Chapter 167 Settling Down

Zhao Xiran had been in the ward for quite a while, but Zhao's mother was still staring blankly at the blazing white lamp above her head.

"Mom, it's time to take your medicine!"

As soon as Zhao Xiran brought the medicine over, Mother Zhao turned her gaze away.

Zhao Xiran thought that her mother was awake now, and she was secretly happy, but she didn't want to get close, so Mother Zhao stretched out her hand and pushed down the water glass in her hand.

With a sound of 'crack', the glass cup fell to pieces, and a little warm water splashed onto Zhao Xiran's bare ankle.

Looking down at the drops of water hanging on his ankles, he felt much heavier.

Zhao Xiran turned around and took another cup, and poured hot water into it.

"Mom, as long as you take this medicine, you won't feel bad!"

Zhao's mother on the hospital bed looked up at her, and asked after a while: "If you really eat it, you won't feel bad? You didn't lie to me?"

Zhao Xiran's tears rolled in his eyes, looking at Zhao's mother smiling, he tried his best to make himself smile brighter, "Yeah."

Hearing this answer, Mother Zhao slowly stretched out her hand, and with the help of Zhao Xiran, she took the pill smoothly.

Not long after, Mother Zhao fell asleep.

Zhao Xiran came out of the ward, looked up and saw Cheng Xiao smoking at the corner of the corridor.Walking up to him, he said firmly, "Cheng Xiao, this matter can't be left like this!"

Cheng Xiao's expression froze, as if he had thought of something more profound, and sighed slightly: "I can't forget it like this!"

"Of course, you can stay here and take care of Auntie during this period of time. Leave the matter of Li Zihua to me!"

Zhao Xiran nodded towards him.

The two stood at the corner for another half an hour. Cheng Xiao left in a hurry after answering a phone call.

Zhao Xiran, who returned to the ward, looked at his mother who was sleeping peacefully on the bed, and finally couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes.

Xiang Youjun rushed over early in the morning of the second day. Seeing Zhao's mother's foolish look, he said to Zhao Xiran, "Of course, don't worry too much. Auntie will get better!"

"Yes." Zhao Xiran.

"Brother Youjun, are you still planning to go back to City D?" After a while, Zhao Xiran asked.

"I'll go back when the money from Li Zihua arrives in the account. I told you about this last time." Xiang Youjun reminded.

"You have also seen my mother's situation. Will Li Zihua..." Zhao Xiran did not continue, but Xiang Youjun already understood what she meant.

"Although the Xiang Group is small, it has all the internal organs. We all have a contract regarding Li Zihua's investment in dividends. We can't invalidate the contract just because he wants to go back on his word!"

Looking at Zhao Xiran, Xiang Youjun forced a smile and said, "Of course, you don't care about this matter."

What he didn't tell Zhao Xiran was that although the contract couldn't be changed, Li Zihua could make things difficult for him before injecting funds.

Xiang Youjun is not afraid of making things difficult, but he is afraid that many things that were discussed before will change if he leaves.

And Cheng Jiacong's side is not as easy to get rid of as he imagined before, it feels like it is contaminated with rotten eggs, even if you are far enough away from it, the smell sticking to your body will not disappear because of this.

On the other side, after Zhao Xiran took Mother Zhao away from Li Zihua's manor, he received a call from Li Zihua.

After arriving in a hurry, Li Zihua opened his mouth and said, "I don't know about Tian Fen's situation. When she came, she was already like this. I thought she was like this!"

Cheng Xiao looked at the man full of complaints, the anger in his chest was burning, and he said in a low voice, "Li Zihua, tell me again that this matter has nothing to do with you?"

Although Cheng Xiao hadn't done much in Cheng's Group, it was well known that he had a temper.

Li Zihua looked at those eyes that could not be ignored, and did not dare to continue.

"That's all I know. They give Tian Fen a tranquilizer every day, saying that it's not good for sleeping. After taking it, it can help sleep. I thought it would be harmless to the body, so I didn't care about it anymore." Li Zi Hua mixed half-truth and half-false, making it impossible for Cheng Xiao to hold him alone and say no.

After a while, he asked again: "Who are they?"

"This..." Li Zihua seemed a little hesitant.

"Say!" Cheng Xiao growled, disrupting all Li Zihua's thoughts.

"The one arranged by your father!" Li Zihua said at this moment.

Seeing that Cheng Xiao's face turned pale instantly, he hastened to say: "Mr. Cheng, I really don't know about this matter! Even today I took Tian Fen to the East Hall, I was behind their backs, just to make Miss Zhao happy Happy."

"Listen to you, you are quite innocent in this matter?" Cheng Xiao squinted at Li Zihua, raised his hand and turned the watch on his wrist, "In front of me, you'd better not lie..."

"In addition to wanting to make Miss Zhao happy, I also want you to see my sincerity!"

There was more confusion in Cheng Xiao's eyes, Li Zihua seized the opportunity and said: "No matter how you fight within the Cheng family, or what Cheng Dong thinks now, I will always stand by Mr. Cheng. This is also my Why do you want Miss Zhao to think of me as my godfather!"

Cheng Xiao didn't speak after listening to this.

He got up from the chair he was sitting on and didn't turn his head until he reached the entrance of the hall, "Li Zihua, you'd better remember what you said today."

"Yes yes yes!" Li Zihua nodded repeatedly.

It wasn't until Cheng Xiao walked away that he raised his drooping head and took out a handkerchief to wipe off the sweat from his forehead.

Cheng Xiao didn't really believe what Li Zihua said, but in his opinion, one more ally is much better than one less enemy.

At that time, even if Li Zihua doesn't help him, he won't help Cheng Jiacong or Cheng Wei anymore.

