Chapter 31: Evil seeds take root
"Dad, I don't have Cheng Ye's phone number." The eldest sister Cheng Wei said truthfully.
Father Cheng was stunned. No call from Cheng Ye?
He immediately took out his cell phone and suddenly realized that he didn't have Cheng Ye's phone number either.
Father Cheng remembered that he didn't save Cheng Ye's phone number at all.
Cheng Ye took the initiative to ask for his phone number, but at that time, he ignored Cheng Ye's flattery and was unwilling to know Cheng Ye's phone number.
Even though Cheng Ye later asked him for his WeChat ID, he automatically ignored Cheng Ye's request.
At that time, deep down he didn't want to have too much contact with Cheng Ye.
I always feel that Cheng Ye grew up in an orphanage and has picked up a lot of bad habits. If I had his contact information, he would probably ask me for money and gifts often.
Father Cheng prevented this kind of situation from happening at the root.
"Then contact him on WeChat and tell him that mom is in a bad mood now." Father Cheng then explained the matter to the eldest sister Cheng Wei.
The eldest sister Cheng Wei's expression became increasingly stiff, and she was clearly embarrassed. "Dad, I don't have Cheng Ye's phone number or WeChat."
"How could it be that he didn't have any?" Cheng's father frowned. "I remember that on the day Cheng Ye returned to the Cheng family, you added his phone number and WeChat?"
The eldest sister Cheng Wei explained the reason, "Dad, I'm so busy at work every day, and Cheng Ye always calls or sends WeChat messages, saying meaningless words of concern!"
"He visited me at the company several times and brought me food, saying he was worried that I would be too busy with work to eat."
"I found him annoying, so I blocked and deleted all his phone numbers and WeChat accounts!"
Father Cheng's face looked unhappy. He turned his gaze to his second daughter Cheng Zhirou, "Call him!"
The second sister Cheng Zhirou shrugged and shook her head, "Dad, I don't have any either. Cheng Ye always bullies Feng Hao, I hate him, and I deleted it a long time ago! How could I keep it?"
Father Cheng's spirit suddenly tensed up. He looked at his third daughter, Cheng Shiyan, and said, "What about you? Don't tell me you deleted his contact information too?"
Cheng Shiyan was absent-minded. She kept thinking about the burn scar on the inside of Cheng Ye's right arm.
Father Cheng patiently called his third daughter again.
Cheng Shiyan was in a trance, "Yes, yes. Cheng Ye not only bullied Feng Hao, but also always called and affected my surgery. I blocked him."
The second sister Cheng Zhirou said unhappily: "Dad, Cheng Ye is so unpleasant, just delete it. Why call him?"
"If he cared about Mom, why would we need to call him? He would have returned to the Cheng family long ago!!"
Father Cheng pinched his aching forehead with his fingers. He finally asked Mother Cheng, "Do you have his phone number?"
Mother Cheng's crying suddenly stopped.
She felt sorry for Feng Hao at first, and was afraid that after Cheng Ye came in, it would hurt Feng Hao's fragile heart and make Feng Hao mistakenly think that he was an outsider.
So from the very beginning, she didn't add any contact information for Cheng Ye.
Even if Cheng Ye mentioned this to her, she would just change the subject and brush it off.
When Mr. Cheng saw the embarrassment on Mrs. Cheng's face, he knew that Mrs. Cheng didn't have Cheng Ye's contact information either.
Cheng Fenghao rolled his eyes and spoke with care and concern, "Dad, Mom, let the housekeeper check my brother's phone number, then we'll know, right?"
Cheng's father instructed the housekeeper to quickly find out Cheng Ye's phone number.
He called immediately.
However, the notification tone told him that Cheng Ye hung up the phone! !
Father Cheng's face suddenly turned dark.
Treason! !
How dare you hang up on him?!
How unreasonable! !

The living room at the backyard gate of the clinic.
