Chapter 202 -202: Cheng Yue’s Calculations

Liang Suisui posted a question mark emoji in the group chat, “Fortunately, I’ve long realized that he is mentally impaired. Is he sick or what, planning to renew an old relationship with Gao Yang right before his engagement? And does Chu Lin not know about the feud between Gao Yang and Xiao Xi?”

Yuan Xi showed the photo on her phone to Chu Lin, who had just come back inside after finishing a phone call, “You should know that Gao Yang deliberately set me up for cyberbullying, right?”

Chu Lin looked at the photo Yuan Xi handed him and scrolled through the news fabricated by the marketing accounts. He frowned and said, “The day she was photographed, she was at Jiangye being forced to drink by several older men. She asked me for help.

I also have shares in Jiangye. Separate issues should be dealt separately. She plotted against you and has received her retribution. Since I knew her, I couldn’t just watch her get into trouble at Jiangye, could I? I didn’t expect someone to take a secret photo.”

Yuan Xi truly couldn’t question him further. Even if she despised Gao Yang for hypocritically championing feminism while climbing up on the backs of other women, if she saw Gao Yang being forced to drink and asking for help, Yuan Xi wouldn’t ignore her.

Dislike aside, it was indeed necessary to lend a hand in a matter of principle.

“Then why did you give her your coat?” Yuan Xi asked.

Chu Lin responded, “Life isn’t easy for Gao Yang, a girl trying to make ends meet in Jiang City. Though she previously gained fame by cyberbullying others, she has paid the price for it. Standing by her at the entrance of Jiangye could deter men with ill intentions towards Gao Yang.”

Listening to Chu Lin’s explanation, Yuan Xi suddenly couldn’t find anything to refute, but she still felt uncomfortable inside.

Cheng Yue scoffed, “Did you ever think that when Gao Yang plotted the cyberbullying against your sister to gain followers and attract traffic, did she consider that it wasn’t easy for your sister either?

There’s nothing wrong with helping her out when you see someone harboring bad intentions, but you shouldn’t have tried to support her and intimidate others in the process.

Even though Gao Yang has also been cyberbullied, she later became an internet celebrity through a large following, earning quite a bit of money from it. She’s now a hostess on Jing Vision and isn’t short of ways to make money. She could completely leave Jiang City and the socializing environment – why should you support her?

By supporting her, aren’t you letting everyone in Jiang City know that it’s okay to offend your sister, because even if Gao Yang offended your sister, she still has your protection? Doesn’t that also say to the outside world that the Chu Family doesn’t value your sister very much?”

When Yuan Xi heard Cheng Yue’s words, she looked at Cheng Yue and understood the source of her discomfort.

At the end of the day, Chuneng Group was still her parents’.

Gao Yang plotted to cyberbully her, and as the Crown Prince of Chuneng Group, Chu Lin was supporting Gao Yang. Wouldn’t she then become a laughingstock in Jiang City?

Yang Ying frowned, looking very displeased at Chu Lin, “Cheng Yue is right; with your behavior, how can I trust to hand Chuneng over to you?”

Yang Ying continued irritably, “I was actually thinking of retiring and passing my position to you after your engagement, but now I think better of it, I’ll postpone my retirement…”

Chu Qing said, “The doctor already told you to rest properly.”

Chu Qing turned to Yuan Xi, “Xinxin, do you want to come back to Chuneng?”

Yuan Xi chuckled and shook her head, “Mi Chen is already busy enough with work, and I have been with Mi Chen since graduation. I am not very familiar with the traditional energy industry like Chuneng, so let’s forget it.”

Although Yuan Xi quite liked the idea of wresting control of Chuneng Group from Chu Lin’s hands, she didn’t believe she was capable of managing Chuneng well.

Even Huo Shiyuan, who had founded Shixi with his own hands, faced some difficulties taking over Shi Yi. Yuan Xi, accustomed to a company filled with young people, likely couldn’t adapt to the employee management of a traditional industry.

