Gently bite the jasmine

Chapter 228 Listen to my explanation

Lin Xi was momentarily stunned, wondering why Secretary Chen was in the special care ward.

However, because she was worried, she didn't think too much and turned to walk inside, only to be bumped into by Duan Zheng, who suddenly broke away from Duan Mingxuan and rushed over.

Duan Yiheng's face darkened, and he was about to lash out when Lin Xi stopped him, saying, "Grandpa is the priority."

Duan Yiheng grasped her shoulders and asked softly, "Did you bump into anything?"

Lin Xi shook her head: "No, let's go in quickly."

The two entered the ward and saw Duan Zheng leaning against the bedside, his voice trembling with suppressed emotion: "Dad, you're finally awake."

When Duan Zheng said this, he was unsure of himself.

Because the old man didn't look like someone who had just been rescued.

He couldn't just walk into the intensive care unit. He glanced at it out of the corner of his eye and noticed that it was no different from the ward where the old man usually took care of his health.

The old man responded heavily: "I know about your activities outside. Duan Zheng, effective immediately, I am severing my father-son relationship with you. This will be announced soon. In addition, I am going to amend my will."

"Dad!" Duan Zheng's pupils constricted. "Are you crazy?"

The old man glanced at his attending physician, who immediately said, "Mr. Duan is of sound mind and mental condition. If what he says complies with the law, it has legal effect."

Duan Zheng noticed the faint smile on Duan Yiheng's lips and suddenly realized what was happening.

He looked at the old man in disbelief: "Dad, you set me up?"

The old man said, "If I hadn't put on this show, I wouldn't have known if you were a human or a ghost. If I were really critically ill today, Duan Zheng, would you still care about your father?"

Duan Zheng's face was ashen: "Isn't it because you're too biased?"

The old man chuckled deeply: "Why don't you say you're too greedy?"

Lin Xi suddenly turned to look at Duan Yiheng: "Was Grandpa's resuscitation fake?"

Duan Yiheng froze: "Uh... I didn't mean to not tell you."

Lin Xi snorted coldly and ignored him.

Duan Yiheng: "..."

"Grandpa, what about Mingxuan and me?" Chen Baiwei took a step forward, crying. "What will happen to Mingxuan and me?"

The old man said, "You and Mingxuan move out of the old house. The contents of Mingxuan's will remain unchanged. Consider it compensation for you."

Chen Baiwei was taken aback: "Mingxuan received nothing different, how can it be compensation?"

“Because he conspired with outsiders to frame Xiao Xi and Yi Heng, I originally planned to take half of his inheritance, but considering that he protected Xiao Xi in front of Duan Zheng just now, and that I learned that Duan Zheng has an illegitimate daughter outside, I decided to leave it as is. Don’t push your luck.”

Chen Baiwei moved her lips, but didn't dare to say anything more.

If Duan Zheng could ruthlessly sever ties, then she, an outsider, would be even more so.

She had finally realized that Duan Zheng was unreliable.

This house will belong to Duan Yiheng in the future, so we can't afford to offend him now.

But she was absolutely unwilling to swallow this insult.

Thinking of Ke Yu, who was reaping the benefits without lifting a finger, a hint of madness flashed in Chen Baiwei's eyes.

"Dad." Duan Zheng was about to say something when Uncle Deng had someone stop him.

"Dad, do you really not want me anymore?" Duan Zhengxin asked in fear. "Dad?"

The old man didn't respond, but instead said to Chen Xin, "Inform all directors that the equity transfer meeting will continue tomorrow."

"Ok."

Duan Yiheng stepped forward and said, "Shall I take you back now?"

The old man was exhausted and nodded.

After sending the old man back to his old house, Lin Xi and Duan Yiheng stayed behind.

"Let's stay here tonight," Duan Yiheng said. "Grandpa probably isn't feeling too comfortable."

Lin Xi nodded: "There's one more thing. Anqi is with Liang Yutong. What do you plan to do about that?"

Tomorrow will be the day when everything is settled, and Angie must make the most of her advantages.

