CHAPTER 349: CHAPTER 349: CHENG YE BECOMES AN UNCLE

Yue Xiaoyang underwent a rehabilitation course in the United States. The doctor said they could slow down the process, but Yue Xiaoyang drove himself crazy by constantly adding tasks, falling to the ground several times, reopening wounds that hadn’t healed yet. The doctor was very worried.

He didn’t understand why the patient’s attitude had changed so drastically. He asked Gu Yikun, but Gu Yikun didn’t know either.

Only Adri knew.

She said, "Mr. Yue spoke to a Chinese kid on the phone, and that’s when it started. I don’t understand Chinese, so I don’t know what they were talking about."

Xie Yuchen asked, "Was it a boy or a girl?"

Adri said, "From the voice, it was a boy."

Xie Yuchen understood. He told Gu Yikun, "It must be Jin Xiu."

Gu Yikun called back. Gu Jinxiu was at school. He usually used a phone watch. "Daddy, do you have some free time in the United States?"

Receiving a call from his father made Gu Jinxiu a bit excited. Daddy thinks of him even when he’s on a business trip!

Gu Yikun asked him, "Did you talk to Uncle Yue on the phone? What did you talk about?"

Gu Jinxiu said, "I got through to Uncle Yue a couple of days ago. I told him Sister Xiao Yu would get married next year and he shouldn’t lose heart. He still has a chance when he comes back. Daddy, when will Uncle Yue’s lawsuit be resolved?"

From these words, Gu Yikun knew Jin Xiu didn’t know about Yue Xiaoyang’s car accident. "I don’t know yet. Focus on your studies at school, that’s it."

Gu Jinxiu got hung up on. He muttered, "Daddy called back just to ask about Uncle Yue. Really, I’m so worried about Uncle Yue, and Daddy tells me not to bother."

When he gets home, he must complain to Mom.

Xie Yuchen, who was listening to the conversation, said, "No matter how much we say, it’s not as good as telling him Gong Xiaoyu is getting married next year."

Gu Yikun patted Xie Yuchen’s shoulder. "We are both married men; try to understand him. Other people’s encouragement can’t compare to his hope for his loved one."

Xie Yuchen said, "His fighting spirit is back, so we can at least put one thing down."

Gu Yikun suggested he return to China early. "Both of us being in the United States might arouse suspicion in some people."

"Who, are you talking about Yin Feibai?"

"Yin Feibai wants to become a director of Senye. To win over shareholders, he needs achievements to boost his confidence. Our collaborative project is a great opportunity for him to make a move. The Gu Family doesn’t need to worry; I’m just concerned about Tengxia Industries."

Xie Yuchen pondered, "If he confronts Tengxia Industries at this critical moment, Xiaoyang will have to make a public appearance to respond, and then..."

"Exactly, Xiaoyang’s injuries can’t be known to the public. We can’t give Yin Feibai any opportunities."

Xie Yuchen understood that Gu Yikun’s concerns were not without reason. He said, "I’ll go back and keep an eye on things." He had been in the United States for almost a month, and it was time to check on his family back home.

Gu Yikun reassured him, "Don’t worry about going back. Once Xiaoyang’s injuries stabilize, I’ll be preparing to go to Russia."

Xie Yuchen went to tell Yue Xiaoyang about returning to China. At that moment, Cheng Ye brought them good news: the lawsuit had ended satisfactorily, and Shen Bo only needed to pay compensation. This was the best outcome he could have fought for.

Yue Xiaoyang’s spirits lifted a lot. "If Cheng Ye is on the case, I’m reassured."

Gu Kuangyuan saw that Yue Xiaoyang was actively cooperating with the rehabilitation treatment. She said, "Xiaoyang, you are the most lively one among us. I want to see the old you, keep it up."

Yue Xiaoyang teased her, "Kuang Yuan, you used to be the most old-fashioned one, but being with Cheng Ye has made you change a lot. The power of love is truly great. The current you is much cuter."

