Chapter 197: The Old Matriarch is Failing

I must think of a way to let Xiaohuan live this life safely and without danger.

I found Zhuge Yue and asked what the Zhuge family had said to the Zheng family to make the Zheng family cancel this engagement.

Zhuge Yue was initially unwilling to tell me, but she couldn't stand me pestering her. Zhuge Yue couldn't take it anymore and said helplessly to me: "To tell you the truth, the reason your engagement could be cancelled and couldn't be formed is because you already have an engagement!"

Hearing her words, I was stunned and clearly didn't understand: "What do you mean by this? I already have an engagement? Who? Me? Who am I with?"

Zhuge Yue smiled and said: "Of course it's your engagement, otherwise how could the Zheng family cancel this idea!"

"Damn, I have an engagement and I don't know it myself, but instead, you Zhuge family know I have an engagement? This is too outrageous, isn't it?" I said, unable to believe it.

This matter was indeed a bit outrageous. I didn't even know who my own parents were, yet I had been engaged to someone early on. However, the Zhuge family actually knew about this engagement, which made me have to wonder what the Zhuge family was trying to do.

I looked at Zhuge Yue on the side and asked coldly: "What is your Zhuge family's purpose? Why do you know about my engagement, and was your meeting me before intentional?"

Seeing my unusually excited appearance, Zhuge Yue didn't have any reaction and still said calmly: "Don't be excited. I can't tell you much about this matter. In short, you have to believe that I won't make things difficult for you, and our Zhuge family has no intention of doing anything to you!"

Although I heard Zhuge Yue say this, I was still very confused in my heart. Regarding these actions of the Zhuge family, I felt they must have a purpose, otherwise why would they help me time and time again? And they themselves were a bit mysterious, which made me have to wonder.

Regarding Xiaohuan's matter, I originally wanted to ask Zhuge Yue for advice, but I thought it was better to forget it. I felt I was too dependent on the Zhuge family, which wasn't very good.

But these days the Old Matriarch didn't pay much attention to me, and Xiaohuan cried all day and didn't pay much attention to me either, feeling as if she had lost interest in me. Although it was much quieter, I suddenly felt like something was missing without Xiaohuan's pestering, feeling like I was particularly cheap.

The Old Matriarch Zheng's health was also getting worse day by day these days, sometimes even becoming particularly weak. The doctor even said she wouldn't live long, which turned the whole Zheng family upside down. Because you must know that once the Old Matriarch Zheng fell, the next step would be a division of power. You don't need to ask to know that these uncles and aunts of the Zheng family were all waiting for this. They couldn't wait for the Old Matriarch Zheng to die early so they could take over the industry.

The Old Matriarch Zheng naturally knew about these things. She was failing now, and the only thing she worried about in her heart was Xiaohuan. She knew that once she passed away, Xiaohuan's situation would be quite dangerous. No matter who she gave the industry to, Xiaohuan's situation would be very awkward. Although she was very reluctant, she still found me.

The Old Matriarch Zheng was lying on the hospital bed and wanted to summon me. I also knew that the Old Matriarch Zheng must have something to find me for at this moment, so I hurried to the hospital. However, on the way to the hospital, I suddenly encountered a group of thieves. These people were ruthless, clearly wanting to kill me. Fortunately, their strength wasn't very strong and didn't threaten me. However, I was still quite scared. I didn't expect the Zheng family's affairs to be so dangerous and even involve life-threatening risks. And what was excessive was that the Zheng family actually dared to take action and cause deaths. Although I didn't know which person did it, I was sure it was those uncles and aunts of the Zheng family, because now the last thing they wanted was for me to see the Old Matriarch Zheng.

I finally fought my way to the hospital entrance, only to find that it had already been surrounded, because this was the Zheng family's private hospital, and only Zheng family members were there. They blocked the hospital entrance and wouldn't let me in. I was furious. I had seen these people before; they were the characters under those uncles and aunts of the Zheng family. These people were clearly not wanting me to go in.

I shouted at the group of people in front of me: "What are you doing? The Old Matriarch wants to see me, let me in!"

"Sorry, we didn't receive news that the Old Matriarch wants to see you. The Old Matriarch is resting now, and no one can disturb her!"

Hearing these words, I was furious and wanted to take action to rush in, but these people were blocking the way. These people were all characters under the uncles and aunts of the Zheng family, and each of them had strength. If I forced my way in, I wouldn't necessarily get any advantage.

Just at this moment, Xiaohuan suddenly rushed over from inside the hospital and shouted at these people: "You all stop for me! Grandmother wants to see Brother Zheng Yun, hurry up and let me through!"

These people acted as if they couldn't hear this, pretending not to know, and stood in place, still blocking the way.

Xiaohuan shouted angrily: "What are you doing? Let me through!"

"Sorry, Little Miss, we didn't receive orders, so we won't let go!"

Hearing these people's words, Xiaohuan was not lightly angered. Xiaohuan said to me anxiously: "Brother Yun, Grandmother is failing, we must go in quickly!"

Seeing Xiaohuan so anxious, I hardened my heart and decided to just rush in. I shouted angrily at these people: "Are you going to let me through or not?"

These people didn't pay attention to my words at all. Seeing that the warning was ineffective, I took action directly. Both sides exchanged moves. Just as the other side was about to rush over, someone suddenly blocked in front. I knew this person, and everyone present knew him. It was exactly that expert from the Zheng family. He snorted and said: "All stop for me! The Old Matriarch wants to see Zheng Yun, you all let me through!"

These people all knew the person in front of them. Although they had received orders, it wasn't easy to block the way. One of them wanted to step forward, but the other side gave a look, which scared these people into retreating several steps, not daring to step forward. Seeing this, Xiaohuan and I hurriedly went into the hospital.

Arriving at the ward door, I saw the Old Matriarch Zheng lying on the bed, her face ugly, clearly on the verge of death. I guess it was just a matter of time.

Xiaohuan and I hurriedly arrived at the bedside. The Old Matriarch Zheng looked at me, then looked at Xiaohuan, and said weakly to me: "Yang Yun, I'm failing. I'll leave Xiaohuan to you. Although you aren't engaged, you know that Xiaohuan likes you the most. You must take good care of her!" ===== CHAPTER 198 =====
