Chapter 354: Is It You Who Did This Again?

"My eldest brother is nothing but a useless piece of trash; he can't even compare to me. If he truly takes charge of the Yu Clan, does the Yu Clan even have a future? Everything I've done is for the sake of the Yu Family, to make the foundation of the Yu Clan more secure," Yu Lingxuan shouted.

"So you were cold-blooded enough to poison Father? You really are something, Yu Lingxuan. If Mr. Chen hadn't discovered that Father's illness was actually poisoning, I would have been kept in the dark all these years," Yu Zu said through gritted teeth.

"Was it you who did this again?" Yu Lingxuan looked at Chen Yu with hatred.

"That's right, it was me. After I reached an agreement with Mr. Yu Zu, he asked me to examine the old master of the Yu Family. With my medical skills, I saw the clues at a glance."

Chen Yu nodded and said, "So I treated Yu Lao. It wasn't a big problem; a few needles were enough to fix it."

"You fixed it with a few needles? Do you have any idea that those few needles of yours punctured the management I've painstakingly built for ten years?" Yu Lingxuan's eyes were bloodshot: "You destroyed everything I have."

"All of this was done by you yourself. If your daughter hadn't provoked me, or if things had just ended after I beat her, we wouldn't have reached this point today. Since it turned out like this, who can you blame?" Chen Yu said helplessly.

"Alright, everyone step back. In the name of the Yu Clan's Grand Elder, I strip Yu Lingxuan of her position as Head of Family. From now on, all affairs of the family, big or small, shall be temporarily managed by Yu Zu."

Yu Chengde slowly stood up: "Mr. Chen Yu saved my life. Mr. Chen may utilize the resources of the Yu Clan. From now on, the past grievances between the Yu Clan and Mr. Chen are wiped clean. No one is allowed to defy this."

"He harmed my daughter, your own granddaughter, Father! Even if I have a thousand faults, you cannot be on good terms with the enemy who killed your own granddaughter!" Yu Lingxuan screamed.

"Ten years ago, the night I was paralyzed, it was your daughter, my precious granddaughter, who brought the chicken soup, right?" Yu Chengde smiled: "Among my children, I liked you the most, and among my grandchildren, she was the one I liked the most as well."

"I had absolutely no guard against you two. The ones who drank the chicken soup that day also included your mother. She had heart disease; I had a stroke from drinking the soup, and for her, drinking the soup was fatal." Two lines of murky tears fell from Yu Chengde's eyes.

"She used both coaxing and deception to make us two old people drink that poisoned chicken soup. She knew full well there was poison in it. Only a mother like you could teach a daughter like her, heh."

Yu Lingxuan abruptly shut her mouth. It turned out the old master had already seen through everything. If she were to play the victim in front of the old master now, it would be completely meaningless.

"From this moment on, Yu Lingxuan is expelled from the Yu Family. Everything she obtained in the Yu Family must be surrendered. In this lifetime, she is not allowed to step foot into the Yu Family gates again." Yu Chengde waved his hand: "Throw her out."

"Yes..." Several bodyguards stepped forward, grabbed Yu Lingxuan, and walked her out.

Yu Lingxuan felt somewhat dazed. Just a moment ago, she was the Head of Family of the Yu Clan, possessing hundreds of millions in assets, arrogant and unbridled, but in the blink of an eye, she had become a stray dog.

She shrieked hysterically: "Chen Yu, even if I become a ghost in this life, I won't let you go. Just you wait..."

"Mr. Chen, thank you for saving my life. From now on, the grievances between the Yu Family and you are wiped clean. If you have any needs, feel free to speak up." Yu Chengde bowed slightly to Chen Yu.

"Yu Lao, no need to thank me. Saving you was an accidental act. Your own biological children may not necessarily be better than this adopted son of yours," Chen Yu said.

"Heh, that's right. Only the fourth one remembers my kindness. As for the others..." Yu Lao sighed, and he shook his head: "Better not to speak of them."

The matter of the Yu Clan was considered finished at this point, and a heavy stone in Chen Yu's heart finally landed.

Leaving the Yu Clan, just as he was about to hail a taxi to go back, he received a call from Lu Ruxue: "Chen Yu, I'm treating you to dinner tonight."

"No need to be so polite," Chen Yu smiled and said: "This time you won't reveal your identity again, right?"

"I won't. I'll definitely be very careful this time. But you have to wait for me a while; I'm filming the last scene over at Nanshan," Lu Ruxue laughed: "It will be over very soon."

"Nanshan? I happen to be in the vicinity. I'll go find you," Chen Yu checked his location; it wasn't far from Nanshan.

"That's great! I just happen to have no one to pick me up. I'm with Si Chen, so hurry over," Lu Ruxue giggled.

After hanging up the phone, a location was sent over a moment later, and Chen Yu followed the location to get there.

Inside the film crew, Lu Ruxue was rushing to film the final scene in a scenic area. Yu Sichen had nothing to do, so she strolled around outside the scenic area with Chen Yu.

Because Yu Sichen's father had instilled the idea of marrying into a wealthy family in her since she was young, her upbringing was extremely strict.

This resulted in Yu Sichen having the demeanor of a refined young lady, whether in her speech or her manners.

"How have you been sleeping these past few days?" Chen Yu asked.

"Speaking of that, I really have to thank you. Your medicine is very effective. These past few nights, I've been falling asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow," Yu Sichen smiled faintly.

"That's good. However, your situation still stems from your pressure. You're a girl, don't put too much pressure on yourself," Chen Yu smiled: "Sometimes, a plain and simple life is a blessing."

"It's useless for me to think that way; it depends on what my mother thinks," Yu Sichen sighed and said: "Starting from the age of three, they began teaching me piano, guzheng, and pipa, stuffing Chinese and Western musical classics into me like force-feeding."

"I'd wake up at six in the morning and study until eight at night. She kept telling me that I must marry into a wealthy family because this is the only chance for the Shengjing Yu Clan to rise."

"Why pin the future of the Yu Family entirely on you alone?" Chen Yu said: "Forgive my bluntness, this is a transaction, and it is a very unfair thing for you."

"It is, but what can I do? The Yu Family has been in decline for over a decade. My father dreams of returning to glory, and in a place like Shengjing, the hierarchy of aristocratic families, wealthy families, and clans is distinct. Relying on me alone to make the Yu Family return to glory is basically impossible."

"But what can I do? They are my biological parents. I have no choice but to follow their wishes and attend one banquet after another, wearing a hypocritical smile to deal with them."

"You can refuse," Chen Yu felt some sympathy for this girl.

"Refuse?" Yu Sichen smiled and said: "Alright, let's not talk about this. Actually, these past few days here have been the happiest days for me. Thank you for winning these few days of time for me, allowing me to catch my breath."

"You're welcome, you are my patient," Chen Yu smiled: "If your pressure is too great and causes your body to never recover, wouldn't that ruin my reputation?"

"Director Wu, look, my conditions are also quite good. Let me have that role. I've already booked a room; why don't you come to my room tonight to discuss the script?" Just at this moment, a seductive woman holding onto a bald man said in a syrupy voice.

"You really are a little vixen." The bald man was the Director Wu the woman spoke of, Wu Qiang, a small director with a bit of fame. He gave the woman's buttocks a hard squeeze: "Wait for my call."

"Okay, Director Wu, I'll go back and wait for you. You must not stand me up, okay?" The woman giggled, her body trying hard to press against the man.

"Easy, easy, heh heh. If you're good in bed, all of this is easy to talk about," Wu Qiang chuckled.

Suddenly, Wu Qiang saw Yu Sichen walking towards him. Being an old lecher, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
