Chapter 242

He issued a weak but majestic voice toward the group of children who were lined up wailing.

"Stop crying, I'm not dead yet..."

Hearing this voice.

The children were all stunned.

They hurriedly and incredulously raised their heads to look at Chen Yangzhe, who had opened his eyes, and one by one, they began to cry even harder.

"Father!"

"You've finally woken up!"

"Father! We thought you..."

"It's good that you're awake, it's good that you're awake!"

"You really scared us to death!"

PS: The ending of the last chapter was changed; last night's ending was Chen Yangzhe waking up and taking the initiative to call his children, with the children looking relieved and excited, but in the original drama, Chen Yangzhe did not wake up directly, but pretended to be in a coma because he also wanted to find out who the mastermind was.

"Everyone, Father may not be able to wake up for a short time; the doctor said his brain suffered severe trauma, and even if he wakes up, he might suffer from amnesia or something, and if..."

"So our top priority now is to discuss who should manage the company's inheritance and the position of Chairman!"

"A country cannot go a day without a ruler, and a family cannot go a day without a master."

"The position of the new helmsman of Soonyang Group should also be changed!"

Chen Yongji stood up at this time and said to his brothers and sisters.

Hearing this.

Chen Dongji and Chen Huarong, who were still wailing, both stopped.

The two wiped away the few tears they had on their faces and said very calmly: "In that case, our family will go outside to discuss it!"

After speaking, everyone turned and left the ward.

And Chen Runji's family lagged behind.

"Daojun, your eldest uncle and the others are starting to divide the family property, we..." Chen Runji gave a bitter smile.

These three brothers and sisters of his had not considered him at all.

He didn't want to go out and invite humiliation.

"Father, we don't need to go out and join in the fun; let them fight. You and Mom just stay here and take good care of Grandfather."

"It's rare for you and your father to have a chance to be alone together for many years; just take advantage of Grandfather's coma to get close to him and talk to him. After all, there won't be many chances left."

Chen Daojun patted his father's shoulder and said with a smile.

Hearing this.

Chen Runji's expression was complex.

He truly both respects and fears this father of his.

Among the four children, he is the most useless.

Chen Yangzhe even ridiculed him: making movies, running entertainment companies, training female stars—is that making money? Can it contribute to Soonyang Group? Is it helpful to the family?

None of it?

Then what use do I have for you?

Chen Yangzhe is a businessman who studied business to the bone, and he used that same capitalist approach for his children's education.

In his view, the investment he made in Chen Runji was significant, but the returns were not what they should have been, not to mention that he actually lost money.

In fact, he originally had high hopes for Chen Runji and even planned to give him a portion of Soonyang Group, but he ran off to marry an actress, which greatly disappointed him.

So he ignored him for many years.

In an ordinary family, such behavior would make people think Chen Yangzhe is cold-blooded.

But he is a generation of chaebol, a businessman, a capitalist.

If he didn't have this businessman's mindset of viewing everything through the lens of profit and commerce, he could never have developed a small rice shop into its current scale.

Looking at this father who makes him feel awe, his face still majestic even in a coma.

Chen Runji hesitated for a moment before slowly walking to the bedside and sitting down.

He gently took his father's hand with both hands and whispered:

"Father, please wake up soon; this family cannot be without you. Although I know my position in your heart is far inferior to the other brothers and sisters, I sincerely hope you can get better soon. You haven't even held your little great-grandson yet..."

"If I could offer my own life in exchange for Father's recovery, I would be willing to give half of my life to repay Father's kindness in raising me..."

These words from Chen Runji made Chen Yangzhe, who was pretending to sleep, feel somewhat moved.

He didn't expect that this youngest son he looked down upon would actually have such awareness.

It seems he was indeed too harsh on him in the past...

Just then.

Fierce arguments could be vaguely heard from outside the door.

"Father really doesn't know when he will wake up this time. Currently, only our family and the attending physician know about Father's car accident. The hospital is our family's property, so we don't need to worry about confidentiality."