As for Tian Fen's matter, it is obvious that Li Zihua is just an accomplice. The really hateful person has been hiding behind his back and has never shown up. He is a respectable and lovely old man who wholeheartedly wants to give him the East Coast project, but has been slow to let go of power.

It is reckoned that today's incident at Li Zihua's manor was Cheng Wei's wake-up call for him.

"Go back to the old house." Cheng Xiao said to the driver as soon as he got into the car.

The car was driving at a constant speed, but Cheng Xiao who was sitting in the car was not idle. He first called Zhao Xiran and asked about Zhao's mother, and then arranged some work for Ji Kong.

When he finished everything, the car had already parked on the lawn in front of the old house.

When getting out of the car, he turned his head and accidentally found Cheng Jiacong's car.

Without knowing anything, Cheng Xiao walked in as usual.

Perhaps it was a coincidence that he came back. When he entered the hall, he looked up and saw Cheng Wei's family sitting around eating together.

Cheng Jiacong continued to pick out several chopsticks dishes for Cheng Wei. Cheng Wei said a few words, because Cheng Xiao didn't hear him through the glass window, but he saw the smile on Cheng Wei's face.

"The young master is back!" Just as he was watching intently, a servant made a voice.

The people sitting around the dining table turned their heads one after another. When they saw Cheng Xiao, Cheng Jiacong's face turned black, and he quickly picked up the chopsticks and ate silently.

"Cheng Xiao, have you eaten?" Cheng Wei asked.

The servants waiting in the restaurant immediately added bowls, chopsticks and chairs, but the seat happened to be next to Cheng Jiacong.

Seeing Cheng Jiacong frowned, Cheng Xiao said flatly, "Eat it!"

Just when he was about to leave, he heard Cheng Wei say again: "Come here, sit down."

Cheng Xiao has been annoyed by this commanding tone many years ago.But at this time, he looked at Cheng Jiacong intriguingly, "I'm afraid that some people will be unhappy if I sit here! I'd better not disturb your family's meal."

"What kind of family?" Cheng Wei's face was ashen, "Is this family considered a family without you? Come here!"

Even Tan Xiangxiang, who has never been involved in their topics, couldn't sit still at this moment, "Old Cheng, if the child doesn't want to, don't force it. After all, twisted melons are not sweet!"

Cheng Xiao looked at the family singing together and found it funny.

"Is this meal still delicious?" Cheng Wei patted the chopsticks in his hand on the table.

Tan Xiangxiang, who still wanted to continue talking, didn't dare to speak anymore, but lowered his head but silently ate the rice.

Cheng Xiao didn't want to participate in their little bastards, but now seeing Cheng Jiacong and Tan Xiangxiang's eagerness, he walked over instead.

But before sitting down, Cheng Wei stopped him again, "Mother Wang, put a chair next to me."

Cheng Xiao looked at Cheng Wei, but Cheng Jiacong's eyes were all on Cheng Xiao, and several cold lights burst out from his eyes.

Cheng Xiao sat down beside Cheng Wei, and Cheng Wei personally picked several dishes for him, all of which he liked to eat when he was a child.

Cheng Xiao stared at Xiao Banshan in the bowl, without moving his chopsticks for a long time.

"Why don't you eat?" Cheng Wei suddenly remembered that it had been a while since they had dinner, "Is the dish cold? Wang Ma, hurry up and reheat it!"

Wang Ma was about to start, but was stopped by Cheng Xiao, who lowered his head and ate all the food in the bowl.

Seeing that Cheng Xiao's bowl was empty, Cheng Wei had a smile on his face, "That's right!"

Cheng Jiacong, who was sitting on the other side, couldn't stand it any longer. When Cheng Wei's voice fell, he dropped the chopsticks in his hand, "I'm full."

Regardless of Tan Xiangxiang's call, he strode out of the hall.

In the blink of an eye, he drove away in his exclusive car.

Cheng Xiao glanced at the direction in which the car disappeared, and continued to eat the new meal Cheng Wei added for him.

Cheng Xiao ate a lot that night, but he didn't feel the paternal love that he had been looking forward to for a while.At this time, I felt my stomach bloated even more.

After closing the bathroom door, he stretched out his fingers and scratched his throat a few times. He didn't feel relieved until he vomited out the food left in his stomach.

Knocking on the door lightly, Cheng Xiao opened the door and entered after hearing Cheng Wei's voice from the study.

Seeing that it was him, Cheng Wei took off the old glasses on the bridge of his nose, "What do you want me to do?"

"Hmm. You should have heard about the Li Zihua manor, right?" Seeing Cheng Wei's solemn expression, Cheng Xiao admitted, "I didn't handle this matter well."

Seeing his sincerity, Cheng Wei thought that his tricks had played a role, and said very relievedly: "You didn't know about this beforehand! Fortunately, it's all dealt with now, and everyone is happy!"

Cheng Xiao really doesn't know why Cheng Wei said such a thing, everyone is happy?I'm afraid he is the only one who is happy!
Cheng Xiao still showed a look of guilt in his heart, "I thought about it carefully today, and I still feel that the East Bank project is too huge, and I'm worried that I won't be able to manage it!"

"Why do you want to decline again?" Cheng Wei frowned.

But Cheng Xiao shook his head when he heard this, "I will resist the things that have been appointed, even if they are difficult. It's just that I don't think I can manage so much about the East Bank project alone, so I thought that if you can Send me a few more people, and I think this project will go much smoother.”

"Who do you want?"

When Cheng Xiao heard this, he reported the person he had thought of earlier, "Zhou Yi."

"Zhou Yi?" Cheng Wei looked at Cheng Xiao very puzzled, "He is my right-hand man!"

"That's why I want him to stay!" Cheng Xiao said sincerely.
