Chapter 198: Keep the Prize Within the Family
Su Yayan gazed at her grandfather, who looked like he had swallowed a fly. He rolled up his sleeves and looked like he was ready to hit someone any moment.
She froze for a moment and hurriedly stepped forward to hug his arm. She was a little dumbfounded. “No, Grandpa, no one said anything to me. I simply think Chenhuan is too good, so…”
Grandpa Cheng’s expression eased up a little when he heard that, but he still tugged the corners of his lips and asked sourly, “How is he good?”
Su Yayan could hear the dissatisfaction in his tone. She smiled and said, “He’s good in all aspects. He is handsome, gentle with me, devoted, and covers my shortcomings…”
Grandpa Cheng could not bear to listen anymore after listening to her lavish praises on Huo Chenhuan. “How do you know that he is devoted? How long have you known each other? You should be careful of being deceived!”
“I trust that he won’t lie to me.”
He had watched after her for a lifetime and gave everything up to avenge her after her death. He even left everything behind after seeking his revenge and went on to embrace death without second thoughts.
If he was not devoted, there would be no one in this world who could be considered devoted.
“Hmph, find a time to ask him over. I want to see how good this man is that you constantly speak so highly of him.”
Su Yayan smiled. “Sure.”
After Grandpa Cheng had calmed down, he suddenly asked, “Why did you choose your Uncle Cheng’s shop? If I remember correctly, there are many shops under your parents’ name. If you say the word, they would be delighted to give them to you.”
“My parents do have a lot of shops under their name, but those shop locations are not as good as Uncle Cheng’s.”
“It is only because of this?”
Su Yayan was slightly startled and said jokingly, “Grandpa, do you think my medicinal cuisine is profitable?”
“If something unique and useful isn’t profitable, then what else is profitable?”
“Since it is profitable and I will be able to make good money from it, I should keep the prize within the family. It is better to benefit our family than outsiders, right?”
Grandpa Cheng looked at this child who he had practically brought up singlehandedly and was suddenly shocked that the little girl who liked to run around behind him had really grown up.
Although the Cheng family was a scholarly family with extensive connections and many good friends, they also had many enemies.
In the past few years, some people who did not like them had seen that he was growing old, and they also noticed that Cheng Junhao did not have a successor in his bloodline.
They did not dare to do anything in public, but behind his back, some of the family’s side branches started to brew plots that affected the peace within the family.
Although the Cheng family had connections, they could not solely rely on their connections when solving problems. When money was needed, a penny could even kill a hero.
Grandpa Cheng thought that he had concealed these bad things from Cheng Junhao quite well, and even Cheng Xiuqin and others did not know.
Unexpectedly, it was noticed by a little girl like Su Yayan.
Cheng Junhao did not know the value of the Chinese herbs Su Yayan had on hand. He thought that Su Yayan was acting on a whim and wanted to play around, and at most, he would only lose some money.
As for the dividends Su Yayan mentioned, he felt warm after hearing her suggestion, but he did not pay much attention to it.
Grandpa Cheng was different. He knew very well that if Su Yayan could really open the store and stick to it, then the dividends… would far exceed Cheng Junhao’s imagination.
“Yanyan, you are a good child. Uncle Cheng and Aunt Qin did not dote on you for nothing all these years.”
Su Yayan smiled. “Uncle Cheng and Aunt Qin dote on me, but don’t you love me too? I know who is good to me in this world.”
Of course she knew who treated her well!