"Grandma, these are the clothes I bought for you." Cheng Ye handed two bags of clothes to Song Ranqiu.
Song Ranqiu looked down at the clothes in the exquisite bag. She was touched but also felt it was a waste. "Why did you buy me clothes for no reason, kid?"
"It's okay. I won 30,000 yuan in prize money in the physics competition." Cheng Ye said with a smile, "It won't cost much to buy two pieces of clothes."
Song Ranqiu was surprised, "Xiaoye, are you kidding me? Isn't the first place in the Yahua High School Physics Competition worth 20,000 yuan?"
"I got full marks in the exam, and the school awarded me an extra 10,000 yuan." Cheng Ye explained gently.
"Xiaoye, grandma has something to ask you." Song Ranqiu was in a heavy mood, "When I came back, I found you carrying your schoolbag and entering a building in the alley."
Cheng Ye's eyes paused slightly.
"You don't live in the Cheng family anymore?" Song Ranqiu's eyes were complicated. "Did you have a fight with your family?"
Cheng Ye was silent for a moment.
He knew very well that he couldn't keep the severance of ties with the Cheng family a secret from his grandmother.
"Yes." Cheng Ye's voice was calm and calm, "I feel tired and can't feel happy staying in the Cheng family."
"But I'm an adult and capable of taking care of myself. Grandma, you don't have to worry." Cheng Ye said calmly with a calm expression.
Song Ranqiu hesitated and wanted to say something else.
But what's the point of continuing the conversation?
It can't be that you are trying to persuade Xiaoye to return to the Cheng family, right?
To Xiaoye, the Cheng family is a terrifying cage and a suffocating hellish environment.
When Xiaoye was taken back by the Cheng family, Song Ranqiu felt relieved and happy.
He has parents, three older sisters, and a wealthy and affluent family background.
It should have been smooth sailing...
However, she could never have imagined that everyone in the Cheng family only favored and loved their adopted son, but treated their biological son like a piece of trash!
Song Ranqiu turned her face away unconsciously, and crystal tears welled up in her cloudy eyes.
"I cooked your favorite celery and beef dumplings, and also made some delicious pastries." Song Ranqiu pulled Cheng Ye to the dining table, "Eat quickly, don't starve yourself."
Cheng Ye couldn't help but feel a sour feeling in his nose, even though his biological parents and three sisters didn't love him.
But he has a grandmother, he is not a homeless child.
After dinner, Cheng Ye said hello to Song Ranqiu and went back in the direction of the rental house.
He walked into the alley. The night was dotted with stars, and the bright moon brought some light.
Cheng Ye saw from afar that a group of thugs were beating each other without mercy, leaving their faces and bodies covered in blood.
The little girl was blocked by them in front and there was no space for her to pass.
She was about to turn around and take another route.
The thugs who were fighting discovered the girl at this time.
Some people stopped fighting, whistled, and moved towards the little girl in a gangster-like manner.
Cheng Ye saw the girl's identity clearly from her profile; it was Jiang Mian.
When Jiang Mian turned around, he happened to see Cheng Ye not far ahead.
She ran over with tears in her eyes and hid behind Cheng Ye, "Cheng Ye, I'm so scared."
Cheng Ye's eyes were fixed on the front. When the thugs saw him, they didn't even say anything to provoke him. They just continued their fight while cursing at him.
A little strange.
He turned around and said, "Where do you live? I'll take you back."
Jiang Mian blushed and pointed to Cheng Ye, "Turn right twice ahead and walk a little further and you will arrive."
"Yeah." Cheng Ye put his hands in his pockets and walked lazily, "Do you live alone?"
"Yes." Jiang Mian's voice was soft and he looked well behaved.
Cheng Ye curled the corners of his lips and teased her, "Aren't you afraid if I find out that you live alone?"
Jiang Mian's eyes were pure and innocent, and the seeds of evil in her heart were taking root wantonly. She smiled and said, "What are you afraid of?"
