Cheng Che pursed his lips and did not speak.
Jiahui looked at Cheng Che before she said softly, “Grandmother, Sister Yin Jia is with Ye Cheng now, but Ye Cheng is having an affair with Guan Tang. We’re worried that Sister Yin Jia will be deceived and end up badly.”
Cheng Yi patted Jiahui’s hand. She sighed softly and said, “The two of you are too kind. With my understanding of Yin Jia, even if she knows Ye Cheng betrayed her, she’s not the kind that won’t be able to accept it. In the past, both Guan Tang and Yin Yi had snatched her boyfriends before. At that time, she was young and couldn’t take it. She thought about committing suicide. At that time, the person I arranged to stay by her side spoke to her and guided her, drawing her out from the darkness. Don’t worry. The current Yin Jia isn’t someone who will be blinded by matters of the heart, and she’s not someone who’s easily defeated.”
Cheng Che and Jiahui were surprised.
Jiahui could not help but ask, “You arranged for someone to stay by Sister Yin Jia’s side?”
Cheng Yi sighed. “Just like Cheng Che, she’s also my grandchild. Cheng Che has Jiang Jin watching over him so I naturally feel at ease. However, Yin Jia grew up in a den of lions so I was worried that she’d suffer a loss. She’s a little paranoid, but fortunately, it’s not to the extent where it’s incurable.” Then, she looked at Cheng Che and said, “Don’t worry about Ye Cheng’s matter. I won’t let Yin Jia get hurt.”
Cheng Che sighed softly before he asked, “What else do you know? Or perhaps, I should ask, what other things are you involved in?”
Cheng Yi looked at Cheng Che and her expression gradually turned serious as she asked, “I know a lot. Let me ask you, do you want the Yin family?”
Cheng Che was briefly stunned. Then, he said with a frown, “Why would I want the Yin family?”
“The Yin family’s status in S City isn’t inferior to the Mu family in M City. If you become the successor of the Yin family, you’ll have the same wealth, status, and foundation as Mu Chen. Moreover, you’re the rightful heir of the Yin family! As long as I’m around, no one in the Yin family can stand in your way,” Cheng Yi said with a very determined gaze.
Cheng Che said patiently, “I have no interest in competing with my brother in wealth, status, or foundation. I also don’t care about becoming the heir of the Yin family. I don’t want any relationship with the Yin family, and I only lied to them when I came here. I was angry that they wanted to risk my life so I wanted to teach them a lesson. I’m not interested in their assets, and I don’t want to seize them.”
Cheng Che looked at her grandson, feeling gratified, and once again, she was filled with gratitude toward her old friend for raising her grandson so well.
“A good man doesn’t need to rely on his family to get ahead. Cheng Che, I’m happy you have this thinking. My life is filled with ups and downs, and I’ve been both poor and rich. People like the Yin family who have no bottom line and would do anything for money will be punished sooner or later. A real man should use his own ability to get ahead,” Cheng Yi said, “Let’s make a deal. You do your thing, and I’ll do mine. We won’t interfere with each other. If, by chance, we have a conflict of interest, I’ll step back for you.”
Cheng Yi was very conscientious and self-aware. At the same time, she sighed inwardly. She thought that her words were almost like what her good friend might say.
Cheng Che was very clear and decisive. He said, “I only want to investigate their matters that harm people’s lives. As for the rest, I don’t care. I won’t touch the Yin family business as well.”
Cheng Yi looked at her grandson and smiled. “Very well. Then, I’ll let all of you watch a good show.”
…
After Cheng Yi left, Cheng Che did not speak for a long time. He was having a hard time calming his emotions.
Jiahui held his arm gently and said, “Cheng Che, if you have something on your mind, why don’t you say it? We can discuss it together. Don’t keep everything to yourself, okay?”
