Chapter 216: Uncle Chu Will Definitely Be Just Fine

~8 min read 1,417 words

Cheng Wan had never imagined that Chu Bolin and Chu Yue would do such a thing for the sake of shares in the Chu Group.

Fortunately, Cheng Han and Assistant Wu arrived in time.

Cheng Han beat Chu Bolin without the slightest hesitation.

Even though Chu Yue screamed and shouted, believing Cheng Han lacked upbringing, Chu Bolin was still beaten until his face was bruised and swollen.

He stopped his hand and stared coldly at Chu Yue, "When the Old Master returns, I will speak with him personally."

Chu Yue choked, suddenly unable to speak; the Old Master had gone to Bali Town not long ago.

He was old and always liked to reminisce about the past.

Thus, he decided to go to Bali Town to live for a period of time.

They were still keeping the news of Chu Li's accident from the Old Master.

This was also the reason why Chu Yue was so bold in wanting to seize power.

In any case, by the time the Old Master returned, she would already be the actual controller of the Chu Group; the Old Master was old, and he would have no way to shake her position.

But she had not expected Cheng Han and Assistant Wu to arrive so quickly.

Chu Yue argued with a guilty conscience, "I was only looking at the fact that A Li is still unconscious and worried about the group's affairs. Once he wakes up, I will naturally return everything to him. You all are making too much of a fuss."

Chu Bolin clamored, "Exactly, I am his father; could I possibly harm him?"

Responding to them was a slap from Madam Chu to each of them.

She used force, and the slap marks quickly appeared clearly.

Chu Yue was just about to shout in anger.

Madam Chu had already spoken first, "Chu Yue, ever since you returned, A Li has treated you well, and you have been the one making decisions on all matters big and small in the house. Are you still not satisfied?"

She looked at Chu Bolin again; she was very angry, yet she had nothing to say to Chu Bolin.

There was only deep disgust.

"Get out," Cheng Wan said coldly, driving them away.

Assistant Wu unceremoniously escorted Chu Yue and Chu Bolin out.

Cheng Han went over and picked up Cheng An'an, then patted Qin Ping'an on the head, "Ping'an is truly amazing."

Just now, it was Ping'an who had secretly taken a mobile phone and sent a message to Cheng Han, which was why Cheng Han had arrived so quickly.

A six-year-old child was already calm and clever enough.

Qin Ping'an looked at Chu Li, his eyes a little red.

"Uncle Chu will definitely be just fine."

Madam Chu felt heartbroken; she had never liked Qin Ping'an much, but now, her heart was filled with emotion.

Cheng Wan had raised the child very well.

Cheng Wan kissed Qin Ping'an on the cheek and let him leave with Cheng Han.

She asked Madam Chu, "Are you alright?"

Madam Chu shook her head; she just felt weary at heart.

Those people were always restless, wanting his life while A Li was sick.

"Wanwan, An'an must be terrified; you should go back."

"I will watch over A Li here."

Madam Chu would not leave another step.

Cheng Wan nodded and left.

She went to find Cheng Han.

Cheng Wan thought for a moment, then still sent a message to Assistant Wu, telling him to arrange for more people to guard the Yiyuan to ensure nothing went wrong.

Assistant Wu replied to the message; he had already made the arrangements.

From now on, except for Madam Chu, no one else would be allowed to enter the ward.

Cheng Han brought them back to the Cheng Family Old Residence.

Nowadays, this was the safest place.

Cheng Wan did not object; with Chu Li still not waking up, there was no telling what Chu Yue and Chu Bolin might do.

Moreover, that person who had taken her Perfume Notes had returned.

She had to protect Qin Ping'an and Cheng An'an.

Old Madam Cheng was overjoyed; she just hoped for the children to stay by her side.

Cheng Huayu and his wife went to tidy up the rooms themselves.

After eating, Cheng Wan received a phone call and went out.

The Fang Family.

Fang Yiwen was waiting for Cheng Wan at the entrance; seeing her, she immediately said in a low voice, "It is Katherine who has returned. Grandfather said you should meet her."

Cheng Wan gave a hum.

Katherine was Wen Suxue's senior fellow apprentice, and now she was also her senior fellow apprentice.

She should indeed meet her.

Before even entering the living room, she heard a woman's gentle voice, unhurried and rhythmic.

Cheng Wan walked in and greeted Old Master Fang first, "Master."

Old Master Fang introduced her and Katherine to each other.

Katherine was a very beautiful, gentle-natured Eastern woman.

She smiled gently at Cheng Wan, "I know of you; you are Xiaoxue's disciple."

In fact, she was not really a disciple, because the only disciple Wen Suxue had publicly claimed was Qin Xingwan.

Cheng Wan called out, "Senior Sister."

Katherine smiled gently and took a bottle of perfume out of the bag beside her.

"This is a perfume I just formulated. It hasn't been officially released yet; I'm giving it to you as a gift for our first meeting."

Cheng Wan took it, "Thank you."

Katherine resumed the topic she hadn't finished discussing with Old Master Fang.

She wanted to return to the country to develop her career.

But she hadn't found a suitable platform yet, and after much thought, she wanted to join Lingxiang, or perhaps Xingwan.

Xingwan was Cheng Wan's company; she had specifically chosen that name to commemorate a deceased person.

Fang Yiwen sat obediently to one side, his smile somewhat forced, "What a coincidence, I just hired someone there."

He was refusing her outright.

Katherine looked at Cheng Wan.

After a moment of thought, Cheng Wan also refused Katherine.

"My company hasn't been open for long, I'm afraid I can't afford to hire you, Senior Sister, for the time being."

She paused, then added, "However, I know that Chu Group is looking for a Perfumer. If you are willing, you could go take a look; they are the leader in our circle."

Katherine seemed interested in Chu Group and asked Cheng Wan to introduce it to her in detail.

Cheng Wan then explained everything about it from the inside out.

Katherine's eyes brightened slightly, "I didn't expect there to be such a good platform in the country."

She was impatient.

Cheng Wan offered, "The person in charge of the perfume division right now is Chu Cheng; you should know him."

Katherine naturally knew him; although Chu Cheng had not studied under her, he was the apprentice of a colleague she was well-acquainted with.

She had heard of this name.

Cheng Wan said lightly, "I think he would be very happy to have you join."

She also gave Chu Cheng's contact information to Katherine.

Katherine did not contact Chu Cheng immediately, but instead chatted unhurriedly with Old Master Fang about a recent perfume competition.

That was a grand event in the industry.

It happened once a year, and this time it was being held in Yuncheng.

Katherine invited Old Master Fang to serve as a judge.

Old Master Fang chuckled and refused, "Yiwen and Wanwan are both going to compete, so I must avoid any appearance of bias."

Katherine felt regretful, but upon hearing that Fang Yiwen and Cheng Wan were going, she became interested and said generously, "If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me."

Cheng Wan and Fang Yiwen thanked her, though both were thinking that with a senior like Old Master Fang here, why would they need to ask anyone else?

After dinner, Katherine left.

Old Master Fang let out a long sigh, feeling physically and mentally exhausted.

He asked Cheng Wan to help him walk outside for some air.

Cheng Wan agreed and supported his arm; she knew that Teacher Fang had something to say.

Sure enough, once they were out the door, Old Master Fang spoke up.

"Back then, among my two apprentices, I liked Wen Suxue more."

His gaze was distant, "She had high aptitude and was a rare genius; at that time, Katherine was always unconvinced and insisted on competing with her."
