Chapter 229 - 229: “You’re Sick, You Should Leave.”
Gu Chu:
"Tsk.
"
Song Chen's very daughter is currently lying underneath the table listening to your whole conversation, and yet you have the audacity to make all that up?
You have a terminal illness and don't have a long life? Are you trying to fool a kid?
Cheng Qingyun played the emotional card very well. Grandfather Song knew his grandson well. He hadn't had many women around for many years, and recently, he had been having an ambiguous relationship with Lu Shanhe. It was really possible that the Song family would have no descendants...
The best way to prevent the Song family's assets from falling into the hands of outsiders was to quickly give birth to an heir. The most suitable person to give birth to an heir seemed to be Song Chen's only fiancée, Cheng Qingyun.
"So, you want to marry my grandson?
" Grandfather went straight to the point.
Cheng Qingyun's tears flowed freely, and she shook her head weakly. Her face was pale.
"It doesn't matter whether I get married or not. As long as I can have his child and leave the Song family's bloodline, that's my wish.
"
Grandfather Song looked deeply at Cheng Qingyun. He drank his tea and did not reply.
He was not an old fool. Of course, he could see through the thoughts of this young woman.
She spoke in a dignified manner. Her goal was nothing more than to permanently involve herself with the Song family.
If it was in the past, Grandfather Song would still be one who prioritized profits. He would definitely consider Cheng Qingyun's suggestion. But now, as he grew older and his children passed away, his attitude gradually changed.
He did not like Cheng Qingyun who was full of plots and schemes. This girl did not speak the truth. She was eloquent and had a deep mind. He did not know why Song Chen, this bastard, would choose her to get engaged.
If Cheng Qingyun really entered the Song family, Grandfather Song had a feeling that the Song family would be completely destroyed by this woman.
"You said that you have a terminal illness?
" Elder Song sipped his tea slowly.
"What illness? Technology is very advanced these days.
"
Cheng Qingyun was secretly delighted. Grandpa Song did not directly reject her. It seemed that she still had a chance. Cheng Qingyun wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. Her pale little face wanted to say something, but she hesitated. After a long while, she said,
"Congenital heart disease. It has become more and more serious in the past two years. The doctor said that the chances of it being cured are very slim.
"
Grandfather Song said,
"What a pitiful child. You don't have much time left.
"
His tone was filled with regret, and the corners of Cheng Qingyun's mouth could not help but curl up!
This stubborn old man had finally shown compassion!
That's great. As long as Grandfather Song secretly supported her, she would be able to get pregnant with Song Chen's child in no time. I would be able to join the Song family in no time! After she gave birth to the child, she would go to the United States and live there for two years. Then, she would lie and claim that the disease was cured.
Grandfather Song put down his teacup and said coldly,
"You can go. Our Song family doesn't need you.
"
The corners of Cheng Qingyun's mouth froze. ...
"Grandfather Song... You... You don't like me?
" Cheng Qingyun's eyes were red, and tears welled up uncontrollably.
"I don't have much time left... my only long-cherished wish is to be pregnant with Chen's child.
"
GrandfatherSong said indifferently,
"You have congenital heart disease. There is a 3% to 16% chance that it will be passed on to the next generation.
"
What he meant was, you should leave. Our song family doesn't need your help to continue the bloodline.
If the child is sick, wouldn't it be harming innocent lives?
Cheng Qingyun:
"...
"
Gu Chu, who was hiding under the table, secretly gave him a thumbs up. She admired his unique perspective.
In the original novel, Cheng Qingyun had been tying Song Chen up with her incurable disease. She would get sick at any time. In reality, this woman was not sick at all! She was only pretending to be sick to compete with the female lead, Gu Manxi, for the male lead!
If Gu Manxi was half as smart and cunning as Cheng Qingyun, she would not have been tricked into such a miserable ending.
