Chapter 679 Hidden Scheme
Huo Chenhuan narrowed his eyes. There was a hint of danger in his expression. “You know that he likes you?”
“His mother once talked to my grandfather about a related topic…”
From the information in her previous life, that aunt should have mentioned this to her grandfather long ago.
However, Grandpa did not tell her. Instead, he secretly stopped Cheng Fenglang from coming into contact with her. He even secretly plotted to send Cheng Fenglang abroad for several years.
The old master was probably busy greeting guests today and did not notice the situation of the guests. That was why Cheng Fenglang took the opportunity… Huo Chenhuan’s expression darkened. A related topic? What kind of topic could the elders talk about? They were just trying to set them up.
“My grandfather did not agree because he knew that I wouldn’t like him.” Su Yayan lowered her eyes slightly. “Besides, I don’t think he really likes me. He likes the illusion he thinks he sees.”
As for the so-called obsession later on, in the end, it was just selfishness.
People were selfish. It was just that some people had a bottom line, while others did not.
Moreover, after Su Yayan calmed down and thought about it, she realized that this family wasn’t as simple as they seemed.
In her previous life, her uncle and aunt had never had a child and had never thought of adopting someone else’s child.
The Cheng family did not have a nominal heir, and neither did they want to adopt children. The most likely possibility was that one of Cheng Xiuqin’s two children would inherit the Cheng family.
Su Yuxuan had his own business. Compared to him, Su Yayan was more likely to become the heir.
If Cheng Fenglang married her, he might be able to take over the entire Cheng family in the future.
Evil people always liked to put on a dignified facade for the bad things they did. Only they themselves knew how many schemes there
were.
Huo Chenhuan could tell that Su Yayan really did not like that man. In fact, it could be said that she hated him. He heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time, his heart ached for him.
It was rare for Su Yayan to express her dislike for someone so openly. Before this, most of the people who had enjoyed this treatment were weirdos who had taken advantage of her.
Cheng Fenglang must have done something to make her feel repulsed.
Huo Chenhuan’s gaze turned cold. He was already planning to ask Gu Shaoyang and the others to investigate this family. The other thing was…
Huo Chenhuan’s eyes flashed coldly when he thought of the person he met “coincidentally” near the venue. He could tell that the person was annoyed and impatient.
Not long after Su Yayan and Huo Chenhuan left, Cheng Fenglang’s family also left.
The moment they got into the car, that Aunt Cheng’s face darkened. She did not hide her jealousy and hatred towards Cheng Junhao’s family.
“Isn’t it just giving birth to a son? It’s as if they’ve never had a child before. They can’t wait to make a fuss so that everyone knows about it. They’re still having a baby at such an old age. I wonder if they’re still around when the baby grows up.”
It was no wonder Aunt Cheng was so angry that her face was twisted. She had thought that the Cheng family would probably have no descendants, and their family might even get a share of the pie after Old Master Cheng pa.s.sed away.
In the end, Qin Xueru suddenly had a child, and all her gloating and greedy expectations were gone. How could she not be angry?
Aunt Cheng’s husband, who was also Cheng Fenglang’s father, frowned slightly when he heard his wife’s words. He said disapprovingly, “Cut it out. It’s a good thing to have a baby. Who curses others like you?”
