Chapter 655: Insurmountable Obstacle
Jiahui, who was still engrossed in the story, said, “So they simply ignored Cheng Che just so there’d be one less contender?”
Guan Tang nodded.
Jiahui frowned. “Although the family’s actions are appalling, it has nothing to do with Cheng Che. In fact, it’s a good thing that they gave up on Cheng Che. It’s also beneficial to the Yin family. Why did the family suddenly go back on their words? Why are they now insisting that Cheng Che returns to the Yin family?”
Guan Tang sneered before she said, “Isn’t that because the heavens are watching and Cheng Che is blessed by the heavens? He’s the rightful heir to the Yin family; how could the heavens allow his position to be usurped by those who are unworthy?”
Jiahui said, disagreeing with Guan Tang, “You’re thinking too much. Moreover, Cheng Che doesn’t care about this at all. Whether it was when he was 18 or now when he’s 28, Mu Chen has always treated him like a brother. There’s no need for him to fight for the Yin family’s inheritance.”
Guan Tang rolled her eyes. “Even if Cheng Che has no intention of fighting for the Yin family, do you think those wicked people would feel reassured with his existence? It would be different if Cheng Che died. However, not only is he alive, but he’s also living quite well. This makes him a strong opponent.”
“When the mistress brought Cheng Che up, she naturally only brought it up as an excuse. How could she really want Cheng Che to return to the family? It was the same for the Guan family. Since Yin Zheng’s position was threatened after the mistress mentioned Cheng Che, the Guan family instructed my aunt to make a fuss, cry, and threaten to commit suicide. My uncle was under my aunt’s control so he naturally refused to bring Cheng Che back to the family,” Guan Tang said. She sighed before she continued to say, “Alas, life is unpredictable. Yin Zheng and Yin Jian embarked on a path of no return because of a woman. Their enmity that began when they were young couldn’t be resolved. They took pleasure in stealing each other’s girlfriends and were proud of sleeping with women the other party had slept with. For that reason, they caught AIDS from a woman they both slept with.”
“What? This… This…” Jiahui was so shocked that she almost fell off her chair. She was speechless.
“Isn’t it so absurd?” Guan Tang said, extremely satisfied with Jiahui’s reaction. Then, she continued to say, “Now you understand why Cheng Che absolutely has to return to the Yin family, right? It’s because the Yin family has no other heirs. The old man watched me grow up and felt that I’m the most suitable candidate to be his eldest granddaughter-in-law. He felt that when his eldest grandson returns to the family, his eldest grandson would be very pleased with our engagement. Do you understand now? I was originally a chess piece and later turned into a gift. However, due to Cheng Che’s refusal, my position is very awkward now.”
Guan Tang smiled before she looked at Jiahui provocatively and said, “Oh, right. Did you see his actions earlier? Let me tell you. There’s no man who can resist a woman’s active pursuit. Previously, he was so determined about not having anything to do with me. What about now?”
“My move is retreating to advance. He won’t be able to resist this move. Growing up in the Mu family gave him happiness, but it also robbed him of his ability to survive in a family like the Yin family. Dr. An, I’m not trying to bully you. However, between Cheng Che and I, there’s an obstacle you can’t surpass and that is his mother, Yiwan. No matter what, he’d give me a little bit of consideration because of his mother, and this is all I need to come between the both of you. As long as I’m around, the both of you won’t be able to live in peace!” Guan Tang said with a very sweet smile on her face.
