We have severed our relationship, so who will still pamper you?

Chapter 264 Cancellation of cooperation, loss of benefits

Cheng Ye frowned and said in a cold tone: "What does it have to do with me?"

Chu Xiyan's expression changed, "But Cheng Ye, it was her fault."

Cheng Ye felt that Chu Xiyan was really annoying: "Oh, at most it proves that my girlfriend is capable. Do you want me to vent your anger for you? Who do you think you are?"

Chu Xiyan's face was filled with shock. She didn't expect Cheng Ye to say such hurtful words.

"Cheng Ye, our engagement..." Chu Xiyan was interrupted by Cheng Ye before she could finish her words.

"You're saying this again, Chu Xiyan. How many times do you want me to repeat it before you recognize your position? You and I have nothing to do with each other. Don't keep thinking about destroying the relationship between me and Jiang Mian. You're not my type. No matter what you do, I won't have any feelings for you."

"Similarly, Jiang Mian is not only a lover to me, but also a relative. Don't expect me to stand on your side."

Cheng Ye's words were like sharp thorns that pierced into Chu Xiyan's heart.

Chu Xiyan was in so much pain that she had trouble breathing. "Cheng Ye, what if Jiang Mian is different from the one you know? Would you..."

She firmly believed that Cheng Ye just didn't know Jiang Mian's true identity and was kept in the dark by Jiang Mian. But if he knew the truth one day, Cheng Ye would definitely change his attitude towards her.

However, perhaps Chu Xiyan underestimated Cheng Ye's feelings for Jiang Mian, or maybe she was too narcissistic and refused to admit that Cheng Ye had no feelings for her at all. She believed that even if he didn't have any feelings for her for the time being, he would definitely develop feelings as time went by.

Cheng Ye looked impatient, "Chu Xiyan, you are really annoying. I noticed that you like to pick on a certain thing to try to sow discord between me and Jiang Mian. But I'm going to say this today. Jiang Mian and I are a community. Even if she has done something wrong, I still like her. Also, everyone is a relatively independent individual with different personalities. As long as they don't harm society, there is no good or bad distinction. So, Chu Xiyan, if you criticize my girlfriend's personality in front of me again, don't blame me for being rude to you."

At this point, Cheng Ye sneered: "It's just that my girlfriend has a very good personality, otherwise you don't know how many times you would have died."

Cheng Ye was extremely impatient. He had never had much patience. His tone was full of sarcasm. "If you want to pursue me, first see if you are qualified."

After saying that, Cheng Ye took Jiang Mian and left.

Chu Xiyan stared blankly at Cheng Ye who had left her here without any emotion. The hurtful words that Cheng Ye had said to her echoed in her mind. The pain and suffocation caused by Jiang Mian pinching her neck had not completely dissipated until now.

She was now suffering from both physical and mental pain. She could no longer hold on. Her shaking body collapsed as she squatted on the ground, hugging her arms, burying her face in her knees and crying bitterly.

why?

Why did I try so hard but still couldn't get Cheng Ye's forgiveness?

Didn't even look at her a few more times...

The housekeeper and bodyguards were at a loss as to what to do when they saw their young lady crying so hard. As subordinates, they couldn't comfort her because her emotional affairs were involved. Moreover, Jiang Mian had just bullied the young lady, but they failed to protect her. They also had an unshirkable responsibility.

The housekeeper and the bodyguard were a little scared. If they went back and let Chu's father, mother, and old man see the obvious marks on Miss Chu's neck, they didn't know if they would blame them for not protecting Miss Chu well...

Chu Xiyan returned to the living room of the Chu family villa in a daze, and saw Chu's father and others sitting neatly on the sofa in the living room.

She was distraught and sat on the sofa opposite them.

Father Chu looked solemn as he stared at his daughter's tear-stained face. It was obvious that Cheng Ye had hurt her badly. He felt very distressed, but he felt helpless. "Xi Yan, give up."

Chu Xiyan lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking about.

Mother Chu cried bitterly. She knew that persuading Xiyan to give up Cheng Ye was a very cruel thing in Xiyan's eyes. But she had to do it. When she was about to persuade her, Mother Chu suddenly noticed the marks on Xiyan's neck, and she was immediately frightened.

"Xi Yan, what's the matter with the wound on your neck? Why is there such a severe mark?!" Chu's mother said angrily.

