Chapter 268 The risk is too high, it won't work
Cheng Shiyan looked at her second sister's grief-stricken look, and she felt so sad that she couldn't express it. Could she still wait for Xiaoye to call her "third sister" affectionately?
On the other side. The Chu family villa.
Chu Xiyan stayed in the bedroom and didn't come out.
Chu's father and others stood outside the door, looking bored and anxious.
"Xiyan is becoming more and more obsessed with Cheng Ye. She even skipped breakfast and lunch today." Father Cheng smoked in a distracted manner.
Chu's mother paced back and forth anxiously.
She had shouted countless times outside, but Xiyan just replied weakly, telling them not to worry, and that was all. She didn't even have the energy to come out for dinner.
How can my body handle this?
"Xi Yan, please come out soon. It's not good for your health to stay in the house all the time. You need to eat something quickly." Mother Chu knocked on the door anxiously.
Mr. Chu was also very anxious. He said anxiously outside the bedroom door: "Xiyan, maybe Jiang Mian doesn't really like Xiaoye. He just has a temporary interest in Xiaoye. Maybe Jiang Mian won't like Xiaoye after a while."
"What's more, it is still unknown whether Jiang's parents will agree that Cheng Ye and Xiao Mian will be together in the future." The old man of the Chu family originally wanted to directly persuade Xiyan to let go of Xiaoye, but in the current situation, it was obvious that Xiyan still had feelings for Xiaoye and would not listen to him, so he could only say things that Xiyan liked to hear.
As soon as the old man of the Chu family finished speaking, the bedroom door was indeed opened.
Chu Xiyan's hair was messy, and it was obvious that she had not taken care of herself. Her hands hung at her side, tightly clutching a love letter.
This was a love letter she wrote to Cheng Ye a long time ago.
But she never had a suitable opportunity to give it to Cheng Ye.
Chu Xiyan's eyes were red and swollen: "Grandpa, do you really think that there is still a possibility for Cheng Ye and I in the future?"
The old man of the Chu family looked at Chu Xiyan's face full of hope and desire. He really didn't want to discourage his granddaughter, so he could only say against his conscience: "Yes, Xiyan, you have to cheer up. Xiaoye doesn't want to see you look so decadent."
Chu Xiyan was dazed when she heard this. "Really? But will Cheng Ye care about my mental state? I'm afraid he doesn't know that I couldn't sleep for several nights because of him."
Chu's father and mother were speechless and had to turn to the old man of the Chu family for help.
The old man of the Chu family suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
Once you tell a lie, you have to cover it up with more lies.
The old man of the Chu family was helpless and could only say more words to calm Chu Xiyan's emotions.
"Xiyan, with Jiang Mian's personality and pursuit of novelty, how could he only have one relationship?"
"Once the novelty wears off, that will be the day Jiang Mian and Xiao Ye break up."
“Besides, you and Xiaoye have an engagement as a married couple, and the Jiang family will not accept it.”
Hearing this, Chu Xiyan felt less depressed. She lowered her head and silently stroked the love letter in her hand.
Grandpa was right. The relationship between her and Cheng Ye just needed the right timing.
However, Jiang’s parents would not agree with the relationship between Cheng Ye and Jiang Mian.
Chu Xiyan comforted herself silently in her heart.
Once Jiang Mian loses the so-called novelty, she can just comfort Cheng Ye's wounded heart, and then her love story with him can begin naturally.
"Grandpa, Mom and Dad, you promised me that you would go with me to find Cheng Ye. Let's go find him. Going together as a family can show our sincerity to Cheng Ye."
Chu's father, Chu's mother and the old man of the Chu family were very conflicted.
Father Chu said, "Xiyan, I once reminded you that you need to be low-key in pursuing Cheng Ye. We can't afford to offend Jiang Mian. Last time, our Chu family was forced to cancel all cooperation with the largest material supplier because of Jiang Mian."
Chu Xiyan felt very painful when the old things were brought up again: "I'm sorry..."
Father Chu sighed: "Xiyan, I don't mean to blame you. If Jiang Mian finds out that you are pursuing Cheng Ye, she will have an unpredictable personality and will easily take a series of retaliatory actions against us."
"With the power of the Jiang family, it would be easy for them to suppress and control us." Chu's father reminded Chu Xiyan, "The rapid bankruptcy of the Xia family, one of the four great families, and the cooperation with our Chu family this time. I also received a notice that the Cheng family was forced to cancel their cooperation with the mayor. The amount of loss is estimated to be as high as tens of billions, which is more than the loss of our profits."
