Chapter 221: Returning to Beicheng Villa

It's just that... Chu Li...

Thinking of this name, Cheng Wan felt a slight ache in her heart.

How could Chu Li's ending be like this?

She hadn't paid attention to the car's direction, and by the time she came to her senses, the car had already stopped outside Beicheng Villa.

A familiar place.

The master was not home, so the servants had only turned on a few small lights.

Assistant Wu hurriedly said, "Miss Cheng, I'm sorry, I just forgot to tell the driver your address; I will send you back now."

"No need, I'll go down and walk around."

Cheng Wan pushed the car door open and got out.

She hadn't been here for a very, very long time, yet those entangled days seemed as if they were only yesterday.

She walked slowly up the steps and entered the passcode.

The door opened.

A servant hurried out, "Chu... Miss Cheng."

She was very pleasantly surprised, "You've returned."

"Sir hasn't returned yet, and he hasn't been home for some time; please come in and sit, I will call Sir."

She had always seen the affection between Cheng Wan and Chu Li, and she sincerely hoped they could reconcile.

Cheng Wan lifted her feet and walked inside; the decorations were familiar, and even the paintings on the walls hadn't been changed.

Assistant Wu had already stopped the servant from making the call.

"Miss Cheng," he asked in a low voice, "would you like to rest here tonight?"

He could tell that Cheng Wan was in a very bad mood at this moment.

She had hidden that sorrow deep in her heart.

Assistant Wu suddenly felt that she was actually a pitiful person too.

Cheng Wan thought for a moment and agreed.

Assistant Wu told the servant to go tidy up the room.

The servant replied in a low voice, "Following Sir's instructions, for these three years, we have cleaned the master bedroom every single day, just waiting for Miss Cheng to return."

Cheng Wan had already gone upstairs.

Pushing open the door to the master bedroom, the room was clean and tidy.

In the guest bedroom next door, it was also kept very neat, only it had many more men's items.

They were Chu Li's.

"Every time Sir missed you, he would come here to stay," the servant followed behind her, "If you aren't in a hurry to leave, wait for Sir; he will be very happy when he sees you here."

The servants at Beicheng Villa did not yet know that something had happened to Chu Li.

They were all still looking forward to Sir coming home.

Cheng Wan felt even sadder.

She closed the door to the guest bedroom, "I will be staying here for the time being."

The servant was very happy.

Assistant Wu left, "I will come to pick you up tomorrow morning."

Cheng Wan entered the master bedroom.

Assistant Wu found the servant and told her about Chu Li's situation; the servant was incredulous, then glanced upstairs, "Then Miss Cheng, she..."

"She looks calm, but she is actually very sad inside; serve her carefully."

"Understood."

Cheng Wan took a shower and lay on the bed; she wanted to sleep, but her mind was in complete chaos—one moment it was when they had just married and were as respectful as guests, the next it was when she was pregnant and they had spent a wonderful time together, and later, when Qin Yunshu returned to the country, everything changed.

Then later, he apologized to her, and they remarried.

And finally, he lay in the Yiyuan, his body ice-cold.

A lump of air was stuck in her chest, pressing against her throat.

Cheng Wan buried herself in the quilt, tears sliding down.

All this time, she had been cold and indifferent to him, thinking that she no longer loved him, so she felt not a shred of psychological pressure.

But only at this moment did she realize that she couldn't be indifferent to him at all.

She still had a place for him in her heart.

When Cheng Wan woke up the next day, her eyes were exceptionally swollen, and she had to wear sunglasses.

After eating a few bites of breakfast, Assistant Wu arrived, and he brought the latest news.

"According to the investigation results, the police believe there is a high possibility that the medication was dispensed incorrectly; it might have been that when the nurses changed shifts, they mixed up the medicine."

Mixed up?

Cheng Wan did not agree with this result.

"The ward where President Chu was staying was the best ward; there were no other patients besides him, so how could the nurse have dispensed the wrong medicine?"

Assistant Wu thought about it and realized that was indeed true.

It was just that the preliminary investigation results were as they were.

"Have you checked everyone who came into contact with the liquid medicine, from dispensing to injection?" Cheng Wan asked.

"They have all been checked; for the time being, nothing suspicious has been found," Assistant Wu handed the document to Cheng Wan, "Also, the high-level executives of the entire group know about this matter, and the situation is not looking good."

Cheng Wan raised an eyebrow, "You should go find the Old Master for this matter."

She dared not manage a listed group where a single business deal was worth hundreds of millions.

Assistant Wu hesitated for a moment, "Old Master Chu said you have full authority to make decisions."

Cheng Wan frowned; this was simply absurd.

What on earth was Old Master Chu thinking?

"Actually, Miss Cheng, you don't need to worry too much; the group's operational model is mature, and there won't be any major problems for the time being," Assistant Wu comforted Cheng Wan, "It's just that you need to show your face in front of those board members."

Representing Chu Li.

Cheng Wan currently runs a small perfume company of her own and has gradually come to understand the hardships involved.

She is very clear about her own capabilities.

She doesn't even have the qualifications to show her face.

Assistant Wu handed over a document, "These are documents that President Chu approved before he passed away; there are a few places that need correction, and they have all been marked. You just need to look at them and raise questions when the time comes."

Cheng Wan raised an eyebrow, "Must I go?"

At this point, as Chu Li's ex-wife, seeing him one last time was already doing the utmost benevolence and righteousness.

As for the group, she did not want it.

Assistant Wu sighed slightly, "This is all President Chu's life's work."

Cheng Wan could then say nothing more.

She took the document and followed Assistant Wu to the Chu Group building.

The news of Chu Li's death was no longer a secret, so Assistant Wu appearing with Cheng Wan immediately caused a huge uproar.

After all, everyone was guessing who the heir to the Chu Group would become.

Guessing back and forth, no one had expected it to be Chu Li's ex-wife.

Assistant Wu took Cheng Wan to Chu Li's office, asked her to wait a moment, and then went out.

Cheng Wan had been to Chu Li's office a few times; the furnishings here had almost not changed.

She walked behind the desk, looked at that chair, and sighed slightly.

She did not sit in that position, but instead went to the sofa and flipped through the documents.

Assistant Wu came over quickly and invited her to the conference room.

Cheng Wan took a deep breath and walked in.

There are nine board members of the Chu Group, and at this time, including various high-level executives, the spacious conference room appeared crowded.

Bearing the gazes of those people, Cheng Wan walked in slowly and sat in the foremost seat.

During the process, no one spoke.

"Let's begin." Cheng Wan was very calm and not stage-frightened.

Someone stood up, brought up a plan made a month ago, and asked if it needed to be continued.

Thinking of the content in the document, Cheng Wan answered that question.

Orderly and methodical.

Quite a few people looked sideways.

None of them had expected that Cheng Wan actually had some real ability.

For the subsequent questions, Cheng Wan was able to handle them all.

Seeing that it was ending, Cheng Wan breathed a sigh of relief.

Someone suddenly spoke up and asked what Cheng Wan thought about the matter of the Chu Group's heir.

Cheng Wan smiled faintly: "Rest assured, everyone; in any case, it is not any one of the people present."

She added: "Including me."

Assistant Wu wanted to interject but did not have time to speak.
