Chapter 295 A Midnight Show-Off
Cheng Shuyan lowered his head slightly, and his sexy and magnetic voice, like that of a cello, rang in Yunzhi's ear. His hot breath sprayed on Yunzhi's ear, so hot that Yunzhi dared not look up.
Yun Yun glanced at the two of them, said nothing, and then looked at her parents.
Yun's parents also saw the two embracing. They coughed lightly and pretended not to see them. Their children and grandchildren had their own blessings, and since they had already agreed to Cheng Shuyan's decision, they naturally wouldn't care about such a trivial matter.
"It must be a problem with the circuit." Yun Yun said, telling them to wait there and not to move around. Then she walked towards the meter. At that moment, Wang Ma came over with two candles that she didn't know where she had taken them from. The flickering flames illuminated half of the living room.
Even if Yunzhi had the thickest skin, she couldn't stay in Cheng Shuyan's arms any longer under the watchful eyes of her family. She gently patted the back of Cheng Shuyan's hand, signaling him to let go of her.
A hint of curiosity flashed in Cheng Shuyan's eyes, but he knew when to stop, so he let go of Yunzhi. As soon as he let go, Yunzhi sat down next to Yunmu like a slippery fish. Yunmu gently pinched Yunzhi's nose, which earned Yunzhi a flattering smile.
Seeing this, Cheng Shuyan's lips curled up slightly. Soon, Yun Yun came over with a worried look on his face. "It seems there won't be any power tonight. We'll have to send someone to check it out tomorrow."
With the rain so heavy outside, accompanied by howling winds that could blow people away, they wouldn't be so inhumane as to force someone to come and inspect at this time.
Yunzhi glanced out the window; the rain outside was mixed with hail, as if it would shatter the glass. "Shuyan, don't go back tonight. Stay here. The weather outside is too bad. It wouldn't be good if something else happened."
This kind of weather is prone to car accidents.
Even though he really wanted to agree, Cheng Shuyan was afraid that he wouldn't nod in agreement immediately, so he looked at Yun Yun and didn't say anything.
Yun Yun sneered, "What are you looking at me for? In this kind of weather, would I kick you out? Do you really want me to leave? Anyway, there's no shortage of houses here, so you can stay wherever you like."
"Thank you, brother." Cheng Shuyan gave Yun Yun a genuine smile.
Yun Yun snorted lightly, "But don't let me find out you have ulterior motives, or I'll kick you out."
"Don't worry, brother, I'm not that kind of person."
Yun Yun didn't speak. She knew that Cheng Shuyan was a gentleman, but there were still some procedures to follow. Besides, her mother would definitely be sleeping with Zhizhi tonight, so even if Cheng Shuyan wanted to do something, he wouldn't have the chance.
That night, Cheng Shuyan was able to stay overnight as she wished.
In the middle of the night, Cheng Shuyan was woken up by a phone call. The caller didn't recognize him; it was Cheng Huaiyou. He frowned and hung up, but the other party wouldn't let it go, as if he would keep calling if Cheng Shuyan didn't answer. This annoyed Cheng Shuyan so much that he finally answered the phone.
As soon as the call connected, Cheng Huaiyou's thick tongue rang in his ear, "Cheng Shuyan, haha, do you know, do you know, Grandpa has already chosen me as his successor, haha, from now on, the Cheng family will be my domain. No matter how much you try to please Grandpa, he still won't give you the company. You and your father are just wasting your time."
Cheng Huaiyou must have been drunk, otherwise he would never have dared to call and provoke Cheng Shuyan when he was sober. He knew better than anyone that his position as heir was still far from being secured. At most, it was just a matter of the old man approving that he would work at Cheng's company. The heir the old man truly favored was Cheng Shuyan.
Cheng Shuyan raised his hand and rubbed his temples, his impatience growing stronger. He didn't care whoever wanted the mess that was the Cheng family. Cheng Huaiyou didn't know how many holes awaited him in the future. The more arrogant he was now, the more he would regret it later. Only the Cheng family would treat the current Cheng family as a treasure.
Cheng Shuyan originally didn't want to argue with Cheng Huaiyou, but Cheng Huaiyou insisted on bringing up his deceased father. His father was his Achilles' heel, especially since every member of the Cheng family was responsible for his father's death, and none of them had the right to mock his father.
Cheng Shuyan's face turned cold. Even in the darkness, one could still feel his deep and terrifying aura. He sneered and said, word by word, "Is that so, Cheng Huaiyou? Do you believe that I can make you the heir of the past right away? As long as Grandpa and I back down, this heir status will be mine sooner or later. Do you dare to try?"
His words instantly brought Cheng Huaiyou, whose mind had been numbed by alcohol, back to his senses. He tried to remain calm, but his hand holding the phone trembled slightly. "Cheng Shuyan, do you think Grandpa will forgive you so easily? You think too highly of yourself."
If Cheng Shuyan were in front of Cheng Huaiyou at this moment, he would see Cheng Huaiyou's panicked expression. He was terrified that the position of heir that was about to be his would end up falling on Cheng Shuyan's head. At this moment, he already regretted why he had called to provoke Cheng Shuyan.
Who just encouraged me?
Cheng Huaiyou's mind was in a mess, and he only had one thought in mind: to stop Cheng Shuyan.
"Really? Then we can make a bet." Cheng Shuyan's voice was devoid of any emotion. Cheng Huaiyou dared not bet with him and threw down a sentence, "Who's betting with you? Just pretend I didn't call you today." After saying that, he hung up the phone directly.
In the darkness, Cheng Shuyan sat on the bed listening to the dial tone on the other end of the phone, a mocking smile playing on his lips. He wouldn't take the Cheng family's mess, even if it were given to him for free. He knew Cheng Huaiyou didn't have the guts to gamble with him, which was why he proposed the bet. Even if Cheng Huaiyou agreed, Cheng Shuyan wouldn't back down to the old man and take over the Cheng family; he wasn't some kind of masochist.
In the darkness, a series of cold laughs echoed in the quiet room.
Cheng Shuyan stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the dark sky outside. The darkness in his eyes gradually spread. He lifted his foot and walked outside. At this moment, he suddenly wanted to feel the cold wind. Only the cold wind could dispel the restlessness in his heart.
As soon as Cheng Shuyan entered the living room, he saw Yunzhi with a flashlight on, rummaging through the refrigerator like a little mouse.
"Zhizhi?" Cheng Shuyan's voice sounded with a hint of doubt.
The sudden noise startled Yunzhi. She turned around and saw Cheng Shuyan, then breathed a sigh of relief. "Shuyan, that was a real scare! But why aren't you asleep yet? Are you hungry?"
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I'm not hungry. I just woke up and came down for a walk." Cheng Shuyan saw that Yunzhi's face had turned pale from being frightened by him, and walked over with a look of self-reproach.
"Awake?" Yunzhi glanced at the time; it was indeed 2 a.m., not 8 a.m.
