Chapter 66: Bloodline, Different
The second mock exam is over and the senior high school students have a day off.
Su Jiao came over and talked about the safety precautions that should be taken during the holidays, and then other teachers assigned holiday homework.
Even though there is only one day off, teachers are afraid that students will waste time playing, so they assign a lot of exercise tasks.
The students listened to all the teachers' lullabies in a depressed mood, and then ran out of the classroom in a swarm.
In Cheng Ye's opinion, there was no need to do the tasks assigned by the teacher, so he simply stuffed all the test papers, exercise books and textbooks into the desk drawer.
I only stuffed draft paper and stationery into my backpack, planning to spend the whole day in the library tomorrow.
Cheng Ye and Jiang Mian walked to the school gate.
Chu Xiyan is going to have dinner with Cheng Fenghao and others.
When she saw Cheng Ye appear, he still looked noble and cool, but his tone was not as cold anymore.
"Cheng Ye, do you want to go eat together? After dinner, we will drive you back." Chu Xiyan couldn't help but speak.
Cheng Fenghao was not very happy, because the old man of the Chu family would also be present at the dinner. If Cheng Ye went there, it would be bad if he managed to gain favor with the old man again.
"No need, I have an appointment with Jiang Mian." Cheng Ye's voice was cold and indifferent.
Chu Xiyan pursed her lips, feeling a little nervous, "Cheng Ye, is it necessary for our relationship to be so awkward?"
Father Cheng frowned tightly.
Cheng's mother persuaded him in time: "Xiaoye, you just finished the mock exam, let's have a meal together. You and Xiyan have never had a meal together."
Cheng Ye ignored him and walked away without looking back.
Mother Cheng stared at Cheng Ye's back dully, and she was increasingly unable to enter Cheng Ye's heart.
Why does this happen?
Mother Cheng felt a lump in her nose and suddenly had no appetite for dinner.
Chu Xiyan was in a heavy mood. She had sided with Feng Hao countless times and made Cheng Ye kneel down and apologize. She should have thought that sooner or later there would be a day when Cheng Ye would be completely disappointed in her.
Although she did nothing wrong, the way she handled the situation may not be appropriate.
Feng Hao has lived in the Cheng family for eighteen years and has established a deep relationship with the Cheng family.
In front of her, he was always obedient and sensible, giving in to Cheng Ye in everything, being considerate, kind and not fussy.
Chu Xiyan had to admit that these factors made her lose some of her most basic rationality.
In many cases, the problem could have been handled in a gentler way, such as through communication, but she chose to use the most drastic approach.
"Xiyan, let's go. The private car is here." Seeing Chu Xiyan staring in the direction where Cheng Ye left, Cheng Fenghao felt a surge of jealousy and resentment in his heart.
Damn Cheng Ye, he always uses the method of playing hard to get to attract Chu Xiyan's attention.
However, on the surface, he still looked considerate and generous, "Xiyan, don't think too much, brother will understand us sooner or later. Let's go eat now, your grandfather will be at the hotel soon."
Chu Xiyan looked back blankly, and absent-mindedly followed the Cheng family into the private car.
-
five star hotel.
When the old man of the Chu family took his seat, the Cheng family was basically all there, except Cheng Ye.
His eyes twinkled, and he said meaningfully: "Xiao Cheng, where is your son? Isn't the second mock exam over?"
The faces of the Cheng family and Chu Xiyan froze.
Cheng Fenghao's expression was the ugliest.
Even though Cheng Ye didn't come, Grandpa Chu still mentioned Cheng Ye specifically. It seems that Cheng Ye's previous physics competition and mock test did win Grandpa Chu's favor.
Mad.
When he heard Cheng Ye's name, he felt very unlucky! !
Father Cheng froze for a moment, and quickly replied to the old man of the Chu family, "Xiao Ye has something to do and can't come."
It's impossible to just tell the truth and tell the old man of the Chu family that Cheng Ye rejected their invitation, right?
