfu's hearts ache.
So, while their elders are away, this old man is bullying their child, isn't he?
Even Yun Yun, who was watching the show from the sidelines, turned cold.
He was watching the show because he wanted to see how his parents would react when they found out that Yunzhi, their precious jade cabbage, had been sacrificed to a pig, not because he wanted to see the Cheng family bully their precious jade cabbage. He wouldn't even dare to bully their precious jade cabbage, so what right did this old man have? Just because he was old?
The old man felt a chill run down his spine as he was stared at by three people. Just by looking at the faces of Yun's parents, the old man knew who they were: Yun Zhi's father and mother, who were also the current heads of the overseas Yun Group. No, why was there no news of Yun's parents returning? They were as elusive as their son.
The old man gritted his teeth, already regretting his impulsive actions. If he had known Yunzhi's parents would be coming today, he wouldn't have... The old man glanced at Yunzhi, who was already in tears beside him, and wanted to shout that he was innocent. No, where did this sharp-tongued girl go? How come she's like a completely different person now that her parents are here?
Before Old Master Cheng could even utter the word "misunderstanding," Mother Yun had already walked over and hugged Yunzhi tightly. She turned around and glared at Old Master Cheng, "Who are you? Just because we're not here, does that mean you can bully our child like this? Don't think that just because you're old you can bully people at will. Although the Yun Group's focus hasn't shifted back to China, it's not like we don't have people we can use."
The core technologies they planned to bring back to China alone were highly sought after, not to mention that the Yun Group was a major taxpayer abroad and would also boost the country's GDP after returning. Originally, the Yun Group had been developing in Country Y for so many years and had no intention of leaving its home base. However, a certain leader in China called them, and they agreed to return to China because of their patriotism.
He had promised that as long as the Yun family conglomerate overseas agreed to return to China, all procedures would be expedited. But what happened? Just because they didn't come back, their precious daughter was bullied at will.
The more Mica thought about it, the angrier she became.
Of course, Old Master Cheng knew that the Yun family had such confidence and ability. He had only threatened Yun Zhi because he saw that she was alone and helpless and the Yun family was not around. Who knew that he would be caught red-handed by the Yun family.
If things really fall apart with the Yun family, who knows who will ultimately suffer the consequences?
"That's not how it is..." Just as the old man was about to explain, Yun Yun quietly exposed his identity, "Mom and Dad, this person is Cheng Shuyan's grandfather. By the way, Cheng Shuyan is the person lying on the hospital bed in the back, and he is also the one who saved Zhizhi."
Upon hearing this, Yun's parents' gratitude towards Cheng Shuyan for saving Yunzhi vanished in an instant. They frowned and glanced at Cheng Shuyan, who was still lying motionless and unconscious on the hospital bed. At the same time, they thought to themselves, "If a grandfather can be like this, then this grandson must be no good either. How could Zhizhi be saved by such a person? When he wakes up, we must give him as much compensation as possible. We must not let Zhizhi be taken advantage of by this person."
While in a coma, Cheng Shuyan's future in-laws' good impression of him was thus diminished by his own grandfather.
If Cheng Shuyan knew, he would probably be so angry that he would wake up right now.
"Hehe, could it be that because your grandson saved our Zhizhi, you feel confident enough to treat her like this? We are grateful that your grandson saved our Zhizhi, but that's one thing and that's another. It's not a reason for you to bully our Zhizhi. The Cheng family, right? For the sake of your grandson saving our Zhizhi, whatever compensation or reward you want, just say the word. We'll satisfy you as long as it's within our power."
Yunmu sneered, looking at Cheng Shuyan and his grandfather with disdain. As the most noblewoman in Y Country, Yunmu had never been bullied like this before.
Her first reaction was to make Zhizhi sever all ties with such people and such families.
Grandpa Cheng never expected that, in his old age, someone would still talk to him about compensation, and with such a condescending attitude. The old man was furious and finally understood why this girl was so sharp-tongued and could twist the truth.
It turns out it's all genetic.
This was the first time Old Master Cheng had been spoken to like that by a woman.
He took a deep breath. If it weren't for the status of Yun's parents, he would never have let this go so easily.
“You’ve misunderstood. I spoke to Yunzhi nicely at first, but she wouldn’t agree. I’m practically half-buried, would I argue with a little girl? I was just so angry. I just wanted to transfer my grandson to another hospital, but this little girl absolutely refused.”
The old man paused for a moment before revealing the unusual relationship between Cheng Shuyan and Yunzhi.
"Also, Yunzhi and our Shuyan are dating, which should have been a wonderful thing, and as her grandfather, I would have welcomed it with open arms. But the problem is, I consulted a master recently. The master said that the girl's birth chart clashes with our Shuyan's, and that there would definitely be problems if they were together. Our silly boy didn't believe it, and even broke off relations with his grandfather to be with her. But what happened? He was in a car accident just a few days ago and hasn't woken up yet."
When Yun's parents first heard that Grandpa Cheng only wanted to transfer to another hospital, they frowned. After all, Grandpa Cheng was Cheng Shuyan's grandfather, and it was understandable that he wanted to transfer hospitals because he believed he could give him better treatment. But why didn't Yun Zhi agree? The more they listened, the more something seemed off. What about dating? What about incompatible birth charts? How come they didn't know that?
