Chapter 458: Chapter 458: The Gossip Came Back to Bite Me!

"How is it? Why don’t you say something!"

An elderly man with white hair, dressed in a new-style Tang suit, walked in excitedly from the doorway, loudly asking as he walked.

Half the people in the hall were watching the commotion, while the other half remained silent.

"Second Uncle, you’re here."

"Of course I’m here! I’m asking you a question! How is my big brother’s condition!"

"Second Uncle, my father still has hope!"

Cheng Shihuai took a deep breath and said excitedly, with the corners of his eyes a bit wet, which he wiped away when no one was looking.

Everyone knew what Second Uncle was thinking, but he was also unable to contain his excitement at the moment. Two years!

A full two years!

"Good! Good!"

Cheng Hongkang grabbed the hand of the servant beside him and repeated the word "good" twice. Those unaware might really think there was a deep affection between them!

Moreover, when he saw Yun, it was as if he had never let anyone contact her.

"This must be Doctor Yun, right? Truly young and promising!"

"Second Master Cheng."

Yun Zhi greeted him lightly. Her smiling face clearly showed more anger, yet he could still laugh heartily. It seemed that this Second Master Cheng wasn’t entirely without guile.

Maybe it was all an act?

Apart from Second Master Cheng’s loud voice, Cheng Ruosheng was also delighted when she heard the confirmed answer and grasped her husband’s hand a bit tighter, her eyes filled with tears.

Her father still had hope!

At that moment she felt a tinge of regret, but for her husband and the entire family, she was willing to accept it. Even if she had to choose again, she’d make the same choice.

Because her father’s health had always been good, she hadn’t been worried, but after hearing her big brother’s words, she felt even more remorseful.

For so many years, she hadn’t cared about her father at all. On several nights, she regretted it. Even if the relationship was broken off, she could have secretly cared about her father, but she hadn’t done so.

She really was an unworthy daughter!

Chi Dayi sensed his wife’s thoughts and held her delicate hand in his palm, gently patting her as he embraced her.

Everything was his fault.

For so many years, he had been hiding and avoiding.

Now he would neither hide nor avoid it anymore. He would take the initiative to protect his wife and daughter!

Just then, Third Master Cheng, who was fashionably late, arrived. Compared to the exaggerated acting of the second brother, he was wheeled in, eyes red.

"Third Uncle."

Cheng Shihuai treated Cheng Hongseng much better than Cheng Hongkang, even though both he smiled at, there was a difference.

"Big brother he..."

"Third Uncle, my father still has hope!"

Cheng Shihuai walked to his side, "Doctor Yun says a thorough examination is still needed before they can provide a final treatment plan, but the medical process will be lengthy, and results won’t be seen quickly."

"We can wait!"

Cheng Hongseng clenched his hand and choked up, "Doctor, whatever it takes, as long as big brother can be cured!"

"Are you just saying this!"

Cheng Hongkang gave him a disdainful glance, "This is the renowned surgeon Yun!"

"Second Brother."

Cheng Hongseng called him once, then fell silent.

Seeing this, Cheng Shihuai quickly invited everyone to the dining room for a meal.

"Doctor Yun, thank you for your hard work, this way please."

"Mr. Cheng, no need to be so polite. I’m Youyou’s friend, according to seniority, you are the elder, and I’m the junior."

"No trouble at all. Your relationship with Youyou is your business, we will just proceed as usual, make yourself at home, don’t be formal."

As he said this, he looked indulgently at Chi Youyou, "Youyou, you’re the great benefactor of our Cheng Family, you must eat a lot today."

"Uncle, even if you didn’t say, I would eat a lot."

Chi Youyou smiled with eyes curved like a crescent moon.

Today’s lunch was mostly the Cheng Family members, the formal banquet would start in the afternoon.

At the table, only Yun Zhi and Wilson were outsiders.

By the time Cheng Shujin arrived, the meal had already started, and he had heard everything while on the road.

Now, seeing Yun Zhi, he was still a bit dazed.

They didn’t know each other, but he had met Yun Zhi in Huaxia, the eldest daughter of the Yun Family, now the one in charge of the Yun Group.

Unexpectedly, she was the famed Yun!

Then looking at Chi Youyou, eating happily beside, had she known all along?

"Shujin, you’re late, come over and say hello."

Cheng Shujin suppressed his curiosity, walked to his father’s side, and greeted everyone in turn.

Forget it, things are too complicated, just thinking about it gives him a headache, as long as grandpa still has hope!

These were his sincere feelings.

He had deep memories of grandpa; when he was young, grandpa always dazed at the swing. Whether he played or not, grandpa would daze.

Later he learned that grandpa was missing his aunt.

In the afternoon, people were either in the hall or strolling and chatting in the yard, quite at ease.

Chi Youyou and Yun Zhi nestled together, looking like they were chatting, but actually, they constantly observed everyone in the yard.

"What’s going on?"

Chi Youyou turned around just as Cheng Shujin came over, wanting to speak but hesitating.

"If you have something to say, just say it. Sister Yun Zhi is not an outsider."

Cheng Shujin glanced at Yun Zhi and finally spoke, "Did you know Song Shiyu came to M Country?"

Chi Youyou nodded, "He has some business matters to handle."

This was not something that needed secrecy.

"Then do you know..."

Halfway through his sentence, he looked over at Yun Zhi again.

"Know what?"

Chi Youyou was baffled by his mysterious behavior, what was the situation, "Why do you keep looking at Sister Yun Zhi?"

"Everyone’s saying Song Shiyu coming abroad for business is fake, but it’s true that he’s seeing a woman! Also... also says it’s a foreign woman, Yun’s assistant!"

Cheng Shujin gritted his teeth and said it all in one breath.

"Seeing a woman?"

"A foreign woman?"

Chi Youyou exclaimed in surprise, drawing attention from many people.

"Isn’t Chi Youyou engaged to Mr. Song?"

"Yeah, I forgot until you mentioned it, wow!"

"He goes abroad to cheat, but his fiancée is also there, how thrilling!"

"Keep your voice down, Yun’s here, and that woman’s her assistant ~"

...

The gossip drifted into Chi Youyou’s ears; she blinked and realized.

Yun’s assistant?

Foreign woman?

Wasn’t that herself! 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

She exchanged glances with Yun Zhi, who shrugged to indicate her ignorance.

Chi Youyou gave everyone an awkward smile, who would’ve thought, coming abroad she’d hear gossip about her fiancé, and the protagonist of the gossip was actually her...

Was this the legendary ’eating melons till it hits you’?

I wonder if Song Shiyu knows, he’s quite a celebrity in M Country now!

Just as she was thinking, someone shouted, "Is that Mr. Song?"
