We have severed our relationship, so who will still pamper you?

Chapter 188: The Right to Know, Sichuan Opera Face Changing

Father Chu frowned. He still felt that it was not feasible. "Dad, Cheng Ye and Jiang Mian are already in a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. Marrying Jiang Mian is much more valuable than the 45% shares of the Cheng family."

"He has no reason to give up Jiang Mian and marry our Xi Yan instead." Father Chu's tone was full of envy and regret.

Hearing this, the old man of the Chu family couldn't help but sigh.

He naturally thought of this.

But you have to take a gamble, what if it works? !

"I know, but Xiyan is already like this, we can't just watch and not take any action, right?" Old Master Chu looked helpless.

Father Chu's eyes were complicated, "Dad, let's ask Xiyan's opinion."

Mr. Chu nodded.

With the comfort of her mother, Chu Xiyan prepared to go back to her room and sleep.

Father Chu suddenly called her, "Xiyan, we want to ask for your opinion on something."

Chu Xiyan was stunned for a moment, "Dad, Grandpa, what's the matter?"

Mr. Chu asked, "Xiyan, if it is profitable, do you think Xiaoye will marry you for the sake of profit?"

Hearing this, Chu Xiyan felt sad, "He won't, because he has the capital to refuse. Cheng Ye said that he would not like me regardless of Jiang Mian being there or not."

"What's more, Jiang Mian is still by his side." It was like a thorn that pierced deeply into Chu Xiyan's heart.

The disappointment in her eyes was deliberately hidden so that it was not easy for others to notice.

Chu Xiyan's face was dejected. "Dad, Grandpa, do you have anything to say to me?"

Hearing this, Father Chu quickly relayed to Chu Xiyan everything that he and the old man of the Chu family had just said.

Chu Xiyan was stunned. She didn't expect that the old man of the Cheng family had made a will before his death in order to ensure Cheng Ye's property protection.

The old man of the Chu family was silent for a while, "Xi Yan, what do you think about the will?"

Chu Xiyan was in a bad mood. She held her forehead and said, "Grandpa, Cheng Ye has the right to know about this matter. Let's tell him."

"As for the marriage..." Chu Xiyan pursed her lips, she couldn't help but feel bitter, "Let it be."

After these words were spoken, Chu's father, Chu's mother, and the old man of the Chu family were all shocked.

Mother Chu was the first to react, "Xiyan, you are too tired now, go back to the room and rest first."

Chu Xiyan's nose turned red, and she replied listlessly: "Okay, I'm going to bed."

"You should tell Cheng Ye about this as soon as possible." Chu Xiyan was depressed, and her voice was full of sadness.

After saying the last sentence, he went upstairs with Chu's mother.

In the living room downstairs, with Chu Xiyan's departure, the atmosphere in the hall became completely silent.

The old man of the Chu family came back to his senses and shook his head. "I wanted to use it as a bargaining chip, but it turned out to be useless."

Father Chu hesitated, "Should we really tell Xiaoye?"

The old man of the Chu family sighed, "Tell him. Like Xiyan said, Xiaoye has the right to know."

"Okay." Chu's father was defeated. He called the butler and asked him to tell Cheng Ye about the will.

The next morning.

As soon as Cheng Ye arrived at the company, assistant Chi Mu handed Cheng Ye a document wrapped in kraft paper.

He sat at his desk nonchalantly.

Chi Mu hurriedly explained, "Boss, this document was sent to me by the Chu family's housekeeper early this morning, saying it is closely related to you. I hope you will read it in person."

Cheng Ye raised his eyebrows and opened the document nonchalantly.

Inside was a copy of a living will and more than a dozen personal photos of the same old man.

Cheng Ye didn't know the old man and had never seen him before.

It was not until he finished reading the copy of the will that Cheng Ye realized that it was the will made by the old man of the Cheng family.

Cheng Ye frowned slightly. Did the Chu family show him these things to promote his marriage with Xi Yan? !

He was not interested in Chu Xiyan or the Cheng family's shares and property.

At this time, the mobile phone on the table rang.

Cheng Ye took it and saw that it was an unfamiliar number.

But my intuition told me that it must be the Chu family calling.

Cheng Ye thought about it and simply answered the phone.

The old and deep voice came from the other end, "Xiao Ye, I'm Xi Yan's grandfather. I thought you wouldn't answer the phone. I heard that your parents called you many times, but you didn't answer. Instead, you blocked them all."

