Chapter 210 Guo Yujun
"Good morning, Third Uncle."
Chi Chengling smiled, his eyes scanning Chi Jinghui up and down with disdain.
Chi Jinghui's temples were even whiter than before, his face was thin, and his deep eyes were like a still autumn pool, without any ripples.
"Cheng Ling is inside, you'd better go later."
"My brother's here? Then I'm even more determined to go in."
Chi Chengling guessed that he must have been turned away, unlike himself.
"The old man ordered that no one is allowed to enter."
Chi Jinghui cupped his hands and coughed lightly; the knitted sweater he was wearing was rather thin.
Chi Chengling raised his eyebrows and glanced at him sideways, as if mocking his ignorance.
“Third Uncle, now that Grandpa has handed over the Chi family to us, I am naturally different from you.”
"I heard that the board of directors nominated Cheng Ting as president this time, but it seems that you are not the vice president candidate recommended in the proposal."
Chi Jinghui's voice is hoarse, like an old guitar, deep and resonant.
Chi Chengling stood there, looking down at the man in the wheelchair, his hair flying wildly in the wind, each strand carrying a sneer.
"Third Uncle, this is not something you need to worry about. You just need to take care of yourself and live a few more days."
After saying that, Chi Chengling's lips curled up even wider, revealing his teeth as he spoke.
Chi Jinghui didn't even lift his eyelids; his eyes were icy, and the curve of his lips sent chills down one's spine.
"Xiao Che has been confirmed as vice president. According to the old man's arrangement, you are more suitable to go to the subsidiary."
Chi Chengling's smile froze, and displeasure slowly solidified in his pupils.
"You think I will believe it?"
"Believe it or not, you should know by this afternoon at the earliest, or by tomorrow at the latest."
"Why?"
"The old man has his own plans, we just need to listen to them."
Chi Jinghui's eyes, which held a half-smile, were wary of him.
"You're still young, you'll have plenty of opportunities in the future."
Chi Jinghui deliberately dragged out the last syllable, his tone extremely mischievous.
"Hehe, Third Uncle, you've got some impressive skills."
Chi Chengling had a lewd smile on his face as he rubbed his chin with one hand.
"I'm just stating the facts. As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't matter who the Chi family is handed over to."
The ringing of the cell phone interrupted their conversation. The moment Chi Chengling answered, his confident attitude vanished, replaced by an increasingly gloomy and indifferent one.
"Where am I inferior to them?"
Chi Chengling gripped his phone tightly, his gaze sharp, his body straightened, and his expression became even more ferocious, like a wild beast baring its fangs, ready to tear them to shreds.
"I go first."
The door to the small hall opened, and Chi Chengting stepped out with steady steps. He nodded slightly to Chi Jinghui, patted Chi Chengling on the shoulder, and showed little expression on his face.
Chi Jinghui sighed, pushed his wheelchair himself, and muttered to himself lazily.
"I'm getting old, I'm getting old."
Chi Chengling's eyes flashed with a fierce light, yet he seemed to be deep in thought.
"Brother, what did Grandpa say to you?"
"It's nothing, let's go back to the company."
Ignoring his younger brother's attitude, Chi Chengting left behind his back and the sound of his footsteps echoing in the quiet corridor.
Spring sunlight filtered through the leaves into the corridor, and under the shade of the trees, Chi Chengling seemed to be shrouded in shadow, with every ray of light distorting around him.
The veins on his forehead bulged with rage, his knuckles turned white from the force, and he seemed to want to crush the phone with the force he was exerting.
"Two dogs fight, play off."
Chi Chengling's eyes held contempt for them, and a hidden desire for power and victory. His lips curled upwards, devoid of any genuine smile, instead conveying a sense of wanting to engulf everything.
The car sped past, kicking up a cloud of dust. Chi Jinghui, standing on the third floor of the villa next to the old house, gazed into the distance, his eyes turning cold as he stared numbly at the pocket watch on his phone.
"Qiaoqiao, I'll be here to see you soon."
Chi Jinghui slowly pushed open the curtain, a chilling smile playing on his lips. The woman kneeling on the ground instinctively backed away.
He slowly approached, the sound of his wheelchair scraping against the floor like a suffocating weight on the woman's heart. Until her back pressed against the wall.
Chi Jinghui bent down, gently stroking her hair with his hand, and asked in a calm tone.
"What are you afraid of, Yu Jun?"
Guo Yujun felt a chill run through her body. Her delicate makeup was blurred, her hair, which had been styled in a bun, was now half loose, and her composed demeanor had become stiff.
"Jinghui, what do you want to know?"
