Chapter 840: Designation
Naturally, the ‘Grandma’ the couple spoke about was Jiang Jin.
In Cheng Che’s heart, the Mu family house was his home. It was only at that place that he was treated sincerely.
…
Yin Jia’s body was tense, and her expression was wary as she looked at Cheng Yi, who was sitting in front of her.
Cheng Yi had lost the cautiousness she had when faced with Cheng Che when faced with Yin Jia. She asked bluntly, “I heard that you sent Guan Tang to Yi Garden?”
Yin Jia was slightly taken aback. She did not expect Cheng Yi to ask about this matter. She had expected Cheng Yi to talk about how she had no choice back then and about the hards.h.i.+ps she suffered before asking for forgiveness. After all, back then, they had abandoned her; she could not forgive them. However, faced with Cheng Yi who did not play by the rules at all, she instinctively nodded in response to Cheng Yi’s question.
“Well done! You can’t be soft-hearted when dealing with your love rival,” Cheng Yi said praisingly.
Yin Jia frowned and asked unhappily, “Why do you want to see me?”
…..
Yin Jia decided to be direct. Since Cheng Yi did not intend to explain herself, she would save herself the trouble.
Cheng Yi noticed Yin Jia’s unhappy expression, but she did not pay attention to it. She smiled and said, “You’re just like your father. All your emotions show on your face. With this, it’s easy for your opponents to see through you and gain the upper hand.”
Yin Jia sneered. “I grew up with my father. If I’m not like him, then who else can I be like?”
Cheng Yi shook her index finger at Yin Jia and said, “You grew up with your grandfather; it has nothing to do with your father. Moreover, Cheng Che has never seen his mother, but he’s 100% like her. Stop complaining. In this world, if you want to compare who’s more miserable, you won’t win first place. When I said you’re like your father, I’m reminding you to keep your cool.”
Yin Jia was choked by Cheng Yi’s words to the point where she could not speak for a moment. She was angry, and she could not help the tears that welled up in her eyes.
Cheng Yi leaned back against her chair before she tapped her finger lightly on the table. She said, “Back then, your mother and I left, leaving you at home. It’s indeed us who wronged you. Your mother is no longer around so the only person who can apologize to you is me. Yin Jia, it doesn’t mean anything to me if you hate me or if you forgive me. I don’t care. You’re my granddaughter so I won’t mistreat you. I’m determined to obtain the Yin family. I spoke to your brother, and he doesn’t want anything to do with the Yin family so I’ll hand it over to you in the end.”
Yin Jia looked at Cheng Yi in shock. Finally, she asked slowly, “What if my brother wants it?”
Cheng Yi shrugged. “I’ll give him whatever he wants. There’s no need to ask such a stupid question. If he wants the Yin family, I’ll naturally give you something else. Don’t talk about fairness to me, Yin Jia. There’s no point. Cheng Che is my grandson, and I owe him more. However, you’re also my granddaughter so I won’t mistreat you.”
Yin Jia was shocked and hurt by Cheng Yi’s frankness, but she was also attracted by Cheng Yi’s words.
Cheng Yi looked at her granddaughter and sighed inwardly. ‘Indeed, when raising a child, the environment is very important. Yin Jia has the pettiness unique to the Yin family. Since she was young, her mind was already twisted. She’s also vicious and greedy.’
Yin Jia finally put away her self-righteous indignation and arrogance before she asked tentatively, “Are you telling the truth?”
Cheng Yi nodded lightly. “Your father betrayed your mother. Although your mother is no longer around, I am here. I can not forgive him, and I will not acknowledge the children he had with that woman. As for Qin Shuang, that b.i.t.c.h’s child, he won’t have his turn at all. I only have you and Cheng Che. I’m determined to obtain the Yin family. Since your brother doesn’t want it, when I’m done, I’ll leave it to you to manage.”
