If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 1683: I’ve Known You for 403 Days (6)

Chapter 1683: Chapter 1683: I’ve Known You for 403 Days (6)

The old doctor was about to say something when Wen Zhiyuan’s phone rang. He whispered, "I’ll take this call."

"Okay, go ahead."

Wen Zhiyuan went to the window: "Mom."

"Son, where are you? Come back quickly, something happened at home."

"What happened? Please clarify." Wen Zhiyuan immediately grabbed his car keys and started walking out.

"Take the next flight back. Your father is hospitalized because your aunt and uncle upset him," the woman said anxiously, "Come back quickly, and there’s the matter of the company too. Your mom can’t handle it."

"Okay, I’ll come back right away."

As Wen Zhiyuan drove, he listened to his mother’s explanation over the phone, hurriedly booking a flight ticket.

It turns out that his father’s health had been deteriorating, and he has been working hard these years, delegating many of the company affairs to his aunt and uncle.

Unexpectedly, his aunt and uncle had been eyeing the company for a long time and planned to take it over now that his father was hospitalized.

Upon hearing this, Wen Zhiyuan felt very guilty, realizing he wasn’t a filial son.

If he had returned home earlier to take over the company, perhaps it wouldn’t have fallen into someone else’s hands!

Wen Zhiyuan rushed onto the plane without even bringing his luggage.

When the plane landed in C City, he took a taxi straight to the company.

However, before he could enter the hospital room, his uncle’s men stopped him.

"Wen Zhiyuan, your father’s condition is very serious. I think we need to discuss it," Luo Tiancheng looked at Wen Zhiyuan, squinting his eyes.

"Uncle, have you already taken control of the company?" Wen Zhiyuan wasn’t very surprised.

"You’re smart. Let me analyze it for you. Your father is seriously ill, and you’re unwilling to return home. So I think handing the company over to me is a great choice, don’t you agree?"

"Did you have a hand in my father’s illness?"

"You’re a doctor. You should know your father’s health condition," Luo Tiancheng replied calmly, "If you don’t compete with me and hand over the company, I’ll continue to make it great. But if you do, I can’t guarantee what might happen."

Luo Tiancheng’s tone was calm but full of underlying threats.

Wen Zhiyuan looked at his own uncle and smirked coldly, "You’ve been plotting in the country for a long time. Do you think I can compete with you?"

"So you’re voluntarily giving up?" Luo Tiancheng looked at Wen Zhiyuan meaningfully.

Wen Zhiyuan didn’t answer him immediately. He had thought it over on the journey, and already had the answer in his heart.

Having been abroad for many years, he couldn’t match Luo Tiancheng’s connections and resources in the country. Competing with his uncle might not yield any benefits and might end disastrously.

His father was now critically ill, and his mother was powerless. He had been abroad for many years, and there was no way he could compete with a cunning old fox like Luo Tiancheng.

Moreover, his aunt already had shares in the company, so he had no chance of winning.

In truth, the most important reason was that he didn’t want to compete.

He had promised the butler that he would stay in Australia to take care of Shen Di.

He could forego power, but not his beloved.

"So, you’re not giving me a definitive answer? Crown Prince of the Wen Family," Luo Tiancheng pressed Wen Zhiyuan.

"The Wen Family’s company was given to my father by my grandfather. I can give it to you," Wen Zhiyuan said calmly, "But I have a few conditions that you must agree to."

Luo Tiancheng was a bit surprised. He hadn’t expected Wen Zhiyuan to agree so quickly.

Initially, he was prepared for a major struggle.

"Tell me, if I can agree to them, I will," Luo Tiancheng said indifferently.

Originally, Luo Tiancheng hadn’t intended to completely destroy the Wen Family, after all, there was still emotional connection.

"First, the Wen Family members can choose any position within the Wen Family Medical Group. Second, ensure that our lifestyle does not change. Third, if we need any help, I hope my uncle can assist unconditionally."

Luo Tiancheng hesitated for a while, "I can agree, but I don’t wish for this help to be unreasonable."

"The Wen Family members naturally won’t be unreasonable like some others," Wen Zhiyuan said indirectly.

"Alright, I agree," Luo Tiancheng didn’t think a young man could trick him.

"I’ll get the lawyer to draft a contract right away. I hope Uncle will sign it."

"No problem, but you really don’t plan to compete with me? Will you convince your parents? They...won’t give up until they die."

"You don’t need to worry about that, Uncle. I just hope you will guard the company well."

A trace of satisfaction finally appeared in Luo Tiancheng’s cunning eyes. He hadn’t expected Wen Zhiyuan to be so agreeable.

Wen Zhiyuan had no intention of taking over, and Luo Tiancheng knew that, but he had thought it was just talk.

Wen Zhiyuan no longer wanted any interaction with Luo Tiancheng and went to the hospital room to visit his father.

His mother was there too. He had already prepared his words when he flew over from Australia. He would convince them.

Luo Tiancheng was ambitious, but if the company was handed over to him, it wouldn’t decline.

"Zhiyuan, you’re finally back." Wen’s mother wiped her tears and held his hand.

"Mom, let’s have a word," Wen Zhiyuan whispered.

He had already seen his father sleeping soundly in the hospital bed. He still planned to speak to his mother first about this matter.

"What did you say?!" In the hallway, Wen’s mother was shocked upon hearing Wen Zhiyuan’s decision.

"I’ve considered this seriously," Wen Zhiyuan said calmly, "I have no management experience. If the company reaches my hands, I’m afraid I would fail it."

"So you’re willing to hand the company over to an outsider?"

"I’ve already signed an agreement with Uncle. The Wen Family remains the Wen Family, nothing will change."

"How can you be so unfilial? Your father worked hard for years, only to have the company fall into the hands of someone else. Aren’t you guilty at all?"

"But, I have no intention of being the chairman. I just want to be a doctor peacefully."

"Taking over the company won’t stop you from being a doctor!"

"Mom, if I compete with Uncle, how much chance do you think I have of winning?"

Wen’s mother kept silent, lowering her head. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"You must have anticipated it yourself. It can be said there is no chance of winning. Since there’s no chance, why must I compete? It’s better to seize the greatest benefits. If I lose, so what? Nothing is more important than being alive."

Wen Zhiyuan understood Uncle Luo Tiancheng well. If he ever competed with Luo Tiancheng and lost, Luo Tiancheng would surely eradicate the Wen Family.

Luo Tiancheng was very cunning, and he didn’t believe his mother wasn’t aware of that.

True to his prediction, Wen’s mother remained silent.

"Your father will be heartbroken..." Wen’s mother sighed after a long silence.

Usually young and gentle, Wen’s mother looked very haggard at the moment, without makeup and with red eyes.

"Don’t tell father about anything. Keep it from him," Wen Zhiyuan had already planned, "I’ll be with him during this time."

"Ayuan, come back, don’t stay in Australia," Wen’s mother looked at Wen Zhiyuan pleadingly.
