The old man snorted coldly. “I’m not dead yet. Why do I have to rely on him?”
Liu Yan’s face instantly turned pale. She knew that she had said something wrong. “Dad, that’s not what I meant. Of course, I want you to live a long life. But now that Zhuang Hong is bedridden, you can’t let Tinghao lie down too, right?”
These words made Lan Yibai’s face turn sour. She gripped Cen Shuang’s hand tightly. “Dad, Cen Shuang didn’t do it on purpose.”
Lan Yibai wanted to explain, but Cen Shuang cut her off. “I did do it on purpose. If he wasn’t Zhuang Hong’s cousin, I would have beaten him even more severely.”
Everyone in the room immediately sucked in a sharp breath. Even Zhuang Tinghao could not help but duck his head when he heard this. She had gone easy on him. Liu Yan was shocked. Was she really a lady from a wealthy family?The woman in front of her behaved like a hag.
“Dad, you have to make a decision for Tinghao’s sake. The Zhuang family can’t do without him now!” Zhuang Hong was bedridden. The Zhuang family had no heir, and Zhuang Tinghao was the next natural heir to the Zhuang family’s inheritance. Liu Yan was crying pitifully beside him, Zhuang Tinghao also straightened up and insisted on making Cen Shuang suffer a little so that he could subdue her in the future. Although his head was injured, this did not stop him from daydreaming.
Cen Shuang also straightened up and said loudly, “I feel that someone like him will ruin the Zhuang family sooner or later.”
“What nonsense are you spouting?” Liu Yan almost jumped up from the sofa. If Lan Yibai had not stopped her, she would have scratched Cen Shuang’s face.
“Stop talking.” Lan Yibai pulled her back. Cen Shuang did not listen and retorted, “Tinghao said that when grandfather dies, the entire Zhuang family will belong to him. Even mother and I will have to listen to him and obey his orders…” Cen Shuang did not finish her sentence. Zhuang Tinghao and his mother’s faces were pale.
Ever since Zhuang Hong’s accident, the Zhuang family’s matters were all under Old Master Zhuang’s control. Zhuang Tinghao made himself small and trembled, not daring to look at Old Master Zhuang’s expression. He only said, “I didn’t say that. This woman is talking nonsense.”
“Father, Tinghao wouldn’t. He is always the first to obey you.” Although Old Master Zhuang did not say a word, Zhuang Tinghao and his mother were already drenched in cold sweat from fear.
Cen Shuang stood on the sidelines and showed no signs of caring. Lan Yibai also pretended not to hear them. The old man snorted coldly. “You’re actually hoping I’ll die early so that you can have all the Zhuang family’s assets, huh?.”
“It’s not like that. This woman hit me and doesn’t want to be responsible for her actions.”
“Cen Shuang is your sister-in-law, not an outsider,” Lan Yibai said coldly. Although Cen Shuang had only just moved in, when she heard these words, she felt a little touched.
“Get lost. In the future, no one from your family is allowed to come into this house without my permission,” the old man said firmly. Although he was angry, he controlled his anger very well. He did not seem surprised about this matter. Even though he was angry, he did not show it.
“Grandpa, I’ll head out first.” Once they heard that they could leave, Zhuang Tinghao and his mother hurried off the compound. Now, they did not have the mood to pursue the earlier incident, let alone send Cen Shuang to the Public Security Bureau. They were now worried about their own lives. The old man had served in the army when he was young. It was said that he had even killed people. Even though he was old now, he was still a man of his word, and the most powerful man in the Zhuang family except for Zhuang Hong.
“Are you alright?” Now that the mother and son had finally left, Lan Yibai heaved a sigh of relief. She looked at Cen Shuang and said worriedly, “In the future, if you encounter any trouble, just look for me. I will make the decision for you. Don’t do it yourself if you want someone beaten up…”
This meant that… she wanted to get someone to do it?
After this incident, Zhuang Tinghao did not come looking for trouble again. She also lived her life in peace. However, Lan Yibai’s reminder made her willing to treat them well. She would sponge Zhuang Hong every day. When she felt Lan Yibai standing behind her, Cen Shuang could not help but be more careful. Although she looked like an unassuming girl, she had been practicing martial arts ever since she was young, and she was not weak. She had flipped Zhuang Hong over on her own. Lan Yibai had been a little surprised.
“I’ll get someone to prepare supper.”
Seeing Lan Yibai leave, Cen Shuang heaved a sigh of relief. She pulled Zhuang Hong’s covers back and casually wiped him with a towel, “I’ve been tolerating you so graciously for so long… If the Cen family had not gone bankrupt, I wouldn’t be here serving you like this? You must have been really lucky in your past life.”
As Cen Shuang rambled on, her hands did not stop moving. She only felt that something was off about Zhuang Hong. She stopped wiping him and her eyes were fixed on the little bulge in the quilt. Did she do something wrong?
“I asked someone to bring you milk. Is there anything you want to eat tonight?”Lan Yibai walked in with a glass of milk in her hand.
Cen Shuang heard her movements. She did not know if it was because she felt guilty or because she felt embarrassed, but she grabbed the blanket and draped it over Zhuang Hong’s half-naked upper body. She turned around to look at Lan Yibai with a red face and shook her head. She was not hungry. She did not want to eat anything.