"But there is no wall without cracks in this world. Once the outside world knows that Father has had an accident, Soonyang Group's stock will inevitably fall, and it will fall to the bottom! At that time, it will still be our family's interests that suffer!"

"So I propose that I take over from Father to manage the entire Soonyang Group now. The board of directors will be held as usual, and I will take Father's empty seat."

As soon as these words were spoken.

The expressions of the other children in the room changed suddenly.

Chen Dongji sneered and said: "Father just recently established a financial company and was planning to hand it over to Chen Daojun. This is paving the way for an heir, and Chen Daojun hasn't even come out to say anything. Big Brother, why are you so impatient?"

"Besides, Big Brother, you haven't even figured out your own mess. Why are you thinking about taking over the company?"

"I don't agree. It's not primogeniture now; we all have a chance."

"It's not like you can just take over the company because you're the eldest."

Hearing this, Chen Yongji's face looked very ugly.

He knew the second brother would oppose him, but he didn't expect him to show him no respect at all.

At this time, Li Biyu, the mastermind behind the scenes, stood up to speak "fairly."

"You unfilial children! Your father is still in the operating room, his life hanging in the balance, and he hasn't woken up yet. And you're already thinking about dividing the family property. If he knew, he would certainly be utterly disappointed in you!"

But Chen Yongji felt that since it was highly probable that Father would not wake up.

Why shouldn't he be able to break free from the shadow Father cast over him?

And stand tall to fight for it once?

He has lived in his father's shadow for half his life and is impatient to experience the taste of power.

So he said with a slightly tough tone: "Mom, we are also doing this for the sake of the company. Father and Soonyang Group are tied together. Now that Father is in a coma, it means the empire of Soonyang Group is about to collapse."

"If there isn't a helmsman here to turn the tide and save the group from dire straits, then Soonyang Group's competitors will likely pounce together without hesitation to carve us up. At that time, will Soonyang Group still exist?"

"Our family's glory, our chaebol status, our influence, will all vanish!"

"It also means Father's life's work will be washed away! I believe no one wants to see this happen, and neither would Father!"

"I am the eldest son in the family and the Vice Chairman, so I should shoulder the burden. Mom, I hope you can support me, just for the sake of your grandson Xingjun, please help me!"

Chen Yongji, for the sake of this heir position, can be said to have used any means necessary, even bringing up Chen Xingjun.

Sure enough.

Li Biyu's heart softened upon hearing Chen Yongji's words; after all, this is her first son, and Chen Xingjun is her first grandson.

Although Chen Xingjun is now paralyzed and like a cripple, he is still the grandson she once loved the most.

Thinking of that mastermind harming Chen Xingjun.

She felt a wave of sorrow.

She feels sorry for her eldest son; after all, with Chen Xingjun in this state, how is it any different from losing a son in middle age?

And the second brother, Chen Dongji, and the third sister, Chen Huarong, seeing their mother's unbearable expression, were a little panicked.

"Mom, even if Big Brother talks a big game, he is not qualified to be the group's new Chairman. This has to be recommended and elected by the board of directors, so we suggest that a board meeting be held immediately, and everyone will vote to decide who can be elected as this Chairman; that would be fair."

"That's right, Mom, you can't be biased toward Big Brother just because you feel sorry for him. I am also your daughter; you should treat your children equally and let us compete fairly. Father gave us the opportunity to compete fairly!"

Seeing several children about to fight again, Li Biyu had a massive headache.

At the same time, she was secretly hating in her heart that the assassin was too incompetent to have actually killed Chen Yangzhe.

Now he is in a coma, but who can guarantee he will never wake up? As long as he wakes up.

It will be trouble.

After all, what she did was not seamless. Sooner or later, the truth will come out.

And just at this moment, Chen Yangzhe, lying on the hospital bed, also heard the conversation of these children outside, and his heart was even more disappointed.

These are the good sons and daughters he raised! ===== CHAPTER 243 =====
