Chapter 1702: Chapter 13: Extra Story of Boss Yun and the Little Cousin (3)

"After a whole day of fussing, I, I’ll go wash my face."

"Grandfather used to say that after you’ve heard a better play, even if the most popular performer sings a segment for you, naturally no one else can compare, right, cousin!"

Fan Zhengyu’s little face stiffened, and he crowded around the sickbed, pretending not to hear.

...

The old man suffers from Alzheimer’s, naturally unlike ordinary patients. Sometimes when he gets rowdy, he’s just like a child. During that period, everyone’s attention was focused on him, and Fan Zhengyu was able to temporarily escape a catastrophe.

However, as the old man’s condition improved, what had to happen was inevitable.

Both Fan Mingjue and his wife are teachers, temporarily finding other teachers to substitute for two classes is manageable, but doing so for an extended period wouldn’t work. The couple took turns coming, while Fan Zhengyu put aside his performance work, spending most of his time at the hospital.

Apart from them, the most frequent visitor was Fan Mingyu, often accompanied by the Jiang brothers, sometimes even Jiang Xiaowai during weekends. The old man loves children, seeing them makes him happy, and so Xiaowai might stay a whole day, which resulted in Fan Zhengyu facing Jiang Jinsang for quite a long time.

Everyone was aware of the matter between her and Yun Hezhi, but kept it a tacit agreement.

Until one day, Fan Mingjue suddenly said:

Fan Mingjue directly mentioned:

"Does any of you have that boss Yun’s contact information?"

Jiang Jinsang remained silent.

"During the old man’s surgery, he also waited with us outside for seven or eight hours, it was really not easy. When the old man is discharged, I must invite him for a meal."

Fan Mingjue smiled, but Fan Zhengyu sat aside, trembling like a leaf.

**

The meeting was scheduled for after the old man was discharged.

Originally, it was only supposed to be Fan Mingjue and his wife going, but then Fan Mingyu said: "I have only one niece, Zhengyu. How can I, as her aunt, not be concerned about her lifelong matters? Although I know Yun Hezhi, my status and position are different, I also need to take a look."

When Fan Zhengyu heard from her father that her aunt was also going, she was actually quite happy.

Fan Mingyu cared for her exceedingly, so if anything happened, she could definitely help her out.

But after Fan Mingjue finished speaking, he added:

"Your two cousins said you are the only cousin they have, and they also want to help you assess."

Fan Zhengyu was dumbfounded: "... "

Wasn’t it supposed to be a simple meal? How did it become that the whole aunt’s family is coming?

Jiang Jinsang purely wanted to join in on the fun, while Jiang Yanting expressed that since everyone was going, as the older cousin he couldn’t just stand aside. With all this back and forth, it led to the situation Yun Hezhi faced at the beginning.

Fan family couple, Jiang Zhenhuan couple, along with Jiang Jinsang and Jiang Yanting...

And Yun Hezhi, standing alone.

Fan Zhengyu kept on telling him, "Don’t be nervous, they really aren’t scary, don’t worry too much."

"I’m alright." Yun Hezhi truly was not worried.

"You really aren’t scared? I didn’t know aunt and cousins would come too."

It was also Yun Hezhi’s fault for taking Fan Zhengyu to the hospital, too many people saw them, naturally sparking curiosity.

"I can handle it, don’t worry too much." Yun Hezhi reassured her.

And as facts proved, Yun Hezhi really wasn’t nervous in front of these big shots.

With years of stage experience, he has handled all kinds of emergency situations, most importantly...

In the past few years, he often frequented the Jing family. He was capable of dealing with the notorious big shots there, and was well-prepared to handle them.

Upon meeting, he remained composed and steady.

Jiang Jinsang hadn’t met Yun Hezhi many times, only knew he was now a famed performer, highly valued by Madam Jing, with rumors even suggesting Madam Jing wanted to adopt him as a godson.

Previously, when Tang Wan held an exhibition, Yun Hezhi went with Jing’s sixth young master, indicating their relationship was not ordinary.

Jiang Jinsang was curious about how these two ended up together, even Tang Wan, upon hearing this, was quite surprised.

Nonetheless, this boss Yun was indeed impressive, being watched by so many scrutinizing eyes, especially his brother and father, who were sharp-eyed, yet he remained utterly unfazed.

His mental fortitude was indeed strong.

Embracing a mindset of watching the fun and stirring the pot, Jiang Jinsang leisurely drank tea, unexpectedly finding that Fan Mingjue merely inquired about how the two met, but Yun Hezhi switched gears, pushing him into the spotlight.

"Speaking of acquaintance, the first meeting was introduced by Fifth Young Master."

Jiang Jinsang was stunned.

All eyes instantly focused on him.

Especially Fan Mingjue, whose gaze undoubted treated him as the culprit, that unspeakable coercive power rushed over, leaving Jiang Jinsang shaken.

He just came to watch the show, how did his own house collapse for no reason?

Even Fan Zhengyu was stunned by Yun Hezhi’s sudden move...

He suddenly dragged her cousin down with him.

"Xiaowu... shouldn’t you explain this matter?" Fan Mingjue sipped tea, looking at him earnestly.

Jiang Jinsang didn’t immediately recall, glancing at Yun Hezhi, who simply said, "That was when I first held an exhibition in Beijing..."

He carefully remembered, was there such a thing?

However, this was five or six years ago, these two couldn’t have been involved since then, otherwise, this stealthy operation span seems overly long.

"Yes, there’s indeed such a thing." Jiang Jinsang didn’t deny it but quickly calmed down, examining Yun Hezhi.

He had previously only regarded this person as one of Tang Wan’s clients, didn’t have much deep acquaintance with him, but many years ago, Qi Zeyan had said he was no good, a manipulative man, only later realizing it was to make him recognize his own feelings.

At the time, Jiang Jinsang felt Yun Hezhi, in handling emotions, was straightforward, didn’t take advantage of others, didn’t directly steal someone’s partner, was quite a character, upon hearing his confrontation with Qi Zeyan, he even reflected that if boss Yun had the intent to steal, Qi Zeyan and Ruan Mengxi might not have been so smooth.

This person... has a bit of brains.

Now it seems, truly not simple!

Since he entered the room, clearly all attention was focused on him, yet with one sentence...

He didn’t fabricate or speculate, merely stated a fact, but dragged him down.

Diverting attention, thoroughly muddying the waters.

This person is definitely a hidden schemer, no wonder his little cousin fell into his trap.

Fan Zhengyu appears smart and clever, but in reality, lacks real intellect, with her demeanor, she’s likely to be tightly controlled by Yun Hezhi.
