Chapter 50: Unmarried couple, in name only
Father Cheng was so angry when he saw Cheng Ye's arrogant and conceited look that he almost vomited blood. "Cheng Ye, you're going too far. Xiyan just wants you and Fenghao to get along well. Why are you so mean to her?"
"Look at you, you have no remorse at all. As a human being, you should have at least some conscience and bottom line!" Father Cheng pointed in the direction of Cheng Ye and shouted.
Cheng Ye's face remained calm. He listened to the other party's accusations as if he was listening to a huge joke that made him laugh out loud.
At this moment, there was a creaking sound from the door being pushed open.
Cheng Ye raised his eyes and saw Jiang Mian sitting silently beside him.
He subconsciously asked, "What are you doing here?"
Jiang Mian's beautiful eyes smiled, "Let's watch the show."
Father Cheng's face turned pale, and he happened to meet Jiang Mian's smiling gaze.
His pupils shrank slightly. He didn't know why. Jiang Mian's eyes didn't look aggressive at all, but he suddenly felt an indescribable fear rising in his heart.
Scared?!
When this emotion suddenly arose in his heart, Father Cheng's brows were furrowed into a shape of a "川" (川).
It's an illusion, it must be an illusion...
He has been in a high position for many years and is very decisive in the business world. What kind of ruthless people has he not seen? !
How could I be so speechless and scared by the look of a weak little girl who was only in the third year of high school? !
Father Cheng was indignant, "Cheng Ye, no matter what, you are at fault, you must..."
Before he finished speaking, Cheng Ye took over Cheng's father's words with a cold expression, "Do I have to apologize to Chu Xiyan?"
Father Cheng was shocked at first. Cheng Ye actually guessed what he was going to say next. He quickly recovered his expression and said righteously, "Of course! You must apologize!!"
"Heh——" Cheng Ye looked down upon them, "I just won't do that."
Chu Xiyan's red eyes became even redder because of Cheng Ye's words. She took a deep breath and explained her reasonable behavior again, "Cheng Ye, although I know that you and Feng Hao have opposing identities, it is difficult for you to live in harmony."
"But my original intention was good. I don't want the two of you to become enemies because of trivial matters."
Cheng Ye thought, aren’t these two tired of talking?
If he was not still a student and was not in the critical period of senior year preparing for the college entrance examination, he would have transferred to another school to stay away from these idiots.
Cheng Ye said in a tough tone, "Cheng Fenghao and I are no different from enemies. Miss Chu, can you please stop being so self-righteous and pretending to be doing it for my own good?"
"Birds of a feather flock together. You and I are not of the same kind. He provoked me, so it is only natural and reasonable for me to hit him."
"Cheng Fenghao misunderstood that I sent someone to beat him up, and the people around me misunderstood me. I am the victim. You are ridiculous. You come here to persuade the victim not to be prejudiced against the perpetrator, to let the victim be magnanimous, and to let the victim and the perpetrator live in harmony and not have conflicts again."
"From the beginning to the end, you favored Cheng Fenghao and advised me to accommodate him in everything."
"I have a bad temper and I was rude to you, so you asked Mr. Cheng to come over and force me to apologize to you?!"
"If Notre Dame de Paris is struck by lightning one day, you won't be left with nowhere to stay, right?"
Chu Xiyan's eyes were originally just red, but Cheng Ye's words after words rushed into her ears, causing Chu Xiyan, who was not strong enough inside, to burst into tears on the spot.
Father Cheng doesn't know yet that Cheng Fenghao misunderstood Cheng Ye because Cheng Fenghao never mentioned it to him.
He thought Chu Xiyan went to persuade Cheng Ye just because Cheng Ye beat Cheng Fenghao, but ended up being scolded by Cheng Ye.
I had no idea that there was a misunderstanding.
Father Cheng had a tense and annoyed face, looking a little unhappy. Feng Hao didn't explain everything clearly at once.
Feng Hao did not handle this well.
Father Cheng didn't know what to say for a moment and looked at Cheng Ye sullenly.
Cheng Ye was very impatient, "What else can you do besides crying?!"
