Chapter 257 - 257 Disaster
257 Disaster
Second Uncle Le didn’t believe that Le Yan would wake up so coincidentally as soon as Fu Sui left the ward.
Le Yan clutched her stomach and gasped. She had really been stabbed, and now that the anesthetic had lost its effect, the wound hurt.
“Fu Sui and his dad just quarreled. What else can I do other than pretend to be asleep?”
When Second Uncle Le heard that there was such a show, he immediately perked up his ears.
“Why did they quarrel?”
Le Yan bit her lower lip.
“His father wants him to give the He family’s second daughter a gift and agree to the marriage with the He family.
Second Uncle Le was immediately unwilling when he heard this.
“Why?!”
Le Yan quickly stopped him and asked him to keep his voice down, or it would be bad if Fu Sui heard it.
Second Uncle Le had no choice but to lower his voice.
“You were the one who got together with him first, and you saved his life this time. Why should the Fu family look down on you and let him go on a blind date and get married to another girl?”
Le Yan said coldly,
“Because the He family is rich and can develop a project with the Fu family. Because Second Miss He is loved by her family, marrying her means that she can get the help of the He family indirectly, and the interests of the two families are bound together.”
Second Uncle Le was unconvinced.
“Our Le family isn’t bad either.”
“No matter how rich the Le family is, it’s not our money,” Le Yan said.
This was because the company’s shares and real power were all in Papa Le’s hands. If the second branch of the family lost its share of the company’s dividends, they would be no different from ordinary people. They might even be worse than ordinary people.
How could Second Uncle Le not know about these things? However, he didn’t have the ability to get it back, and no one taught him how to deal with such a complicated matter.
So no matter how unwilling and dissatisfied he was in his heart, Second Uncle Le could only watch helplessly as the first household’s days became more and more prosperous.
“So, father, do you want to be like this for the rest of your life?” Le Yan asked.
Second Uncle Le retorted subconsciously,
“Who would want to be like this for the rest of their life?”
“If that’s the case… Then let’s think of a way to make our branch the head of the Le group,” Le Yan said in a low voice. “Then all the problems we’re facing now can be easily solved.”
Second Uncle Le was stunned and stuttered, “This… It’s good to be ambitious, but do you have the confidence to win against your uncle and your two cousins?”
“How can I fight against so many of them?” Le Yan shook her head. “But we can find outside help.” Le Yan looked at the door.
Second Uncle Le’s heart skipped a beat.
“Indeed, Fu Sui’s ability isn’t bad. Perhaps he can come up with a good idea to drive your uncle and cousin out of the company.”
“We can slowly plan this, there’s no rush.” Le Yan warned Second Uncle Le,
“Don’t tell anyone about what we said today. Otherwise, we will both suffer.”
Second Uncle Le rolled his eyes.
“It’s such a simple matter. Do you think I don’t understand?”
“I’m just taking precautions,” Le Yan said.
Second Uncle Le thought about what had happened in the past two days and the fact that they had yet to find out where Old Master Le and Grandma Le had been taken to.
He gritted his teeth.
“I’ll do as you say.”
In any case, if they succeeded, it would be a hundred benefits and no harm to them. If they failed, the Fu family would be at the bottom. At that time, all the responsibility would be pushed to him, and the people of the second branch could still go invisible.
Hearing Fu Sui’s footsteps approaching the ward, Le Yan lay back down and continued to pretend to be unconscious.
Fu Sui looked at the time.
“The doctor said she should wake up at this time. Why isn’t Yanyan moving? Did she hit her head?”
At this moment, Le Yan made some movements. Fu Sui was instantly delighted.
“Yanyan, you’re finally awake. You almost scared me to death.”
Le Yan clutched her stomach, half-lying on the bed with a weak look. Her whole body exuded a kind of charm that made people pity her, which made Second Uncle Le, who was watching from the side, click his tongue in wonder.
With Le Yan’s acting skills and her delicate appearance, she might be able to become famous in the entertainment industry as an actress.
Seeing the strange smile on Second Uncle Le’s face, Le Yan couldn’t help but glare at him. Second Uncle Le thought of the plan that they had just concocted and reluctantly put away his mocking expression. He thought to himself,
I’ll listen to you this time. If you fail again this time, don’t blame him for being merciless.
Fu Sui, who was so immersed in his joy, didn’t notice the eye contact between the father and daughter.
“It’s great that you’re awake. You can witness the moment of the game’s success with me tomorrow!”
