Chapter 228: 228 Change of fate! Zhou Hechen’s lifesaver [2 more updates]

Steward Sheng had been managing the Sheng Family’s affairs for nearly thirty years, and Sheng Yunyi had grown up under his watch.

Madam Sheng always had strict demands for Sheng Yunyi, even if she scored only 98 points during her elementary school years, she was required to kneel in the attic.

He had also felt sympathy for Sheng Yunyi, secretly sending her quite a few treats.

Who could have thought, the former mistress of the Sheng Family was harmed by Madam Sheng, and Sheng Ronghua even went so far as to poison and attempt to murder Patriarch Sheng.

Did Sheng Yunyi really not know any of these things?

Could it be that Sheng Yunyi was truly nothing more than a pure and immaculate white flower?

Steward Sheng’s gaze sharpened, he looked Sheng Yunyi up and down a few times and said flatly, "Miss Yunyi, since you have returned just in time, I have received Young Master’s orders, starting now, the Sheng Family is splitting, and I regret to inform you that you can no longer continue living in the old residence."

"Big, Big Brother?" Sheng Yunyi’s smile froze, "Isn’t Big Brother in, in..."

"It seems you indeed don’t know anything." Steward Sheng shook his head, "The patriarch has awakened, and the one who poisoned him was not the Young Master, but your own flesh and blood, your younger brother. Naturally, the Young Master is not a suspect and has been released."

Like a bolt from the blue, Sheng Yunyi’s lips trembled, and she turned pale as paper in an instant, "My brother, how could he do such a thing? He did it? Father has been so good to him..."

"Miss Yunyi, things that even you are aware of, the patriarch knows as well, therefore he is very disappointed and angry." Steward Sheng’s tone was cold, "Young Master Ronghua has been disowned by the Sheng Family, and Young Master Huaiqian demands severe punishment for him."

Sheng Yunyi’s body wobbled, almost falling over.

Of course, she knew that the perpetrator who had poisoned Patriarch Sheng was Sheng Ronghua, and she had not stopped him, only indirectly inquired once.

In matters of familial relationships, she had always been indifferent, aligning herself with those who benefited her, and flattering those she needed to.

Patriarch Sheng was among them.

Whether Patriarch Sheng lived or died, she felt not the slightest flicker of emotion.

But now, her interests had been severely violated!

"Since it is the order of Big Brother, I can accept it." Sheng Yunyi’s eyes brimmed with tears, "Uncle Steward, I will take my things and leave now."

Seeing her in this state, Steward Sheng felt a twinge of compassion and couldn’t help saying, "Young Master, Miss Yunyi is completely unaware, perhaps we should reconsider—"

"Sheng Yunyi." Sheng Huaiqian indeed spoke up.

Sheng Yunyi stopped, but did not turn around, "Is there anything else Big Brother needs me to do?"

A secret smile crept over her lips.

She knew that Sheng Huaiqian wouldn’t really just send her away like this.

She was now an orphan; driving her away, did the Sheng Corporation not care about its reputation?

However—

Sheng Huaiqian said coldly, "If I hear even a whisper in Jiangcheng about Miss Ye being used as your stand-in, you know what the consequences will be."

Sheng Yunyi’s body shook, she stumbled, barely containing herself, she turned back to look at Sheng Huaiqian incredulously, "Big Brother, you..."

"Did you really think I would keep you here?" said Sheng Huaiqian, "You are already twenty-five years old, Father has left you property and funds, is it that hard to live on your own?"

Sheng Yunyi’s teeth were nearly clenched to breaking.

The money she’d been given, how could it possibly be enough for her?

Ye Wanlan had played her cards well, even charming Sheng Huaiqian.

At least she and Sheng Huaiqian shared blood ties, what right did Ye Wanlan have?

Sheng Yunyi’s eyelashes drooped down, she could only borrow the Zhou Family’s power now, she must find a way, to make Ye Wanlan disappear from Jiangcheng as soon as possible!

**

The changes in the Sheng Family were substantial, including involvement in criminal cases, which also stirred up a huge commotion online.

Moreover, netizens have always loved watching the feuds of wealthy families, making the incident highly topical.

[This family is terrifying, thankfully they’re all locked up now, otherwise who knows what could have happened under their leadership at Sheng Corporation?]

[Otherwise why be a family? All fond of poisoning.]

[Is this what corporate battles in reality are like? Is there something missing in Sheng Ronghua’s brain?]

[Still have to give it to the Young Master of the Sheng Family. I heard Sheng Corporation and Pulling the Sky Company have reached a partnership. Looking forward to their joint venture, launching better products!]

"Sister Lan, as you predicted, the stocks of the Sheng Family have risen quite a bit." Inside the CEO’s office, Fang Qingli placed down the prepared documents, "Sheng Huaiqian has also been quick on his feet, within just a week, he thoroughly replaced the management with his own people, and the powers of several shareholders like President Qi are being undermined by him."

"Good." Ye Wanlan clasped her hands, "Now that the Sheng Family is dealt with, look into the recent activities of the Qin Family and Xu Family."

Both the Qin and Xu families were not squeaky-clean entrepreneurs; the Qin Family had already ’whitened’ itself, but the Xu Family was still involved in some gray areas.

Ye Wanlan’s eyes narrowed slightly.

If it’s the gray area, then she’ll use the methods of that very area.

Fang Qingli was very pleased, "I’ve just finished my work as well, so I can go to Fengyuan with you, Sister Lan!"

