Chapter 409 Killing Yan Zuozuo
Chapter 409 Killing Yan Zuozuo
Yan Zuozuo smiled and said, "It's not serious. Do you expect me to make a big fuss and announce it to the world?"
"Then you should also tell me. Don't say that President Chi instructed Young Master Ou to take care of you. You are still my sister. You are sick, of course I should take care of you."
"Thank you, Guoguo." Yan Zuozuo reached out and patted her head. This girl was really cute, and she liked her.
Chi Xuecan sat down next to Yan Zuozuo and asked worriedly, "What about other places? Are you injured?" She took Yan Zuozuo's hand and started to check.
Yan Zuozuo shook her head: "I'm fine, I probably just drank too much coffee..."
"Let me see, otherwise I won't feel at ease." Chi Xuecan pulled her to check, and Yan Zuozuo could only go along with her until she was sure that Yan Zuozuo was alright. Only then did Chi Xuecan feel at ease. But she couldn't help but sigh, "It's really hard on you. Xiao Qingzi isn't here, and you're sick and hospitalized all by yourself."
"That's right, that's right! My brother abandoned his wife to make money. Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll call and yell at him!" Chi Ran, with her fiery temper, took out her phone to make a call.
"No, no, no, what does this have to do with your brother? It's all my fault for not being careful. Your brother is so busy, don't bother him." Yan Zuozuo said repeatedly, displaying the authority of a sister-in-law.
Chi Ran frowned: "Sister-in-law, you spoil my brother too much. But it's a good thing he doesn't know, otherwise he would be so heartbroken and would probably scold you a lot." She knew this all too well. She had accidentally ended up in the hospital, and from the day she was admitted, Lu Zhitu hadn't forgotten to scold her every single day. She was so tired of hearing it.
Chi Xuecan smiled at Yan Zuozuo, and after a while, Chi Xuecan said, "Zuozuo, I've already sent someone to monitor him, so don't worry. As for how to handle this matter, we can discuss it slowly. The most important thing for you right now is to recover your health. Don't worry about the company's affairs; with Yuanfei around, nothing will happen."
Yan Zuozuo nodded: "Cancan, I've caused you trouble again."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Chi Xuecan glared at her, then turned to look at Chi Ran and Shang Xiaoguo. "None of you should tell anyone about Zuo Zuo's hospitalization. If you have time, come to the hospital and keep her company."
Shang Xiaoguo immediately nodded: "I have time. I can stay with Sister Yan at the hospital."
"No, Guoguo, you're pregnant. Don't come to the hospital so often. Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to be responsible for the baby in your belly," Yan Zuozuo said seriously.
Shang Xiaoguo pouted: "But I want to stay with Sister Yan."
Yan Zuozuo smiled and said, "I don't need you to accompany me. The most important thing is to give me a little nephew as soon as possible."
Shang Xiaoguo smiled shyly and touched her round belly.
“It’s alright, I’m not busy with work right now, so leave the taking care of your sister-in-law to me,” Chi Ran said.
Chi Xuecan nodded: "It's not impossible, but it's best not to mention it to your mother. By the way, have Zhitu find a few bodyguards to guard the ward entrance. No unauthorized personnel are allowed to enter!"
Chi Ran was taken aback, looking at Chi Xuecan with some confusion. Yan Zuozuo was only hospitalized for a stomach ailment, why did she need bodyguards? This matter was probably not as simple as it seemed on the surface. But she didn't ask further; they would tell her when the time was right.
"I understand. By the way, sister-in-law, just tell me what you want to eat, and I'll have the restaurant deliver it. I guarantee it's green and healthy."
"No need to go to so much trouble, the food at the hospital is fine. You all go about your business, I'm really fine."
"What trouble? You're my sister-in-law, family. It's only right that I take care of you. If you don't want my brother to come back and skin me alive, then don't hold back with me," Chi Ran said cheerfully.
"Me too, me too, don't be shy with me either." Shang Xiaoguo quickly chimed in, raising her hand to speak. "Although I can't cook, the maids at home can, Sister Yan, don't be shy with me either."
Chi Ran found it amusing and reached out to pinch Shang Xiaoguo, saying, "You should just stay home and be a pregnant woman."
Shang Xiaoguo retorted, hands on her hips, "So what if I'm pregnant? Are you discriminating against pregnant women?"
Chi Ran choked. She shouldn't say things like that so casually. What if she got beaten up by the pregnant woman?
Seeing the two little ones arguing so fiercely, Chi Xuecan shook her head. "You two stop arguing. Whoever has time can come and check on them. But Guoguo, you're pregnant, so it's best to come to the hospital less often, okay?"
Shang Xiaoguo pouted, sat to one side, picked up an orange and said, "I'll peel an orange for Sister Yan."
Chi Ran breathed a sigh of relief. Arguing with such an adorable little girl was truly beyond her capabilities. "Then I'll contact Zhi Tu and have him arrange for someone to come over right now."
Chi Xuecan nodded, then turned to Yan Zuozuo and said, "Zuozuo, move in with me after you're discharged from the hospital. I'm worried about you living alone."
Yan Zuozuo was stunned for a moment: "Cancan, I can take care of myself, so don't worry about me."
"How can I not worry? Besides, Hohen has gone back to Germany. I'm lonely living alone. With you by my side, I'll have some company."
Yan Zuozuo thought for a moment and said, "I'm already very busy with work, and I'm a patient now, so I have to be careful about what I eat. I'll cause you trouble if I do."
"What trouble are you talking about? I'm not young anymore, and my diet is naturally bland. I'd be happy to have you eat this terrible food with me. What's that saying? It's better to have someone to share your bad luck with, that makes you feel better, hahaha." Chi Xuecan laughed. "Besides, I pay the chef so much money, if you don't make good use of them, we'll be at a loss."
