Yu Shishi indeed showed absolute loyalty to Yang Chen, doing whatever he instructed her without hesitation.
She lifted the hem of her nightgown, blushing as she sat down.
But just then, Yang Chen suddenly remembered something important that he hadn’t done yet.
Thinking carefully, oh right, Tang Xia had called him during his argument with a passenger saying there was something going on.
Yu Shishi was just about to make a further move when Yang Chen hurriedly stopped her, saying, "I just remembered something important that I haven’t done yet. You should go back and rest, I need to make a call."
Yu Shishi was stunned, pouting as she said, "Sir, do you want to listen to yourself? I’m already in this state and you’re asking me to rest? Aren’t you afraid of hurting my feelings?"
Yang Chen gave Yu Shishi a quick kiss, saying, "My mistake, I’ve been too busy today and forgot something very important. Go back to sleep, I need to make a call."
Yu Shishi pouted and left Yang Chen, saying, "Alright then, I’ll head back first. Find me when you’re done."
Yang Chen nodded with a smile, and Yu Shishi waved cheerfully before turning to return to her room.
Yang Chen quickly picked up his phone to call Tang Xia.
Tang Xia answered almost instantly, seemingly having been waiting for Yang Chen’s call.
Yang Chen: "Hey, Xiaxia, what’s up? Go ahead."
Tang Xia: "Are you really busy over there? I saw you made headlines again today."
Yang Chen: "I’ve finished everything. Is there something going on with you?"
Tang Xia: "Something huge has happened here; can you come out for a bit? Let’s meet at Yihai Apartments and talk."
Yang Chen: "Alright then, I’ll head over now, see you soon."
Yang Chen felt Tang Xia must have something really important, or she wouldn’t ask him to meet up at such a time.
So, he quickly dressed and rushed to Yihai Apartments.
Soon, Yang Chen and Tang Xia met in a private piano room.
As soon as they met, Tang Xia hugged Yang Chen and started crying.
Yang Chen patted her back sympathetically, asking, "What happened? Who bullied you?"
Tang Xia cried heavily, unable to speak through her sobs.
After a while, Tang Xia’s emotions gradually calmed down.
"My grandfather wants to deal with you, and he’s insisting I marry Ye Xuan from the Ye Family. He knows you’ll definitely step in to stop it, inevitably causing a conflict with the Ye Family, achieving his intention of borrowing a knife to kill someone. My father said this is a public plot; even if you know it’s a trap, you have to jump in. I originally didn’t want to tell you, but my father also said even if I don’t, my grandfather will make sure you find out. My father wanted me to tell you and hear what you think," Tang Xia said.
Yang Chen chuckled, wiped Tang Xia’s tears, and said, "When your father asked me to save your grandfather, I already told him. As soon as the old man comes back to life, he will definitely marginalize him. He benevolently didn’t want to see your grandfather die. This is like the ancient struggle for the throne, where siblings and even father and son fought without mercy, very normal indeed. No one can resist the lure of endless power, and likewise, no one can resist the temptation of a billion-dollar inheritance. But your dad still chose this path."
Tang Xia: "My dad is very regretful now, but the situation has developed to this point. Now saying regret is useless, we can only quickly find a way to deal with it. Ah Chen, what do you think we should do now? I’m yours, I absolutely can’t marry Ye Xuan. My dad also isn’t willing to easily give up the Tang Family inheritance. But now, it’s clear my grandfather wants the Ye Family to help him deal with you. I... I really don’t know what to do."
Yang Chen: "No one can take my woman. Whatever nonsense Ye Family, I don’t care about them. As for your dad wanting the Tang Family’s assets, there is a way. When I saved your grandfather, I held back a little, didn’t completely cure him. As soon as he catches a cold, rub his philtrum with force, he’ll quickly fall into a coma. Except for my acupuncture, no one can save him. Once your grandfather is in a coma, your dad becomes the nominal head of the Tang Family, the biggest. Although the assets transferred to your uncle and cousins in name can’t be reclaimed, your dad can set up one-to-one corresponding companies. At least now outsiders only recognize your dad as the Tang Family Patriarch, not your uncle. Once the business is reclaimed, your uncle’s companies are reduced to shells. Your grandfather’s savings, investments, stocks, according to Tang family rules, as long as he’s gone, these automatically transfer to the current Patriarch’s name, allowing your dad to retrieve them lawfully. Tell your dad I gave him a second chance, he must do it himself this time. Otherwise, the farther he disappears the better, I won’t help him for your sake."
Tang Xia: "You want my dad to destroy my grandfather himself?"
Yang Chen: "Didn’t your grandfather destroy your dad and you himself? He can bear sacrificing you all, why can’t you bear sacrificing him? At this point, you’re still being soft-hearted? Then I won’t deal with your family’s affairs, let things happen as they will."
Tang Xia: "I don’t mean that, it’s just they are father and son after all, I worry my dad will spend the rest of his life in regret and self-blame."
Yang Chen: "Then let your mom do it. I will only acknowledge if one of them does it, I won’t acknowledge if anyone else does."
Tang Xia nodded lightly, holding Yang Chen and falling into deep thought.
Although she now truly resents her grandfather, the thought of them having to personally dismantle him still made her heart waver.
