Chapter 175
Coming out of the dilapidated hut, Zhao Xiran kept looking at Cheng Xiao with exquisite eyes.
Cheng Xiao didn't make a sound, and Zhao Xiran didn't speak until after walking for a long time, "Why didn't you let her withdraw the lawsuit?"
Cheng Xiao stopped and looked down at her, "Is this why you haven't talked to me?"
Zhao Xiran suddenly felt that he was quite vexatious, lowered his head and scratched the hair on his cheek, raised his eyes the moment he stopped, "Didn't you not talk to me?"
The two were relatively speechless.
"Cheng Xiao, I still think withdrawing the lawsuit is the best choice!" Zhao Xiran said while walking.
"Where is it?" Cheng Xiao glanced at her.
"Live peacefully and stop meddling in the Cheng Group's affairs, isn't that what you promised me before?" Zhao Xiran opened his eyes wide.
"Do you really think Cheng Wei will stop here?" Cheng Xiao's eyes were filled with disapproval.
"Even if it's just a temporary stop, it's better than you continuing to fight like this!" Zhao Xiran didn't want to go on like this, "Cheng Xiao, come back to City D with me, you still have Diamond over there."
"Of course, your thinking is too simple!" Cheng Xiao said in a deep voice, "Cheng Wei has always been a person who will not give up until he reaches his goal."
Seeing Cheng Xiao walking forward, Zhao Xiran couldn't care less, "Is it really just because of Cheng Wei?"
The man stops.
"Actually, I know it even if you don't tell me! You didn't want to leave country W like this at all, and you didn't want to let go of the Cheng Group's affairs! You made that old woman turn against you, and everything was for revenge!"
Zhao Xiran's words shook Cheng Xiao's eardrums.
Indeed, even though nearly ten years have passed, he has gradually forgotten all about the past, and he doesn't want to have anything to do with the Cheng family.
But he still couldn't forgive the pain Cheng Wei put on him, and he still couldn't watch him being fine and nothing happened.
Cheng Wei wants Cheng Xiaotong to take over the Cheng Group and let him be a pawn.
He can be this cannon fodder, but cannon fodder also has its advantages!
This time, he planned to use the power of cannon fodder to pull one person off the horse.
"Cheng Xiao, have you ever thought that if the old woman doesn't listen to you, she will change her statement in court. In that case, not only will you not be able to get through the danger safely, but you will be in even greater trouble."
"Since I dare to tell her that, I have made full preparations. Even if she changes her words at that time, I still have a plan. However, you don't need to worry so much!" Cheng Xiao caressed her forehead "You should trust me, we'll all be fine!"
That sharp gaze, that firm belief, that all-too-familiar gentle face defeated Zhao Xiran.I closed my eyes hard, and it took a while to get rid of the distracting thoughts in my heart, "I believe in you!"
"It's just Cheng Xiao, we still have to put safety first."
A smile appeared on the man's lips, and he kissed her forehead lightly, "With your words, I am enough."
On the way back, Cheng Xiao received a call from Ji Kong.
"Go to Huanhuan's house?"
When Zhao Xiran heard what Cheng Xiao said, he pricked up his ears to listen.
But the voice on the other end of the phone was too low, and she couldn't hear it clearly, so she hung up the phone conveniently.
"Who, who has passed?" Zhao Xiran had made it clear to Cheng Wei last time that there was someone else who took Cheng Xiaotong away.According to how much he loves that child, he should protect it no matter what.Why just let it go?
"Tan Xiangxiang!"
Although it was expected, Zhao Xiran was startled when he heard it, "Cheng Wei really doesn't care about this?"
"Who knows?" Although Cheng Xiao said this, he knew in his heart that Cheng Wei wanted to invite you into the urn this time.
Just wait, it won't be long before a good show will be staged.
"That child is really pitiful!" Zhao Xiran suddenly sighed.
When Cheng Xiao heard this, he looked sideways at the woman's face, only regretting that he hadn't known her earlier.
Sure enough, things were exactly as Cheng Xiao had imagined. As soon as Tan Xiangxiang entered Huanhuan Bieyuan, he was caught by several men waiting there.
Cheng Jiacong went to the Cheng family's old house for several days without seeing Tan Xiangxiang, so he called her, but the phone kept prompting to turn off the phone.
He also called the servants from Cheng's old house and asked them one by one, but they all said they hadn't seen it.
Cheng Jiacong was so anxious to look around, Ah San ran around and told Cheng Jiacong about Zhao Xiran appearing in Huanhuan Bieyuan and saving a child.
Cheng Jiacong believed that Tan Xiangxiang's disappearance had something to do with Zhao Xiran and Cheng Xiao.
He ran to Zhao Xiran's apartment to block her, and when he saw someone, he went crazy and told them bad things about Zhao Xiran.
Zhao Xiran couldn't bear it anymore, so he came out to meet Cheng Jiacong.
"Second Young Master Cheng, how did I provoke you? You pour dirty water on me every time you meet, what good will it do you if you make me smell bad?"
Cheng Jiacong lowered his face, "If you didn't hide here and refused to come out, how could I use this trick?"
"Let's find another place to talk!"
Zhao Xiran immediately refused, "I won't go!"
The man turned his head and looked at her, "Miss Zhao wants me to speak clearly here, right? That's fine!"
"Where did you take my mother?"
If it was said that Cheng Jiacong was just being unreasonable before, now Zhao Xiran really thinks that he is out of his mind.He squinted at him, "Where did your mother go? It's none of my business? Cheng Jiacong, don't think that if you just tell others about our relationship, you and I really become a family!"
"Still pretending to be garlic, right?" Cheng Jiacong took a step forward.
