Chapter 177 Parting
Chapter 177 Parting
Cheng Shuyan's silence made Ye Chengyan think that he had touched on his secret.
"President Cheng, would you like to reconsider? Or I could talk to Yun Zhi. I believe the Yun Group is also interested in Yu Guang's project, don't you think?"
"Get lost. I will never equate Zhizhi with profit." Cheng Shuyan quickly calmed down and looked coldly at Ye Chengyan. "Ye Chengyan, you'd better stay away from Zhizhi. You don't want to watch the commercial empire you built collapse, do you?"
The threat in Cheng Shuyan's voice made Ye Chengyan pause in his smile. He frowned and looked at Cheng Shuyan with a forced smile. After confirming that Cheng Shuyan was serious, he chuckled and put one hand in his pocket, exuding an aura of unrestrained arrogance.
"Cheng Shuyan, you just stole a few projects from me like a thief. I didn't want to argue with you before, but did you really think I couldn't do anything to you?"
"We'll see." Their eyes met, and sparks flew between them.
Cheng Shuyan turned and left. The moment he turned, Ye Chengyan's smile vanished, replaced by a sinister expression and a rare look of resentment.
He rarely wanted someone so much in his life.
Even if she were to be shattered to pieces, Yunzhi could only belong to him.
At that moment, Yunzhi, who was in the private room, shivered.
Neither Cheng Shuyan nor Ye Chengyan noticed the little tail hiding behind the screen not far away.
Bai Weiwei covered her mouth, staring at Ye Chengyan in disbelief. Thinking of their earlier confrontation, her expression twisted, becoming terrifying and ugly.
Yunzhi? Why is it that all the men she sets her sights on like this bitch?
She will absolutely not let that bitch get away with it!
Bai Weiwei harbored resentment. Although she was rejected by Ye Chengyan and Cheng Shuyan, she hated Yun Zhi, as if they would have liked him if it weren't for Yun Zhi.
At this moment, Yunzhi had no idea that she had been implicated by these two men and had attracted the attention of a mentally ill person.
Just as Yunzhi was getting impatient, Cheng Shuyan finally arrived late.
Yunzhi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Cheng Shuyan.
She glanced at the time, stood up, and took her leave.
She had absolutely no desire to continue spending time with Grandpa Cheng.
This old fox, every twitch of his eyes seemed to indicate he was plotting something.
"It's getting late, I'll leave first."
Cheng Shuyan originally wanted to persuade her to stay, but considering that her grandfather was still there and had come uninvited, he knew Yunzhi would feel uncomfortable and uneasy there, so he didn't try to persuade her anymore. He stood up and said, "Then I'll see you off."
Yunzhi nodded. Just then, she felt a warning look from the old man, as if he were silently telling her not to say what she shouldn't say.
Yunzhi scoffed inwardly, ignoring Old Master Cheng.
When Cheng Shuyan saw Yunzhi off.
The old man sighed softly, looking at the closed door of the private room. He seemed to be asking the butler or muttering to himself, "Do you think it's good or bad for Shuyan to stop the two of them? He finally met someone he likes, and I'm breaking them up."
"Everything the old master did was for the young master's good," the butler said respectfully, bowing his head slightly.
Grandpa Cheng shook his head and didn't say anything.
For a long time, being in a high position, he never allowed himself to regret anything he did.
He had no regrets once he made a move, even if Cheng Shuyan would hate him in the future, like when he moved away from the old house after his parents passed away, he would do so willingly.
On the other side, Cheng Shuyan and Yunzhi walked side by side.
He didn't mention his encounter with Ye Chengyan to Yunzhi. For some reason, he instinctively didn't want to talk about Ye Chengyan in front of Yunzhi.
"Did my grandpa say anything to you just now... I'm sorry, my grandpa misunderstood our relationship, and I didn't explain to him. Zhizhi, don't be angry. I just don't want to go on endless blind dates anymore. I didn't expect him to come here suddenly today."
Cheng Shuyan was terrified that Yunzhi would get angry. He twisted the hem of his clothes with his hand hanging at his side and looked at Yunzhi in a panic.
"It's alright, I understand. Grandpa didn't say anything to me, but for the next while, you don't have to worry about your grandfather pressuring you to go on blind dates." Yunzhi winked at Cheng Shuyan, her bright smile making Cheng Shuyan breathe a sigh of relief.
If the old man didn't want to prematurely reveal what he said in the private room, he wouldn't have rashly arranged a blind date for Cheng Shuyan. Moreover, given her presence, the old man was afraid that Cheng Shuyan might do something rash, so he would probably let him have his way for a few more years.
This can be considered a gift she gave to Cheng Shuyan.
It is a gift passed down from the previous life.
"Thanks to you."
"But next time, remember to let me know in advance, otherwise I'm really afraid I won't be able to keep up with your performance." Yunzhi joked with Cheng Shuyan as usual.
This put Cheng Shuyan's mind at ease.
He was so pleased with Yunzhi's presence that he couldn't help but smile and nod, "I'll definitely do it next time."
When the two reached the door, Yunzhi refused to let Cheng Shuyan see them off.
"Alright, that's enough. Grandpa Cheng is still waiting for you in the private room. I'll be going now."
Yunzhi waved to Cheng Shuyan, said "See you next time," and got into the taxi at the door.
Cheng Shuyan inhaled a mouthful of exhaust fumes. He coughed twice and took two steps in the direction the yellow taxi had left. He clutched his heart with one hand, feeling as if something important had left him, a feeling that made him panic.
He almost couldn't resist driving after them.
Cheng Shuyan took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and comforted herself, "It's okay, Zhizhi just said, see you next time."
She won't break her promise.
Yunzhi sat in the car, turning around to watch Cheng Shuyan's figure grow smaller and smaller until it disappeared completely. Her eyes reddened, and tears welled up in them, but she smiled.
She always brought misfortune to Cheng Shuyan.
Grandpa Cheng's words today served as a wake-up call for her.
She's living such a good life now because the system secretly gave her a backdoor; otherwise, she would have been a pile of dust long ago.
At first, she was content just to see her brother doing well, but she underestimated her own greed.
Cheng Shuyan was like a giant cake, making her unable to resist wanting to get closer and closer.
It's okay, at least they're all alive.
Yunzhi did not go back directly, but instead sent the driver to Tongtong's grave.
She stood before Tongtong's grave, pausing for a moment as she looked at the fresh offerings and flowers. She half-squatted down, stroking the cold tombstone, wondering who else in this world would come to visit Tongtong besides herself.
Cheng Shuyan's face flashed through her mind.
Then Yunzhi chuckled, "How could that be? He doesn't remember me, so how could he remember Tongtong?"
