There were three unfamiliar Mercedes-Benz S600 parked in front of the house. It was obvious that they were not ordinary guests.
Standing beside the cars were burly bodyguards in black suits and sunglasses. When they saw Yang Cheng and the others, they bowed politely.
Yang Cheng looked at the faces of these people. They did not seem to be from Hua Xia. He asked in Korean, "Korean?"
One of the bodyguards nodded. "Mr. Yang, it's been a while."
Yang Cheng then remembered that these people were from the Starmoon Group who came to look for Zhenxiu last time.
Sure enough, the door opened and out came a figure whom he had only met once.
Park Jonghyun was as elegant as ever. He was dressed in a black casual suit, a white shirt, and an exquisite black bow tie. His hair was glossy and shiny.
"Mr. Yang, General Lin, I heard that you were coming back this morning. Just in time."
Yang Cheng stepped forward and shook hands with this "gigolo". Lin Ruoxi nodded out of habit.
"Mr. Park, are you here to look for Zhenxiu?" Yang Cheng asked with a raised brow.
Park Jonghyun nodded with a bitter smile. "Grandpa is at the end of his rope. I'm here on his orders to try my best to bring my cousin back to Korea to see him one last time."
"President Park Cheon … is his illness still not getting better?" Lin Ruoxi asked with a hint of regret.
As a businesswoman, Lin Ruoxi was well aware of Park Cheon's status as the founder of the Starmoon Group in Asia. This old man who was one of the top ten wealthiest people in Asia was worthy of respect.
Park Jonghyun sighed. "Grandpa has liver cancer. It's in the late stage and the cancer cells have spread. If it weren't for the large amount of money spent on maintaining his health, he would have collapsed a few months ago."
Guo Xuehua said, "It sounds so sad, but let's go inside and talk."
With this reminder, everyone returned to the living room.
Mother Wang and Zhenxiu were sitting on the sofa in the living room. Zhenxiu's face was pale. When she saw Yang Cheng and the others, she forced a smile. "Brother Yang, Sister Ruoxi, Aunt Guo, you're back."
"Oh, Zhenxiu, are you alright?" Guo Xuehua asked nervously.
Zhenxiu shook her head with a smile. "I'm fine."
Mother Wang smiled bitterly and said, "How could you say you're fine? You look so pale."
"You don't want Lanlan to see what's happening here. I asked Minjuan to bring Lanlan out for a walk."
Mother Wang replied, "It's better not to let Lanlan know about this so I asked Minjuan to bring Lanlan out for a walk."
Lin Ruoxi nodded in understanding. As long as Lanlan's grandfather did not take her away, everything would be fine.
After everyone was seated, Park Jonghyun said, "Zhenxiu cousin, I know this is difficult for you, and you might not be happy about it, but I'm here today because I really hope that you can come back to Korea with me.
Starmoon Group needs you, the family needs you, and Grandpa needs you even more … If you're willing to go back, I believe Grandpa will agree to anything. "
Zhenxiu was silent. Between the hatred of her parents and the call of her family, the girl who had just entered university did not know how to choose.
Park Jonghyun said helplessly, "I know I can't convince you. Maybe Grandpa did something that you can't let go of, but this is my last request.
Before I came, Grandpa recorded a video when he was still conscious. I brought it here for you to watch. "
As he spoke, Park Jonghyun stood up and retrieved a disc from his underling. He walked to the television in the living room and inserted it into the projector.
No one said a word as they waited for the image to appear.
Not long after, an old man lying on a sickbed appeared on the television screen. His face was as pale as wax paper. From the edges and corners of his face, one could see the shadow of his former self.
The voice of the dying old man was trembling slightly, but it was barely audible …
"Child, Zhenxiu … I'm your grandfather, Park Cheon … I know I've let you down, I've let your father and mother down … But please believe me, the pain of losing your mother, my most beloved daughter, has been tormenting me day and night.
