Chapter 299: Emergency Situation

Of course, Chu Yuyan and the matriarch of the Chu Family are unaware of this.

"Grandmother, I really can't wait for them to act like arrogant prick just when Grandfather arrives." Chu Yuyan smiled. The only reason they were able to do this is that Patriarch Chu and his favorite twins, Chu Nan and Chu Munan had to leave for a while for a very important meeting.

The timing was just too perfect. Once they come back, Chu Yuyan was certain that Lyca and Shen Qui's patience already ran out, making the two-act against the people in this place. Lyca, that woman is arrogant and forceful. How could she endure being treated like this by the Chu Family?

Chu Yuyan was expecting Lyca to disturb their dinner and maybe even cause create some troubles for them. By then, the Old Matriarch would surely call her husband and tell them about the disturbance. Doing this would surely earn the ire of the Old Patriarch. It would also highlight Lyca and Shen Qui's arrogant behavior.

"Hmph! Even if your grandfather already agreed with the elder, I still consider you as my granddaughter. No matter what, you are from the Chu Family. Always remember this, no one can bully our Chu Family!"

"But grandma…" Chu Yuyan pouted. "What about the elders? If they discover that we treated her like this, they would surely — "

"This child, I am the matriarch of the Chu Family! So what if I treat them like this? What can they do about it? Are they going to punish me? Can they really punish the matriarch? Hmph! Moreover, your grandfather pampers me a lot! If I tell your grandfather that they disrespected me the moment they arrived, he would surely believe my words."

"What about the deal that Chu Munan said?"

"I don't care about any deals! Our Chu Family is the richest in the continent! Did you really think they are the only ones who offered a deal with our family? Yuyan… let me tell you this… We are rich! People bow down to gain our favors. There is no need to bow down to other people lower than us. With our money, we can rule this country. However, our Chu Family's interest doesn't involve politics at all. This is the only reason why we didn't get involved in any power struggle in the Capital. Do you understand me now?"

"Yes, grandmother."

"Good. Good. Aiya… why don't you tell me about your mother? Is she recovering well? How about the current status of the Chu Family? Don't worry about the problem… I will convince your grandfather that cutting you and your mother off is not right. We are still relatives and I was the person you named you when you were born! How could we let some small business transactions ruin our relationship?"

"Grandmother is really wise. Yes, my mother is recovering well. Of course, our Chu Family in Kong City suffered because of the declaration. However, with grandmother's help, I am certain that we can recover soon." Chu Yuyan smiled. The only reason why she dared come here is because of her grandmother.

Growing up, Chu Yuyan was the only person in the side branch of the family who easily got close with the main branch because this woman liked her. Aside from naming Chu Yuyan, Matriarch Chu also asked her to visit when she was a child. "Ah, grandmother let me introduce you, my good friend. Jessica Dongfang. She is the daughter of the late mayor in Kong City. Her father just passed, so I brought her here to tour her around the place. She had been really sad about her father's passing and…" Chu Yuyan started talking to her grandmother about Jessica and soon, the three women started gossiping about the events in Kong City.

"Truly?" Matriarch Chu couldn't help but widened her eyes when she heard the rest of Chu Yuyan's words. "They are murderers? Then why did your grandfather allow them to come here? They even murdered the mayor! How could they— "

"Grandmother… please don't get mad. The only reason why I told you this is because I want Jessica to act as a witness to the Elders. I think you should carefully consider this partnership. I heard that they can offer some weapons? With all due respect grandmother, our Chu Family is rich. You even said it, we don't need to lower our heads because we have the money. How could we lower our heads and create some partnerships with murderers and ruthless people like them?" Chu Yuyan's face was extremely sincere as she held her grandmother's hands. "Grandmother, although Grandfather and the elders already left us to fend for ourselves in Kong City, I am still concerned about this partnership. I don't want you to get fooled by these people! I don't want our Chu Family to suffer from their hands!"

"This person— "

The hurried footsteps of the butler interrupted the conversation.

"Madam… Madam… some emergency personnel were outside asking to save someone who fainted. They said that Miss Xi fainted and they are here to bring her to the hospital."

"What?" Matriarch Chu immediately stood. "Bring me to see these people! Don't let them in, yet!" Despite her age, the current matriarch was still active and very fit because of exercise. Therefore, walking from the house towards the gate only took them a few minutes.

"Madam, we are here to take Miss Xi to the hospital. Please let us in. This is an emergency!"

"Who do you think you are? Speaking to my grandmother like that!?" Chu Yuyan immediately said. However, she was ignored by the personnel.

"We are here to answer an emergency. Please let us in."

"Are you certain that someone called you?" Matriarch Chu said. "How come we didn't even know that she fainted?" Of course, the old matriarch was extremely suspicious about this matter. Was this an evil plot? However, before the person could answer, a group of people arrived, attracting everyone's attention. Seeing that it was her husband and his bodyguards, Matriarch Chu immediately turned soft.

"Husband! It's good that you are here! Come… let's come inside."

"What is going on here?" The man furrowed his brows.

"Sir, Mr. Shen called us and informed us that his wife fainted. We are only here to give assistance."

"Fainted? Then why are you still here talking? Go inside!" The Old Patriarch didn't wait for his wife to react as he marched towards the house. "Anthony, lead them to the VIP room."

"This…"

"What are you doing? Why aren't you moving?"

"Patriarch… Miss Chu Yuyan and her friend are occupying the VIP room and… the — " For a few seconds, Anthony hesitated. "Mr. And Mrs. Chen was in the guest house on the other side of the mansion." Seeing the Patriarch's face turned dark, Anthony immediately knelled, face paling. "Patriarch, I am only following the Matriarch's instructions. Please forgive me!"

"Husband… this…."

"Madam, Sir please forgive me. But we are here because of an emergency. Please lead us to the room."

"Munan! Go and call our family doctor! Chu Nan! Lead them to the room. Have them examine Miss Xi and tell them not to worry, our family doctor is coming! I am sure she is only exhausted!" Then he turned his gaze towards his wife. "You! Follow me!"
