Adopting/Raising The Male Lead and The Villain

129

Assistant Zhao turned and looked coldly at Xu Yunhui as he spoke, "Madam, please wait here."

The bodyguards were still waiting nearby. Having heard Assistant Zhao's words, one of the bodyguards walked over. "Madam, please take a rest at the seat and take care."

They all have been telling her to take care of herself, but for some reason, Xu Yunhui didn't feel any genuine emotions behind the words. She even felt a chill, a chill that went to her chest then spread through all of her limbs.

"I am alright. What are we going to do with Master's funeral matters?" asked Xu Yunhui again.

Now that Zhong Chi was gone, there was no more need to pretend to be tolerant. She might as well just be open about her intentions. The timing of it all was only too important. If she missed her window, it might very well mess up her plans that follow.

Assistant Zhao said in a low voice, "Madam, Miss and our upper management will take care of that."

"Huanhuan is still so young. She might not be able to handle it." Xu Yunhui started to get a little anxious.

She thought she had been very thorough in what she had done. The family doctor from before had run away. Nobody would suspect her. After all, she had always been so docile with Zhong Chi... but now, what was going on?

Why did Assistant Zhao look like he was trying to exclude her?

Xu Yunhui's heart dropped again.

Assistant Zhao said, "Miss had been living independently overseas for years, of course she could handle this."

Xu Yunhui's face froze."What I meant to say was, Huanhuan is still young. We need to take good care of Master's affairs. Yushan and I should help as well..."

"You should get some rest. Miss is the only legal heir. She is the one who should be handling the affairs."

Xu Yunhui paused for a little and then asked, "What did you just say?"

Xu Yushan changed colors, "What the hell are you talking about? Aren't Xu Xing and I dad's kids too? What do you mean by she's the only rightful heir?"

Xu Yunhui started to panic a little by now as well. Trying to feign calmness, she said, "Even though Master never officially recognized the kids, I was married to him. A DNA will also show that they are related..."

Assistant Zhao didn't care about any of those things. He just turned to Zhong Yuhuan and said, "Miss, why don't you go to take care of Boss Zhong's affairs first."

Zhong Yuhuan nodded and never looked again at Xu Yunhui mother and daughter.

They would never know that they were never at the same level as Zhong Yuhuan from the very beginning. Xu Yunhui and Xu Yunhui had been treading on thin ice and only knew to use plots and manipulation to get what they wanted. Xu Yunhui didn't know how to raise Xu Yushan properly and definitely not Xu Xing. She thought that once Zhong Yuhuan went overseas, they had won the battle. What they didn't know was that the ball had always been in Zhong Yuhuan's court even when she was overseas.

Zhong Yuhuan didn't even bother wasting her time in volleying with them. By then time she came back as a well-trained and well-educated individual, they no longer even stood a chance against her.

That was the difference of being from different socioeconomic levels and having the ability to see the big picture.

Zhong Yuhuan took a few steps forward before she turned around and said gently to Li Jinyuan and Huo Chengming, "Wait for me."

Huo Chengming, "Okay."

Li Jinyuan, "You go, Huanhuan."

Both of them felt complicated emotions within them.

Zhong Yuhuan had always been a bright and shiny star to them.

Under that fragile and overly pretty look, there was a strong and determined heart. She had always been a step ahead of them. Even at times like this, she was handling everything with ease. How could anyone not fall for her?

Xu Yunhui and Xu Yunhui could only look on as Zhong Yuhuan walked further and further away. Their hearts were racing and they even felt difficulty breathing.

What was going on?

Xu Yunhui sensed that Zhong Yuhuan's stance was high and mighty.

She never even looked at them as her equals...

She felt unreconciled.

She had spent so many years planning for this moment...

Xu Yunhui gritted her teeth.