Zhao Xiran stared at his outstretched hand, and backed away again and again, "Cheng Jiacong, I really don't know where your mother is! If you keep making trouble like this, I'm going to shout!"
She wasn't afraid of tearing herself apart with Cheng Jiacong, but she didn't want to shout and be sent to the police station. By that time, the good image she had established before would be completely ruined.Of course, this is not the most important thing.
What she was even more afraid of was that Cheng Xiao, who was still on bail, would show his face because of this incident, which would leave a bad impression on the public and affect the judge's judgment later on.
"Who is that child living in Huanhuan Bieyuan?" Cheng Jiacong suddenly changed his words, and the eyes that looked at her also became unpredictable, "What is your relationship with him?"
Zhao Xiran felt helpless, but still said truthfully: "You shouldn't have asked me about these things!"
"Answer me!" Cheng Jiacong didn't listen at all, and continued to ask.
"Does it mean that as long as I say it, you will stop talking nonsense to others, and I can go back?"
Cheng Jiacong didn't speak, but his silence had clearly given Zhao Xiran the answer.
"That child, you Cheng family members seem to be very concerned about it! There are always people who give him food, play, and clothes at regular intervals. By the way, that child goes to the best noble school in country W..."
"enough!"
Before Zhao Xiran finished speaking, Cheng Jiacong yelled at him.
The man's black and white eyes were much bloodshot at this time, and his eyes were so wide that they almost jumped out of their sockets.
"Don't say any more, don't say any more!"
Zhao Xiran thought he was ridiculous, "You forced me to say it just now. Now that I've told the truth, you can't stand it anymore and still get so angry? Second Young Master Cheng, you don't really have a brain problem. Bar?"
"Go! You go now!" Cheng Jiacong pointed at Zhao Xiran.
She didn't want to stay here, and when she heard what Cheng Jiacong said, she just took the opportunity to trot into the apartment.
Cheng Xiao, who was standing upstairs in the apartment building, couldn't help shaking his head when he saw this scene.
After Zhao Xiran came up, he took an apple from the fruit basket and handed it to her, "Your reward!"
Zhao Xiran was at a loss, "What did I do! You just reward me?"
But I thought to myself: Could it be that he saw it upstairs?
"I saw the scenery downstairs."
Zhao Xiran hastily lowered his head and covered his face with his hands, "This... this!"
"feel good!"
Cheng Xiao lowered his head and bit off a piece of apple. Zhao Xiran looked at the one in his hand that was missing a corner, and belatedly said, "Didn't you give this apple to me? Why did you eat it by yourself?"
As if he just realized it now, he looked down at the place where he had bitten, and said with a smile, "I didn't eat much!"
He handed back the apple in his palm with his backhand, "Here you are."
Zhao Xiran looked at the apple again, "I don't want it!"
Turn around and sit on the sofa beside you.
Cheng Xiao followed, leaned against her, looked into her eyes and asked, "Do you think I bitten you?"
As soon as Zhao Xiran opened his lips, Cheng Xiao stuffed the apple in his hand.
The bright red lips were just on the spot where he had bitten.
Seeing Zhao Xiran's stupid look, Cheng Xiao burst out laughing.
Zhao Xiran put down the apple and asked with a dark face, "Is it fun?"
The man stopped laughing, looked back at her and shook his head.
Just waiting for Zhao Xiran to relax, another sentence came from his ear, "It's not as fun as you!"
On the other hand, Cheng Jiacong carefully read the materials that Ah San gave him, and he was completely in a bad mood.Standing there quietly, I didn't say a word for a long time.
"Second Young Master, Cheng Xiaotong is only a six-year-old child. Even if the old man really wants to hand over the Cheng Group to him, those people on the board of directors will not agree!"
"What if they agree?" Cheng Jiacong didn't think those people could suppress Cheng Wei.
The Cheng Group has existed for decades, and the members of the board of directors have changed wave after wave.
Those shareholders who are disobedient and love to fight against Cheng Wei will also withdraw one by one.
Now only Cheng Wei holds 50.00% of the shares of the group.
And even though he is the vice president, the newest person in charge of the East Bank project, and Tan Xiangxiang's holdings are only 15.00%.
With such a ratio, Cheng Jiacong really didn't think he had a chance of winning.
"How can you agree to everything? That's a child who doesn't understand anything!"
Cheng Jiacong raised his head slowly, "Ah San, don't you see that the old man wants to help Cheng Xiao?"
Asan: "..."
"Oh! I didn't see it. I thought that Cheng Xiao wanted to rob Cheng from me, and he did so many things for nothing!" Cheng Jiacong laughed at himself: "Now everything is over, it's over!"
"Second young master, things haven't reached the stage you imagined!" Ah San said, "If we can make Cheng Xiao turn against him, we won't help the old man anymore. As long as he doesn't help the old man, if the old man wants to leave the Cheng family to Cheng Xiaotong, he will be fine." It cannot be achieved."
"is it possible?"
Cheng Jiacong knew that the relationship with Cheng Xiao was irreconcilable, even if he was willing to bow his head, the other party would not agree.
"No, instead of pinning my hopes on him, I might as well fight for it myself!" Cheng Jiacong whispered silently, "Ah San, do you still remember how Li Shimin got the throne?"
Ah San's face turned pale when she heard this, and it took a while to find her voice, "Second Young Master, what do you mean?"
"Didn't she, Zhao Xiran, be a good person before and save Cheng Tong once? This time I will make her never let go of that child again!" Cheng Jiacong said fiercely.
Cheng Xiao didn't make a sound, and Zhao Xiran didn't speak until after walking for a long time, "Why didn't you let her withdraw the lawsuit?"
Cheng Xiao stopped and looked down at her, "Is this why you haven't talked to me?"