Duan Yiheng smiled and said, "I haven't gotten involved in this matter. Haven't you made up your mind?"

Lin Xi said decisively, "Then call Duan Zheng now and tell him that he admitted to his extramarital affair with Ke Yu at the board meeting, and clarify the truth about my engagement with Duan Mingxuan, including the whole story of the Chen Liangyi incident."

Duan Yiheng ruffled her hair: "Ke Yu should have received the news by now."

Lin Xi rolled her eyes at him: "So you really know what I did, but some people do things behind my back."

After saying that, she turned and left.

Duan Yiheng chased after him, saying, "Let me explain."

"I don't want to hear it." Lin Xi stepped onto the stairs and went upstairs by herself.

She hadn't been here in a long time and wanted to see the room she used to live in.

"Lin Xi".

Duan Yiheng chased after her, and when Sister Mei saw this, she asked, "What did you do to her this time?"

Duan Yiheng took a moment to reply, "You're angry again."

Sister Mei: "If you don't provoke her, why would she get angry?"

"Yes, yes, it's all my fault," Duan Yiheng said as he went upstairs. "I was just planning to coax him, wasn't I?"

Sister Mei stood on tiptoe to remind her, "You're all grown up now, and she's six years younger than you."

Duan Yiheng: "...I can't tell you, it wasn't my intention."

Sister Mei shook her head: "What are we having for dinner?"

Duan Yiheng: "Whatever."

Lin Xi hasn't been appeased yet, how can he be in the mood to eat?

Lin Xi's room was exactly the same as when she was there. Feeling a little better, she went to the balcony and looked down.

It's almost June, and the courtyard is lush and green, full of vibrant life.

Duan Mingxuan, who grew up here, is leaving, as are Chen Baiwei and Duan Zheng.

grandfather……

Lin Xi suddenly dared not think about it. If her grandfather were to leave too, it seemed that only she and Duan Yiheng would be left here.

Footsteps sounded behind her, and Lin Xi turned around, suddenly bumping into Duan Yiheng's arms.

Duan Yiheng remained unmoved, accepting the situation completely.

"What are you thinking? You've already comforted yourself?" Duan Yiheng's tone was somewhat flattered.

Lin Xi looked up: "You grew up here too, right?"

Duan Yiheng hummed in agreement: "Later, my mother got sick and went to live at the manor for a few years."

Lin Xi tightened her arms around his waist and said, "Whether it's good or bad, they're all leaving. In the end, only you and I will be left here."

Duan Yiheng chuckled: "Isn't it good just the two of us?"

She was certainly willing to live a peaceful life with Duan Yiheng, but Lin Xi wasn't particularly happy when Duan Mingxuan and the others left.

I just feel a bit regretful; things shouldn't have come to this.

Duan Yiheng put his arm around her and changed the subject: "I'm planning to renovate this place. What kind of renovation do you like? The designer will discuss it with you later."

Lin Xi replied, "Okay, then I—"

Before he could finish speaking, Duan Yiheng's phone rang.

Lin Xi nudged him, and Duan Yiheng called on speakerphone. Duan Zheng's furious voice came through the phone: "Duan Yiheng, what did you do to An Qi?"

Lin Xi took the phone and spoke first: "Anqi is fine, Uncle Duan."

"Is that you?" Ke Yu asked on the other end of the phone.

Lin Xi said calmly and composedly, "It's me. Uncle Duan has already told you what to do."

Ke Yu hesitated for a moment, then said, "I need to confirm An Qi's safety."

"You have no right to negotiate." Lin Xi hung up the phone immediately, and on the other end, Ke Yu smashed his phone.

Duan Yiheng chuckled softly, hugged Lin Xi from behind, and whispered, "Secretary Lin is awesome."

Lin Xi raised her hand and covered the back of his hand, saying, "Ke Yu is such a deep woman. All the obstacles we've encountered are obviously caused by others, but behind the scenes, it's her."

In short, it has to be eliminated.

Duan Yiheng kissed her on the cheek: "After tomorrow, things will definitely be glorious."
