Chapter 271 Don’t regret it
Cheng Shuyan's statement that he was severing ties with the entire Cheng family was not just empty talk.
Old Master Cheng was a conservative, and none of his branches or cousins were able to stand up. The Cheng family's final fate could only be destruction. Originally, Cheng Shuyan was still concerned about his surname and thought about helping the Cheng family, but the moment the old man repeatedly slandered Yunzhi, Cheng Shuyan gave up on that idea.
Cheng Shuyan was not unaware of the old man's thoughts. It was impossible for him to protect the country for the old man and support that group of useless people.
"You! You, you'll regret this later." The old man clutched his chest with one hand, took two steps back, and looked utterly dejected.
“I won’t regret it, Grandpa. My father never regretted anything before, and I won’t either.” After Cheng Shuyan finished speaking, the old man seemed to age three or four years. His once bright eyes instantly dimmed. Upon hearing this, the butler frowned. “Young Master, you can’t say that about the old man. Back then…”
Before the butler could finish speaking, the old man stopped him, waving his hand and saying, "Alright, alright, let's go."
Old Master Cheng, his back hunched, walked away with difficulty, step by step.
Cheng Shuyan watched Old Master Cheng's departing figure with a complicated expression.
The doctor had tactfully left before Cheng Shuyan could even speak.
After Grandpa Cheng left, Yun's mother and father looked at the gauze on Cheng Shuyan's body and his weak and powerless appearance, and they couldn't bring themselves to say anything to object to the two of them.
"Uncle and Aunt." Cheng Shuyan lifted the blanket and was about to sit up to greet them when Yunzhi quickly pressed him down. "You just woke up, are you out of your mind?! Lie down now."
The words of protest that Yunmu was about to say were swallowed back down.
She looked at her daughter, then at Cheng Shuyan, afraid that she would have a heart attack if she stayed any longer. "Good child, thank you for saving our Zhizhi. You should rest well. Auntie and Uncle will come to see you again in a little while."
As she spoke, Yunmu pulled Yunfu away quickly. When they reached the door, Yunmu glanced at Yunyun, who was still standing there like a statue, and was furious. "Yunyun, come here now."
Yun Yun snapped out of her daze and hurriedly followed.
"Zhizhi, go back to your ward early. You haven't fully recovered yet, and I need to see the doctor give you another check-up before I can feel at ease. As for Young Master Cheng, I'll have someone bring two senior caregivers over to take care of him later." Yun's mother said before leaving, implying that Yunzhi should return as soon as possible.
Yunzhi nodded, and then Yun's mother left with Yun's father and Yunyun.
As soon as the ward door closed, Yunmu glared fiercely at Yunyun, "What's going on between your sister and Cheng Shuyan? Why didn't you tell us beforehand?"
Yun Yun, realizing she was in the wrong, touched her nose and was about to say something.
Yun's father snorted coldly, "I think you already knew about your sister and Cheng Shuyan's affair, but deliberately didn't tell us. What, did you want to see us make a fool of ourselves? You've been a sesame-filled dumpling since you were little, with a black heart."
The word "wronged" circled on his lips but he swallowed it back. "Mom and Dad, I do know that Cheng Shuyan and Zhizhi have an unusual relationship, but I think Cheng Shuyan is actually quite good. He is many times better than Davis and Wilson. Both of them are after our family's status in Y country and want to take over our family. But Cheng Shuyan is different. Cheng Shuyan is truly willing to give his life for his sister. You saw it today."
"It's rare to see you praise someone like this." Yunmu looked at Yunyun with some surprise. As a mother, she knew her son's temperament. Don't be fooled by Yunyun's smiling face and the fact that he seemed to get along well with everyone. In reality, he only cared about his family and looked down on everyone else. Yunmu had never heard Yunyun praise anyone in private.
Especially considering that this man is trying to steal their daughter's cabbage, it seems that Cheng Shuyan is indeed quite good. Moreover, he is not rigid, has his own thoughts, and will not unconditionally listen to his family. Because of Yun Yun's few words, Yun's mother has already changed her opinion of Cheng Shuyan.
Yun Yun awkwardly defended herself, "I'm not praising him, I'm just stating the facts."
"Alright, let's be realistic." Yunmu looked helpless; her son was the most stubborn one when it came to words.
Yun's father snorted coldly, thinking that Cheng Shuyan was still being unreasonable. "We'll talk about this later. Zhizhi is still young. At most, the two of them are dating. Anything else is still a long way off. Yun Yun, you tell me properly about Zhizhi's car accident."
When this matter was brought up, Yun Yun immediately became serious.
"We'll talk as we walk."
On the other side, after Yun's parents left, Yun Zhi raised her hand and touched Cheng Shuyan's cheek through the gauze. Her fingertips trembled. "Shuyan, does it hurt?"
Cheng Shuyan felt a warmth in his heart as he looked at Yunzhi's concerned expression. "It doesn't hurt anymore. I thought I'd never see you again..."
Before Cheng Shuyan could finish speaking, Yunzhi pressed a hand against his lips.
Yunzhi's eyes reddened; she couldn't bear to hear Cheng Shuyan say those words. "Shuyan, don't say such unlucky things."
In his past life, he did indeed die in a car accident and never saw her again.
"Okay, Zhizhi, but Zhizhi, do your parents not like me very much?" Cheng Shuyan took Yunzhi's hand, resisting the urge to kiss it, and gently stroked Yunzhi's hair, his tone filled with worry.
Yunzhi looked embarrassed. "My parents think we're dating. Should I explain to them?"
"Can we not explain?" Cheng Shuyan was silent for a moment, then looked up and stared straight at Yunzhi. "Zhizhi, can we not explain? What if, what if what I'm saying is true in the future?"
His deep, affectionate peach blossom eyes were now fixed intently on Yunzhi.
Yunzhi's heart was pounding uncontrollably. She turned her head away and, for some reason, gave a soft "hmm" in agreement. But as soon as she agreed, Yunzhi regretted it. Hadn't she initially decided to gradually distance herself from Cheng Shuyan after he recovered?
Bai Weiwei's incident served as a wake-up call for her, making her completely sober up from her initial sense of complacency.
Since it concerned Cheng Shuyan's comfort, she could not afford to take any chances.
Looking at the tenderness and joy in Cheng Shuyan's eyes, Ke Yunzhi couldn't bring herself to say the words of refusal. In the end, she silently comforted herself, thinking that once Cheng Shuyan recovered, she would gradually distance herself from him, and he would definitely understand her meaning.
She was thinking of Cheng Shuyan's life, and Cheng Shuyan would definitely understand her.
Although Yunzhi tried to comfort herself, she still felt a little guilty.