After she finished speaking, she looked indignantly at the housekeeper and bodyguard who walked in behind Chu Xiyan, "How did you do things? You actually let the young lady get hurt?!"

The butler and bodyguard were so scared that they knelt on the ground and admitted their mistakes.

"Mrs. Chu, we had no other options at the time. When Jiang Mian grabbed her neck, if we stepped forward to help, it would have backfired and offended Jiang Mian even more. We had no choice but to wait and see what happened."

Mother Chu was furious: "I didn't protect her well, and you still have the nerve to make excuses? Jiang Mian is a weak little girl. If you had pulled her away in time, she wouldn't have been hurt!!"

Hearing this, the butler and the bodyguard were so frightened that their cheeks were covered with sweat, and they kowtowed repeatedly to apologize and admit their mistakes.

"It's our fault, it's our fault, we are willing to be punished..."

"Mom, I'm so tired, please be quiet." Chu Xiyan raised her lifeless eyes listlessly, "Jiang Mian is very strong, and he has a strong family background. A head-on confrontation will only make things worse. We really can't blame them entirely."

Chu Xiyan's eyes dimmed. She was very confused about pursuing Cheng Ye. What could a rich girl from one of the three rich families in Beijing do? She still couldn't compete with Jiang Mian, couldn't pursue the boy she liked, and couldn't get the beautiful love she wanted?

Chu's mother was very angry, but she didn't give in. She couldn't disturb her daughter's ears. Her daughter was in a bad mood and needed a quiet environment.

So he waved his hand irritably, signaling the two of them to leave the living room quickly and stand in the yard outside the gate as punishment.

Half an hour later, seeing that Chu Xiyan's mood had almost recovered, Father Chu and the others considered their words for a while, and Father Chu said earnestly, "Xiyan, you already know that the company's cooperation will probably never be restored because of Jiang Mian. I haven't found a more suitable material supplier yet. The accident happened too suddenly, leaving us without any preparation."

The old man of the Chu family sighed: "The loss caused by the cancellation of this cooperation will be at least 10 billion. Xiyan, the loss of money is not the most important thing. Your current safety, and even the safety of our Chu family..."

The old man of the Chu family did not say anything else, but Chu Xiyan already knew it.

She was so tired, and a strong sense of guilt rose in her heart: "Mom, Dad, Grandpa, I'm sorry. If it weren't for me, the Chu family wouldn't have suffered any loss of interests."

Mother Chu said with tears in her eyes: "Xiyan, we care more about your personal safety. Jiang Mian's personality is unfathomable. She is moody. We are one of the three major wealthy families in Beijing after all, but she didn't even give us a little face. She didn't even notify us and directly ruined our cooperation with the largest material supplier."

"Yes, I bullied you again today." Father Chu sighed, "We can only try to keep things quiet and pretend that nothing happened."

The old man of the Chu family felt that this matter was particularly frustrating. A major cooperation project was lost, and his granddaughter was bullied by Jiang Mian so unscrupulously. In the end, they could do nothing, let alone seek justice for the Chu family and Xiyan. They were not even able to give the most basic warning.

After a long time, the old man of the Chu family shook his head helplessly and said: "Xiyan, give up."

Then, Father Chu persuaded: "You certainly can't think about this problem so quickly at the moment, but you can think about it slowly. Cheng Ye is indeed excellent, but we are too far away from him, and he still has the Jiang family's protection. Objectively speaking, the probability of you and Cheng Ye being together is too low. Originally, there was a big gap between our Chu family and the Jiang family. Now that we are suppressed by the Jiang family, the gap between the two sides has widened a lot."

Mother Chu really couldn't bear to see her daughter get hurt. "Xiyan, it's better to suffer a short pain than a long one. I'll ask the school counselor for a leave for you. You don't need to worry about anything at the company. During this time, you should think about this matter carefully. Also, pay more attention to your diet and sleep every day, and don't waste your energy."

The air was so quiet. After an unknown amount of time, Chu Xiyan replied weakly, "Okay. I'll go back to my room and rest first."

She stumbled to her feet, and Chu's mother quickly stood up to support Chu Xiyan, who was not concentrating enough.

Chu's father and the old man of the Chu family watched the two of them go upstairs with concern.

Ten seconds later, Chu's father's face darkened: "Dad, are we just going to let this go?"

The old man of the Chu family felt helpless: "Forget it, what else can we do? Recently, we should restrain ourselves and not mention this matter. We can't let the Jiang family, especially Jiang Mian, know about it even if we are holding back our anger."