Chi Xuecan spoke with great enthusiasm, and Yan Zuozuo couldn't refuse, so she could only say, "Let's see after I'm discharged from the hospital."
"No rush, focus on getting better first," Chi Xuecan said with a smile.
Not long after, Chi Ran returned, followed by several bodyguards in black suits, each tall and imposing, exuding an air of authority. In Chi Ran's words, they were also quick-witted.
Yan Zuozuo was a little embarrassed: "I'm so sorry that you've gone to so much trouble while I was in the hospital."
“What are you saying, sister-in-law? My brother isn’t here, so protecting you is our responsibility. That way, I can ask my brother for money with a clear conscience next time, right? Hahaha.”
"..." Yan Zuozuo's lips twitched.
As a result, Yan Zuozuo began to live a life of special protection, with several people taking care of all her needs, including food, clothing, and shelter, until she was discharged from the hospital. Her treatment was comparable to that of a national treasure.
After leaving the hospital, she originally intended to go home, but Chi Xuecan insisted on taking her there, so she had no choice but to stay at Chi Xuecan's house. Chi Xuecan even provided a nutritionist to help Yan Zuozuo improve her health.
Yan Zuozuo thought that this was good, so that she wouldn't have to go through so much trouble to have a child with Chi Moqing in the future.
Chi Xuecan led Yan Zuozuo to the room: "Take a look and see if anything is missing. Tell me and I'll have someone get it. If there's anything you don't like, we'll change it right away."
Yan Zuozuo quickly shook her head: "It's already very good, Cancan. Please don't be polite with me. It's already troublesome enough for you. You still have to accommodate me."
Chi Xuecan chuckled: "I should be the one saying that, so don't be so polite with me. From now on, when I chat with you, it's because you don't think I'm a bother."
Yan Zuozuo felt a warmth in her heart and smiled at Chi Xuecan.
In Stephen's villa, he was frowning. His purpose in coming to the country was to avenge his godfather, but it was obvious that Yi Fanxi's purpose was to protect Yan Zuozuo, which was really a headache.
He took a sip of his drink, feeling very agitated.
Just then, the phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID, his heart tightened, and he quickly pressed the answer button. "Godfather."
"Hmm, how have things been going on your end lately?" A weary, aged voice came from the other end of the phone. This was quite different from the sprightly old man Stephen remembered. Had something happened?
“Everything is fine,” Stephen said respectfully.
The old man on the other end of the phone paused for a moment: "I heard that you and Fan hope had a disagreement about Yan Zuozuo's matter."
Stephen narrowed his eyes, not understanding why the leader would bring up Yan Zuozuo at this time. After a pause, he said, "Yes, the young master seems to like Yan Zuozuo very much."
The person on the other end of the phone looked somewhat serious: "Does that woman like Fan hope?"
"They're probably just colleagues. Yan Zuozuo is very fond of Chi Moqing," Stephen said honestly. "I wonder what your godfather's plans are?"
"I have a plan. Listen to me carefully. If Yan Zuozuo likes my son, you should help them get together as soon as possible; if he doesn't, then kill him!" The old leader spoke ruthlessly and solemnly, which made Stephen's heart tremble.
He knew very well the capabilities of this Mafia leader; he would never have said such a thing unless something serious had happened.
But, killing Yan Zuozuo...
Besides finding the matter troublesome, Stephen was also baffled by the old leader's intentions. Killing someone was simple, but Yan Zuozuo's identity was special; what would happen afterward if he killed her?
"We've encountered a major crisis here, and this matter must be resolved within ten days. Success is the only option; failure is not an option!" the old leader warned, enunciating each word clearly. "If you fail, you will die!"
Stephen's heart skipped a beat, and his expression turned serious. He knew very well that if the old leader wanted him dead, even if he had a thousand ways to escape, he would still be caught and killed.
Ten days, which means he only has ten days left to live!
In Chi Xuecan's office, Meng Yuanfei stood opposite her. After finishing his work report, he still hadn't left. Chi Xuecan glanced at him. "What do you want to say? The Meng Yuanfei I know isn't the type to beat around the bush."
"I want to know why you chose Yan Zuozuo," Meng Yuanfei asked directly.
Chi Xuecan smiled and said, "You finally asked. I was wondering how long you could wait."
Meng Yuanfei remained silent. From the moment he first met Yan Zuozuo, he had felt something was amiss. Chi Xuecan seemed to have an excessive fondness for Yan Zuozuo, and he didn't believe that the reason was merely due to their kinship; there must be other reasons he was unaware of.
"I chose Zuo Zuo for two reasons, one is public and the other is private. Putting public matters aside for now, I have to admit that I was more selfish." Chi Xuecan gestured for Meng Yuanfei to sit down. "Back then, my sister-in-law, who is Yan Zuo Zuo's mother-in-law, almost broke up my husband and me for her own selfish reasons. I have always held a grudge against that woman, but I have been enduring it for the sake of my brother's happiness."
"After twenty years, I've finally found a chance to get back at her. She doesn't like Zuo Zuo and makes things difficult for her at every turn. I can take this opportunity to support Zuo Zuo and make her unhappy. Yes, I am that petty. For twenty years, I've been far away from home for my brother's happiness. There's no reason for me not to take advantage of this opportunity."
“Maybe this isn’t a good thing for Zuo Zuo, but I believe in my nephew, and I believe Xiao Qingzi will protect her.” Chi Xuecan took a sip of coffee and said with a smile, “That woman made my life difficult before, but I can use Zuo Zuo to control her and make her life difficult for the rest of her days.” She smiled, a sly glint in her eyes.
Meng Yuanfei declined to comment on this reason. After a pause, he asked, "What's the other reason?"
