Even the tycoons of wealthy families kneel down; the real heiress is the matriarch.
Chapter 88 Fate Uncertain
Seeing that everyone was trying to help him relax, Cheng Yizhou simply stood up.
"You don't need to worry about me so much. I don't have many other strengths, except for my good attitude."
"Whether I get in or not, I'm happy."
"Of course, it would be best if I could get in, but if I don't, I'll definitely try again next year."
"So everyone really doesn't need to be so nervous, I don't care too much about the result."
Upon hearing Cheng Yizhou's words, Cheng Sihai burst into laughter.
"He's got a bit of my old style back then!"
"Back then?"
"Yes, I didn't get into the research institute the first time I took the exam, but I wasn't afraid of failure, so I took the exam again and again... and finally I got in."
Although it's just a junior clerk recording various data, at least I passed the exam and got the job, right?
"Back then, I thought that failing the exam this time was God's way of tempering my character. The second time, I felt even more that I was extraordinary. How much effort must God have put into me, deliberately arranging for me to fail again and again..."
Cheng Yizhou was stunned.
"So this is how failure can be understood."
"So, my grandson, you have a long way to go! Learn a lot!"
Cheng Yizhou shook his head repeatedly: "Forget it, I'm not going to learn from you anymore. One failure is enough for me."
"You brat..."
The grandfather and grandson started playing around.
Bai Su also took the opportunity to ask Fu Qiyu, "You participated in the competition too, how did it go?"
"I should be able to get full marks."
Bai Su was not surprised at all.
"If you can't get a perfect score, it means this exam was really difficult."
Cheng Yizhou overheard their conversation.
He held his head in his hands.
"Heavens above! Why did I have to be in the same year as two 'freaks'? Why did fate create both Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang?!"
"You overestimate yourself. How can you compare to Zhou Yu?" Cheng Sihai retorted without any politeness.
Cheng Yizhou snorted: "Grandpa, why are you siding with outsiders? I'm your own grandson."
"But they are my master and my team leader."
"..."
Well, he overestimated himself.
……
Meanwhile, the Cheng Group.
An employee rushed into the office.
"Mr. Cheng, I'm sorry, my son is having an Olympiad math competition today, and I'm responsible for picking him up and dropping him off, so the project proposal you asked me to prepare... I just finished it now."
He carefully handed over the project proposal, afraid that Cheng Wuyan would get angry—Cheng Wuyan was not only a strict father at home, but also a stern boss at the company.
Fortunately, Cheng Wuyan didn't seem angry. After taking the project proposal and confirming that there were no problems, he asked, "The math Olympiad you mentioned, is it the one organized by Imperial University?"
"Yes, Chairman Cheng."
As the man spoke, he suddenly remembered that not long ago, his boss had asked him for relevant study materials because his wife was a professional math Olympiad teacher.
After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "Is your son... also taking an exam today?"
He remembered that Cheng Wuyan's son also had excellent academic performance and was studying at the Imperial Academy.
Of all those schools, Imperial High School has the most spots available for the competition, so there's bound to be one for the boss's son.
However, Cheng Wuyan changed the subject: "Your project proposal is quite good, but there's one area that needs improvement. I'll have my secretary send the revisions to your email in a bit."
"Yes..." The man left quickly.
With mixed feelings, Cheng Wuyan walked to the window.
He hadn't thought about Cheng Dong for several days until an employee mentioned the math Olympiad.
Cheng Dong did indeed have a spot in this year's math Olympiad.
But now he's in a juvenile detention center...
In fact, if Cheng Dong studies hard and doesn't have any other messy ideas, he really intends to groom him as his successor.
It wasn't out of favoritism, but because Cheng Dong was indeed more outstanding than his biological son.
My own son is too unreliable, has a bad temper, and is prone to impulsiveness; he's not suitable to take over his position...
Although he seems to have developed some enthusiasm for learning recently, he is still far behind Cheng Dong.
But it's too late to say all this now.
Having witnessed the true colors of Cheng Dong and his mother, he knew he could never bring either of them back.
But I still felt a slight sense of regret.
Cheng Wuyan was lost in thought for a while before turning around and going to his desk to press the intercom.
"Contact the juvenile detention center; I need to go there soon."
"Yes……"
"By the way, could you please check when I'm available these next couple of days?"
"You have no plans for Friday afternoon."
"Then let's arrange to go to the juvenile detention center on Friday afternoon."
He was going to visit Cheng Dong.
This was... the last time we saw each other.
The separation that day was too sudden and too fast; there were some things he hadn't had a chance to say.
Of course, I also wanted to see if Cheng Dong had changed at all recently.
If he has truly repented, then once he is released from the juvenile detention center, he can be given a job that will allow him to make a living, so that he won't be unable to afford food.
The next day, Fu Qiyu, as usual, first took Bai Su and Cheng Yizhou to No. 3 Middle School before returning to his own school.
When I got off the bus, I ran into Ye Yixue.
Normally, Ye Yixue would have been unable to resist coming up to say a few words when she saw him, but today, she only glanced at him with a very indifferent expression before walking ahead indifferently.