"Go to Fengyuan?" Jiang Xulin, who had been drowsy, immediately perked up, "I want to go too."

Zhou Yixiang thought for a moment, "If my reexamination goes well, I can go too."

"When is the reexamination?" Ye Wanlan turned her head.

"My reexamination is tomorrow, I’m a bit nervous." said Zhou Yixiang, "I don’t know if I’ll be able to successfully enter Yunjing University."

"Yixiang, don’t be nervous, let me tell you some good news." Ye Wanlan smiled faintly, "I’ve had the factory produce your new jewelry design, two complete sets."

Zhou Yixiang’s eyes widened: "Is it really possible to make it?"

Sometimes her designs were too complex, even whimsical, and she had been criticized by her tutor as being ’all talk and no action,’ with current craft techniques being unable to realize the physical product.

So she had no choice but to follow the rules and consider the feasibility of craftsmanship in her design.

To her surprise, with Pulling the Sky’s current craft, they were actually able to produce all of her designs.

"Yes, one set will be the shop’s treasure and is prepared to be displayed this week," Ye Wanlan nodded, "I’ve sent the other set to a friend, as a way to return a favor."

"Thank you, Sister Wanlan," Zhou Yixiang expressed her heartfelt thanks, "Now I can design with peace of mind."

"Yes, rest assured," Ye Wanlan smiled slightly, "Design boldly, leave the rest to me to realize, trust in our ancestors’ craftsmanship."

Zhou Yixiang’s designs were bold and outstanding, which was exactly what the company needed.

At that moment, the phone "beeped" twice.

[World’s Richest]: Does it look good?

[World’s Richest]: [Picture]

The picture was of a set of jewelry—crown, earrings, necklace, ring, bracelet... everything was there.

It was all made of jade and gold, but it didn’t look tacky.

[Cultured Person]: How much money did Rich Sister spend this time?

[World’s Richest]: It didn’t cost anything, Sister Yunyi gave it to me.

[Cultured Person]: This seems to be Shenzhou’s ancient jewelry craftsmanship, right? I remember there was a company that could make such jewelry.

[Ghostbuster Bro]: I’ve said it, there’s nothing that Sister Yunyi can’t handle in this world!

[Yunyi]: Let me know if there’s anything else you need.

[Ghostbuster Bro]: No problem!

[Yunyi]: That wasn’t meant for you.

[World’s Richest]: Ghostbuster’s been getting cocky lately, thinking he has the same place in Sister Yunyi’s heart as I do, must be because he’s been doing too many tasks for the Psychic Affairs Office, he’s dreaming even when awake.

Wen Chaosheng stared at this line of text, feeling somewhat depressed.

He was indeed just a part of Sister Yunyi and Rich Sister’s play!

However, Wen Chaosheng soon perked up again.

After all, in this group, he was the first one who had met Sister Yunyi in person.

When the time came, he definitely had to show off!

**

At this very moment, at the Zhou Family Old Residence.

The sudden change in the Sheng Corporation had also altered Jiangcheng’s dynamics, with Patriarch Zhou and Madam Zhou rushing to the Zhou Corporation to take their seats.

Zhou Hechen didn’t go because he had just settled Sheng Yunyi, and he was a bit tired at the moment.

"Brother Hechen, with the Sheng Family in such a state, are you really still planning to marry... Sister Yunyi?" Xu Li couldn’t understand, "Even if you insist, my uncle and auntie definitely won’t..."

These scions of wealthy families had no say in their own marriages.

Their marriages had to bring certain benefits to the family.

Although the Sheng Family hadn’t fallen and even secured a partnership with Pulling the Sky Company—on an upward trajectory headed for even greater glory—it was now under Sheng Huaiqian’s sole control.

With Patriarch Sheng left paralyzed by poisoning, all power had been transferred to Sheng Huaiqian.

Sheng Huaiqian, being the legitimate son, and his mother having been poisoned by Madam Sheng, of course wouldn’t tolerate Sheng Yunyi continuing to live a life of comfort in the Sheng Family.

Currently, the Sheng Family had no place for Sheng Yunyi to stay, nor could it be her support.

Even though Sheng Yunyi had excellent painting skills and was cultured and well-mannered, without the protection of the Sheng Family, the Zhou Family would not possibly let her in.

If Zhou Hechen stubbornly decided to marry Sheng Yunyi, Patriarch Zhou and Madam Zhou would surely be even more displeased with him.

Xu Li hesitated and said, "Brother Hechen, maybe you shouldn’t..."

Zhou Hechen cut him off, saying coldly, "Xu Li, if it weren’t for Yunyi saving me back then, I might not even be alive now."

How could he ignore and be ungrateful to the person who saved his life?

Xu Li fell silent.

"Back in South City, I was kidnapped," Zhou Hechen pressed on his brow and sighed softly, "Luckily, Yunyi showed up and called the police, otherwise..."

Xu Li was hearing Zhou Hechen talk about the incident in such detail for the first time and nodded in agreement, "It was the right thing to do, Sister Yunyi has always been kindhearted."

But suddenly, he sensed something was off.

South City?

Zhou Hechen’s accident happened when he was nine years old during winter, and at that time, he remembered Madam Sheng asking Madam Xu to take care of Sheng Yunyi and went to travel to Harbor City.

It seemed that Sheng Yunyi hadn’t visited South City at that time?

Xu Li opened his mouth: "Brother Hechen, could you be mistaken?"
