Chapter 299: Betrayed

Yi Juncheng’s eyes trembled slightly and he took her hand, holding it tightly.

After Sheng Yang was done talking, she collapsed again. She obviously hadn’t even heard the story. Maybe she was just dreaming.

However, Yi Juncheng took her words seriously. He didn’t care whether she meant them or not. He held her hand tightly then slowly clasped his fingers together.

Kang Weizhen watched this and couldn’t help but sigh.

These two were really fated to be together.

As soon as Sheng Yang woke up early the next morning, she found a cup of hangover tea by the bed. It was still warm but she had no idea when it was put here.

Beside the hangover tea was a note. It was Second Brother’s handwriting.

“Drink it as soon as you wake up. — Second Brother.”

Sheng Yang smiled. Only her gentle second brother would do this but hadn’t he drunk a lot last night too?

Sheng Yang gulped it all down, feeling refreshed.

After washing up, she picked up her school bag and went to school.

Yesterday was the business war, and today she was returning to school.

That night, at the Sheng family home.

News that Sheng Yang did well in the first round of the business war had spread throughout the family.

Grandfather Sheng looked at this message for a long time with his reading glasses on.

No matter what happened next, at least Sheng Yang beat Wen Zhiyi in the first round and restored some honor for the Sheng family.

Grandfather Sheng wondered if he had been wrong all along. He should view this granddaughter differently and treat her better.

In fact, apart from her bad temper, bad attitude, and bad treatment of him, she had many good traits as well.

However, Grandmother Sheng didn’t think so. She was short-sighted and stubborn.

“What? First place winner? Who knows what tricks she used?!

“She even beat Wen Zhiyi? Haha, is she really that capable?”

action “How could she be that brilliant?”

Grandfather Sheng glanced at Grandmother Sheng unhappily. Was she trying to make their family look bad?

Did she think the Sheng family couldn’t defeat the Wen family?

Grandmother Sheng didn’t notice the change in Grandfather Sheng’s expression and kept nagging.

At this time, Sheng An suddenly sat up straight on the sofa. “Grandma, don’t say that about Sister. She can do anything. She’s really good!”

Grandmother Sheng thought she had heard wrong because Sheng An usually called Sheng Yue by her name and never called her “Sister”. Why was he so suddenly so respectful to his cousin?

Seeing that her grandson was acting out of order, she said grumpily, “Did she give you some kind of drug?”

Grandfather Sheng frowned. “Is this how you talk about your granddaughter?”

“I don’t have such a granddaughter. Sheng Yue is my only granddaughter. I don’t have any other granddaughters! She’s just embarrassing!”

Sheng An suddenly stood up, put his hands on his waist, and threw a tantrum. “Grandma, you’re talking bad about my cousin. I’m ignoring you from now on! Hmph!”

With that, Sheng An left. Grandfather Sheng glanced at Grandmother Sheng angrily and left too.

Grandmother Sheng was left all alone, wondering who she had offended and how she ended up like this.

No matter how good Sheng Yang was, she was a mere granddaughter in the end. But everyone was now ignoring her over this granddaughter.

A few days later, something special happened.

As the results of this year’s business war were quite good, even exceeding last year’s results…
