Chapter 34: Cruel Lingchi, Sores
Cheng Wei was stunned by Cheng Ye's series of words.
By the time she reacted, Cheng Ye had disappeared.
She suddenly felt a strong sense of suffocation, which made it difficult for her to breathe.
They were the ones who took the initiative to take Cheng Ye home, so why did they become suspicious and disgusted with Cheng Ye? !
They even don't welcome Cheng Ye home...
At that time, the Cheng and Chu families knew that Cheng Fenghao was not the biological blood of the Cheng family. If there was no engagement, perhaps Cheng's father would not have taken Cheng Ye home at all.
Thinking of this reason, the eldest sister Cheng Wei couldn't help but clench her fists. Her heart seemed to be deeply pierced by a sharp dagger. The intense and unbearable pain that could not be dissipated spread wildly throughout her body.
Cheng Wei looked stunned. She murmured to herself, "But Cheng Ye didn't have this attitude during the three years he stayed in the Cheng family!"
Ever since Feng Hao's 18th birthday party, Cheng Ye began to change.
He was no longer silent, nor did he always follow the Cheng family's lead.
"Sister, you're in school." Cheng Fenghao listened to his classmates' discussion. Cheng Wei went to find Cheng Ye, so he rushed over without stopping.
Cheng Fenghao was panting as he walked, looking very weak, but he still quickened his pace and ran to Cheng Wei.
Cheng Wei saw all of this.
She sighed, wishing that Cheng Ye could be half as obedient as Feng Hao.
"Feng Hao, I'm tired. I'll go back and rest first. You should also hurry back to the classroom." Cheng Wei was exhausted both physically and mentally.
Hearing this, Cheng Fenghao shed tears in grievance, "Sister, I'm sorry, if it weren't for me, your relationship with your brother wouldn't be so strained. It's my fault that I made you worry about me..."
When Cheng Wei saw Feng Hao apologizing with a wronged look, she felt very distressed.
Feng Hao had been with her for eighteen years, from childhood to adulthood, and they had a deep relationship as siblings.
Why can’t Cheng Ye understand them?
Will Feng Hao feel comfortable only if he is bullied every day?
Cheng Fenghao shook Cheng Wei's arm and said coquettishly, "Sister, my current chef's cooking is not very good. Can we change him to a chef with better cooking skills?"
"Of course no problem." Big sister Cheng Wei agreed with a smile. Feng Hao never eats the food in the cafeteria.
His three meals a day will be prepared by a five-star chef specially arranged by the Cheng family to ensure that Feng Hao gets enough nutrition.
Cheng Wei was smiling, but her face suddenly froze.
During the three years that Cheng Ye was in the Cheng family, they never arranged a dedicated chef for Cheng Ye.
Not only that, Cheng Ye almost never eats at the Cheng family.
They don't care what they eat for three meals a day, whether they are full, and whether they have nutritional balance...
The more Cheng Wei thought about it, the more she felt suffocated. Every Chinese New Year, their family of six would have a lively reunion dinner, but Cheng Ye was the only one missing...
Everyone in the Cheng family has a deep prejudice against Cheng Ye, and no one has ever thought about treating Cheng Ye well.
"Feng Hao, I'm going back to rest." Cheng Wei was in a trance. After she said this, she walked towards the school gate alone.
Cheng Fenghao looked unhappy. He always felt that his elder sister didn't care about him as much as before.
In the past, whenever he was injured, no matter how tired she was, she would definitely send him back to the classroom in person before leaving.
He tried to comfort himself, thinking that maybe his elder sister was too tired from work, and she just went to talk to Cheng Ye for him, so she must be very tired.
Cheng Wei returned to Cheng's house and saw Cheng's mother sitting on the sofa watching TV.
She walked over and asked uncertainly, "Mom, have we really never bought anything for him like Cheng Ye said?"
Mother Cheng was stunned. She was very ashamed. "I didn't have it. I was busy taking care of Feng Hao, so I forgot. Didn't you buy it?"
Cheng Wei shook her head in a depressed mood, "Where are Dad, Second Sister, and Third Sister? Have they ever bought anything for Cheng Ye?"
