Chapter 200: Cheng Wan Goes for Further Studies

Cheng Huade is dead, and in truth, Cheng Han did not want to continue pursuing the matter.

But his second aunt treated everyone like fools, playing them for idiots.

She clearly knew everything, yet she stood there feigning innocence.

"Money laundering?" It was the first time Old Madam Cheng had heard of this, and she was so shocked she even forgot her grief.

Cheng Huayu was also incredulous; his second sister-in-law, who always appeared so soft and weak, had actually been secretly using the company to launder money.

If it were discovered, the entire Cheng Family would be dragged down with her.

Fortunately, his eldest brother and sister-in-law had discovered it in time, which was why the Cheng Family had remained fine all along.

Yet after being discovered, the second sister-in-law not only refused to repent but also instigated the second brother to move against the eldest brother and sister-in-law.

Cheng Huayu wanted to cry; Cheng Han, this child, had endured too much.

He, this third uncle, was useless.

The second mistress looked at the documents Cheng Han had tossed out and completely panicked, "Cheng Han, you are framing me."

Cheng Han shook his head, "Second Aunt, whether these things are true or false, the police will verify them themselves."

The second mistress collapsed to the ground, her face pale, "You called the police... I am your second aunt."

Halfway through her words, she fearfully shut her mouth; if Cheng Han could get rid of Cheng Huade, why would he care about her, his second aunt?

She threatened him viciously, "Cheng Han, if I am taken away by the police for investigation, the Cheng Family will not be able to stay out of it either."

Old Madam Cheng was very disappointed, "You actually still want to drag the Cheng Family down with you, you..."

"I would very much like to see how you intend to drag the Cheng Family down." Cheng Han gave the old madam a reassuring look.

If he hadn't made proper arrangements, he would not have had a showdown with the second mistress.

The second mistress slumped on the ground and was soon taken away by the police.

Old Madam Cheng looked much older and was supported back by Cheng Wan.

Cheng Han and Cheng Huayu returned after handling Cheng Huade's funeral arrangements, and Cheng Wan had just come downstairs.

She said in a low voice, "She just fell asleep, don't disturb her."

Cheng Huayu nodded, "Wanwan, thanks to you, she still has some solace in her heart."

"It is what I should do." Cheng Wan gestured for them to go to the living room.

The old madam was good to her, so she was naturally willing to be filial to the old madam.

Cheng Han and Cheng Huayu chatted for a while about company matters, then Cheng Huayu returned to his room.

Ping'an had a bit of a cold, and the third mistress was coaxing him to take his medicine; seeing her husband's poor expression, she asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Cheng Huayu sat down beside her and said in a low voice, "I just feel that Xiao Han's methods were still a bit too extreme."

Actually, there was no need to go that far.

After all, the second brother was dead; driving the second sister-in-law out would have been enough, so why did he have to call the police?

The third mistress knew her husband was soft-hearted, but being unable to see clearly in major matters was not a good thing.

She coaxed Ping'an into taking his medicine and let him go play to the side before speaking to her husband in a low voice.

"You, you don't feel the pain because it didn't happen to you. Put yourself in Xiao Han's shoes and think about how painful it must be to know your parents were killed by your own second uncle."

"His methods may be a bit extreme, but if he didn't do this, how could he have survived? And if he weren't ruthless, how could he protect his younger sister?"

Cheng Huayu understood these principles, he just felt sad.

Both of his older brothers were gone.

The third mistress gently hugged her husband, "Huayu, we just need to live our own lives well."

Cheng Huayu understood.

Cheng Wan stayed with the old madam until she woke up, then she let out a sigh of relief, "Grandma."

The old madam was stunned for a moment, "You stayed with me all night? You silly child, you are still carrying a child, why are you exhausting yourself like this? Go rest quickly."

Cheng Wan smiled; she could see that although the old madam was mentally weary, her voice was strong, so she knew the old madam was not in any serious trouble.

She smiled and comforted her with a few words, then returned to her own room, washed up, and went to sleep.

After waking up and going downstairs, she discovered that Old Master Chu and Chu Li had arrived.

Old Master Chu said with a smile, "Wanwan."

Cheng Wan did not look at Chu Li, but greeted the old master, "How do you have the time to come over?"

Old Master Chu said, "I heard something happened in your family, so I came to take a look."

Cheng Huade's funeral was not held on a grand scale, nor were friends and relatives invited, so it was only today that Old Master Chu found out.

He finally had an excuse to bring Chu Li to see Cheng Wan.

Chu Li sat to the side, saying nothing, and did not stare at Cheng Wan either.

At this moment, Cheng Wan arrived, and he took the initiative to stand up and say, "I'll go find Cheng Han."

Cheng Han had been exhausted for two days and had not yet gotten up.

Chu Li went to his room.

Cheng Wan went to the small Garden.

The autumn sun was warm and pleasant; whenever the weather was good, she always liked to bask in the sun in the morning.

Old Master Chu sighed in a low voice, "Old sister, the fate between our two families..."

He wanted to bring up the matter of Chu Li and Cheng Wan.

Old Madam Cheng gave him a cold look directly, "They have already divorced."

Old Master Chu was a bit anxious, "Cheng Wan is carrying A Li's child. In any case, I cannot let the flesh and blood of my Chu Family wander outside. Besides, they have a foundation of affection between them; it was only because of some misunderstandings that they separated. Why not let them spend time together and see?"

Old Madam Cheng gave a sarcastic cold snort, "Our Cheng Family is still capable of raising a child."

"I didn't mean you aren't capable of raising it."

Old Master Chu just wants to hold a great-grandchild.

"If Cheng Wan wants to keep this child, the child will take the Cheng surname; if she doesn't want to keep it, our family also supports her decision." Old Madam Cheng respects her granddaughter's decision.

"As for Chu Li," Old Madam Cheng said with disdain, "a man who is so muddled is not worthy of being a son-in-law of the Cheng Family. If you want a great-grandchild, arrange a blind date for him immediately; marry in the first month, get pregnant in the second month, there is still time."

"It's not..."

"If you don't have a suitable candidate, I can help you look for one."

Old Master Chu was retorted to the point of being speechless.

That was not what he meant at all; what he wanted was Cheng Wan as his granddaughter-in-law.

"Old sister, it is normal for young people to break up and get back together; as elders, we should try to persuade them."

Old Madam Cheng was indifferent, "Wanwan is excellent herself, and with the Cheng Family as her backing, what kind of man can't she find in the future? Why must she eat grass she has already grazed on?"

Old Master Chu: "..."

A Li, Grandfather has truly tried his best.

Second floor.

Chu Li stood by the window; from his position, he could see Cheng Wan in the small Garden.

She was sitting on a lounge chair, eyes closed, hands gently stroking her lower abdomen, with the sunlight spilling onto her.

Gentle and quiet.

Cheng Han rubbed his messy hair, with only two words in his heart.

Serves him right.

However, they were brothers who grew up together for many years, and Chu Li had also helped a lot with the Cheng Family's affairs this time, so Cheng Han did not stop Chu Li from watching.

Watch, then.

Watch a few more times.

Soon, he won't be able to see her anymore.

Although Cheng Wan was personally taught by Wen Suxue, her theoretical knowledge was ultimately lacking, so she planned to go for further studies.

And Old Master Fang also agreed with her decision; after all, perfume making is not something one can do behind closed doors—it requires the support of more knowledge and a broader perspective.

Cheng Wan going for further studies is a good thing.

And all of this, Cheng Han did not tell Chu Li.

After all, although he and Chu Li are good brothers, Chu Li did indeed let Cheng Wan down.