Father Cheng became increasingly dissatisfied with Cheng Ye, "Cheng Ye, you are a boy, you should learn to give way to girls."
"Oh, I will only do that to girls who interest me." Cheng Ye said in a faint tone, in the most lighthearted manner, saying the most infuriating words.
Father Cheng sees through human nature, so how could he not know the implication of Cheng Ye's words.
Cheng Ye meant that he had no interest in Chu Xiyan at all! !
Father Cheng, who has always been a man of strong execution, felt completely helpless at this moment when faced with Cheng Ye's cunning and unreasonable arrogance!
In the past, Cheng Ye would give face to Chu Xiyan, but now he acts completely on his own and doesn't care about other people's lives when he is angry.
Father Cheng even seriously doubted that if today's society was not a society ruled by law, Cheng Ye would have taken action to solve the problem and would definitely not just talk back! !
Father Cheng felt more and more upset. He was always turned away by Cheng Ye. Where was his authority as a father? !
He attributed Cheng Ye's behavior to Cheng Ye's self-destruction and his decision to throw the jar into the ground, which was why he was so arrogant and domineering! !
Father Cheng was in a very bad mood. He patiently asked Chu Xiyan, "Xiyan, you said that Cheng Ye was misunderstood by Feng Hao, so who beat Feng Hao?"
Chu Xiyan pursed her lips, her voice choking, "It's Xie Zeyu, the second son of the mayor of Beijing."
When Father Cheng heard this, his face turned red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.
The city chief's second son, Xie Zeyu? !
The power and status of the mayor of the capital city and the Cheng family are basically equal.
He really didn't need to be humble to the city chief, but the problem was that Xie Zeyu didn't bully Feng Hao openly, but bullied him behind his back.
If he is bullied openly, he will never swallow his anger, but if he is bullied behind his back, it will cause a problem.
That is, if he doesn't want to affect the business dealings between the two parties, he can only keep quiet.
Father Cheng weighed the pros and cons, and didn't know how Feng Hao had offended Xie Zeyu, so it was not convenient for him to ask him in person.
But no matter what, Feng Hao had already been beaten up, and the matter was a foregone conclusion, so Feng Hao had no choice but to endure it.
A fall-out would affect the interests of the Cheng family, and Cheng's father absolutely does not want to openly oppose the mayor of Beijing.
"Cheng Ye, I have already explained the reasons to Feng Hao and my classmates. They will not misunderstand you anymore."
"I don't care." Cheng Ye shrugged nonchalantly, and stood up calmly.
What if Chu Xiyan explained it clearly? What if she didn’t explain it clearly?
Caring about the opinions of people around you will only make your life extremely tiring.
"Mr. Cheng, please pay attention to the most basic sense of boundaries. I have severed my relationship with the Cheng family, and the agreement has been signed."
"It's written clearly in black on a white background." Cheng Ye sneered coldly, "Don't come to me again and again to trouble me. The topic of questioning me is always Cheng Fenghao and Chu Xiyan."
"Cheng Fenghao was beaten by me, he must have provoked me. You don't have to repeatedly ask me why I did this. There is no need for a reason to beat someone up. You don't have to be like a three-year-old child and force me to repeatedly emphasize the reason to you, right?"
"And you, Chu Xiyan, let me put this aside. The engagement between you and me is only in name only. Whether you favor Feng Hao or fall in love with another man, it has nothing to do with me."
"Do whatever you want. Don't try to control and restrict my thoughts and actions. I don't have a masochistic constitution." Cheng Ye made everything clear in one breath.
"We've severed our relationship, but you still act like an elder and my fiancée, and keep getting close to me. Aren't you ashamed?"
After saying this, Cheng Ye took Jiang Mian's hand and walked out of the classroom, ignoring the incredulous and shocked looks on Cheng's father and Chu Xiyan's faces.
When Cheng's father reacted at this time, he gritted his teeth and his face turned very dark.
This is outrageous. Cheng Ye really doesn't take his biological father seriously at all!
Without the most basic filial piety, what's the point of Cheng Ye living? !