Guo Yujun's dress was roughly torn, her fair skin was covered with bloodstains from the struggle, and she knelt weakly on the ground, no longer resembling her former self.
"How does it feel to be drugged?"
Chi Jinghui's gentle and refined demeanor was replaced by a cruel sneer as he squeezed out these words through clenched teeth.
"Jinghui, you were the one who gave me that glass of water last night! Are you misunderstanding something? Why are you doing this to me?"
"Have you forgotten? Do you want me to help you remember again?" The hand holding Guo Yujun's hair tightened its grip.
Was you the woman that night?
Guo Yujun suddenly seemed to fall into an icy river; the scene froze, and her slightly open eyes were filled with silence.
"You know it all."
As if her soul had been ripped away, she turned her gaze to the distance, to the man she had loved her whole life.
"You admitted it, it wasn't you that night, you lied to me!"
"Yes."
"why?"
Tears welled up in Guo Yujun's eyes, revealing an unprecedented vulnerability. Then, she tilted her head back and laughed out loud.
"Haha, I hate Jiang Qiao. You were the one who said you wanted to marry me."
So you lied to me, didn't you?
Chi Jinghui's eyes were already frozen. His gaze swept over her, but he couldn't find a trace of warmth. Instead, a murderous intent surged in his eyes.
"How much were you involved in Qiaoqiao's affairs?"
Mentioning Jiang Qiao, Chi Jinghui's eyes grew even more vicious, and his withered hand gripped her shoulder bone with such force that he wanted to crush it.
"What do you think?"
"You don't have to say it, but your Guo family's situation is more than just bankruptcy."
Guo Yujun's hair was disheveled, her eyes were bloodshot, and there was a trace of lipstick on her lips, outlining a strange, faint smile.
"Do you think I care?"
In the past, she hated Jiang Qiao for taking away the man she loved most. She did not hesitate to associate with Jiang Guoqing, but by a twist of fate, she still ended up in Chi Jinghui's bed with Jiang Qiao.
Fortunately, under the influence of the medication, Chi Jinghui was completely unable to distinguish right from wrong. She took the opportunity to mislead him and comfortably enjoyed the tenderness Chi Jinghui gave her.
Now, she is no longer afraid; what she desperately wants is nothing more than his charity.
"Haven't you always wanted to know why I love Jiang Qiao instead of you?"
At that moment, Chi Jinghui saw Jiang Qiao standing at the entrance of the coffee shop, wearing a Chinese cheongsam, turning around and smiling. Looking at that smile, it was as if the whole world was full of flowers, splendid and beautiful.
"When I told Qiaoqiao that I wanted to get engaged to you, she wished us happiness; when I got engaged to Qiaoqiao, you told me about the absurd things that happened that night."
"When she looked at me with sincere eyes, I was completely captivated. She made me believe that there is selfless love in this world."
Guo Yujun suddenly burst into unrestrained laughter, but as she laughed, her voice turned into sobs, and tears slowly streamed down her face.
"I lost."
She and Chi Jinghui were the "golden couple" of the business world, and they were ruthless in achieving their goals. They greedily enjoyed the admiration of thousands of people, but the dazzling sun could never compare to the starry sky.
"Jiang Guoqing doesn't want Jiang Qiao to marry you because his illegitimate daughter was just born, and he's planning to have her take over the shares and form a marriage alliance with the Chi family."
"Who knew that it would lead to your engagement? He had been silent for a long time, and when Jiang Qiao was three months pregnant, he found her with a video recording of our conspiracy and asked her to cooperate with him."
“I was afraid that once you found out, you would never talk to me again, so I had no choice but to agree to cooperate with him.”
"As you know, later we found Li Yue's father, Li Yingwei, who was the mayor at the time, and the two brothers, Zhou Guangzhen and Chi Zhenwei."
“I took advantage of Jiang Qiao’s trust in me and told her that her child had a problem and needed to come to the hospital for further examination. She then got into the car I had arranged.”
Chi Jinghui released his grip, his hand falling limply to his side. "You told me that report on purpose."
"Yes, I knew you would go. Chi Zhenwei agreed to cooperate on the condition that you be eliminated."
"It's a real shame that their plan only succeeded by a large margin. Although I didn't die, I'm even more heartbroken than if I had."
Every nerve in Chi Jinghui's body was consumed by pain; the feeling of being worse than dead gnawed at every inch of his skin.
"All these years, you've been following me under the guise of helping me get revenge, watching me eliminate these people one by one. Aren't you afraid?"
Guo Yujun gazed at her tenderly, his eyes filled with unyielding emotions.
"In the end, it's enough that I'm the one by your side."