This is too flattering.
What's more, letting the old man of the Chu family know that their relationship with Cheng Ye is not very harmonious will inevitably bring bad influence.
"Really?" The old man of the Chu family was a shrewd man. He took a sip of tea slowly and said calmly, "I heard that you and Cheng Ye broke off your relationship. Can you tell me why?"
This is really a case of bringing up something irrelevant. Cheng Fenghao clenched his hands into fists under the table, the veins on the back of his hands were bulging, and he was very angry.
He tried hard to control his facial expression.
Father Cheng smiled awkwardly, "We didn't mean that. It was because the child was disobedient and in his rebellious period that he got angry with us, so we came up with that agreement to sever ties."
"We were furious at the time and felt really bad for him. How can a blood relationship be severed just by a piece of paper?"
"Alas, Xiaoye is being unreasonable. We have no choice but to sign the agreement because we think he won't be hanging around outside for long and will return to the Cheng family sooner or later."
"But we didn't expect that Xiaoye is so stubborn and still unwilling to return to the Cheng family on her own initiative."
Father Cheng looked melancholy.
The old man of the Chu family stroked his beard and said, "This is it."
He glanced at Cheng Fenghao meaningfully, and said, "Xiao Cheng, biological blood is still different, what do you think?"
Father Cheng's eyelids twitched several times. What did the old man of the Chu family mean by this?
The sour feeling in Cheng's mother's nose came again, and her eyes turned red.
Cheng Fenghao endured the strong feeling of discomfort and wanted to wait for Cheng's father to speak before saying something nice.
Father Cheng thought for a while and said cautiously, "Yes, although Xiaoye has signed the agreement to sever ties, he is still a member of our Cheng family as long as we have blood ties."
"Even if he signs, he can't escape from our grasp." Cheng's father's voice turned cold. The Cheng family is wealthy and powerful. If they really want to control Cheng Ye, there is no way they can't do it.
The old man of the Chu family complained, "But I heard that when Cheng Ye was in the Cheng family, he had no other source of income except living in a small utility room that was worse than a servant's."
"Even if he returns to the Cheng family and is under your control, he probably won't be able to live a comfortable life, right?" The old man of the Chu family said calmly.
Father Cheng was stunned for a moment. Yes, if that was the case, why would they let Cheng Ye return to the Cheng family?
but......
Father Cheng presented facts and reasoned, "Xiao Ye is our biological son, the biological brother of three sisters, and the biological brother of Feng Hao. The blood of the Cheng family cannot be left outside, otherwise it will make the rich and famous laugh at us."
"Xiaoye grew up in an orphanage and picked up many bad habits. Without the guidance of his family, living alone outside, it is easy for him to go down the road of breaking the law and there is no return." Father Cheng said with a stern face, "So he must return to the Cheng family."
"When he returns to the Cheng family, I will give him a good lesson."
Listening to their father's words, the eldest sister Cheng Wei and the second sister Cheng Zhirou felt as if they were falling into an ice cellar, with an indescribable feeling of suffocation in their hearts.
The old man of the Chu family was silent.
Seeing this, Cheng Fenghao quickly said, "Grandpa Chu, although my brother has developed many bad habits, I believe that one day he will get better."
The old man of the Chu family frowned, "Bad habits?"
"It's like this. When my brother was at the Cheng family, he not only bullied me frequently, but also always stole personal belongings from my parents and sisters. We caught him."
Cheng Fenghao suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing. He hurriedly covered his mouth and shook his head violently, "No, no, Grandpa Chu, my brother is not a thief, please don't misunderstand me."
Then, his face showed guilt and sadness after saying the wrong thing.
The old man of the Chu family began to doubt. Cheng Ye had chosen to cut off ties with her. With such a straightforward personality, could he possibly become a shady thief?
Wouldn't it be more convenient to steal things if I continue to stay in the Cheng family?
