Chapter 793: Don’t Exert Yourself So Much
“I’m afraid that once I’m buried, I won’t be able to face the ancestors of the Sheng family. Only when Eighth Brother takes over will I truly be at ease.”
After Sheng Xiao heard this, he glanced at the old man and earnestly promised, “I can take over and I’ll clean up Huang Yao. When Third Brother comes out, I’ll return it in one piece.”
“How great would it be if I could resolve the enmity between me and Sheng Kai?” The old man’s eyes were wide open and his imagination was wild.
“You don’t have to exert yourself so much.” Sheng Xiao could not help saying. “Not everything can be as you wish. If your health permits, arrange for a board meeting to be held tomorrow. If the matter is not resolved during that time, you won’t be able to rest in peace.”
The old man sighed. He also knew that he was exerting himself.
“Yufei, call and inform him,” the old man said to Ren Yufei. “But… Eighth Brother… If one day Sheng Kai ends up in your hands, will you let him live?”
“Ask Sheng Kai that. See if he’s willing to let Xiao Xiao go.” Mu Qiqi immediately returned the question to the old man.
Old Man Sheng knew that was impossible, so he didn’t say anything. He merely looked at Mu Qiqi.
“If you really want to wait until your little great-grandson is born, then don’t care about the Sheng family after this board meeting. You’ve survived the major surgery, but you can’t survive holding onto the hearts of the people.”
The old man pouted. He did not realize that he was becoming more and more like a child.
“You rest well. We’re all here to accompany you.”
Old Man Sheng saw that Mu Qiqi had secretly yawned a few times. She must be very tired.
However, she did not show any signs of impatience. She was very patient with this old man. Therefore, Old Man Sheng did not whine anymore and obediently lay down to rest.
However, he was reluctant to let go of Mu Qiqi’s hand even though he was asleep. When Sheng Xiao saw this, he snorted coldly.
Mu Qiqi quickly comforted him. “You’re jealous of this? You’d better think about how to take back Huang Yao tomorrow. That way, this old man will be at ease.”
“I’ll get Xu Che to send you back to rest. Having me here is enough.” Sheng Xiao pulled her hand out of Old Master Sheng’s and helped her up. He wanted to push her away.
However, Mu Qiqi leaned against him and sat down. “I’ll just lean on your shoulder and sleep for a while…”
“Grandpa is asleep. You guys can go back. I’ll be right here.” Ren Yufei saw that the two of them looked tired and urged them to go home.
After a while, Sheng Xiao carried Mu Qiqi and got up. He then instructed Ren Yufei, “Tomorrow, keep an eye on the old man’s health. I’ll take care of the rest.”
“Then, I’ll leave everything to you.”
Sheng Xiao did not say anything. He carried Mu Qiqi and left the hospital.
This little one was sleeping soundly in his arms.
..
The next day, Huang Yao received news that the chairman was personally hosting the shareholders meeting. Presumably, it was also to stabilize the recent unrest.
Yesterday, there were rumors that the old man was not feeling well and was in the hospital again. No one expected there to be a board meeting today.
Vice President Yang knew very well that the old man would intervene in this matter sooner or later. With his strength alone, even if he could shake Huang Yao for a while, he would not be able to shake its foundation.
After all, although Sheng Xiao had established his own family, he was Huang Yao’s strong backer.
Therefore, Vice President Yang hid in his office early in the morning, on the phone with Sheng Kai. He said, “Today, the chairman is personally holding a board of directors meeting. The plan can’t go on. I told Mr. Shen back then that I can’t overthrow the entire Sheng family by myself. You guys didn’t believe me. Now that I’ve been exposed, I can’t even protect myself anymore.”
“What are you panicking about?” On the other side of the phone, Shen Yu and Sheng Kai were together and said calmly, “Since he’s going to attend the board meeting personally, let’s give him a gift. He’s already so old, why would he attend a board meeting…”
“What gift?”
“He’s already going to die, why bother with the affairs of young people? Don’t you think it’s a hindrance?” Shen Yu held the cat in his arms and kept scratching the cat’s chin. “I think this old thing is always very lucky. I’ll prepare some things in a while. When the time comes, you just have to give it to him.”
“You want to kill someone?” Sheng Kai understood what he meant and reached out to grab his lapel.
“What? You follow Teacher, and you still care about that little bit of human life? I know you hate that old thing. Don’t you want him to die?” Shen Yu snorted in derision. “Don’t deceive yourself. You can’t wait for the Sheng family to be completely wiped out!”
Sheng Kai did not say anything. Inside, he felt like a whirlwind had taken over.
He knew that Shen Yu had evil intentions toward his grandfather, but he was hesitating whether he should stop him or not…
What did this mean? This meant that Shen Yu knew him very well and knew what he wanted in his heart.
To save him?
Or not to save him?
“Think about it carefully. Even if you saved him, you still won’t get the Sheng family, nor will you be able to get him to like you.”
“You don’t have to say it,” Sheng Kai said angrily.
“Do you know what your biggest problem is? You’re incapable, and you’re always kind to women! It doesn’t matter. It’s two o’clock in the afternoon. You still have a long time to think about it.”
Shen Yu put down the cat in his arms and returned to his room with a face full of contempt for Sheng Kai.
If it weren’t for the fact that this trash still had some value, he wouldn’t even bother to help him with his plans.
He was simply too stupid to be saved.
Sheng Kai sat down on the sofa. From start to finish, he was just a puppet that was being used and controlled. He didn’t know how far he wanted to go, but this was a matter of life and death. In the future, if and when the incident does happen, would he still be able to stay out of it?
Shen Yu prepared a small gift for Old Master Sheng. It was a photo of Sheng Bowen being humiliated in prison.
Could Old Master Sheng still remain seated on his pedestal after seeing these b.l.o.o.d.y things?
He did not think so.
..
In the afternoon, Ren Yufei helped Old Master Sheng onto his wheelchair after was.h.i.+ng him up in the hospital. However, before they left, Ren Yufei squatted and asked, “Grandpa, are you able to hold on? If you are still not feeling well, we will take a rain check.”
Old Master Sheng sat in his wheelchair, feeling more energetic than yesterday. He said to Ren Yufei, “It’s okay, we can set off.”
“Then we’ll head to Huang Yao. At the meeting, no matter what those directors say at the board meeting, I hope you won’t get angry. Your health is important. Moreover, it’s not worth getting angry at those people.”
“I know what to do.”
After saying that, Old Master Sheng waved his hand and signaled Ren Yufei to hurry up.
Perhaps this was the last time in his life that he would chair a meeting for the board of directors of Huang Yao. Once the meeting ended, regardless of success or failure, he would not have a hand in managing Huang Yao anymore.
After getting into the car, Old Master Sheng took out his phone and called his lawyer. “I’m going to change my will. Make some preparations.”
“Grandpa…”
