Chapter 53: Chapter 53: Still Want to Ruin the Marriage Between Yanyan and Bo Fan
Chu Lin wiped the tears from Chu Yan’s eyes as he held her, “You are not superfluous at home.”
Seeing Yang Ying and Chu Qing come out, Chu Yan stepped back from Chu Lin’s embrace, swallowing her grievances, “Mom, Dad, I won’t make it difficult for you both, I will leave the Chu Family voluntarily. All of this should rightfully be Yuan Xi’s.”
Chu Yan went forward and hugged Yang Ying, “Mom, I am very grateful for your care over the past twenty-five years.”
Yang Ying, looking at Chu Yan in her arms who was trying to hold back the tears, felt a wave of reluctance, “Yanyan…”
Chu Yan, sobbing through her sniffles, “Mom, once I leave, you can let Sister come back. She must be having a hard time at her in-laws’, and now she even has to help her parents-in-law take care of her brother-in-law… She really is too pitiable.”
Chu Lin frowned and sent a message to Yuan Xi, but the red circles that popped up indicated he was still blocked by Yuan Xi.
Chu Lin told Chu Yan, “What do you mean leave? Weren’t you listening to Grandma yesterday at her house, when she told you that you are forever a member of the Chu Family?”
Chu Yan, “But what about Sister?”
Chu Lin let out a snort, “If Yuan Xi is unwilling to come back then let her be. We’ve been a family for twenty-five years, how can we just cast you out because she decides to return?”
“Chu Lin!” Chu Qing frowned, “Xinxin is your biological sister, she’s your family too!”
“Has she ever considered us her family?” Chu Lin argued, “If she did, she wouldn’t have made you choose between us despite knowing the difficulty you’re in.”
Chu Lin looked at the rejection message on his phone, “Dad, Mom, if you disown Yanyan now, how am I supposed to explain this to Bo Fan?
Not to mention that the Bo Family is an old-established wealthy family in Jiang City, Bo Fan and I have been good friends since we were young. If I kick his fiancée out of the house, how could I ever face Bo Fan again?”
Yang Ying let out a sigh, feeling a sudden pain in her chest.
Holding her chest, Yang Ying then fainted.
Chu Qing and Chu Lin rushed forward to support her, “Mom!”
…
Yuan Xi had been delayed today with an abundance of urgent work, working overtime until seven-thirty when she received a call from Chu Qing.
“Hello, Daddy.”
“Xinxin, your mom has been hospitalized; she was just diagnosed with angina. Can you come to the hospital?”
Yuan Xi raised her eyebrows slightly, “Alright, which hospital?” @@novelbin@@
“I’ll be right there.”
After getting the hospital details, Yuan Xi went to the garage, got into her car, and drove to the hospital.
Inside the VIP ward.
Yang Ying lay on the hospital bed, looking very weak.
“Mom.”
Entering the ward, Yuan Xi saw Chu Yan crying and a few people she did not recognize in the room.
Chu Yan, with a tearful voice, approached Yuan Xi, “Sister, I am willing to leave the Chu Family. After I leave, you should come back home. Mom has been very stressed because of you, and I know you despise me, but I won’t disturb your life anymore.”
“Yanyan, what’s this about leaving or not leaving?”
The elderly lady sitting in a chair, wearing a maroon silk blouse, spoke up, “No one can make you leave the Chu Family; our Chu Family has painstakingly raised you for twenty-five years, and no one has the right to force you out!”
Chu Yan walked over to the Old Madam Chu, holding her, “Grandma, don’t be angry. I already feel guilty enough that Mom is in the hospital because of me, and if you get sick over this, my sins would be grave.”
“Yanyan, how could this be your fault?” a middle-aged woman wearing a dress full of LV logos interjected, “You’ve always been the most sensible and filial.”
Chu Yan replied, “Second Aunt, it’s my fault.”
Old Madam Chu approached Yuan Xi, “Yuan Xi, I heard you made your parents choose between you and Yanyan?”
Yuan Xi nodded, “Yes.”
Old Madam Chu said, “What right do you have to make the future Young Madam of the Bo Family leave the Chu Family? Are you just unable to bear seeing Yanyan getting a better marriage than you, so you incited your parents to drive her away, just to make her marriage to Bo Fan fall through?”
Chu Yan lowered her head and said, “Grandma, my sister would never have such a malicious thought, and even if she did, it’s understandable, after all, if she had returned a year earlier, she would have been the one to enter into a marriage alliance with Bo Fan. Bo Fan was originally taken from her by me. It would be reasonable for my sister to not want me to marry Bo Fan.”