Xie Yuchen found it inexplicable and punched Cheng Ye’s shoulder. "When did you two get together? We only found out after coming to the United States."

Gu Yikun remained silent, his eyes clearly showing disapproval as he looked at Cheng Ye.

This rascal had quietly whisked away his family’s beloved, being quite bold about it.

Cheng Ye and Gu Kuangyuan were surrounded by everyone. It was the first time that Gu Kuangyuan was interrogated about personal feelings. She sat next to Cheng Ye with her head down. "Why are you all talking about us?"

Cheng Ye felt intimidated under Gu Yikun’s gaze. He firmly held Gu Kuangyuan’s hand and said to Gu Yikun, "Yikun, now you all know. What is your stance?"

Gu Yikun said, "What if I object?" If they were together, wouldn’t that make Cheng Ye his uncle-in-law? He couldn’t swallow that.

Gu Kuangyuan jumped in before Cheng Ye could respond. "Yikun, why would you oppose? I really like him."

Seeing his cousin argue with him for her beloved, Gu Yikun knocked on Gu Kuangyuan’s head. "Gu Kuangyuan, you’re siding with someone else now?"

Cheng Ye protected Gu Kuangyuan. "Yikun, even if all of you object, I won’t give up on her."

Gu Kuangyuan was moved. She nestled like a little bird in his arms. "Me too."

Gu Yikun narrowed his eyes slightly. "Cheng Ye, were you the heartbreaker having a romance with Kuang Yuan in London a few years ago?"

Cheng Ye said, "That was a complete misunderstanding."

Gu Yikun nodded. "Oh, a misunderstanding, huh? I won’t agree to you two being together. Father and Mother won’t either. Give it up."

Gu Kuangyuan became anxious. "Why not? We don’t need your approval to be together!"

Cheng Ye held Gu Kuangyuan’s hand and stood up. "Registering in Las Vegas has the same legal effect. Xiao Yuan, let’s go." He listened to Gu Yikun for work matters, but not for this.

Gu Kuangyuan followed Cheng Ye without any hesitation, even hitting Gu Yikun a few times before leaving, behaving just like a rebellious girl whose family disapproved of her relationship.

Yue Xiaoyang and Xie Yuchen were stunned. "Cheng Ye really has skills. We’ve grown up with Kuang Yuan, and we’ve never seen her act like this."

Gu Yikun was annoyed. "Cheng Ye spirited away my cousin right under my nose. This debt must be settled."

Yue Xiaoyang told him not to be petty. "I think they suit each other well."

Xie Yuchen asked Gu Yikun, "Kuang Yuan has been waiting for years just for the right person. Why are you opposing?"

Gu Yikun said, "I’m not opposing. How do you think the two elders at home would agree?"

Xie Yuchen and Yue Xiaoyang suddenly understood. "So you do have some conscience."

Gu Yikun added, "If Cheng Ye marries my cousin, he’ll willingly work for the Gu Family his whole life."

Yue Xiaoyang threw a cup at him. "Scum, I take back what I just said!"

Xie Yuchen didn’t defend Gu Yikun. He echoed Yue Xiaoyang, "He really is scum."

After Xie Yuchen returned to China, Yue Xiaoyang knew that Gu Yikun was going on a business trip to Russia. He said, "Go ahead. You don’t have to bother me here."

He now had something to look forward to in life and wouldn’t be foolishly self-destructive.

Seeing that Yue Xiaoyang’s mental state was almost normal, Gu Yikun directly took a private jet to Russia.

An Junxi learned that Xie Yuchen had returned to China. She thought Yikun would be back soon too, but then she heard he was going to Russia.

An Junxi felt very down. When would she be able to wait for his return?

She forced a smile and said, "Then you should pay attention to your diet and not overwork your stomach."

Gu Yikun said, "Didn’t Mrs. promise to accompany me on my business trip? Are you planning to break your word now?"

An Junxi got angry, "Aren’t you going by yourself?"

"I arranged a private jet to pick you up. My wife, I miss you."
