Chapter 473 Finally, finally, finally
Chapter 473 Finally, finally, finally
After Old Chen sat down, only the two of them remained in the office. Xie Yun looked at him mockingly and said lazily, "I didn't expect that the Chen family, a century-old family, would send an old man to lead the charge for me."
"Yes, after all, you wouldn't see them even if they came, would you?"
"So you've planned this all along, that if you keep coming over, I'll definitely see you?"
"I'm not sure either, but I know that I raised your older sister myself, and that alone will make you want to see me."
"Alright, tell me, what's the purpose of your visit?"
"If I said that seeing you made me feel guilty and that I wanted to make it up to you, you might accept it."
"What did I do to make you feel guilty?" After thinking for a moment, as if realizing something, she continued, "Could it be that you feel guilty for standing idly by towards the Xie family back then? If that's the case, I think you don't need to feel guilty. After all, everyone is selfish. I can understand that you wanted to protect your own family. After all, you risked your lives to raise her, so there's no need to feel guilty. This kind of thing is just for show. You don't still think I need it, do you? Or is your guilt all stemming from your wife who died in sorrow, my cheap cousin-in-law?"
Xie Yun's words were incisive and to the point. If he were younger, he could have handled them, but now, he was even struggling to breathe. Despite having seen so much of the world and experienced countless risks, Xie Yun's words still made him change color.
"So you still hate the Chen family even now?"
"If you keep going on and on about these things, I really don't have time. After all, I'm not retired yet, and I have to handle everything for Chuyun."
"I'm here today for only one purpose: nothing should involve your sister. She's your own sister, and all the Chen family's resources will be geared towards you."
Xie Yun curled the corners of his lips. "Aren't you afraid that I can turn the Chen family of today into the Xie family of yesteryear?"
"If you want it, I don't mind. Our children and grandchildren have their own lives to live. Our Chen family won't go out of business because of one company, nor will we be brought down by one company."
Upon hearing this, his face changed, and the pen in his hand snapped in two, the broken end digging into his flesh. Blood flowed from his palm, but he seemed completely oblivious, showing no reaction whatsoever.
Xie Yun and Old Chen exchanged glances, neither willing to back down in terms of imposing manner. Old Chen walked to the door and said, "Child, no one is immune to making mistakes, but what matters is the future and correcting them. Back then, I was wrong, and that's why I ruined my wife's life, leaving me to live in regret for the rest of my days. Now, I only hope that you won't follow the same path I did." With that, he opened the door and left. "The Xie family is now down to just the two of you." More than anything, he wanted to see the two siblings alive and well; otherwise, he wouldn't have the face to see her in the afterlife.
Old Chen had just left when Chen Zhiyu came up. Their relationship had been announced at the press conference, and the receptionist escorted her up. She went to the top floor and greeted the staff in the secretariat.
I just walked right in.
When Xie Yun saw someone open the door, he coldly shouted, "Get out!"
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Chen Zhiyu said, "I brought you afternoon tea. What's wrong? Did someone make you angry?"
When Xie Yun saw it was her, she composed herself and said, "No, what brings you here?"
She placed the bag on the coffee table beside her. "Come and have something to eat, relax a bit."
Xie Yun ignored her, tossed the pen into the trash can, and wiped her hands with a couple of tissues. Chen Zhiyu, with her sharp eyes, noticed and immediately went over. "Are you hurt?"
When I took his hand, I realized it was still bleeding.
"What happened? How did you get hurt? Let's go to the hospital."
He forcefully pulled his hand back, and seeing the worry on her face, his eyes darkened. She was still the same as when she was a child.
"It's nothing, I just got a scratch."
"If you don't want to go to the hospital, you should have a first-aid kit here, right? I can help you."
"In the first drawer of the coffee table"
She pulled out the first-aid kit. She disinfected and bandaged his wounds. Watching her earnest expression reminded me of when he was a child and she would always treat his scrapes and cuts. It turned out that after all these years, whether she remembered or not, she was always the same, never changing. It was only him who had changed.
She took out her phone and received a text message from Lu Tingchuan. He glanced at her and saw that she was still tending to her wounds. When he opened the message, his expression immediately brightened.
"Finally, finally, finally out!"