Old Madam Chu gently patted Chu Yan’s hand and said, “Yanyan, Mrs. Bo has already spoken to me. Although our two families are entering into a marriage alliance, Mrs. Bo also likes that you were raised as a cherished daughter, and it’s because you are bright and generous that she chose you to be the daughter-in-law of the Bo Family. After all, the Bo Family is an old, prestigious family in Jiang City, not just anyone can become the Young Madam of the Bo Family!”
Chu Qing frowned and said, “Mom!”
Yang Ying also said weakly, “Mother-in-law.”
Old Madam Chu said, “I will lay my words down here today, no one in this Chu Family has the authority to make Chu Yan leave. After all, Yanyan is about to enter into a marriage alliance with the Bo Family. What can Yuan Xi bring to our Chu Family?
Is it her in-laws who are still sleeping in until eleven or twelve, or her husband who lives in the countryside? Or maybe her little brother-in-law who has never even eaten at KFC?
Yanyan’s marriage alliance with the Bo Family means a powerful union, and it will bring considerable benefits to our Chu Family.
But what about Yuan Xi? It’s already good enough that she isn’t using the Chu Family’s assets to support her husband’s family. What right does she have to drive away Yanyan, and even think about sabotaging Yanyan’s marriage to Bo Fan?”
Yuan Xi originally thought that, knowing the Bo Family’s plight and not telling the Chu Family, watching idly as Chu Yan married Bo Fan might be inappropriate.
Now she thought it was fortunate that she hadn’t spoken of the Bo Family’s difficulties; otherwise, it might have looked even more like she was deliberately trying to ruin the marriage alliance between Chu Yan and Bo Fan.
Yuan Xi still wore a faint smile, “No, I have never intended to sabotage the marriage between Chu Yan and Bo Fan. I couldn’t be happier for them if they lasted forever.”
“And I have never taken any assets from the Chu Family. Just yesterday, Chu Lin gave me eight million, which I donated to Mi Chen Charity. I will transfer it back to Chu Lin shortly.”
“Xinxin, there’s no need for you to transfer the money. I admit that life hasn’t been easy for you, and the family hasn’t given you any support…”
Yang Ying, agitated, tried to sit up.
Chu Qinglian stepped forward to Yang Ying and said, “Don’t get too worked up.”
Yuan Xi looked at Yang Ying’s condition, recalling her adoptive mother surrounded by similar equipment when she passed away…
Ultimately, she didn’t want the mother she had finally found to leave her too.
Yuan Xi said to Yang Ying, “Mom, you should take good care of yourself. Don’t worry about me, I’m doing very well. From now on, if you want to see me, just contact me when Chu Yan is not at home.”
Yuan Xi’s phone rang; she pulled it out to see a call from Huo Shiyuan.
Chu Yan, with sharp eyes, saw the caller ID was Huo Shiyuan, and felt somewhat worried, “Why is Huo Shiyuan contacting you at this hour?”
Chu Yan knew all too well that the reason her grandmother was so protective of her was largely because of her impending marriage into the Bo Family.
And considering Huo Shiyuan had previously given Yuan Xi a diamond ring worth three hundred million as a means of revenge against her, could it be that to spite her, he was now deliberately getting close to Yuan Xi to make her regret abandoning him for her upcoming marriage to Bo Fan?
After all, it was already half-past eight in the evening. Even if it was business related to Mi Chen, there was no need for communication at this time.
If Huo Shiyuan was indeed trying to get close to Yuan Xi as revenge, Yuan Xi might find it hard to resist Huo Shiyuan’s temptations…
Once Yuan Xi got together with Huo Shiyuan, the grandmother would certainly not protect her anymore…
Yuan Xi ignored Chu Yan and answered the call; Huo Shiyuan’s voice came from the other end, “Are you at the hospital? What’s happened to you?”
Yuan Xi said, “I’m fine.”
Huo Shiyuan said, “I’m waiting for you downstairs at the hospital.”
Yuan Xi said, “Mom, I’m leaving now.”
Yang Ying said, “Should your brother drive you home?”
“No need, my husband is waiting for me downstairs at the hospital.”
Yuan Xi spoke and then hung up the phone, and left the ward.
While Yuan Xi was waiting for the elevator, she heard Old Madam Chu’s voice coming from the room.
“Yanyan, what’s this about Huo Shiyuan you just mentioned?”
Chu Yan said, “Huo Shiyuan is the Crown Prince of Shiyi Group, and his own Shixi Finance is also one of the largest investment companies in the country. He is also the largest shareholder of Mi Chen, so I’m curious why he would call my sister so late…”
What do you think?