"If you have something to say, just say it." Cheng Ye said lazily, "You didn't lie to me about the will?"

Mr. Chu promised, "What good would it be for me to lie to you? If you don't believe it, we can hire a lawyer to verify the authenticity of the will."

Cheng Ye was not curious about the will. "No need. If there is nothing else, I will hang up."

"Wait!" The old man of the Chu family hurriedly stopped them, "Xiao Ye, you can think about it again. We are not in a hurry."

"Xi Yan really likes you. She couldn't sleep because of you several times." The old man of the Chu family said with a smile, "The food she cooks is delicious. I can treat you to a meal some other day."

Cheng Ye was bored. He yawned and said casually, "Grandpa Chu, no matter how much you say, it's useless. It's impossible for Chu Xiyan and I to be together."

Old Master Chu didn't expect that Cheng Ye would refuse as cleanly and neatly as usual.

He paused, appealed to her emotions, and explained to her rationale, "Xiaoye, your grandfather's greatest wish before his death was that you and Xiyan could get married."

Cheng Ye gradually understood.

Mr. Chu continued, "From the contents of the will, Xiaoye, you should be able to understand that your grandfather still cares about you."

"Besides this, he has no other wish." The old man of the Chu family said, "You and Xiyan have been engaged since childhood, and there is a lot of fate between the two of you. It would be a pity if you parted ways from now on because of some misunderstandings."

Cheng Ye frowned, "Grandpa Chu, there's no need to waste your breath. If you don't like her, then you don't like her. No matter how much you say, nothing will happen between her and me."

"As for my grandfather, first of all, I admit that his original intention in making the will was for my own good."

"As the Cheng family is extremely partial to Cheng Fenghao, this will will indeed play a big role in helping me gain a place in the Cheng family."

"But, since grandpa's original intention was for my own good, I can also understand that as long as I can live a good life, that is his wish from the bottom of his soul."

"It is obvious now that I am living a much happier life outside the Cheng family than I was during those three years in the Cheng family."

"Why would I choose to go back? The marriage means that I will be tied to your Cheng and Chu families, and my freedom will be severely restricted. If I go back, it only means that I am not clear-headed enough, right?"

Cheng Ye spoke word by word, his voice low and powerful, "Besides, I've said it many times, I don't like Chu Xiyan, the only person I love is Jiang Mian."

"You know the answer, but you still try to persuade me to break up with Jiang Mian. Don't you think that's a bit offensive?!"

Cheng Ye's continuous words blocked what Mr. Chu wanted to say in his throat.

He could no longer find any suitable reasons. It was not a very moral behavior to persuade couples to break up.

Old Master Chu regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.

Thinking back then, I should have stood firmly on Cheng Ye's side and made the matter of Mr. Cheng's will public earlier, so as to force the development of Cheng Ye and Xi Yan's relationship.

It will be natural for the two of them to be together later.

Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in the world.

Now, it seems that no matter what he does, he cannot warm Cheng Ye’s cold heart.

Old Master Chu regretted it deeply, but he could do nothing about it.

But he still didn't want to give up, "Xiaoye, would you like to reconsider this?"

"A will is still very useful. As long as you get married, 45% of the shares and property will automatically be transferred to your name. This is a sure thing, and there is no risk."

"When you start your own business, you will inevitably face various unknown risks. In comparison, the former will save you a lot of trouble and effort."

The old man of the Chu family sincerely hopes that Cheng Ye can suddenly change his mind.

He really wanted Cheng Ye to be the son-in-law of the Chu family.

Cheng Ye being his son-in-law is not only an advantage for gaining face, but also a future for the Chu family with Cheng Ye leading it. Maybe one day, the Chu family will be able to rise to the status of the second largest family in Beijing.

Therefore, Cheng Ye is a hot commodity for the Chu family.

He dreamed that Cheng Ye and Xi Yan could get married and have children.

Cheng Ye checked the time on his watch and said lazily, "I have carefully considered it. I will not return to the Cheng family, and I will not participate in the marriage between the Cheng and Chu families."

These words were spoken with such finality that the old man of the Chu family felt particularly distressed.

"That's it. Bye." Cheng Ye hung up the phone without waiting for the other party to respond.

He lowered his eyes and casually flipped through a few pages of detailed terms in the will.