Father Chu continued, "It should be the result of Jiang Mian's secret manipulation."
Chu Xiyan was still a little unwilling: "Dad, Jiang Mian is always by Cheng Ye's side. Can't we find a suitable opportunity and secretly go to see Cheng Ye while Jiang Mian is away? It would be best if our whole family goes together, so that we can show our sincerity."
This proposal had been mentioned by Chu Xiyan before, and Chu's father agreed last time. But when he heard the familiar proposal again this time, Chu's father shook his head: "Xiyan, are you really comfortable pursuing Cheng Ye behind Jiang Mian's back?"
Chu Xiyan nodded unhappily: "Dad, I must be uncomfortable. I am the eldest daughter of the Chu family. I can only pursue love secretly. Of course, I feel very uncomfortable."
Father Chu was very helpless: "You already feel uncomfortable, so why continue?"
Chu Xiyan answered without any hesitation: "Because I love Cheng Ye, it's okay for me to suffer a little for him."
Chu's father felt that it was too risky for the whole family to go see Cheng Ye.
"Xiyan, this proposal is unrealistic. First of all, even if Cheng Ye and Jiang Mian are not together all the time, it is already very difficult for us to see Cheng Ye, or for our whole family to see Cheng Ye. I have company matters to be busy with, and I can't always spare time. It is possible that when Jiang Mian is not with Cheng Ye, I don't have time to go over. This situation is also possible."
"Besides, even if our whole family went there and showed our sincerity, what would that mean?" Father Chu frowned and said, "Father Cheng, Mother Cheng, and the three sisters of the Cheng family, they are at least Cheng Ye's relatives, right? But Cheng Ye remained indifferent to their whole family's requests for forgiveness, right?"
Father Chu urged: "Xiyan, the Cheng family has already demonstrated to us that this situation will not work. Let's not do anything unnecessary, okay?"
Chu Xiyan clenched the love letter in her hand and choked up as she said, "Dad, we are different from the Cheng family. The Cheng family did hurt Cheng Ye, but we were kept in the dark by Cheng Fenghao at most. Even if we did cause some harm, it was far less serious than what the Cheng family did."
The old man of the Chu family, who had not spoken for a long time, shook his head and sighed, "Xiyan, but you forgot that the Cheng family and Xiaoye have a blood relationship, but he is still indifferent. We are not even his relatives. Do you think he might change his mind about you?"
Chu Xiyan was a little angry: "Grandpa, you just expressed that Cheng Ye would fall in love with me again, why do you say it's impossible now?"
The old man of the Chu family was stunned by the question. After a long while, he reluctantly said, "The two are not in conflict. When Jiang Mian no longer has feelings for Xiao Ye, you will have a chance."
Chu Xiyan finally understood what her grandfather said, and she felt bitter in her heart: "Grandpa, you mean that as long as Jiang Mian doesn't lose interest in Xiao Ye, I won't have any chance, right?"
The old man of the Chu family hesitated, not knowing how to answer so as not to hurt Xiyan's feelings.
Grandpa's hesitation dealt a great blow to Chu Xiyan's self-esteem.
Only if Jiang Mian gives up, she will have a chance. If Jiang Mian doesn't give up, she will have no chance.
Isn’t grandpa’s implicit meaning that he is not as good as Jiang Mian?
The old man of the Chu family was at a loss and turned his gaze to Chu's father.
Father Chu said helplessly: "Xiyan, in short, it is unrealistic and risky for our whole family to go to see Cheng Ye. It is very easy for Jiang Mian to investigate our recent whereabouts. Moreover, even if she doesn't investigate, there is no guarantee that Cheng Ye will not tell Jiang Mian about this. Xiyan, it is really not appropriate."
Chu Xiyan bit her lower lip, her eyes red, "How do I know if I don't try? What if Cheng Ye changes his mind about me?"
Father Chu felt exhausted from what he said: "Xiyan, this is not a question of whether or not we will change our mind. It's that if we do this, we will offend Jiang Mian."
Mother Chu quickly added: "Xiyan, your father is right. The point is not whether Cheng Ye will forgive you, but we are worried and afraid that in the future, before Cheng Ye can forgive you, your life will be threatened by Jiang Mian."
Chu Xiyan screamed in despair: "Anyway, the core point you expressed is that I am not as good as Jiang Mian, and we are controlled by Jiang Mian!!!"
Chu's father, Chu's mother and the old man of the Chu family looked at each other, their eyes were full of helplessness.
