CHAPTER 219: CHAPTER 218: KNOWING

A one-bedroom apartment?

The next second, the old man darkened his face.

His granddaughter was actually cramped in a tiny one-bedroom apartment?!

Such a grievance she suffered.

This old house, although a bit old, is extremely spacious; it would be great if that girl could move here.

No rush, let’s take it slow.

After thinking it through, the old man commanded, "Call Bai Qiyan immediately, have him find a way to get Chuchu a spacious apartment, and make sure it’s done within three days. Use the money from our family funds."

Over the years, the old man had saved up his stipend and salary, which were managed by Lishan. When Yan Hui first started his business a few years ago, the old man had Lishan give all the funds to support his venture.

Yan Hui had directly converted it into shares, and a couple of years ago when Lishan reported the family’s financial status to the old man, it turned out to be an astronomical figure.

The old man had instructed Lishan to return the money to Yan Hui; however, not only was it not returned, more was added every year. Fearing the old man’s temper, Lishan simply stopped mentioning it.

Although Old Sir Zhong no longer inquired about it, he was well aware. He thought that after his passing, since he couldn’t take anything with him, the wealth would still belong to Lishan and Yan Hui.

Now that he has a granddaughter, Wan Chu’er, naturally he has to consider her part.

Lishan agreed with a smile and quickly called Yan Hui and Xiao Bai.

On the phone, Lishan repeated the fact that Wan Chu’er was the old man’s granddaughter. Usually calm, Yan Hui accidentally knocked over the glass he was holding.

After hurriedly cleaning up, he repeatedly confirmed with Lishan that it wasn’t a joke, and then he became excited.

The old man always had this on his mind.

When he learned that the old man wanted him to visit the old house, he was even more delighted, feeling that it was wonderful that Wan Chu’er was the old man’s granddaughter.

Wan Chu’er is a fine young lady.

After hanging up, he immediately left the office and went to the underground parking garage to drive.

But just as he approached the car, Zheng Yun appeared.

After being fired by Yan Hui, Zheng Yun also moved out of the old house, feeling somewhat panicked. After much deliberation, she decided to have a good talk with Yan Hui. If he remained the same, she would change her strategy.

Zheng Yun was not without merit; she was an exceptional graduate from the first university, and after years of professional grooming, she was outstanding.

In just a few days, whether headhunters approached her or other company CEOs, there had already been many.

She didn’t have that much time to waste.

Although she had felt differently about Yan Hui since her teenage years, her mother was right; indeed, a woman shouldn’t be devoted exclusively to one option.

And she wasn’t that naive; love was not everything to her.

"Yan Hui, let’s talk."

Zheng Yun walked up to the car door, stopping Yan Hui from opening it.

A trace of disgust flashed through Yan Hui’s eyes as he said indifferently, "There’s nothing to talk about."

Seeing Yan Hui’s expression, Zheng Yun snorted and bluntly said, "HK Group has approached me, offering me a CMO position, and I haven’t agreed yet."

HK Group and KY Group were fierce competitors, and their rivalry had been very intense over the past two years.

Having been Yan Hui’s assistant at KY Group, Zheng Yun knew many company secrets. If she really went to HK Group, it would pose a significant threat to KY Group.

Yan Hui looked up at Zheng Yun.

"Are you threatening me?"

Zheng Yun looked at him, with a very sincere expression, and said, "Yan Hui, we grew up together, and I’ve also put in a lot of effort at KY Group. If there’s anything in this world I wouldn’t want to do, it’s becoming adversaries with you.

As long as you give me one chance, that won’t happen, you know how I feel about you."

Hearing Zheng Yun’s words, Yan Hui couldn’t help but want to applaud her, truly a smooth talker.

Yan Hui coldly looked at Zheng Yun, "What do you want?"

Thinking Yan Hui was wavering, Zheng Yun was secretly pleased, but kept her expression unchanged and replied, "Let me return to KY."

Yan Hui stared at her, "What else?"

"My mom and I were driven out by the old man as well, and now Old Sir Zhong only has Lishan by his side. The old house is so big, and Lishan is not talkative, I fear he won’t hear anything all day.

Aren’t you worried about Old Sir Zhong? I know Brother Lishan is a good person, but he is a man, after all, not so attentive. We should find a way to go back to accompany Old Sir Zhong.

We should even urge Old Sir Zhong to meet more people. During the Dragon Boat Festival, leaders from Beijing kindly came to visit Old Sir Zhong, but he had Lishan lock the gate from outside and refused to see anyone. How can this be right?"

A hint of mockery appeared on Yan Hui’s face, "Actually, Old Sir Zhong is your real target, isn’t he?"

Zheng Yun paused, grew cautious, and said harshly, "Yan Hui, don’t always think the worst of me. Old Sir Zhong has been kind to my mother and me. I am doing this for Old Sir Zhong’s good. Besides the three of us, he has no other relatives. If we don’t think for him, who will?"

Her words seemed majestic, as if Yan Hui had indeed misunderstood and misinterpreted her intentions.

Yan Hui slightly smiled, saying, "No need."

"What?" Zheng Yun was puzzled.

Yan Hui solemnly said, "Old Sir Zhong doesn’t need your concern. He has relatives; he even has a granddaughter."

What?

Zheng Yun’s face changed dramatically, her mind in turmoil as she stared intently at Yan Hui, asking, "Where did Old Sir Zhong get a granddaughter from?"

Yan Hui didn’t answer her question, only saying, "Do whatever you want, KY won’t be threatened by you, and neither will I."

With that, he opened the door, got into the car, and the car door pushed Zheng Yun, making her stumble.

"Yan Hui, clarify what you just said about Old Sir Zhong having relatives! We won’t allow you to bring some random person to deceive Old Sir Zhong! I won’t agree to it!"

Yan Hui rolled down the car window, "Zheng Yun, considering the years we’ve lived under the same roof, let me give you a piece of advice; stop flaunting Old Sir Zhong’s name to throw your weight around. The repercussions of his anger are more than you can handle."

He ignored Zheng Yun further and drove off with a press on the accelerator.

Actually letting Zheng Yun sneak into the garage, the company’s security needs a serious overhaul.

Bai Qiyan arrived at the old house happily to see Old Sir Zhong, and after listening to the old man’s wishes, immediately became dizzy.

"Are you saying that you are Wan Chu’er’s maternal grandfather?"

Old Sir Zhong hummed with disdain, such trivialities can’t even be handled, getting to the point and changing Chuchu’s room was the real issue.

It’s still his granddaughter who has the composure, knowing he is her maternal grandfather and not getting agitated at all, cursing when needed, returning the Jade Pendant when needed, leaving when needed.

Wondering what Chuchu is up to right now.

After a moment, Xiao Bai dumbly said, "Then aren’t you the one who cuckolded my grandfather?"

Old Sir Zhong snorted coldly, Lishan swiftly subdued Xiao Bai, knocking him down.

"You, you guys, don’t go too far!" Xiao Bai cried out in pain.