If the will is made public and he does not enter into a business marriage with Chu Xiyan, and both conditions are met, 45% of the Cheng family's shares and properties will be automatically unfrozen and then donated to the charity foundation for free.

In short, if he wanted the Cheng family to lose 45% of their profits, he only needed to make this will public.

Five minutes later, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." Cheng Ye said in a light tone.

Assistant Chi Mu pushed the door open and came in, sweating profusely. "Boss, I was almost ready to discuss the compensation for relocating the company with the bosses of those companies."

"Somehow, these people frequently criticized our company on the Internet for using coercive means to force them to leave the center building, and gave us the stigma of bullying small companies."

Chi Mu was extremely worried. "The negative public opinion on the Internet is particularly fierce. Although it is fake, if we don't deal with the negative public opinion in time, it will seriously hinder our progress in the next listing."

Cheng Ye slowly made a cup of tea and drank it. "It's okay. Let the public opinion ferment for a while."

Chi Mu was confused, "You're not going to do anything?"

"Yes." Cheng Ye took a sip of the fragrant tea. "After so long, Cheng Fenghao still hasn't made any progress. He only knows how to frame and slander others."

"It seems that the previous lessons did not give him enough painful awakening."

Chi Mu was shocked, "Boss, how do you know it was Cheng Fenghao who did it?!"

Cheng Ye said lazily, "Who would be so bored as to smear me and my company online?! There is only one possibility, that is, it was intentional."

"It's either Cheng Fenghao or Si Jin. Anyway, it has something to do with them."

Cheng Ye said in a steady voice, "Please invite those bosses over."

Chi Mu didn't understand what Cheng Ye was going to do.

But given the current situation, let’s just execute it seriously first.

Since these companies were located in the central building not far away, fifteen minutes later, Chi Mu enthusiastically invited the bosses of all seven companies to come.

in the office.

Before Cheng Ye and Chi Mu could say anything, one of them shouted, "Cheng Ye, no matter how you threaten or bribe me, I will not give in! Don't even think about threatening me to leave the Central Building! Let's not talk about compensation!"

"That's right! Changing the company's address is so troublesome! I'd have to be crazy to agree to your proposal to relocate!" Another person couldn't wait to echo him!

"Cheng Ye, don't blame us for posting the complaint online. If we have to blame someone, we can only blame you for being unreasonable!!"

The seven of them were talking to each other, and it looked like they were about to cause a huge quarrel.

Chi Mu didn't dare to make a sound.

Faced with this situation, he would not dare to express his opinions and views without Cheng Ye's permission.

Cheng Ye waited calmly for the quarrel to end. He said briefly, "The compensation will be five times the original amount."

"Fuck! Cheng Ye, who are you insulting? We don't want to move because we just can't bear this injustice! Do you really think that a mere compensation can shake us?!"

"Hahahahaha, Cheng Ye, you're just dreaming! We can't possibly agree to your unreasonable request!"

"Haha, Cheng Ye, we will never do anything that would harm the interests of our company! Relocating address? Don't even think about it!!"

Cheng Ye had a blank expression on his face. He smiled and said, "20 times."

hiss--!

There was a sound of people in the room gasping for air!

The seven of us looked at each other, and saw shock and ecstasy in each other's eyes!

20 times the compensation?!

This amount is 19 times higher than what Master Feng Hao gave! !

Even if they return Master Feng Hao's money, they will still make a lot of money! !

"Oh, Boss Cheng, you are my second parent! It's just a relocation. I'll go out and move right away, and I guarantee it won't affect the operation of your company."

"Brother! I feel like you are so kind! Like a good brother I've lost track of for many years! I'll call my assistant right now, and I'll have everything moved for you within half a day! Not only that, I'll also take care of all the cleaning for you!"

"Boss, are you dissatisfied with me at the moment? Please point it out! I will seriously correct it! "

Chi Mu was stunned, his jaw dropped with shock!!

The speed of face-changing is even more exaggerated than Sichuan Opera, isn’t it?!

He was filled with emotions. It turned out that money can make the world go round. If it didn't work, then it must be because the money wasn't enough.

Cheng Ye raised his eyebrows and asked, "You guys are not making trouble anymore?"

"Yes, yes!" The seven people laughed, and someone was impatient, "Brother, is it convenient for us to sign the compensation contract now?"

"What Lao Li said makes sense. We should sign the compensation contract without further delay. Boss Cheng, are you available now?"