Fu Qiyu frowned slightly.
For some reason, he had a very bad feeling...
This feeling made him feel inexplicably uneasy.
After standing there for a moment, Fu Qiyu dialed the butler's number: "Help me check if anything happened at the Ye family yesterday."
"Yes, young master."
……
Friday arrived in the blink of an eye, the day when the results of the math Olympiad were announced.
Cheng Yizhou didn't sleep well last night.
Although he didn't care much about the results, he still couldn't help but feel nervous and his palms were sweating when the day came to announce them.
Even breakfast tasted bland; he would only take a couple of bites before putting down his chopsticks.
Bai Su laughed and said, "Didn't you say you had a good attitude?"
"Even with a good mindset, you can still get nervous..."
Bai Su stopped laughing at him and simply asked, "What time will the results be announced?"
"Two o'clock in the afternoon."
"It's still early. Do you want to take the morning off? I'll take you for a walk to help you relax."
"Is it okay? Won't it interfere with your studies?"
Bai Su shrugged: "No, I've almost finished reviewing, so the college entrance exam shouldn't be a problem."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Yizhou immediately agreed.
"Where do you want to go?" Bai Su asked.
"I want to go horseback riding. Last time I only watched you race against others, but you've never raced against me before."
"Are you sure you want to compete with me?"
"I didn't perform well last time..."
"Alright! Let's go to the horse farm we went to last time."
After making the decision, Bai Su asked Teacher Chai for leave and also called Cheng Sihai to let him know. Then she took Cheng Yizhou to the horse farm.
The two didn't race their horses at first; they each ran their own races until Cheng Yizhou found his rhythm and then challenged Bai Su to a horse race.
Unfortunately, he couldn't beat Bai Su in three consecutive races.
"It must be the horse's fault!" He refused to admit that he had even lost a horse race and insisted on exchanging horses with Bai Su.
Bai Su said helplessly, "Alright, but this is the last time. If I lose again, I won't compete with you anymore."
"Okay, this is the last time."
Just as Cheng Yizhou was about to lead Bai Su's horse, the person in charge of the horse farm rushed over.
"Young Master Cheng, something terrible has happened! You need to go to the hospital right away. The old man called and said your father has suffered an abdominal injury and is being treated."
"boom--"
Cheng Yizhou seemed to have been struck by lightning, and in disbelief, he grabbed the collar of the person in charge of the horse farm.
"It's Friday, my dad should be at work. How could he be injured when he was perfectly fine?!"
"I don't know the specifics. The old man couldn't contact you, so he called me... He also asked Miss Bai Su to come along."
"My dad..."
"Yizhou! Now is not the time to ask these questions. Take me there right now." She then asked the horse farm manager, "Which hospital is he in?"
"Central Hospital, Emergency Room."
Bai Su immediately pulled Cheng Yizhou outside, not even having time to change out of her riding clothes, and rushed to the hospital with only her phone in hand.
Old Ding drove at breakneck speed, arriving at the Central Hospital in just fifteen minutes.
Cheng Sihai was already at the door of the emergency room.
His eyes were bloodshot, and Old Xu and a large group of police officers stood beside him.
"What happened to my dad?!" Cheng Yizhou rushed ahead of Bai Su and ran to Cheng Sihai in a few steps.
Cheng Sihai's voice choked with emotion, a mixture of worry and disappointment.
"He secretly went to the juvenile detention center to see Cheng Dong without telling me... I don't know what they talked about, but Cheng Dong suddenly went crazy, grabbed a toothbrush hidden in his sleeve, and stabbed your dad in the stomach..."
Bai Su also came over and happened to hear what was said.
"How could a toothbrush pierce through someone's stomach?"
"He used something to sharpen the toothbrush handle..."
Bai Su said coldly, "Then this isn't a crime of passion, but a premeditated crime."
These two are very different and are judged differently in court.
"Master... Bai Su, you must save Wu Yan! You are proficient in both traditional Chinese and Western medicine, you must save him..."
Bai Su nodded: "I will."
At the hospital, Cheng Sihai had already made arrangements and contacted the hospital director so that Bai Su could enter the operating room as soon as she arrived.
Bai Su took off her riding clothes, put on a white coat, and quickly entered the emergency room after disinfection.
The doctors inside are performing emergency treatment.
Because they didn't recognize Bai Su, and because Bai Su was wearing a mask and their age couldn't be determined, they assumed she was a specialist from some hospital and gave up their surgery position to her.
Outside the operating room, Cheng Sihai and Cheng Yizhou paced anxiously back and forth...
Time ticked by, and three hours had passed. The lights in the emergency room were still on, displaying the words "Operation in Progress."
Unable to wait any longer, Cheng Yizhou suddenly walked up to the police.
"Where is Cheng Dong? I'm going to kill him!"
Cheng Sihai walked over in a few steps and grabbed Cheng Yizhou's arm.
"Calm down! With Bai Su inside, your dad will be fine."
"Can……"
Before she could finish speaking, the operating room lights went out, and Bai Su walked out.