For the past twenty years, I've regretted it countless times and made countless wrong judgments … I don't have the chance to hesitate anymore. This must be God's punishment for me …
"But I can't erase the guilt I feel for you. I know you've had a hard time in Hua Xia. Can I beg you, please come back and see me …
Starmoon Group was your mother's to begin with. I want to hand it over to you. Zhenxiu … please forgive me … "
The old man's tears flowed down his cheeks as he spoke.
Although they were speaking in Korean, Zhenxiu had been influenced by her mother when she was young. Although she couldn't speak fluently, she could still understand.
At that moment, Zhenxiu's eyes were red. She was unable to shed tears due to her heartache but she kept sobbing.
Lin Ruoxi gripped Yang Cheng's arm tightly and whispered, "Aren't you very powerful and can recover quickly? Can't you think of a way to save Mr. Park Cheon?"
Yang Cheng smiled bitterly. "If it's poisoning or something like that, there's a way. But it's a cancerous lesion and it's in the late stage. It's a deterioration of the human tissues. I can only remove some things but I can't just erase a person's organs just to get rid of something, right?"
Lin Ruoxi didn't quite understand either. Looking at Zhenxiu's pained expression, her heart ached even more. "Then … then what should we do? Right, isn't there Miss Jane?! Miss Jane is so powerful, her medical skills must be superb too! "
Yang Cheng sighed. "Jane does have great medical skills but she's no god. If it was in the early stage or the middle stage, Jane might be able to complete the difficult surgery. But it was already in the late stage when she discovered it. No one in the world can cure late-stage liver cancer.
If Jane could cure such a disease, she would have announced the method a long time ago. After all, it's for the benefit of all mankind. If that's the case, would there still be people dying of cancer in the world? "
"I know … but … but Zhenxiu …" Lin Ruoxi's eyes reddened as she looked at Zhenxiu.
Yang Cheng took a deep breath and sat beside Zhenxiu. He hugged Zhenxiu's trembling shoulders.
Zhenxiu couldn't hold it in any longer. She leaned her head against Yang Cheng's chest and burst into tears.
The entire hall fell into deep sorrow. Mother Wang and Guo Xuehua wiped their tears. After all, Zhenxiu was like their daughter.
When Zhenxiu calmed down a little, Yang Cheng patted the girl's back. "If you're sad, then go back to Korea. No matter what happens in the future, at least we have to see each other one last time."
Zhenxiu looked up with tears in her eyes. "I'm sorry … Brother Yang."
"Why are you sorry?"
"You and Sister Ruoxi have helped me so much. You let me go to school and get into university. But I have to leave so soon …"
Yang Cheng smiled. "Silly girl, it's fate that we met. It's all for you. Go back to Korea and be the heir of Starmoon Group. It's much better than going to university."
Park Jonghyun was overjoyed when he heard this. "Cousin! You … You really want to go back?! That's great! Grandpa can finally Anxin! "
Zhenxiu smiled faintly at Park Jonghyun. "That's all I can do, but there's no way I can inherit Starmoon Group …"
"You don't have to worry about that. As long as you're willing to return to Korea, we'll hire the best teachers in the world to strengthen your studies and training. I believe with your intelligence and the outstanding bloodline of the Park family, it'll be easy for you to take over the group!" Park Jonghyun said excitedly.
Zhenxiu looked at Park Jonghyun's passionate eyes and subconsciously shrank back.
Yang Cheng clicked his tongue and glared at Park Jonghyun. "What are you so excited about? You scared Zhenxiu so much that she won't go back with you."
Park Jonghyun scratched his head in embarrassment. "I'm really sorry. Cousin is too important to us …"
Yang Cheng felt that something was wrong. But he couldn't figure it out. He could only say, "If I find out that you guys bullied Zhenxiu in Korea, I won't let you have a good life. Do you understand?"
Park Jonghyun was taken aback. It was a clear threat, but he had a good heart. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Yang. We won't let cousin suffer. She's the heir of the Park family."