"Your father probably doesn't. He's in charge of external affairs, and I'm in charge of internal affairs. We're all busy with company affairs, so how could we pay attention to these trivial matters?"
"As for the two of them..." Mother Cheng sent WeChat messages to Zhirou and Shiyan respectively. After receiving the messages, she said helplessly, "Neither."
"What Cheng Ye said is true?!" Cheng Wei's face was full of disbelief. In these three years, none of them had ever bought anything for Cheng Ye?
Is that true? !
Cheng Wei felt cold all over. "Since we haven't bought anything, where's the money? Cheng Ye won't eat with us. Does he only rely on his junior high school scholarship to support his food and clothing?!"
"The junior high school scholarship can't last that long, right? He's now run away from home, but he hasn't asked us for a penny. His high school grades weren't good, so he can't get a scholarship!"
Mother Cheng was surprised; her eldest daughter's question really stumped her.
She hadn't thought about this issue seriously.
So she called the family finance department, and the finance department told her that no one in the Cheng family asked the finance department to give Cheng Ye pocket money every month.
But Feng Hao has more than 500,000 yuan in pocket money every month.
Mother Cheng's tears burst out of her eyes. She covered her face and cried, "No wonder Cheng Ye wanted to break off relations with us..."
At this point, Cheng's mother was no longer able to speak and broke down in tears.
Cheng Wei's breathing was rapid, and tears gradually blurred her eyes. "No, that's not right. How could this happen?"
She was eager to verify something, and hurriedly called the housekeeper, "Go and investigate Cheng Ye's source of income during this period."
The housekeeper was efficient and informed them immediately after finding out, "Madam, Miss, the young master's main source of income is the junior high school scholarship."
Cheng Wei was stunned. She shook her head fiercely, "Impossible! Three years! How could it have lasted until now?!"
She would rather believe that Cheng Ye stole Sanmei's luxury necklace and sold it for a lot of money than believe that Cheng Ye could survive for so long relying on the scholarship! !
"Miss, that's true. In addition to the school scholarship, Cheng Ye also participated in many international competitions during his junior high school years."
"Especially some competitions are more commercial in nature, and the organizers like to use titles like genius boy and genius girl as gimmicks to earn traffic, so the prize money is not small."
"However, according to a thorough investigation, the various scholarships he received are almost used up." The butler reported the results of the investigation respectfully.
Running out?
Cheng Wei immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as Cheng Ye loses his financial support, sooner or later he will return to the Cheng family and beg them for help.
"But..." The butler hesitated.
Cheng Wei frowned, "But what?"
"The young master got full marks in the physics competition this time and received a prize of 30,000 yuan." The housekeeper was submissive and spoke very carefully, "Madam, Miss. Is the young master serious about severing ties with the Cheng family?"
Hearing the sound, Cheng's mother and Cheng Wei were shocked as if struck by lightning.
He was suddenly subjected to cruel torture, with his entire body covered in wounds!
Mother Cheng's lips trembled. "Full marks in the physics competition?"
She only knew that Fenghao had failed the physics competition. In order not to make Fenghao sad, she did not take the initiative to mention the results!
But she didn't pay attention to Cheng Ye's grades!
Father Cheng never mentioned it to me!
Cheng Wei was also stunned. Thirty thousand yuan in prize money?!
She just found out today that Cheng Ye scored full marks in the Physics Competition?!
Cheng Ye and Feng Hao were clearly in the same class, and she only found out about this today?!
Wait, didn't father say that he would show Feng Hao's physics competition results to Mr. Chu on the day he met him? !
In this case, he will definitely ask the teacher for the grade ranking document.
This means that his father knows Cheng Ye’s grades.
But why didn't their father tell them? !
Cheng Wei's body was shaking, tears were pouring out of her eyes, and her heart was beating wildly!
Horrible extreme suffocation!!
Every one of them is horrible!!
Ignoring Cheng Ye to such an outrageous degree...
Obviously, if they just paid a little more attention, it wouldn't be so outrageous.
To Cheng Ye, what is the essential difference between the Cheng family and a terrifying cage? !