Chu's father was very upset. The loss of at least 10 billion yuan would be heartbreaking for anyone.

Central hospital.

VIP ward.

"Still haven't found them?" Father Cheng frowned, "Could it be that Cheng Fenghao's biological parents have fled abroad?"

Butler Zhang said: "I have notified all the cities outside the capital where we have placed our spies. But they all said that they have not found Cheng Fenghao's biological parents."

Cheng Zhirou asked, "Is it possible that Cheng Fenghao's biological parents are no longer in this world? They were still alive and well during the years when Xiaoye was brought back, but now they no longer exist."

Father Cheng thought for a moment, "That's a possibility."

Cheng's mother was unhappy: "It's been so long, what's there to look for? We don't know them well, what's the point of looking for them?"

Of course, the main reason that Cheng's mother did not say was that she did not want to see them.

After a while, Cheng's father nodded and said, "That's right. Cheng Fenghao has been imprisoned. I don't plan to let him inherit the Cheng family's property now, so why should I find out whether Cheng Fenghao's biological parents are dead or alive. Forget it, let's stop looking for someone here."

Cheng Wei and Cheng Shiyan said in unison: "No!"

Father Cheng was puzzled: "Why?"

Cheng Wei and Cheng Shiyan looked at each other. Whether Cheng Fenghao's biological parents were found or not would directly determine whether Cheng Fenghao would never be able to return to the Cheng family, so this matter was too important.

"Dad, we've already started looking, so why would we give up halfway?" Cheng Wei said, "Let's keep looking. After all, Cheng Fenghao has been with us for eighteen years, so it's our duty to help him find his biological parents."

Father Chu frowned and questioned, "Didn't Cheng Fenghao not tell us? He even faked the tomb. Maybe he knows where his biological parents are, and maybe he hid them. Humph, I don't care about this matter. Who cares about the biological parents of a person who wants to kill for money?"

The second sister Cheng Zhirou didn't say anything. She also felt that there was no special meaning in continuing the search. "Eldest sister, third sister, Cheng Fenghao wants to kill the three sisters of our Cheng family. Why do you still care about him?"

Cheng Wei and Cheng Shiyan really wanted to tell the truth, but because their mother was there, they couldn't do so.

Cheng Shiyan stuttered, "I'm not concerned about him, I'm just purely curious."

Cheng Zhirou: “…”

Suddenly, the cell phone in Cheng's father's pocket rang.

He checked the cell phone number and saw that it was a call from an assistant in the company.

Father Cheng stared at the screen of his mobile phone and had some bad thoughts in his mind.

After hesitating for half a second, he pressed the answer button.

"Chairman, something terrible has happened!"

The assistant's panicked voice suddenly reached Cheng's father's ears.

Father Cheng frowned fiercely: "What's the matter?"

"The mayor of Beijing City suddenly informed us that from today onwards, all cooperation with the Cheng family will be cancelled, including but not limited to finance, real estate, catering, and other fields."

Father Cheng frowned, "The mayor canceled all cooperation with us?! Is it really that outrageous?! He didn't even inform me in advance, and just canceled it without telling me. Does he still take our Cheng family seriously?!"

Cheng's mother and others were shocked.

The assistant replied tremblingly: "It's like this, we don't know what happened, he just informed us all of a sudden."

Father Cheng was wondering if he was having a nightmare. The Cheng family and the city mayor had countless collaborations. It was not just normal business dealings. The most important thing was that the city mayor held a lot of power and had many channels and resources that ordinary merchants could not get. But as long as they attached themselves to the city mayor, they would have the opportunity to get the channels and resources, and they might even be lucky enough to get the most favorable corporate subsidies from the city mayor.

In short, there are so many benefits involved.

If there is no cooperation with the mayor, Cheng's father's heart is bleeding. He is furious and says, "Impossible, absolutely impossible. If we cooperate with him, he can make a lot of money. I don't believe that he will give up the huge profits and rashly cancel the cooperation with us, not to mention all the cooperation. This is simply unrealistic. Is the mayor kidding us?!"

The assistant explained carefully: "Chairman, the mayor did not give a specific reason. I don't know what happened."

Father Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "I'll call and ask in person."

On the other side, the mayor looked at the table filled with various contracts, and he felt extremely heartbroken.

He cancelled all cooperation with the Cheng family, and the loss of profits was conservatively estimated to be tens of billions.