"Xiyan, this is the fact. There is nothing we can do. Our Chu family is not as powerful as the Jiang family." Although Father Chu was reluctant to admit it, this was the fact and he could not lie. "And what I want to say is that Cheng Ye has no reason to give up Jiang Mian."
Chu Xiyan covered her ears with both hands at this time, "I don't want to listen! Stop talking!"
Mother Chu quickly pulled Chu Xiyan's arm and said as they walked downstairs, "Xiyan, don't think about these troubles now. Let's eat first. Only when you are full will you have the energy to think about these things."
Chu's father and the old man of the Chu family felt powerless. They said so much, but still failed to persuade Xiyan to give up Cheng Ye.
Getting Xiyan to give up is really a big task.
However, their Chu family really can't stand Xiyan's torment anymore.
If they continue to mess around like this, the Chu family will really be gone.
At the dinner table, Chu Xiyan was completely unexcited in the face of the sumptuous delicacies from land and sea.
The taste was obviously good, but she just couldn't swallow it.
She felt like a walking corpse, with her soul and body completely out of sync.
Chu Xiyan suddenly thought of Cheng Wei.
She didn't really have anything to ask, but she just wanted to make a phone call.
Cheng Wei also helps her father with company affairs.
Seeing that the phone screen lit up and it was Chu Xiyan's call, she temporarily stopped the work at hand and pressed the answer button: "Xiyan, what's the matter with you calling me?"
Chu Xiyan thought for a moment and asked, "Has Cheng Ye contacted you recently?"
Cheng Wei smiled bitterly: "Xiyan, what kind of question are you asking? Does Xiaoye seem to be the type to contact us on his own initiative?"
Chu Xiyan murmured to herself: "He didn't contact me on his own initiative either."
Cheng Wei frowned. This time, Xiyan called her and it didn't seem like she had something serious to talk to her about.
After a while, Cheng Wei asked her again: "Xiyan, what's the matter? If there's nothing else, I'll hang up. I'm very busy right now. If you want to chat with me, I guess I don't have time."
Cheng Wei was very anxious these days. She was absent-minded when handling some company affairs, which led to some serious mistakes, and Cheng's father criticized her several times for this.
This made Cheng Wei even more worried about whether Cheng's father would give up on her as the future heir of the Cheng family.
The second and third sisters, although both of them are not interested in the position of heir to the Cheng family, it does not mean that Father Cheng will completely consider the second and third sisters.
When it comes to core interests, Cheng Wei is more likely to think about it. However, Xiaoye is still her biggest competitor.
Cheng Fenghao has been imprisoned and it will be difficult for him to return to the Cheng family in the future, so he does not pose any threat for the time being.
However, the potential threat posed by Xiaoye was somewhat beyond Cheng Wei's control.
She felt guilty about Xiaoye, but she also didn't want Xiaoye to threaten her position as the heir to the Cheng family.
Cheng Wei was having a headache thinking about it.
Chu Xiyan knew that Cheng Wei didn't want to just have a simple chat, so she simply asked about Cheng Wei's relationship affairs.
"Don't you like Si Jin? Why don't you go find him?"
Hearing this, Cheng Wei was very sad: "I'm so busy, how can I have the energy to look for him?"
Chu Xiyan knew that the person Si Jin really liked was Jiang Mian. If she could bring Si Jin and Jiang Mian together, Cheng Ye would come out alone.
At that time, I can give Cheng Ye warm care at the critical moment when Cheng Ye is heartbroken.
So now she plans to get to know Si Jin so that she can increase her chances of winning.
"But Cheng Wei, if you don't go find him, you won't have the chance to confess your feelings." Chu Xiyan said, "You sent me a message saying that your second sister didn't have the chance to confess her feelings to Xie Zeyu, but Lin Kexing got there first."
Cheng Wei's face changed, "What do you want to say?"
Chu Xiyan explained: "It means that you need to hurry up and confess, otherwise Jiang Mian will get there first."
Cheng Wei's expression turned unhappy: "Impossible, Jiang Mian is still dating Xiao Ye, he won't confess to Si Jin."
During this period of time, she has been working diligently in order to improve herself in order to attract Si Jin's attention.
Chu Xiyan analyzed the specific situation: "Cheng Wei, Si Jin and Jiang Mian were classmates during their doctoral studies. Although I can't find out Si Jin's true identity, his identity must be extraordinary."
"Why do you say that?" Cheng Wei was stunned. "In my opinion, he is just a good student. Is there anything special about his family background?"
