"Lady Yuqi!" Auntie Wang continued to advocate for her cause, and Cheng Yuqi finally mustered the determination to send a few messages.
[Yi, are you there?]
[I heard that Grandpa is in the hospital. Let's go visit him together.]
[When are you available today? Can you come pick me up?]
"If not, I can have my driver take me to the hospital, so you don't have to trouble yourself."
[I'm really worried about Grandpa!]
On the second floor, Fang Yuan made her way to the spacious balcony, enjoying the view of the garden. As she observed her surroundings, she noticed two figures in the distance engaged in a discussion. Although she couldn't hear their conversation from that distance, it was evident that it involved Auntie Wang and Cheng Yuqi. Cheng Yuqi sat in a chair while Auntie Wang leaned in, seemingly trying to persuade her to say something.
Fang Yuan paid little attention to it and continued to admire the scenery before returning indoors.
In the garden, the two individuals anxiously stared at their phones, waiting for a response. Soon enough, Cheng Yuqi's heart skipped a beat as her screen lit up. She opened the message and saw that Bo Yi had finally replied! But his response consisted of only two cold words. [No need].
A chilling sensation coursed through Cheng Yuqi's heart, as if someone had poured a bucket of ice water over her.
Under Auntie Wang's provocation, Cheng Yuqi sent another message, expressing concern for her sick grandpa and hoping that someone would keep him company. She emphasized that her intentions were merely to show compassion on behalf of the Cheng Family. Cheng Yuqi anxiously awaited Bo Yi's reply, but none came. She knew deep down that he wouldn't respond.
Meanwhile, Fang Yuan sat on the sofa, her eyes fixed on her phone. She tapped the screen and sent a message to her subordinates.
[Help me investigate the cause of the fire that occurred on September 9th, 18 years ago at Sanhe Hospital.]
Blackie: [Boss, are you serious? Sanhe Hospital?]
Sanhe was situated on the border of three cities, and over the years, the place had vanished, making it challenging to gather any relevant information.
Blackie: [Boss, why are you looking into this? Is it connected to your family background?]
Fang Yuan: [Yes.]
Fang Yuan couldn't shake off the feeling that the fire was suspicious. Why did the hospital catch fire? According to her mother's account, it was a rainy night, and if it was an accidental ignition, the fire wouldn't have spread so rapidly, reducing the entire hospital to ashes. She strongly believed that someone had intentionally started the fire.
Blackie: [If I ever find out that someone deliberately caused the fire and made you suffer so much in the Fang Family, I will never forgive that person!]
After a while, Fang Yuan noted that it was time for her meeting with Tang Nan. She descended the stairs and informed her mother, "Mom, I need to go out for a while."
"Alright…" Qiao Xinhui had intended to inquire about her daughter's destination, whom she was meeting, and what she would be doing. However, she refrained from prying and instead smiled, "Let Old Liu drive you."
"Mom," Cheng Yuqi couldn't resist interjecting, "I just told Uncle Liu that he would be taking me out, and I have plans with my friends…"
Qiao Xinhui didn't show any signs of displeasure. "Can Old Li drive you instead?"
"Uncle Li usually takes afternoon naps. If he wakes up now, he might feel tired, and it wouldn't be safe for him to drive…" Cheng Yuqi glanced at Fang Yuan. "Sister, if you need anything, I can inform my friend. I'll let them arrange for Uncle Liu to accompany you."
"No need, I know how to drive." However, the Rolls-Royce had sustained damage and couldn't be repaired. After contemplating for a moment, Fang Yuan asked, "Are there any other cars at home?"
Qiao Xinhui was taken aback. "Yes, of course. I'll have the driver take you to the garage, and you can choose whichever one you want!"
Fang Yuan was quite surprised this time.
Qiao Xinhui pressed the intercom on the wall and directly contacted the driver. "Old Liu, please come and take Yuanyuan to the garage."
It was at that moment that Fang Yuan realized the grandeur of the garage—it had three floors filled with a variety of supercars, limited editions, high-end models, and an array of colors.
Fang Yuan was astounded by the opulence of the family and couldn't help but inquire, "What kind of business does the family engage in?"
Old Liu was taken aback by the question. He assumed that Fang Yuan would be aware of Cheng Ye's identity once she saw his face. After all, he was the wealthiest man in the country.
"Don't you know about this? Lady Fang Yuan?" Old Liu was surprised. "Old Master is the richest man in Hua Land. He held the top spot for 12 consecutive years!"
"After Old Master retired, Young Master took over the company, and subsequently became the richest man in the country." Regardless of who held the title, they were still part of the Cheng Family.
Fang Yuan finally understood. No wonder Fang Liguo and Song Ling had mentioned that her parents were unemployed.
Shortly after, a sleek sports car emerged from the Cheng Family estate. In order to maintain a low profile, Fang Yuan parked the car in a nearby underground garage where Tang Nan had been patiently waiting.
