Chapter 560: I Can Even Disregard My Ancestors
Not long after, people came to the ward again. But, the Shengs did not recognize them. They requested to transfer the old man to another hospital together with the doctor.
Sheng Kai stood up and asked, “Who are you?”
“We are experts hired by Mr. Sheng Xiao to run a thorough check-up on Old Mr. Sheng and to draw a personalized treatment plan for him,” one of them answered.
“Sheng Xiao…” Hearing the name, Sheng Kai sneered. “He used to make Grandpa too angry to die, but now he is acting again.”
Right then, Sheng Bowen arrived at the hospital from Huang Yao and entered the ward. “What’s the matter?”
“Eighth Brother got some people to come here to treat Grandpa. His reason seems valid, but we all know what’s in Eighth Brother’s mind. Anyone with clear eyes can see what he plans to do, don’t you think so?” Sheng Kai stopped them. “We won’t let you do as you like.”
“Eighth Brother will not harm Grandpa.”
“Of course you believe him. I don’t. I have seen through the trick you and Eighth Brother are trying to play here. You want to control Grandpa, so that you can control Huang Yao, right? No way!” Sheng Kai would not budge.
“Second Young Master, your action might only worsen the condition of the old chairman!”
“Stop using this to scare me,” Sheng Kai said firmly. “I won’t let greedy and ambitious people like you touch Grandpa unless he comes to talk to me in person.”
Seeing this, Sheng Bowen rolled his eyes. Just as he was about to open his mouth, the door was pushed open again. And the man said calmly, “What do you want to discuss?”
“Eighth Brother.” Sheng Bowen looked at Sheng Xiao immediately.
When the doctors and nurses saw him, they knew the real person in charge had come. Because Sheng Xiao’s aura was very strong, to the extent that n.o.body could ignore it.
“Since you have come, great. We’ll talk.” Sheng Kai stood up. “Go out, the rest of you.”
“Why aren’t you the ones to leave?” Sheng Bowen couldn’t help but ask.
“I will not let you touch Grandpa before anything is decided.”
Sheng Bowen was speechless.
“Everyone stays,” Sheng Xiao said directly. “You can say anything you want here. I don’t want to waste time on you.”
“Waste your time?” Sheng Kai laughed rather sadly. “Eighth Brother, you have trusted me before. Otherwise, you would not have handed over Huang Yao to me. So why are you going against me now?”
“Don’t you know the reason?” Sheng Xiao walked to the sofa and sat down. “You were wrong. I didn’t hand Huang Yao over to you. Second Brother did, who was killed by you, in case you forgot. Second Brother was not one to humiliate and be wary of his brother just to guard his power. But you are. You are afraid of people stealing your power, s.n.a.t.c.hing everything from you, so you have become a very selfish man. How do you have the face to ask for my trust? You asked me once if I regretted leaving behind the mess of Huang Yao. Now, I can answer you firmly that I don’t regret it one bit. Because your misfortune is not caused by me. You have indulged in the halo of the Crown Prince too much while you complain about me leaving you a lot of problems to solve. But if I had never left, the position of the Crown Prince would never have been yours. You want to get the fruit, but you don’t want to sacrifice anything. Do you think such a thing exists in this world?”
“I know you’re good with words. I can’t beat you.”
Sheng Kai had wanted to talk to him at first, but now, he wanted to escape instead.
“You are such a failure.” Sheng Xiao commented. “You don’t even qualify to be the receptionist in Zhongteng. Let me be honest with you. I look down on you. You don’t even qualify to be my opponent. Third Brother submitted to you all this time. I don’t have the time to do so. Do you think you can stop me?” He looked at Sheng Kai coldly. His tone had become much sharper. He was not giving any face to Sheng Kai.
“You… and her!” Sheng Xiao pointed at Gu Ziling. “During Grandpa’s treatment, I don’t want to see these faces in the hospital. If you want to force your way, I will play along with you.”
“Eighth Brother, you simply like to oppress the powerless!”
“That’s because you are not capable,” Sheng Xiao replied straightforwardly. “Why didn’t you listen when I advised you nicely? You are the one who asked for it.”
When Sheng Xiao’s anger magnified, all the people in the ward felt fearful.
Since he established Zhongteng, he seldom acted this way. But today, the one causing trouble in the ward was one of a kind.
“Sheng Xiao, Kai is your brother.”
“I am someone who can disregard even my ancestors.” Sheng Xiao refuted Gu Ziling with sharp words. “Gu Ziling, your contribution to the changes in Sheng Kai is not small. If you don’t want your maternal grandfather’s business to be completely destroyed, you better avoid me whenever you see me in the future. You disgust me. I give you two three seconds to disappear from my sight. Otherwise, I will show you the new Sheng Xiao.”
When he finished his words, everyone’s heart made a hard thud.
Sheng Kai froze for two seconds. In the end, he walked out of Grandpa Sheng’s ward.
And of course, after her husband left, how could Gu Ziling still dare to stay?
“Eighth Brother is so scary when he gets angry.”
Seeing them leave, Hu Ran quickly whispered into Third Brother’s ear.
“He sure is. If not, how do you think he can manage the Sheng family all these years?” said Third Brother.
“Amazing.”
“Mr. Sheng, I don’t see any need for consultation. Old Mr. Sheng is already awake,” said the doctor who was examining Grandpa Sheng. “Maybe your words that stimulated him, so he regained his consciousness.”
Sheng Bowen quickly looked forward. Sure enough, Grandpa Sheng had opened his eyes.
“Grandpa, how are you feeling?”
Grandpa Sheng found it difficult to talk after being in a coma for a whole night. “I… I’m fine.”
He had indeed woken up because of Eighth Brother’s voice.
But he did not know that Sheng Xiao scolded Second Brother.
“Since he is already awake, let the doctors examine him once more. I still have things to settle so I’ll go back to Zhongteng now.” Sheng Xiao did not want to let Grandpa Sheng know he came.
“Eighth Brother, you still care about Grandpa, right?”
Sheng Xiao did not reply and let Xu Che open the door. His figure disappeared in the corridor of the hospital in just a short time.
At the same time, Sheng Kai and his wife were in the garden of the hospital.
“Ziling, you know what? I’m really tired. I want to leave the Sheng family entirely. I want to start my own business. I really don’t want to be treated like a dog by Sheng Xiao. I don’t want to be ordered to do this and that anymore.”
How could Gu Ziling not be angry as well?
“Kai, why don’t we leave and start our own family? I’ll get help from my maternal grandfather. And with our shares in Huang Yao, it should be enough.”