Yuan Xi said with a light smile, “However, I think Sister Cheng could… She’s been with Chuneng for many years, hasn’t she?”

Chu Lin’s brow slightly furrowed as he looked at Yuan Xi.

Yang Ying thought about it and said, “That’s true. Cheng Yue is more suitable to take over my position than Chu Lin.”

Cheng Yue said, “Thank you, Mom. I won’t let you down.”

Chu Lin’s brow was furrowed deeply, but he couldn’t say a word at this time.

After dinner, Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyuan got into the car.

Once inside the car, Huo Shiyuan looked at the faint smile on Yuan Xi’s face and asked, “So happy?”

Yuan Xi said, “Didn’t you see Chu Lin’s face just now? It was truly like describing it as ashen. Cheng Yue has become his boss now.”

Huo Shiyuan rubbed the head of the smiling Yuan Xi, “You’re being used as a pawn by others, and you’re still smiling?”

Yuan Xi was slightly stunned, “What do you mean?”

Huo Shiyuan said, “Such high-definition photos are not taken by regular netizens or paparazzi. Also, though Gao Yang is a minor internet celebrity now, the fact that her love life was spread so quickly by marketing accounts makes it clear that someone paid to spread it.”

Yuan Xi pursed her lips and said, “Gao Yang probably wouldn’t use the same trick again. This time, I don’t think it was spread by Gao Yang.”

After all, Gao Yang’s raised banner was against the ‘Big Wife Teaching’, and now that the news of Chu Lin’s engagement had spread throughout Jiang City’s wealthy circles, she wouldn’t be unaware of it in Jiangye.

Chu Lin was Gao Yang’s ex, and because he was an ex, Gao Yang couldn’t use the same methods to let Cheng Yue tear her apart for a bout of popularity. If it wasn’t Gao Yang…

Yuan Xi said, “Could it be Cheng Yue who had someone take the pictures? What for? How could stirring up this news before the engagement benefit her?”

Huo Shiyuan raised an eyebrow at Yuan Xi, “Didn’t she benefit already? She became Chu Lin’s boss.”

Yuan Xi thought about it and said, “How did she know I would suggest having her replace Chu Lin? What if I hadn’t said that?”

Huo Shiyuan chuckled, “The Chu family’s engagement is not to be messed with. Even if you hadn’t suggested Cheng Yue replace Chu Lin for your mother’s position, Cheng Yue could still have made a scene with Chu Lin over his lingering ties with his ex-girlfriend. Your parents couldn’t afford to lose face by having an engagement banquet without a bride; thus, they would also agree to Cheng Yue’s demands for a sense of security…”

“You have to admit, this sister-in-law of yours is quite clever.”

“When you brought up the news to Chu Lin just now, Cheng Yue quickly thought of speaking up for you, thereby gaining your favor towards her.”

Yuan Xi, upon reflecting on Huo Shiyuan’s words, realized it was indeed the case.

Yuan Xi thought she had seen a fair share of power struggles and intrigues in her years on the job field, but this time she had to admit she was outclassed.

Yuan Xi asked, “Do you think she’ll seize power and potentially hurt my parents?”

Huo Shiyuan said, “Our parents are not fools. They founded Chuneng Group and turned it into Jiang City’s monopolistic energy industry with formidable methods. Moreover, it’s not certain that they’re unaware of Cheng Yue’s tactics. Cheng Yue’s ambitions and resourcefulness might not necessarily be a bad thing for Chuneng Group’s future.”

Huo Shiyuan went on, “The Chu family has been the richest in Jiang City for many years; they wouldn’t allow just any daughter-in-law to enter through their doors because of their children. ‘Relying on one’s child for honor’ has always been a joke. Your mother certainly wouldn’t agree to Cheng Yue becoming Chu Lin’s wife just because Cheng Yue was carrying Chu Lin’s child. The child might be the least important reason.”

Yuan Xi looked at Huo Shiyuan and asked, “If, I mean if, we didn’t know each other before, and a year ago I told you I was pregnant with your child, would you still have married me?”
