Chapter 312 The Eyes Behind It
"Cheng Huaiyou, what happened? Didn't the doctor say the old man was recovering very well? Why is he suddenly in the emergency room?" The leader was furious when he saw the old man's pale face and the ventilator on. However, considering the old man's condition, he lowered his voice and questioned Cheng Huaiyou, who was standing next to him.
The person who came was none other than an elder from a collateral branch of the Cheng family, of the same generation as the old man, but almost ten years younger than him.
Cheng Huaiyou's eyes darted around. He glanced at the phone on the old man's bedside table, then shook his head blankly. "I'm not sure. When I arrived, Grandpa was already in the emergency room. But I heard from the nurse that when Grandpa fainted, he seemed to be holding his phone, as if he had been angered by someone."
Cell phone? The group exchanged glances and looked at the cell phone on the bedside table. However, none of them had the guts to look at the old man's cell phone in front of so many people while he was unconscious. Who knew what secrets were on the old man's phone?
A hint of resentment flashed in Cheng Huaiyou's eyes. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he quickly went out under the pretext of going to the restroom. Five minutes later, Cheng Huaiyou walked in looking relaxed. Less than two minutes after he came in, a young woman in a nurse's uniform walked in. She glanced around, recorded the old man's various data, and gave him a word of advice as she left.
"Patients need quiet, and only two people are allowed in the ward at most."
Everyone nodded perfunctorily. This was the perfect opportunity to make a good impression, and no one wanted to leave at this moment.
The nurse didn't say much and was about to leave when she glanced at Cheng Huaiyou as she passed by. Cheng Huaiyou looked at the seven or eight people standing sparsely in the ward, and realized that none of them were following the script he had envisioned. He became a little anxious, so he made up his mind, pretended to be desperate and tried to stop the nurse.
"Nurse, did you hear any noise or hear anyone's name before my grandfather fell into a coma?"
Cheng Huaiyou's voice jolted the others awake, and they immediately surrounded the nurse, bombarding her with questions: "Yeah, did you hear anything?"
The nurse looked troubled and hesitated as she glanced around at the people around her. "Well... I did hear a name, but I don't know if the patient had an argument with him."
"who."
"Who is it? Tell us quickly! Don't worry, we won't blame you if you tell us."
"I only heard a vague name, Cheng Shuyan or something, I think that's it." The nurse seemed to have finally had to speak up because she couldn't stand being pestered anymore.
After the nurse finished speaking, she exchanged a glance with Cheng Huaiyou.
Cheng Huaiyou nodded calmly, and the nurse left satisfied. It seemed the final payment would arrive soon.
After the nurse left, the ward was quiet for two seconds, and then the seven or eight people started discussing among themselves.
"Cheng Shuyan...isn't this Cheng Shuyan? This heartless bastard not only severed ties with the old man for a woman, but also angered him to this extent. No, I can't swallow this. I'm going to settle accounts with him!"
"Second brother, calm down. We don't have any evidence either."
"What other evidence do we need? It must be Cheng Shuyan. The old man has always placed high hopes on Cheng Shuyan, and only Cheng Shuyan could make the old man so angry! Where is Cheng Shuyan? Once I find this brat, I will definitely bring him here to apologize to the old man."
Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Cheng Huaiyou's lips curled up in a smug smile. Although he had lost an opportunity to make the old man leave this world forever, he had already laid the foundation for shifting the blame to Cheng Shuyan. If he were given another chance, he could completely free the old man from this world.
He stood in front of the old man's hospital bed, staring intently at him. Don't blame him for being ruthless.
If it weren't for his grandfather's unwavering devotion to Cheng Shuyan, even with his own efforts, he still longed for Cheng Shuyan to inherit the Cheng family business. He wouldn't have even considered letting his grandfather leave this world. After all, his grandfather had already lived long enough. Living a few more years would only mean more worry and trouble for Cheng Shuyan. Perhaps his grandfather would even thank him for helping him find peace.
Cheng Huaiyou convinced himself in this way.
Fortunately, the old man was unconscious at this time and had no idea what Cheng Huaiyou was thinking. Otherwise, even if he had fainted, he would have been woken up by Cheng Huaiyou's filial piety.
At this moment, Cheng Huaiyou was unaware that his original plan to take action against the old man and bribe the nurse to cooperate with his performance had been witnessed by someone in the shadows.
At this moment, in Cheng Shuyan's office.
As it was nearing the end of the workday, Cheng Shuyan's phone chimed.
Yunzhi was tidying up when she suddenly felt the temperature in the office drop several degrees. She rubbed the goosebumps on her arms and looked up at the window blankly. Had the temperature dropped?
Just as Yunzhi looked up in Cheng Shuyan's direction, she knew who was responsible for the sudden drop in temperature in the office. Cheng Shuyan was staring intently at his phone. His eyes were wide open, his eyebrows were furrowed, his face was ashen, and the veins on the back of his hand were bulging from gripping the phone so tightly. He was radiating cold air from his entire body.
Yunzhi stood up with a puzzled look and walked over. "Shuyan, what happened?"
Although she was curious about the contents of Cheng Shuyan's phone, Yunzhi had a sense of boundaries. Without Cheng Shuyan's permission, she would never dare to peek at the contents of his phone. So she simply stood in front of him and asked with concern.
Cheng Shuyan took a deep breath and turned off his phone. "It's nothing, I just got angry at an idiot. Zhizhi, I'm afraid I can't take you home. I have to go to the hospital. Grandpa fainted because of me and hasn't woken up yet." And there's someone else eyeing Grandpa covetously.
Even if Cheng Shuyan and the old man sever ties with the Cheng family, they won't just stand by and watch something really happen to the old man.
Cheng Huaiyou is really a good person.
Yunzhi shook her head to indicate that it was alright. "You should go to the hospital quickly. I just called my dad to come pick me up. My dad and mom want to explore Haishi a bit more. I was just about to tell you that you don't need to take me home tonight. We're pretty much on the same page."
As she spoke, she winked at Cheng Shuyan.
Cheng Shuyan breathed a sigh of relief. What he didn't know was that after Yunzhi finished speaking, she turned around and sent a text message to her father, coaxing him and her mother to come pick her up. Her father even teased her, saying that she had become dependent on her parents since returning to China. Back in Y country, because there was a school bus, Yunzhi's elementary school didn't allow them to send her off to school, let alone pick her up.
