Cheng Yuan might be fat and had some skills, but he was not the type of person who didn't have time. With three or four people surrounding him, he would definitely lose no matter how strong he was.
Unable to break free no matter what, Cheng Yuan flew into a rage out of embarrassment. "Cheng Feng, you dare to treat me like this. Have you forgotten what happened that year …"
Seeing that Cheng Yuan was going to mention what happened that year, Cheng Feng was shocked.
That year? What happened back then? Cheng Kui and Cheng Hu were at a loss.
Wang Mu, who had been feigning death in the middle of the hall, also quietly raised his head.
The Old Master took up the cup and smashed it on the ground. With a crisp 'bang', he interrupted Cheng Yuan's words.
Cheng Yuan snapped out of his rage and turned around, only to see his grandfather, who had always doted on him, staring at him angrily.
Panicking, he ran to Cheng Hui and kneeled on the ground. "Grandfather, Grandfather, don't be angry. I was wrong, I really was wrong. I shouldn't have mentioned what happened back then …"
"Shut up!" Cheng Hui was infuriated as he lifted his head to suppress his emotions.
Cheng Hui usually did not throw a tantrum, as he had never been this agitated in his life before. Cheng Kui and Cheng Hu looked at him with fear in their hearts. Cheng Kui gathered up his courage and asked, "Big Brother, what's wrong?"
Panting heavily, Cheng Hui waved his hands and said, "I'm tired. My two brothers, please go out."
Since Cheng Hui had spoken, the two of them did not dare to stay any longer. They looked at each other and walked out together.
After they had disappeared, Cheng Feng said to Wang Mu in the middle of the hall, "You can leave as well. I will tell Cheng Yu about what you did today."
Wang Mu was still silently thinking about what had happened in the past, and upon hearing Cheng Feng's words, he was immediately shocked and frightened. He wanted to beg Cheng Feng not to tell the Young Master about this, but he was well aware of his temper.
When Cheng Feng and Cheng Yuan were the only ones left in the room, Cheng Hui could no longer hold on and sat down on a chair. The wrinkles on his previously spirited face were now extremely eye-catching.
What happened that year was a taboo. He had been forcing himself to forget it all these years, and he had never allowed Cheng Feng and Cheng Yu to mention it.
His son, his poor Cheng Bao!
Dad, I'm so sorry!
Thinking of Cheng Bao, the Old Master's pair of eyes that had grown murkier with the passage of time began to fill with tears.
"Grandfather, Grandfather, don't be angry anymore. Yuan'er won't dare …" Cheng Yuan was not afraid of anyone in this family, but he was most afraid of Cheng Hui, because he knew that only Cheng Hui genuinely loved and protected him.
Thinking about Cheng Bao, Cheng Hui's heart softened. He used a pair of big hands full of age spots and pulled Cheng Yuan up. "Forget it, forget it. No matter what, you are not allowed to talk about what happened that year. Do you understand?"
Cheng Yuan nodded his head obediently and carefully glanced at the Old Master's face. Seeing that he was no longer angry, he complained, "The reason I made a slip of the tongue just now was because Cheng Feng wanted to send my grandson to the ancestral hall for suffering. You know that I am most afraid of heat."
Logically speaking, Cheng Feng was Cheng Bao's younger brother, so he was Cheng Yuan's uncle. However, Cheng Yuan addressed him by his full name, so Cheng Ye and Cheng Feng didn't feel that anything was amiss with him.
Old Master Cheng sighed and caressed Cheng Yuan's head, "Tell me, are you stupid? How could Grandfather bear to have Cheng Feng send you to the ancestral hall to suffer?"
"Then …" Cheng Yuan's chubby face squeezed together. He looked very funny, but in the Old Master's eyes, he looked cute.
"Isn't there another manor near the Cheng family's ancestral hall?" Old Master Cheng reminded.
Cheng Yuan immediately remembered that there was indeed a manor called Blue Willow Farm. It was a famous summer resort, with many fruits and fruits in the middle of summer.
Not far from the back of the farm was a small stream. Fishing and swimming during leisure time was the most convenient option.
The Old Master and the rest said that they would send Cheng Yuan to the ancestral hall, but in reality, they were just changing the pillars and sending him to the Blue Willow Farm.
After he understood, Cheng Yuan grabbed the Old Master's arm, twisted his body, and said coquettishly, "Grandfather really loves me the most. He can't bear to see me suffer."
However, he didn't mention anything about how he misunderstood Cheng Feng.
After the storm, the Cheng family returned to peace. When Cheng Feng left the main hall, he immediately sent someone to inform Cheng Yu about the farce that had occurred today.
Cheng Yuan sat in the carriage. On the surface, he was going to the ancestral hall to receive punishment, but in reality, he was going to the Blue Willow Farm to enjoy himself.
As the horse carriage sped along the dirt road, Cheng Yuan hummed a small tune in glee. In his mind, he couldn't help but think of the beautiful young man with a picturesque appearance whom he had seen in front of his restaurant.
It was truly beautiful. How could there be such a handsome man in this world? It was as if an immortal lord had descended to the mortal world. It was unknown just what sort of taste this immortal lord had.
Just as he was about to attack his heart, outside the carriage, his trusted servant, Yao Shunzi, suddenly opened his mouth and said in a low voice, "Young Noble, I think today's matter was ordered by Young Noble Cheng Yu. Think about it, a mere bodyguard like Wang Mu wouldn't have the guts to go against Young Noble."
Cheng Yuan was initially unhappy with the interruption, but when he understood the meaning behind Yao Shunzi's words, he immediately lifted the curtain of the carriage's curtain and asked, "What do you mean …?" The reason why Cheng Yu hid this matter is so that he can take advantage of the presence of the other two old bastards.
The manservant Yao Shunzi hurriedly covered Cheng Yuan's mouth with his hand. He nervously looked around to make sure no one was paying attention to him before he heaved a sigh of relief.
When he looked up and realized that Cheng Yuan's expression was not good, he immediately let go of his hand and smiled, "Young master, please don't be angry, I'm just afraid that the wall has ears. Many of these servants are subordinates of Lord Cheng Feng, if what we said just now were to reach his ears, you would definitely be safe and sound, but this servant will be in trouble, even if you don't die, you'll be crippled."
"Look at your cowardly appearance!" Cheng Yuan looked around disapprovingly, glancing at the servant in front and snorting coldly, "They don't have the guts to gossip like that!"
Yao Shunzi didn't think so, but since he wasn't the type of person to ask for a beating himself, he winked and flattered, "That's right!" Young Master Yuan, you are normally so powerful, how could these lowly slaves dare to go against you? "
Cheng Yuan smiled complacently as he beckoned for Yao Shunzi to enter the carriage.
"Young master." Yao Shunzi climbed into the carriage and obediently squatted in a corner.
Cheng Yuan looked at him with a dark expression on his face, "Although I have a deep relationship with brother Cheng Yu, but the wealth of my family is monstrous, the gold and silver of my family is filled to the brim, my family business is so tempting, and in order to become a family with wealth, it is not surprising that he would attack me. But I, Cheng Yuan, am not a soft persimmon.
He really did not care about what Cheng Yuan said. With his own intelligence, it would not take him many years to create a new business kingdom, and there was no need to covet for a new family business.
Unfortunately, Cheng Yuan did not know! He himself was a vile person who coveted wealth and power. He felt that everyone was like him.
